Hear from Our Customers
You call because something’s broken, leaking, or not working. You want it fixed right the first time without the runaround or inflated prices.
That’s what you get here. We take the time to diagnose the real problem, show you multiple options, and fix it so it stays fixed. No shortcuts, no temporary patches, no coming back next month for the same issue.
When we’re done, your plumbing works like it should. Your water pressure is consistent. Your drains flow freely. Your water heater delivers hot water when you need it. And you’re not wondering when the next problem will pop up.
We’ve been serving El Cerrito homeowners for over two decades because we do the work right. Three generations of experience means we’ve seen every plumbing problem this area throws at us.
You’ll notice the difference immediately. Clean uniforms, shoe covers, organized vehicles, and we actually clean up when we’re done. We’re Better Business Bureau accredited because professionalism matters to us.
El Cerrito’s older homes present unique challenges with aging pipes and outdated systems. We understand these properties inside and out, from the Richmond Annex to the Hillside neighborhoods.
First, we show up when we say we will. We put on shoe covers, assess the situation thoroughly, and explain what’s actually wrong in plain English.
Then we give you options. Not just one overpriced solution, but different approaches based on your budget and timeline. We explain what each option accomplishes and how long it should last.
Once you decide, we get to work. We use quality materials, take the time to do it right, and test everything before we call it complete. When we leave, your job site is cleaner than when we arrived, and your plumbing problem is solved.

We handle the full spectrum of plumbing work in El Cerrito. Emergency repairs when your pipes burst at 2 AM. Routine maintenance to prevent problems before they start. Complete installations for water heaters, sewer lines, and whole-house repipes.
El Cerrito’s mix of older and newer construction means we work on everything from 1940s craftsman homes to modern developments. We stock parts for older fixtures and stay current with new technology and code requirements.
Whether it’s a simple toilet repair, complex drain cleaning, or major sewer replacement, we approach every job the same way: professionally, thoroughly, and with respect for your time and property.
We prioritize emergency calls and typically arrive within 1-2 hours during business hours. For after-hours emergencies like burst pipes or major leaks, we maintain emergency service to prevent water damage to your property.
Our emergency response covers all of El Cerrito, from the flats near San Pablo Avenue to the hills above Moeser Lane. We keep fully stocked trucks so we can often complete emergency repairs on the first visit rather than scheduling a return trip.
Pricing depends on the specific work needed, but we always provide upfront estimates before starting any job. Simple repairs like fixing a running toilet or replacing a faucet typically run $150-300. More complex work like water heater installation or sewer line repair ranges from $800-3000 depending on scope.
We give you multiple options when possible, so you can choose the approach that fits your budget. No surprises, no inflated charges, and no pressure to choose the most expensive option.
Absolutely. Many of El Cerrito’s homes were built in the 1940s-1960s, and we work on these properties regularly. We understand the unique challenges of older plumbing systems, from galvanized pipes to outdated fixtures.
We stock parts for older systems and know which original components can be repaired versus what needs replacement. Our experience with El Cerrito’s housing stock means we can often suggest solutions that work with your home’s existing infrastructure rather than requiring complete overhauls.
Complete water heater installation includes removing your old unit, installing the new heater with proper connections, updating any code compliance issues, and testing the entire system. We also handle all permits required by El Cerrito’s building department.
We explain the differences between tank and tankless options, help you size the unit correctly for your household, and ensure proper venting and safety features. Installation typically takes 3-4 hours, and we clean up all debris and old equipment.
We start with camera inspection to see exactly what’s happening inside your sewer line. This shows us blockages, root intrusion, or pipe damage without guessing. Many El Cerrito properties have mature trees whose roots infiltrate older sewer lines.
Depending on what we find, solutions range from hydro-jetting to clear roots and debris, to partial pipe replacement, to complete sewer line replacement. We coordinate with the city for any street work and handle all permits and inspections.
Yes, we offer scheduled maintenance that catches problems before they become emergencies. This includes drain cleaning, water heater flushing, pipe inspections, and checking fixtures for early signs of wear.
Regular maintenance is especially valuable in El Cerrito because of the area’s hard water and older infrastructure. We can set up annual or bi-annual service visits that keep your plumbing running smoothly and help you avoid costly emergency repairs.
