O'Grady Plumbing has been a multi-generational plumbing company for homes and businesses in San Francisco. By employing a significant number of Master plumbers and offering a complete suite of plumbing services, we are proficient in constructing, fixing, maintaining, and upgrading plumbing systems throughout San Francisco and San Mateo.
In 1946, Martin O'Grady left his family's farm in Roscommon, Ireland for Dublin to start his plumbing apprenticeship. For the next ten years, he gained experience in London and New York through union work and established his own plumbing company in 1977 to care for his six children and advance his expertise as a master plumber. Currently, O'Grady Plumbing has over 50 years of experience and incorporates the newest technology to provide consistent quality service whenever we come to your home.
I focus on one simple goal: to take care of our customers and guarantee they get a fair deal. I started my journey with my dad in 1990 and have grown to a level that rivals his. My expertise lies in finding effective solutions for challenging plumbing issues. In many cases, troubleshooting underground pipes is the toughest task. This is my competitive edge, as I combine my honest methodology, full array of drain service equipment, and thorough training to complete the job accurately and cost-effectively.

Recommended Customer Reviews

We operate a childcare center in BayView. One of our little toilets was out of order and with 16 three year olds that could be a big messy problem. The technician was right on time, he found the problem, got the part and then waited an extra hour so that he wouldn't disturb the children's lunch. He wore shoe covers, everything was clean when he left and the cost was very very reasonable.

Steve of O'Grady Plumbing came out at 10 AM on the morning we called, about an hour after we called. He was pleasant throughout, and quite knowledgeable. He did a very great deal of work, spending just over an hour to unclog a long drainage pipe that was packed with roots and causing sewage to back up in our basement. I thought the charge was reasonable ($292), and Steve helped me solve an unrelated plumbing problem along the way, and gave me advice on how to prevent future drain clogs. Steve is the only O'Grady plumber I've ever dealt with, but I'd certainly recommend O'Grady based on my experience with him.

We met with a friendly plumber name Tung to have our water heater replaced. He was not only efficient and courteous but very helpful. He got the job done in a couple hours for a fair price $1375. The best part was that we weren't pressured to sign up for a service plan. We will be definitely keeping in contact for all our plumbing needs. Thank you Tung.

Wow, I'm impressed. These guys know what they're doing, and fix things quick. I have kind of an odd setup with a product many plumbers seemingly have never heard of. Zero problem for them though, I'm set. Great customer service too, nice guys. They're my go-to from now on for any plumbing problems. I highly recommend.

I absolutely LOVE working with O'Grady Plumbing. I am a local real estate broker in the Bayview and O'Grady is always so quick, thorough and professional every time I have called them. From the technicians on location to the owners of the company, the level of customer service is always top notch, especially Tong! Love them!

Very professional service. Gave me options on fixing my leak and exact pricing along with how long it would take before beginning the work. Educated me about the type of piping we have under our sink and the potential issues with it etc. Did a great job!
Incredibly polite, well mannered staff. I will use them again.

I have previously posted a bad review of Paul. It was based on his unreliabilty when I had stayed at home waiting for a scheduled appointment. He then priced the job without visiting - it was so high I went elsewhere.
Paul has called to apologize and to explain the issues he was facing at the time. I accept that. I also found that the other company who are pretty well respected (Angie's List) also refused the job after visiting. So the job obviously sucks! I have scrapped it (under house gas pipe to a fireplace) and I want to remove my eternal damnation of Paul etal.
The jobs he has done in the past for me have been well done and yes, I will use him again.

Recommended by the contractor i wanted (john fahan) because it was a small job and he was so busy. He said to call Paul. It is a very small bathroom, took over 4 weeks although there was a deadline for a tenant moving in. Every timeI tried to nail down a schedule/date to come over I was told, we'll see tomorrow or we'll see how it goes today, so and so was sick...and so forth.I constantly reminded him of the deadline, and he didn't seem to care. I pushed 3 days before the tenant was moving and he said, well tenants shouldn't be moving in when a place isn't finished (even though originally he said it would be no problem to get it done by that date). I finally had to call in a plumber to do what he didn't want to do. I also had to get a 2nd contractor in to remove and center the mirror. Paul told me that there was a pipe in the way so it couldn't be centered, but when the new guy removed the recessed mirror there was no pipe?? and he centered it just fine. Also the light fixture was off center, when I asked about centering it I was told that because of 'the box' it couldn't be moved even an inch, well that was taken care of by the 2nd contractor who again moved it without any trouble. Anyway, totally blown away (not in a good way) by the experience.

Paul O'Grady is a cutie and his company has a beautiful logo, nearly impossible to forget or not to recognize it. Their technician fixed my water heater last week and so far it has worked better than when it was new. I also loved the video Paul posting on Youtube agains a competitor who slandered him. Well done mr O'grady.

This is my second time using Paul's company. O'Grady Plumbing is a treasure despite the slanderous reviews posted by other Yelpers. O'Grady Plumbing has performed work in my property in two occasions and I have nothing bad to say about it. The second time I used this company I got a discount in appreciation for my continuous support. I can't do less than posting this review so that everyone knows how good O'Grady Plumbing is.
