George at Lifesaver Plumbing & Rooter was fantastic. Long story short: We had a waterline repair in Walnut Creek after an outdoor water faucet spigot and shutoff valve sheared off.

I found Lifesaver Plumbing on Yelp when I had a leak in my shower. George called back right away and scheduled a time to come over to fix the leak. The job turned out to be a little more difficult than I realized due to very old fixtures and pipes. George did a full diagnostic review of the pipes and faucets in and…

Whoa. This is the team you want to call. The five star reviews are true. I have a double sink that had one clogged and it was clogged for three years (I know.). We thought it was our dishwasher that was causing it but we bought a new dishwasher and the right side of sink still clogged. Last week it started leaking…

We discovered water coming up out of our first floor shower drain at 11pm and booked George for the next morning. He came on time, quickly gave us our options, and fixed the issue. He was knowledgeable, respectful, and kind. I’d hire George again in a heartbeat!

I hired George at Lifesaver Plumbing to finish a challenging job in progress. I had multiple sewer pipes broken under a thick slab with unevenly compacted soil. This was a job that many groups turned down (one stopped working on it) but he came in with an excellent plan to get everything connected and secured. There…
