O'Grady was quick to come out to snake and scope my downspout pipes for a decent price. They were supposed to return to replace some pipe sections, but stood me up twice with no explanation. After I called several more times, they completely ghosted me. Definitely don't recommend. Very hit and miss service and poor management by the owner. Poor customer service.

Just had amazing plumbing service from O'Grady Plumbing. They were able to promptly get me scheduled on a holiday weekend no less! Brendon was excellent at his job -- very patient, answered all of my questions, and importantly provided excellent service. We experienced a backup in our sewer line; and he came prepared to fix it. Love O'Grady Plumbing and would definitely recommend their services!

PS - Apologies if I misspelled Brendon's name

From the service techs to the owner, dealing with this company is a joke. I very regrettably hired O'Grady to simply look at a leaky faucet. They ended up flooding my kitchen twice over 6 days, damaging my cabinets and floors, and then over-billing me.

Afterwards, I spent weeks calling and emailing (if they answer, they tell you to email your concerns so the owner can call you back). Never received a callback or any concern for the damage they caused.

When they first looked at the faucet, they said I needed a full replacement which would cost $700. That seemed very steep, but I was concerned

The company was referred by my utility insurance company when I had an emergency issue of water being backed up into the bathtub. I apologize for forgetting the 2 gentlemen's name that came by to fix the problem since this happened 2 months ago, but they were prompt and very friendly! Their work is extremely professional since I haven't gotten another backup since their repair, but if roots do happen to seep into the pipe once more (since it's a seasonal problem) I'll be sure to ask for O'Grady again!!

I called and got an appointment the day after. They were running a little behind and gave me a ring which I appreciated. Brandon came out and solved my problem in a few minutes. He was a very nice polite and approachable human. Love O'Grady plumbing, a local SF business that treats its customers fairly. Thx Again!

I called these guys to unclog a shower drain.

Another plumber had been through, attempted to snake, and failed. That other plumber suggested spending $3000 cutting holes in walls and tossing pipes around.

O'grady's guy simply snaked the pipe correctly/successfully.

Pricing was not cheap but was fair.

The one downside is that they no-showed for the first appointment. However, they made up for it by getting things done on a second appointment the next day.

They are hard workers working straight from when the time they arrived at 10am until 4:30pm. They came out to replace a broken sewer line near the cleanout. They did not take a bathroom break or lunch hour. Instead they ate their sandwiches standing up even though I setup some chairs for them to sit down and take a break. What made their work efforts extra ordinary was the job was harder than anticipated. When I reported seeing dry toilet paper fragments near the cleanout in the street before they came, I was not aware the sewer line was mostly clogged. There was no sign of sewage or smell in the

My wife's workplace had very good experience with O'Grady Plumbing Technician (Matteo) who cleared a kitchen sink drain problem in the Lunch Room recently. I was glad to have Matteo to work on the two problems at home on July 1, 2020. He cleared both the bathroom sink drain and kitchen sink drain problems and kept the areas clean while working on the problems. He also gave me several tips for preventive maintenance. Matteo, Thank you.

I've worked with Paul on a number of projects and always found him to be both knowledgeable and professional. When I had a Victorian, seemed like there was always something wrong with the old fixtures. Luckily Paul and his team have lots of experience with those think.

Thank you! Appreciate the hard work.

Hmm, I see O'Grady's response below, which I think is a copout. We are in their system for multiple appointments over the years. I wish they'd taken our feedback as a way of improving their quality and reliability, rather than dodging it.

For the past 7+ years we were having problems with our downstairs toilets causing major clogs and periodic flooding in our basement. It has truly been a nightmare to deal with. After 8+ plumbers giving random ideas that never worked I was referred to o’Grady who solved an extremely complex problem. I was on the verge of breaking ground and redoing piping until Mateo and Brendan from O’Grady came to the rescue. They ran the camera for hours and they were able to locate a piece of metal in the pipe that was causing the severe clogging. Mateo attached a magnet to his camera and was able to snake

This review is for their driving. I was on evans this afternoon and one of their drivers decided to just backup halfway in their garage and in turn blocked the entire right lane. I honked to let him know we were there and he stuck his hand out and flipped me off. Completely unprofessional as all he had to do was back up a bit more so he wasn't blocking entire lane. This company seems to lack professionalism.

Satisfactory work. I would not recommend calling them in for an emergency situation. The "emergency" markup was staggering. They knew I was in a bind and charged 3x+ on labor. I had little choice at that point. Lesson learned.

It took a long time to uncover the mystery of the sewer leak - but the repair for this major problem only took 2 1/2 days.

Many thanks - these guys know what they're doing - and their price is right too.

Plumbers arrived on time and cleared a stubborn kitchen sink clog. When they finished I had them check the drainage in my tub and they found a band-aid that was slowing down the down flow. The technician noticed that my shower head was loose and fixed it without my even asking or charging me extra. This is excellent service and will use this company recommended by my landlord any time I have a plumbing issue.

These guys did a stellar job. They came out on super-short notice the very same day to do a water heater replacement installation that didn't necessarily qualify as "urgent" (not to anyone but the tenant).

They were also extremely honest, quoting us every detail and even letting us know that, because the broken unit was still under warranty FROM THE MANUFACTURER (not from O'Grady Plumbing or from any other plumbing company, mind you), they wouldn't be charging us for it and would instead charge us only for labor.

Since there was no way we would have known that the unit

I have had a recurring issue with my toilet that had become a real embarrassment when I had guests over. Other companies have given me estimates to fix it / replace it, but it was just too pricey. When I finally called O'Grady plumbing they informed me it didn't have to cost me an arm and a leg. I was sold on a low flow toilet that will actually save me money in the long run. Plus the staff was very knowledgeable and courteous, which goes a long way with me

I had been trying to find an plumber for some fixes and new installations. Most often appointments were made and never kept. Finally I found O'Grady Plumbing. They were reliable, knowledgeable and reasonable with prices. I am very satisfied with their results.
