I had a serious plumbing emergency on April 29, 2026, around 10:30 PM. What started as a simple clogged toilet quickly escalated into a major issue when the sewer line backed up, causing sewage to overflow into the bathroom and bathtub. We contacted emergency services overnight, and Julio from Gallo's Plumbing & Rooter arrived promptly the next morning at 8:30 AM. He even sent a text beforehand letting me know he'd arrive in 10 minutes, which I really appreciated. From the moment he arrived, Julio got straight to work. Despite multiple unsuccessful attempts at first, he remained persistent and determined to find the root of the problem. It became clear this wasn't a simple clog, and I was impressed with how he thoroughly investigated the issue. Julio took the time to clearly explain what was going on, showed me the problem, and walked me through the different methods he could use to fix it. His transparency and communication made a stressful situation much easier to handle. The pricing was also reasonable, especially considering the urgency and the amount of work involved. He worked tirelessly from 8:30 AM until about 8:30-9:00 PM, making sure everything was fully resolved and functioning properly before leaving. He even cleaned up the work area, which I really appreciated. I would absolutely recommend Julio and would not hesitate to call him again in the future. read more

Incredible experience from start to finish! When my water bill suddenly spiked and I noticed water pooling near the meter, I contacted the water company. They confirmed a leak in the pipe coming out of the meter and we shut off the water. I was in urgent need of a reliable plumber and found Gallo's Plumbing & Rooter on Yelp--and I'm so glad I did. Julio contacted me right away and said he was in the area. He showed up within the hour--professional, friendly, and clearly very skilled. After a quick assessment and a few thoughtful questions, he gave me a free estimate and clearly explained the scope of work. Julio was incredibly organized. He neatly raked back the mulch, dug out the area with care, and located the leaking pipe. Once he identified the exact issue, he left to pick up the necessary parts and returned promptly. He replaced the damaged section of pipe with precision, making sure everything was sealed and secure. Given the high-pressure line from the meter, he waited nearly two hours before testing to ensure the repair held--and it did, perfectly. The price he quoted was the price I paid. No surprises, no upselling--just honest, quality work. Julio has absolutely earned my trust. I now have a go-to plumber, and I wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend Gallo's Plumbing & Rooter to anyone. 5 stars. Highly recommended. EVEN MORE TO SHARE... Today, a day after the repair was completed, there was another leak detected. This leak came from a sprinkler drip line near where the work was done. The line must have been accidentally nicked with the shovel used to dig out the original repair at the meter. Julio came back right away. He not only fixed that leak, but on his own, he found another line with a leak and repaired that too. He took extra time to clean up and make the area look like new even after I said there are no need to do that. Julio and Gallo's Plumbing & Rooter go above and beyond to do everything possible to make their customers happy. I wish I could give them 10 stars! read more

I've used Gallo's Plumbing Service twice now, and both experiences have been excellent. Julio is incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and clearly knows his trade well. A year ago, he installed a new garbage disposal for me -- and even had the replacement on hand in his work van, which saved a ton of time. His pricing is reasonable and competitive, and he always takes the time to provide extra attention, thoughtful explanations, and helpful education about the work he's doing. I recently called Gallo's again because my sink was backing up. Julio clearly explained the root cause and walked me through a few options to fix it. He had all the necessary tools and parts with him, and he and his colleague were able to resolve the issue quickly and professionally. They wore booties when they entered my home, were respectful of the space, and cleaned up thoroughly after the job. They truly go above and beyond to make sure I'm satisfied. Overall, Gallo's did a fantastic job and left me feeling confident in the repair. Highly recommend! read more

Julio was incredibly professional and knowledgeable. We had a serious backup in both the toilet and shower, and he kept me informed every step of the way. He even returned the next day, opened the ceiling downstairs to clear the line, and worked around my tenants' schedules with great care. What truly impressed me was that he went above and beyond--he secured quotes through his contacts to repair and paint the ceiling. In over 20 years of managing properties, I've never had a plumber offer such comprehensive help. I highly recommend Julio. Thank you, Julio, for making this process stress free. read more

I was impressed by Julio's professionalism. He responded for a quote very quickly on a clogged shower drain and was able to come out within the hour from Hayward to Livermore. His price was fare considering the distance he drove and having to carry his machinery up to the 3rd floor master bathroom. I would definitely give him a call again for any future plumbing issues. read more

Julio and his team did an outstanding job repiping our entire house. From the initial quote, which was very competitive, to planning and execution, everything was handled with great care and professionalism. Julio and his large crew arrived at 8:30 AM and completed the full copper repipe in just one day, wrapping up before 5 PM. They didn't cut any corners. Every copper water line from the main ingress to every faucet/shower was replaced thoroughly. Beyond the repipe, Julio also helped us find a reasonably priced drywall repair team. He closely coordinated with them to ensure that all 30+ holes were patched, textured, and painted seamlessly to match the original walls. While on the job, he also took the initiative to replace our aging water heater. The level of ownership Julio showed throughout the entire project was exceptional. Highly recommend him for any plumbing or repiping work. read more

Gallo's Plumbing & Rooter was very responsive. They came out to repair the toilet the same day, their rate was competitive, and he was kind enough to let me watch him work so this homeowner could learn a thing or two. I had contacted Roto Rooter a couple days prior. While they came out the same evening, the technician was unfamiliar with the type of toilet we have and quoted an hourly rate of $600!!! No, thanks. read more

Our old garbage disposal failed, and at 83, crawling under the sink is a problem. So I logged in to Yelp on Sunday. Gallo's responded quickly and came to my house promptly at 3:30 ready to work.. He was quick, clean and a hard worker. His fee was 1/3 as much as the only other respondent. I would very happily recommend Gallo's service for any job that's plumbing-related. read more
