MC Plumbing & Drain

Carlos is awesome — I must agree with a previous reviewer’s comment that he is a «Mexican John Rambo». I had a plastic object stuck in my toilet, and after calling another plumber and having been told that I would probably have to just buy a new toilet, I’m so glad I decided to call someone else and found Carlos. He was able to quickly remove the item without even removing the toilet and saved me a bunch of dough! Thanks Carlos, you da man!

Water heater broke down & leaked all over the garage in middle of a cold spell and had to be replaced.
Carlos was easy to reach and came by on same day to give me an assessment and by the next day, the heater was in place and running well. He was easy to work with, helpful, flexible and professional. I would recommend him.

Just had this guy come by and rooter a lateral line. One of the most straight up guys I’ve ever done business with. Before calling him I called a plumber from the peninsula that I knew… didn’t get a call back for 5 hours. Called MC Plumbing, he picked up right away, told him what was going on, he gave me a quote and a time that he’d be by… and he came through with both. Totally stoked to have met Carlos. He showed up, took a quick look at what was going on, grabbed his tools and blew it out literally in a matter of minutes. Double checked the drains to make sure they were flowing both at the clean out at the house and street side. Carlos wrote us an invoice on the spot with his iPad, emailed it over and got paid. His rate was totally fair, he could have charged double and we still would have been more than happy with his punctuality and professionalism. I’m a contractor and I deal with flakes and guys trying to upsell you on everything including simple service call. I’ve already given his cards out to two people and it’s only been three hours since he’s left. Can’t say enough good stuff about MC Plumbing. Great guy, great service, if you have a back up or clog in a toilet/​shower/​sink… Do yourself a solid and give this guy a call. This job was for my grandmother’s house and even she was thrilled given the situation.

«You never know what you have until it’s gone.»
Ain’t that the truth? Never have I known a proverb to be proven so heartbreakingly accurate until now. Let’s rewind a little bit. Walk with me.. .
I still remember our first meeting… she was beautiful. She just sat there, selflessly inviting me to sit down, as she immediately provided the relief I so desperately needed. I emptied my soul that day. It was disgusting. Yet, there she was, hardly making a sound, taking it all in. She never complained. Not once. I knew I’d see her again… I had to.
From that day, we began seeing one another quite often. In fact, I’d visit her at least 4 or 5 times a day just to let it all out. Looking back I guess I could have treated her better. I mean, think about it, there she was, providing comfort through some of my shittiest moments, and all I did was stand there and piss all over her. She sure did see the asshole in me. But I was blind, and failed to acknowledge all of the shit that she put up with. Until that night.. .
There I was, taking my evening piss, when suddenly this bitch decided she no longer wanted to flush it down. She had had enough, and wasn’t gonna take anymore of my shit. What could I do??? I tried everything! A plunger, nope! A wire hanger, nope! A snake, nope! I even tried my dick, with hopes of getting real deep, nothing! NOTHING WORKED! I began to cry, as she threatened to start pouring my own piss back onto my award-​winning toes. Then I had a plan.. .CALL CARLOS!!!
I’ve only lived in San Jose for four years, so I’m not completely accustomed to the city’s ins and outs, however, it only took me a week before I was fully aware of Mr. Carlos Campos’ reputation in (and out) of the plumbing community. This motherfucker carried around more street-​cred than the entire Eastside combined. And that’s exactly the kind of man I needed. This wasn’t a job for some little bitch, I needed Carlos.
Within seconds of placing the call, there was a knock on the door. A quick glance through the peephole left me looking into the eyes of a Mexican John Rambo. This motherfucker meant business. With fear of him opening my door with a rocket launcher, I quickly unlocked it and let him in. He walked in carrying tools and a game face, and immediately filled my house with a scent that can best be described as a combination of fornication, the jungles of Vietnam, war, a 13-​inch switchblade and freedom. It smelled amazing.
Before I could even point him into the direction of our restroom, he was digging deeper into my toilet than I ever could. As I watched, I felt a wave of emotions take over my entire body. I was nervous. I mean, I didn’t want to lose her. But above everything else, I was envious. How can a complete stranger treat her like such a gentleman, meanwhile, I’ve been R. Kellying this bitch for the last four years? I was so confused.
It didn’t take long before my confusion was turned into happiness. Carlos saved her. He saved me.. .he saved us. Turns out, I wasn’t to blame. It wasn’t my piss, it wasn’t my shit, it wasn’t my selfishness. In fact, it was the green racquetball my 2-​year-​old daughter decided to flush down the toilet earlier that evening. Great job, Brookie!
I learned a lot that day, and sometimes, I still think about Carlos. He brought us closer as a family, and taught us that life is a balance between giving and taking. I will never forget that night.. . I will never forget Carlos.
Shit, piss and jokes aside, Carlos Campos was incredible. We called him on a random Tuesday night, around 9:45pm, with no real expectations of him being available. However, he proved us wrong. He arrived quickly, was incredibly friendly, and did amazing work. If that wasn’t enough, he pretty much turned me into a sex predator, because the price he charged us was so ridiculously inexpensive, I damn near felt as if I just raped him. I couldn’t recommend him enough, or give a higher praise! Next time you take a shit, think of Carlos, he just might save your life!

Carlos is amazing! I had a leaking faucet, clogged drain and some wiggly handles. He took care of all of my problems in a honest and professional manner! Do yourself a favor and call Carlos if you need a plumber!
