Valley Plumbing Co

If you are in the need for a good quality plumber in the Lamorinda/Walnut Creek area, you're just not going to do better than Kevin at Valley Plumbing. I use him, my friends and family use him and wouldn't use anyone else...I've had a few issues with apartments or houses over the years and Kevin is always a friendly guy who does a great job.

I like to show support when I have a good experience with and this one is long overdo....

We stopped up the kitchen sink with potato peelings on a Saturday night. My wife absolutely needed to use the kitchen on Sunday to prepare for a big party the next day. Called Valley on Sunday morning, based on the good reviews in yelp, and Kevin answered the phone. Said he could come over later that day and was true to his word. I also had him install a new disposal to replace the junk that was in there. Did a great job. And the price was totally reasonable. One minor quibble. He told me he would phone me back in a few minutes to let me know what time he would be coming over. But when he didn't call after a couple of hours, I had to phone him when I started getting nervous that he might be flaking on me. Nevertheless, he told me he was on his way and sure enough, he arrived soon thereafter. Would definitely call him again.

I just moved into a new house and for 3 nights the toilet made a dripping sound that was impossible for me to figure out and the sound was keeping me awake. After reading about him here, I called Kevin at 2:30 pm yesterday, explained the noise, and he came over at 3 pm to replace a bad washer. The toilet was fixed by 3:15 and quiet. I am so impressed. As a new homeowner, I'd always called landlords for fixes before. Now Kevin is our go-to plumber.

Thanks fellow Yelpers...again the great reviews helped me find a GREAT Plumber on the quick. As it has been said before Kevin is AWESOME...he came out immediately late on a Friday afternoon. Why does everything break late on Fridays???? Life would be so easy if every contractor was like Kevin.

It's all true. Kevin answers the phone, shows up on time and is fairly priced. I called him late on a Friday night and he was there early on a Saturday morning. (No weekend or ""emergency"" surcharges) He was in and out of our place quickly and efficiently and the job was done right.

I will definitely be calling him for any future plumbing needs I may have and would recommend you do the same!

I live in San Jose, and was visiting my elderly parents in Walnut Creek when I discovered a plumbing emergency--just after 5 PM. I went straight to Yelp to find a plumber, and the first company I called quoted me $230 for an emergency after hours call--$180 if I waited until the next day. So I called Kevin at Valley Plumbing, who said he could be there in about 20 minutes since he was already on the road leaving San Ramon, and the charge would be $120. He and Charlie were there very quickly, and for the price of the visit fixed my problem, and also checked out two other issues. I was delighted.

As a side benefit, since I was so impressed with Kevin's work, I asked him if he knew other tradesmen, since I sometimes need help on other projects for my parents. Kevin said I could call him any time, that he knew electricians, gardeners, tiles installers, etc. Later that evening I realized that the leaky toilet he had fixed had caused a carpet issue that needed to be dealt with immediately, so I called Kevin, thinking I would reach his voice mail. Not only did he answer, but he called a colleague for me at home, told him my problem, and I was able to get someone out at about 10 PM! If that's not service, I don't know what is!

I recommend Kevin unreservedly. I owe him one.

I picked Kevin over the other local plumbers because of his yelp reviews and the fact that he wouldn't charge a crawl-under fee to look at the pipes under my house. The estimate was $120 because he thought he'd be able to just go under and take care of the leak. I have a low crawl space and it was in a difficult space, so it ended up taking a lot longer (almost 4 hours). He only charged me for 3, and plus $75 for parts I ended up paying $435.

No idea how good of a job he did - I won't be crawling under my house to find out, but I'll know if it's fixed on my next water bill. I trust he did a good job - seemed knowledgeable and wanted to get it done right instead of done fast, which I appreciate.

I needed a plumber for a couple of minor things - kitchen faucet that wasn't delivering hot water (turns out that a piece of old rubber washer had broken off and clogged the line), and a leaky valve leading to the washing machine. I checked Yelp to see what was being said about the local plumbers, and based on the reviews, I chose this one.

True to what others said, Kevin answers the phone himself. We made an appointment for the following day, and Kevin called 10 minutes after the appointed time to let me know he was running late. He showed up shortly thereafter, and gets points for having the courtesy to call to let me know he was running late.

He & his assistant, Charlie, assessed the problems, went to the plumbing supply store to get the needed parts, fixed the problems, and were done about an hour after they first arrived. Kevin gave me a discount for paying cash - he doesn't take credit cards, but will accept checks.

A few days later, the hot water pressure was again way down. I called Kevin, and he was out the next day to remove another piece of the broken washer that had found its way to clog the line. No charge for the follow-up call.

I suspect the broken washer in my faucet was due to poor work done by another company years earlier, and won't be using them in the future. I don't like finding service people to fix things around the house - you never know who you can trust to do a quality job, or who's ripping you off on the price of parts. While I didn't get a breakdown of the parts costs, the overall job was done for a reasonable amount, and Kevin came back at no charge when needed. I won't hesitate to call him again, should I need a plumber.

Thanks everyone for this one. I checked yelp for best plumber near Walnut Creek and this was one of them, called and Kevin came over in about and hour and fixed my problem. I had a clogged sink, no biggie but it had cost more last time. I live in an old house and am always facing some plumbing problem I will definately call Kevin next time too.

I needed to have a new water heater installed quickly, cheaply, and on the weekend. Valley returned my phone call within 15 minutes, gave me an excellent quote, and was finished installing the heater 2 hours later. Nice guys, too!
