I don't have the time to write reviews but I do have time to promote a true craftsman. I called the posted number (which goes straight to the owner), Chris picked up right away, knew more about my problem better than I could explain, and was out in less than an hour. AMAZING response and expertise just over the phone. I had no idea what to expect for the cost, after the work was done and seeing the nasty a$$ sewage mess he had to go through, I would of been seriously happy to pay for more. If your looking for a trustworthy sewage and pluming service, this will be the last one you'll ever need. You can quote me on this. Thanks to yelp for the accurate reviews. P.S. Chris carries a GREAT positive personality into everything thing he does. I always admire people who can bring that into their profession. Randy (thanks again Chris!)

He charged a flat fee which was amazing since he was here for quite some time. He arrived when he said he would (within an hour of our call), used a camera to identify the problem and showed my husband, walked us through our options, and most importantly he fixed the problem. And he guarantees the job for 30 days. Would recommend him to others.

Oh happy times! Spoke with Erin who sent me a service quote right away and Winston and his crew showed up later that day.

I would definitely recommend their services. Thank you!

I like Miguel's efficient, effective, and common sense style of business. A well balanced use of technology and old fashioned good business practices. A faulty kitchen faucet needed replacing. Yelp helped me reach out to area pros. Miguel of Vaps was one of the first to respond and was one of the most communicative pros in getting video and pictures (from Steele) of the issue before responding with parts, labor costs, and available time slots . This was one of the best problem solving experiences I've had before the holidays; especially, since Steele and Traci made communicating so seamless while Miguel responded instantaneously with solution options. This simple fix required a village.

Jeff, the serviceman, was extremely professional and had the job done in only a few hours, and I was really impressed Jeff cleaned up after the job. I could not have asked for more. These guys had a reasonable price, and they are overall excellent company. I had a great experience with their team. Really good job! Much better than Lowes, Home Depot, or General Plumber! A HUGE thank you to Jeff and the East Bay Water Heater Team! If you're in need of a water heater repair, I highly recommend this company. More businesses should follow their operation model.

In the fall of 2021 I contacted them and had Luke respond and he was Friendly, but was not very good at communicating and later provided misinformation to individuals related to the work he began to do for us and never followed through. I regret to have to give this company that i trusted for 5 years a bad review but Luke was untrustworthy and unprofessional and he advised me that Ron B was no longer the owner and he was taking over the company (which Ron later personally called me to advise this was not accurate).

Our homeowners insurance company questioned it viability, and after having PG&E and another heating company look at it (and declare it in dire need of replacement), a realtor recommended we contact All-Ways.

The gave us an excellent price, and the owner's son and another guy did the job beautifully in the span of about five hours. Our insurer is happy, we're happy, and we won't have to worry about this item ever again in our lifetimes. Loved this company and Micah and Luke!

I am usually uncomfortable having repair people in my home. Not this time, I did not feel that I was being talked down to. Will is a competent plumber and is an honest businessman.
