Got inquiries? Give us a ring! I was born in Lima, Peru. The lack of opportunities and financial strain, like for many others, brought me to California on December 27, 1999.
I was fortunate to learn English at UC Davis Extension Center, thanks to my family’s encouragement. After that, I pursued web design.
In 2001, I transitioned to the plumbing field. I became part of the Sacramento Hispanic Chamber of Commerce in 2007. A year later, I took on the role of SACHCC Ambassador. It provided me the opportunity to network with other entrepreneurs and contribute to my community.
I served as a mentor for at-risk youth at Hiram Johnson High School and represented the SACHCC at various community meetings and events. I discovered that being a successful business owner requires effective communication.
My interests include watching films, indulging in BBQ, and following soccer matches. I am passionate about water and energy efficiency, salsa dancing, and I dream of creating a resort in Peru to welcome all my California friends!

Recommended Customer Reviews

Antonio is amazing. He installed a clean out for me for far less than any other place in town. Best of all he was honest and didn't try to upsell me on any additional work. He knows his stuff - even on a 90 year old craftsman. Good ole fashioned honest service - the way it should be. Thanks Antonio!

Antonio is a plumbing genius. He will review the situation and tell you what you need. He doesn't ""sell"" you on unnecessary work.
I would definitely recommend the Pocket Plunger.

Outstanding Service! Our go to plumber for any future plumbing needs!

Antonio was early, and went right to work on my clogged up landscape drain. He got that drain as cleared out as possible. I appreciate his hard work, honesty, and skill. He is someone I would recommend and use again myself.
Thanks Antonio

I got a washer and dryer but I needed to change the hookups. It was a little to difficult of a job for me to do on my own so I called the Pocket Plunger. He came out and did a great job. Very good work and price.

Antonio, aka ""The Pocket Plunger"" is a true pro. He is available for emergency calls. floods, etc. I even reached him once when he was out of the country. I told him what was going on and he told me not to wait for him to get back as I'd planned to do, but to call another plumber immediately. As it turns out, his ""telephone diagnostic"" was right on the mark. Keep a little extra money in your pocket, by calling The Pocket Plunger.

Antonio was fast and helpful.
Good work and a super nice guy.
I have found my plumber!

I don't normally write that many reviews for Yelp, but I had such a great experience with The Pocket Plunger (Antonio) that I felt obligated to. Reliable, trustworthy, with very reasonable prices. He is definitely my new go-to plumber in the Sacramento area. I'm so glad I called him!
It was the day after Thanksgiving and BOTH toilets were clogged.... not knowing what to do we called a number of plumbers on Yelp. Many were not working, but lucky for us Antonio was available.
We called in the morning and he said he could be here between 12 and 1PM. I expected him to be late since that seems to be the norm with a lot of these service guys, but he was here as promised. On top of that, he fixed the clog within 30 minutes and charged us a very reasonable price.
Overall a great experience AND he was a very friendly guy.

From other testimonials I decided to hire The Pocket Plunger, (Antonio) for three separate plumbing jobs in and around my house. Antonio has been my plumber ever since.
1. The first project was a broken hot/cold handle for the bathtub. I started noticing the handle was becoming loose and finally it broke. This job made me the most nervous because I thought I would have to replace the entire bathtub faucet, but he was able to fix it without replacing the entire unit and it has worked great ever since. That was over 3 years ago now.
2. The second job was an outside sprinkler pipe that was leaking. I didn't even think at first that he could do outside jobs as well, but when I told him what was going on he immediately came over in the extreme outside heat and got to work.
3. The third job was a maintenance flush for my hot water tank. I had recently found out that it is a good idea to flush your water tank to extend the life of the tank. Basically you drain the tank and flush it with fresh water to clean all the minerals that are at the bottom of the tank. What impressed me the most on this job was the fact that Antonio showed me exactly what he was doing so that I could do it myself in the future.
Nothing But Positives: Promptness, extremely fair prices, and professionalism! Thank you Antonio for being The Best Pocket Plunger! I really appreciate your work. P.S. I have also referred him to my sister and brother and they have also loved his work.

Excellent service! My garbage disposal stopped working and appeared to have a leak, so I called several companies to get an estimate for having a new unit installed. I was given an estimate over the phone and ""The Pocket Plunger"" easily had the best rate. Antonio, the owner of the company, even mentioned that he may be able to fix my old disposal without replacing it. I scheduled an appointment for a few hours later that day and Antonio arrived right on time, even a few minutes early. As it turns out my garbage disposal did need to be replaced, but he was able to finish the job in no time. Professional, friendly, and reliable service! I will definitely be using The Pocket Plunger for all of my future plumbing needs. Thanks Antonio!
