Best plumbers in Oakland!…read more I had a low water pressure problem in my kitchen and an issue with my dishwasher. I couldn't tell if the problem was the plumbing or if I needed a new dishwasher. Enter Oakland Rooter & Plumbing. Jose, the plumber that came to service my kitchen plumbing, was kind, professional and very skillful. He explained how he was diagnosing the situation and the process of elimination he was going through to get to the bottom of the issue. I especially appreciated that as a woman that loves learning about how things work. Jose answered all my questions and had some great analogies to explain the plumbing situation. I also appreciated that there was no upselling. Jose was clear about the tiers of support and associated costs and was honest about his recommendations and what would help. In the end, my plumbing issues were resolved at a reasonable price. I felt like I got five star service AND I learned a bit about how my kitchen plumbing works. Great service all around!

Thank you, Sal!

I needed a water heater replaced - quickly, because no hot water! So, I checked Yelp reviews and…read morefound Thumbs Up. They were just as described by the other 5 star ratings - very responsive! - heater replaced that day. Shortly after, my CO alarm started going off. I thought maybe the new water heater was vented improperly - so Sal and his assistant came out the day I called, checked out the new heater (no problems there), then replaced the batteries in the CO alarm. Better safe than sorry. I highly recommend Sal and his company - same day service and good guys.

I cannot recommend AB's Plumbing Service highly enough…read more I called AB's Plumbing in a panic after my toilet backed up and sewage started coming up through my bathtub. Needless to say, I was horrified. When I described the situation over the phone, the plumber immediately knew what the problem was and explained that I likely had a backed-up sewer line. He told me he'd be there within about an hour, and he was. When he arrived, he went straight to work. He located the cleanout in my front yard, removed the cap, and sewage and toilet paper came shooting out of the pipe--definitely not a pleasant sight, but it confirmed the problem. He then ran a camera through the line and showed me exactly what was causing the backup: tree roots had intruded into the sewer pipe. What impressed me most was how quickly they responded. He told me a crew would be out the very next morning--even though it was a Saturday--to make the repair. True to his word, the crew arrived as scheduled and worked well into the evening to get everything fixed properly. But the service didn't stop there. After completing the repair, they offered to spread mulch over the area where they had dug the trnech to install the new pipe. However, not only did they mulch the area of their work, but generously offered to spread mulch throughout the entire yard. By the time they finished, not only was my sewer line repaired, but my yard looked better than it ever had before. I feel like I got the benefit of a plumber and a landscaper! AB's Plumbing turned what could have been a nightmare experience into an awesome customer service experiences. They were knowledgeable, honest, responsive, hardworking, and went far above and beyond what I expected. If you need a plumber in Oakland, I would not hesitate to call AB's Plumbing Service.

I recently posted a 5-star review for AB's Plumbing Services, and I'm here to post another one…read more Late yesterday afternoon I noticed that the toilet in one of our bathrooms was running. I saw that the flush valve, flapper and handle were sticking and needed to be replaced. I messaged Abraham, and -- just like last time -- he responded within 60 seconds. He told me exactly what parts needed to be replaced and provided a very reasonable estimate. We made an appointment for him to come this morning. This morning, he texted me from the store to let me know he was on the way. Traffic was a challenge (as it often is), but Abraham kindly kept me updated. Once he got here, he got the job done quickly and efficiently. He actually charged me even less than he had quoted, and emailed the receipt to me immediately. I am delighted with the AB Plumbing Services team!

I just met with him regarding the replacement of my water heater. I was very impressed with his expertise and his explanation of the job, which he'll do next week.

Most dedicated, affordable, honest plumber! Joel has done two big projects for me - installing a…read morelaundry room with a half bathroom, and separating the sewer pipes for two toilets which were connected via a double tee connection. Both were done with permits, and he passed every inspection with flying colors, even receiving props from an inspector. On Joel's first day beginning the toilet project in a vacant apartment, a tenant from a neighboring apartment confronted him about the construction noise, complaining loudly and threatening to get a restraining order and/or take legal action. I called a civil standby officer to keep the tenant at bay, but his threats continued. Other contractors might have been intimidated. But Joel remained steadfast and finished the job by my deadline. When restoring the bathroom, he even threw in a couple of new water shutoff valves under the bathroom sink. Highly recommended!

Twin Handyman also found an issue with our garbage disposal (which we did not know about) and the plumbing around it while he was fixing our main problem. Though this was unexpected, I am glad Isaac did the due diligence and told us about the problem while he was there so we could do something about it. All in all, it was a 1 to 1.5 day job, and it was all diligent hard work. I highly recommend Twin Handyman and will definitely consider them for future jobs.

Salvador called me to Let me know the work was finished, sent me pictures via email of before and after the Job. This young man was very kind, polite and most of all knowledgeable of any kind of plumbing problem. He sent me the description and invoice of the work done.

Do not let them do the $79.00 "inspection"! They found an actual problem (small drip from very old…read moregalvanized water pipe). We got bids on a "pex" replacement and when we told them theirs was too high the bid was magically lowered. We were the fools who took the lowest bid. What we thought was a "repiping" of our house turned out to be a "partial repiping." So the drip was fixed but a lot of old galvanized piping remains. And here's the bad news: the new pex piping was inadequately attached to the floor joists under the house and the installer removed many sections of furnace ducting to work down there and run the new piping. So we found that one of our heater registers had no heat/no attachment to the furnace duct! Hot air blowing into the crawl space.... So we have paid someone to reattach the piping and the ducts. And when the "new piping" was done I subscribed to the annual maintenance agreement. This is a total scam! No work is done under this agreement. It is only an opportunity for Albert Nahman "technicians" to try to up sell various filters and improvement systems. And the "inspector" missed the heating duct problem.... Avoid the big yellow truck! Do not let these guys into your house!

Her patience, thoroughness and care helped make what originally felt like a daunting process, exciting. Jac took time to understand my vision and executed on practical steps to realize that vision. Beyond her plumbing mastery and expertise, it was Jac's kindness and thoughtfulness that left a lasting impression. I've witnessed a real generosity of spirit in her interactions with people: Whether providing resources like water & housing connections to houseless folks we happened across during walks, or helping a local business owner with her store toilet during lunch, Jac reminds me that there's no better time to be a better person than right now. The outcome for me is a beautiful bathroom and reliable water in my home --but even better, I feel like I've gained a true friend.
