    As I said before, Jason was an excellent worker and a very nice, polite person. My problem is your pricing. I am forcibly retired and my funds are limited. I know businesses have to be profitable to exist but wow did I ever have sticker shock. I have used you for years but I may be forced to shop around in the future.

    We had a stopped kitchen drain that came on suddenly as family dinner was being prepared. I tried plunging the blockage, but got nowhere. Using Atherton's convenient online service request form to schedule an appointment, and had a plumber here at 8 AM the next morning! Ryan was efficient, pleasant, and informative as he got to work. He was able to feed a snake through the sink drain and clear the clog, which was found about 10 feet down the pipe. He cleared the line for about 40 ft to make sure the clog was gone. He cleaned up the sink area and was gone in about 45 minutes start to finish. And the work is warranted for 90 days. We're VERY happy with the work from Atherton Plumbing.

    We called Atherton Plumbing this morning and they had a technician out to our house within 45 minutes. He was extremely knowledgeable and worked with us to find the best solution to our current problem, as well as provide estimates for work we are considering for the future. I will call Atherton again and again if we need plumbing work done.

    Ryan and Atherton were awesome! The kitchen sink backed up around 6:30 the evening of 23 Dec. we had a houseful coming over for Christmas and the having no kitchen sink, disposal, or dishwasher was not part of the plan. I tried to clear it myself but no luck. Called several area plumbers and Friday was the first available for most. I finally found one that could do 12-5 on Christmas Eve and booked it. At 1:00 Christmas Eve that one called to reschedule for Friday due to an emergency job! Could not talk them into working something out. My wife told me to call Atherton because she had heard how good they were. So 1:30 Christmas Eve they booked me for a 12-4 slot! No trip charge, no premium time, just sending Ryan out. Got there around 4:00, cleaned the drain, and done. He was very personable and professional. Had a nice friendly chat and he squared us away. Price was very reasonable. Atherton will be at the top of my list next time around!

    I called Atherton Plumbing randomly because my water heater’s pilot light went out and I couldn’t get it to fire back up. Initially, I spoke with Susan (I believe that was her name) who was pleasant and helpful getting emergency service set up for me. Within an hour, Jerry arrived at my home and quickly resolved the issue (as it turns out, I wasn’t doing the process correctly to get the pilot fired back up). He was very amiable and explained everything that he was doing as he did it, which I really appreciated. He additionally did a walk-through to check the shutoff valves in my house and provided me with estimates to upgrade the valves that will eventually need to be replaced. He also provided me with other quotes for other potential repairs for the future. I am not someone easily impressed, but I was definitely impressed with the level of customer service and the friendliness of Susan and Jerry. When the need arises, I will definitely reach out to Atherton again in the future!
