I have been working with Streamline for over 2 years. As a realtor, part of my job is to connect my clients with the best service providers in the industry for many different needs. With Streamline, I can say they are the gold standard. With over 20+ clients referred to them, not a single one has ever been unhappy. There are a lot of sewer companies out there to choose from, but only 1 sewer company that is the best in the business. Streamline is the best!
Description of Work: Sewer lateral replacement, testing and PSL certificates
They did a great job. We had a major rain storm but that did not stop them from doing their job. Much of the digging was through a mature rose garden so it was all dug by hand to minimize the damage to my roses. I am very happy with their work and they saved me lots of money.
Description of Work: We connected to existing sewer and closed down a septic tank. They ran a 90 ft line through the front of the property to the side of the house.

They apparently came to the house when I was not at home, though I had requested a time when I would be available. They put an estimate in my mail box and I never heard from them again. I guess I would have expected a phone call to ask it I had received the estimate and if I had questions or wanted to schedule service. But nothing. I figured, if they weren't that interested, neither was I.

Response from STREAMLINE PLUMBING
{Member name removed}- You called Streamline at the end of December claiming to have problems with your sewer and just wanted the line cleaned/cleared. We recommended you to someone who could get out there right away to clear the line. At that time they communicated to you that the line looked bad. We then set up an appointment to meet you out at the property at 11 am Thursday January 15th. When my estimator arrived at 11 no one was there so he went ahead and left a free estimate for you. We pride ourselves on giving our customers exact times to meet to make it more convenient for them instead of a 3 hour window, so with that said we had another estimate right after yours. We are not a high pressure company and figured if you wanted to hire us for our services you would contact us. You did make the comment that you thought if you cleared the line once a year it would be fine (so just figured you weren’t ready for replacement yet). So sorry you felt we weren’t interested in your business.

Everything went very smoothly with the replacement of the sewer line. The pre-replacement process took an extra day due to the existing line being broken and severely impacted with tree roots which required a day's worth of clearing before the inspector would approve the replacement. This was communicated to us so we knew what had happened and why--and we were aware of the roots so anticipated this might happen. The day of the replacement, the crew arrived on time, knew exactly what to do, had all of the equipment they needed and worked incredibly hard to finish in one day rather than two. They left the job site clean, had someone at the street directing traffic, arrived at 9:00 and were finished before 5:00 which minimized disruption to our neighbors. The company owner, Greg, and office manager, April, were very responsive in communicating with us about our questions, final inspections, etc. We would highly recommend Streamline to others in need of a sewer line replacement.
Description of Work: Replacement of broken sewer line that was severely impacted by roots, added a new clean out. All work completed with permits, cleared inspections within time and budget estimates.

I haven't had any problems with my plumbing since Streamline Plumbing fixed my pipes. I would say they could communicate better. It's kind of hard to judge the quality because it's all under the ground. The thing that really bothered me is they didn't really tell me when they were going to disconnect our sewer. I had asked them to tell me when can we use it and when can we not use it. They didn't communicate that to me, even though I had asked. It was a two day job, but when they left for that day, they told me they were going to hook it up, so we can use it and it turned out they didn't do that. The biggest problem was communication. If they had just talked to me, then things would have been much better. But they just didn't communicate when I could use my bathroom and when I couldn't use it and that was all the big things. When I mentioned this to the manager on the phone, he kind of was rude with me and said, "At the prices we charge, I can't afford to have one whole person who is there just to talk to customers." What we're really talking about though is a five minute conversation at the beginning of the day and a five minute conversation at the end of the day. I might use them in the future, but I would make sure the communication was working.
Description of Work: They did a major job. They replaced a pipe going from the house to the street.

We first learned we had to have our main sewer line replaced when our tub backed up and one of those guys from roto rooter or rescue rooter came and wanted to charge us 6,000 to replace half of it and that's if we did the digging! we did some research and had several companies come out to give us a quote, and greg's (owner) was by far the best for the amount of work. he replaced the whole line out to the main (which included digging and repairing a hole in the street to make the connection to the city main) using a trenchless system so our yard was intact. he took care of all permits. He did the work on time and in less time than he quoted. all said and done it was 5480.00 out the door. not bad compared to quotes up to 8,000 for less work. the only thing is there was no mention of a warranty in the paperwork. he said the work is guaranteed for 10 years and the parts have a manufacturers warranty. this was hand written and signed on the paperwork. he should have it included in the paperwork though. He will also run a camera down the main for free and show you the trouble spots . This is a free service whether you hire him or not

They are very good. The person who came out was on time, and he was very organized. He was in and out. He starts late and ends early, he was in and out fast. He does about fifty or sixty of them a month. I think his price is fair, he is not always the cheapest, but I would rate his price as good. I know some people whose prices are cheaper, but he is consistent and he provides quality service. He does his work very well.

NOTHING HAPPENED - JUST FRUSTRATION!!
Description of Work: I called them to see if I could get them to come to my home to fix the pipe and the faucet in my kitchem sink. I also wanted them to check out all 3 of my bathrooms to make sure that they were no leaks. I received the response from the man that answered the phone and sounded like he was bothered by the ringing of the telephone. "I cannot get to a job that small I'm too busy". I just paid money to join this AngiesList and this is what I've got so far??? What more am I ecpecting as a CUSTOMER?

We are sorry you had a bad phone experience. Currently we are busy with emergency sewer replacements and repairs and couldn't get to something that small, we tried to recommend another plumber that would be able to get to you quickly but you hung up before we had the opportunity to pass the information along. Again we apologize for any frustration you may have felt.

I found them on Angie's List and I think that they are excellent. They are really good. They are well-priced and they are very fast. They are very quick and do a sewer line in one day. They are very organized, and they get in and get out. I would recommend that you should call them if you need any sewer line work done in the Bay Area.

Description of Work: I have used the services of Streamline Plumbing in April 2011. They put a new sewer line in for me.
I am so very glad to have had the opportunity to have a professional evaluation from Streamline Plumbing. Expect courteous and honest service when you call them.
Description of Work: I called Greg at Streamline Plumbing for an independent estimate after some "Rooter" guys came to my house, snaked out the sewer line and tried to sell me a $20,000.00 full replacement of that line. The "Rooter" guys said that the cast iron pipe was in such bad shape that "I didn't have much time and had to act soon". I was looking at a massive disruption to my home and yard, including jack-hammering my basement floor. Greg from Streamline came over, brought his camera equipment, and ran the camera along the length of the sewer pipe. He explained to me, as we both watched on a color monitor, that the pipe was not at all damaged, had no tree root invasions, and indeed was probably good for another 30+ years! I was so relieved that I went to get my check book to pay him for his services, and he politely declined saying Streamline provides these kinds of estimates for free. I have come to understand that this full sewer line replacement scam happens all too frequently. Thank goodness there are still polite, honest individuals like Greg in the plumbing business. I recommend, without hesitation, Streamline Plumbing for a fair estimate regarding sewer replacement jobs - if you need one!

Greg was very responsive and professional when giving the estimate and scheduling the original work. The crew did a professional job replacing the actual main sewer line. However, the surrounding work, such as the required outlets/cleanouts surrounding the house were not done in a professional manner. When they were removing the concrete for the clean-outs, they did not clean up the splashing on the house or fence so both were sprayed/speckled with gray splashes that would not come off. In addition, the concrete patches were completed in a sub-standard fashion. Greg agreed to redo the patches and said he would call me to schedule for the following week, however he never called. Then suddenly on 12/23/2010 (the day before Christmas Eve) a crew showed up at my house with no prior notice to redo the concrete. I had just had my house repainted that week as the final step in our house remodel project. I told them they needed to call me to schedule the appointment. I could not believe they just showed up the day before Christmas Eve with no notice, almost 2 months after the original service. Our contract states that payment is due upon completion of sewer installation. Since they have not completed their job, I have not paid them the balance of the contract. The entire process has been very frustrating.

They showed up in the worst rainstorm of the year and without hesitation got the job done. Despite the weather and task at hand, the total downtime of my plumbing was only about five hours. Greg was very patient with my incessant questions and worries and ultimately made the process completely painless. They made a temporary patch in the street and let it settle for a couple of weeks before coming back and replacing it with a very neat and smooth patch.

I found Streamline on Angie's List. I was extremely satisfied with my entire experience with the company. From the first call for them to come out and give me an estimate to the finished job (which was a week later), I found the people I dealt with to be pleasant, respectful, and happy for my business. Greg came out the day after I called to give me an estimate. He described the work that would be done, and why it needed to be done. The estimate he gave was the price I paid. I had an estimate from another place to do a partial repair of the line. Streamline did the entire line for only $300 more, and now I won't have to worry about fixing it again. The workers who actually did the job were efficient and conscientious and polite. They arrived at my house just after 7 am to start the job, and they left at 3:30 that day with the whole thing finished. We barely knew they were out there the whole day. I would definitely use the company again for any plumbing needs, and I will definitely recommend them to my friends and family and neighbors. Thanks to Angie's List and Streamline!

We were having problems with our plumbing backing up. Come to find out that the clay pipes under our house were damaged - cracks, roots, and a break at the curb. The company that we initially called to deal with the back-ups (Rescue Rooter) gave us an estimate of $12,000-$14,000 and 3 days to fix the problem. Upon the recommendation of a friend who used Streamline to convert their septic system to sewer, we called Greg at Streamline. Streamline came out-did a free video camera inspection of the line and quoted us $5,800. They came 2 days later and finished the work in one day. They were able to get to the job a day earlier than they thought, got there with a full crew, did the work quickly and as quietly as possible, and cleaned up everything when they were done. The gentleman who operated the backhoe even offered to let my son sit up with him while he dug. I can not say enough good things about this company - we will use them for all of our future plumbing needs.
Description of Work: Streamline replaced the sewer line from our house to the main sewer line in the street. They removed our old, damaged clay pipe and replaced it with plastic using trenchless equipment-meaning they did not have to dig up my lawn and curb, (as another company said would have to be done.)
