Plumbing reviews in Hayward, California

We needed new pipes from inside our bedroom to out in the street (a lot if work!) but they got it done in 1 full work day! They were very polite, efficient, and unobtrusive even though there were a lot of moving parts. Josh was our point of contact and was very communicative in all that was going on and easy to talk to. They have actually been our plumber for years and we definitely would recommend them as an honest, fair and reliable company!

We had a great experience with Star Rooter! He took very good care of my parents bathrooms who are located in Castro Valley. Freddy and crew, were knowledgeable, great to work with and super polite. Prices were competitive and they took the old materials. Thank you!!!!!

We appreciated how quickly the plumbers were able to come to our home and ascertain the best course of action they should take. They were able to resolve the issue of the stoppage in the drain line which had been incapacitated. They were courteous as they worked to restore the use of the main bathroom and the kitchen sink.

Josh from Star Rooter & Plumbing came and fixed a leak in my shower plumbing. He was super knowledgeable and efficient with the work. Would definitely use this company again.

Lateral repair for a new purchased property in Berkeley. Fred, the owner, Joshua, the manager, are very responsive and trustworthy. The job completed as scheduled, professional and fast. Will recommend to anyone!

Josh and his team are STARS!!!
I had an outstanding experience with Star Rooter and Plumbing. They arrived right on time, quickly diagnosed the problem, and explained everything clearly before starting the work. The repair was done efficiently and neatly — they even cleaned up afterward, leaving everything better than they found it.
What really stood out was their professionalism, attention to detail, and fair pricing. It’s rare to find someone this reliable and courteous these days. I’ll definitely be calling them again for any future plumbing needs and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality, trustworthy service.

I needed to repair my MIL's toilet flange and a piece of a pipe that was rusted for a new ADA toilet I bought her. I had gotten an estimate from another plumbing company for about $4k. That seemed high to me, and she is on a fixed income, so I wanted another quote.
I called Julio at Star Rooter and he was able to give me a ballpark estimate of the repair after seeing some pictures I had of the issue. His cost was almost 1/3 of the previous estimate!! So, of course, I scheduled for Julio to come as soon as he could, which was the very next day. He looked at the issue, confirmed the price he had given me, and the project was completed in about 2 hours!
After almost being "taken to the cleaners" to finding Julio, I am counting my blessings! My MIL has her new toilet and is very happy. I highly recommend Julio, at Star Rooter for your plumbing needs. See below for the before and after pictures!

Josh came out the same day we called and gave us a thorough inspection. He was very honest and quoted a very fair price. Next day they showed up punctual and did a professional job. Thank you Star!

Josh and Star Rooter provided a great estimate for a complete sewer lateral replacement, combining both trenched and trenchless, per the city's permit requirements. The Star Rooter team did a great job, all in one day, and cleaned up well. Josh was great to work with through the whole process and was onsite during the work to ensure everything ran smoothly. I thoroughly recommend Star Rooter & Plumbing.

Both my neighbor and I live in a 2 unit duplex cottage built in 1924. The pipes were super old galvanized steel pipes and water pressure was horrible due to the many decades of built up sediment. Josh and his team came and replaced ALL the pipes with copper pipes, all the way to the street water line. Water pressure has significantly improved. Josh is great and a has an amazing crew. Josh checked in a day or so later just to make sure everything was working properly. He will keep you posted on progress or any issues that pop up. Very professional and thorough. I highly recommend.

Fred and his team did an amazing job replacing our Private Sewer Lateral (PSL) in Oakland. We got quotes from several competing companies including Pipe Spy and LS Construction, Star Rooter's was the fastest and most affordable and they had the best communication. Fred gracefully handled the process from start to finish and made sure our sewer line remained usable the entire time except the handful of hours on the day-of when they ripped the old line out.

They estimated 2 days but managed to do the entire interior and exterior job in 1 day despite having to block off a busy street and dig over 8 feet down. They even got the final inspection with the city completed ahead of schedule too. The concrete job they did was also fantastic, both inside the garage and in the driveway: perfectly level and screeded properly to match the surrounding slope. We'll be sure to hire them for all our plumbing needs in the future!

I recently had my entire house repiped by Josh and his team at Star Rooter and Plumbing, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, Josh and his crew were respectful, punctual, and extremely professional. They worked quickly without cutting corners, and the quality of their work really shows.

What stood out most was their attention to detail—not only did they get the job done right, but they also made sure the work area was cleaned up thoroughly. It’s rare to find a team that combines skill, efficiency, and care for the customer like they do.

I highly recommend Josh and Star Rooter and Plumbing to anyone looking for reliable, top-quality plumbing work. True professionals.

Josh and his team are exceptional plumbers. They completed two major projects for us on our newly purchased home: installing a sewer lateral and running a new water and sewage line to our garage. Both jobs were substantial in scope, yet Josh and his team were able to complete each in a single day. From the initial estimate through installation and final cleanup, Josh and his team were consistently communicative, friendly, and professional. They took the time to explain the scope of work and how exactly they were going to complete it. The final products (new sewer later, new water lines, new sewage lines) work perfectly with no issues. The pricing was very affordable for the amount of work completed. We are extremely pleased with the results and will absolutely be repeat customers. Josh is an excellent plumber, and we highly recommend him and his team to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality plumbing work.

We had Alex from Star Rooter & Plumbing come out and give us a free estimate. He and his team are the ONLY ones that had someone go all the way into the crawlspace and inspect the drain and pipes completely. And that was the FREE estimate. (We’ve had a few other companies out and most didn’t even peek into the crawlspace.) He also offered to send a camera down our clay pipe for free to assess any damage from our house all the way to the street.
The inspection for our estimate was very thorough and included all of the issues I brought to his attention. Alex was patient and listened as I described the issues in my laymen’s terms. And was able to educate and suggest respectfully and in a way I understood.
He gave us wonderful advice for our older home, wasn’t pushy about his plan but truly listened to our needs and hopes.
The estimate was reasonable and fully encompassed our multifaceted project.
He and the team helped reroute our dishwasher shut off valve, and was very careful with our cabinets and placed it with minimal upset to the cabinet’s function. The team replaced the entire cast iron drain from the kitchen to the bathrooms with new ABS pipe. And the team was able to adjust and fix the “stack” in the garage that fed and drained the washing machine and garage sink. They were kind enough to help me install a new sink and faucet so my garage set up is much more functional and looks amazing!
I highly recommend Star Rooter and Plumbing. And am so grateful for their expertise and attention to my home.

we had a leak in our irrigation system multiple irrigation companies came they couldn’t figure it out. USA LEAK DETECTOR came and ran their test and found it in less than an hour.

Excellent experience with this company. Technicians showed up on time found my leak gave me some different options and-repaired it. Technician was very professional and knowledgeable. Hopefully, I don’t have to use their services again but if I do, I definitely will be calling them. Thank you, USA leak detector..

My father's home had a leak and we had to file an insurance claim. My father had a stroke and was not in the home at the time. The insurance company sent out USA Leak Detector to determine the cause of the leak. Steve met us at the home and did the inspection. He was very kind and patient and was really hoping we would get our claim approved. Unfortunately, the claim was ultimately denied because my father wasn't living in the home but we really appreciated the kindness and helpfulness of Steve and USA Leak Detector, while we were dealing with the difficult situation. I hope not to need this type of company again but if I did, I would definitely call them again.

We believed we had a leak somewhere in our watering system but could not see it from the surface. Leak Detector has an infrared system that they can view all of our watering system. And it works! They are our leak detectives. Great team!

Highly Recommend this company my mother-in-law had a leak in her property that multiple plumbers couldn't solve. They came and solved it less than 30 minutes and gave her a senior discount as well.

These guys are phenomenal. Very efficient, fair, and honest. Even charged less than the initial quote since they found the leak in less than 10 minutes. I've used at least 3 different leak detection companies but these guys are by far the best.

Steve went out of his way to accommodate a meeting between me and a client who had some concerns over a leak - very detailed explanation and professional behavior. Highly recommend USA Leak and highly recommend Steve!
