Q:
I heard EJ charges just to come out and give an estimate on the job you want done. Is this true?
A:
I just talked to them and was told that there is a $150 diagnostic fee for coming out and give an estimate. The fee is applied towards any service. There are many other plumbers who give a free estimate. $150 seems quite high

It could be an unpleasant experience if you are in need of a plumber and must find one by searching online. While Yelp or Google reviews might improve your odds of finding an honest, capable plumber, how many people writing these reviews really are in a position to knowledgeably evaluate a plumber's work?
I found E J Plumbing by asking a plumber I know who was too busy to do my job for a first-rate recommendation for a plumbing company. That recommendation was seconded by someone who refers people to plumbers on a daily basis, a leak detector company owner.
E J Plumbing did, in my opinion, quite a difficult job replacing with a ball valve a home shutoff gate valve that did not seal. The job was complicated because it was located on several old galvanized pipes below the shutoff valve that if jarred could have doubled or tripled the cost of the job. Also, there was very little room around the valve. The finished job is flawless and looks beautiful. I say this because I have done a moderate amount of plumbing as a homeowner but this job was well beyond what I would have considered doing myself. In addition, though the job was more involved and took much longer than the work that was quoted, they were willing to stand behind the original quote. I liked Daniel, the company owner, and his two assistants, Santiago and Daniel, as people, and liked welcoming them on my property. In addition, I liked them for their gracious willingness to go well beyond what one can reasonably expect for a fixed price job.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Sean S.San Jose, CA2134Jun 25, 2024
Bruce was absolutely incredible. Our challenge was two-fold. We had a faulty supply line in one bathroom sink, and then we had a wobbly toilet in a different bathroom.
We called around to several plumbing companies and EJ Plumbing was immediately responsive and we were able to book an appointment within a day.
On appointment day, this was done as a consultation. Evaluate our situation and then offer the appropriate guidance on what to do to solve it.
Turns out, Bruce was able to determine exactly what was needed, he even phoned a few other colleagues in the area to see if they might be available to help knock this out on the same day.
Lucky for us, Bruce was very clear on the cost estimates, let us know that some team members were in the area and could come by to help. We agreed.
Thanks Bruce! And thanks EJ PlumbingHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Our landlord hired EJ to tackle a challenging sewer line issue, and we were fortunate to have Ben Maher assigned to the job. From the moment he arrived, it was clear we were in the hands of a consummate professional. The problem was far more complex than anticipated, but Ben handled it with impressive expertise and grace. He kept us fully informed throughout the process, ensuring we understood each step of the diagnosis and resolution.
Ben's colleague, Jonathan, also contributed significantly. Together, they not only provided a reliable short-term solution but also laid out a thoughtful plan for a long-term fix. Their ability to communicate clearly, address our concerns, and maintain high customer empathy truly set them apart.
Watching Ben in action, demonstrating leadership, deep technical knowledge, and genuine care for our home, was a refreshing experience. This has been one of the most positive encounters we've had with home maintenance. Kudos to Ben and Jonathan for their outstanding work!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

My toilet was clogged this morning. I called for help and I have to say that the entire team was extremely professional. I called at 8:30am, they said they would send someone by 1pm but they resolved it by 12:15pm. Ramiro came out to assist us. He called to say he was on the way, he was patient, consultative and very professional. I would recommend Ramiro and EJ Home Services. Thank you for helping me.

They have lost me as a customer. Very disappointed with the poor service. I had been struggling with removing an old hose piece that was stuck on an outdoor faucet. In addition i wanted some old pipes in the backyard removed. They spent what seemed like an hour coming up with a ridiculous quote, competed the job in 5 minutes and spent the next 2 hours coming up with estimates for doing five other items for the house which included changing the water heater, replacing the pipes that lead to the sewer etc. etc.
The worst part is they ended up mangling the faucet so I am now unable to attach a new hose to it. For the ridiculous amount of money they took, they didn't even bother to check if they had damaged the faucet. They didn't solve the main problem I had asked them to solve instead created a whole new problem for me.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

EJ Plumbing Customer CareAug 9, 2023Previous reviewIsaac and Lenny solved a problem in 10 minutes that we had left alone for year and a half anticipating an expensive and labour intensive solution. We had an issue with a shower that wasn't providing enough hot water and our previous plumbers had quoted an expensive solution that involved changing the mixer. Isaac immediately knew what the problem was and fixed it before we knew it. It was an absolute delight to have this problem solved so efficiently that we were previously anticipating to spend a lot of money and time on. Highly recommend EJ Plumbing

We needed a water heater replaced. Called the office about 8am and was told to expect someone from 9a-12p. Issac showed up a couple of minutes after 9am.
He explained our options and answered our questions carefully, then went ahead with installing the replacement we chose. The whole thing was finished by noon.
Happy with the service from start to finish.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Edit: the business replied below that they stand by their decision to work our insurance. Of course they do! They know my deductible situation and it doesn't make sense for me to pay higher premiums for no financial benefit here....very very shady business practices. I also saw that this is a common theme amongst the negative reviews for them.
So I also stand by my strong recommendation above: if you're looking to EJ, maybe look at somewhere else instead - EJ may just end up costing you more money and hassle ¯\_(ツ)_/¯Helpful 4Thanks 3Love this 3Oh no 1Business owner information

Dear Reader, and James.
We want to assure you that we take this matter seriously and are committed to promptly helping you in resolving it. As mentioned through out multiple conversations, we are more than willing to collaborate on a comprehensive investigation with your home insurance to help your issue be resolved. As mentioned before, we have before and after pictures of our work, and if that crack was caused by us, the dye from the dye pill we dropped in your tank while doing your work would be all over where the water leaked. However, it didn't happen as we left, or else everywhere the water leaked would be marked by dye.
Again, we recommend involving your home warranty provider to conduct an independent assessment and generate a report on the findings. We commit to fully cooperating with the home warranty provider in providing necessary information and insights.
I'm sorry for your review, but we stand by our diagnosis and decision to cooperate with your home insurance.Jan 15, 2024Previous reviewWe needed to have the water pump inside the toilet tank to be replaced as it was consistently leaking water. We reached out via Yelp to request service on January 2nd, and it was scheduled for January 4th (Thursday). Two workers came out on the day of to inspect issue. They quickly gave me a price estimate of $275 (all-in) to replace the pump and fix the issue. I agreed and they got to work. After the fix, they flushed once to show that it was working as intended, and then left after we paid.
That evening, my family and I noticed that the pump would still sometimes get stuck after flushing and would not stop filling the tank with water. We had to fix this adhoc by flushing again and hoping the problem goes away. We wanted to wait to see if the problem goes away before reaching out EJ Plumbing.
Three days later (following Monday), we noticed that the water tank itself has been leaking water slowly. We turned off the water supply and planned on calling EJ Plumbing the next day as it was late in the day when we noticed.
The next day (Tuesday Jan 9th), we woke up to see that the water tank's crack has gotten much worse and has been leaking the water in the tank rapidly. This has gotten to the floor. We immediately called EJ plumbing and they asked the original workers to come check out the issue.
The original workers arrived and checked out the issue, called the office, and told us that their office would call us that afternoon to go over the paperworks. When I asked them about liability, the workers said that this was entirely their fault as they must have caused some damage to the tank while repairing it 5 days ago. One of the worker repeatedly assured me that EJ Plumbing will take care of everything as it is their fault.
That evening, I called EJ Plumbing as they had not reached back out, and a manager by the name of Luis took the call. Not only was this person unapologetic about the incident, he was adamant that this situation is in no way related to their service. He kept mentioning how much proof he has from pictures his workers took from the inspections and how his many years of experience in this field would allow him to convince any third party that this is their liability. He refused to acknowledge the possibility that this is caused by their work, and he also straight up said that his worker should not have said what they said earlier about this being their fault. He kept insisting that we somehow broke the water tank and wanted to blame them for it, which is ridiculous as we are busy professionals and would not benefit from doing so. What's worse is that my insurance deductible is higher than the financial cost to fix the whole thing, so it is not worthwhile for me go that route.
This kind of situation is exactly the worst nightmare when it comes to hiring any contractors, where they not only failed to fix the original issue, but cause much bigger damage and refuse to be accountable for the situation. If you're looking for a plumber, stay away from EJ Plumbing and their predatory practices, terrible customer experience, and shoddy worksmanship!
