Best Businesses in Oakland, CA

Dan is great at answering any question you might have as well as making sure all your construction/remodeling work goes according to codes.  Excellent service!

Very knowledgeable, efficient , professional and just a nice guy. Very reasonably priced. I will use him again for my plumbing needs. I highly recommend him.

This is a REAL yelp reviewer. See my actual reviews to confirm. I only say this because as I was searching for a plumber, there are lots of plumbing companies on yelp with five star reviews from yelpers who only have a couple of other reviews.Those are fake reviews and you should be careful of using those businesses.

That said, I was really lucky in find a real, honest, and responsive plumber. I requested an estimate from Smart Rooter yesterday evening around 7pm. Jim called me within 30 minutes and was at my parent's house in Alameda by 8pm unclogging their sewer system. He promptly finished clearing the line and found an old piece of plumbing stuck in the sewer left by my dad trying to fix a clog many years ago. Jim came back the next day and was able to remove the blockage without having to tear up the concrete foundation or remove any existing plumbing. My parents are super happy with his work. My mom was raving about Jim.

I highly recommend Smart Rooter & Plumbing!!!

Got several quotes to replace my water heater under warranty. Expensive and five says no hot water. X-Ray then came in at 2/3 the cost and next day service. We have hot water today! Professional, responsive, and affordable. We will use them again.

Thank you to Christian Coronado from plumbing guys. From the initial phone call to job completion was approximately one and half hours. He fixed the problem, main line back up, cleaned up the mess from the back up and visually inspected the main line for roots. Very fast and professional.  Thanks again Plumbing Guys, I am glad you guys for servicing the San lorenzo area.

These guys are fantastic!!! I cannot recommend them highly enough.  This is the second time I have had to call them in the last two months.  The first time they were the most responsive of all the plumbers I called for my tenant's emergency.  It was already the evening but they came at 8 a.m. the next morning and found the solution to what seemed like such a complicated problem ( two apartments sharing plumbing and one apt's drainage blocked so backing up in the neighboring apartment)  by finding an outflow on the outside of the house which had been cemented over.  Why previous plumbers had never found the cemented-over outflow I don't know.  But they fixed it and it was SO reasonable.  They also made sure I had a choice of what to do, and they recommended the cheaper way.  Today I had to call them again with no water coming out of the kitchen faucet.  I  couldn't figure it out so called them.  I got a call back immediately and he says, let me tell you how to fix it!!!! And it worked!!!!  Who says that..... These guys are the BEST.  They will be my got-to plumbers from now on.

Water heater went out on us on Thursday afternoon ethan arrived Friday at 10 and by noon we had hot water all thanks to Ethan.

I had a very slow tub drain and I called a couple of Plumbers and Rooter companies.  Albion plumbing was able to come out the same day and for $130 they were able to take care of everything.  They spent close to two hours and had to go into a tiny crawl space to look under the tub to check out the pipes and the direction they were going.

They were prompt, polite, and clean.  I will call them again if I have plumbing needs.

Excellent Conpany with fair prices. Mark Etie helped us out today. Mark was professional, helpful, prompt and really went above and beyond the job.  I will be loyal to Plumbing Solutions, thanks Mark!!!

Ben was really quick to respond to an issue we had and came over within a couple hours. We will definitely be calling him back for future fixes. Thank you!!

We needed to have our bathroom plumbing converted from a single sink to a dual sink vanity.  Roberto tackled this complicated job and did an outstanding job.  He is very talented and has a genuine passion for his work.  I'm glad I found a plumber who is trustworthy and has reasonable prices for his work.  I feel like I finally found a plumber that I wouldn't hesitate to call for future work!

Zayah was on time, knowledgeable, asked enough questions to make sure we were on the same page, but was unobtrusive and efficient. He diagnosed Missi ng parts we needed, took a quick trip to the store in my behalf, and replaced our disposal/repaired some broken sink plumbing quickly and cleanly. Strong recommend!

Anthony is so friendly and professional. My water heater went out and I'm located in San Jose. He was able to commute from Oakland to San Jose to remove the old water heater with a new one within 4 hours. He was so fast and efficient. I could've went with someone local in San Jose to replace my water heater but I heard great things about Anthony that i wanted to give him my business. A few months later one of my pipes in my master bedroom busted and again, Anthony came to the rescue! I truly appreciate good customer service and he provided that.

Our old water tank had been leaking and we had not discovered the leak for a while. I called Pipe Arts to come and determine the best set of next steps to pursue. Edgar was prompt, professional and knowledgeable. I thought he was expert and had much experience in his art. The first thing he did was drain the full tank so it didn't completely leak all over our house and cause further damage. This occurred during the initial consultation without payment. He had the tools in his truck and helped us out asap. I typically do not elect to go with lowest bid for a job but this time, I was confident after reading all the other Yelp reviews. His recommendations for a tankless heater to replace our traditional one was spot on. His pricing was great. As luck would have it, the unit mailed from Rinnai factory was missing an essential part. Edgar immediately called the factory to remedy the situation. He also stuck with us through all our questions after installation and made multiple trips back to our home to make sure things were working smoothly.
I definitely recommend his work. Very reliable and knowledgeable. And very responsive.i
He installed our tankless water heater back in April 2017.

The best pluming service I ever had. I called these guys  and they said they'll be in in 1 hour and they showed up in 30 min. Great service, professional, fast and reliable.

Working with Keiko and John was an absolute pleasure from beginning to end. i have back issues and needed a toilet installed. I asked for a few quotes on yelp and they were the first ones to get back to me. They had specific questions about my situation and quoted rates. They also worked with me scheduling a time that worked for me. John was really great when he arrived. The work was completed promptly and the price was reasonable. I will call directly for plumbing needs in the future and recommend them to my friends.

I really appreciate their making the special effort they made to come after hours to take care of an emergency plumbing leak for us the very same day. Thank you so much.

Tried a techniques I found online right before the plumber got here.  Oliver showed up did a visual check and said it all looks, good thank you very much !!!
