These guys are the best!
After detecting we had black water under our house, Steve Waters, the owner, put us in touch with ARC water restoration.
Once the water had been removed Rick from S Waters Plumbing replaced the damaged pipe for us and then he and Brandon reversed our sump pump pipe to our back drain.
These guys are professional, on time and the work is completed with a smile and a cheerful disposition. The truly care about their customers
They are our go-to plumber in Novato!

Yesterday (Wednesday) I learned from a contractor working in the crawl space below the house that there was a leak in a water supply pipe in the crawl space below the kitchen. Around 2 p.m. I called my heating contractor, who referred me to S. Waters Plumbing. I called their office, and was greeted by a helpful lady. She was able to arrange a very welcome an appointment for today (Thursday) between 9 and 10 a.m.

Rick arrived around 8:50 this morning. After inspecting the leak, he said he could repair it in a short time, which he proceeded to do. He also explained a likely problem that resulted in the leak, and said that the copper water supply pipes below the house appear to be in good shape. Rick was friendly, cheerful, and professional. He performed the work in a very reasonable time, also provided a quote for another job I am considering, and presented me with an invoice for a very fair price. I asked him about his company, and he said that he has around 20 years with the firm, a colleague has 25 years, and a third 15 years, which are quite impressive numbers.

I was extremely pleased with the service provided by S. Waters Plumbing and will not hesitate to call them in event of future problems.

Wow, are these guys fast! Called on a rainy Friday for a broken water heater line. They sent someone in about 50 minutes. I requested the plumber use copper pipes. He didn't argue about it and went out to the store and bought some, came right back, and installed them. Seemed like he did about 30 minutes of work. Charged a fair price and was very professional. I'll be using them again!

I had a sudden leak from my hot water tank and based on past reviews from this site I decided to give them a call. They responded within 2 hours, conducted the trouble shooting, gave me an estimate to replace the hot water tank, and scheduled the job for the next day. They arrived as planned and replaced the hot water tank within 2 hours. Overall, I am very happy with the customer service and would highly recommend them to anyone who needs plumbing help in the Marin county area.

This story may be hard to believe because it borders on the surrealistic.
Rick, the plumber, was prompt, polite and professional and quickly unclogged our garbage disposal. We were so pleased with his demeanor and courtesy (shoe covers, etc.) that immediately after he left, we called the office and spoke to Star, the very nice woman who answered the phone, to compliment Rick's service. Then we turned on the dishwasher and had a problem (suds pouring out of the door - had never happened before). Naturally, we called back right away and asked if Rick could quickly return, since he couldn't have been more than minutes away. Star said of course; she'd try to reach him right away. A few minutes later, the owner, Steve, called, very defensive, and almost immediately began verbally abusing my wife, saying this wasn't his problem, that Rick wasn't working that day (obviously not true) and we should call our appliance repairman. My wife was dumbfounded. She handed me the phone and I said, I'm confused... you're not sending Rick back to check this (apparently related) issue? He said, in a sarcastic, condescending tone, ""Yes, you obviously are confused. Maybe if I break it down more slowly, you'll understand."" I was flabbergasted. I attempted to carry on a calm conversation to understand his logic in rejecting our assumption that the two plumbing issues seemed more than coincidental. Steve became more agitated, sarcastic and condescending. I politely asked him to stop speaking to me like I was a child, and he (literally) yelled, ""F--- you! Stop payment on your g-----m check! I don't care."" And hung up. Unfathomable. Pity, because we would be happy to use Rick's services again but clearly will not be rewarding the owner's outrageous behavior. Strangely, on the surface, it's not easy to find anything but glowing reviews about this company online - and based on Star and Rick, that's understandable. But do a little digging and you'll find similar stories out there, including one woman who writes that Steve called her a ""c--t."" Steve has a serious anger problem.

Totally agree with the other reviewers. Recently had to replace the shower body in the master bathroom. I was referred to Waters. They came right away and actually had to break in to the marble to get to the shower body and replace it. They did such a good job at fixing it back up again we couldn't even tell it was replaced. They were fast, efficient, and CLEAN, and very easy to deal with. Prices I think are comparable but at least they didn't ""soak"" me for other repairs. We'd use them again for sure if a need should arise.

Holy cow! Called and Brandon was out within 30 minutes of calling and was finished clearing up a clog for our washer drain in less than another 30 minutes. Husband was very impressed and said we would hire them again in a heartbeat! Very reasonable, as well. Thank you!

Excellent, fast and reliable service all at a very fair price. These guys came out within 2 hours of me calling (ahead of schedule) and got the job done right. Brandon was an excellent and knowledgable plumber.

S Waters Plumbing is THE best! After wrangling with our home owner's warranty company for 8 days to get a water heater fixed we finally called S Waters Plumbing. Explaining the problem, they had someone at our house the next morning. Craig, plumber extraordinaire came out, assessed the situation and spent the day replacing the old water heater with a new one. We are more than pleased, not only of course, to finally have hot water, but because of the exemplary and compassionate service S Waters provided. Craig was kind, knowlegeable and skilled. He came at 8:30AM and did not leave until the job was finished at 6PM.
If you want skilled, great local plumbing service call S Waters... and ask for Craig!
