Let's be honest -- no one wants to call a plumber. It usually means something has already gone very wrong... 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. read more

Star Rooter was excellent to work with. I contacted them via Yelp at 11pm on a Saturday night regarding a p trap in our kitchen that needed replacement and I received a quote and availability within 10 minutes. They were reasonably priced and able to come first thing Sunday morning. I booked an appointment online before going to bed. Josh from Star Rooter texted me when he was on his way in the morning and called me when he arrived with his apprentice. They were both knowledgeable and professional. 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. read more

I want to thank Alex from Star Rooter and Plumbing. Here is the scene. Its mother's Day around 10 a.m. and I get the idea of trying to fix a leaky fixture on my washing machine. I get the old fixture off and realize that I'm overmatched with putting the new fixture in place. The water to the entire house has to remain off until this is fixed. I call Star Rooter and I vwas given a 3 hour window. Alex showed up on the earlier side of 3 hour window and was able replace my old worn out pipe, install the new fixture in less then 30 minutes. He took time to make sure things looked as clean as possible upon completing the job. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a professional plumber. read more

They came out quickly to give us a free estimate. I called 2 other plumbers. One didn't give me a quote. They wanted me to call after I got other quotes!! The other company promised to email me a quote and I never received it. I think Star provided us a fair quote. They replaced all the drain pipes under our house. They completed the work in one day. We are very happy with their work and clean up. read more

Updated: couldn't be happier with Roy and the entire Star Rooter team! Hired them again for a bigger job to replace the main water line, as well as repipe all the water lines as well as drains for the entire house. For such a large job, they knocked everything out in 3 days! The entire team was professional, cleaned up after themselves, and very respectful. Roy was honest and straight forward, easy to work with, gave many updates, and was always quick to respond to all texts and calls. They even took care of the entire City permit process. I knew I was in good hands, when the City inspector came by and already knew Roy, and had no concerns since Star Rooter is well known to do great work all across the City. As far as pricing, I had a number of plumbers come by for get quotes, and Star Rooter's price was very fair and reasonable! Star Rooter absolutely provides great value at an affordable price. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for an honest plumber, no matter how small or big the job is. Thank you again!! read more

It was past 10pm and they responded within 10 minutes with a fair price. Guillermo came out next day morning on time, efficient and was pleasant to work with. Fixed my clogged kitchen sink and I now I have a go to plumber. read more

Josh came out super quick to inspect a sudden kitchen disaster. Fast and friendly service, and I will hire them again 100%. Thank you!

This company was great! They fixed everything they said they would until about 8 PM then had to go to another job! Granted, it took a few hours past the expected time to complete, and I was cleaning dirt/dust the next couple days otherwise it would have been 5 stars. Just cover ALL your stuff even in cabinets cause the dust will get everywhere if drilling! They even came back when we thought we found a leak and took a peak in the attic which they did not have to do. That's why I decided to post a good review. Thanks for fixing all the pipes behind sink, shower, and underneath leaking into garage!! read more

We called this company as they had done a sewer line replacement for our neighbors. We were in need of replacing ours from the existing clean out to the city main. They scheduled the bid and provided us a price quickly and below all other bids we received. Once approved they quickly got to work on permits and did our replacement yesterday. They did a great job and we're still amazed all of this is accomplished in one day. When done, the area around the work looks great and left no mess behind. Thanks for the great job. We absolutely recommend using Star Rooter and Plumbing. read more

Josh and crew installed a gas line to an existing fireplace. They were efficient and worked with the inspectors to have everything up to code. When they left you wouldn't have known they did any work, it was all smoothed over. Highly recommend. read more

I called Fred and asked if I can have someone come over asap, next I see that Josh is at my house ready to go within 30 min of contacting Fred, thank you guys for being so efficient and for fixing my terrible clogged up kitchen sink, you guys are local and will be my go to plumbers, thank you sooo much read more

I can't say enough GREAT things about this company! Estimate was way lower than another plumbing company. Replaced all new plumbing and copper under the house, all the way to the meter. Team of guys worked so hard, got the job done in less than two days. Cleaned up after themselves. Polite, answered questions, etc HIGHLY RECOMMEND STAR ROOTER AND PLUMBING read more

We had Alex from Star Rooter & Plumbing come out and give us a free estimate. He and his team are the ONLY ones that had someone go all the way into the crawlspace and inspect the drain and pipes completely. And that was the FREE estimate. (We've had a few other companies out and most didn't even peek into the crawlspace.) He also offered to send a camera down our clay pipe for free to assess any damage from our house all the way to the street. The inspection for our estimate was very thorough and included all of the issues I brought to his attention. Alex was patient and listened as I described the issues in my laymen's terms. And was able to educate and suggest respectfully and in a way I understood. He gave us wonderful advice for our older home, wasn't pushy about his plan but truly listened to our needs and hopes. The estimate was reasonable and fully encompassed our multifaceted project. He and the team helped reroute our dishwasher shut off valve, and was very careful with our cabinets and placed it with minimal upset to the cabinet's function. The team replaced the entire cast iron drain from the kitchen to the bathrooms with new ABS pipe. And the team was able to adjust and fix the "stack" in the garage that fed and drained the washing machine and garage sink. They were kind enough to help me install a new sink and faucet so my garage set up is much more functional and looks amazing! I highly recommend Star Rooter and Plumbing. And am so grateful for their expertise and attention to my home. Alex- you and your team have helped us immensely. Thank you! read more

I used Star Rooter for a re-pipe and tankless water heater after my neighbor referred me. They were affordable and communication was good. They did the entire job in one day. Six people came and they finished by 4pm. It was like a plumbing tornado, in a good way. They were neat and tidy as far as cleaning up. The guy who came the next day to repair the wall did an ace job on my plaster. Would recommend this company for this kind of job. read more

If I could give Josh and his team six stars, I would! I noticed pretty late at night that there was a leaky hot water hookup in our new house. I called in the evening and talked to an actual human right away, and Josh came out the next morning. Turns out the pipes were corroded through the service line. They gave us a really reasonable quote to replace (no hard sell, left the decision up to us). Came out that week and replaced the entire line with a two-person crew in a matter of hours. They even lifted up the sod of my lawn to dig the trench and put it back in place afterward, then washed the sidewalks and entryway so it wasn't all muddy for us. It was one of the best home repair experiences I've had. 100% recommend you give this business a call! read more

Updated: Fred Ramos the owner called me with regards to Roy's ridiculous quote for repairs of my sewer in the amount of $22,000. Fred informed me this was not the way his company treats customers. He personally came to my home and assessed what his opinion is causing sewer problems. I appreciate his time and following up making it right. I will consider working with him in the future. read more

Josh came out for an estimate. He was thorough, explained what was wrong & gave me a reasonable quote. Several days later Josh & his crew came back & replaced all the drain lines under the house. All done in one day. read more

They were amazing! I had a clogged washing machine drain. I already tried snaking it twice with no luck. I found Star on Yelp, they responded right away, and came over within 30 minutes on a Saturday night. They unclogged it, tested it, and put my washing machine back in place. They gave me a free estimate, and the total cost was less than what some places were charging just to come out and look at it. I highly recommend them. read more

Josh arrived right on time did our free inspection & diagnostic work to sort out our issue.

We needed our sewer line replaced, and our property management company recommended Star Rooter and we are SO glad he did! Freddy Jr supervised the work and he and his team are simply amazing. The work was done well and in one day. Freddy's communication was clear and he kept me updated on the job progress. Freddy was also very kind to answer all my questions about my job and he even shared why his team did certain things, which clearly showed the company's expertise. His team was super careful with our property, taking care to reset a patch of lawn. One big advantage of Star Rooter is their ongoing and strong relationship with Oro Loma, which is necessary since they rely on permits while the work is being done. Highly recommend Star Rooter & Plumbing...and Freddy Jr! read more

Great job by Alex and his team! He immediately came out same night for emergency flooding. Used the correct tools to identify the problem with the sewer pipe.

I just brought my mother home from the hospital after having a stroke. All of a sudden, the water pipe in the kitchen broke and went everywhere. Star plumbing was the first place I called and they back to me within 20 minutes. Josh let me know be there in an hour and within 20 minutes he was here. After an inspection, he gave me two options, My pipe had broke from corrosion. A few pipes were corroded. He got my water running that day in only a couple hours and then he came back the next day, which was not planned and started the job and came back Wednesday and finished the job. Josh and his team were awesome. I would definitely recommend them. They had to dig up my front yard to replace the copper piping, and I have to say when they were finished you wouldn't even know that my front yard had been dug up. Peggy Arnold read more

Alex and his team at Star Plumbing did an outstanding job removing all the old cast iron piping throughout our entire house and replacing it with ABS. He did an amazing job explaining the situation, what needed to be done, and why. This gave us complete confidence in the process .He was extremely prompt, arriving exactly when he said he would. The work was thorough, professionally executed, and he made sure to completely clean up afterwards. What really stood out was his follow-up--he checked in after the job was done to make sure everything was working perfectly.

They were able to come out same day we called, assess plumbing issue, and make repairs. Really appreciate the service and not needing to reschedule repairs for future date. Thanks! They completed our sewer lateral re-do a few years back perfectly also! read more

Star Rooter & Plumbing did such a great job replacing my sewer lateral. Joe Ramos and his team pulled the permits, got 411 to mark the utilities, replaced my entire super long sewer lateral by trenchless method, got me my sewer lateral compliance certificate, and left my property nice and clean. They work fast! The sewer lateral replacement only took about six hours. Thanks to Joe's strategy, I only needed one hole dug on my property. Joe did a great job communicating how the job was going to go and gave me a great price (I got 5 quotes). I would definitely recommend Star Rooter & Plumbing for all your plumbing needs, especially when dealing with sewer laterals where there is a lot of coordination and paperwork with your local government and agencies. read more

Recently contacted Star Rooter & Plumbing regarding a clogged kitchen drain, not exactly an emergency, but it was the Christmas Holiday and very inconvenient. Alex responded and was quickly here, did an immediate fix and explained what was needed to be done to fully remedy the problem. The day after Christmas, Alex was here with his crew and fully took care of the problem. Alex was extremely professional and knowledgeable. The clogged drain was the result of very old and clogged cast iron pipes. Alex replaced the necessary pipes, traps, etc. and we are back in business. I am completely satisfied with Star Rooter and especially Alex. I would not hesitate in using their services again...and know that with this old house it won't be long before I do!! I also would add that the cost of this repair/replacement was extremely reasonable, as well as their outstanding attentiveness to hauling away old material and clean up. Definitely FIve Stars to Alex and Star Rooter. read more

We had a clog close to the main sewer line at 5pm on a weeknight. We called a few local places but were told no one would be available until the next day which was not going to work since the toilets wouldn't flush and water was backing up through the tub drains. We called Star Rooter & Plumbing and Julio was at our house within 15 minutes. He was professional and thorough - it took some time to find our vent pipe in the dark but he located it on the roof. Our line was clear after about an hour of flushing our sewer line. He showed us a video of our line to the sewer to assess the condition of our 65 year old pipes so we can plan for future upgrades. I highly recommend them and Julio. read more
