Best Septic System Installation in Oakland CA

Very professional, reliable, does the job right.  Would be my dream plumber, but the sound is so terrible on his cell phone that I'm giving up on trying to set up appointments with him.

The work was excellent. The problem was the price quoted on the phone nearly doubled when the workers arrived at the  job site.

For that reason I lost trust in their company and will never call them again.

That's  a bad business model for any company trying to succeed in this competitive enviorment

I had a wonderful experience with Jorge and JJ Rooter and Plumbing. He did an excellent job replacing an old and leaking hot water heater. I like the fact that Jorge works the job. He is responsive, on time and helpful. They did a great job and cleaned the site well. Thank you Jorge and team.

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.

We had a completely clogged kitchen sink, the night before Thanksgiving and Mario was the only plumber willing to come out that night and for a reasonable price. He arrived around 10pm and worked until nearly midnight to get our sink unclogged. Mario was extremely safe, clean, and professional. He even cleaned the residue out of our kitchen sink when he was done.
I would highly recommend Mario and will definitely call him the next time I need plumbing services.

I was very happy with the service I received.  Jonathan, the technician, was very friendly and professional.  He also seemed knowledgeable and explained my electrical issues in depth. I tend to ask a lot of questions and he was willing and able to answer them all.   The cost was quite reasonable, and rather than trying to upsell me for additional work while he was there, he simply provided an estimate of additional work I might want to consider in the future based on our conversation.  No pressure, very easy going, and extremely helpful.  I would recommend this company based on my experience with Jonathan.

Joel and his crew were easy to work with. They delivered exactly what was asked at a reasonable price.

I have to say all reviews are right on track!

I had a slow draining shower; no emergency, but it was getting really bad and I was home.  I was given a quote and 2 hour window after calling; Miguel was right on time.  Very clean, wearing boot covers (and he took them off  and put them back on at the doorstep each time he went to the truck....I can only imagine how tedious that would be!).  He fixed the problem in less than 30 mins and cleaned up everything (he had a blanket he put on the floor while working and a few towels, as well).  It was a very good use of $98, my time, and I actually saved money by not buying Drano (that would not have worked and  would have sat in garage forever).

I hope I don't need a plumber anytime soon (fingers crossed!), but if  I do....

For a day, our toilet was clogged and flooded our bathroom. My family needed an emergency repair, so while looking on yelp I found Erwyn. After sending a response, he responded very quickly and was able to offer service right away. He was very helpful and was able to unclog the toilet & fixed the issue less than an hour efficiently. I highly recommend Erywn's Plumbing!

I found this plumber somewhat unconventionally. We had an issue with moisture getting into the exterior wall of our finished basement room, which is below grade. We do have a French drain, which was installed by the prior owners. But we knew nothing about it - where exactly it was, whether it was clean and functioning.

I had multiple contractors come take a look and most of them said we need to dig out all the concrete outside to locate the drain, and then waterproof - or even replace (!) our foundation etc. This is all because of a tiny bit of efflorescence on a wall.

Feeling stressed, I went for a walk. I turned the corner and saw the Gateway truck parked. I went up to the guy standing outside and asked if he could come take a look. To my surprise he said yes, he'd be there in a half hour.

The plumber, Daniel, showed up right on time. He took a look at everything, told us where the French drain was located based on the location of the catch basin, and said he could do a camera inspection for us. He came back a few days later and ran his cool camera thingy through all our pipes (I called it a house colonoscopy.). He climbed the fence and inspected the opening of the French drain, which is in our neighbor's yard. He gave us some ideas about how to mitigate the moisture issue without breaking the bank, and put my worries at ease.

Daniel was professional, on time, and extraordinarily reasonable for the amount of time he spent with us. I will be sure to call them to fix plumbing issues in the future.

Clogged sink on a Friday.  Called our Alameda plumbers who said they could come next week.  Googled plumbers and found Plumbing Guys in Hayward.  They came i under 2 hours and on time.  John was professional and competent.  Sink back in business YAY.   Great, fast and competent service.  Thanks Plumbing Guys.
