Plumbing reviews in Oakland, California

The technician who came out did an excellent job tracking down a leak that I couldn’t locate myself. He found the issue quickly and handled the repair with real skill. The whole thing was taken care of efficiently, and I appreciated how smoothly everything was done.

My kitchen sink was completely clogged, and I couldn’t get it to drain no matter what I tried. The technician arrived on time, clearly explained what was going on, and walked me through the service options. He worked carefully, kept everything neat, and had the issue fixed faster than I expected. He was polite, professional, and even wore shoe covers the whole time to keep my floors clean.

The plumber arrived on time, carefully diagnosed the leaking pipe, repaired it perfectly, cleaned up the workspace, explained future care tips, worked efficiently, ensured all connections were secure, and delivered excellent service.

The technician was very thorough during the inspection and took the time to be helpful throughout the visit. They explained different improvement options clearly and made sure everything was in good shape before heading out. Overall, it was a reassuring and professional experience.

From the initial visit through completion, everything went smoothly. The plumber addressed a complicated issue efficiently without unnecessary upselling, and the pricing felt fair. It’s rare to find service that’s both dependable and transparent. I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out again for future plumbing needs.

I reached out about a water heater issue and received a clear estimate right away. The team arrived as promised, got started without delay, and finished the job efficiently. The final cost matched what was discussed upfront, which I really appreciated.

I had a stubborn clog in my main drain that multiple services had failed to fix. This team came highly recommended, and they did not disappoint. The technician was knowledgeable and used the right equipment to clear everything thoroughly. He explained each step and ensured the job was done perfectly. Very professional and polite. My drains have been running smoothly ever since. Highly recommend their service!

Gasca Plumbing is where it is at! Over the past couple of months, we had a significant amount of plumbing work done — new washer and dryer valves, a new kitchen sink faucet with under-sink water filter, two new toilets, and some water pressure issues resolved. Andy not only handled everything flawlessly and at a great price, but he also gave clear and honest recommendations along the way, such as suggesting reliable toilet and faucet brands. We will definitely be calling Gasca again for any future plumbing needs.

Showed up promptly and Got the job done for a fair price.

Very professional, fast service, reasonable price, nice workers

Expert, honest service with reasonable rates, and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend!

We called Gaska Plumbing & Rooter and got an appointment for the next day. Edgar cleaned clogged dishwasher and sink hoses; and replaced a gasket in toilet tank. He was very professional and neat. 5 stars for this business.

Gasca plumbing is terrific---everything you'd want . . . quick, efficient, service at a fair price--and service by a knowledgeable plumber with great people skills. I called for a clogged kitchen drain that also ended up having a part of the pipe that was corroded. Andres (Andy) snaked the drain but also quickly replaced the damaged part of the pipe and then checked to make sure all was working right. It's a relief to know there's someone to call for plumbing crises that emerge in an old house.

Comments on subsequent visits: Andres and his crew have also replaced the waterline to the house, replaced the gas line, and most recently, come out to replace a cracked drain pipe. The prices are very reasonable, and the work is excellent and prompt. I couldn’t be happier and at this point have had a lot of experience dealing with this first-rate company.

Our house lost hot water after torrential rain and after contacting Andy he was able to come next day to check out our tankless water heater after PG&E was unable to resolve the issue. Andy was thorough, helpful, and kind and helped us restore hot water showing us how to resolve this issue on own our next time. Great service!

Fair price, quality work, will use them again! They trenched and replaced the supply line from the meter to the house, with all the associated hardware.

If I could give six stars I would.
Here was my problem. A pipe break underneath the sidewalk. The first three pictures are what I dug out to see where the leak was and to show whatever plumber. I was going to call what was needed. On the street side the pipe exited at about 5 inches below grade, on the house side 9 inches below grade, so I figured if we could remove the caisson around the EBMUD meter there was a clear line to pull out the old pipe and put in the new pipe without disrupting the sidewalk above. So I investigated Nextdoor for my neighborhood and found Gasca to be highly recommended. So I sent him the first 3 pictures and gave him a call and he said it would probably be no problem. He happened to have a crew out in the neighborhood so they came by to inspect the situation. Afterwards we had a discussion about how this was all going to be done and he said it could be done without disrupting the sidewalk. The next day Andy came in with a crew of two helpers, and they dug out more around both pipes. They cut the old pipe on either end of the sidewalk and pulled it out and you can see the hole that burst through on what I think is probably a 50-year-old pipe or older. So Andy installed a new 3/4-in service from the meter to the pipe underneath the sidewalk then to the connection for the old pipe on the house side. Future proofing a bit and it also makes sense because at some point, because of a tree in front of the house, the rest of the pipe will have to be replaced some years from now. They were done and I think a little over 3 and 1/2 hours, and the price was very reasonable for the work done. I used to do construction on the side, I had an estimate and I had it actually came in a little bit less than that. Anyway, the job was fast, professionally done, if there's any future work like a new hot water heater, I'm giving Andy a call. It's a stressful time for me for reasons outside the house stuff, so it was really nice to have a drama-free experience. One other thing. After trying a national chain for a plumbing issue at my mother's house, I found the pricing to be absolutely outrageous. So that was another reason why I went to an independent plumber. Andy has been in business for roughly 20 years, he has a few trucks and a couple of crews and it was great supporting a small business.

The Best

I'm the personal assistant for a family in Berkeley. They had a glowing review of Renoir. "Plumbers were great. So respectful, quiet and efficient. ". We will be using them again!

This is the second time I’ve used this company- impressed both times. Super professional, great communication from beginning to end, and clear cost to cure breakdown for repairs. Anytime my company needs a plumber in this part of the Bay Area- I’m calling Pipe Spy.

The team at Pipe Spy did an excellent job installing a lower lateral line at my residence in Oakland. It began by them putting a camera down the line at no charge to determine, I indeed needed a new sewer line. They were very straight forward, honest and made the whole process timely getting my compliance certificate from EBMUD in order to sell my property. I would definitely contact them again if I have any plumbing needs.
