It's always a relief when you find reliable professionals who can deliver quality workmanship. This is what I can say about James and his family owned company--APlus Plumbing. We've been having trouble with our lower floor toilets not flushing well. It caused intermittent backups and water leaks from the base of the seat. We've had this issue for years and had another plumbing company come in a couple years back to check but ended up with no fix and scratched porcelains seats. They said it's probably just the way our back-to-back toilets were built and suggested we have a major repair to get that issue resolved or to live with a plunger as a constant backup plan. Ugh! Seriously doubted the other plumber's recommendations and capabilities as none of my neighbor friends homes with the similar floor plans had our issues. We finally decided to give it another try and found James company. He was prompt and arrived 20 mins as promised over the phone. He assessed the issue with various tools/devices to diagnose and address the trouble which the other plumbing company didn't even whip out. According to James, has over 15 years of experience and lives and services homes in San Ramon and tri-valley area. His rates are reasonable and honored the coupon(s) for 1st time customers who call him for the job which is definitely a big plus compared to other plumbing services I called. I thought the two bathrooms would cost me an arm and a leg but was relieved to know it would be under $500 ;) Thank goodness for the coupons! James was very polite and patient in explaining things and most importantly, HE RESOLVED THE ISSUE. He found the source of the intermittent overflowing and replaced the worn wax/seals of the two toilet seats. He cleaned up the area he worked in and made sure he didn't walk around our home with his shoes on. He guarantees his work for 30 days. So far, all is good. I highly recommend James for your plumbing needs! I've kept him in our directory for future plumbing services. Hopefully nothing too immediate ;) read more

Called A-plus based on Yelp ratings and local location. We had a few sinks and a toilet that were not draining. James answered the call and told me he could be by in 30 minutes! He gave me a window of 2-4 and arrived in the middle, around 3. He was very nice and asked about problem, took a look and told me what his proposed fix would cost and that it had a 50-50 shot of working. He snaked the toilet and the sink and both drain great now! We were on the lucky side of the 50% I guess. He even threw in a 60 day warranty and fixed another sink just for free for us on his way out. As he left I told him "you are our new plumber" Highly recommended read more

My toilet would not flush, nor would my tub drain. Water actually started coming back out of it. I tried snaking the junk out and even using two plungers to force the blockage out, but to no avail (and 4 hours later) was I able to do so. So, it was time for me to call a professional in. Juan and Miguel came over to my home very promptly (called at 4:00 and they came at around 4:30 to 5:00 p.m.) and were very courteous and super nice. Miguel was very polite with his many "Pleases" and "Thank Yous," which I greatly appreciated. They were at my home for two hours trying to find out the problem and fix it, but could not do so. We were trying to find the clean-out and I was able to locate it at around 7:00 p.m., but it was getting too late since the repair job included them digging out and putting in a new clean out. They came over the next morning and worked on the problem in the pouring rain. I was so appreciative that they were able to work on the problem, since I was going to call them back and just let them know to come over another day that was dry. But nope, they wanted to fix the problem since we only have one bathroom and my wife is 37 weeks pregnant. They took that into consideration and were determined to get the toilet flushing and the tub drained. Well, after replacing a pipe and adding a new clean-out pipe, they put their power-pressured water hose in and blasted the gunk away, cleaning out the pipes (they used a camera to show me that there was no blockage). Yay!!! We can now flush and take a shower without water coming back out of the drainage. Apparently, the build up was from using Kirkland flushable moist wipes, which are not really great for flushing. Thanks for Juan and Miguel from APlus Plumbing. My wife and I greatly appreciate your help. In the future if we need to use your services, you will definitely be the people we call. P.S. I would definitely recommend APlus Plumbing to any individual, including family and friends. Thanks again!!! read more

I emailed APlus Plumbing based on their positive Yelp reviews. I was called the same day and scheduled the same day. I had a clogged bathroom sink which I couldn't fix. Juan and Jose showed up on time, they were very professional about the job that needed to be completed. Quoted me a reasonable price and honored the discount they offered on their Yelp Page/Website. The were very thorough in the type of work that needed to be completed and it was done in a prompt and timely manner. They were both very knowledgeable and courteous. They are very kind and considerate, I would definitely recommend them. You get the excellent service you pay for. A+++++++ read more

APlus Plumbing does not disappoint by any measure. I contacted Juan, he showed up the following morning much earlier than stated. The job was done in thirty minutes, everything was put back, cleaned up, and problem solved. I am certainly going to contact APlus Plumbing again when I need plumbing problems solved. APlus Plumbing is professional, honest, knowledgeable, and reasonably priced. read more

Juan, James, and Miguel are honest and hard working men. I called for their service after feeling extra strong one morning and breaking the bath tub faucet handle. The screw split in half and got stuck inside the stem. When Juan and Miguel came on the first day, they tried their best to yank it out with a wrench. But this was challenging, the stem fused with the faucet with all the gunk and deposits that accumulated over the years. I know Juan and Miguel tried their best to yank it out because they were trying for over an hour and Juan even injured his finger during this process. This man did not give up. Then they were forced to try more invasive approach to get the stem out and with success. However, when they installed the new stem, there was a leak coming out of the faucet. I was provided with a bad news that the entire faucet needs to be replaced. This entailed cutting the shower marble, replacing the entire faucet(cutting pipes and welding), and installing the stem. When I got the revised quote for this new job, I was not happy. It was simply too much than the amount I was ready to spend on this problem. On the following day, Juan, James, and Miguel came back. When I spoke with them about the cost for material and services, they agreed to a very reasonable amount which wasnt much more than the initial quote(replacing stem only). But it must have cost them a lot more for materials(new faucet cover, handle, stem, and pipes), a contractor(Juan's friend for cutting the shower marble), and complicated plumbing work. After two more hours of work, everything is working to a perfection! When I reflect on services I received from APLUS PLUMBING, I must say, this is the type of work ethic to be desired. They were responsible, accountable, reasonable, and able to get the job done. And this is without deviating much from the initial quote after the job escalated with unforeseen issues. Thank you APLUS PLUMBING crew. I can finally shower out of a shower head without using filled up buckets. I will request all future plumbing services to APLUS and refer all friends with plumbing issues. P.S. I hope your finger recovers quickly Juan! read more

Had an urgent plumbing issue, and decided to try out A-Plus Plumbing. Couldn't be happier with the service. James was patient enough to describe for me the services required and even took time to draw out a diagram so I understood what was going on. A+ service! read more

I called APLUS because my showers were backing up and getting filled with grime and sludge when showering. My house was built in the 1950's so finding a clean out access to the drain was not possible because the house does not have one. The options were to take a shot on a high pressure drain cleaning by accessing the pipe through the drain vent on the roof, or we could dig up the front yard and install a clean out access which would be much pricier. I chose to start with the smaller project and high pressure blast the drain from the roof. Well it seemed to have done the job, and the price was definitely fair considering other plumbers would have charged much more. I highly recommend APLUS to anybody. They are honest and fair. UPDATE: Four days later my showers were backing up again. I called Aplus out on a Saturday, they showed up within the hour and they preformed another high pressure drain cleaning because they gave me a 30 day warranty on the first one. Juan also gave me a camera inspection. Upon inspection we found there were tree roots blocking up a portion of drain line by the front of the house and that I will need a clean out access in the near future. I am very impressed with Aplus' service and ability to come out promptly when needed. Thanks, guys! read more

Our new place was in need of a new water heater we also had a faucet issue and needed toilets to be secure. Juan came out and gave an affordable estimate and was very honest about everything. On the day of installation he was on time and got right to work. Very thorough and cleaned up after. We would highly recommend Juan and will call to request Juan if need be for any plumbing issues. Thank you Juan read more

Recently my washer (in the garage) backed up when I did a wash and oddly enough that caused sewage in one bathroom to bubble up so I called APlus Plumbing after reading a few reviews (thanks Yelp). Juan & James showed up and after inspecting various parts of the house power washed the cleanout (located on my front lawn) then they put a camera down to see if there was still blockage or cracks in the main sewer line. The camera was able to go about 3 feet before coming to standing water. They suggested it might be roots causing the blockage and I would need to replace from the cleanout to the sidewalk (~ 5 feet of pipe) but since they couldn't see beyond standing water they cautioned me it could be worst, the blockage could extend under the sidewalk and into the street because there is a street tree in the way and if it extended that far it will be alot more $ but for now the immediate problem have been fixed with the power wash and I can use my laundry machine and shower but I need to take care of the standing water problem. Because the immediate problem was fixed, I didn't feel pressured and having the camera view was very helpful. I called the City of Hayward to see if they rooter or fixed root problems caused by their street trees and they said only at the surface or in the middle of the street but not the sewer lateral. So I had APlus Plumbing replace the 5ft of sewer line up to the sidewalk and hoped it wasn't worst. Juan was digging when the pipe moved and he was able to pick it up. It looked like at some point in time the clay pipe broke and a solid wall of dirt and root formed, causing a blockage. I'm surprised sewage didn't backed up into the house more often. After the new sewer line went in, James put the camera in and it was clean all the way to the public line. Thank goodness! Juan, James and their assistant (sorry I didn't get his name) worked very efficiently and worked as a team. As one digged, the other got supplies ready and when one got tired digging, his partner would take his place digging, as one measured and called out the measurements, the other cut the pipe. They worked together so well, they were able to finished quickly, from replacement, testing, inspection to clean-up. Thanks for doing and excellent job on my pipes. read more

I had to write a review for this company! I report good and bad service because I think the people should know what to expect. What you can expect from A-Plus is just that, an A+ job. Juan was so nice, professional, informative, confident and efficient. They were referred to me by a friend. It was a long day and they were the 3rd plumbing service to come out that day. Not only did they come out after 7pm but Juan was able to do in 20 minutes what the others could not accomplish from 9am up until the time he arrived. The very next day my son did something else to the toilet and Juan came right back no questions asked. He was extremely professional and I truly appreciate the job well done! I will definitely be using APlus for ALL of my plumbing needs. Did I mention that their prices are wonderful! If you need plumbing work done of any kind PLEASE do yourself a favor and call these guys! Thank you Juan!!!!!!!! read more

APlus Plumbing is the way to go for your plumbing service needs! I had a badly-clogged toilet, and after calling around to 4 different places in the area from Yelp (and being stood up by 1 company), I called APlus Plumbing, and the owner, James, got all of my information and was able to get a team down to my place within 40 minutes. The team of Juan and Jose arrived early and they resolved the toilet clog much faster than expected. Pricing was fabulous, service was extremely friendly, and recommendations and advice were super helpful! There's no other plumbing service I would turn to in the future than APlus Plumbing. Satisfied beyond belief! read more

I'm sort of speechless. Juan and Miguel showed up as advertised, listened to my leaky-toilet situation quickly, and figured out WHY it was leaking all over the floor. It was a SIMPLE fix - which they figured out immediately. I was literally sitting in the bathtub - embarrassed I couldn't figure it out on my own. THEN they told ME how to fix it. NO CHARGE. The "free estimate" thing was real. They were kind, professional, helpful, and...they actually didn't charge me because it was such an easy fix. I've never had that happen before, but it shows me: 1) they have integrity and are interested in helping people as part of their profession and, 2) they know their stuff. SO...I'll put these guys in my phone for the next time. And you should too. Thanks, Guys. I really appreciated your time and effort. While I hope I don't need a plumber - if I do, I'm calling you! read more

The water from my washing machine was backing up into the toilets and tubs of both my bathrooms. I called aplus and a couple other companies with equally good reviews. Juan and miguel did not disappoint...They installed a cleanout and located the problem..apparently my main had a section that was completely blocked with roots. They showed me the work that was being done every step of the way and even did the camera to diagnose any other problems within my main. I have two other problems that will require fixing in the future but juan was not pushy at all...Price was very competitive compared to the other company i called. very informative and takes time to explain things. aplus really lives up to their name..THANK YOU Juan and Miguel! read more

I found APlus Plumbing through Yelp based on their positive reviews. Juan scheduled me for the same day but I lucked out to be rescheduled earlier since I guess someone changed their appointment. Juan came by in less than 45 minutes and the whole job was completed in less than 30 minutes. Highly recommended and will definitely use them again in the future. read more

I read someone else's review about how to give a business a 5 star review when they didn't do any work for us :) Well its easy, that 5 star is for their complete professionalism, taking the time to come see and assess the issue not once but twice in 6 months and both the times honestly telling me what the issue is and saying they won't be able to fix it. I own a business in Hayward and somehow when the problem recurred i again called APlus and Juan came over, patiently explained its the same problem as last time so they won't be able to fix it. No lying, no gimmicks just plain honesty. He is amazing. A very genuine and nice guy. I had called another company a day earlier too and that guy was so unprofessional, rude, impatient and quoted a lot too. If i could give 10 stars to this business and Juan i would. God Bless them. read more

Juan is very great!!! He fixed our sink very fast and very good! There is a warranty so you don't need to worry. Very cheap as well, Juan is way cheaper than the competitors read more

Didn't go with these guys but I appreciate the prompt response and the professionalism shown. Wish you guys the best 2020!

I'm a very satisfied customer after James came out to fix our clogged bathtub upstairs. The whole experience was very easy from booking our appointment through yelp, James communicated immediately via yelp messaging and came out exactly when promised! He was very fast and in less than 15 minutes had removed the nail from the bathtub drain trap. The nail got in there from when the home was constructed about a year ago and we only recently noticed that the tub wasn't draining when we had guests use the shower upstairs. Anyway, I was very happy with the fast, professional, reliable service and the price and would highly recommend this company to anyone. read more

This review is long overdue. APlus Plumbing has been our go-to plumbers since we bought our home (a litter over a year ago), and they've helped us on three different occasions. We've always dealt with Juan who is awesome! He's extremely kind, professional and always on time. He explains everything very thoroughly and provides suggestions when he can. The first time they came was the day we moved into our home. We had our main sewer line cracked from tree roots. We really needed it fixed that same day and Juan with another helper were able to get the job done. The second time Juan came was for our toilet. It was off balance and leaking. This past weekend, our kitchen sick disposal clogged and backed up our shower (the only shower we have). We had tight time constraints because we needed to shower and leave for a birthday party. He was on a big job that morning, but came quickly enough to stop by and fix the problem within less than an hour. I highly recommend APlus to anyone in need of a plumber. One big thing I really appreciate is that they don't add on unnecessary work to rack up costs. They are pretty reasonable with costs and only do what is needed (at least from my experience). We couldn't be happier with their service! read more

Very happy with the service I got from Aplus. I managed to snap a pipe out front of our house while wrangling with our hose. Within 20 minutes of calling, I had Juan and Jose out and they immediately got to work. They fixed the issue within 2 hours and we were able to shower that night. Recommended! read more

Juan and Miguel were early for our appointment. They inspected our drain clog, assessed the problem and offered their suggested solution. We came to an agreement and they performed their work quickly and cleared or kitchen drain blockage using a Hydrojet because our blockage was too extreme to snake. Thank you, Juan and Miguel! I will definitely use your services in the future! read more

Juan and Miguel just left and I had to jump on to write this review. Not only do you want honest assessment and great low prices (and a yelp coupon!) from a plumber, but you also want them to show up super fast (10 minutes since Juan lives nearby luckily for us) and also with just respectful and friendly vibes. Our 4 year old son was super excited when he saw them at our gate and he is not always so trusting (and neither is our 11 year old pup who stopped barking when they entered our home). Juan was super thorough in finding out why our toilet, shower, sink and tub were all mutually stopped up and (yyyuuuuccckkk!) backing up, but he showed my husband a trick in another leaky toilet that another plumber said the only solution was to replace the whole toilet. Juan also explained a much more expensive, long term problem we have in our pipes - and when we have enough saved up, we will be sure to call on Juan. But back to resolving our nasty plumbing issue that needed to be resolved today, they were done in less than 30 minutes with a competitive price. We knew we didn't have to call another company just to make sure we weren't getting jipped. He is also guaranteeing the work for 30 days which other companies couldn't offer for the flush they ran to get it all cleared up. read more

Juan and his team did a great job coordinating and helping us redid our entire water lines from galvanized to copper, he explained everything and his team was clean and very efficient. No time was wasted and priced was very reasonable compared to the 3 bids we got. thank you Juan! This is Evan and Geelyn from Union City that one you just finished this weekend! read more

Very professional and prompt. One of the, if not the best, in East Bay. Juan knows the stuff. Highly recommend their work.

Thank you Juan! You and your team are #1 in my book. This is the 3rd time I've called APLUS (for 3 different issues) and Juan and his team always show up on time and resolve my problem right away! They are honest, reasonable and do quality work! You've earned an A+ from me! read more

Juan and Miguel, awesome guys. Juan did the majority of the work, he was very knowledgeable. I believe Juan stated that he had about 12 years experience and it showed. He knew exactly needed to be done to my toilet and bath valve. They were also friendly to my 2 curious daughters that wanted to see what was going on in their bathroom. Suffice to say that before APLUS Plumbing came to our house the toilet and bath valve were leaking. After the quick fix of replacing a shut-off valve, toilet valve, and bath valve cartridge, it is leak-free. Thank you Juan and Miguel! read more

I had a drainage problem where water kept coming up into the tub every time we did the laundry. I tried to snake it myself but didn't have any luck. I decided to call up A Plus plumbing on Saturday night and Juan came out right away to assess the issue. Juan carefully explained all my options and came early Sunday morning to fix our issue. He and his staff were prompt, professional and courteous. I would definitely call them again in the future, and would recommend them to my friends and family. A Plus indeed!! read more

Jose and Juan were a god-send! We have had periodic plumbing backups before but we have always been able to manage them on our own. Our 1960's plumbing is fairly sensitive so we've done everything from eliminating food waste in the garbage disposal to using less paper in our toilets, and never flushing things like wipes and tampons. Wouldn't you know that right after a fun family bbq for Father's Day the toilets start backing up (literally right when our guests were exiting). Plunging, flushing, and diverting water through one area resulted in sludge and grime coming up in all toilets and showers. After a long evening of making a huge mess, we woke up defeated and reluctantly called APlus (we had a bad experience with a previous plumber who broke a hole in one of our pipes while "fixing" something). Jose and Juan were at our house within the hour and flushed everything out with a high pressure washer. Worked like a charm and everything was said and done in about ten minutes. We would definitely recommend, as they were fast, courteous, and very professional. We will be using there maintenance services to prevent future blockage. APlus gets a huge A++++++ from us! read more

I called APlus Plumbing based on their positive Yelp reviews. The phone call was immediately answered and I was told a team would be out to check out my leaky sink in 45 minutes. The team, Jose and Juan, were at my house in less than 30 minutes. They were professional and provided a reasonable quote with the 10% first time customer discount. I needed to run out an buy a new faucet, they waited at no extra charge twice, as the first faucet I bought at Costco turned out to be cheaply made. They told me they could install it but didn't recommend it. So they waited again, while I ran to Home Depot. All in all, fast, professional, friendly, good at their job and my new under sink plumbing and freshly installed faucet look great. read more

We had a sewer line back up that wasn't able to be worked on by the plumber that was dispatched by our home warranty company (due to the warranty itself not the plumber). So I called APLUS and left a message asking for help ASAP. Within a few minutes I received a call back from Jesse and within the hour Juan and Miguel were at our home. They were courteous, professional, efficient, and deliberate with their diagnosis and remedy of our backup. Couldn't be happier with the service and outcome using APLUS. *Bonus points for using shoe booties while working within our home. read more

Prompt and reliable service, quality employees. We've had Juan out twice within the last month for different plumbing issues. The clogged bathroom sink only needed a snaking. He looked at and recommended replacing the barely functioning kitchen faucet. We purchased replacement, and he installed same day. Even called and OK'd coming earlier than the 5pm time scheduled. Brought all the equipment needed and even supplied towels in case of water leakage. We now have TWO working sinks! ¡Gracias Juan! read more

Great service from them! Juan and Miguel were a pleasure to work with. Very professional, polite, and not afraid to go into your crawl space if they have to in order to give you an accurate estimate! Had them replace an antiquated drain pipe from underneath the home. Saw significantly improved draining from washer and kitchen area. Highly recommend them! read more

I called APlus Plumbing and they were actually able to respond to my house within two hours. Juan and Miguel arrived and quickly fixed a wall pipe that had been annoying me for years. They make a great team and they work well together. I was so impressed with there work that I asked them to fix a second valve problem that I was experiencing in another room. Upon inspection, Juan located two plugged up pipes and they were replaced within minutes. I want to thank Juan and Miguel for providing excellent service in a timely manner. They are two knowledgeable professionals who know how to work in the plumbing industry. I would use these two guys again without hesitation. read more

Great job in changing our sewer pipe from the clean out to the sidewalk. Juan, James, and Miguel got it done in two days and we got it done for $4,500 - the lowest price compared to several other plumbing companies in Hayward that we called for estimates. We would recommend Aplus for plumbing issues! read more

Like many of the other reviews I found A Plus on yelp. Juan and Jose came within an hour after I called and were very courteous and professional. They came and got the job done, gave me helpful suggestions for future needs and never pressured me into services I don't currently need. They are my only contact from now on for all my plumbing services. Thanks for your help guys! read more
