Expert Drain Cleaning in South San Francisco, CA

12/5/25 - Handy Man Plumbing helped me identify a clog in my sewer line with a thorough inspection. They gave me a competitive quote for installing a house clean out and cleaning the sewer line. The installation was done quickly and avoided messing up the yard. Highly recommended. 12/16/25 - Update. I decided to have Handy Man Plumbing replace my very old sewer lines under my house. Their quote was the most competitive. They kept our place clean during their work, sealing off our rooms from dust and covering the floors. They were very thorough, replacing all old GI pipes and even some old ABS pipes. While the scope of work was for "horizontal" pipe replacement, they did their best to replace as many "vertical" pipes that they could without opening any drywall (shower drains, toilet flanges). They also helped me repair some bad water supply pipes the noticed while doing their work. They didn't try to upsell me on trying to replace all my water supply lines, and with these repairs, said it should be good for a while. In all of this, they did not charge any additional fees for the extra work they did (i.e. needing to dig under two foundation walls, doing extra repairs, or needing an extra day of work). Highly recommended.

Mr Arturo Lopez was fantastic. He arrived on time with pre-arrival notification and tracking available. Arturo was knowledgeable, neat and efficient. He took the time to show me the repair and explain why it was needed. This was a two step process with technician Denis Orellana first diagnosing the issues and providing a quote. Once I accepted the quote and scheduled the service, Arturo Lopez arrived to make the necessary repairs. 100% trustworthy service by a two really nice guys. Thank you Denis, Arturo, and Handy Plumbing Man!

Jerry and Brayen were great - explained the issues clearly and compared short term vs long term options for the pipes in our home. It is also very convenient that you can book online and we were able to book an appointment for the very next morning. Will definitely use them again

Alan came on time, introduced himself, and asked how he could help! After I explained the clogged drain line from the kitchen sink he asked to take a look. As he came inside the front door he put on cloth booties so as not to track in dirt or soil. And each time he went out he removed them and upon re- entering he put them back on! After looking he texted a job price and requested I approve the cost of repair, which I did. He brought in his tools and proceeded to promptly extract the material which was clogging the drain. He then made several tests to ensure adequate water flow down the drain, and to make sure the under the sink plumbing was not leaking. Success!!! Drain was flowing freely and no leaks were present. I was able to pay the agreed upon price by credit card on the spot and I immediately received an emailed receipt! Overall this was a very positive experience. I will not hesitate co use this service in the future if need arises!!!

Was referred to Peninsula Plumbing Solutions by a good friend of mine who just used them to fix her clog toilet on a Saturday. She was extremely impressed with them. Our garbage disposal stopped working so I call PPS on Tuesday afternoon sent them a video of my garbage disposal. Within minutes they had a quote for work to be done. They said someone could be out next day, what time would work best for me. Perfect communication both by phone and text message, took my needs for time of arrival into consideration and arrived on time next morning. Hector was polite, professional got right to work removing the old disposal and replacing it with my new Insinkerator Disposal. Nora at the office handled my payment over the phone by credit card, informed that there is a 90 day workmanship guarantee on all work performed by the company! They are a new company located in Redwood City but work in the East Bay Area as well, which is where I reside. I highly recommend PPS for your plumbing needs and will happily refer them to friends and family. Thank you PPS, Nora, Mari & Hector Outstanding Job!

Great experience with Peninsula Plumbing Solutions. I had a leak and Hector came out and fixed it right away. He was professional, quick, and explained what he was doing. Highly recommend.

On Xmas day, the hot water faucet handle on my kitchen sink fell off and created a geyser. I called several plumbing companies who gave high consultation fees. Most weren’t available until the next day. Fortunately, I found Advanced Plumbing and Drain. Tim answered the phone and scheduled me for the next day between 7-8. Alex kept me updated as to his arrival time. I opened the door to a very friendly happy plumber who put us at ease. He was professional and knowledgeable. Alex did a quick fix at a fair price so that we could celebrate Christmas that day.

We had an issue late Sunday afternoon with our kitchen sink. We called their service, and they arrived promptly early Monday morning. The technician was knowledgeable, courteous, and thorough. He explained the problem and showed us how to prevent future issues: avoid putting too much food in the garbage disposal, and run hot water with detergent once a week to help prevent clogs. I highly recommend this company!

I love this company! They are responsive, professional, and fairly priced. I’ve enjoyed working with Aaron on multiple projects—he is friendly, reliable, and takes the time to explain what he’s doing. After trying three different plumbing companies in SF that were more focused on selling me things than fixing problems, this was such a refreshing change! I finally have a go-to plumber I can trust!

Fabian & Oscar did a great job. They cleared a plugged drain line that another company failed at. They were efficient, professional, and cleaned up. I think Pro-Roto is a great company!

Issac came over to clear my clean out drain. Looks like eventually I’ll need to have the pipe out to the street replaced. So thankful for Issac explaining options. He is easy to work with. Great job!

Waldir at ProRoto did a great job managing 2 big project for us- water main from house to sidewalk box, with back flow valve and replacing the last of our galvanized pipes and cast iron sewer line under the house. They worked so hard, did a beautiful job and left the work areas like new. They were great to work with. I had gotten estimates from 3 plumbing companies. I highly recommend them. Ask for Waldir to manage the work!

Dickson and his team were so great to work with. We were caught in a bind with a water pipe leak - they were onsite within 30 minutes and quickly assessed the project and provided a quote. They were transparent with pricing and any possible additional work that could be required. The Dr. Drain team were incredibly professional, straightforward and no-nonsense. An absolute pleasure to work with and would highly recommend.

I got 3 bids. I am so glad I chose Dr Drain. They have fair pricing, and they are on-time, they explain the issue and gave a fair bid to fix it. They are courteous, helpful and fixed the my plumbing problem. I highly recommend them for all plumbing repairs. I will use them again.

Very professional and thorough folks. I called them for a same day emergency leak under the sink and they arrived within the hour. They diagnosed the issue and had everything ready in the van. After addressing the issue, Dandy also fixed the RO system installation that had led to the issue. I’d highly recommend them for all plumbing and RO water installation needs.

Drainbusters has been the go-to plumber for our condo building for years. Ray is always professional, quick to respond, and reasonably priced. When we recently had an issue connecting with the city water lines, he offered us multiple options to resolve and kept the work space in our garage tidy. Thanks again, Ray and team!

Thank you, Ray, for coming so quickly to fix the drain problems in our shower and at another time in our sinks. Thanks also for fixing a leaky pipe that caused our washing machine to flood the floor. With your immediate help we avoided a disaster!

We have had Ray and team come out a few times to help with plumbing issues within the past year - from a water heater replacement, leaking washer and dryer pipes that involved removing some drywall, and a major trench repair involving the city. Ray is very knowledgeable, thorough, and always provides updates. I highly recommend Ray's services!

I recently had a spot repair done on my underground drain line, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. Tal and he’s team quickly diagnosed the exact location of the problem and explained everything clearly before beginning any work. They handled the excavation, repaired the damaged section of pipe, and made sure all connections were secure and up to code. Tal crew worked efficiently, kept the area clean, and restored the ground once the repair was complete. The drain is now flowing perfectly with no backups or issues. Their professionalism, fair pricing, and quality workmanship really stood out.

When is the last time you had a plumber come out and diagnose your problem and not charge you? That just happened and I’m thrilled with the honesty and professionalism of Tal and his team. I’m very happy with their work and will be using them again!

We were on a bind and they came through. JK plumbing is a very responsible vernier. I have done business with JK for almost 20 years. I manage about 15 city own facilities and JK is being take care all my location. I will strong recommend this company for any plumbing need. Francisco Lira Impark Portfoluo Manager.

Exceptional service and an exceptional team!!! I lost hot water pressure and right away I knew something was wrong with my water heater. Since it was Sunday I had to email a few places and one of them was Wizard plumbing. Monday morning I got a few responses but Wizard plumbing was the quickest of them all and could dispatch someone urgently. Kevin arrived and identified that the water heater was leaking and needed to be replaced, after answering my many questions and making calls around to find the model I wanted. Shortly after Dino arrived and the pair not only replaced the water heater but also fabricated a custom pan to adhere to the current drain that was in place. They also replaced the leaky hot water valve as well as an automatic shut off valve. Throughout the whole time, they were curious, attentive, and thorough. They got the job done wonderfully and quickly within a few hours; this was exceptionally important as we have little kids. As they say, you get what you pay for and with Wizard plumbing, you get every Penny's worth. Don't just look for the cheapest but look for quality and Dino and Kevin are a great example of why that is the case. Thank you very much. A rockstar team for sure.

Made an appointment three days prior, they took down all of my information and asked me a bunch of questions. The morning of the appointment, I get a text message saying they do not service my area and have to cancel. Why didn’t you tell me that three days ago when I made the appointment and gave you my address? Waste of time.

I’ve lived in a house that was built in 1947 for 10 years. So I’ve had more than a few plumbers come through for various issues during that time. A termite inspector found a leak, so I panic-called the first result on Yelp (I don’t usually do that). Wizard Plumbing came through, assessed the situation, and gave me a number of options, each with associated costs. Not one to mess around with plumbing, I went with the most extensive & labor intensive option (and I’m glad I did; see pix). Out of all the plumbers I’ve done business with over the years, Wizard Plumbing proved to be — by far — the most honest, fair, competent, experienced and thorough. In fact, if I made a Venn diagram with all of those attributes for each of the plumbers I’ve done business with, Wizard would be the only one that made a perfect circle. They’ve definitely made a customer for life.

I recently had my garbage disposal replaced, and I couldn’t be happier with the service! The technician Saul and his coworker Carlos were punctual, professional, and very knowledgeable. They explained the process clearly, worked efficiently, and left everything clean and tidy when the job was done. The new disposal works perfectly, and the whole experience was stress-free. Highly recommend this service to anyone needing plumbing work—they truly know what they’re doing

I couldn't be happier with the work of Carlos Chavarria! From the very first moment, his communication was flawless: he was very flexible, super clean, and attentive to every detail. He was incredibly professional, with a respectful attitude at all times. The result was simply outstanding: there is nothing he could improve, it was all perfect. I recommend Carlos without any doubt; he is a true professional and a talent. Thank you, Carlos, for a phenomenal job!! and Magda the dispatcher. Very professional and great communication.

I had a great experience with Saul! He was very kind, helpful, and professional throughout the entire process. He took the time to answer all of my questions about the shower repair and made sure I understood everything that needed to be done. I really appreciated his patience and willingness to help. Highly recommend Saul if you’re looking for someone reliable and knowledgeable!

I don’t usually leave reviews, but Hydro Plumbing & Rooter really earned this one. I had a backed-up drain that two other plumbers couldn’t fix. A friend recommended Hydro Plumbing, and I’m so glad I called them. From the first call, they were professional and easy to deal with. The dispatcher gave me a same-day appointment, and the tech showed up right on time. He explained everything before starting, used a hydro-jet to clean out the line, and even showed me a video of the inside of the pipe when he was done. The water was flowing perfectly again. What really stood out to me was how respectful and clean they were. No mess, no guessing, no surprises when it came time to pay. The price was fair, and they actually cared about doing the job right. If you’re looking for a reliable hydro plumbing company that knows what they’re doing, Hydro Plumbing & Rooter is the one to call. I’ll definitely use them again for future plumbing work.

Hydro Plumbing was very thorough and knowledgable. They have all the equipment needed to solve any problem you might have. The hydrojet was not unavailable at 4:30, They returned at 7pm to finish my job, and got our plumbing functional. Great team!

This is my first experience with this company and im very satisfied. They are responsive, competitive, and will make sure youre taken care of. Jose is a very experienced plumber and is honest and reliable. He can usually get out the same day and has the experience and skills to figure out whats going on and fix it. I will definately use them in the future.
