It was not an emergency to replace my hot water heater but it was no longer functioning properly and was at the end of its expected life. Water Heaters Only came out and reviewed the options with me and did a site review. Benny was the technician and was very thorough review with clear explanations to my questions. They gave a very competitive quote and significantly under the 3 other plumbing outfits I called. We set up an appointment for the replacement on Aug 9, 2016 and Benny arrived in the window he provided. He was very efficient and careful in his work, making sure everything was up to code and made some improvements on my hot water circulation piping with no extra charge. He finished in about 2-1/2 - 3 hours and left the area neat and clean. The Hot Water heater works great. This was a no hassle replacement experience. I would gladly use them again when needed - they did a great job at a lower cost than others. Benny is a real plus for WHO.

Helped with some advice that ultimately means I probably won't need any work done. How often does that happen?!

Extremely professional. Katrina answered my call and provided a clear overview of the services, cost, and estimated timeframe. I received a 15 minute warning call when Mario was on his way within the agreed upon window. Mario was very efficient and performed the service as expected.

I will only use MSK for my plumbing needs - my crazy roommate suspected our water was poisoned and unfit to drink or bathe in due to teeny, tiny black specs only she could see. She sublets from me so I felt bound to address her concerns even though I was fairly sure she was coo coo for coconuts (she has since been asked to leave our lovely home).
Dominic came out on a Sunday, checked everything including the water heater. No specs to be found - no surprise there! BUT he did find the water heaters vent was completely disconnected and allowing carbon monoxide to free flow into the house.
Yikes!
Not only did he run to the store to buy the stuff he needed to replace and fix it, he came back later that day because he had concerns that the sealer he used wasn't up to snuff and purchased a higher grade to reapply right then and there. What?! Are you kidding?!?
This guy is amazing. Professional, quiet, quick and like I said before, my dog loves him. He also didn't charge me extra to come on a Sunday to deal with craziness, his pricing is extremely reasonable. This guy rocks.

Adolfo was extremely responsive, by text and phone. He showed up and allowed me to coordinate the payment through my landlord and even returned later in the day to finish the job. He snaked our shower drain and we haven't had any issues since. Would recommend Adolfo to anyone in the Bay Area.

Very professional and reliable would recommend 100%. Hector is very knowledgeable and honest. He came to our office to fix some lose tiles and we were more than pleased with his work. He was punctual and explained the work he did to the very last detail.

We had a broken garbage disposal unit replaced.
Bill can be a bit irritating but he does good work for a reasonable price, is scrupulously honest, and is available on short notice, a rare combination in any home repair person.
I would certainly use him again.

I feel very fortunate to have found Michael. He is an exceptional professional in every way: knowledgeable, a pleasure to work with, prompt, provides ample information and answers all questions clearly, while providing excellent service at a very reasonable price. He encouraged us to follow up on warranty coverage and in both cases we were sent parts covered by limited lifetime warranties in one case for a part we purchased 15 years ago. If you are concerned about whether he is as good as the Yelp reviews, our experience has been consistent with five star service and as one other review states always a pleasure.

Had a problem on Tuesday - laundry room and kitchen sinks backing up into tub in bath - YIKES! Called Lett, they had someone out next day between 1:30 and 3:30. (it wasn't an emergency so I said I could wait.) Steve called at 1:36 to say he was on his way, job was finished by 2:30. Professional service, job well done, very fair price and now my plumbing works again! Can't recommend Letts enough, especially since I've had a bad experience with another plumbing company in the last year.

Mr. Fix It Right Plumbing did an awesome job at responding to my S.O.S. request for a sewer lateral. I'm in the middle of construction and had no idea that a sewer lateral was required based on new City of Oakland/Public Works rules. Brian of Mr. Fix It Right Plumbing responded same day, provided a quote and pulled the permits on my behalf! They are competitively priced and they put in a full day of work to get the job done and to make sure I passed inspection. I will definitely use them again.

The technician didn't finish the diagnostic before providing a quote and then charged a few hundreds of dollars for just resetting a circuit.

It amazes me to see people whining about prices. If you are price sensitive, it's your right to shop around. It doesn't seem fair to slam a business just because you think they are expensive. If you only want to save money, take the time to learn a trade, and try to do it yourself. You will find in most cases, you get what you pay for. If you don't have the time or energy for that, and you want totally competent, reliable, trouble-free service, call these guys. We had a blocked sewer lateral, causing first floor sewage backups...not pretty. Steve came out on a Sunday, at no extra cost, ran the snake down the line & cleared the blockage. At this point, most companies would have thanked you, collected your money & left. Not Mr. Rooter. After the blockage (roots) was cleared, Steve pulled out a very high tech camera & ran it down the entire line. We observed the path all the way to the city sewer main. We saw a few more areas with some roots accumulated. Steve then took a larger cutting attachment for the snake & did another pass to clear the additional roots we saw. A final camera inspection confirmed the line was now completely clear and all was well. All of this came for the price of a nice meal in a good restaurant...and did I mention this took place on a Sunday??? I am totally impressed with the thoroughness, professionalism and VALUE this company provides. They have without question, earned my business!

I had a drain clogged up in a new house which is still under warranty. My builder's customer service initially resisted doing anything about it (Wanted to put it on me saying the house was used for almost an year, so have to be my fault) until I called them multiple times to get the plumber over. By this time I started seeing leaks from the walls and eventually the vent in my living room. The builder (Pulte) uses this company to provider emergency plumbing service and contacted this company to get someone out to me. Victor and Jeff came all the way from Oakland to San Jose so it took them a while for them to get to me. Once they were here, they did a great job making sure they root cause the issue properly. Victor partially cleared the clog last night, which at least made sure the leak stopped. He came back again this morning to get the tools to get access to the drain-out behind the sheet-rock. He eventually found a test plug was left there by the plumber who did the initial plumbing in my house. Now I've to deal with the builder to make sure there are no other leaks. I'd recommend Victor if you are looking for a plumber who is skilled and does a thorough job.

Very professional and honest. Came to the house and did the job. I recommend him for any sewer home inspections needed when putting your house up for sale.

I would like to highly recommend Yaro. He has done a whole-house repiping for fixing the H2O pipe burst under the slab. He is very professional and experienced and also very kind and easy to communicate with. I feel lucky to have him for my repair.

Professional and quick service! Recently moved to Marin County and had to relocate a water heater for my new home remodel and the process could not have gone smoother. The price was right and work was great quality! Will definitely use the company for any future projects and would highly recommend. Thanks Graham!

Plumbing Experts are great! While working with them to set up appointment, diagnostic and replacing our new water heater, could not have gone more smoothly. First and the most important, they responded almost immediately and came on the very next morning. Really great expertise all around. The same day, we had the old tank out replaced with new one, and again no issues again. We highly recommend this guys, it's quite a luck to find someone realisable those days.

I had posted a positive review for Big Blue back in 2020. This is the first time I have, unfortunately, had to delete the positive review and post a negative one. Our experience with Big Blue in 2020 was a postive one. More recently we had a subsequent positive experience, and had for all intents and purposes hoped to have Big Blue as our go to plumbing service going forward. Unfortunately, that is no longer the case based on our most recent experience. Big Blue replaced a toilet for us fairly recently. The toilet began leaking due to the seal under the toilet failing. This was under warranty since the toilet was recently installed. The Big Blue Rep came by and initially wanted to charge us for installing a new seal on the toilet until I explained that they recently installed the toilet and we should not be charged for this. He called the office and this was agreed on. However, a small angle valve on the back of the toilet was also leaking and replacing this was not part of the initial toilet replacement so we were informed that we would have to be charged for that. After the seal was replaced and the angle valve, we were informed the charge would be over $500.00. The Angle valve, which sells at home depot for $9.94 and which took just minutes to install, resulted in a bill of over $500.00? The replacing of the seal and the labor involved in that should not have incurred any labor costs since it was under warranty. We have tried repeatedly to call and get an answer as to why we were charged over $500.00 for a $9.00 piece to be replaced in just a few minutes, and we have received no reply. We were attempting to either get a reasonable justification for this or a reimbursement. I paid the amount at the time since my wife was having surgery the following day and the last thing I had to worry about was the toilet leaking. After multiple attempts to work with Big Blue regarding this, and getting no cooperation at all, I have resorted to posting this and will no longer support this business.
