SouthBay Plumbers

jas k.

they are fast, prompt and professional. they were able to give me a slot the day I called. vincent and juan were fantastic. they replaced with a new badger garbage disposal. the only reason i gave them 4 stars is that they are kinda expensive....but they delver well.

I've had plumbing work done earlier this year at a different house and the experience was very unpleasant. It took about six different plumbers before one would even show up. It felt like I was going to have to beg someone to take my money. That being my previous experience, I wasn't looking forward to calling another one to fix a couple of faucet leaks in my house. I ended up getting a phone call from South Bay Plumbers through an inquiry on Redbeacon. They were able to make an appointment for me the following day, which I was perfectly ok with since it was not an emergency. Vincent showed up in the window I was quoted on the phone the previous day. He was polite and showed tremendous respect for my home when he entered. I had two leak from two different faucets in the house. The first one he fixed in about 5 minutes. The second one he had fixed in just under an hour. All of this was done without having to leave to go get any parts. Previous experiences had me set up and a big hassle but nothing of that sort occurred with South Bay Plumbing. When it came time to pay the bill, I was surprised. He didn't charge me for the easy leak. For less than a hundred dollars, I got two leaks fixed and what I believe to be excellent service. South Bay Plumbing will be my first call for any future plumbing needs. I would recommend them to anyone.

Very nice work done by Vincent and Rolando. We had a major sewer blockage but our house is pretty old and had no cleanout. They came out on a Sunday and assisted to install the cleanout and remove the blockage within half a day. Thank you very much.

My dad calls me up around noon on Saturday and tells me that he has blue water flowing up from his downstairs shower drain. So I grab some hand tools, a plunger and a toilet snake and head on over. When to get there, I can see that the blue soapy water from his washing machine is back flowing into his shower due to a clog in the main line. My three foot toilet snake is not going to do the trick.

I get on Yelp and start dailing. After getting 6 or 7 answering machines of plumbing operations that are supposedly open on Saturday, I get a hold of a lady at Southbay Plumbers. She says she can get a tech out there in the next hour or so. My dad and I go to Peet's and grab a cup of coffee. Shortly after we get back, Vincent shows up in a truck. We showed Vincent where the various clean outs are located and he chose to use the one near the kitchen. He grabbed some gear and started rooting away. Soon, he tells us he thinks he's got the main unclogged so we run the washer on rinse for a few minutes, no problems, everything looks good. While Vincent goes to his truck to write up the bill, I tell my Dad what I think it will be for a Saturday service call. Vincent returns with a bill that's less than half of my estimate. We talk for a few minutes, I find out that Southbay is a small family operation that also does roofing. I'm going to have Vincent come out next week and give me an estimate to run a Pex / copper repipe at my house. The frequency with which I have to remove chunks of corrosion out of my shower head at home makes me think that the old galvanized pipes are about to blow. Most likely, Southbay Plumbers will be repiping my house In the next week or two.

Very happy with SB Plumbers. Showed up on time, did good work at a fair price. I'll use them again.

Second plumber in two weeks, two different problems. Did not feel comfortable calling back the first plumber. So contacted South Bay Plumbers. They referred me to the manufacturer to get the parts since it was under warranty and then fit us in to come and replace the parts as soon as they arrived. We felt like we got great service and will definetly call them back in the future if needed. Would also recommend then for anyone looking for an honest plumber.

I am writing an update review. Received a phone call from the this business again, long story short, we had a miscommunication which let to me writing an initial poor review. Things got worked out and they agreed to come out on 10/16/14 to the condo. I was not there to witness the work due to my work schedule. I inspected the work the following day. As promised they took care of the drainage pipe leak underneath the garage and it was professionally done. Also, as promised they locked up the condo for me. Plus, the charge for the work was very reasonable. Thanks again to Southbay Plumbers. A+++

A+++!

In the middle of the night, we heard a mysterious ""glub glub"" from our bathrooms. First thing in the morning, I tried calling the 2-3 plumbers we've used before and had to leave voicemail messages.

I called South Bay at 9am and the office picked up right away. I explained my problem and she asked if 12-2 arrival time would be OK. I said yes! Tony arrived right on time and took a good look. He told me what he could do, I approved, and he did it. He explained ways we could get around this problem in the future, and he even fixed something in the master shower to improve the water flow; that wasn't even one of the problems I had mentioned.

He did all this for a very reasonable price, and was finished by 2pm. And he was courteous and friendly while working quickly and efficiently.

I still haven't heard back from the other plumbers!

I know who to call first next time. Thanks, SouthBay Plumbers!

We had a water main break on a Friday. Called a handful of plumbers in San Jose to get it fixed. The earliest anyone would come out to even give an estimate was on Monday. That's at least 3-4 days with no water! The last call I made was to Tommy at SouthBay Plumbers. He came out Friday late afternoon when many would be heading home for the weekend. Replaced the water line from the curb to my house. By Saturday afternoon we had our water restored.


Great job Tommy and crew!

Why do plumbing issues always happen on a weekend -- especially when you have houseguests! I was preparing breakfast and apparently placed too much ""stuff"" in the garbage disposal and not enough water. I ended up with both sides of my kitchen sink filled with standing water. My husband called South Bay Plumbers around 8:15 this morning and Tommy was at our house at 9:00. He had given us a two hour window between 9:00 and 11:00 since he was working us in inbetween other jobs. Tommy was knowledgable, professional and even gave me a couple ""do's and don't"" when using my garbage disposal. We knew we had other plumbing issues in our house but none that required immediate attention. We are glad we had not hired anyone else because Tommy will be our ""go to plumber"" from now on. It is a pleasure to recommend him. We also found his fees to be very fair and reasonable.
