Everest Plumbing did our sewer lateral and were great to work with! We got a bid before we bought the house, but didn't end up doing the work until later. Even though we were technically outside their contract window, they still honored the original price, which we really appreciated. The team was super responsive, and everyone was really friendly. The work was all done in a day and they wrapped up earlier than I expected. Definitely recommend them if you need your sewer lateral done! read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Amazing work and service for my sewer lateral repair. They handled everything from start to finishes. Gave a timely bid with competitive pricing and handled all the back end with the city/utilities. The crew was detailed and professional- you can't even tell they were up the their waste in dirt to make the repairs. Not to geek out too much, but their concrete and asphalt works is beautiful! Oh, and the East Bay MUD inspector and crew are on a first name basis :) read more

Everest Plumbing - Plumbing Near Me - El Cerrito, California

I was looking at bids for lateral sewage line replacements 3 years ago and never got it done. But now, a couple of weeks ago I went with the company with the lowest bid (that had been recommended to me by my wonderful plumber). I have a very large, two-storey, building (from 1900) that straddles a whole corner and has complicated old plumbing. I got the new bid (still l almost half of what other companies told me 3 years ago) and they started work within a few days. From the get go the communication was great. Jorge, the foreman for want of a better word, was a pleasure. And the whole, HUGE thing was done in about 2 days. The crew of four worked really hard 8 hours each day and did a wonderful job which included digging large holes by hand, removing some sidewalk and parts of various cement walkways. The redid the pavement beautifully and they cleaned up after themselves really well. I can't recommend them enough. Fantastic Everest Plumbing. read more

Everest and their crew were awesome...I highly recommend! They did our sewer lateral replacement in one day. Smooth process handling the entire process (permit included) professionally. They also left the job site spotless. Great value as well. Would use them again anytime! read more

They took care of my mandatory sewer lateral replacement in a prompt and efficient manner. Easy to work with and as far as I can tell they did a great job! read more

Everest plumbing was AMAZING. Honesty, integrity, competence. I wish more businesses were like them.

Everest replaced my sewer lateral on Thursday (1/16/25). They were amazing. They handled the permitting, the job (which included hand trenching), the inspections (City of Oakland and EBMUD), and the cleanup which involved my yard and the street. Everything was done and buttoned up in one day. Highly recommend this efficient and friendly crew who came in with a competitive bid. 5 Stars. read more

Everest Plumbing took care of replacing our 100 year old sewer lateral and made the whole process a great experience. Our lateral was share with our next door neighbor. Long story, but suffice it to say that corners were cut a long time ago. Everest worked with both of us to put together a plan that would satisfy us as well as the city. They took care of the permits and inspection. I would highly recommend Everest Plumbing. read more

Everest Plumbing helped me with a Sewer Lateral upgrade in Alameda. They did a very thorough and professional job with no hassle. They ensured that dig alert was contacted well before starting work, and they were able to complete the job within a day pretty much independently. They also reached out to the city and got the certificate filed to verify the work required by the city was completed. They even did a good job replacing the sod they dug up during their work! I would definitely recommend! read more

Used these guys to upgrade the sewer lateral in a recently purchased house. Their bid was the lowest. The house is old and on a hill but they handled everything no problems. Service was excellent. Highly recommend. read more

Excellent Job replacing our sewer lateral! Seamless communication from start to finish! They fit us into their very busy schedule for a rush job when our cranky sewer line turned into a non-functional line as emerging tree roots took control. Everest's estimate was very competitive and we got a superb job that we could feel confident about from start to finish. We highly recommend them. read more

What the heck! Needed a pressure test. Everest was the low bid, but almost immediately started up the concrete saw, clearly intending to double the bill! We stopped them to ask some questions, and were told "stop asking questions, we know what we're doing". Took us all of 2 seconds to fire them and move on. Only good notes: they showed up on the right day and time. And didn't charge us for the failed visit. Maybe they could be great for a simple job, but keep an eye on them! read more

We recently purchased our property and had to get a sewer lateral certification as part of the process. I had no idea what that was or what the process entailed, but Tsering was not only very kind and informative, but his quote was also one, if not the most, affordable we found. He answered all my questions and his team worked really hard to help us pass our test, which saved us a ton of money as a result. I would 10/10 recommend him and his team! Thanks again Tsering and Everest Plumbing! read more

Everest was recommended to me by a neighbor who, like me, had to replace a sewer lateral line. Their bid was more reasonable than several others that I had obtained, and included all the permits and compliance certificates. Both Lhapka and Tsering are really nice folks, and were incredibly easy to work with. They responded promptly to all communications, keeping me apprised of the status of my project, and accommodating my own scheduling issues. Even though it was lightly raining on the day they were to replace the lateral line, their crew brought along their own tent, and completed the work in a timely fashion. I could not have been more pleased with Everest and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of sewer work. read more

Tsering and his crew just left a couple hours earlier than I anticipated - our Sewer Lateral inspection is passed (!!) and the areas where they worked are spotless. I was rather anxious about the whole thing given we got vastly different quotes from people (upwards of $7500+) but Everest was not only one of, if not the most affordable, but clearly their reviews here are legit (which I'm always a bit leery about). Overall, I can't say enough good things and would highly recommend them. read more

Everest did our sewer lateral replacement for us in Berkeley. They did a fantastic job and went out of their way to put down tarps and tie back plants and foliage to avoid damaging anything. They really stood out compared to other crews with how much they cared for the yard and how it looked great once they were done and cleaned up. They handled the old quirky house difficulties with ease at the dig locations also even though it took extra work. We are very glad we chose to go with Everest. read more

Iv just got my sewer lateral done with Everest. They are very punctual and are willing to work with clients tight schedule, even though they are very much fully booked. I highly recommend this company. The experience with them was so smooth and pleasant. And the price was quite reasonable comparing to other companies that provided quotation. Very trustable and hassle free! read more

A home we recently purchased needed to have the sewer lateral replaced and the sellers included a quote from Everest in our disclosures. After looking them up on Yelp, we realized that pretty much everyone in our area calls them for service so we decided to give them a call too. The team at Everest was really easy to work with - they came to inspect the property prior to the job, they had great communication by email, they were on time for the job and they finished on time too. The process was super easy on our end but a lot of work on theirs; I now understand why it's so expensive to have a sewer lateral replaced. They had to dig pretty far out into the street, patch cement work in our driveway (which was done really nicely), and it was an all day effort. Many thanks to the crew for being such nice people to work with! read more

Excellent service. Fast response and they left the area very clean. Worked with the city inspector and got the compliance certificate the next day. I highly recommend them! read more

This company re-lined our sewer lateral. Their bid was the lowest and they did an excellent job. Absolutely no problems

We had two other places out to give us bids on our sewer lateral on our new house. The other places were awful, running late and completely clueless on what to do. I finally called Everest and they had actually give the previous owner a quote earlier this year and had all the info. They came and did the work at the price quoted and they didn't leave a mess. I highly recommend this place. read more

Professional, affordable, and clear on price. They cleaned up the site well and I wound definitely recommend!

Recently needed their services to replace the sewer lateral one our house. They communicated very well, explaining what was included in estimate including the permitting, length of job and what to expect on the day. They took care of everything and did a great job. Really nice people and quality service. read more

I represented the buyers in the recent sale of a home in Kensington that needed a sewer lateral done. The agent repping the seller has already selected Tsering to visit the property for the inspection prior to putting it on the market, and we decided to hire Everest for the job after getting into escrow. Could not have been happier with the co-agent's choice as Everest's communication and work ethic proved to be worth every penny. Although the job itself turned out to be much more involved than the inspection let on, Tsering honored the original quote and remained helpful and courteous despite the extra labor. Thank you for being a standup professional! read more

We just had our sewer lateral replaced and we couldn't be happier that we chose Everest to do the job. Super friendly, great comms, very neat, very efficient - and very competitive pricing! What's not to like! read more

I would highly-recommend Everest Plumbing to anyone who needs a sewer lateral replacement. When we bought our home in November, we knew we had to do our sewer lateral and estimated it would cost anywhere from 5,500-8k. (The bid with our disclosures was 5,999). After researching and quoting four plumbing services, Tsering and Lhakpa stood out from the rest in their genuine and thoughtful approach. They were incredibly responsive over email (I think Lhapka and I emailed over 8x and she would respond within the hour) and phone. Tsering came to look at our home twice - examining the basement, etc, making notes, and emailed a thorough estimate of $6500. This was very much on par with the three other plumbers. Why choose them? Because I actually felt good giving them our money. Hard-working, honest people. I mailed a deposit check and we scheduled a date easily but rescheduled the day before due to rain. Lhakpa had alternate options ready for me, and confirmed the day prior. Tsering and his team showed up early and worked well beyond the quoted 6-7 hrs time (our sewer line was ~6' down instead of the usual ~3'). My quote stayed the same despite the unexpected depth. I think they worked for at least 10 hours. I gave them a nice tip for the extra labor/time and it was well worth it. (To note, we had three sewer outputs - can't recall the specific term - from our home to our sewer line and from what I understood there's usually one so this may have added to our quote and time). Tsering and his crew were so professional and explained everything. The inspector came and gave approval. Tsering organized everything on his end with the City. They also did a really clean job on the concrete refill/patching of our driveway and street. They cleaned everything when they were done. One they left no one would have known that half our driveway was excavated. One final note, Tsering also wanted to be sure I had my inspection certificate in my email before he would accept my check. Seriously, so thoughtful and professional start to finish. We couldn't have been happier with using them. read more

Everest Plumbing replaced our sewer lateral in a home my husband and I purchased last year. Tsering was communicative, prompt, and the job was done well - I was particularly impressed at the amount of clean up his crew did to ensure our yard was back to normal. I had to reach out to him again after we found out about a plumbing issue, and Tsering was quick to respond, sending a crew out within a day to help us. Thanks guys for your hard work and very being easy to depend on and trustworthy! read more

We had a fantastic experience with Everest! We needed to replace the sewer lateral on a home we'd recently bought. They were prompt in coming out to take a look and provide an estimate, and flexible with scheduling for the job. When the day of the job came it was raining on and off, but the guys went ahead and went to work, because rescheduling would have put us another month out. They started at around 9AM and were wrapping up by 3PM even with the less-than-ideal weather, and they emailed us our certificate of compliance that evening. Pretty painless and fast experience! read more

Tsering and his team are great. They were very professional and great communication through out. I got multiple bids but the way Tsering made me feel confident from day one with my questions and suggestions. I appreciate their help and will recommend them to anybody looking for PSL work in the Oakland/ Berkeley area. read more

We needed a sewer lateral done. Everest gave a very competitive offer (and I've called a few plumbing companies - the difference was substantial), did their work in less than a day, and left the site clean. Two days later they emailed me the needed certificate. I don't plan on doing any sewer laterals again, but if you need to, I can highly recommend Tsering and his crew. read more

Every aspect of Everest Plumbing's service was completed wonderfully! Tsering - Lhapka and The Crew did it all with the grace of the Dalai Lama! Thank you for your version of plumbing perfection. Nancy and Bill + read more

Love Everest Plumbing. We've used them many times, and the owners are very sweet and kind. They do good work and the prices are fair. I would absolutely recommend. Now they only do sewer lateral work at this time, as I understand. read more

Bottom line: Wonderful local team that provided individual attention and did thorough quality work on a complicated site for a competitive price. I purchased a new home that required mandatory sewer lateral replacement and structure/location of the pipes was not as straightforward as many. It required a fair amount of excavation despite the overall trenchless approach. Tsering took extra time and came to my home to show me explicitly the challenges and what I could expect; they finished the entire job and completely backfilled/replaced all of the hardscape in a very reasonable timeframe for a very competitive price. Honestly could not have been better, exceeded all expectation. read more

If you're looking to have your sewer lateral replaced, I highly recommend Everest Plumbing. Lhakpa was very responsive via email and provided me with clear instructions on what to do/expect on the day of the sewer lateral replacement. The other businesses that I had communicated with either didn't respond to my emails after providing me with an estimate or literally took weeks to respond, and these were other east bay businesses that were highly rated on Yelp. I quickly signed the estimate/proposal that Everest provided me thanks to their promptness and thoroughness. On the day of the job, I met up with Tsering in the morning around 8:30am before I took off for work. His workers were all there and were in the process of blocking off a portion of the street. He gave me a call around 4PM in the afternoon to let me know that the work had been completed and I received an email shortly after from Lhakpa with a copy of the EBMUD sewer lateral certificate. Lhakpa/Tsering took care of securing all of the permits and EBMUD testing and made the process very seamless. Their hard work is appreciated and I would not hesitate to do business with them again. read more

Really happy with Tsering and his team! Tsering was recommended to us by our realtor. He was prompt, responsive and his team replaced our sewer lateral lines on time and within budget. He also got all the permits and compliance certificates needed and was super helpful in explaining what we needed to do to get our deposit back from city of Berkeley. 100% recommend! read more

Everest Plumbing gave me a very fair quote for a sewer lateral replacement. The work was completed on time, and all follow-ups done. They were very reliable. I didn't meet any of them personally, but Lhakpa responded promptly via email and gave clear instructions. Highly recommended! read more

I am giving Everest Plumbing such a high rating for many reasons, the largest being Tsering. As has been said in many other postings, he is simply great. We have had them come out several times to service several different projects and they have continued to provide a high level of service each and everytime! The biggest project we've had them work on was an issue we had with 1 bathroom backing up everytime it rained. Turns out the pipe that goes to the City's sewer system was mostly blocked by a bunch of stuff. They had someone here the same day to clear the blockage and we haven't had any issues since. 10 months with no problems!!! We've had many other plumbers come out and try to resolve the issue and none of them were able to, except for Everest Plumbing. Again... I don't know how many times I can say they are simply one of the best plumbing companies I have ever dealt with. read more

Everest was recommended to us by our realtor for the sewer lateral in our new home. They gave us a great price, did totally solid work, were flexible with the scheduling, and didn't charge us more for a slight customization. What more could you ask for! read more

I needed a new sewer lateral for our 1914 Berkeley house. The old clay pipes were shifting, resulting in big clogs now and then. Tsering and his crew did a required lateral test for a house my daughter bought in Kensington, and I was impressed at the speed and neatness of that job. Be advised that Everest only does outside work, that is their specialty. Tsering called back after I left a message and came to look at the job a day later. It was about 80+ of main line and another 25 of a secondary lateral, with 2 more points for kitchen and basement drains. He said it would take 2 days, and they could work around my big ferns without damage. I scheduled it for a week when we would be out of town ( the house drains cannot be used while they work.) The price was very reasonable. I got two bids but Tsering is someone I really trusted right off. The finished the entire job by 3 pm the second day. When I came back I found all the plants undamaged, a new clean out in back, and two more along the line. The yard looked better than when they started. They not only fixed my cranky gate, but apparently put in a new side lateral pipe without raising the bid. That was really going the extra mile. Thsering and his crew are the best sub contractors I've ever hired. Additionally they got the City papers to me the next day. I give them 10 stars read more
