I have hired Jesus twice and he is always efficient, great customer service and goes above and beyond.

I have two toddler boys potty training and they like to throw toys and other miscellaneous items in the toilet. Well, both toilets in the house were backed up quickly. Called J&M and they were at my house within an hour (thank you!). Transparent on cost as work progressed and respectful of my home and family. Plus, they fixed the issue quickly and went the extra mile to check beyond the flushed sunglasses. My home is now back in working order and we have J&M to thank. Greatly appreciated! read more

After starting a load of laundry, I heard toilets gurgling & found my bathtubs full of washer water. Unable to shower or use the bathroom, I frantically looked for an on-call plumber at 6am on a holiday weekend. Luckily, I found J & M Contra Costa Rooter. They answered my 6am call for help & came within the hour. Jesus immediately identified the clogged pipe. He had the proper equipment to get on the roof and clear the roots that had encroached in the pipe. I was relieved to get the issue resolved so fast. Plus, the price was reasonable for immediate help on a holiday weekend. I would definitely use this company again. They were timely, professional and knowledgeable. read more

J&M Contra Costa Rooter - Washer water in the tub - Plumbing Near Me

My bathtub drain was plugged up. We had to use a wet/dry vacuum to get the water out after each shower. I tried to root it myself with a cheap auger from Home Depot, but the auger broke, and I couldn't get it out. So, I needed that removed and the drain unplugged. The property owner made a call, and J&M arrived within 2 hours. Jesus first went to manually remove the auger, which he did within 5 minutes. Then he, and his son Angel, went to work trying to clear the tub from the tub's overflow. After about 30 minutes with no success, Jesus climbed on the roof and went through a pipe located up there (not something a plumber would typically do). Within a few minutes he had removed the blockage. Both Jesus and his son were kind and professional. They were easy to talk to, and gave us a good price considering the quick response on a Saturday afternoon. I would highly recommend them. They will be my first call for any future plumbing problems. read more

Backed up main drain on Sunday! Called Jesus and he was here in 25 min. Cleared the drain in 20 min and off he was. Highly recommend them & reasonably priced! read more

This company totally ripped me off and over charged me and I cannot get through to speak with anyone to resolve it! The number on the receipt is to a worker who quit, and the address on my receipt is not even my property address. I am contacting the Contractors State License Board to file a complaint . DO NOT HIRE J&M CONTRA COSTA ROOTER read more

Exterior waste line was blocked. Had another company come out. They couldn't clear it even with a root cutter. Said we needed a section of pipe replaced for several thousand dollars. Called J&M for a second opinion. Jesus answered and said he would come out and take a look. Arrived in 25 minutes, as he said he would. Snaked the line with a root cutter and, with a bit of effort, cleared the line. Prompt, polite, competent and reasonably priced. Couldn't ask for more! Highly recommend this family-run company. read more

Excellent service! Our kitchen pipe had cracked and become clogged, causing the sink in our garage to overflow and our washing machine to not drain. We called around 7:30 PM, and they were at our house by 8:00 PM. Everything was fixed and back to normal by 9:00 PM. We were very thankful for their quick response and professional work. J&M is reasonably priced. Thank you for your service. read more

It had been some years since we ran a snake down our rear yard drainage pipes and with the heavy rains this January, the patio drains were starting to back up, not keeping pace with the heavier rainfall. I spotted a recommendation for this family plumbing company on NextDoor and called right away at 9 AM. Jesus Sr. took my call and they were able to swing by within 2 hours to evaluate the job. The owners, Jesus Sr. and Jesus Jr., a fine young man in his late 20s or 30s, and plenty fit and energetic, actually came 10 minutes early! They patiently waited outside until I got dressed in my rain gear and met them outside. They sized up the landscaping drainage situation and analyzed the plumbing and the clean out that was available. All in heavy rain! :) Both father and son worked hard and steady for 90 minutes, including doing some shovel work into garden spots to locate the plumbing and clean outs. And they quickly dispatched a very large power auger and snaked out the critical drain pipe, blocked by Oleander roots, that hooked up to the county drainage swale on the other side of our rear yard fence. They did a great job and solved the problem efficiently, always polite and cheerful. 90 minutes later they were packed up and on the road and I even rounded up the payment with a gratuity for coming so quickly and putting our drainage system back in proper order to handle the heavy rain, during a downpour! I recommend Jesus and Jesus Jr. without reservation. I told the dad that he did a fine job raising his son, and I meant it. read more

Jesus is amazing. He is dependable and trustworthy. He's helped us twice with plumbing back ups in the evening hours. He arrived quickly both times and completed the job in less than 20 minutes. As you can see, we have root issues so we've had several different plumbers out. Do yourself a favor and give Jesus a try you will not be disappointed. read more

J&M Contra Costa Rooter - Plumbing Near Me

Highly Recommend this company, they offer a variety of services and helped fix a long issue that I was dealing with , amazing customer service! read more

My experience with J&M Contra Costa Rooter was very unpleasant. My tenant informed me that the bathtub faucet was leaking and did not stop even when she turned off the switch. A friend of hers nearby came to help and found that the issue was due to a broken cartridge that needed replacement. I had the same issue in two other units last year and hired a plumbing company (which I won't share the name here) to fix them for $325 and $350 (they encountered difficulty removing one of the cartridges, so an additional $25 was added for the extra fee, which seemed reasonable). So, I contacted that company, but unfortunately, they didn't have an available slot for the next day. So I created a project on Yelp, and J&M Contra Costa Rooter was the first company to reply. I didn't respond them first, because their rate was $250/hour, which seemed high for this type of plumbing work. Then they sent me another message saying, "Hi, I normally charge $250 an hour, but I can go take a look at the issue and give an exact estimate." Since they had good reviews on Yelp, I agreed. The next morning, the first call I received from them was that they had completed the work, and the total cost was $825. I was shocked because not only did they not give me an estimate, but the price was unbelievably high for a simple task of replacing a cartridge. When I asked the guy on the call about the cost for parts and labor and why he didn't provide an estimate before starting the work, he said he had informed my tenant the price, thinking she had told me. I was shocked again because I've known this tenant for 8 years, and I know she is a decent and reliable lady. I asked for the invoice to review the details, but the guy o the phone told me that I had to make the payment first before they could send it. He also said he could deduct $100 from the total. I guess I couldn't do anything but make the payment at that moment, I negotiated the price down to $700 and made the payment. After the call with them, I contacted my tenant, and she told me the following: "Jesus came and literally didn't listen to me when I told him it's cracked. He put all the old pieces back on! I then told you what he was trying to do, and you agreed that they needed to replace it. Jesus did not have the tools needed to remove the old cartridge and told me he had to call a friend who had the tool. It was about an hour later. They came in and were able to replace the piece within another 20 minutes at the most. He didn't say anything about the cost, and if he would've said $825, I would have known better than to have him proceed with the work." Later on, they sent me the receipt, stating that the part cost $295 and the labor cost was $405. I then requested the invoice for the cartridge they used to replace the broken one, as I wanted to see which store sells a bathtub cartridge for $295, given that the prices normally range between $20 to $50. I also questioned the labor cost because the total time they worked on this job was about 40 minutes. Even if rounded to an hour, it should be $250. What made me feel even worse is that they did not directly answer my inquiries or provide the invoice but instead blamed my tenant. As you can see from the attached photos, their response makes no sense and does not address my questions. Sorry for this lengthy story, but I hope my experience with this company may help you in making your choices if this company is on your list of options. read more

Our back patio drain was plugged, and no water would drain through. Called J&J and they answered promptly. I spoke with Jesus who had an opening the same day. He and Edwin came out and explained what the plan was. They estabished what needed to be done and began running the snake. They were able to pass through the blockage and the water once again began to flow. They were both very informative and kept explaining what was happening and cleaned up everything nicely. I would highly recommend this service as they are reliable and reasonably priced!! read more

Found this company after reading a good review on Nextdoor. I called them after my home warranty company said the blockage in my drains was not covered. They did the work for much less than what was quoted by the home warranty's plumber. Nice people, family-owned business. read more

Quick response. Replace a leaking water heater with a new one in one afternoon.

Amazing! Muy bueno¡ We had sewage bubbling up into both bathrooms- tub & shower We called Jesus really late on a Sunday night & he arrived within 10 mins! He fixed it right away, is super kind & very very resonably priced. MUCHAS GRACIAS! read more

Our sewer line was clogged with roots, with sewer water coming up through our shower drain and seeping from underneath one of the toilets, ugh. We called J&M Rooter and arranged for Jesus to come assess the situation later that day. He got held up at one of his jobs, but he called to let us know he would arrive later than scheduled, and he did arrive at his re-scheduled time. We told him we didn't have an easily-accessible clean out, and he walked around the house to confirm. He gave us 2 options: to access the sewer line by removing and then re-installing a toilet, which would be labor-intensive but could be done by just him, or to access the sewer line via the roof vent, which would require him to call for a second person since one would work on the roof while the other would control the motorized snake from the ground. He gave us quotes for each option, for the toilet method a fixed price and for the roof vent method a fixed price based on hourly rates for 2 and an estimated 1 hour of work; we opted for the roof vent method. His second man (his dad) arrived shortly after Jesus called him; it was starting to get dark and they got right to work. After a while, they learned their 150' snake was not long enough to reach the clogged portion of the sewer line; fortunately they had a 50' cable extension in the truck. They had to pull the snake all the way back out, attach the extension, and try again. With the extension, they reached and successfully cleared the clog. All told, they spent over an hour and a half to clear the line, but Jesus honored his original quote and still took the time to pick up the small amount of roots/debris the snake had pulled out; Jesus even got his flashlight out to check the area and made sure it was as clean as it was originally. They did a great job, and both Jesus and his dad were personable and polite. read more

Jesus answered my call on Saturday morning during the rain storm on new years eve. He was working a call and asked me to text my address to him and he there in two hours. Resolved the issue with the drains right away. He came back out today and snaked the surface drains as a preventive measure before the next storm comes in. Great response service at and affordable price. Thanks to J&M for helping us out in a bind and for the fantastic work provided. read more

Recently bought a house, which had home warranty. Experienced some plumbing/draining issues. Plumber sent by warranty company said it was broken pipe to sewer, could be be $11K. Read some great reviews about Jesus from J&M CC Rooter and called them up. Jesus showed up, on time, checked the pipes, to and fro, did his magic in cleaning out roots, and problem fixed. All this for $350. Recommend ten stars. ********** Cathy in Lafayette read more

Got Jesus's name from a family friend. We had a clogged main sewer line. We have a tree that over the years had the roots grow into the pipe. We had fixed it years ago and knew what the problem was. Called Jesus and he showed up early. Cleared the line, and confirmed he chewed up the roots and our line was clean. Confirmed we don't need to replace the main sewage but treat from roots yearly. Great value and service! Highly recommend! read more

We were living with a clogged bathtub on and off for about two years and drano was no longer cutting it. And then our bathroom sink started clogging as well. I called Jesus at 9:00am. He came an hour later. He was able to unclog both my sink and bathtub. We have lived in this house for 7 years and we were not sure if the pipes have ever been cleaned. If it wasn't cleaned before, Jesus made sure it was. Thank you Jesus for coming on the same day and for making sure everything was working before you left. I will definitely recommend you if ever a plumber is needed. read more

We discovered a leak in our main water line between the meter and the house. Jesus and crew came out the next morning and within 3 hours had done a bang up job of replacing a section of pipe. He took photos and got the job done right the first time. Thanks Jesus. read more

Great service and reliable. I highly recommend them they are professional. Good rates.

J&M helped me turn a pretty bad situation around in less than 24 hours, I managed to crack my shower valve inside the wall and was not able to turn the water back on to my condo. This all happened about 7pm and Jesus answered right away, came by to check out the issue within an hour. Very friendly, honest and up front. It was not a fix that would be able to happen that night but came back the next day and the whole job (cutting open a wall, cutting out broken valve and corroded piping and rebuilding the shower setup) only took about 3-1/2 hours. Pricing was very reasonable given the amount of work and rushed time frame I asked them to work in. My shower does not have a separate shut off valve so the whole condo had zero water until the work was completed. They were super friendly, very polite, quick and left a very clean workspace. I would definitely recommend Jesus for any work and will be calling him again the next time I have an issue. read more

Have used Jesus previously so felt comfortable calling him for 4 relatively simple items... 1. snake an outside irrigation drain line 2. install new kitchen faucet replacing old one with same type unit (almost exactly the same) 3. install new ball valve shut off on outside for irrigation line 4. replace irrigation controller in backyard. Results - 1. finished, no issue 2. Installed with a fair amount of difficulty and reversed hot vs cold water lines 3. after much difficulty installed the valve but had a serious leak - after engaging another plumber we found that he was trying to force fit and glue pvc with an electrical fitting not used for irrigation (incompatible for gluing) ...also left a pvc to pvc fitting leaking. Now I know what he was so quick to want to recover it with dirt and did not test it prior to leaving 4. Did not even try to replace it and no follow up to complete #4. .... charges were very high and the check I gave him was cashed immediately the same day (probably knowing I would stop payment). Avoid. read more

Our sewer line was clogged with roots and all the big name plumbing companies could not come for a week. I texted Jesus and he was here within a couple of hours. He was masked, friendly, and efficient. Worth every penny. read more

Amazing service! It's clear that they value integrity and quality at a fair price. They came out same-day to inspect a leaky water main and had the entire thing replaced with premium materials by the next day, all at under half the price of any other estimates I received. Would definitely recommend! read more

I can't say enough about the job J&M did with our drainage problem. I asked them to rooter out the drains as we had standing water on our pool deck, and after no success they had a camera investigate and then suggested a course of action. This involved digging .. LOTS of digging through our nasty clay soil to replace a 25' section of pipe. The crew worked HARD and never complained .. just got it done. They worked hard and fast over a few days to beat one of the big storms we had. I would not hesitate to recommend them - they were what you hope for in a vendor .. on time,reliable, hard working, fair and pleasant to work with! With all the subsequent storms we've had the drainage has worked perfectly. read more

Jesus is the man! I had an emergency call because our toilet in our bathroom was backed up. I had roommates that couldn't use the bathroom and couldn't flush the toilet or shower. I tried contacting every plumbing company on yelp but they were not available. Only Jesus with Contra Costa Rooter is the only company that picked up the phone and that actually came right away. This call was at 9:30 pm on a Friday night and he was in my house within, kid you not, 10 minutes. He absolutely could have over charged me because we couldn't find the clean out access but explained clearly the other options. Luckily he helped out and we looked for the clean out access together. While performing the job, he even educated me on how my plumbing system works. Jesus did not over charge me but instead gave me the best value by getting the job done correctly and educating me at the same time. If you guys are looking for a Roto Rooter, trust me and just go with this company instead. read more
