Martin O'Grady left his family farm in Roscommon, Ireland at 15 for Dublin to start his plumbing apprenticeship. He spent the following ten years working in London and New York as a union plumber and started his own business in 1977 to support his six children and continue his growth 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.
My mission in the company is clear: to serve our customers well and make sure they receive a good value. 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. Underground pipes often present the greatest challenges. This is where I stand out from the competition with my honest approach, comprehensive drain service equipment, and extensive training to ensure the job is done correctly and affordably.

Recommended Customer Reviews

I called and got an appointment the day after. They were running a little behind and gave me a ring which I appreciated. Brandon came out and solved my problem in a few minutes. He was a very nice polite and approachable human. Love O'Grady plumbing, a local SF business that treats its customers fairly. Thx Again!

I called these guys to unclog a shower drain.
Another plumber had been through, attempted to snake, and failed. That other plumber suggested spending $3000 cutting holes in walls and tossing pipes around.
O'grady's guy simply snaked the pipe correctly/successfully.
Pricing was not cheap but was fair.
The one downside is that they no-showed for the first appointment. However, they made up for it by getting things done on a second appointment the next day.

This plumbers know what they are doing. The did a great job installing my water filtration system and connecting it to insta Hot and Cold water dispenser. Paul help me up with the equipment selection. I highly recommend this company!

They are hard workers working straight from when the time they arrived at 10am until 4:30pm. They came out to replace a broken sewer line near the cleanout. They did not take a bathroom break or lunch hour. Instead they ate their sandwiches standing up even though I setup some chairs for them to sit down and take a break. What made their work efforts extra ordinary was the job was harder than anticipated. When I reported seeing dry toilet paper fragments near the cleanout in the street before they came, I was not aware the sewer line was mostly clogged. There was no sign of sewage or smell in the property or the garage. I thought the tenants washing machine had drained alot of water at one time and that flushed the sewer line of the toilet paper fragments seen in the top of the cleanout.The drains seemed to be draining so I assumed the sewer line was still draining. Instead they had to vacuum suction out probably 30-50 gallons from the sewer line before they could get to the pipe to be replaced. This draining had to be done when they were standing inside the hole they dug. We did let the tenants know not to use the water until further notice but someone used the water and the workers got splashed from the open end of the sewer line. This was not funny and they quickly ran over to turn the main water supply line off. They could have gotten angry and swore but kept their cool.

My wife's workplace had very good experience with O'Grady Plumbing Technician (Matteo) who cleared a kitchen sink drain problem in the Lunch Room recently. I was glad to have Matteo to work on the two problems at home on July 1, 2020. He cleared both the bathroom sink drain and kitchen sink drain problems and kept the areas clean while working on the problems. He also gave me several tips for preventive maintenance. Matteo, Thank you.
(My husband asked me to post this review.)

Our kitchen sink clogged in the middle of the day and he manage to bring someone out within two hours. Great service!

I've worked with Paul on a number of projects and always found him to be both knowledgeable and professional. When I had a Victorian, seemed like there was always something wrong with the old fixtures. Luckily Paul and his team have lots of experience with those think.
Thank you! Appreciate the hard work.

Hmm, I see O'Grady's response below, which I think is a copout. We are in their system for multiple appointments over the years. I wish they'd taken our feedback as a way of improving their quality and reliability, rather than dodging it.

For the past 7+ years we were having problems with our downstairs toilets causing major clogs and periodic flooding in our basement. It has truly been a nightmare to deal with. After 8+ plumbers giving random ideas that never worked I was referred to o'Grady who solved an extremely complex problem. I was on the verge of breaking ground and redoing piping until Mateo and Brendan from O'Grady came to the rescue. They ran the camera for hours and they were able to locate a piece of metal in the pipe that was causing the severe clogging. Mateo attached a magnet to his camera and was able to snake back out the large piece of metal that was stuck 20 feet into the pipe. Truly impressive work of plumbing and innovative thinking that saved me time and money. I can not thank Mateo, Brendan, and O'Grady enough for all the help!!!!! Mateo, you are truly a stud for thinking outside the box and truly caring about us customers!

This review is for their driving. I was on evans this afternoon and one of their drivers decided to just backup halfway in their garage and in turn blocked the entire right lane. I honked to let him know we were there and he stuck his hand out and flipped me off. Completely unprofessional as all he had to do was back up a bit more so he wasn't blocking entire lane. This company seems to lack professionalism.
