Get matched with top storm drain installation pros in Oakland, CA

"During the summer, we started a sump pump project but didnâ t complete it as we werenâ t satisfied with the quotes we got. Unfortunately â like many recently in the Bay Areaâ our basement flooded this week due to all the intense rainfall and the sump pump installation became a project to urgently complete. We reached out to a few businesses and Robert was the fastest to get back to us. He arrived the next day, devised a solution no previous contractor had suggested, thoroughly explained the process, and had the installation completed with a team of two that day. Robert even modified his initial plan upon our request to because he â wants to make sure weâ re happy with it in the endâ . Robert very much met that goal. Installing a sump pump might not be a project you expect great customer service with but it is what made Facilities Plumbing & Drain business stand out to us. Everyone involved with the installation was nice, professional, and even enthusiastic. We would hire Robert again given the opportunity and highly recommend anyone looking for excellent service to do the same."

"I had a stubborn clogged drain and Beastbay answered the bell! They were on time, quick and friendly. Good experience. I would use them again!"

"Kitchen drain line backup. They cleared it like a champ!"

"Can not imagine a better response, starting with my call for assistance, response time and how the technician, Tad methodically diagnosed the problem. We have an obscure kitchen fixture that required service in Feb 2019. Under warranty the problem was easily diagnosed by me, a problem possibly caused by me and a replacement part sent and installed by Albert Nahman team. Problem: I broke the faucet cartridge. Current Problem: restricted hot water flow in this kitchen sink only. Turns out the new cartridge part is now malfunctioning. I called and Tad arrived taking a step by step approach ruling out possible causes: a clog here or there, build up of sediment, or blockage in the lines or cartridge. The company that sells the product got on the phone with Tad and they collaborated on the problem and the tech person gave Tad one more thing to try. After the collaboration it is agreed, problem persisted and therefore that new cartridge part is now malfunctioning and will be shipped free of charge in two days. Thanks to all, who made this possible and I trust we will have Tad here again soon to finalize this fix. BTW, cost of service was less than expected given going rates for such a call lasting in excess of one hour. Another comment, spending time with Tad during the repair was a pleasure to have him explain, collaborate, listen and just chat. Questions on who to call next time, no question who I will call next time. I have read criticism of costs: In the Berkeley area "How much does it cost to hire a plumber? Some plumbers have a minimum fee for a service call. They might charge anywhere from $175-250 to come out and give you a consultation. Plumbers may give you a general service rate of $128-148 per hour when there are a lot of unknowns about a project and they aren't sure how long it will take. Some charge a flat rate for their plumbing services. For example, you may get charged $175 for a sink or drain cleaning, while toilet installation costs $500." Today costs are upfront, same as charges in Feb, $69 to arrive and assess the problem. Here in excess of one hour for $129 minus $25 coupon, total charge $173. I am ok and I expected these costs. If I was in Philly, where I grew up, I could call an uncle or cousin and get a better rate, a family rate. This is going rate for our area."

"Professional service and reasonable pricing with guarantee. Called Plumbing 1 Builders Inc and they took my project and solved my problem installing a new tankless water heater as well as a bathtub and its piping. Responsible team would recommend ."

"I am very happy with Harry and his work. We wanted route a gas line, hot and cold water, and a drain to our backyard for an outdoor kitchen. Harry was punctual, did the work to estimate, and the quality of his work is second to no one. He was meticulous to the quality of his work and made sure everything was thoroughly tested before he left. His prices are very reasonable as well (compared with online estimates for linear foot of extending plumbing, his price was better than a general contractor’s that did a bid for the job). Not only did Harry do a great job for our project, I asked him to look at a leaking water heater and he fixed it in minutes. I ultimately will need to replace my tankless water heater and will call Harry when I do. I would recommend Harry to all my friends and family. Harry came highly rated on Home Advisor and he did not disappoint."

"I was apprehensive about this project because the entire, crumbling sectional clay sewer line from my 95 year old home needed to be replaced. Bracing for some crazy expensive bids, I obtained four of them. One was actually crazy; of the other three, I chose Fito for their very professional proposal and excellent value. On the day of the job, they pulled up fully equipped and ready to roll, and knocked it out in a day. Added to that, the entire crew, to a person, were so courteous I considered it a bonus. Satisfied? So much so I had them replace all the drain lines under the house the next day, again for an excellent price. Don't get upsold, cross-sold or down-sold; I believe you can trust this company to do your job correctly and honestly."

"These guys were great. Professional, knowledgeable, thorough. Fixed my leaking/broken sprinkler manifold system- really impressive and well thought out approach to fixing our issue and avoiding the problem from coming back anytime soon. Really glad I found them. Did great work- and took pride in the quality of their work. Will definitely hire them for additional projects."
