  Had a backup and we were ready for it to be a total hassle and expensive but Jose came by same day, checked everything then repaired and sealed one of our toilets. He came early, was very informative and is very good at his job. It was a tiny bit pricey but for the service, we happily paid it. Oakland based so we were glad to give local guys the business.

  I had an appointment at 9:00 a.m. on a Saturday. The first guy arrived at 9:50 and though they were running a drain clog special he didn't have the necessary tool he thought he needed. He handed me off to a second guy that didn't arrive until 11:00 a.m. once he arrived he was able to solve the issue without any special tools in about an hour. I'm happy with the end result it just cost me extra with my time.

  I know it's weird to say you love a plumber, but I love this company. The sewer main backed up to our house. Ugh. A charming young man named Eduardo Navarro arrived the next day, on a holiday weekend, and quickly assessed that we needed some major work done. He was able to return with a camera the next night and give us a very comprehensive review of the problem - roots had grown into the pipes, and he was able to pinpoint exactly where this had occurred in our yard, despite our not having a clean-out pipe. He then offered no less than 3 suggestions, fully explaining them and their associated costs, all the while not being pushy about any of the solutions. He wanted to make sure we fully understood what was going on. Eduardo was so patient with us and explained everything so well as we slowly realized what needed to happen. Because of the situation, he gave us a price break on the snaking, and later even added an extra service gratis because the problem ended up being two different areas of root breakthrough rather than one. He worked all day, partly in the rain, barely taking a break. He showed us the damaged pipe once he reached it so we could fully understand the problem. He also showed us a future problem we will have (roots growing through the pipes, but under the street) that will require a different, more expensive plumber, but he assured us we didn't need that yet. I would hire Eduardo again in a heartbeat. We felt informed, educated, safe, and respected throughout. We felt we got value for our money because we felt he wanted to do his best for us at the best price. I highly recommend Eduardo and Oakland Rooter Plumbing.
