Best Septic System Inspection in Oakland CA

Never have I been so impressed! After 4 plumbing companies told us that our problem could only be solved by removing the bathtub and replacing it with a shower (a remodel), Ignacio Islas from Plumbing Guys came in to provide an estimate for the remodel. He looked at the drain, then looked at me and asked me if he could try one more thing. He did and fixed the clog that 4 other companies told me wasn't fixable. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this company and celebrate Ignacio's creativity and willingness to do the right thing!

Showed up on time, very responsive and did a great job. Also very friendly, which is always a plus!

I needed a septic tank to sewer conversion. I chose Avalon Services, Inc. because they did their research BEFORE submitting a bid. (Another firm had a lower bid but reserved the right to increase it when the project manager arrived to start work.) Since I had looked into this project several years earlier, I knew Avalon was more realistic. Will Feliciano, the owner, was very professional, kept me informed and was a pleasure to work with. So were his workers and Jose, his foreman. Will was usually there working alongside them. We ended up having to install a pump but Will had advised me before I signed the contract that it might be required. He only charged me for the pump; not the considerable extra labor. We had one miscommunication about a possible pipe replacement under my house. That would have been avoided had I placed it in the contract. We both thought the questionable pipe had been inspected internally during this project. Since the main project had been completed, I was very worried it wouldn't be addressed. In my experience, most contractors would have walked away or charged a fortune to do it. Will and I worked out an amicable solution. The work was completed at a later date at a fraction of the cost I had anticipated. He only charged me his cost with no profit. All in all, Avalon Services, Inc. provided high quality work and professional standards at a reasonable price. It's so nice to find an honest contractor who truly cares about customer satisfaction.
Will also came up with an inexpensive solution to a problem created by a previous contractor who, instead of installing the plumbing for my washing machine underneath the floor, had placed it above the floor and built a platform to hide it.

Great service and easy going. I needed a gas pipe shortened and a valve added to it. He did a great job. Very fast and reasonable. Would definitely recommend this plumber.

It's easy to say that Daniel and Gateway Rooter are a solid company with a professional staff. We are very pleased with the scheduling and the job itself. During this last visit, he installed a new kitchen faucet, garbage disposal, and an ADA toilet. In the past, we have also had him installed a water heater and fix exterior sewage pikes. We will continue to use Gateway Rooter. He also was very respectful about safe practices during Covid 19.

I had a slow drain at The Doolittle in Castro Valley. Manuel came out at the time I was given and took care of my issue quickly. I appreciate the customer service Plumbing Guys provided.
I highly recommend them
