C & K Drain Plumbing Repair

Same day appointment. Quality work. Inexpensive. Really, just a fantastic plumber!

Called this morning, right on time.
C&K very honest fast and reliable.
Always calling him.
Get the job done very quickly.
Go C&K! Don’t look anywhere else for plumbing, sewer or any other related work.

Still 5 stars for him. I just noticed that my initial review was from 2007 and I have used him for two other jobs since then and will be calling him this week for a 4^th job. He is still awesome, honest, and fixes problems fast. Never calling another plumber again!

I will hire this plumber anytime!
I had him over twice, and each time he came within the hour. Great service, very thorough, fair and decent price. Very courteous. Most recommended !

I’m writing this review for the service from Mr. R.O. yesterday — a Sunday.
My water heater stopped working on a Sunday. With 2 little ones in the home ready for a shower, you can imagine the mess. I called around, ran into answer machines at most of the places; some of the top rated «Water heater repair» shops do answer the phone on a Sunday but the best they can do is the next day — and their prices are definitely not cheap.
Then I found C&K. They are the closest to my home. I read the reviews — looks decent, nothing wrong with the few negatives. Water heater repair apparently is not their main business but according to Unilocal they do provide this service.
So I called. Yes as some reviews said, communication is not super. But well, I’m not looking for an English teacher. I need to spell my address 4 – 5 times and I’m not sure if he gets it right. But to my pleasant surprise, he said he can come to my home in 5 minutes — that’s 5pm on a Sunday.
And my doorbell rang after about 10 minutes. Wow.
Mr. RO took a quick look at the water heater, gave me a very reasonable price ($ 50~$ 100 less than the other water heater shops) — well, my GE WH is pretty new and I guess the problem is very common/​well-​known anyway. And he said he can fix it immediately. And so he did. And I had hot water after an hour.
What more do I need to say?
One thing I’m very sure is — if next time I have a plumbing issue or water heater issue or something C&K can handle, I don’t need to call other places.

He was terrific, came right on time at 9am. He was polite, got the job done and gave me advice on how to prevent the sink clog from happening again. Highly recommended

I was at my wits end with a clogged kitchen drain last week of December. Called a few places, one never called back, two never showed up, and one quoted a ridiculous high price. All were recommended. Thought I would check Unilocal out what did I have to lose? Gained a plumber for life! Made an appointment he came right on time, worked very hard to unclog my drain and it was not easy. The price was more than fair. I really appreciated his hard work. Will recommend him and will use him again.

Excellent customer service. Called around 1PM to ask for plumbing service and they showed up after 3 hours. I believe they speak Korean but could be wrong. I like how they would teach you to solve and prevent plumbing issues. Great work, C&K!

This review is for his service from 2 weeks ago. I had a bathroom faucet leak that I had tried to repair myself by replacing the cartridge, but I somehow messed it up.
Throwing in the towel on my self-​repair, I called for an appointment earlier in the week and was able to schedule a morning slot (9 a.m.) for Thursday. I actually had to reschedule and Mrs. Ro was very accommodating!
He was very prompt, showing up a few minutes before 9 a.m. and set to work. Mr. Ro quickly identified the problem and had spare parts on hand (spring and seal below the cartridge). In putting the faucet back together he asked if I had an allen wrench, which I found. It turns out he had his own with a stubby short leg (I hadn’t seen one before) and demonstrated how it was easier to turn since it could clear the faucet handle more easily than mine could.
Very friendly, efficient quality service.

What a great guy! Called him at 8:30 am on a Friday and he got to my place in 30 minutes. Don’t get fooled by the fact that English is their second language. These are honest, hardworking people.
He could have taken $ 150 from me easy, but my problem was responsibility of the city. He told me to call them up and let them fix it for free.
Mr Ro only asked me $ 20 for the trouble of getting to my place. More than fair!
This is integrity and work ethic! In this day and age, very rare to find!

Mr. Ro is awesome, he worked very hard for us in a heavy raining day, and fixed our problem at once.

Found out the toilet was logged late afternoon. Called a few plumbers and only C&K could get me an appointment next morning 9a. If you’re in plumbing business, you know when some one calls it’s almost aways an emergency. So the quicker you can come the better.
C&K seems to be a husband and wife Korean family business, and I support small businesses whenever I can. From other reviews, I suppose the husband’s name is Mr. Ro. He showed up on time. Although he didn’t say what the price was, I asked and he gave me a reasonable quote before starting to job. He took the time to get the job done and also cleaned up the toilet afterward! He also give out a few tips to prevent future mishaps. He didn’t have an invoice for the work and won’t accept credit card. Check or cash payment will do.

Top rating for this very reliable and good plumber
I called in the morning, and his wife answered. I was able to get an appointment the same day
He came right on time, cleared my drains and charged a very reasonable rate (cheaper than some other services I’ve used in the past)
Mr. Ro was also very nice and polite
He and his wife speak english as a second language, but it was no problem. We were able to talk just fine
After he cleared my drain, I asked about possibly replacing a leaking faucet outside. He could have probably replaced it at a big cost to me, but instead he adjusted it for free. Really nice of him.
I definitely recommend him, and won’t be using any other plumber in the future

1: I’ve never had to call back later. I always get an answer on the first try.
2: When an appointment is made, it’s kept. Allowing wiggle room is a must for any service like this, as you never know what might have gone wrong at their last stop. If he expects to be more than 10 minutes late, he calls.
3: Polite! Friendly! He always takes off his shoes at the door, and asks how my son is doing at school.
4: The work itself is flawless. He’s never had to leave and come back for anything. He seems to be always prepared, and HE CLEANS UP AFTER. I’ve had plumbers just leave a nasty mess in sinks and tubs before, but not with C&K.
5: Cost effective. Estimates are not given over the phone because she isn’t in charge of deciding prices. He will name a price after the work is done. It’s not ‘cheap’, but its also nowhere near as ridiculous as others have made it out to be. Why do you pay for New Balance running shoes when you can get 20 dollar sneakers at Wal Mart? Exactly.
Areas He’s worked on in my (Santa Clara City) house: guest toilet, guest shower, master bath sink, kitchen sink. I am 100% satisfied with all the work he’s done. I wish I could give ten stars!

Our family is super impressed w/​Mr. Ro’s plumbing services. He has helped us with clogged pipes, broken garbage disposals, etc. He is able to quickly diagnose and fix each problem, and he’s so prompt and humble and courteous. His prices are also much more reasonable than many other competitive plumbers’ quotes. Definitely Mr. Ro will be our go-​to plumber from now on!

We have been a long time customer of Mr. Ro. Maybe close to 10 years now. All of the plumbing problems we have he is able to fix. I can only give my highest recommendation!

Mr. Ro fixed our house at Los Padres several timea. He is very helpful, and always take time to find the root cause. We are the now the long term customer :)

Excellent service! RO did a phenomenal job clearing our clogged shower drain. Although our house has very old pipes, RO carefully and meticulously cleaned the drains for the entire house. I would highly recommend RO for plumbing. Very humble and nice person. Communication might be a slight problem but definitely manageable because he is extremely reasonable than any other plumbing company.

Well I was looking for a plumber and came across C&K. I dont have an emergency as I have another bathroom. They had mostly good reviews so heck yea I called. I read the reviews that the english isn’t that great but i dont really care about that. So I called. And that is all about that came from it or that I can rate. Yes the english isn’t that great and maybe that is what the problem was. So they say they are in Santa Clara and service surrounding areas. Apparently they dont come to Milpitas… OK on to find someone else.

Mr Ro is the most honest and reliable plumber. My family has been calling him to the house for various plumbing issues for years and he has always been polite, efficient, hard working and on time. It is nice to patronize a local small business too. He always gets the job done and does not leave a mess. We have mostly used him for clogged drains and lines. His prices are extremely reasonable and he has given us discounts as a repeat customer. So what if his wife/​receptionist is a bit challenging to understand-​the job gets done!
