Jim and Sal came in like determined detectives who don't give up until the mystery is solved…read more We had heard the sound of dripping water inside a wall cavity and noticed paint bubbling on the wall a few days earlier. Other plumbers we called suggested cutting the wall open in large sections, but Jim said they would inspect first and find the source of the leak. They paid attention to both the big picture and the smallest details, climbing into and crawling around our attic until they figured out exactly what had happened. They explained their findings clearly and documented everything thoroughly. Jim also took the time to answer my questions about water heaters and provided some genuinely helpful information. It's special to meet professionals like Jim and Sal, who have the curiosity and perseverance to get to the bottom of things instead of jumping straight to the most invasive solution. I know that the next time I need a plumber, I'll call Jim.

From start to finish, working with Gee at Taz Plumbing went very well. I reached out via yelp…read moreinitially, response came quickly and we reviewed what was needed. I knew the Pressure Regulator Valve needed to be changed and the shower stems needed to be replaced. I had 3 other estimates completed for the same job. They range from repiping the entire house, piping from the street, changing the water heater, tearing down walls, etc. Taz Plumbing was the ONLY company that did not try to sell me additional work. There was no up sale after the initial estimate either. The work that was discussed was the work that was carried out. Estimate and total cost were still lower than the other quotes. And some of those quotes did not even include the proper work to satisfy the need. 1 year warranty on the work included. The cost of experience was well worth the price paid for the time spent on the job. I 100% recommend working with Gee and Taz Plumbing.

He offered different payment options which is thoughtful. He provided a written receipt when I paid in cash. I'm going to provide an update to him on Wednesday regarding whether the work resolved the issue in the unit below. He reminded me several times to do so which I also appreciate. Some companies in the past have completely scammed me out of money because I'm a woman. Unfortunately they are on Yelp as well, take caution. This company is fantastic! I strongly recommend!

Angel from Big Brothers plumbing came out the very next morning, provided me a reasonable estimate, and started the work that same day.

That kind of integrity you don't see often. They finished the job in few hours and did great work. Shout out to Luis and Ruben as well. Highly recommend these guys, they are great people!

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.

Wilson came out, took one look, and figured out the big leak was actually on the city side of the meter, between the curb stop and the meter. Not my line at all. He tightened a valve on the spot and cut the leak from about 1,000 gallons a day down to a trickle, then told me to call EBMUD since it was their responsibility to fix. He didn't charge me a cent for the visit. After EBMUD swapped their valve, there was still a small leak. Wilson suggested it might just be a toilet flapper. He was right. I found a running toilet and fixed it myself in five minutes. The meter stopped. So instead of a $3,850 line replacement I didn't need, the real problem was a city valve and a toilet flapper. Honest, knowledgeable, and no upsell. These are the people I'm calling from now on.

We couldn't take it anymore, so we looked up a reliable local plumber and H&R had great reviews and are also located in San Leandro. I called them on a Wednesday evening and a man answered on the second ring. I told him what our issue was and he immediately said he could help and was ready to send someone the next morning. I wasn't available that day but was available on Friday, and he instantly said that worked for him and gave me a window of noon to 2:00 pm for arrival. Carlos arrived on time and was an incredibly nice, friendly, professional guy. Our problem was a simple one: sediment had collected in the head of the faucet over time and was blocking the water from coming out. He showed us what he removed, how to remove it ourselves next time, and told us that it's a result of the very old, original pipes in our home collecting that sediment. He arrived and finished the job within 30 minutes, tops. Incredibly smooth transaction and experience. Would definitely work with these guys again in the future.
