Had a water heater that started leaking. Eli came out and said that it would require a new water heater, however, he did a Band-Aid fix to get by for a couple days until the new water heater came in that I had him install. That Band-Aid fix was $150, in addition to the cost of the new water heater and having it installed a couple days later. I would've hoped that considering I was buying the water heater and having it installed through him that he could applied the cost of that Band-Aid fix towards the new water heater and install. You know, just maybe a little discount for using him for both services. $150 for a fix that was only used for two days doesn't sound like a good deal to me. read more

Today was the second time we have had EB Plumbing. Eli goes the extra mile and knows his business. We highly recommend him!

Overpriced. Eric came out on short notice for a broken toilet. However, he wanted to charge me over $550 to fix a broken toilet shut off valve plus new fill valve in the tank. I was shocked at the cost and he said that he has a minimum charge for just showing up and I could get someone else to do the fix. Then he said he would charge $96 for diagnosing the problem. But he never said anything about the $96 over the phone before he came. That is just wrong. He ended up doing it for $450. Should have been $250 for the minimal work, time, and product involved. I won't use EB Plumbing again. read more

Eli at EB Plumbing is the best! He has rescued my drains more then once now and also installed a gas line to my fireplace and other jobs over the last few years. I've never met such a can-do/reasonable plumber. Prices are very reasonable and love his friendly attitude. We are so lucky to have Eli in our area! read more

This was a great experience. He came out on his day off to meet my schedule and did a fast diagnosis and repair for a low price. Highly recommended! read more

Excellent Customer Service! We had a sudden and severe faucet leak that developed; and just before a long weekend, no less. I contacted my regular plumber who was, not surprisingly, unavailable until the next Tuesday. We needed help! The faucet was not just dripping, it was running and clearly more than our unskilled efforts could repair. My go-to for sudden emergency help was the Yelp community; it did not disappoint. I chose EB Plumbing based on its customer ratings (first and foremost) and next its proximity to me. I always hold my breath when I go outside of my regular providers, but Eli, the principal plumber, was great! On our call, he told me that he was committed to another job that morning, but that he would swing by, take a look to see if he could stop it or slow it down, go to his scheduled appointment, then come back in the afternoon to finish mine up. I was stunned! He was going WAY beyond what I had experienced with other new contractors. He came exactly when he said he would (promptness is very important to me), assessed the leak and told me that he was heading out to buy the part he needed. Even over my protestations, because I knew he had a scheduled appointment that I really didn't want him to be late for, he declared that he could fix my problem with the necessary part and still make it to his appointment on time. He also said that he didn't want me to have to go all day long without having access to running water in the house. We had to turn the main water valve off, because of the amount of water we were losing because of the leak. Eli found the original brand part, not an after market piece, and fixed the leak really quickly. I was SO grateful and he was SO kind and considerate. This is a rare quality in contractors these days; at least the ones I've had to deal with. Bottom line: EB Plumbing was prompt, true to their word, efficient, fast, skilled, polite, personable and considerate (did I mention that he cleared the trap of hair too?!) I would recommend them and use them again. Thank you Eli! You literally saved our weekend. read more

3 days without water, 3 failed repair attempts (the pipes literally broke apart ALL THREE TIMES when we turned the water back on), $500 literally down the drain... This was one of the worst experiences we've ever had with any repairman, ever. When we called a professional plumber to fix his mistakes they said it looked like he hadn't even used any cement on some of the pipe joints (which is why they didn't hold together). They fixed the pipes in 8 hours without any issues... When I called Eli and told him that his repair failed for the third time he said that "outside plumbing" wasn't his specialty. Never bothered to offer a refund or make it right. BUYER BEWARE... read more

Great on all three: Reliable, on time per time range and service well done! Will use EB plumbing again.

We had a toilet leak emergency and had to shut our water off. Called Eli of EB Plumbing, he answered the call and came in less than two hours. Fixed everything super fast and perfect. Highly recommend read more

Prompt and willing to address my plumbing issues on short notice while most other plumbers were booked up. Eli was quick to respond and knows his trade. Definitely recommended! read more

Eli is amazing...i never saw the guy but my water pipe burst at 11:30pm and needed water to shower and poop. Called him up the next day while i was at work and he showed up to my place and got the job done without my presence. I had to ask a friend to drop by and pay him because he didnt accept debit or credit. Overall, pleased with the job, now i can drop a deuce. read more

EB Plumbing - After - Plumbing Near Me

Eli has provided service two times for my rental. On both occasions he communicated well and was professional in his conduct.

I would recommend Eli and I will continue to call on him in the future. read more

Our water heater started leaking the day after Christmas, no plumbers available. we called E.B. Plumbing and he said he would be at our house at 12:00 PM. He showed up on time, and a couple of hours later, he was finished. Very nice job, our water heater is now up to code. Eli Benshushan is the owner of E.B. Plumbing, and I highly recommend his service read more

I woke up to our second floor tub empting into our first floor. What a mess. My wife looked on Yelp (a great idea) and she found Eli, he was able to come by in about an hour. Had to snake the drain to clear a clog. Problem solved quickly and inexpensively. We were very pleased, would gladly refer. read more

EB plumbing is honest, and fair. I needed my outside pipe snaked. He arrived in a timely manner. Very professional.

Professional. Said would arrive in 15 minutes, and 15 minutes later he's ringing the bell. Main sewer line clogged, backing up water from washing machine to kitchen sink. Found problem quickly. Moved dryer out, washing machine out. Then moved them back in. Quick in, quick out. Eli doesn't take credit card, so be sure to have check or cash standing by. read more

I'd give him 6 stars if I could. Eli came out to deal with an emergency drain issue. Fit us in on very short notice. Diagnosed the problem, fixed it and didn't gouge us. What more can you want in a plumber? Highly recommended! read more

EB showed up on time; same day I called to fix a broker shower mixing valve that had our shower down for five days ! I had called three local companies prior (two scheduled and changed three times; another never called back). Called EB on advise of Cal Steam in Emeryville as I went there to buy new part (saves Plumber time and you $). Called EB at 10am; he called back a little after 11 am ! He scheduled me for 2pm the same day; said it might be later if he ran it to trouble at current job. Showed up early ( after phone call); very COVID sensitive; very professional and friendly. Solved problem and installed new part in less than an hour and tested the install twice before he was satisfied (" I'm here now and it would be better if I didn't have to come back if it didn't work"; he said). I have never met a better plumber in 32 yrs of home ownership ! I will not even consider anyone else except E. B. Plumbing ! read more

EB Plumbing did a great job for us replacing a water heater. We called late Friday afternoon and Eli was here first thing Saturday morning. He was very knowledgeable and worked quickly and efficiently .. and was a pleasure to work with. I hope we don't need a plumber - but if we do - we will definitely call Eli again. read more

My main sewer drain pipe in our house backed up on Saturday so a friend of mine suggested I call E.B. Plumbing and agreed to come out on Sunday PM. I did and Eli, from EB Plumbing, showed up ahead of schedule on Sunday AM! Eli is a very pleasant man with a great calm disposition. He listed to my description of the problem and immediately went to work. Eli in a short period of time had done his work and cleared out the blockage in our main sewer drain pipe! I am very grateful to Eli for coming out to our house on a Sunday! I highly recommend E.B. Plumbing to all and am sure you will not be disappointed. read more

Just recently we remolded our bathroom. We had just great success with EB Plumbing, so we called Eli again for his help. We had EB Plumbing reconfigure the shower pipes. He also remove and replace the old sink plumbing and he helped us also with toilet. Eli worked really well with the granite company and tile setter. He was able to make arrangements to come in between projects. This really helped and took away alot of stress during construction. Once again, I truly recommend EB Plumbing read more

The gardener had caused a pipe burst when uprooting an old dead tree, then turned off the mains and left. When I came home from work there was no water, anywhere. On a Fri evening at 5.30pm. :-( By the time I called around and got a number of "sorry"s it was 6.15 or so. Although he closes at 6 and it was a Fri evening Eli came over in 20 mins, fixed the problem in another 20 mins, and the charge was entirely reasonable for an after hours emergency job. Thanks much, Eli!! I will use his services again and again. read more

Hi there. I used eb plumbing services for several issues in my home. Service was exceptionally good all of these times. The staff are clean and punctual. Quotes and pricing is always fair. Nobody likes to handle plumbing issues and god knows they never pops up in the right time... Keep eb plumbing's number at hand for exactly these cases. You won't be disappointed. read more

Very quick and good service. I called about a toilet problem. He came out the same day and fixed it in no time. If you are in the El Sobrante area, use this plumber. read more

Believe it or not, Eli Benshushan is the man of your dreams. Professional, older man-candy and very personable. I called, he answered, we spoke about the problem (clogged kitchen sink), and he came over at my time period, versus what normal plumbers want, at their time period. My sink was cleared within 15 minutes and for a very reasonable fee. And he even went out of his way to fix my kitchen sink nozzle, at no charge, when I commented that I was not happy with my water pressure. Now, how good can that be! ....Accepts cash or check read more

Eli came out in 1 hour, as promised. This was on a Sunday. Complicated problem, he called in a "camera technician" and figured out the problem. Has was very respectful of my tenants needs. Great guy, I recommend him for sure. read more

Eli did a great job rootering out my sewer, his pricing is reasonable, and he is a very nice, friendly person. I highly recommend him.

I found Eli on Yelp and he's fully deserving of his reviews. The first time he came out on a Saturday within 10 minutes of me calling (I think he lives about a mile away). He's fixed pipe leaks for me twice and is very efficient, quick, has reasonable prices, and does excellent work. read more

I've had EB plumbing come do several plumbing repairs in the short time I've lived in El Sobrante. Twice for a backed up toilet and once for a sink issue. Eli has always arrived very quickly. He has always fixed the issue right away. His costs are reasonable. My only issue is.... when he starts his work he puts on DIRTY used gloves. They are disposable gloves that appear to be used several times before his tosses them. During his repairs he ends up touching several surfaces in my home and the area that he is working, such as door knobs, walls, faucets, light switches. So after he leaves I always have to do a full sanitation of everything he has touched. I hate to think what could be on those gloves. I wish he would use new gloves at each job. read more

Our water heater sprung a leak. Eli told me he was in the middle of a project he could not leave, but gave me a timeframe when I could expect him to come replace my water heater. He was prompt and efficient in draining the old heater and replacing it with a new comparable one. He was trying to pack to go on vacation, but when it seemed the new heater was not staying lit properly, he purchased another one and came and swapped it out so we would be comfortable and not have to deal with finding another plumber in his absence. Turned out not to be a faulty heater, but he was very patient and considerate in helping us resolve our heater issues after installing #2 even though he needed to be at home packing for his scheduled trip. I would definitely have him come to work on our plumbing issues in the future. read more

We woke up to a cold shower on a Sunday morning, the day of my best friend's wedding. After hours spent trying to get someone to service our water heater before next week / millennium, we stumbled upon EB Plumbing. Eli said he'd come within an hour and he kept his word. After that, the process was painless - he diagnosed it, replaced the part, turned it on, and - voila! - of course it worked! Thank you Eli, we are glad we met you, and we will tell our friends, too. Duka & Miro Ristic, Hercules, CA. read more

Eli plumping company is awesome. Eli did a wonderful job and I would highly recommend his services. Very positive experience.

Great service- Eli is very reliable,and right on time. Highly recommended! read more

Our hot water heater went out and we were able to get Eli out the next day to replace it. Eli is professional, prompt, friendly and the price was what he quoted. We will definitely use him again. read more

Eli was prompt and efficient, his prices were good and he was very pleasant to work with. I would definitely use his services again.

Eli is the owner of EB Plumbing and a licensed contractor. He appeared to be a reliable professional and easy to communicate with. During water heater installation at my rental condo he took upon himself an extra duty to notify other tenants of the same building about water service installation. The work was done on time, with top quality and reasonable price. I will go ahead and pass Eli's reference to my friends. read more

i bought a house last christmas and now (2+ months later) i found dripping from the ceiling of my garage and which is right under my master bathroom. the first plumber (not EB Plumbing) told me there was no easy fix because the the leak had been a while and appeared coming from numerous cracks between the shower tiles/walls so i had to pull out my old shower and install a new one. he said such a remodel would typically cost $10,000-$30,000 (and 2-3 weeks) depending on the scope and quality. then i called EB Plumbing for a second opinion. Eli came and took a look and told me that my problem was not that serious and he was confident my problem could be fixed by caulking/sealing ($250-$300) all the cracks and the fix should be good for several years. Two days later, Eli's wife Racheli, an sculpture artist, came and did a beautiful caulking (most likely one wouldn't notice if i don't tell her/him). And then four days later Racheli came again and did sealing. Then I waited another four days before turning the shower back on and found no more leak. i feel confident about Eli and Racheli's work and of course will have to keep my eyes on my garage ceiling all the time. read more

Eli was fast, courteous and efficient. He's a good communicator, not only fixing my immediate repairs but letting me know what should be attended to when I have the time and money for upgrades. I will definitely call on him again at that time. read more

Ely never fails me. A bigger job today at my home. He brought two men with him. All were professional, hardworking, nice and cleaned up any trace of dirt in my front yard. I can't thank you enough!! I would never hire anyone else, well except for his two helpers. read more
