Professional, well equipped, friendly, but most importantly problem solvers. Look at these photos of the sewer lateral cleanout, and this big chunk of grass they found in it!

I called Oakland Rooter and Plumbing last minute midday Saturday because the bathtub at my property…read morewasn't draining. We had another company's plumber snake the bathtub, but unfortunately, it didn't solve the problem. Oakland Rooter and Plumbing was immediately able to get someone out to the property within just a few hours. Eddie came out, assessed the issue, and recommended snaking the bathtub again. Within an hour, he was able to clear a hairball from the pipe and get the bathtub draining properly again! We were initially worried that there might be a broken pipe, so we were very relieved that Eddie was able to resolve the issue so quickly. Huge thank you to Eddie and Oakland Rooter and Plumbing! I really appreciated the clear communication, quick response, availability on such short notice, and professionalism. We will definitely be reaching out again for future plumbing services!

The first time was a pipe under the sink that busted and it flooded the kitchen and it was going into the living room. He helped to repair the broken pipe. The second time was a few weeks ago when a part connected to our water heater blew up. It was spraying water everywhere and again part of the downstairs flooded. Not only did he respond to my message that I left quickly! And I also left a text just to be sure. He called back and walked me through some safety protocols to make sure everything was turned off like the gas. Then came by the next day! He is very honest and does not try to upsell. He could've easily sold me a whole new water heater installation because it's been in the home already now for 18 years!, but he decided that we could just try changing the one part that had rusted and began spewing water everywhere. It was crazy. I was in so much distress, but was so encouraged by his honest helpfulness. It ended up being cheaper than I had anticipated. Because I had checked in with Costco and Home Depot for a full replacement. But if I would've went that route, I would've spent thousands of dollars. It feels so good to know that there's an honest skilled plumber in our community you're not only does excellent work but cares about people. We learned the hard way: check your water heaters regularly.

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.

They brought a new water heater and replaced it, and took our old one out. Super efficient. In regards to the price, it was what it was, but I looked up the water heater and it wasn't a super crazy markup to what they charged us plus labor, so I'm not complaining.

I am thankful for his speedy repair and PG&E was able to come back same day to turn the gas back on. Yaro's rate was competitive and has a 1 year labor warranty. There was an error date on the receipt so I'm just waiting for the revised receipt with the correct date. Other than that, I'm so glad to find him and would call him back for any plumbing issues.
