Platero Parada Plumbing

We originally found Samuel as a top rated plumber in our area through NextDoor. He had come out to unclog a few of our lines soon after purchasing our new house and was communicative, efficient, and clean in the new house. We recently decided to start a laundry room renovation which required moving our hot water heater from the current mechanical closet and moving our washer/dryer hookups to another wall. Our old water heater was much past its useful life so we decided to fully replace it to heat pump electric utilizing the SMUD rebates. At the time, Platero Parada Plumbing was not a SMUD certified plumbing outfit, but we asked Samuel if he would be willing to apply for the rebate for us and within two hours he had submitted the paperwork. During the application process he discovered the water heater rebates were going to increase Feb 1, 2026, so we held off a couple extra days - the heads up saved us another grand. His crew came out and and worked late a couple days to make sure that we had hot water for showers in the morning which was much appreciated. They were very communicative throughout the process letting us know when they would arrive and their timeline each day of the process. During the process we decided we had to move the drain line a few inches to fit better behind the new washer/dryer unit. He happily made the change without charging us anything extra, even though he had to run back to the store to get a couple new connectors. We are now about a month in and everything is working well and looks very clean and neat. They did an excellent job and went above and beyond to get certified by SMUD and push our SMUD rebate through. We highly recommend them and have given their business card to a number of our friends.

Responded very timely to a home plumbing emergency. A leak in a drain line in the sub floor of my 1959 home. Discussed all possible solutions and gave accurate quotes. The work was completed very efficiently and precisely. The city inspector reviewed his work and found it exceptional. Mr Platero was professional, answered all my questions, and communicated well with me during the repair. 10/10 would recommend

Samuel and his team are awesome! My wife and I bought an old 1926 home and encountered some serious plumbing issues with our sewer line. Samuel worked us into the schedule quickly, walked us through every step, and graciously answered every question we had. There were some funky things with both sewer clean outs being buried (near the house and in the backyard by the city main) and he suggested fixing this to make it easier to access in case we have future issues. He also helped us get trenchless installed and coordinated with the city for permits. We are so grateful to him and his team for solving our plumbing issues! We cannot recommend him enough and will definitely be calling him if we have other plumbing issues.
