Simply Plumbing and Rooter

Dave C.

I started a bathroom remodel on an older home in Fremont and had no idea how bad the plumbing was. After ripping out the old vanity and toilet, I found very corroded galvanized pipes. I knew the repairs were way beyond my skill set, so I did a local search for a plumber. Out of five I called that day, only one returned my call. Simply plumbing came by the next day to give an estimate. I quickly learned that the Bay Area is slammed right now for this type of work. Carlos, the owner, ran down all the repairs that needed to be done. He gave me his quote and told me he could come by in two days to do the job. We set up the appointment and he showed up two days later ready to go. Since neither of us knew what type of pipes were behind the wall, Carlos discovered copper pipes. This was excellent news. He only would have to replace the corroded galvanized fittings. He said that would save me a lot of money. I let him do his work and checked in a few times. He worked hard that day and did an excellent job. He showed me each step of the way what he was replacing, which was great. When he was all done, he did a pressure test on the lines and showed a significant improvement. All the badly corroded fittings were replaced and new lines installed. Carlos ended up taking off $300 from the original estimate, which was not expected. It's usually the other way around when someone does a repair job like this. I really appreciate how honest Carlos was and will certainly use him again for the rest of my projects. If you're looking for a good plumber, you can't go wrong with this company. I'm so glad I called him that day.

Extra points for same day service!! What more can I say? We several very young grandchildren staying with us and an out of commission toilet would have been a disaster.

I needed a plumber to come out same day, as my drains were not draining properly. I called and spoke to Carlos who assured me he could come out that day. He asked me what the problem was, and said over the phone it sounded like a clog.

Once he arrived, he checked his shoes to make sure he had nothing on them before stepping on the carpet, which I greatly appreciated! He verified for himself that the drains weren't draining properly, told me what he was going to do, quoted me a price, and immediately got to work. He got up on the roof (as there was no clean out available) and began to snake the line. He was able to clear some roots out of the line, and fixed the problem! His work is guaranteed for 30 days, which is also a plus!

Four stars because he was kind, courteous, was able to come out same day, and had very fair pricing! One star off as he was almost an hour late without a phone call, but I understand in the plumbing business, you never know how long any given problem will actually take. He is definitely worth calling if you want someone who is fair, honest, and trustworthy!

He is the man and really professional in his job. Very reasonable estimates and cleanliness in work. I took help from Simpli plumbing in installing new outlets/disposals and misc tasks.

I want to thank Carlos for clearing out our clog. He came out Saturday, and instead of pointing out we didn't have a cleanout, he tried clearing it from one of our toilets. It didn't work unfortunately. Fast forward to Monday, he gave a reasonable quote for a new cleanout, and cleared the roots in the mainline. I would definitely consider using them again in the future.

Called for a clogged main sewer line at 9:30 p.m. Carlos showed up when he said he would, and charged his original quote even though the blockage took longer to clear than anticipated. Seems like a nice guy too.

Perfecto F.

was prompt in coming to the house as he had scheduled, very professional, fixed my toilet sink and kitchen sink which were both clogged and leaking, very efficiently in less than an hour. He charged me lower than what I expected to pay for the job. Excellent and very professional.

Unfortunately my down stair bathroom was clogged really bad and Carlos came to rescue. He cleared the clog, and clean up the place and fixed one leaking connector with no extra charge. Thank you very much!

I have been using Carlos as my plumber for two years. Carlos really knows what he is doing. His rate is very reasonable and lower than other companies that I have called. I Called him this Easter Saturday, he still picked up his phone and came at the time he promised. He fixed my sewer plug, tested a few times and even cleaned my bathroom floor when he finished his job. Great service, honest person and great rate. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a plumber.
