Jason H. says, "Overall, great experience working with them! Reached out yesterday evening, booked next day. Nelson on their team was on time, had good communication and was professional. Unfortunately we were not able to clear my drain but wasn’t due to their efforts. They also did not charge us for the extra attempt and work they performed since the drain was not able to be cleared. Finding honest people are hard to come by nowadays. Would recommend giving them a try if you need plumbing related work done."See more

Sewer drain problems often start well before sewage backs up indoors. A drain specialist can often trace whether recurring clogs point to a deeper line issue, which helps homeowners avoid paying for the same short-term fix again.

Jennifer Luallin says, "Stephen Greco - Did a great job on my drains and explaining the process before starting the job. Before starting the job he gave me two different price points to choose from and explained the difference between the two prices. Stephen was punctual, polite, and listened to my concerns. I will definitely be using Ability Plumbing Service & Repair again. Tim Merrill - Also came out to work with Stephen, he did a great job and deserves just as much kudos. Tim was polite as well and listened to me. Both gentlemen are an asset to your company. Thank you both for your hard work!!! Jennifer Luallin"See more

Art M. says, "Bryan was the second to respond to my urgent need and was very efficient in following through after realizing that I was needing an emergent resolution to my plumbing issue. We had a 16 year old Rheem water heater that decided to finally die and developed a leak in the middle of the night that got worse and was flooding our garage. Bryan and I came to terms quickly and picked up the replacement water heater which I bought from Home Depot and was at my place in less than an hour. He was able to complete the job in about an hour or so and did an outstanding job. He has such a wonderful personality and I would highly recommend him without any reservation."See more

Kate C. says, "As a commercial contracting company, we often face unexpected challenges that require immediate attention. Recently, we encountered a last-minute issue at a job site for one of our valued clients. John Padilla Plumbing came through for us in a big way, responding to our call immediately and agreeing to come out on short notice--on a Saturday, no less. From the very first interaction, their communication was exemplary. We received an email with a picture of the technician, Anthony who would be arriving, which added a personal and professional touch. The technician Anthony called us while en route and again before leaving the site after the repair was completed, ensuring we were informed every step of the way. In our line of work, we collaborate with plumbing companies daily, and I can confidently say that John Padilla Plumbing stands out from the rest. The quality of their service, the professionalism of their team, and their ability to get the job done right--especially under tight deadlines--are second to none. If you're looking for top-notch service from a company that knows how to deliver, look no further than John Padilla Plumbing. They have earned our highest recommendation, and we will definitely be working with them again in the future."See more

Had a blocked sewer drain and Andy/team was quick to respond and schedule a same day appointment. Still contemplating long term fix but Andy has been helpful in evaluating and narrowing down options.

Isaak was very thorough and educating when helping me with my sewage drain line. It was completely backed up. Most other plumbers and companies simply snake a line, run water for 5-10 minutes, and then call it day. Others will upsell you before performing any sort of camera inspection. Isaak snaked my main sewer line and inspected his work before, during, and after. I highly recommend him and will use again if/when needed.
