Plumbing reviews in Oakland, California

A friend recommended Thomas & Sons Home Plumbing to me when I noticed one of my toilets was leaking. I didn’t realize then that I’d be needing their help three times in a row! My house is older and I hadn’t had any plumbing problems until recently—of course, right when I was getting ready to sell. Luckily, I found a plumbing company I can trust. Nathaniel was always quick to respond, really knowledgeable, and explained everything clearly, which I really appreciated. On the third visit, Nathaniel discovered a broken pipe under the garage. He did an excellent job fixing it, and while the repair ended up costing a bit (as big plumbing jobs often do), I felt the price was fair for the work done. Having someone reliable who comes out promptly and gets things working right is worth it. If I were staying in the area, they would definitely be my go-to plumbers. I highly recommend their services!

After a few months, we realized our water wasn’t staying hot and our water heater started making some really loud banging sounds. Not wanting to wait, i looked around and decided to call Thomas & Sons Home Plumbing. i explained everything over the phone and Barry came out the next morning with a new water heater ready to go. He was super polite, did a professional job, and finished the installation quickly. Now our water is nice and hot again, and all those weird noises are gone. we’re really happy with how fast everything got fixed and impressed with the quality of the work. We definitely saved their number for any future plumbing needs in oakland.

A tenant reached out to me about a leaking toilet in Oakland, so I contacted Thomas & Sons Home Plumbing after finding them online. Nathaniel, the plumber, arrived just a few hours later and did a full toilet rebuild, replaced the faulty shut-off valve, and put in a new toilet tank hose. He even sent pictures of the completed repairs, which really helped me feel confident about the work. Paying over the phone was quick and easy. The whole process was fast and hassle-free. I highly recommend this company and will definitely call them first for any future plumbing problems.

We give Thomas & Sons Home Plumbing a solid 10/10! Barry arrived quickly, acted very professionally, and really helped make our home in Oakland feel more secure. After a difficult home renovation with a different contractor, we found out our upstairs toilet wasn’t even hooked up to the main sewer line, and another pipe had just started leaking. Barry carefully explained everything he was doing, fixed the problems, and even checked the rest of our plumbing to let us know what needed attention right away and what could wait until later, which was super helpful since we were getting ready for a new baby. The service was friendly, thorough, and made a stressful situation much easier to handle.

My showers and toilets started backing up and overflowing, which was a big mess. After looking into it, I realized my sewer line was probably clogged, maybe because my yard was recently resodded.

He explained everything in simple terms, so I understood each step of the process. The whole repair went smoothly and didn’t take long at all. The price was very fair too. If you ever have any plumbing or sewer issues, I highly recommend giving them a call!
