Best Pipe Repair in Oakland CA

Word up, thanks yelpers. Our disposal broke went down in a blaze of glory (figuratively speaking) the other day. I got on this here Yelp site and searched for a plumber. Came back with some serious results, but seeing that my man Bucky K gave Atlas five stars, I was left with little choice but to call them.

They came right on time, took  a look at the disposal, had it repaired in under ten minutes, and still managed some small talk with me. I'm happy, and now I can crunch up remnants of meals, apple cores and what not to my heart's content.

Pipe Spy did a fantastic job on our emergency broken sewer. Clean, fast, attention to detail, complete assurance that the job is well done. Heiko was a great and reassuring person to deal with. They scheduled our emergency into their already packed schedule and we were able to get back into our house quickly, as it was not even habitable otherwise. I highly recommend Pipe Spy.

I called Kenneth Asire Plumbing because they had great reviews for repairing water heaters. I wanted someone to troubleshoot and repair the water heater and not just replace it. They were courteous, responsive, and got the job done. They located the part that failed and replaced it for me right away. Will call them for help again if needed.

Abraham responded quickly on a weekend and was able to checkout our toilet issue. Turns out we had a big clog.. he was able to get everything up and running again all in less than 24 hours!

About 2-3 weeks later we had an issue with a toilet running. He came ASAP and was able to find the parts needed and fix it the same day.

He charged exactly what he said he would and came early. Very polite guy who worked quickly and fixed the problem. I will use him again.

Roman gave me the estimated cost through request-a-quote in minutes. He showed up right on time the next day as scheduled and really cared about my inquiries.  He knew exactly what to do with my back door replacement. I was pleased with the quality of work done.

We had problem with our drainage in the bathroom which caused a leak in our closet downstairs. He came to check it out and advised what needed to be done. He was able to fix it and replace any outdated parts. Thanks Ben.

Gil was reliable and helper fixed the leak at home. He was cost effective and highly reliable.

I was referred to Handyman Heroes by my realtor. We had a number of projects around the house that were beyond my skill.

We had a soft spot in our dining floor that was alarming. We were worried that this would turn into one of those rabbit holes that home owners dread. Words like load bearing and failure were at the front of our minds. We had a security gate that didn't latch. Not terribly secure. Getting hot water to our kitchen was taking forever. We had a Spanish tile that was about to fall off the roof and crack someone's skull. And to top it off our courtyard was flooding.

Larry came out and walked through our various projects with us and was detail oriented and straight forward with the estimates. There were straight forward and more difficult projects. You never know whats going to happen when you start going down the rabbit hole but we had a the information we needed to make our decisions.

Then Carlos and Adrian came out. They were awesome. They worked hard, intelligently, and with clear attention to detail. They came up with a number of creative solutions to problems. For example the courtyard was flooding because the drain in the concrete pad was covered by several inches of debris. But the drain was under the deck so it was impossible to deal with. They built a super slick trap door into the deck reusing materials so we could service the drain ourselves.

Its often hard to find folks in this business with integrity.  Carlos and Adrian took our rabbit hole floor issue and turned it into an easy fix. They showed us why it was happening, how they could fix it, and did it quickly.

We've already queued up another set of projects for the team. Awesome.

Excellent service each time I've called them. I will continue to call them first if I need any plumbing or heating services. Highly recommenddd.

Called and got a same-day appointment on a Saturday when we discovered a sewer pipe junction had separated and raw sewage was leaking under our house. Price to repair was little more than a service call, despite the urgency, cramped crawl space, and disgusting situation. While there, he snaked a toilet and main line for us that were backing up. He didn't charge us for that when he discovered the sewer lateral needed further attention (turns out it needs to be saddled and re-connected). He gave us a very fair estimate for replacing some DIY plumbing that is leaking under the house (making for a total plumbing armageddon). All in all, my favorite plumber.

Having read the negative reviews, I can say that we also live in a zip code that frequently gets up-charged, and that hasn't been my experience with this company. They are remarkably clear at communicating what they will do and what it will cost. While no one else has mentioned this, as a woman I frequently run into repairmen who are hesitant to accept my account of what's going on or dumb down their explanations. George trusted my explanations  and didn't balk at explaining things like why a slow-but-completely-draining toilet had to be a problem with the main line. If you take the time to explain in detail what you're experiencing and what you want, this company will repay your efforts.

I had a broken sewage pipe that really brought up my anxiety level. Unable to stay in my house for two weeks. Awais helped me through the process and also was patient with the demands I made. He stick with me through and through and continued to support me. They did a good job on my pipe issue and held a good customer service relationship. I am working in the health industry that provides service and I can tell this is a company you can rely on. I have his number stored and will use this company again should any plumbing issue arise.Thanks Awais.

Once again a solid performance by Savior! In and out on less than an hour. Send them a pic of the problem and they arrive with replacement. Staff is ALWAYS friendly and flexible throughout the process. Highly recommend them on your next epic plumbing issue!!

I met with Rey to have him offer a proposal for a plumbing and HVAC job. His bid was higher than some, but my general contractor had a working relationship with him. When I reached out to him to start the job, he didn't respond to my email. I then followed up with a phone call to confirm if he was still available. When he answered, he said, I don't want to do your job. And hung up... no explanation, no further interaction. I know that contractors are busy, but I still expect some level of professionalism. Rey was downright rude and unprofessional.

We called Jazz for an issue with our fairly new AC. Justin was on time, polite and clear about what he was checking. He resolved our issue within 30 minutes. I highly recommend Jazz Heating.  I am very glad I called Jazz and didn't go with incorrect and expensive recommendation from previous company.

Great job fixing the bathroom fan and running out to get spare parts for unexpected issues. Also tolerated the job while our dog barked from the next room over. Professional and would recommend

Wow, called at 11am on a Sunday and Wali responded immediately.  He said they could help right away.  Christian was prompt and courteous (25 min!), professional and friendly. In just a few minutes he snaked the bathroom sink for a clogged drain. Reasonable price. They do installation too so I'm planning to use them to install some bathroom and kitchen fixtures in the near future. Very happy customer!

I got a response right away and was able to make an appointment for the same week. Had several shelves and lights put up. Very efficient and professional. I would use his service again!

Like S. d., they've done good work for me in the past, but it was steep. Better the devil you know, so I went with them when I had a cracked sewer lateral.

$800 later i have some footage of the pipe and an I had to ask them to resend the estimate (only the bill arrived the first time). The proposal involved re-routing half my lines cost 6.5K, which doesn't include permits and I would have to do the crawl space excavation (not insubstantial) myself.

After some research I found a trenchless solution (cured in place pipe) for a small fraction to repair only the 4' section of damaged cast iron pipe (the rest looked healthy).

To sum up: good work if money is no object. Down side, expensive and not much interest in finding the best value solution.

This is an update to my most recent review from 8/9/2022. Marcus Mosley from Albert Nahman reached immediately the next day. We had an extremely productive and informative conversation.  He listened to my concerns and assured that this was an isolated incident and will be addressed.

I would also like to acknowledge Levi Williams with whom I spoke with on 8/9/2022.

Albert Nahman is very lucky to have both of these men on their team. They exemplified what customer service should. With that said, I feel very confident moving forward we will have a good working relationship and will definitely use them again in the future.
