Home ownership is no joke people. Especially when you DIY shelves and forget to check where the pipes are in your garage and your husband accidentally drills a hole in a copper pipe . Luckily we're resourceful people, turned the water off and took care of the hole enough to hold until the next day.
We called Fast Response because of the great reviews but also because they were based in the neighborhood and a family run business. They answered the phone early the next morning, had a slot in a couple hours. The pipe was fixed before lunch! And the price was totally reasonable! Happy with everything they did and stoked we could support local business!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

I recently had an emergency plumbing situation at my home, and Fast Response Plumbing & Rooter came to the rescue. From the moment I called, their customer service was top-notch. They were able to send a technician out within an hour, which was a huge relief given the severity of the leak.
The plumber who arrived was professional, knowledgeable, and clearly experienced. He quickly diagnosed the problem, explained the situation to me in simple terms, and provided a clear estimate before starting any work. What stood out to me was how transparent they were about the costs and the options available.
The repair itself was done efficiently, and the plumber ensured everything was cleaned up afterward. I appreciated the attention to detail and the fact that he took the time to double-check everything to make sure there wouldn't be any further issues.
Overall, Fast Response Plumbing & Rooter lived up to their name and exceeded my expectations in both speed and quality of service. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of a reliable plumber.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Fast Response Plumbing - 4271051568May 30, 2024
AWESOME business overall. I called them one afternoon when we noticed we had a leaky pipe, and notification from SFPUC that we had a leak (UGHS!). They said they were available to come out the next morning, and what a journey it's been. Out of the three different businesses we got quotes from, Fast Response Plumbing was the most reasonably priced, and at the end of it, the quickest turn around time, and provided great quality work. They had great expertise in the subject, I felt like they weren't ripping us off, and just did a great job. They also have a good texting service - they let you know when their staff is on their way for the morning, and you can text that number for questions, and they will call you their answer. They also repaved some concrete in the front of our house, and were very welcoming to having us put the handprints of our daughter & dog while it was still wet!
Shoutout to Esvin, who oversaw our project from beginning to end. He communicated everything as best he could (honestly, I don't think I will ever quite understand anything about pipes). Fantastic job. Highly recommended for any plumbing and pipe issues your old San Francisco home may have!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Very reasonable and didn't end up charging us anything or suggesting any work. He explained that there was no big concern since we tested and tested running the bathtub and didn't see a leak where it had been slightly wet before. Another business gave us a quote for over $2000 to replace a fixture that it seems is actually fine.
Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Jun 8, 2014Previous reviewReally grateful for this today. I called on a Sunday afternoon and the plumber was there an hour later. He fixed the non-draining dishwasher and the slow-draining bathtub without suggesting snaking or trying to sell me a new anything. And he basically advised me I just needed to get my own new showerhead on a low-water-pressure shower. $89 total. I wish all such dealings could be so straightforward.

This review is way past due!! We have been customers of Fast Response for many years for our 100-year-old single-family house in San Francisco.
Fast Response has been our go-to company for all our plumbing needs: pipe replacement (including water, gas, and sewer), trenching, random leaks, and clogged drain emergencies.
They are quick to respond to calls and easy to schedule. The actual work always matches the price estimate. One time, when they were unavailable to take on an urgent project, they even referred us to another company that they recommended.
Special shout out to the following technicians: Esvin, Yefrin, and Billy. You guys are beyond AMAZING!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

True to the reviews, my experience with fast response plumbing was great. You can call them to schedule an appointment, and on the day of the appointment you'll receive a text when the plumber is on the way (they'll also text you the name of the plumber). CJ was the plumber dispatched to our home.
CJ was friendly, efficient and helpful! He was able to fix the clog with a 25 ft drill snake (after disassembling the pipes) within 15 minutes. He also did several tests to make sure everything worked as expected.
On the phone they quoted anywhere between $150-450 for unclogging the kitchen sink depending on the complexity, and our final price was $195 which is very reasonable for SF (just ask around with other plumbers and see the difference! Average seemed to be ~$250+).
NOTE: there seems to be another company going by the name of FAST RESPONSE PLUMBING & DRAIN PROS that have a google maps link and website that shows up when you google "fast plumbing". Make sure you're calling the right number (on this yelp page) and NOT the drain pros number 415-829-6011 which asks you to enter your zip code and then route you to one of many plumbers in the Bay area.Helpful 2Thanks 2Love this 2Oh no 0Business owner information

Just in the past couple of months I have been using Fast Reponse's services as different things broke down-when it rains, it pours literally in our case! So they not only installed a laundry sink, fixed a clog, found a leak, installed new handles of my main valve and had to make a bigger opening to access it, fixed shower handles, installed a faucet-so plenty to do. Although, I was facing multiple problem it was good that I had a trusted team I relied on and was quick to respond. They were reasonable in price and I feel they did not gouge me as some companies may do which is important to me. I liked Jarvin and Kevin from our first visit, so I kept asking for them and only wanted them!
I am sooo glad I found this company and went by its reviews on YELP!Helpful 3Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

Fast Response PlumbingNov 6, 2023Previous reviewI manage an apartment building and the tub that the washer drained into was overflowing. I also had low water pressure in the upstairs unit which the new tenants have not moved in yet but I noticed it cleaning the apartment.
Since I am far from SF I have to deal from afar and tenants open the door for them. They were called at 11 am ( bc I forgot to call first thing at 9 am) and they were able to schedule me between 3-5 at my request( they offered earlier even).
They fixed the drain and resolved the clog which was deep. Then patiently waited for the upstairs apt key to arrive( I had someone drive to bring a key to let the plumber in the unit) and fixed the faucets on the top floor in the kitchen and bathroom. I asked if there was a Yelp discount since I booked through Yelp and often businesses do ( they do so look on their Yelp site for 10.00 savings for checking in). Note if you are not in the SF area and dealing from afar, you have to call and ask bc it won't take if not local. He said he will ask his manager since he was new.
Idk if this was part of the Yelp discount or what, but he didn't charge me for fixing the upstairs faucet which was a quick fix. So I appreciated that and companies could gouge you for waiting for the person to arrive with the key because of time, but they were very gracious.
I am also getting an estimate to install a new washtub to replace our old one and a faucet. So will update with that job, so different jobs Yelpers can see how it goes.
I am very happy with the EXCELLENT service and reasonable price I think. It was 195. and I added a 15% tip on top of that( optional), but they did great work. I did not feel ripped off like other plumbers or service workers/businesses you feel ripped off sometimes. They were great and the workers Jarvin and Kevin I believe were polite, courteous, gracious and knew what they were doing and efficient. So again as all my Yelps reflect, I look for excellence and when I find it, I shout it from the mountaintops to let everyone know!!! Because these days especially, it has become a rare find-this local business is a great one that we need to support! - Dec 29, 2023Updated review
My previous review still stands up after two years. Since that time I have managed to clog my drain again!
Still rooting for this place +'s:
+ CJ came out and immediately resolved my issue within minutes
+ He explained why I was having clogs even without hair as the culprit. Gave me a tip too to run a basin of hot soapy water to regularly keep things running smoothly! Thanks for the tip!
+ Very pleasant and cool when I asked for no shoes in the home
+ Easy to check out. Get an invoice and pay online!
In future I will still call this place because they are solid and the people they send do great work!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 1Aug 28, 2021Previous reviewSaturday AM my bathroom sink wouldn't drain. I had hopped onto YouTube and decided if I could fix it myself. Sadly I couldn't figure it out :( so I called Fast Response Plumbing & Rooter
Why I Root for FRP&R:
+ Customer service. The coordinator patiently listened to my issue and found a slot for me on the same day. That's not always the case especially during the pandemic when everyone's home gadgets are wearing down when WFH.
+ Timely. The coordinator gave me an update when someone became available sooner. Yay!
+ Professional. David showed up and put on his mask and booties. Thanks for being proactive and not making me ask!
+ Super helpful. I showed him my DIY progress and he knew immediately what I missed. This review is not about my DIY--so moving on--David resolved the issue and showed me where I got stuck. He showed me how to finish the project of getting sink clog fixed.
+ Beyond expectations. David was super nice about the whole thing and I appreciate his professionalism and offer to show me how to get a sink resolved next time it got clogged.
Why it's a drain for FRP&R:
I always not good and bad in my reviews. There's nothing negative to note!
Overall I have already raved about Fast Response Plumbing & Rooter to many of friends. I told them how they saved the day after my DIY attempt! Now Yelp readers must know--FRP&R are trustworthy and professional! These are qualities you need to have when looking for service while trying to WFH and dealing with unexpected issues that happen at home! - S. D.Lafayette, CA11758May 7, 2024Updated review
So I have used this company at least 4 times now, maybe 5. I have an older building and the tenants can be very rough.
Augered out a plugged drain and also diagnosed a failing gasket. Thankfully the technician had the gasket in his truck (even though I have a Toto which isn't all the common). All done in one hour.
Fair pricing and great communication. They are in my speed dial. Solid customer service.Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

415-596-6115May 18, 2018Previous reviewOwning an old San Francisco houses is both a blessing and a curse because EVERYTHING needs servicing or replacing. With the last huge rainstorm in late Feb/early March I had water coming up out of a drain in my garage. Called out Fast Response, Billy snaked and water hydroed to the street (over 50 feet), cleared sink drain and everything is fine, we are now ready for next year's storms. Good communication, fast service and knowledgeable about these old SF properties. Planning to use them for my water heater replacement project which is coming soon. Highly recommended!

Joe and the guys at Fast Response are awesome. They check all the boxes: They respond quickly, are open all the time, have experienced and well-communicative staff, have great pricing, are good with the paperwork/administrative side of things, and most importantly, they are consistent!
You should listen to me, Im a property manager, so I facilitate upwards of 20+ plumbing jobs a month. These guys are great and you wont be disappointed when you need plumbing help.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information
