Universal Plumbing

We have used Universal Plumbing over the last few years for many different plumbing jobs at two older duplexes in North Park. Both Paul & Tom are very knowledgeable, professional, and it's a pleasure dealing with both of them. I particularly like that they do text messaging such that I know when they are 30 minutes out, can send pictures, etc.. It makes my job of being the ""stuckee"" for apartment maintenance much easier. I'm a retired engineer and I really enjoy the technical work these guys do. They know the code, everything is tight, gas and water lines are properly dressed, and there is no mess left. The fact that they are responsive and reasonably priced is just icing on the cake. Thank you Paul and Tom.

Paul was quick to respond, answer my questions, and provide a quote. Tom was dispatched the next day. We were very happy with Tom's work and really appreciated his attention to detail and his thoroughness in explaining what was being done and why.

Tom came out on time, he is a knowledgeable and pleasant person, he diagnosed all problems (water leak, defect water tank) very quickly and did the repairs not only fast, but also well. The charge was reasonable, which is nowadays a problem with a lot of contractors. I will definitively call Universal Plumbing when I have a problem again, and will ask for Tom to do the job, if possible.

We had a dripping shower/tub faucet. Took a picture of it and sent it to Paul. Set up appointment to replace the cartridge. Done quickly and no more leaks.

I contacted Paul Blackard (owner) of Universal Plumbing (who came highly recommended by a good friend who has used Universal for all of her plumbing work) to get a second opinion on a sewer back-up problem in our house. The first plumber had told me that there was a dip in the sewer line and that the only way to fix it would be to tear out the slab and install a new sewer line, with a huge price tag and major demolition work. This didn't sound right and seemed drastic, as we have lived in our house for over 7 years and never had a problem before.

Paul came out to our house this past weekend, looked at the issue, and told me that the problem could probably be fixed by jetting the lines to clear out the build-up. He was surprised that the previous plumber never mentioned this solution. He told me that we should have a video camera sent into the line to show the before-and-after-jetting-work. Although there is a slight dip in the sewer line, it was not necessary to replace the line, and we had the jetting work done and the problem is solved. I very much appreciate his honesty and professionalism, and give Universal Plumbing my highest recommendations.

These guys are by far the best! They had my sink up and running in less than 1 hour and their work is guaranteed. I will not use anyone else. I highly recommend them.

I took advantage of a phone number listed on a local site and found Paul B. He was great!! He was punctual, efficient, helpful above and beyond my expectations, AND the price was so reasonable. I just found my new favorite plumber!!!!!

Great Service! Wally was smart, informative and performed all tasks exceptionally..... definitely knows his ""electricity."" Lot of electrical issues with this house, and he took care of us.
Thank you very much!!

Fast and efficient service. Just a clogged utility sink in our garage but he was great and informative. I'm always afraid of how expensive plumbing issues can be, but it wasn't too bad and I feel he was very honest. Will call again for future needs :)

Paul and Tom are awesome--professional, super helpful, and really nice to be around as a bonus. Moved into a new house and immediately needed help with a few leaks and so glad I called Universal Plumbing. They gave me advice on the best and most feasible way to reroute some plumbing. Then had fairly significant plumbing work done ($$$) during a kitchen renovation and they were great. . Very responsive and great to deal with. Thanks guys!
