Recommended Customer Reviews

Francisco is wonderful!
At 5:30pm on a Thursday we noticed that the water in the shower was starting to back up. We tried to fix it ourselves but by 6:30pm nothing was working. I found another plumbing company that had hundreds of reviews, and called twice but didn't get a call back. I then called Francisco, he picked up immediately and said he could be at my house in an hour. He arrived in an hour and quickly evaluated the situation. He was able to clean out our sewage line in less than an hour. Afterwards he asked if we had any other plumbing issues we wanted him to look at or ask questions about since he was here. He spent another 30 minutes just answering questions and giving us home improvement advice.
If we ever need plumbing work, we'll definitely be calling Francisco again.

Francisco is one of the most amazing people you'll ever meet. He's not only an extremely knowledgeable and capable expert in his trade, he is one of the most honest, hard-working, kind person I've ever met.
We bought our house recently and made a lot of updates to the house. Our plumbing was in really bad shape, and he went above and beyond in his work. BY FAR, the BEST we worked with in all our updates. And, completely and totally exceeded expectations.

I've had Francisco install a seismic shutoff on my gas line as well as fix a broken water line that was in a difficult location to fix. Both times I was very happy with his prompt & professionals service. With my broken line, especially. I had an irrigation line set within brick and I was worried it would be a big job. Francisco was very careful and had it fixed in short order.

I called Tremors Plumbing around 8:30 pm with a clogged sewer main. Francisco was the only plumber willing to get up on the roof and arrived about 9:30 pm. He (and his helper) got right to work. Francisco explained what he was doing, and gave it his best for 2 hours. Around 11:30 pm, the clog won. He is diligent, dedicated, and a man of his word. He would not accept payment because the clog didn't clear. I am having him come back to put in a clean out. This story isn't over, yet.

Francisco is AHmazing!!! His experience is sooo much more than just Plumbing. You would have to meet him and see how he works his craft to believe it! To each is own personal experience...i have nothing but words of reassurance that Francisco will get the work done. He explains literally everything he is doing IN DETAIL and how the solution to the problem(s) all fall into place...as it should. Taking pride in his what he does is 100%
Thank you, Francisco!...we will see each other again -am sure of it!

Emergency service for a broken shower valve. I called Francisco in the morning. He got here quickly, made a plan, went out for required parts and had it all done by the afternoon. Also cleaned up the work area nicely. I recommend Tremors Plumbing.

I called 15 plumbers for a Sunday night emergency service. The problem was cut copper pipe (my fault). With the water shut off it would have been a hellacious Monday for the family. Francisco arrived at the time he said he would and fixed the problem. It was a bit on the costly side but the work was excellent. Francisco and his company will NOW be our ""go to"" plumber for all our needs. I would strongly recommend him for all your plumbing needs!
I cannot say enough good things.

Fast, efficient and effective. Francisco charged a very reasonable rate for cleaning out a blocked pipe behind our kitchen sink. Because it took less time then the quoted price, he asked what else needed work in the house. Francisco quickly fixed two other pesky items (problematic toilet and a leaky external faucet) at no additional cost. Highly recommended!

Francisco is great, great, great! He is very professional and goes out of his way to please his customers. He knows his stuff and is always reliable. I highly suggest hiring him for all of your plumbing needs.

He came (when no one else would, after i stepped in an unexpected puddle Friday morning and started calling local plumbers with perfect yelp records)
He saw (that our old water heater had finally gone to meet its maker)
He conquered (he installed a new heater the same day, and fixed some misbehaving toilets while he was at it)
