We have been in the construction industry for over 10 years. From building ADUs, high-end kitchen remodels, bathroom remodels and home extensions, we have done just about everything under general construction. Our company prioritizes safety, quality and transparency.

"Me and my wife decided recently to get our kitchen remolded. After some time searching for the right guys to do the job we settled on RG Construction. Richard, who is the owner, is a great guy and super informative. He never left any question unanswered or left us uncertain about anything. His crew works quick, and they pay attention to the tiniest detail. They absolutely are worth every dollar and I would recommend RG Construction to any homeowner, and I for sure will be giving them a call back for any work I need done in the future. Me and my wife are absolutely in love with our remodel."

"They did a number of things. Braced and restrapped water heater and ran copper line for pressure relief to outside. Unclogged master toilet and reseated. Bolted down second toilet. Reconnected clothes dryer vent. Repaired air gap/garbage disposal and drain line under kitchen sink, crawled under house and remove galvanized pipe straps and replaced with nylon pipe clamps. I was a contractor and used to do this work, o an very critical. They did an outstanding job. Went the extra mile several times. I was expecting a bill for a higher amount but they stuck with their estimate. I recommend them highly and would use them again!!"

We are the water heater and sewer experts of Santa Clara County offering free estimates, fair rates, and superior workmanship. Our team has been servicing the Bay Area for over 20 years. Our company is licensed, bonded, and insured. Our specialists are equipped, experienced, and provides a full range of services. We guarantee our work and can beat any quote by 10%.

"I had the water line from the street to my house shut off by the water district the day I was leaving for vacation because of a massive leak. I was ok without the water for the day, but we have pets being watched while we are gone and didn't want to return home to shower after a long flight. To keep it short, Chandler's Plumbing called me within minutes of me sending my Angie's request, 4 hours till they were at my house (I'm already over an hour from them to begin with) and a brand new copper line ran over 75ft within 24-28 hours of me sending that first request. To top it off the price was very reasonable and that's coming from someone who is cheap. They did quote me for the single fix or running the new line, but I had galvanized that was corroding where it wasn't leaking yet. Fixing it 1-2 more times would cost more than new copper pipe. Super satisfied, I'll use them in the future."

Albert Nahman Services was founded in 1981 and has been serving Berkeley, CA and it surrounding areas in all their plumbing and HVAC needs. Each of our technicians went through rigorous training so we can guarantee that you will be receiving the proper service. We are also insured and supply a warranty for our parts for five years and up to twenty years on an re-piping or sewer replacement. Call us now to make your appointment!

"The plumbing technicians came out as promised to assess the leak. They were both very courteous and kind and assessed the damage. I am giving three stars because they estimated the cost to be almost 250% higher than what the actual cost was to fix the issue. I am sure there are customers out there that would just accept any bid however, please get multiple beds for these projects, especially when working with this company as they will inflate the cost to take advantage of the situation. I ended up only paying for the $79 estimate."

"Our potfiller kitchen faucet began to leak at the wall. Great reviews on Yelp and Nextdoor prompted us to contact Plumbtree Plumbing. Their online appointment facility was very easy to use; an appointment was secured for the same afternoon. A very professional, courteous, and personable plumber, Bruce, diagnosed the problem and made an expert repair for a reasonable cost. We were very pleased. Bruce was genuinely concerned about our home's plumbing. Without any sales pressure at all, he and his equally expert associate, Matthew, made an inspection of our water pipes and discovered three issues: 1) the "water shutoff valve" at the base of the house was actually a gas shutoff valve!, and 2) a number of our water pipes were galvanized pipe instead of the desired/required copper pipe. While under the house, Matthew spotted issue # 3) and photographed it: one of our heating ducts had become disconnected, thus pumping hot air into the crawlspace! So, we are having Plumbtree Pumping come back to make a thorough estimate to correct items 1) and 2). (And our HVAC people will fix item 3)!) Please strongly consider using Plumbtree Plumbing for all your plumbing needs!"

"Rarely write reviews, but I had to take the time to recognize the incredible service I received from Green Arrow Plumbing. From start to finish, this was hands-down one of the best service experiences I’ve ever had! I originally called for a relatively simple job replacing a shower head but while they were here, I also mentioned a persistent issue with my main house drain being clogged. Without hesitation, they jumped into action and took care of both problems quickly, efficiently, and with zero mess left behind. They were punctual, professional, and friendly . They explained everything in simple terms, gave a fair and honest quote, and stuck to it. No upselling, no surprises just quality work done right the first time. If you need a reliable, honest, and highly skilled plumber I highly recommend Cornelio. I’ll definitely be calling them again for any future needs. Thank you for making what could have been a stressful situation completely stress free!"

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Snaking a drain can take as little as a few minutes for small, simple clogs, up to two hours or more for tough clogs located further down the drain line. For tougher clogs, a professional drain cleaner can likely get the job done much more quickly because they have the necessary tools and expertise. However, your drain cleaning pro might not be able to give you a firm time estimate until inspecting the clog and its surrounding plumbing.

First, find the cleanout pipe in your yard. Unscrew the cap—you may need a wrench to do so. Then, get a drain snake. You can use a non-motorized one, but a motorized snake will make the job a little easier. Feed the snake through the pipe until it reaches the clog. Spin the snake continuously, but don’t try to feed it through the pipe anymore. Keep spinning until you feel it break the clog apart.

Cat pee has a strong ammonia-like smell, so if you smell cat pee but don’t have a cat or don’t suspect your cat has any accidents, there could be other issues at hand. Aside from pet urine, your house may smell like cat pee from leaking freon from an old fridge, mold, spilled cleaning supplies, or even outside odors from nearby farms.

An active cleaning agent and a drain snake is the best way to clean a main sewer line. You can purchase a regular or enzyme drain cleaner or make a DIY drain cleaner with baking soda. Use your chosen solution at least once a month or as needed to keep your sewer line clear. 

No, you typically cannot use metal detectors to find your sewer line. Most sewer lines are made of non-metallic materials such as PVC, clay, or cast iron, which are not detectable by standard metal detectors. Metal detectors are designed to locate metallic objects, so they won't be effective for identifying the path of a non-metallic sewer line. To locate your sewer line accurately, it's best to use other methods.
