Plumbing reviews in San Anselmo, California

i reached out to jacob & sons plumbing to check out replacing the old galvanized pipes in my house. maurice came by in just a couple of days and gave us a really fair estimate. connor and jason arrived right on time, put in three new spigots, redid all the plumbing with pex lines, and quickly found a big issue with the main water line. they even ran a temporary line from the street to keep everything working and stuck to the original price. they finished everything in under eight hours. i'll definitely call them for any plumbing work in the future and highly recommend their team.

After three weeks of having to shower somewhere else with my family, we finally had a plumber come out to help us. Terry, our technician, was fantastic. He took just a few minutes to figure out the problem and then quickly gave us three different quotes, each with a different way to fix the issue. If I had a question and he didn’t know the answer, he was honest and polite about it instead of just guessing. I would definitely recommend their plumbing services, and I especially suggest asking for Terry if you need help.

I had an urgent plumbing situation, and I was really impressed with the service I received. I called for help when my home warranty couldn't send a plumber right away. I had a hot water tank issue in my attic that was leaking into my ceiling. It was a big problem, but they arrived in just 30 minutes. The technicians quickly got to work in the cramped attic, safely shutting off the gas and water, and draining the tank. They handled the tough job with great skill and professionalism, and I appreciated that they wore masks. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of plumbing help. They definitely deserve an 'A' plus!

I scheduled a visit to talk about how to properly install a dehumidifier in our crawl space and connect it to the outside of the house. Maurice assessed the situation and came up with a smart solution, identified the materials needed, and shared a price that I was happy to approve. He came back the next day with a helper, set up the piping, connected the dehumidifier, and even re-routed some plumbing for the kitchen sink. He made sure everything was working perfectly before cleaning up and leaving. It was a thorough, professional, and well-executed job. excellent work!

My renter let me know about a leak at my property, and since I live out of state, I needed a plumber I could count on. After trying a couple of other plumbing companies with no luck, I reached out and got a quick reply. They scheduled an appointment for the next day, and Connor showed up right on time. He found the problem and fixed the leak without any hassle. The price was fair, and the whole process was smooth and easy to handle from far away. I really appreciate the great service!

This was our first time calling Jacob & Sons Plumbing. Over the weekend, we discovered a serious leak just outside our front door. By Sunday morning, there was about an inch of water pooling in our flower bed. In San Anselmo, that's not something you see every day. Since it was a holiday weekend, finding a plumber was difficult and we weren’t sure who to reach out to. A friend recommended this company, and they really came through. We set up an appointment, Jason arrived, fixed the broken pipe, and everything is back to normal now. The team was very friendly, professional, and their prices were reasonable. I would definitely suggest them to anyone in San Anselmo for plumbing work or repairs!

I want to take a moment to give a big shoutout to Maurice and his crew at Jacob & Sons Plumbing. Recently, we had some plumbing work done at our home, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Maurice personally reached out when I asked for suggestions and took the time to discuss what needed fixing. They repaired a pipe in the basement and took care of the outdoor irrigation system. Not long ago, an issue popped up with the irrigation system due to its age, causing a leak that flooded the road. I called Maurice, and he had his team out the very next morning. Even though this problem wasn't linked to their earlier work, they fixed everything without charging me a dime. Their professionalism and commitment to customer satisfaction are truly impressive. I highly recommend Jacob & Sons Plumbing for any plumbing needs. They recently helped me with a pipe clog, and once again, the experience was outstanding!

i met with terry this morning to talk about a sewer backup issue in my condo. terry really knew his stuff and carefully explained what might be causing the blockage in my pipes. he also went over different ways he could find the problem and a few options for fixing it. i appreciated that he took the time to go over everything and seemed focused on actually helping me, not just trying to make a sale. terry put together a quote for the repairs, and i got it super fast. the dispatcher who answered my call, maurice, was also great. maurice kept me updated on when terry would arrive and quickly rescheduled my appointment when i needed to change the time. he made sure i felt like an important customer and that their team wanted to give me the best plumbing service. overall, really happy with the experience and would recommend them for any plumbing repairs.

I usually don’t write reviews, but I wanted to share my great experience with a local plumbing company. Maurice and his team showed up late on a Sunday and really saved the day for us. We had about 20 guests coming over, and suddenly our kitchen sink backed up with dirty water from the dishwasher and wouldn’t drain. The plumbing in our house has some tricky spots with several sharp turns, so clogs are a problem every few years. Maurice went up on the roof and used the main stack to jet the pipes clean, which kept things tidy and there were no bad smells in the house. This was a much more thorough job than what anyone else had done for us before, and definitely more effective than just running a snake through the trap. What impressed me most was that they came out on short notice, on a Sunday, and didn’t charge any extra for same-day service or for working on the weekend. I’ve already saved their number and talked to them about a bathroom project we have coming up. If you need a reliable plumber in the area, I highly recommend giving them a call.

I reached out to a local plumber in San Anselmo because my pipes were making loud banging noises, which I learned is called water hammering. Connor, the plumber who came out, really knew his stuff and explained all the possible ways to fix the issue. He made sure to give me several options that fit different budgets, which I appreciated. Since plumbing repairs can sometimes get expensive, I chose the most cost-effective solution for now. Connor carefully replaced my pressure regulator and made sure the pipes were secured properly. He also gave me a detailed list of other things to consider for future maintenance and took notes in case I want to do more work later. The job was done neatly, and everything looks great. I'm glad I called, and my plumbing is running smoothly without those loud noises.

The alarm on my septic system went off, so I called for help. Terry showed up the same day and did a very detailed inspection of the whole setup. He explained everything about how the system works in simple terms, which really helped me understand what was going on. Terry found out that one of my toilets was constantly running and causing the septic system to get overloaded. He kindly offered to fix the toilet himself, but also explained that it was an easy repair I could do on my own, which would save me money. I ended up fixing the toilet myself and felt confident knowing that my septic system was working well overall. The service was quick, honest, and very helpful.

my wife wanted a new kitchen faucet, but i didn't want to try installing it myself. we decided to call a plumber since we had a good experience before when connor installed our garbage disposal. scheduling an appointment was easy, and connor showed up right on time. he was friendly, got to work quickly, and put in the new faucet without any issues. connor made sure everything was sealed up and checked for leaks a few times before finishing. he also cleaned up the area when he was done. overall, really happy with the service and how smooth everything went.

I first called a different local plumber in San Anselmo because they could come out quickly to look at my tankless water heater, which is only a couple of years old. When their plumber arrived, I explained that I had noticed a leak on an outside pipe connected to the heater. He took off the cover and spent a couple of minutes looking inside, then told me the leak was coming from inside the unit. Right away, he said a part was broken and the whole water heater needed to be replaced for $5,200. He stepped outside to check with his boss, returned shortly after, and confirmed that replacement was the only option. He even tried to pressure me by saying that leaving it as-is could flood my house. I decided to think it over before making such a big decision. That’s when I called another plumbing company for a second opinion. I had to wait a few days for Maurice from their team to come by, but it was definitely worth it. Maurice took his time and did a thorough inspection, including taking part of the heater apart to check everything. He found that the water heater itself was actually in good condition—the real problem was that the builder who installed the piping had done it incorrectly, causing back pressure that made water leak outside the pipes. Maurice also replaced an O-ring just to be sure there would be no more leaks. The issue was fixed quickly and at a fraction of the cost I was originally quoted. I really appreciate the honesty and careful work from this plumbing company in San Anselmo. They saved me a lot of money and made sure my tankless water heater was running perfectly. I highly recommend them for any plumbing repairs or water heater issues!

We scheduled an appointment with Terry from Jacob & Sons Plumbing to look at our ductless air conditioning unit, which had stopped working. Terry took the time to go over all the possible solutions with us and even called the manufacturer’s technical support to help figure out what was wrong. He was very thorough when speaking with the tech support team, and he was also really patient whenever he talked with customer service. Terry made sure to explain all the parts of our system and what our options were in a way that was easy for us to understand. He answered all of our questions clearly and made sure we felt comfortable with the information. Although we haven’t decided yet what we’ll do with our unit, we really appreciated the helpful and knowledgeable service. We would definitely recommend this company to anyone in San Anselmo looking for plumbing or HVAC help.

Connor did a fantastic job fixing my plumbing issue. After I explained what was happening, he clearly talked me through what steps he would take and what he needed to check to find the best solution. He kept me updated during the whole process and even showed me the crack in the old pipe connected to the outdoor faucet. Connor was both friendly and very professional the whole time. I appreciated getting a text with his photo right after I scheduled my appointment, and another message with his picture when he was on the way. I’d definitely recommend Jacob & Sons Plumbing to anyone needing plumbing help.

I had a great experience with this plumbing company when I had an emergency with a clogged waste line that I just couldn’t clear on my own. They responded quickly and sent out Maurice to help. After fixing the clog, Maurice ran a camera through the pipe to check for any bigger problems that might have caused the issue. He later called me to explain what he saw in the video, which really helped me understand what was going on. Thankfully, everything looked good, so I can move forward with my home renovation plans without any worries. Everyone I spoke to, from the office staff to the crew, was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend their plumbing services to anyone in need.

Connor is a true plumbing expert! I needed to get a new sink installed at my business in San Anselmo, but we ran into a big problem with the drain. The pipe hadn’t been used in a long time and was completely clogged. After trying some basic fixes like plunging and using drain cleaner with no luck, I decided it was time to call Jacob & Sons Plumbing. Connor first tried to clear the clog from the wall access, but it didn’t work. Not giving up, he went up on the roof to snake the drain through the vent pipe, but the blockage was still there. Even with these challenges, he stayed positive and determined to solve the issue and get my bar sink running. He decided the next step was to make a clean, easy-to-repair opening in the drywall to access the pipe directly. Once he opened it up, he found the T-joint was completely packed with rocks and debris that had built up over time. Instead of calling it quits, he carefully removed the mess using a vacuum and a roto-snake machine. After some effort, the clog finally broke free and the drain started flowing perfectly. Now my sink works great and drains quickly, making it much easier to run my business. Connor’s dedication and problem-solving skills made all the difference. If you’re looking for a plumber in San Anselmo, I highly recommend this team for their hard work and attention to detail.

I had a great experience with Jacob & Sons Plumbing! I called and within a few hours, Terry showed up to check out our plumbing issue. As I thought, our water heater needed to be replaced. Terry quickly pointed out some plumbing that wasn’t up to code, which matched what I’d seen in my inspection report. He suggested the most affordable fix for the water heater. I also asked him about a few other plumbing concerns, and he was honest—he told me those didn’t need any work, which I really appreciated. Terry noticed I use my garage as a workshop and saw I had cabinets around the water heater. He made sure to run the new drain line neatly behind the cabinets, so it looked good and was easier for me to use the space. It’s rare to find plumbers who are so skilled, honest, and friendly. Even though replacing the water heater was a big expense, the top-notch service made it totally worth it.

As a first-time homeowner in San Anselmo, I was excited about my new place, but that excitement quickly turned into stress when my shower pipe burst and caused water to leak into the unit below. Not knowing who to call, a neighbor suggested Jacob & Sons Plumbing. Within an hour, Maurice arrived and immediately got to work, checking over everything thoroughly. He came back early the next morning, was very friendly, professional, and took the time to explain exactly what was happening with my plumbing. The whole process was much less stressful thanks to his help and knowledge. If I ever need plumbing services again, I know exactly who I’ll call!

I highly recommend these plumbers for anyone needing help with their home systems. I was having an issue with my propane boiler, so I sent a video of the problem. Maurice got back to me right away, gave me some helpful advice over the phone, and then made time to come by and check it out in person. He carefully looked over the whole setup and explained that while the installation wasn’t necessarily wrong, there have been some updates in the plumbing field over the years. Maurice offered some practical suggestions for improvements and was very professional—he even complimented the previous work and clearly pointed out what could be done to fix the two main issues I was having. A few days after the service, everything is running smoothly. There’s no air or steam in my heating lines, and the pipes aren’t making any noise. The whole system works perfectly now. I really appreciate the fast, thorough, and friendly service.

I’ve called on this plumbing company twice and each time they have done a fantastic job. Today, they helped me with a leaky hot water pipe and replaced the J-trap under my sink. Terry came out and was very professional, polite, and arrived right on schedule. He quickly figured out what was wrong and had everything repaired in less than an hour. Terry also pointed out that one of my sewer pipes was sagging, so he added a J bracket to support it and make sure the drain flowed properly. I’m really happy with their work and the way they explain everything in simple terms. The prices are fair and they let you know the hourly rate up front, so there aren’t any surprises. I highly recommend this team if you need a plumber in the area!
