Best Drain Leak in Oakland CA

Monowar Hossain is a remarkably good plumber and a delight to work with. He is very experienced and dedicated to very high quality service. We had a difficult and complex repair problem involving frozen, leaking Kohler bathroom sink faucet valves that defied removal after many years of use. But Monowar did it and also did a beautiful installation of new valves and other sink essential parts. His work and work ethic are A+++. Our sincere appreciation to Monowar and Albert Nahman Plumbing and Heating. Their service was well worth every penny.

Nick arrived within the designated appointment window, understood my project and was able to provide a detailed cost estimate during the visit. He was very professional, personable and efficient.

Sure Shoot Rooter & Plumbing is one of the best business i have ever dealt with. Our hot water heater wasn't producing any hot water. Called Sure Shot and David came out that same day to check it out. Found out our water was a high efficency type and parts were very hard to find. David worked on it for about an hour and half and could not get it to ignite. He had to special order the part. This was on a Friday. He made an appointment to come back to finish the job the following Tuesday. However come Tuesday morning he called and said the part still hadn't arrived and he had to put a rush in for Friday. As i posted above this part was specific to our model of water heater and was hard to locate. David did his best to try to get the part as fast as possible. It did come in that Friday and he installed it that day. It was also a learning experience for him because he never worked on this type of water heater before. He did a lot of research during the time we were waiting for the part so he knew exactly how to fix it once he got the part in. He also did a water heater drain and refill. After all this is was expecting a bill of close to 1K. The total cost was very reasonable (650.00) for the time, effort and work that he did. if we had to replace the water heater it would have been close to 5k because the water heater itself is a special order & the time it would have taken to install it would take a few hours. Next year when we need to have it drained and refilled i will have David to it. I highly recommend Sure Shot Rooter & Plumbing. David is very patient, tries to work problems out and is very knowledgeable. Thank you!!

One Step was able to come the same day. Garvey quickly figured out the source of the leak and had the parts on hand to fix our tub. Friendly and reasonably priced - my new go to for any future plumbing needs.

We just had a great experience with We can do it Plumbing. They fixed a complicated shower valve situation that another plumber said couldn't be fixed by solving the problem creatively. They were respectful, skilled, communicative, and a joy to work with. Highly recommend.

Fast and friendly.

Quick response, professional, completed as estimated

This man is a gem. Yesterday, was my sister’s wedding. I had flown in from the east coast and first thing in the morning, just hours before the wedding, my elderly mother’s toilets were leaking from the seal underneath. I called around to try to find someone to come out right away and Ray was literally the only person who agreed to come right out. He was there right away and was patient with all my questions, asking him to explain what might have happened and what he needed to do to fix it. We thought it was one problem and it was another problem altogether. He was thorough and kind and charged us less than anyone else would have in the area. I cannot give him high enough accolades. He had both toilets pulled and had cleared the blockage…and then resealed both with a fresh wax seal in less than hour. Hire this man. 🙏🏼

They fixed my shower faucet and had an extra handle being as mine would not come off. He was on time very professional and courteous and the faucet works perfect. The price was fine and the person who answered the phone gave me a accurate quote. I will definitely keep using them.

Have used Alligator Plumbing on 2 different occasions, they were great both times. I would not think of using anyone else.

2pm on Wednesday before Thanksgiving... of course my kitchen drain stops up! Called, was told they were fully booked through the weekend. As I was on my 3rd other 'sorry, we are all booked up' call to other shops, the dispatch at JC Green calls back, saying they had cancellation-- they could be at my place in 10 min. Promptly 10min later, Christian shows up with the tools and a smile. Simple roto job done quickly, professionally, (under the sink looks better than it did before!) at a fair price. For their excellent customer service and competence and bailing me out of a big jam, 5 Stars.

Natalie was absolutely fantastic! She showed up quickly and worked super efficiently and even cleaned up all of the mess that was made while clearing the clog from my kitchen sink! I would recommend her before any other plumber in the Oakland area!

Chris arrived 1/2 earlier then the two hour window, that was a plus. After I explained the issue he got right to work and unclogged the kitchen sink drain and it works great! Professional and explained each step to fix the issue.

Thank you,

Reasonable prices; knowledgeable people; they do good work and arrive promptly. They price per project so you don't have to worry about overt time or extra pay surprises. I have used them twice and will use them again.

GREAT plumbers!!

Abe was on time and professional. We needed molding repaired and he did the job well and was very helpful in answering questions. It looks good and he cleaned up the area after the job and left everything great!

This is the crack the plumber dismissed after opening that much ceiling. This picture was taken by the dry wall guy after the repair by Larratt brothers
He found one crack on one end (only dripping ) and did not find this crack on top of the pipe where I pointed out first “ this is where gushing water came down.”
The plumber said he fixed it so I went upstairs and opened the faucet 2-3 seconds and flushed the toilet once , he was downstairs saying “no leak !” Done . He did not fill the bath tub nor run water to test any further leak .I did not know so I had the ceiling closed ($1000) then my daughter took a bath , gushing water came down . I needed to open the ceiling AGAIN.

Office manager dismissed the issue of not throughly inspecting the entire old pipe , no running water test. I originally asked for compensation for the drywall work which I had to do twice , did not go anywhere. He said the work was done right, nothing was wrong . So I disputed the charge of CC. I got a temporary credit then the owner talked to me finally . Unfortunately Aaron claimed the crack was a new leak , not related to the repair the plumber performed . Look at the exposed pipe and the area of the ceiling opened . How can anyone say they are different leak . I provided all pictures of evidence to VISA and finally they awarded me the credit. The owner told me not to ask for any repair and I am on the nasty customers list . I am very disappointed by his statement “opinion” , “definition” , “fact” ,” I got something free???
I fought this incompetent work because I could not sign the false statement on the form of “release of liability “ when he offered $500 with “ good face”. The fact is that the plumber was not professional. The crack did not appear after his repair , pipe is all connected . It is not a new leak.

This is his last e mail

We can continue to disagree but there is one fact that does remain. That is that you have had new piping installed by us for free. That’s indisputable. The rest is your opinion and by definition is not fact.

Good day

I recently hired JH Plumbing as my plumbing contractor, and I am extremely satisfied with their service. Their team was prompt, knowledgeable, and quickly resolved the plumbing issue I was facing. They exhibited professionalism and provided excellent customer service throughout the entire process. I highly recommend JH Plumbing for anyone in need of a reliable and skilled plumbing contractor.
