Gateway Rooter & Plumbing

Day after Xmas, toilet overflows. I come here for tips and call them as they’re in the neighborhood. Junior is here within the hour, which is already a plus, At one point he says they might have to pull the toilet out to fix it, always a pain as our toilets are wall mounted (concrete floors, industrial building retrofit) and then I have to hire someone else to fix the wall.
But yay! He gets it done with no further trauma. And despite being a weekend it’s a reasonable price with a 30-​day guarantee. Other plumbing companies will take their time getting here, half heartedly take a stab at it and charge you even though the problem is still there. Go with Gateway.

This company is really good! Fast, attentive and they were able to get the job done despite the fact that I called on a very short notice! I won’t hesitate to call these guys again in the future. I absolutely recommend Gateway Rooter & Plumbing to everyone.

Had a great experience with Daniel regarding a broken hot water heater.
Daniel diagnosed the problem had the replacement part on his truck and fixwd the problem immediately.
Also: Daniels price was under the price that 2 other plumbers quoted.
Then Daniel fixed a water pressure problem at the kitchen sink that another plumber had tried and failed to fix 6 months previously.
I highly recommend Gateway Rooter & Plumbing !

They came on short notice to install a toilet. They did a good job and their price was very reasonable. Can’t really ask for more.

Had a bad clog in the shower pipes and they came by and got the job done. Jr was nice and easy going answering any questions.

They were great! Very responsive and they were able to come the same day. They explained everything and were upfront about costs. They were a little late getting here– but really I was just happy they could come the same day!

They were great. Did a great job on rerouting my plumbing and installing the sink, were timely for the most part and much less than the 3 other quotes and no surprises with the estimate. Also recommended a great electrician. I’d use them again.

We woke up to a plumbing emergency (on a Saturday) & these guys were there within an hour. Within a couple of hours, they not only fixed the problem but also put a camera down our pipes to diagnose what caused it. Plumbing tends to get expensive fast so I was super psyched that they gave us an estimate under $ 200 and stuck to it. They were great, reasonably priced, professional, & nearby; would definitely call again.

I hired them again to install a water filtration system and let me tell you they are wonderful! I would highly recommend them. Honest, great prices and friendly. What more can you ask for from your plumber? Highly recommend Gateway Rooter!

These guys were great! Gave them a call, there were at my door in like 20 min. We’re super fast fixing a clogged drain. There in the neighborhood, and would for sure recommend them. great price also!

Daniel and Junior are always super quick to respond and know how to fix it fast. I’ve been working with them for years at my restaurants in the mission and they simply are the best. Daniel even knows some amazing card tricks he might show you if you ask nice enough.

These guys are great. They came in and helped us with a sewer emergency in my building’s basement.
First visit they rooter-​ed the drain, cleaned up the mess and provided us with an estimate for the replacement of the clogged pipe.
Their estimate was reasonably priced, and they did the work fast and thoroughly, and kept us well informed throughout the process. Highly recommend Gateway Rooter.

I called and left a message. Within 5 minutes they returned my call («we’ll be right there») and in 15 more I had a fixed toilet. All this, after 3 hours of trying to fix it myself and scouring How-​To articles and YouTube videos online for tricks. I could have hugged the plumber (actually, maybe I did).

Great service! Arrived within 30 minutes and fixed the problem within minutes. The service guy even took his shoes off before entering my apt!

Came in 15 min, fixed the problem immediately. No complaints about the service and was quoted $ 110 on the phone. Price was fairly steep but can’t beat 15 minute wait time for something that needed to be fixed right away.
When I wait to pay he offered me a discount off the $ 110 quote. He said $ 80 if you Unilocal so here’s my review.

Great guys. Most affordable price on the market. Our gentleman came over, brought in big machines, climbed out windows, went downstairs to inspect things, fixed additional problems, worked very hard to resolve things, and then cleaned up afterward.
I will note, however, that if you schedule an appointment, you should CALL AND CONFIRM the day prior, or the day of. These guys don’t have secretaries, and I think he was appreciative that I reminded him.

4 toilets overflowing at work yesterday. I didn’t call my regular plumber because I needed this fixed right away. They snaked the main line and even put a camera down the drain to make sure they got it. Definitely try these guys they kick ass. Price was good too.

It was the day after the Giants won the World Series and we had a plumbing issue (over flowing toilet every hour, really gross) that needed prompt attention.
I called at least 10 plumbers and I think everyone was still recuperating from the night because nobody answered and only 2 called me back, Gateway Rooter being the first.
They were a little tardy, but the communicated with me that they were running late (and I wasn’t too surprised given the amount of construction around my neighborhood… zero parking spots) so really no issue there.
The reason for the 5 stars is because they were professional, friendly and cleared up our messy problem in 5 minutes flat. They were also reasonably priced (in my book, anyway… I’m not sure what the going rate is for plumbing services but it felt reasonable to me) and I would recommend them to anyone.

I would give Daniel and Jr a 10 star.
I had a tough clogged because when they built the pipes for the toilet, they used the wrong fitting so the snake would end up in the wrong direction, it went toward the kitchen sink. We tried to do it ourselves but no luck. We called another plumber and he gave up after 5 minutes.
So I went on Unilocal and found Daniel. Gave him a call and scheduled to come in the morning. They arrived 30 mins earlier than scheduled. I explained the situation to him and he brought all his equipment, unlike the other guy. Camera, jetter, small, medium and large nake, and whatever you can think of. It was tough but Daniel and Jr never gave up. The eventually go the clog after 90 mins. I was so relieve, giving that it took us a couple of days and two different plumbers. And guess what he was really really affordable giving the amount of time he spent on it.
I will differently call him again if I have another plumbing issue.

I have used Gateway Rooter a number of times over the last few years and have had very good experiences each time.
Daniel is super chill and gets the work done. I’ve never felt stiffed or price gouged, he charges very reasonable rates and gets the work done on time.
My last project for him was the biggest. I had been having problems with my basement studio flooding each time there was a decent storm in San Francisco and although he had been snaking my drains, and he even rebuilt one of them, the water was leaking in from the basement door sill and other places.
I had been calling contractors to my house to fix the problem and each contractor had different ideas on how to fix the problems. One contractor even said it could cost up to $ 50k to replace the back wall of my house since he thought the problem could be caused dry rot. OMG, that scared the hell out of me.
I called Daniel to come out and see if he had any ideas about why my basement studio was flooding and we decided that the problem was 2 fold:
1) The upper level outdoor drain needed to be enlarged so that all the water could drain out since the current drain was pretty small.
2) Most likely the leaking issue over my door sill in the basement studio was happening because the gutters had never been cleaned and the rain was running down the side of my house instead of draining down the gutter drains.
Once he enlarged the upper outdoor drain and replaced the gutter and pipe that goes into the sewer the rain stopped coming into my house. I also had another gutter company come out and replace the other gutter and drain because Daniel did not have the correct type of ladder to get to that part of my roof. After all this work was done my leak problem that had been plaguing me for a few years ceased. I did not have to pay $ 50k to fix the problem and only paid a couple of thousand all together.
I am very happy with the work that Daniel does and will be loyal customer from now on. Thanks Daniel!
