I had an issue with my on-demand home water heater. I called Val Betti for an inspection. They promptly gave me a date for the technician's visit. My Rheem unit was about 15 years old. It was still working, but the cooling fan was buzzing, and the replacement part was unavailable. Given the unit's age, I decided on a full replacement. The replacement quote was reasonable, and the new unit was sized appropriately. I scheduled the appointment. The installation went without any issues. The technician was professional in his work and communication. I was impressed with the service. I will be using their services for any future plumbing needs. read more

I requested a plumber in July '25 when my newly installed GE washer dryer did not drain properly. The installer said I needed to call a plumber to install a new drain pipe. Ryan miraculously arrived in 15 minutes from Val Betti plumbing. He thoroughly assessed the situation and deemed that the machine was properly installed but my 1" drain pipe was inadequate. I told him that I'd used that drain pipe for three other washer dryers over a period of 40 years and it worked just fine. We tried a small load and everything worked well. He suggested that I call him if it starts to leak because there was no need to put in the 4 inch drain pipe. The clogged hose must've had a little bit of debris in it, which cleared out. Ryan was nice enough to offer not to charge me for the call . I felt he was so competent and so friendly. I asked him to look at my clogged tub. After working on it for an hour, he managed to pull out a 3 foot piece of tree root. I must've had four plumbers work on that tub and no one had ever accomplished that. I'm writing this review because I just called Valbetti for a return visit ! read more

I heard about their complete home inspection when I had them come to inspect my hot water heater. I highly recommend everyone have that done. Mitch was very thorough and explained everything he did and saw in detail and answered all of my questions and concerns with positive suggestions and solutions. I opted to have the recommended repairs done. Ryan is an excellent plumber and came prepared with a plan and everything he needed. Excellent work. Reasonable prices.​ read more

We needed to have a handheld shower and a grab rail installed in a tiled shower. The plumber arrived on time and did a first rate job of installing the fixtures and cleaning up after the work was completed. While he was there, he spent time explaining how our tankless water heater and recirculating system worked. He gave us tips to get the optimum performance. All and all we thought he did an excellent job and gave us some helpful advice. read more

Val and his team are great! I needed a section of my gas line and water line replaced. I got 4 bids, which were all over the place. Val's was very descriptive with photos of what would be done and I felt a fair price. They did the work and arrived when they said they would, were neat and tidy, and very courteous. They also took pictures of the work completed. I highly recommend Val Betti Plumbing. read more

Val Betti Plumbing - New shower handle and showerhead - Plumbing Near Me

The road to this review is kind of long and winding, as some of mine are. My water heater spent several weeks outside in 2007 when the garage/bedroom/bathroom part of our house was jacked up for earthquake retrofitting and was then reinstalled inside, where it remains. in March/April of 2021 we had some issues w/ our water and w/ the water heater. Derek, the Drummer Plumber, who installed our earthquake shutoff valve as well as others in the neighborhood, worked on most of it but when it came to the water heater he called in his sensei, Anam of Green Eagle Plumbing, who took care of the issue. Anam warned me that the water heater could fail soon so I feel as if we have been living on borrowed time. I didn't realize how long it had been until I looked up my Yelp review for Green Eagle. A few weeks ago I read an article in the Chronicle about a family in San Francisco that had cut its energy bill from $4000/year to $2600/year. One of the things the article mentioned was that they had installed a heat pump water heater, which is more Earth friendly, among other attributes. Intrigued, I read up on heat pump water heaters. Then I called Val Betti. Val even had me in his system from when we had worked w/ them more than a decade ago and I knew I could trust their judgement and expertise. Val himself came out to give me the estimate. He came at noon on Wednesday as arranged and I showed him the setup. We discussed the heat pump vs. replacing the water heater w/ a 50 gallon one like it. He was gone by the time Nina came so we could go to dim sum in Pinole and he sent me an estimate for the replacement by a conventional water heater w/ details about what would be done. I wrote him back saying, 'Let's do it!'. The next morning I got a call from him saying they had time and the water heater in stock, was I available? Well, I didn't hear the phone because Thursdays are when the trash/recycling/compost trucks come and I put in earplugs so I won't hear them. By the time I heard the message they had booked another appointment so we scheduled an appointment for this morning at (gasp) 8:00. Last night I moved the car out of the garage and parked it on the street so it would be out of the way. I managed to wake up this morning at 7:44, threw on clothes and was prepared to let the technician in when he arrived exactly at 8:00. The technician was Chan and he was sweet, young, helpful and capable. He explained to me what he was going to be doing and I went back to sleep while he worked. He worked carefully and efficiently and was finished before noon. He was very careful, putting down a drop cloth to walk on even through the garage. Before he left he had me run the water in the bathtub to get the air out of the line. He asked me how I preferred to pay and I decided to write a check rather than use a credit card and that's what I did. When he left he told me to call them if there were any problems and I assured him I would. Val recommended replacing the water heater like for like rather than getting a heat pump because the expense would have been considerably higher. He didn't say it, but my thought is that at my age it's just not worth the extra expense. My experience all around was excellent. read more

We've had Ryan from Val Betti Plumbing out several times over the past couple years for various issues with our shower, sink, and toilet. He's personable, does great work, and is a really good communicator. Listens to your issues and provides clear recommendations and immediate pricing quotes. We love Val Betti Plumbing. read more

John from Val Betti Plumbing was knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. Not only did he replace the angle valve in our bathroom, but he also took the time to check our water pressure and explain why a slightly higher pressure is important for the fire sprinkler system. His insight helped us avoid rushing into installing a pressure regulator at the main line, which we greatly appreciated. We'll definitely consider Val Betti Plumbing for future projects. read more

We needed a PRV and expansion tank to be installed as the city will be hooking us up to a new main at a much higher pressure. Val came quickly to give an estimate. I also got another quote and it was significantly more. Then a few days later Chan came and did an amazing job. I have no regrets. They were all very professional, prompt, cleaned up everything after the job, and did not price gouge. They have also done the majority of the other houses on the street. Everyone is happy as far as I am aware. Thanks guys! read more

In less than 24 hours from letting Val Betti know, got my beautiful new Toto installed and the old broken toilet hauled away. Many thanks to Mitch for his efficient and professional install, and for being courteous and super kind. read more

THEEEE best plumbing service I have ever encountered! Mitch was out at our place on Monday, October 14th and you hardly knew he was there. Mitch was so quiet when he went about replacing our kitchen faucet, unplugging our overflow and switching our washing machine hoses. Mitch was so professional and quick. Thank you, Rick and Janice Tonti read more

I couldn't be happier with the work performed a few days ago by Val Betti Plumbing. I had a leak at the meter, and the first plumber dug down to the pipe where the leaks had been in the past. No leak, and no obvious location for any other leak. They recommended a leak detection company that had special technology, and as soon as the leak detector localized the leak, a Val Betti plumber came again and fixed the leak with a new pipe fitting, and returned the soil to it's normal position with no mess. I verified that the repair was 100% percent successful, with not the slightest leak at the meter. read more

our pipes are old and got clogged. they sent Eduardo out and he unplugged them. there will be follow up. But the SerVice was great and the cost low. I will call them up to finish read more

Excellent service. Initial service appointment fixed the kitchen sink drainage problem; however, the issue of the shower and bath tub came up as well after the plumbers left. Called Val Betti and their plumbers came early morning the following day. They resolve the problem within 30 minutes and I was not charge for extra work. Complete satisfied with the work done. Will highly recommend this company. read more

This is the second time we have used Val Betti Plumbing. Very knowledgeable, professional and willing to help in anyway to be sure the customer is satisfied before finishing the job. The plumber helped us with replacing the hot and cold defective water valves for the clothe dryer. They replaced them in a timely manner and connected the new washer and dryer. We are very happy with their service. We highly recommend them for all of your plumbing needs. read more

Installed a new toilet in no time. Very reasonable price. Arrived on time. Friendly service. All good.

Good call. I would call again in an instant. Did their job that was asked for. Very refreshing.

I had to get a valve under my kitchen sink replaced in my condo and needed someone familiar with the job. Ryan was super efficient! I would use Val Betti again in a heartbeat. Reasonable, responsive and professional! read more

I've called Val Betti many times and always been completely satisfied with the quality of the work and pricing of their services.

Val Betti Plumbing provided exceptional service. We had them install a new kitchen sink faucet, move and install a new garbage disposal, run a new gas line to our new cooktop (coordinated with Mike's Appliances), replace our water heater, replace an existing driveway faucet, and replace/install two bathroom faucets and under sink pipes. Val's prices are reasonable and well below that if other plumbing companies. We highly recommend them. read more

Had an issue with fluctuating water pressure in our house, called Val Betti based on Yelp reviews. They were able to get appt in about a week and were very responsive, even calling to confirm the appt beforehand twice. Plumber was super nice, very professional, quickly able to ascertain and articulate the problem and my options to fix it. Fixed it right on the spot, I even asked on-the-fly if he (they) could check out our water heater, and he said no problem and was able to accommodate. He replaced our pressure valve and even installed a new hose faucet as a courtesy, and also cleaned/flushed our tankless water heater -- all in a single 4 hour visit. I would definitely recommend Val Betti again and they will be my go to plumber from now on! read more

I have used Val Betti for toilet replacement, kitchen sink, faucet, and disposal replacement, and gas piping for a new cooktop. They have solved problems others would not tackle and are always knowledgeable and professional. Prices are reasonable and I highly recommend them. read more

We liked how our job was done, starting with a less expensive faucet cartridge replacement, then with a more expensive replacement of galvanized piping with copper piping. Problem solved! Front office was very communicative and friendly, too. read more

Our kitchen drain was clogged. The day before I called the plummer I took apart the drain pipes and removed thick sluge and snaked to drain. After putting everything back together water still would not go down tge drain. I used a plunger but didn't have the strength to clear the clog (I'm 76) The good part was they came the same day that called. All the plummer did was use our toilet and used my plunger and cleared the clog after plunging about 10 times. Total time roughly 10 minutes The bad part was it cost me $195 with no discount for seniors or veterans. I asked about this and the plummer said instead of charging by time, they charge for a project. I'm happy it is fixed but $195 for 10 minutes of effort is a bit much for retired people on a fixed income. I should have charged $100 for use of my toilet. read more

Val Betti did an amazing job installing a new garbage disposal and redoing the plumbing under my kitchen sink. Home Depot came to my house a couple days later to install a new dishwasher and caused a leak under my sink and refused to fix it. I called Val Betti and they came out the next morning and was able to fix Home Depots mess. These guys are extremely professional, courteous and do great work. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND them for any work you may need and will use them for any plumbing work I have in the future. read more

This place is a life saver. I actually called them last year for an old heater i thought was dead and the guy came in and fixed my heater quickly and the price was too good to be true. I had an urgent matter this time with both my wall heaters and looked for a local company and didn't realize it was the same company until they returned my call and knew my address. Well again AMAZING. I sent an email on a Tuesday and was called that next morning with an open slot within the hour. Again superb i had an old heater spark right up and a replaced thermostat within an hour and again the cost was too good to be true. So good i dare not mention it. :) This will always be my go to company for my heating needs. the cost is great and they are super responsive. Sincerely, a forever customer read more

A couple weeks ago I went to test our water shutoff valve and it didn't work. I used Yelp to solicit for local plumbers to come fix it (replace with a new ball valve). Just have to say, I'm really glad I went with Val Betti. From the start, they quoted a fair price and already had a product code for the specific procedure I needed, with the 5 steps listed out exactly. That really impressed me that they'd created a product catalog in advance instead of having to manually figure out the steps involved. Their guy Ryan came out and did a fantastic job. He explained the theory behind what was going on, and caught that our problem was actually more serious than we had thought. We needed a pressure regulator to avoid damaging our infrastructure since we were already at 125psi! He gave me a no-pressure offer (hah, no pun intended) to take care of the extra things and do the work on the spot without needing to call for a followup visit. The quality of workmanship was excellent. The new shutoff valve juts out prominently from the house so you see it every day when you walk by, and he made sure it looked good. I will definitely going with Val Betti plumbing again! read more

I needed my bathroom faucet replaced after a terrible morning surprise of water all over my bathroom floor. They were able to come out same day, remove and replace the broken faucet, and the plumber was very friendly through the whole process. Couldn't be happier read more

It's not often that I want to rave about a plumber and tell everyone I know about him, but I'm here to say that John Baudoin at Val Betti is worth raving about. I actually took 10 of his business cards to pass out. I had several things not working right with a tub and shower at a condo. It wasn't draining properly and I didn't know why. Turned out it was the trip lever that was not staying in place properly. There were a few other things that were not working well, and he had the parts in his truck for all of them. Everything was fixed and I've already started recommending his to neighbors. He was also very neat, clean, and considerate. Plumbing can get complicated at older condo building, sometimes you need to shut the water off for several floors to get repairs done. You want a plumber you are confident will do thing rights and get the job done. I found one! read more

A plumber from Val Beli installed a toilet, which was slightly tricky because the metal recepticle for the flange was broken on one side. The work was first rate. Would use again. read more

Val Betti Plumbing: A+ Over the last several months, my wife and I have been remodeling our entire house (completely down to the studs). I have been doing all of the work myself except the plumbing and electrical. We worked with Val Betti Plumbing to replumb two bathrooms, a kitchen and laundry room. This is not the first time we have used Val Betti Plumbing. In fact, this is not the first time our family has used Val Betti Plumbing, my son had them help with a remodel his family did a few years back. It's not easy remodeling an entire house, but it's even more challenging amidst the Covid pandemic we're all experiencing. As I mentioned above, my wife and I are retired, so having people in our house is a concern right now for us both. Having worked with Val Betti Plumbing before, we new that professionalism, punctuality and quality is what we'd receive; not just in the final product of work, but also in a detailed explanation along the way, attention to detail and cleanliness of the jobsite. Additionally, Valentino, Mitch and Edgar were diligent in safety precautions. Always wearing their mask and gloves, which made my wife and I feel a lot safer (strange times). If you are in search of a plumbing company that will offer a fair price, top notch quality and ultimately a company that you can trust, you should definitely give Val Betti Plumbing call. read more
