Obsta Plumbing

Our water heater tank suddenly stop working leaving us the discomfort of having without hot water. I searched for plumbing company and Obsta plumbing always comes up with recommendations from the people. I told my husband about it and he called Obsta Plumbing and requested for their service. Justin A. came to our house with his teammate, checked out the tank location and explained very well the things we needed to know on what to choose for the tank replacement. We chose to have the tankless water heater. They installed it and we are very happy and grateful for the superb work that they have done. They are very professional, honest and straight to the point.We recommend Obsta Plumbing!!! Good company with good people and service!

Years ago Paul Obsta did some plumbing repairs at my home and he did great work for a fair price. So naturally I called Obsta Plumbing the next time I needed work done. Didn't have the same great experience with employee Justin Allen because he kept hiking the price up above the original quote (which was already above competitor pricing) for things that were supposed to be included. I paid anyway because I didn't want to start the process over with a new company, and hoped I'd get Paul again for the next call. I didn't. All in all, I have spent thousands of dollars in routine plumbing maintenance & repairs with this company. The last visit was the straw that broke the camel's back. Justin Allen and a tech came to my house and acted like they couldn't be bothered to do what they came to do, but charged me for the work anyway. I called back to their company several times to remind them that specific work was requested and they sent the same guy back out again, but he never completed the tasks. Of course I was billed top dollar for incomplete work. The definition of crazy is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting a different outcome, so I won't be calling Obsta Plumbing ever again.

Needed a quote for a plumbing service. They would not provide a free quote over the phone. Instead, they wanted to come out to the house and see the work to give a $115 estimate. The estimate fee is waived only if I decide to use their service. What a way to entrap and lock customers from paying the $115. Avoid at all cost. Bad business model.

We had an extremely weird plumbing problem. Paul from Obsta Plumbing came out and had it resolved in three hours. Excellent work, fair price. I couldn't have asked for more. I will definitely use Obsta again when the need arises!!

We had a back up in our plumbing line that started late at night. We contacted Obsta and they were able to help us get out of the EMERGENCY so we could get through the night and then they were here 1st thing in the morning! Fast, Friendly and Efficient Service!!!!
I would give them 100 's if I could!

What a great locally owned and operated company. Making an appointment was so easy. The plumbers they sent out were very knowledgeable and were able to explain exactly what was wrong and what the repair needed to be. I'm so happy with Obsta Plumbing. I will only use them from now on!

So I'll be up front and say I'm not the smartest homeowner. One of the bathrooms had a clogged sink and my wife asked next door neighbors if they had a recommendation. After reading a few glowing recommendations, we called Obsta. They were prompt in their response and I believe sent someone over the next day. Without spending more than 2 mins on the diagnosis, the plumber said it's the A/C draining into the same pipe as the bathroom. We knew about the algae build up since this happened a couple of years ago and thought this is normal. The plumber said he was going to pour down some industrial strength sulfuric acid that only he can get. Sure enough it cleared the clog. Total charge for this effort: $175.

Turns out algae build up is common and you are supposed to pour Clorox down the t-pipe connector (if you have one) that drains the A/C.

Here's why I think they deserve only 2 stars. They were prompt and they fixed the problem.

A better solution would have been to spend a few mins in the attic and recommend installing a t-pipe connector on the drain line from the A/C so we can do a better job at maintenance. Or maybe both A/C's shouldnt drain into the same pipe and lets reroute unit A somewhere else. Or anything, but let's pour good old industrial strength sulfuric acid down the pipes.

Had a great experience with this company. The owner came out himself and was very knowledgeable on what issues there could be with buying our new home. I believe it was a fair cost for identifying potential issues with plumbing under the house. I recommend using this company as they are small and really care about your issues.
