Great! Always able to respond within hours and solve the problem.
Description of Work: I've used this company three times. Once for a shower faucet that needed to be replaced, would not stop dripping. They were here within a couple hours and took care of the problem. The second time was for a shower drain that wasn't draining. Same prompt service and reasonable prices. Today they cleaned the main house drain to the sewer - again prompt and reasonable.

They went the extra mile and even reinforced the base gasket. He did the extra work to insure that it would be secure and to avoid leakage issues. He was very professional and sincere. Took the time and was very interested in doing the job right!

Great! I will hire him again if I need a plumber!
Description of Work: A two-way trap for the bathroom was dug and installed in the backyard for easier access. Old and leaky pipes were replaced with new ones underneath the house. George Williams did a great job. He is neat, polite and is reasonably priced. He gave me the best estimate for the job and was very professional. I have used his services before because I trust his work.

After my failed attempt to solve the problem called George Williams at American River Plumbing. I have used George for various plumbing problems for quite a few years. I called him on Monday morning and he said he could be out that afternoon as he had some scheduled work already. He showed up that afternoon. He was able to clear the drain and redo the drain plumbing under the laundry tub i had attempted. No leaks, drains working great. Very reasonable price at $110.00. I asked him about some other work that I thought I might need and he advised against it. He didn't want to take my money for something he thought wasn't necessary. Don't find that often in today's world. George is a very hard working and honest person I would recommend fully. Need more people like George
Description of Work: Cleared drain blockage for both kitchen and laundry tub drains. Reassembled the plumbing under the laundry tub.

George came out at the time he stated. George took off the faucet head as we told him the pressure in our kitchen sink was low. George said that the one button on the faucet head was stuck on close. George actually showed my husband how to remove the faucet and open that button himself if we should accidentally close it again. George said that the faucet probably has a lifetime warranty and that we should call the manufacturer and ask them to send us a new faucet head. We would use George again for any plumbing or repair issue.
Description of Work: Cleared the 'closed' position of a button on the faucet. George is very professional.

George answered my phone call on Sunday. After asking a few questions about the water heater, George first proposed checking the warranty. He came out on Monday morning as promised, diagnosed the problem as a faulty control/thermostat, contacted the manufacturer and confirmed it was under warranty. He picked up the part and installed it the next day. I couldn't be more pleased with George's responsiveness and professionalism.

I called American River plumming late Monday night, got a return call early Tuesday morning from George, I told him that we had no hot water. Gave him the name of my water heater he told me what he thought it was . Said he would pick up the part and could be at my house by 11:00, after he he finishes with another customer. He actually got to my place by 10:30, replaced the part and was done and gone by 11:15. We had hot water 30 minutes after that. George very nice and knowledgeable. It was great to come across someone who has been in the business for a long time, who was willing to drive out of his area to fix my water heater. I can't say the same for Water heaters inc. Whom which I called first and the Guy I spoke with knew the problem but told me he did not carry the parts to fix my water heater, he told me That I should Contact home Depot who had contractors that can help. George on the other had asked me what the model and serial was so that he can get the part before he came to my house. If we have any issues in the future with plumbing we will be contacting American River Plumbing for help.
Description of Work: Replaced our pilot on the water heater.

Everything provided by American River Plumbing was outstanding. George (the owner) was on-time, courteous, competent and competitively priced. We also experienced no "hard sell" from George, just useful and constructive advice.
Description of Work: George, the owner of American River Plumbing, installed a new low-flow toilet and gave us sound advice regarding some other plumbing-related matters (e.g. water heaters). After talking with George, we purchased the toilet that he installed for us.

George responded to my voice mail within ten minutes and scheduled an appointment at my convenience. He unclogged my toilet and sink promptly. He left the area clean and dry. He was professional and courteous and his price was very reasonable...considering I had another plumber come out that was almost double his hourly rate. Highly recommend.

Description of Work: Home sales contract called for flushing our water heater. We attempted to do this on weekend; hot water would never run clean. Called George Memorial Day. He came on the holiday and said that the water heater had probably been dropped when it was installed eight years ago. He replaced the water heater that day after giving us the choice of trying to do a quick fix or replace. This is the fourth time that George has done plumbing work for us.

George is of the highest caliber and I highly recommend him if anyone is needing a good plumber. He was punctual and he did not take very long to get the job done and was very careful to not track dirt in the house, using mats to wipe his shoes. He saved me a lot of money on this job as other quotes were so very much higher. He seems like a patient, kind and very honest man also which is always a plus in my book. Truly a light in the darkness in the plumbing world!!!
Description of Work: George brought my hot water heater into safety and compliance codes with the correct plumbing needed. He also fixed my bathroom shower/tub valves and installed a very nice new shower head so that I could control the flow of water. A sink faucet was also fixed so that it is easy to turn on and off and does not drip. Everything was left very clean and neat when he was done

I called American Plumbing on a Saturday morning to unclog a toilet. I had used this company on one other occasion, a clogged disposal drain. On this occasion, I wasn't sure what to expect on a Saturday morning, but George answered, and told me that he would come when he finished his current job. He arrived in a timely way, and he had a tool that unclogged the toilet quite easily. I asked him, as long as he was there, to run his device through the 2 other toilets in the house, and he did that at no extra charge. He gets right to work, but he is also personable, and he told me that the problem is the hygiene wipes we all buy. They tend to get caught in the drain, and contrary to the advertising, apparently they don't dissolve. I would use him again because his prices seem within the range I am willing to pay, and he gets the job done in a timely way. He's careful when he works, and takes care to protect walls, floors, etc.

I paid an additional $250 apart from the $79 deal. They were very professional and got right to the task. But I did find the price I paid for a little high.
Description of Work: I used the big deal of American River Plumbing. They replaced three lavatories. I had the materials, they just provided the installation. I think it also includes the faucets and showers.
