Tony and his team are phenomenal! They're professional and trustworthy and really do amazing work with quick turnaround. On our first job with Bay Plumbing, Tony's team fixed some incorrectly installed lines for a new toilet and were able to come up with a solution to make our complicated plumbing situation code-compliant. Tony walked us through all the possible options, letting us know which would be quick fixes and which would be long-term solutions and was upfront about the prices from the start. On our most recent job, we noticed a leak in our basement the day before we left on vacation and Tony came over himself to check it out. Major damage was averted and the repair job was perfect. It's hard to find a good plumber who you really know you can trust, but Tony goes above and beyond. I'd give him and his crew 10 stars if I could! read more

I'd now actually demote them another star, to a two-star. While Ivan was here (at between $400 and $600/hour), he looked at the toilet, which had some odd stains that seemed to be coming from the tank. He told me that the parts in the tank had to be replaced, which would cost $375, and said I should act quickly because it could fail and be completely unusable any time now. Wondering about the $800 charge to replace the disposal, I went online to check the Home Depot cost of the disposal (between $200 and $400; probably $200, but I can't be sure as Ivan hustled the packaging out the door ASAP), and realized I'd been grossly and shamelessly overcharged. So I phoned Mauro's Plumbing to come re-check the toilet. Jose and Anthony came out today, checked carefully, and told me there was no problem at all; and they refused to let me pay them a penny for their visit. What a contrast! I have unnecessarily paid around $500 (plus the threat of $375 more). There was a sign where I used to work: "Don't make the same mistake others have made"! read more

Contacted them on a Monday with a shower drainage issue, and they came out first thing on Tuesday morning. The tech was polite, efficient, and successful in clearing out the problem. Considering the immediacy of need, the value of the service was good enough. We appreciate that sort of service. Will definitely use again if needed. read more

There's a reason why there's so many five-star reviews for this business. Bay Plumbing is incredibly responsive, reasonably priced, and meticulous in their work. I have used them at least a half dozen times -- to install a toilet, fix a leak, prevent a leak, you name it. Every time, they have exceeded my expectations. Oh and their work comes with a yearlong guarantee! Can't recommend them highly enough. read more

I've used Tony for over 15 years on plumbing jobs big and small. He has come through every time with great service, smart options, reasonable prices and is responsive, reliable and honest. He has fixed things other plumbers couldn't figure out. Recently one of his crew fixed a multi spray shower head issue in under 5 min including disassembling, removing particles inhibiting proper flow and reassembly saving me over $100. I've used a half dozen plumbers over the years as I both prep homes for sale and refer contractors very frequently. He is by far my go to guy so I fully recommend Tony and Bay Plumbing. read more

Bay Plumbing was so helpful!! Definitely recommend working with them for any plumbing work. Very kind, responsive, clear, and gave us a great price. They are very knowledgeable and will work with your situation. They went out of their way to help us with a water heater issue. read more

My kitchen sink was clogged and a challenge to fix. Ivan did his magic with different methods and got our kitchen sink working again! Very knowledgeable and professional! Thank You, Ivan! read more

Tony has accomplished 5 star work for us over time. He and his team impressed with knowledge by detailing a projects requirement while updating us with work in progress. We also appreciated their focus on a thorough explanation of the features and function of particular plumbing hardware. This was exceptionally helpful during their work on rerouting water and drainage lines to installing kitchen/bathroom plumbing fixtures. I highly recommend the quality of experience and professionalism and fair pricing of the Bay Plumbing in Berkeley Company. Rich L. read more

Cannot say enough about how great Tony & Ivan are. They've helped with numerous jobs around my house from bathroom & kitchen remodels to tankless heater install and snaking pipes. Always good, fast communication and fair prices. read more

Catastrophe struck my home a few weeks ago when the second (and my personal) toilet began to leak in my household (full of boys). The series of unfortunate events that followed were disastrous as we were all forced to share one toilet. It took a few days (which felt more like weeks) and a whole can of flex seal for me to finally admit defeat and call in the professionals. Ivan showed up expeditiously. He examined the toilet and gave us different options. We opted with just having the entire toilet replaced, as we had done a lot of damage with the flex seal in the previous days out of desperation. Ivan was very informative throughout the whole process, he explained the costs up front and gave us a time frame which he ended up beating after all was said and done. The professionalism, punctuality, honesty, and affordability are all the reasons to hire Bay Plumbing! Bay Plumbing restored the peace and unity in my family and I am forever grateful. read more

I cannot recommend Tony the Plumber more. He owns Bay Plumbing. I have used them before so not my first time with him. My hot water heater wasn't functioning. He came out on the holiday weekend, Saturday. I called and within 20 minutes he was at my house. Charged $250 minimum and it was a simple fix. Then he fixed two other non emergent problems while he was here and didn't charge more. They were obviously quick, kind, today and skilled. They fixed everything ! Use them and you won't be disappointed! www.bayplumbingpros.com 510-860-2147 read more

Loved working with these guys. I had a water heater go out, yoav was available, was to the job early, gave me three options and then did his homework realizing all parts were under warranty. He was able to cut my bill in half and did it very quickly. I loved and will call these guys again. read more

Our kitchen sink got stopped up again so Monday morning I tried to get in touch with 4 different handypeople / plumbers expecting to play phone tag but Bay Plumbing got back to me late Monday afternoon with availability for a Tuesday morning appointment. I am floored by the prompt service and quality of the assessment, he gave me several options on how to fix the problem so I can plan for the long-term solution in the future while my sink got fixed today. Thrilled. Thank you! Absolutely recommend these folks for all your plumbing needs. read more

We had a leak under our sink that turned into a plumbing catastrophe when we tried yo run the dishwasher. I texted Bay Plumbing (we used them once years ago) and they were able to come out the following day. Ivan showed up right as expected (actually early!) and diagnosed the issue, got a replacement part, installed it, and was on his way within two hours! All for a very reasonable price that was quoted up front clearly. He even tightened a screw gratis in the shower after we asked him to take a look at a leaky faucet. Professional, skilled, fairly priced & speedy-- love this company! read more

I was very impressed with the work Ivan did. A previous plumber had tried to improve the flow of water to my refrigerator, but his solution was a quick fix that didn't last long. Ivan came re-did the work, and my icemaker and water dispenser work better than they ever have since I bought the refrigerator. They do great work and their prices are reasonable. read more

Efficient, experienced and effective service! An excellent plumbing job installing all new plumbing and a new sink vanity. read more

Excellent professional workmanship. Knowledgeable people to work with. Fair market pricing. Highly recommend.

we were having an issue where our hot water wasn't staying hot. Tony came out free of charge same day, and helped us realize that the issue was not with our water heater but with a system installed by our HVAC contractors which uses hot water as a backup to our home heat. really appreciate him taking the time and being so kind and helpful! read more

We have used Tony and his Bay Plumbing team on two major remodeling projects and a separate tankless water heater and sump pump installation for my home in Alameda. All of these projects were delivered to perfection. We had an emergency sewer issue in our new home and, once again, Tony delivered. Although the home had a major remodel in 2000, apparently they didn't "Remodel" the sewer system. Let's just say the "Blockage" created a terrible situation which, as you can imagine, caused great angst! The old clean-out access was inaccessible and had to be replaced. Two new clean-outs were added and the blockage was cleared. the process took most of the day (Tony arrived at seven AM as promised!) This was a difficult job with Tony and his team performed with amazing responsiveness and professionalism. We were already huge fans of Bay Plumbing. With this response, they have been elevated to "Superhero" status. read more

Bay Plumbing - Plumbing Near Me - Berkeley, California

Bay Plumbing installed a water pressure regulator valve on the exterior of our home. They were connecting to old steel pipes from the water main and warned us that the old pipes might crumble and it could turn into a larger job at higher cost. They deftly connected the new pipes to the old, and expertly integrated the new valve to our existing plumbing and sprinkler system. Tony was very responsive to my requests, prompt for his appointment, and thorough on good listening. We were so confident that we hired him again to install a valve for our refrigerator ice maker. For both projects, Tony listened to my requests, then he explained what the project entailed, possible difficulties, and different scenarios. He finished within the estimated time and we haven't had problems since. I will definitely call Bay Plumbing again! read more

Clogged sink, toilet and water coming up the shower drain as I'm trying to cook dinner - what a nightmare! After calling 12+ plumbing companies with no availability or just an answering machine, I was so relieved that Tony not only picked up the phone, but had a conversation about what was going on and when he was available (8am the next day). So many other companies that I called simply answered the phone to tell me they were unavailable. What struck me most was his professional manner: calm, helpful and friendly without being pushy or demanding. He explained possible causes and patiently answered my questions about if it was okay to use our bathrooms and faucets by explaining what he thought the issue might be and why it might be risky to use them. He reconfirmed our appointment via text later in the evening and also texted me in the morning as he was heading over (arriving within the time frame he promised the night before.) Tony arrived with his assistant and immediately put on shoe covers before entering our home. As a neat freak and a family that doesn't wear shoes indoors, I appreciated this. He was also careful to take on/off his shoe covers whenever he entered our home - he wasn't just wearing them for show. After asking some questions and taking a look at our drains, he explained what he thought the problem might be and how he would tackle fixing it. His pricing was fair and included a warranty. He ended up having to use the mechanical snake from more than one area on our property to reach the clog and didn't raise the price for the extra effort involved. Afterwards, he checked to ensure the clog was resolved. Bay Plumbing was professional, efficient, and reasonably priced. Tony is also just a nice guy who does good work. When we need our water heater replaced or any other plumbing needs, I'll be calling him. read more

I very much recommend Bay Plumbing. A long-brewing problem in my bathroom -- tub draining slowly, water coming out onto floor from around toilet -- turned into an urgent disaster. Tony at Bay plumbing came out immediately and helped me triage the problem. I could not afford the ultimate fix because i am a cancer patient with limited funds but he worked with me to find a solution that I could afford. Work people super. Really stellar team. When one is in a crisis, one needs this kind of understanding and fairness. Call them first! read more

We had a leak between two floors, and Tony came within an hour of our call (and gave us regular updates on his estimated time of arrival within that hour). He gave us several different options to address the issue (differing levels of invasiveness and effectiveness). His diagnosis was free, and his rate for the work very affordable. He checked in with us at every step of the process to update us and let us know how he was proceeding. For the elements of the work he couldn't do (tiling), he was able to recommend a contractor. Also worth noting that, during this time of SIP, he arrived masked and gloved without us asking. Overall very reliable and great service! read more

These guys were professional and small business. They came in ready to fix the problem and knew what they were doing. Give me a low and high end estimate after a couple of pictures. They showed up on time and did the job in the amount of time they estimated; one hour despite unforeseen setbacks. I would definitely call them again without any hesitation. read more

Tony is excellent. During the Coronavirus Shelter in Place he was quick to respond. A bunch of us in our neighborhood decided it was time to get our Earthquake gas shutoff valves installed for a number of houses. Tony was helpful with all of us neighbors, dealing with each of us individually for the work and payment, etc. Good communication and collaboration. He and his helper wore masks and kept social distancing. His pricing was fair and he explained it clearly. He treated each house and owner individually, explaining possible issues that might come up (e.g. an old furnace problem, a meter that was under the house--might be better to get it moved out from under first, etc). He seemed knowledgeable and straightforward. He left everything cleaned up nicely. Everybody was very happy with him and happy to find a new plumber as well. In the middle of installing our gas shutoff valves he also dealt with a sink issue I had at work. He took time out to fix the faucet assembly so we wouldn't have to buy a new one. This was on a weekend! He was very fair about all of it. Very handy and price conscious which I appreciated. I've recommended him to other friends since then and they've been very happy with him as well. read more

We recently had a drainage issue in our bathroom. Called them in the morning and received their response immediately. They said that they would be able to come to our house in the afternoon. They showed up on time and took care of our problem. They did the difficult task of working in a tight space in our basement. They were respectful in that they took off their shoes when entering our house. Their fee was reasonable. I would highly recommend this local business. read more

I don't usually write reviews. But I wanted to give a huge thumbs up to Tony and his assistant Rudy. I had some small jobs and a big leak. They were clear, honest, professional and responsive. I would highly recommend without reservation. read more

Tony at Bay Plumbing is just amazing! My garbage disposal had not been working for a month and as you can imagine things were already starting to smell, lol. I had asked a couple of friends with a bit of plumbing knowledge to take a look. They tried to reset the disposal machine with no avail. They just didn't know what was wrong with the machine. After a while, I decided that I had no choice but to call an expert. That's where Tony comes into the picture. He came and take a look at our disposal unit and after 20 minutes he figured out the problem. There was a tiny spoon blocking the machine. He proceeded to take it out and Voila! The machine worked as good as new! I appreciate such a professional and honest service. Tony told us that it was great the machine still worked as it is high end machine that came with the property. I'm glad to have found Tony and Bay Plumbing and soon will be calling him to help me install a new tankless water heater. Thanks Tony! read more

I am so glad I came across Tony and Alan. I had an emergency repair on Friday 4/21. I called a local company that I dealt with in the past to fix my heater. They send me someone who broke the cartridge while force pulling it, then asked me for $2175 to cut off the tile and replace my whole shower system. My complaint to them fell on deaf ears (see my previous review the same date). So I started calling around. When I called Bay plumbing the recording said to send a text for faster response. I left a VM anyway, then texted the number with a picture of the issue. He replied to my text right away offering a free estimate within the next 2 hours. He called me a bit earlier as he finished his previous job early to check if it's ok to come in earlier than what was planned. I said yes, He checked the matter, give me 3 options, all the prices were competitive compared to other plumbers I spoke to. Tony and Alan ended up fixing the problem right there and then! He also saved me money, though pulling the broken piece was very hard. I thought the fast service, the good communication and the quality of work all exceeded my expectation. read more

Honest, dependable and fair pricing. We would trust Antonio and his crew to do excellent work with any plumbing job. Highly recommend Bay Plumbing !!! read more

Our bathtub drain was draining super slowly. Tony came out and did a great job. He was able to work me into his schedule within a day. Super kind and very quick. Helped educate us on what was set up incorrectly with our drain and what to look for in the future. Thank you, Tony! read more

We had an emergency with our water heater and even though it was after hours, Tony was able to stop by and fix the issue. He was patient and detailed in his explanations about the work and gave us a lot of options to think through. We are so grateful and would recommend to anyone! read more

I've had Tony do several projects over about 6 years, ranging from emergency drain backup problem (which he was able to resolve by coming at end of same day that I contacted him) to major job replacing old crumbling galvanized pipes with copper through entire house. Excellent and reliable work, communicates well, fair cost. read more

Our kitchen sink was leaking outside of our house and down our driveway. We got Tony's name from our neighbor and we're glad we did! He came right out the same day to diagnose it, and got everything repaired in just a couple of days. We highly recommend him to anyone! read more

He came out DURING the shelter in place to assist me! Fast response, very helpful and knowledgeable. He actually solved my issue at no charge! read more

Mystery leak in our house that we assumed was coming from the upstairs shower/tub combo. Tony and his co-worker responded same day and we completely geared up for COVID prevention (masks, gloves and shoe covers) and discovered where the leak was coming from and fixed it quickly. They also offer a 90 day warranty on their work if there are any issues. Very professional and efficient plumbers that I recommend highly. read more

I was very impressed with the quality of work and professional manner of the owner. He communicated well as to arrival and the scope of the job. I would not hesitate to call them again. Definitely a five star service experience. read more

Antonio is absolutely wonderful, professional, extremely responsive, so friendly and very knowledgeable. And he does great work. We had a sump pump go down during the last rain and it caused major flooding in our basement. I called and he came out the next morning. He installed a new pump right away. Just tonight, we noticed that the pump was constantly going and I was afraid that the motor would burn out. I texted to schedule for tomorrow, and he texted right back saying he'll be at my house in 30 min. Turned out that there was a rock stuck under the pump base. He fixed it and now it's good to go. Antonio is the man! read more

I recently called Bay Plumbing to get a second quote on a gas pipe repair when another company's estimate seemed very high. The quote was much more in line with my budget so I had Tony do the work. The team was on-time, completed the work as promised and cleaned up after (always appreciated). I subsequently hired Tony to do some work in the kitchen and laundry room to move appliance hook-ups and install a new disposal. Throughout the projects, the team has been great. Tony explains the work in detail before beginning to set a proper expectation for timing and the final outcome. There have been no hidden fees and we even worked to adjust a portion of the project at no extra cost. I highly recommend Bay Plumbing in Berkeley and plan to work with Tony on future remodeling projects. read more

Tony and his crew came by to install an earthquake shutoff valve on the natural gas line coming into my house. They also handled several other neighbors' homes on the same day. The work was high-quality, fast, and complete. Very impressed and will not hesitate to call them again for all future plumbing needs! read more
