I recently had a sewage ejector pump fail that caused a major backup at my home in Boulder Creek that required quick action to resolve.
Jim was quick to respond, and correctly identified the root cause of my problem. Jim worked with me to find a work address the overflow issue and was able to replace the ejector pump in less than 24 hours from when I called him.
Not only did Jim fix my problem quickly, he was honest on time and materials.

I needed a plumber right away and he came out within the hour!! Did good work which is guaranteed. Made good suggestions for replacement parts and explained what he was doing. Worked quickly. Good prices too I recommend The Plumber

We had a rough time making the connection, I think, because Jim does great work and is an honest man, and people who are both of those things are very much in demand, but once we got him in, he was quiet, clean, methodical, and very respectful. I will look forward to hiring him for future jobs. I'm thrilled with him, no joke, and he's a Real San Lorenzo Valley Character, which I consider to be a massive bonus. Thrilled with his rate, his guarantee, and how pleasant he is to have around.

Just moving into Lompico on Saturday and all drains were plugged. The HoneyBucket Man said we were at least a year away from needing that so try snaking it.

I called 18 different plumbers in the area in the first 2 hours of the day 0800-1000 (90% claimed to be open Saturday, Emergency or 24 hour service). Only one answered the phone - but I would assume they would be busy so didn't pay any attention to that at first. The one that answered said ""yes we have 24 hour and emergency service what do you need?"" When I said we need to have my line snaked he said he needed to check the technician schedule. After tapping on a keyboard for a few seconds he says, ""Sorry my technicians are all on a commercial project for the next 2 weeks!"" What the ?!?! How can you offer emergency 14 day service? Didn't offer any suggestions or referrals.

Next call was to ""The Plumber""! I left a message and within about 15 minutes Jim called back and said he would come this afternoon - ""not sure what time but I'll be there today."" He called and said he'd finished up and would be here within the hour. He was!!! He knocked it out and price was reasonable enough for weekend emergency service. He took the time to explain what he found and how we can correct it in the future. He gave us his 30 day guarantee and was very polite and professional.

I couldn't be happier with his service! Looks like I've found my plumber for future needs . . . THE PLUMBER!

James came out to fix our water heater. Turned out we might have to replace the whole unit since it's still under warranty. He talked over all of our options, offered advice, clearly had a huge amount of experience and knowledge AND at the end of the day he didn't even charge us for his time. We will definitely call James when it comes time for installation.

Called early am, they answered and scheduled the only time that worked for me.

Fixed everything in moments and I was very happy! Thank you!!

I've worked with him twice, and been more than pleased both times. He returns calls, schedules appointments, keeps them. He does good work at affordable rates, clearly explaining what needs to be done and how he's going to do it. He's polite, and his work is neat and tidy. I am so glad to do business with him!

I'm not the kind of person who normally writes Yelp reviews, but I had to in this case. The short story: I've been paying way too much to the ""rooter"" services to take care of plumbing issues and after a particularly huge bill for something that should have taken little time and effort I gave up on being ripped off and searched for the Real Deal.

I found it in The Plumber.

It's just a handful of guys from Boulder Creek, but they're the guys you want--experienced, responsive, and reasonably priced. We had a leak under our driveway that the rooter guys said would cost *thousands* to deal with. James and Steve came over, dealt with the problem in a couple of hours, and charged us well under a thousand for the work. While on the job we pointed out a couple of other issues we wanted to deal with--redoing the shutoff valve to the house and some leaking faucets--and within a week they were back, did what needed doing, and charged us a perfectly reasonable price.

These guys don't have the fancy painted trucks, the little blue booties, the clipboards, or the ""loyalty plans""--the stuff that looks good, but is designed to drain your wallet as well as your pipes. Instead, they offer competent service. What more could you ask for?
