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."

"The free estimate was conducted by phone with Matt.  He answered all of our questions fully, confirming that we did not need to install a larger unit and that all usual pipe and/or valves that needed to be replaced would be included in the quoted price.
The installer, Bobby, showed up within the stated time period, which was only two hours after the initial contact. He got right to work and was efficient, neat, and skilled.  He removed the old unit, took out some unnecessary pipes that were left from an old solar heating unit, and quickly installed the new unit.  He then demonstrated the thermostat operation, which is very different from the previous unit's, tested the operation, and cleaned up the area.
The price was reasonable. The unit has a good warranty (and looks nice ).  The Angie's List discount was applied with no problems.
My husband is a former plumber so he kept an eye on the whole install, and was pleased with the entire experience.

"I called Oak Plumbing to have my garbage disposal repaired. A young man named Andrew showed up at my house and quickly assessed the situation. He was prompt, efficient and professional. He found the problem and resolved it, allowing me to get back to doing dishes. I also appreciate that their service charge is very affordable. I'm very happy with the job that was completed and will be calling Oak Plumbing for all of my future plumbing needs!"

"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!"

From start to finish, the entire experience was seamless and professional. He arrived promptly at the scheduled time, exuding confidence and expertise. Their meticulous attention to detail was evident as they thoroughly assessed the situation and quickly identified the source of the leak. The plumber's skillful execution of the repair was truly commendable, as they worked diligently and efficiently to resolve the issue. Not only did they fix the leak, but they also took the time to explain the root cause of the problem and provided valuable advice to prevent any future mishaps."

Affordable Plumbers questions, answered by experts

Routine plumbing maintenance in Richmond involves flushing your water heater annually to clear mineral scale buildup from hard water. You must schedule periodic camera inspections to check for tree root intrusion in older clay sewer laterals. Inspect your crawl space yearly for moisture damage, and monitor your water pressure for signs of galvanized pipe corrosion. After any CA earthquake, check your water heater strapping and flexible connectors for secure attachments.

Helpful?

Combining plumbing with other upgrades is a smart strategy for older Richmond homes. Opening walls reveals outdated wiring or insulation, making simultaneous electrical updates highly efficient. Grouping trades under a single permit streamlines your inspection schedule. You should also coordinate interior work with required sewer lateral upgrades or CA seismic retrofits. A licensed professional will manage these combined projects to ensure your home remains safe and fully compliant.

Helpful?

Upgrading your plumbing provides immediate water quality improvements by removing old galvanized pipes. Adding flexible connectors to gas and water lines increases earthquake resilience, keeping your property secure during seismic events. Over the long term, installing low-flow fixtures reduces your monthly utility usage under local tiered water rates. Proactive replacements also prevent emergency repairs and protect your Richmond home against potential liability from failing sewer laterals.

Helpful?

Your home’s structure dictates the complexity of your plumbing project. Older Richmond homes with raised foundations feature limited crawl space clearance, making pipe replacement difficult. Post-war slab-on-grade houses require invasive concrete cutting to access embedded drain lines. If your property sits on a hillside or near the bay, unstable soils and sloped lots complicate underground pipe routing. A licensed professional will evaluate these structural barriers before beginning any invasive work.

Helpful?

When planning plumbing projects, homeowners frequently underestimate the time required for permit approvals. Many residents are unaware that specific renovations trigger strict sewer lateral inspection requirements. Older homes contain asbestos pipe insulation or lead solder, demanding rigorous hazardous material handling under CA regulations. You are also entirely responsible for the water service line running from the meter to your Richmond house. Always confirm your specific sanitary district before starting work.
