Ron called and arrived on time as promised. He listened to my explanation of the issues and asked questions for clarity. Ron was very personable, giving me the time i needed to get my thoughts straight. He LISTENED and carefully explained the issues, options and costs so that I could make the right decision for me. Ron was respectful of my home and of me. I would have no hesitation in recommending Ron and Yellow Submarine.

We were very pleased with the company and our tech, Ron. He did a thorough inspection, advised us of his findings and the repairs. Walked us through the entire process. Everything is like new and working perfectly! Highly recommend Yellow Submarine Plumbing.

Ron squeezed me in his busy day and come in the same day I called. Ron is very knowledgeable and experienced. He explained to me how the system works and the options of resolutions with different price range. Ron is very thorough and did a great job during the process and at the end he even show me the results by using a micro camera going into the pipe line to see inside condition which I never seen it before, it was very cool! At the end of the job, Ron cleaned up the site spotlessly. Very well done Ron, Thank you so much!

What I appreciated most was his honesty and transparency—just solid work and practical advice to prevent future clogs.
I highly recommend Yellow Submarine Plumbing & Rooter. Reliable, skilled, and easy to deal with.

Hands down the best service from Rob at Yellow submarine. He was polite, efficient, professional and cleaned up like he wasn't even there. He was in a situation where he was having to work in busy resort kitchen environment and was mindful of the staff working around him. And did I mention how tidy he was!! I also want to add that Adriana was awesome. It was a last minute emergency call at 3 and she made it happen! Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience. Would highly recommend Yellow submarine plumbing.
