    Before

    Great response time, great quote, great advice and great service, overall pretty awesome!

    Installed a new PRV, with new piping, and set the pressure to a safe 70 PSI.
    Phil P.

    We recently had Gallo's Plumbing & Rooter replace our PRV, and the experience was great from start to finish. The team was friendly, professional, and explained everything clearly. They did clean, efficient work and made sure the pressure was set properly before wrapping up. Their quote also came in at a great value compared to other companies we contacted.

    Highly recommend Julio and his team! The contractor that did our bathroom remodel failed to put shut offs under both sinks in the bathroom. Gallo plumbing was quick, affordable, and came out the next day to fix the job perfectly! Would absolutely hire them again!

    RO system

    I had this RO system from my previous house. Contacted them for a quote and their response was quick and cut to the chase with a flat fee everything included. Show up on time and installed the system without any problem. They even explained and answered some of my other plumbing questions that is not related to this project.

    I had a last minute emergency on a Saturday of all days. Water valve broke underneath kitchen sink and had to shut off my main.... I contacted "Gallos Plumbing and Rooter" because of their 24hr services. Julio showed up asap and he assessed the issue and let me that it wasn't going to be an easy job because the plastic pipes were really brittle and worn out. In the end he got it done in a timely manner and at a very fair price despite being an emergency. His work was a life saver, and gave me tips to prevent issues in the future. It's hard to find a plumber you can trust, but Julio is the real deal. I'll definitely be calling him again!

    Main cause of the leak

    Incredible experience from start to finish! When my water bill suddenly spiked and I noticed water pooling near the meter, I contacted the water company. They confirmed a leak in the pipe coming out of the meter and we shut off the water. I was in urgent need of a reliable plumber and found Gallo's Plumbing & Rooter on Yelp--and I'm so glad I did. Julio contacted me right away and said he was in the area. He showed up within the hour--professional, friendly, and clearly very skilled. After a quick assessment and a few thoughtful questions, he gave me a free estimate and clearly explained the scope of work. Julio was incredibly organized. He neatly raked back the mulch, dug out the area with care, and located the leaking pipe. Once he identified the exact issue, he left to pick up the necessary parts and returned promptly. He replaced the damaged section of pipe with precision, making sure everything was sealed and secure. Given the high-pressure line from the meter, he waited nearly two hours before testing to ensure the repair held--and it did, perfectly. The price he quoted was the price I paid. No surprises, no upselling--just honest, quality work. Julio has absolutely earned my trust. I now have a go-to plumber, and I wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend Gallo's Plumbing & Rooter to anyone. 5 stars. Highly recommended. EVEN MORE TO SHARE... Today, a day after the repair was completed, there was another leak detected. This leak came from a sprinkler drip line near where the work was done. The line must have been accidentally nicked with the shovel used to dig out the original repair at the meter. Julio came back right away. He not only fixed that leak, but on his own, he found another line with a leak and repaired that too. He took extra time to clean up and make the area look like new even after I said there are no need to do that. Julio and Gallo's Plumbing & Rooter go above and beyond to do everything possible to make their customers happy. I wish I could give them 10 stars!

    2nd leak.

We had Jovani work on three separate issues during his visit: clearing the kitchen sink drain, which was not draining properly, he then replaced and disposed of an upstairs toilet, and finally replaced the cartridge from a dripping bathtub faucet. Jovani made sure we were satisfied with his work as he addressed each issue along the way. He completed the job in a timely manner and cleaned up after himself. I would use Plumbing Guys for future plumbing needs.

I was quoted much higher than necessary for the work needed. I was told to snake my drain would be close to $400 and I didn't have a clean out drain needed one installed. Cost would be $1800. I said no thank you to both services and the tech left. (I later found the clean out under the house where the tech looked and said one wasn't there) Was here less than 5 minutes. Weeks later I had a text sent to me from a random phone number with a link to an invoice demanding payment for services never rendered. With the amount of scam texts people receive I ignored the text message. Fast forward to a months later I get an angry phone call demanding payment. After I explained service was never rendered from whoever the person was from this company who was adamant that they performed a service, I tried to explain nothing was done. That person then angrily said never call us again. I said no problem, I wouldn't do business with anyone who operates in this manner. Couldn't finish my statement though cause the guy hung up on me. I WOULD NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH ANYONE WHO TREATS POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS SO HORRIBLY! I've worked in hospitality for years, and this goes against every principle of good customer service. I hope you see this review owner of this company and address this issue. Word of mouth is everything in this business. And treating customers even those who opted out of potential services with respect is paramount in maintaining a good reputation. Do better guys.

    Let's be honest -- no one wants to call a plumber. It usually means something has already gone very…read morewrong... and that was definitely the case for me. I had a nasty clog backing things up and what turned out to be a small leak in one of my pipes. After a mild panic session, I called Star Rooter in Hayward. From the start, they were friendly and easy to talk to, which honestly helped calm me down. They came out, assessed everything, and let me know my line needed to be snaked. They explained what they were doing, didn't make me feel clueless, and got straight to work. The clog was cleared, and they were also able to fix the leak in my pipes the same visit. Huge relief. Now, plumbing work is not cheap -- and nobody is excited to pay for it -- but they got the job done efficiently and professionally. I'd rather pay once and have it handled correctly than deal with repeat issues. They mentioned there's a 10% discount if you say you found them on Yelp. I'm not 100% sure if it was applied to my final bill, but it's worth asking about when you call. Overall, solid experience. Friendly crew, quick response, and they fixed the problem without dragging things out. If you're in Hayward and dealing with plumbing drama, Star Rooter got it done for me.

The replaced our corroded p trap efficiently with a PVC replacement and explained why that is better option going forward. I appreciated the fact that Josh cleaned up after they finished the repair. I was impressed with the response time, communication, professionalism and efficiency of Josh and the rest of the Star Rooter team.
