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!

We have three outdoor faucets (garden faucets) that have not been repaired or replaced since we moved to this house over 25 years ago. Over the years, they had become rusty and leaky and needed to be replaced, including some of the galvanized pipe that fed them. I sent AB'S Plumbing Services a video of each of the three faucets, and Abraham got back to me in three minutes. and asked me to stand by for a call Five minutes later, Isaac called, gave me a VERY reasonable quote, and said he was on his way. A couple of hours later, the job was complete - and perfect as usual. THESE ARE THE GUYS YOU WANT TO HIRE!

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.

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.

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.

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.
