First Call Plumbing and Sewer Service

Mike and his crew were great! They were professional, efficient and nice! I will recommend him to anyone who has sewer and drain problems.

Mike was amazing– answers the phone himself, no secretary saying they will get back to you. Professional, quick & doesn’t try to sell you services you don’t need. He showed up on time & got right to work. No problems. Quick & efficient. And clean. And beats Roto Rooters prices! I will use him for all future plumbing issues. Thanks Mike!

Excellent service! Great Prices! Great work. 6 month warranty. Responsive, follows up and keeps you in the loop every step of the way. All of the 5 stars for this business speaks for itself.

Awesome! Mike answered my call on a Sunday morning! He was able to come that afternoon to give an estimate for a broken water pipe and fixed it that same day! He showed us exactly what was going on explained what he did. We are so very thankful for the wondeful job he & Carlos did! So very glad we gave him a call and very pleased with the quote!

These guys are great! I have a clogged sewer drain and they tried their hardest to get it unclogged but it wouldn’t happen. :(Mike told me he was going to call the county for me because he figured it might be on their side. He called them for me and they showed up in an hour, checked the sewage pipe and it is on their side. So they are fixing it and cleaning up the nasty mess it left in my backyard. I will be calling First Call Plumbing in the future if I have any other problems because they are very helpful and know what they are doing and helped me get the problem fixed when they couldn’t.

Mike and crew were THE BEST! Within 45 minutes of my call which includes his 20 minute drive across town to my house, my drain was cleared. Mike was tidy, professional and quite a friendly and courteous person. He gave me suggestions on how I could avoid the problem I called him for and warrantied his work for 90 days. I would refer Mike in a heartbeat.

I would give First Call an 8 Star Review because every review of this Professional Service should rightfully be 5 stars.
When you have a problem with your plumbing or sewer system, you needed it to be done yesterday! I don’t have to say too much about the service provided because you can get all of that info from previous reviews.
First, the problem is figured out without any guess work. Decision making is scientific and the hard work is done with ease. For those that have no clue and think that things are easy to fix and want to DIY, do not try this at home. Having the best equipment, experience, team work, and solutions, Mike and the team will exceed your expectations. Carlos is a champion! (the wife’s word) Then, once the job’s done, you don’t just have a problem solved, you have a guarantee that it is the best option.
If you want to shop around for quotes or service options then go ahead and make those calls.
But if you want the problem solved for the best price, take the First Call, it might be your only.

I had to replace the main water shutoff for my condo and was given a referral to 1^st Call Plumbing. Mike came right over to check the job and we set up an appointment for this morning. Mike coordinated with my condo HOA so they could notify my neighbors their water would be shut off and for the city to turn off the water at the street.
Mike showed up exactly when he said he would and the work was professionally done in a timely manner. After the water was turned on in my house, Mike went around and flushed the pipes. I will definitely call 1^st Call Plumbing if I have any main drain problems in the future.

First and foremost: ALL of the 5 star reviews are unequivocally appropriate.
Here’s my experience with background:
I had attempted to snake our sewer line with a rental from Home Depot primarily due to the usual prohibitive cost of calling a professional. In my attempt, a 20 foot section of the professional plumber snake broke off in my main sewer line. I went back to Home Depot and was essentially told the breakage was my fault and was offered no help in rectifying the now exacerbated problem. Using their chat service, my unfortunate first contact with a professional was Bell Bros., also with whom I have a membership giving me discounted service. In my «chat» I had explicitly indicated there was a ⁵⁄₈^th inch professional snake broken off in my sewer line, there is no clean-​out available to retrieve the snake and the broken snake needed be retrieved prior to another snake being used; I was told this set of circumstances was not an issue and should not affect the cost of service. Be aware, just to have Bell Bros. dispatched to your house usually costs $ 79.95, which is where Mike and First Call Plumbing starts to outshine his competition. The technician was completely unaware of the facts I told the chat representative not 12 hours prior. The technician then proceeds to tell me because there is a broken snake he cannot use another snake to clear the clog and Bell Bros doesn’t have the equipment to retrieve the broken snake. So my question at this point is:“WHY THE HECK did I just pay you to be dispatched to my house for you to tell me what I told your representative yesterday and have you reiterate what I already know???” So the Bell Bros technician quoted me ONE THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED dollars to locate my sewer pipe and install a 2-​way clean-​out, which didn’t include unclogging the pipe or removing the broken snake. Needless to say I was done.
I turned to Unilocal and THANKFULLY found First Call Plumbing.
Mike and I agreed to a next day meeting, to which he arrived early preceded by a confirmatory call. Unlike Bell Bros., Mike actually listened to my situation, we discussed the situation with all available options. I was won over by his professionalism, compassionate demeanor, honesty and EXCEPTIONAL value. Furthermore, Mike was 100% transparent throughout the entire process even allowing me to take a picture of the root ball occluding my sewer pipe. We agreed upon a plan of action and now I have a functioning sewer line for significantly less than Bell Bros was trying to wring out of me. I am going to discontinue my Bell Bros membership and keep First Call Plumbing in my contact list for any future needs.
In essence, DO NOT HESITATE to call Mike at First Call Plumbing with your issue, he is unlike the big companies in every possible POSITIVE way.

I called Mike on a Saturday morning after my toilet backed up into the tub late Friday night. (Charming!) He arrived about 30 minutes later as promised, and was finished clearing my main sewer line in less than an hour. The same hour! He and his assistant were friendly and they let me watch the video as the camera travelled through the pipe. It was pretty neat. I would not hesitate to call Mike again for any plumbing problem, and I’ll be recommending him to my rental agency as well.

Great service on the day after Christmas. Friendly service. Got the job done. Toilet was backing up due to tree roots in the sewer pipe. They showed me the video of the sewer pipe. Mike wore booties when he came into the house. Job took one hour.

Awesome service!!! quick even on Christmas Eve very reasonable priced! I called he was here within 20 min and done in 10 … Thank you very much for your emergency response and saving Christmas

Mike was in the area and came by 30 minutes after calling. Did what the «other guys» said would take them a week to get to that same night in about one hour. Such a genuinely nice guy and what a great service. Quality and trustworthy. A true rarity nowadays. I know who I will call for my plumbing needs. I would HIGHLY recommend this company. Try them. You won’t regret it!

Okay, so I can’t say enough about Mike and this company! Not only was he there exactly when he said, he gave the best service that we’ve ever received from a service call for any reason.
This particular scenario, we had a plugged up bathroom and had already called a plumber the day before who spent a couple hours and didn’t fix the problem. Instead, the first plumber tracked mud through my house, actually making it worse for me. When Mike got here, he did everything possible to avoid tracking anything in our house by putting on some fabric booties over his shoes like in a hospital.
Next, he didn’t waste time with old fashioned techniques and got straight to his expensive «camera snake» is what I’ll call it. Went down the line, then found exactly where the head of the snake stopped and was clogged.
Now, here’s the best part and what separates Mike into a category of people that deserves praise. Instead of charging me the 500 – 600 that is common for this type of issue, Mike noticed that it was so close to the county clean out area that they should actually have to come and clear it for free. So we are currently waiting for the county to come handle this.
To add icing on top, instead of «thanks for the money» and just leaving without any further information, Mike told us to give him a call after the county is done, whether it worked or not, just to make sure everything went smoothly. If not, he said he’d be right back out when we need him. That my friend is real customer service and I appreciate it beyond belief!
In case you were having trouble reading the whole post and simply skipped go the conclusion… well in conclusion, I highly recommend Mike and First Call Plumbing!

Mike was helpful in getting our master shower unclogged. He was able to squeeze us in and very professional.. Will definitely use him for services in the future!

Mike was prompt, courteous and professional. The job was done quickly and at a reasonable price. He told me what additional work would be needed for a long term solution without making me feel like I needed to get it done right then and there. I appreciated the honesty and genuine suggestion.
You have plumbing problems, call Mike! You will be happy you did.

Awesome! Fast service, clean and respectful. Happy I found him on Unilocal.I called him in the morning, he was here and done before noon. He did a great job and cleaned up before he left. I will definitely be calling him again next time I need service!

So, I had a plumbing emergency and there was a mess created on the side of my house due to the clogged pipes that I had. I tried to clean myself but was too disgusting to do so. I called Mike and he was the only plumber that was able to make time for me the same day. He came by and cleared out pipes and even cleaned the horrible mess.
He made my Fiancé and I feel extremely comfortable and we are so grateful that he was able to come out so soon and do a great job.
Thanks Mike! :D

Mike was extremely helpful. We got back from Tahoe to discover water bulging from our ceiling in our condo. Our shower upstairs sprung a leak. With it being after 7pm on a Sunday we got on Unilocal to find a plumber that was willing to come help on a Sunday night. I called Mike and and he got out here in 20 minutes. He quickly assessed the issue with the shower and came back the next day to fix the pipes. On top of fixing our leaking shower, Mike also fixed out toilet that stuck when flushing. Without a doubt, I would recommend First Call Plumbing for any plumbing issues.

This guy is your «easy button»!
I called with a sewer root problem, got Mike on the phone immediately, and he was very professional and easy to work with. He came out as planned on time and took care of my problem within an hour. I will certainly keep him on file as my go-​to guy for sewer and plumbing!
