I've been using Plumbing Guys for 6-7 years now. That should say enough. Yah yah runs a reliable business. PlumbingGuys aren't the cheapest, or the most expensive. In my experience they are one of the most reliable and responsive plumbers in the Oakland Berkeley area. They allow me to manage rentals by phone, confidently. Their responsiveness makes me look responsive to my tenant's needs and ultimately retains tenants and maintains my tenant's satisfaction. read more

They came out and helped me in an emergency on a Saturday night! Can't thank these guys enough!! From the initial phone call to the very end of the service everything was as wonderful experience! They unclogged our main sewer lie and gave us a great price given the situation. Will definitely keep them in my contacts! read more

We had a clogged shower drain that did not respond to a full bottle of Drano Max Gel overnight. They had a team out within an hour of my call (online chat request did not go anywhere). Anyway, they made quick work of the clog. We were given a quote over the phone and they stuck to it. About one third of the price of the last guys we used. Great service! Saved my busy day!! read more

Plumbing Guys came to do a free estimate for sewer lateral replacement. Two people came and did a thorough inspection and explained to me that we did not have a pre-existing street cleanout. Their quote $11k was higher than another one $9k so I went with the lower quote. I had a 3rd quote for $7k but they were inaccurate about the location of the sewer lateral and whether I had a street cleanout. The company I selected did a good job and put in a 3rd cleanout where our sewer lateral turns at an elbow joint. The Plumbing Guys did not identify this problem and additional work. read more

Very quick to respond, fair pricing, and phenomenal customer service! I will definitely save and call this family owned business anytime I need quick friendly plumbing services. read more

Thanks a lot yahya jan ,the service was Professional and fast thanks for installing the grease trap ,appreciate it

I had a bad problem with my toilets not flushing well. Plumbing guys came in and installed new toilets. The plumbers were very friendly, clean and professional. This is my second time using their services. These guys are great! I will never need another plumber. I highly recommend this company because it's not easy to find good plumbers. I have had a lot of bad experiences in the past not only with unqualified handymen but also with big companies that were fully licensed but did a bad job, made a big mess and were really rude. So I suggest, look no further and stick with The Plumbing Guys! read more

They were able to come out that's same day and give me an estimate to replace the unite with a very good price. They where super clean and professional. read more

Plumbing Guys - A water heater that have replace before they cleaned up - Plumbing Near Me - Oakland, California

I had an emergency plumbing situation and needed a plumber to come out the same day to unclog the toilet. I called the Plumbing Guys and spoke with the owner Wali, and he was able to get a plumber out on short notice. The process was pretty simple and he instructed me to text the address to another phone number (I guess the number that's listed on Yelp isn't their main number). I did as instructed, and Wali called back and told me that John would be on his way shortly. John arrived within 2 hours of my call and fixed the issue within 30 minutes. The toilet needed a new ball and chain replacement, and John came equipped with the materials needed. The pricing was fair for the job that was done, and John was quick and thorough. These guys were extremely professional and quick. I'm so grateful that they were able to fix the toilet on such short notice. Excellent service! Thanks Plumbing Guys! read more

We called The Plumbing Guys on Friday to look at our sump pump when our basement started flooding. They came out quickly and claimed to have repaired the issue (according to them, the connection to the sewer was disconnected) and then left quickly after being paid. But they didn't bother to check the outflow and the pump continued not to work after their "repair" so the basement continued to flood. We started calling them to come back right away but they didn't answer or come back for three days. We couldn't get any other plumbers or a new sump pump to come out over the holiday weekend so our basement flooded for three days. By the time they came back our hot water heater had flooded and broken and the basement was under three inches of water. We spoke to the owner of The Plumbing Guys just now and he said it's our own fault for believing their technician when they said the sump pump was fixed, and they will do nothing to help us. Eventually he offered us a slight discount on further plumbing services but I would never trust this company with my plumbing again. We've had several other plumbers out now who all agree that the pump is and was broken all along and needs to be replaced. Even the technician from The Plumbing Guys who originally said the pump was working fine now says it is "super old" and needs to be replaced. If the technician - literally the same guy! - had said so the first time he came out on Friday, we could have saved over $15k in damages to our house. I have no idea how we will pay for all this. The Plumbing Guys have flooded our house and are defiantly unapologetic and refusing to help fix it. Do not trust them with your home under any circumstances. read more

Ive used this plumbing company several times over the years, and they always provide excellent service. Their plumbers are knowledgeable and skilled, and they always go above and beyond to make sure the job is done right. I appreciate their attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction. I never need a second opinion or quote because they have ALWAYS been honest and fair in respect to the work they do. Something that is extremely rare in the industry today. I'll continue to use them for both my home and my business plumbing needs. read more

Shower clogged. Requested service in yelp last night. Was contacted right away. Someone came this morning and fixed it quickly. Super easy. Will call again if I need a plumber quickly! read more

We had a 29yo water heater finally leak and needed a replacement fast. Checked around Yelp for some water heater installers and got several quotes. With their Yelp 10% discount, Plumbing Guys' price was as much as $400 lower than one of the bids and a good $150 lower than most. They came out the same day, installed the new unit, and hauled away the old one. read more

Quality work! We had a sump pump issue that turned into a hard to solve problem. No worries though because these folks trouble shot and resolved the issu read more

The work was excellent. The problem was the price quoted on the phone nearly doubled when the workers arrived at the job site. For that reason I lost trust in their company and will never call them again. That's a bad business model for any company trying to succeed in this competitive enviorment read more

Manuel did a fantastic job in recaulking my shower & bath tub. I also had him replace my sink faucet and fix leak. Super prompt response and schedule. Very friendly and professional. Highly recommend. read more

Called these guys for a new disposal and some toilet maintenance this morning. They were at my house in 90 minutes, and everything was fixed in an hour. 5 stars for lickity split service! read more

The Plumbing Guys we're great in fixing our main sewage line issue that was creating big problems. Manuel came over quickly and on time to diagnose the issue and helped suggest options on how to fix it, none of which were easy jobs. Once we made a decision to reroute the pipes leading from the house and make a new connection to the main line, Manuel and team were right on it and went to work. They impressed me with how swiftly they got the big job done in short time (one day!). Manuel even came back the next day to check in on the job a day later, which was unexpected but fantastic customer service as well. Five stars in my book. read more

John had to pull out the big snake for our clogged sink, but he was fast, persistent and professional. Called at 8am, he was out by 10:30, done by noon. 10 out of 10, will call again. read more

I picked this company based on the good reviews on Yelp. I had a very negative experience. They took advantage of the fact that I needed the work done quickly to give me a price that was easily three times what it should have been. Then they did a crap job. I later found out they were operating under a suspended license. When I emailed them to let them know, I never heard from them again. Tells you everything you need to know. read more

I originally needed a quote for a ADU and I tried calling multiple companies to get one but non of them bothered to answer or return my calls..The office here answered right away, got my plans and gave me an eta for the quote. Was pleasantly surprised when it was emailed the afternoon before anticipated. After looking over the quote everything seemed fair and they definitely got the job. As expected at that point from start to finish the project was done with care and professionalism. Now I'm glad none of those other companies answered.! Thanks Plumbing Guys! read more

I came home to find my kitchen leaking water from an unknown source. The water from my kitchen drained to my bathroom, down to my bedroom, and into the garage. The first plumbers I hired misdiagnosed the problem in a rush, and my floors continued to sustain damage from leaking water from an unknown source. I eventually hired new plumbers, the Plumbing Guys and they cut open my bedroom ceiling and immediately found the culprit, leaking copper pipes. Manuel didn't rush, and made sure that there were no other sources of leaking water. The first plumbers made my leak sound like no big deal (even though my house was flooded and my ceiling, bed, and personal property were all destroyed). Manuel + Yaya at the Plumbing Guys were patient and compassionate and also helped me navigate the insurance industrial complex. I will only use the Plumbing Guys from now on! read more

This company is unreliable. Initially, they responded right away but it was left up to me to obtain the parts to repair the hot water heater. They promised to return when the parts were delivered but there wasn't any response after several phone calls. Hiring this company is a very bad idea. read more

The guys were top notch, from the first call to install, did the job at a reasonable price, my only complaint was they took a tad longer than expected but hey, such is construction. read more

tl;dr: don't trust them when they tell you it's fixed. I had a small amount of flooding in my basement the day before the New Year's Eve storm, and after rescuing furniture and frantically bailing out the basement, I guessed that probably our sump pump was the problem. We called Plumbing Guys. Their tech came out, looked at the sump, and said that the pump wasn't actually connected to anything (yikes!). He connected it, I asked if it was working now, he said yes, he told me the pump was good, and rushed off. I understood his desire to get to his next job ASAP, since it was without a doubt the busiest night for plumbers in a long time. The next morning we woke up to find about 3 inches of water covering our basement, high enough to destroy the brand new hot water heater we had installed back in September. So we had to get someone in to replace that / dispose of the broken one, and we had to rip out all of the flooring that we had just installed, and then hire some very expensive water damage remediation folks to help us strip the drywall, set up blowers, test for mold, and so forth. While we were bailing out the basement and ripping out the floor, I called a bunch of other plumbers. Two ended up coming by that day, and both of them (plus the hot water heater guy, who also took a look) said that the sump pump was very old, filled with dirt, and obviously not able to pump anything like the amount of water required to keep the flood at bay. If we had known this beforehand -- if Plumbing Guys hadn't assured us that the pump was good -- we could have lowered a utility pump down the sump and drained the house manually every hour or so until the storm passed. But we trusted Plumbing Guys. While I was calling around to get plumbers in to fix the pump, I also called Plumbing Guys to ask why their tech hadn't found the problem. They didn't get back to me for over a day, but when they did they sent out a guy (I think the same guy?) who went down, actually pulled up the sump pump, and (just like the other plumbers) said that the pump was very old, in bad condition, and needed to be replaced immediately. When I called Plumbing Guys (I think I was speaking with the owner?) about what his guy had said, he said that the pump wasn't old the first day we called, but had aged dramatically over the course of the intervening 36 hours. He had no coherent explanation for how this might have happened, but was very insistent that anyone who had told me we needed to replace the pump was a liar trying to scam me and that he was "the only honest plumber left in the industry." He spent a long while sending me paragraphs-long texts on this theme. I thought this was a very odd use of his time on such a busy night, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I asked him what he was going to do to fix the situation, and he said that he'd give us a 20% discount on installing a new pump. I told him that this was absolutely unacceptable, and said that he should be covering at the very least a large portion of the cost of the damage his company's slapdash work had caused. He didn't offer anything else until after we posted a yelp review. A couple of minutes after it went up, he texted something about how "your wife wrote a novel on yelp but that's okay" and texted me a picture of ripped-up scraps of the 250 dollar check I had written him for the initial visit -- i.e. the one where, as far as I can tell, they never looked closely at the pump. I told him that the cost of the initial visit wasn't the problem, and said again that making this right would require at least in part compensating us for the damage caused by his slapdash work. He said that if he had a pump available, he'd install it for us "at a massive, massive discount," but that unfortunately he had no pumps left. Obviously at this point I wasn't that interested in having his people work on the house, but I told him that if he was seriously making an offer to install it for almost nothing, we have a brand new, just-ordered pump he could use. And that's when he ghosted me. Fortunately, we were able to get a good plumber in before the next big storm hit. He installed our new pump and verified that the drainage was working properly. Our new pump got us through last night's storm like a champ, with no new flooding whatsoever. If on the first night we had called that plumber instead of Plumbing Guys, we wouldn't be scrambling right now to find a way to pay 10k or more for remediation. Stay safe out there, folks! read more

Great service! Saved my whole house and has been running better since. Highly recommend plumbing guys they're the most professional plumbing service I know. read more

Our toilet was clogged so i called this company and they came right away! No longer than 30 minutes they were here. They had a worker named Sergio help with my toilet. It took no longer than 2 hours to do everything! They have very good customer service and really fast. The pricing overall was good. No complications at all 10/10 would recommend. If you ever need help with a plumbing issue this is the company to call! Especially Sergio, really good at his job! read more

Soooo my daughter flushed 6-7 face wipes down the toilet. Under 2hrs of labor, no parts needed, and a bill for 800 dollars. No receipt, no clean up (the toilet was not backed up the shower and bathtub were just holding water). The wipes were not disgusting(wiped her face with them) but the plumbers demanded a bag to put them in, and I gave him a zip lock bag. His expression looked like he was knee deep in a sewer. There was a weird menacing vibe from the plumbers so I decided to just write a check and let the owner know about the fleecing after they left. Never heard back from him. I am sorry to write this review- it's my first ever with Yelp- and I spent $5k with these guys to replace a water main earlier this year. The price seemed fair enough then, and the plumbers were nice guys. I think the owner subs the work out because the experience this time was appalling and the price was highway robbery. I never heard back from the owner but hope this feedback helps him correct the course of his business. read more

Needed a plumber on Sunday to fix leak from sink. Chose Plumbing Guys because they offered a free estimate and worked on SUNDAYS. Work was well done within an hour. No free estimate...but a $350 bill...no new parts. ]This done to an elderly couple. (As I looked at other reviews, I now see that the negative ones are about not giving the estimates they offer, but charging high prices instead.) When I emailed the company on their site, I received no response of any kind. Perhaps someone at the company reads YELP! And will respond. read more

Plumbing Guys immediately responded, book an appt for the estimate then booked the return job. Price was fair. Appt for the job was a bit "off" but this is amidst pandemic and terrible air quality so that's reasonable... Thanks!!! read more

Called about flooded basement and they showed up just a few hours later. Very knowledgeable and helpful in solving the problem. Will use again and highly recommend. read more

I called Plumbing Guys for a professional evaluation of my plumbing system that was installed 16 years ago but shows signs of serious corrosion at the joints. Meño came out and gave me honest advice not to replace the system since the situation did not warrant the expense. It would have been easy to fool me into a whole new system, but Meño was honest, and I really appreciate his integrity. I would recommend Plumbing Guys highly. Thank you. read more

Wow, called at 11am on a Sunday and Wali responded immediately. He said they could help right away. Christian was prompt and courteous (25 min!), professional and friendly. In just a few minutes he snaked the bathroom sink for a clogged drain. Reasonable price. They do installation too so I'm planning to use them to install some bathroom and kitchen fixtures in the near future. Very happy customer! read more

They were able to accommodate a rather last-minute project and that is very appreciated. Technician came out in the morning to give a quote and returned later that day to put in the gas line. Everything went very smoothly. read more

Great and honest gentlemen. I had written a mediocre review for their services and the next morning I had gotten a reply from Wali, the owner. He quickly responded to fix my situation.

I had a clogged Drain in our clawfoot tub, with the tub full of water. On a Thurs night by 9:30pm, I had called 4 different plumbers with no one available for Friday. Since I work long weekends, I was looking at standing water showers for the next 4-5 days if I couldn't get any one for Friday. My last call was to the Plumbing Guys, not only did someone answer right away, but it was Wally, who was immediately friendly and understanding and let me know they could even come that night!! (Open till 12 midnight). We set a time for midday Friday, since they ran out of time with the job they were on (they informed me as it went along). They called when they were on the way, right when they said they would. Ignacio who showed up was friendly, professional, right away informed me of the possibilities. Within 15 minutes of agreeing to go forward, the clog was free. The rate was as quoted with and extremely reasonable! I am really happy with their services and would refer them without question, and again for future issues! read more
