You need your plumbing working, not excuses about why it can’t be fixed today. When we’re done, your water pressure is back, your drains flow freely, and you’re not wondering when the next leak will spring.
No more cold showers because your water heater decided to quit. No more standing water in your kitchen sink while you wait for someone to call you back. No more wondering if that small leak is about to become a big problem.
We fix it right the first time, so you can get back to your life instead of managing plumbing disasters.
We’ve been fixing plumbing problems in Alameda since 2001. Third-generation plumbers who learned the trade the right way—taking time to diagnose properly, offering you real options, and cleaning up when we’re done.
You’ll know we’re professionals the moment we arrive. Uniforms, shoe covers, clean trucks, and Better Business Bureau accreditation because your home deserves respect.
While bigger companies are buying up local plumbers and cutting corners, we’re still here doing the work the way it should be done. Alameda homeowners know the difference.
First, we show up when we say we will and diagnose the actual problem—not just the obvious symptom. Too many plumbers rush to a quick fix that fails in six months.
Then we explain what’s wrong and give you options. Sometimes the cheap fix makes sense. Sometimes investing a little more saves you thousands later. We’ll tell you the difference.
Finally, we fix it right and clean up the job site. You shouldn’t have to sweep up our mess or wonder if we actually solved the problem. When we leave, your plumbing works and your home is cleaner than when we arrived.

Drain cleaning and repair when your kitchen sink backs up or your shower won’t drain. Water heater repair and replacement when you’re tired of lukewarm showers. Toilet repair for everything from running water to complete replacement.
Alameda’s older homes often need sewer line work and whole-house repiping. We handle both, plus the permits and inspections that come with major plumbing projects in the city.
Emergency plumbing service when pipes burst or water heaters flood your garage. We also do the planned work—installing new fixtures, upgrading old plumbing, and preventive maintenance that keeps small problems from becoming expensive disasters.
Emergency plumbing rates typically start around $150-200 for the service call, with additional charges for parts and labor depending on the repair needed. The final cost depends on what’s actually broken—a simple clog costs less than a burst pipe.
We give you the price before we start work, not after. No surprise bills when the job is done. Most emergency calls in Alameda involve water heater failures, main line blockages, or pipe leaks, and we can usually give you a solid estimate within the first few minutes of diagnosis.
Yes, we provide same-day service for plumbing emergencies and often for non-emergency repairs depending on our schedule. When you call in the morning, we can usually get there the same day.
For true emergencies—burst pipes, major leaks, or complete water heater failures—we prioritize those calls and typically arrive within a few hours. Routine repairs like fixing a dripping faucet or installing a new toilet can usually wait until our next available appointment, but we’ll still try to fit you in same-day if possible.
Most water heater repairs take 1-3 hours depending on the problem. Simple fixes like replacing a heating element or thermostat are usually done in under two hours. More complex repairs involving gas lines or major component replacement can take most of a day.
Water heater replacement typically takes 4-6 hours for a standard installation, longer if we need to upgrade gas lines or electrical connections to meet current Alameda building codes. We’ll tell you upfront how long the job should take and keep you updated if we run into complications.
Alameda’s older homes often have galvanized steel pipes that are rusting from the inside out, causing low water pressure and discolored water. Clay sewer lines are another common issue—tree roots love to grow into them, causing backups and expensive excavation.
Original cast iron drain lines often develop leaks and need replacement. Water heaters in older homes frequently need gas line upgrades to meet current safety codes. Many older houses also have outdated plumbing fixtures that waste water and break down frequently.
We see a lot of DIY repairs gone wrong in older homes too. What looked like a simple fix often reveals bigger problems that need professional attention.
Yes, we handle all permit applications and inspections required by the City of Alameda for major plumbing work. This includes water heater replacements, sewer line repairs, and any work that involves connecting to the main water or sewer lines.
We know Alameda’s plumbing codes and what triggers permit requirements. Most homeowners don’t realize that even replacing a water heater requires a permit and inspection. We take care of the paperwork, schedule the inspections, and make sure everything passes the first time.
Trying to skip permits on major plumbing work can cause problems when you sell your house or file an insurance claim.
If multiple drains are backing up or you’re using drain cleaner every few weeks, you likely need professional drain cleaning or pipe repair. Slow drains that affect the whole house usually mean a main line problem, not just a single clogged drain.
We can run a camera through your drain lines to see exactly what’s causing the blockage. Sometimes it’s just buildup that cleaning can handle. Other times tree roots or broken pipes mean you need repair or replacement.
Signs you need pipe replacement include frequent backups, sewage smells in your yard, or soft spots in your lawn above the sewer line. We’ll show you exactly what we find and explain your options.
