These guys were amazing. A very knowledgeable and friendly staff. They took their time to diagnose our issue. We thought we had a water leak due to some floor buckling in our kitchen but in the end it did not end up to be a plumbing problem. They didn’t even charge us any service fees. We will be going back to them for any future plumbing issues. Thank you One Shot Plumbing !!

Milton and Frank were very polite, professional, and extremely helpful. They were able to identify a plumbing issue that no other plumber had been able to find and provided very reasonable pricing. I highly recommend One Shot and will definitely use them again. Thank you! 🙏🙏

Edward and angel did an excellent job with my kitchen plumbing. He was professional, knowledgeable, punctual, and very thorough. He quickly identified the problem, explained everything clearly, and completed the repair efficiently and neatly. The kitchen was left clean, and everything is working perfectly now. I really appreciate Edward’s quality work, honesty, and professionalism. I highly recommend him for any plumbing needs!

David and Blake did a great job. They were knowledgeable, professional, and were able to unclog our kitchen drain.
What surprised us was what they found afterward. Our home is less than four years old, and we’ve always been careful about what goes down the drain. During the camera inspection, David noticed the plumbing looked unusually aged, crusty, and cracked for such a new home. They also found a belly in the drain line, which likely explains why it clogged so easily.
Overall, I’m very satisfied with their service and appreciated how clearly they explained what they found.
Details: Yes, repair is urgent • Only one drain has issues • Clogging • Slow draining • Townhouse

I had a waterline burst under my bathroom sink and didn't know what to do so I got on the Thumbtack app and they suggested a company called One Shot plumbing and Drains. They came over bright and early the next day at 8am as was promised when I made the appointment. Steve and Edward were so knowledgeable when it comes to plumbing. They explain everything that needs to be done thoroughly. They are both very friendly and you can see they enjoy their job. Their pricing is very fair and competitive and they follow through on the warranty on their work. I had an issue with a brand new toilet that they installed. The issue was a manufacturing problem but they were able to fix it. I am very pleased with their work and have a new plumbing company that i can depend on. Christian the owner has always been very helpful when i need an appointment or have a question. If you need a good plumber definitely call this company. You will not be disappointed 😊

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Our technician evaluates the problem and confirms the scope and price on site before work begins. Pricing depends on the repair needed, access, parts, and site conditions. If you are asking about a special offer, mention it when you contact us so we can confirm eligibility and explain what is included and what would cost extra. You can review your options before authorizing the work.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Send us a short description of the problem, your city, and your preferred service day. Photos of the affected fixture or visible issue can help us prepare. We will confirm your property address and an available appointment window. On site, the technician inspects the issue, explains the recommended options, and confirms pricing before you approve the work.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
My training started early on as the kid holding the flashlight — the “gopher” grabbing tools, running parts, cleaning up, and paying attention to the experienced plumbers around me. I learned the trade from the ground up, watching seasoned professionals work long hours to make sure families had hot water, working gas, heat, and properly functioning sewer systems.
That early exposure shaped my respect for plumbing. I saw firsthand that this work isn’t just about pipes it’s about responsibility, safety, and protecting someone’s home.
As a third-generation plumber who also married into a plumbing family, this trade has been part of my life for years. What started as being the gopher turned into hands-on experience, ongoing training, and a deep understanding of code compliance, safety standards, and craftsmanship.
This isn’t just a job to me. It’s how I serve my community. When someone calls because their home isn’t functioning properly, stepping in and restoring comfort isn’t just a service it’s something I take pride in.
