"Robert was an amazing plumber to work with. Extremely professional, knowledgeable, responsive and honest. All traits that are hard to come by in this profession. Ever since I found his business, Iâ ve never even bothered to look elsewhere. He never tries to upsell you, gives you options and always cleans up meticulously. Iâ ve recommended him to all my friends and family and they were all happy with his services. So far heâ s fixed my clogged sink, installed and repaired my garbage disposal, came immediately when my storm drain busted, and gave me quotes and advice on a tankless water heater. Hopefully I wonâ t need his services any time soon though!"

Customers say: Quality work

"On Saturday, at about 4:00 in the afternoon, the toilet and shower in my master bathroom had overflowed so bad that it had seeped into my bedroom. (This had occurred simply after I ran the washing machine and dishwasher at the same time.) Suffice it to say, this caused a panic in me. Thankfully, I was able to ascertain the problem with the help from a friend who used to be a plumber. This helped me to realize that, though inconvenient, the problem at least wasn't some kind of emergency. With that, I immediately began reaching out to any plumbers I could find. The quotes that I was receiving were simply far too high for the job, especially because I know how to snake a clean line myself. In fact, I would have done so myself, were it not for my desire to have a camera down the line. (I had a clog about a year ago, so I was interested in seeing if there were any larger issues.) Of all of the plumbers that I got into contact withâ including one of my friend's plumber friendsâ Precise Plumbing had the best rate. They were willing to do the job at a rate that I could afford. Not only this, Malik, who had come out to do the job, worked with excellence. He was punctual, communicative, and competent. Not only this, he was also very personable. After he finished the job, he showed me the root problem that he picked up in the cameraâ which was actually roots. He explained long term solutions, but was in no ways pushy about it. I immediately put Malik's work to the test by running both the dishwasher and the washing machine again, which had caused the overflow in the beginning. You'll never guess what happened... nothing at allâ the problem was solved. Anyways, I write this review to say that Precise Plumbing is the way to go. I will definitely be telling my friends about them, but I hope the HomeAdvisor community could likewise benefit from such a competent company."

"Plumbing 1 builders was the perfect team to come and help us with our needs. We got a full hardware replacement for our shower. They were quick and on time when it came to the quote process. They offered us the most competitive price in our area, while also being the most professional with the overall process. They didn’t try to upsell us on anything or spook us about our current set up, which did happen with other plumbers who came to give us a quote. They were quick and professional with the work as well. Everything exceeded my expectations in terms of execution. On top of that, they caught a weird error that was done by the builders and went out of their way to find a solution. We will most definitely reach out to them for any plumbing needs going forward!"

"Excellent service! Pablo called immediately after I had submitted my HA inquiry, to see how he could assist with my project. He was able to come to my house same day; and even showed up to the appointment earlier than expected. He did the work efficiently and well, and was very courteous. Great service and for a reasonable price. Will definitely call Cost U Less Plumbing & Drain in the future when I need a professional plumber. Thanks Pablo!"

"Tankless Plumbing did a great job replacing our complicated old compound tankless water heater with a new one. Tony, the owner of the company, worked on the job himself. He brought an engineer's experience to the task. He was reliable, conscientious, and communicative throughout the job. We would hire him again."

Affordable Plumbers questions, answered by experts

Upgrading your plumbing provides immediate protection against earthquakes when you install seismic gas shutoff valves. Fixing leaks and running toilets quickly keeps your household in lower water billing tiers. Over the long term, replacing aging pipes prevents severe structural water damage in Alameda homes. Installing modern, water-efficient fixtures also ensures compliance with state mandates, qualifies you for rebates, and increases your overall property value.

Helpful?

Older homes in Alameda frequently feature outdated galvanized steel or lead pipes. The island's bay fill soil shifts over time, causing underground pipe misalignment and root intrusion. Additionally, the high water table complicates below-grade plumbing. Because this area sits near a major fault line, you must install seismic shut-off valves and flexible connectors during plumbing upgrades to keep your property safe during earthquakes.

Helpful?

In Alameda, older clay sewer laterals frequently fail due to shifting soil and root intrusion. Original galvanized steel supply lines and cast iron drain lines corrode heavily over decades, requiring extensive plumbing updates. You should also monitor outdoor fixtures and hose bibs, as the salt-heavy marine air accelerates exterior corrosion. Finally, hard water and coastal air significantly shorten the lifespan of water heaters in this region.

Helpful?

Start by locating and testing your main water shutoff valve. For slow drains, always use a manual drain snake instead of chemical cleaners, which violate CA environmental regulations and damage older pipes. If you notice sewer odors, pour water into unused floor drains to reseal the traps. Never disturb suspected lead pipes during plumbing repairs; state law requires a licensed professional to handle hazardous materials safely.

Helpful?

When scheduling plumbing work in CA, you must choose fixtures that meet state water efficiency mandates. You also decide whether to pull permits yourself or hire a licensed contractor. If your sewer lateral fails inspection, you must choose between trenchless pipe lining or full excavation. Finally, select a water heater configuration that complies with state energy codes and local seismic strapping requirements.
