Expert Drain Cleaning in Berkeley, California

We were paired with Rudy and Oscar from Superior Plumbing through our home warranty company, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From start to finish, they were professional, courteous, and exceptionally thorough. True experts who take pride in their work and deliver outstanding results. A previous plumber had written our issue off as unfixable, but Rudy and Oscar approached it with patience, skill, and determination. The other plumber hadn’t even attempted to remove the cast iron pipe cap, but they recognized that was the key to gaining proper access to the line. It was extremely stuck, yet they had the right tools, expertise, and persistence to get it open and fully unclog the drain. They communicated clearly, respected our home, cleaned up afterward, and ensured everything was functioning properly before leaving. They also took the time to explain what had caused the issue and offered practical advice on how to help prevent it in the future . They never asked for a review or tried to upsell us on additional services — their only focus was resolving the problem correctly and completely. As new homeowners, we’re incredibly grateful for their professionalism and integrity. We will absolutely be rehiring Superior Plumbing (and specifically Rudy and Oscar) for any future plumbing needs. If I could give them more than five stars, I absolutely would.

Marco and Santos installed 4 new toilets. They did a fabulous job and left no mess, they even took the boxes that the new toilets came in and hauled away the old toilets. They were very professional and extremely nice. I will definitely be keeping their number for all my future plumbing needs. Also I had them install 4 new toilet shut-off valves. Highly recommend using these plumbers.

It was a long drawn out process due to having to navigate inside the shower wall with all new parts. A cover plate was too small to cover the hole... that piece alone took over 2 months to receive. Three appointments later the job was done immaculately. Jose is a "Keeper for always!" The install became a whole day process, and not once did I hear frustration or agitation. He explained the alternate option and answered my questions and concerns. A genuinely excellent plumber with patience. The staff in the office always worked with my schedule and were professional and friendly with the reschedules. The pricing increased one time due to the extra work. I couldn't ask for more. Superior Plumbing is in my contacts for good!

Dean was awesome! Took care of clogged drain lines and installed a faucet at the kitchen sink. Also helped with adjusting the hot water in our shower stall. Professional, friendly, efficient and hard working! Couldn’t ask for more.

Outstanding service! A major drain lightwell drain was clogged. Advanced Plumbing & Drain set up an appointment for later the same day, came right on time worked quickly - with consideration for my place - and all is now clear. Totally professional, reliable and very fairly priced.

I love this company! They are responsive, professional, and fairly priced. I’ve enjoyed working with Aaron on multiple projects—he is friendly, reliable, and takes the time to explain what he’s doing. After trying three different plumbing companies in SF that were more focused on selling me things than fixing problems, this was such a refreshing change! I finally have a go-to plumber I can trust!

Highly recommend Drigo with Quality Plumbing and Drain Service. I have used him for a number of years for different issues. Snaking clogged pipes, water main project, , replacing pipes under the kitchen sink, replacing very old faucet handles and more......and feel very lucky to have found him. He does excellent work, is kind and patient. What more can you ask for.....and competitive in price.

I contacted Quality Plumbing & Drain Service for a quote to replace a leaking water heater. Drigo was able to come that same day and provided a very competitive quote. During the consultation he thoroughly addressed my questions and concerns, clearly explained the scope of work needed, and made suggestions to correct a piping issue that was previously ignored when my old water heater was installed. He didn’t try to up-sell me or use sales-pitchy language – I did a lot of research on my own prior to receiving any quotes – so I was confident he was competent, and most importantly, straightforward and honest. Although a different company would’ve been able to replace my water heater that same day, I decided to move forward with Drigo despite having to wait a couple more days due to the holiday weekend. In the meantime, he provided excellent communication (via text) regarding the parts ordered and when he’d arrive for the job. On the day of installation, Drigo arrived on time and got right to work. When he was finished, he showed me how to turn on the pilot and gave me an overview about the heat settings. Throughout the process he was friendly, professional, and efficient. He even followed up with me later that evening to ensure everything was working properly. I’m very satisfied with the quality of work done and will be contacting him for all my future plumbing needs. I highly recommend Drigo and Quality Plumbing & Drain Service for your plumbing needs too.

I have used Quality plumbing a couple times and Drigo has always been quick to respond and schedule a time to fix my drain issues. He is friendly, professional, and honest in the work needed to repair the problem and how to prevent issues in the future. Highly recommend!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five-Star Service I recently had the pleasure of having Mark Berant service the shower drain in my apartment, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. Mark arrived fully prepared, immediately understood the issue, and completed the job efficiently and with great professionalism. A little background—Mark is actually one of our lead technicians in the company, and after seeing his work firsthand, I now understand why he is considered one of the very best. His skill, confidence, and dedication truly stand out, and it’s clear why so many customers have appreciated him throughout his successful career. Mark, thank you for the exceptional service. Your work ethic and professionalism continue to inspire others to follow the path you’ve taken. You absolutely rock. — J, your humble fan

Mark B. with Arch Plumbing Inc. was professional, knowledgeable and very helpful. He was polite and very gracious when I called to confirm the appointment and showed up on time. It was clear from the moment he enter the property and examined the boiler, the water storage tank, drainage system and a few other plumbing- related systems, that he knew what he was doing. He identified where there was an immediate need for service, and where things could wait if there are budgetary constraints. I felt that he was transparent and helpful- great reflection on his company, Arch Plumbing. During the walk- thru of the property, he patiently answered all my questions. I never felt that Mark was impatient, rude and even transactional. Mark is truly a great representative of Arch Plumbing. Clearly the company’s value is to provide quality work and great customer service as evidenced in their dispatch of Mark who definitely adhere to these values!

Arch has been servicing my building for years. First with a new water heater, which required the old heater to be sawed in half to make it down the stairwell. They are resourceful, creative and have a can do attitude. My point person, June, helped initiate an emergency issue. Mark and Clarice came and serviced us with replacing a corroded pipe, installing a new expansion tank and backflow components. Could not have been nicer and very efficient. June followed up to ensure the work was completed as discussed. Plumbing is expensive but their prices seem reasonable compared to others in the city and their attention to detail, service and follow up makes it worth it. Thank you!

Very satisfied. Next-day appointment, arrived early in predicted time window. Jake was efficient and pleasant, quoted basic price up front after viewing backed-up basement drain in front. Sure enough, roots from old junipers. O'Grady had all the right stuff. Jake snaked all the way to back of house with visual, so "bonus" is report that general condition of drain is OK. Thanks!

Called at 1pm and they were out within 90 mins. I highly recommend this company. From their office staff to the technician that completed the work. They both were friendly and kept me up to date on progress with texts and pics (my choice as i was not on site). The tech found the issue and corrected it. 10 out 10 in my book. We will most definitely call again if the need arises.

Unbelievable assistance to a mystery matter which O'Grady resolved seamlessly! I actually had another plumbing co. do work prior and they left behind a matter, called them for follow up and they never responded. Contacted O'Grady for help and they were willing to assess the prior work. They did so in a professional and diligent manner. Asking all the right questions to execute the job and resolved the mystery of the other company's negligence. They were totally on top of scheduling, confirming appointment via text and email to update service arrival status...AMAZING! Very professional. I'm so impressed! I'm pretty picky and usually don't review, but I was beyond grateful for O'Grady's willingness to help out. Call them! They're for real!

My bathtub wouldn’t drain at all, which was extremely frustrating. Their specialists team removed debris deep in the line and tested multiple times. The tub drains perfectly now and the work was very thorough.

We experienced low hot water flow in the bathroom. Their plumbing team flushed the lines and fixed the blockage. The hot water pressure improved right away. Very satisfied.

The shower kept switching between hot and cold water randomly. After checking the setup, the technician discovered the mixing valve had mineral buildup. He cleaned it thoroughly and everything became stable again. I appreciated how politely he explained the cause.

Thankfully, the slow drain in our bathroom sink was fixed the same day we called. Their crew removed the blockage and cleaned the pipe thoroughly. The water now flows without any delay.

A leak developed behind the shower wall unexpectedly. I contacted this service right away. They replaced the damaged pipe and sealed the area securely. The repair was done with great attention to detail.

A water heater connection issue caused inconsistent hot water, so professional help was needed. The plumber inspected everything carefully and fixed the faulty fitting. Hot water has been steady since then. The work felt reliable and well done.

Drainbusters has been the go-to plumber for our condo building for years. Ray is always professional, quick to respond, and reasonably priced. When we recently had an issue connecting with the city water lines, he offered us multiple options to resolve and kept the work space in our garage tidy. Thanks again, Ray and team!

Thank you, Ray, for coming so quickly to fix the drain problems in our shower and at another time in our sinks. Thanks also for fixing a leaky pipe that caused our washing machine to flood the floor. With your immediate help we avoided a disaster!

We have had Ray and team come out a few times to help with plumbing issues within the past year - from a water heater replacement, leaking washer and dryer pipes that involved removing some drywall, and a major trench repair involving the city. Ray is very knowledgeable, thorough, and always provides updates. I highly recommend Ray's services!

Service Pros Plumber completed a trenchless sewer replacement in a first class manner. A free camera inspection was done and a detailed written estimate was provided promptly. After getting two other opinions and bids we selected Service Pros. The job was completed promptly exactly as scheduled and was permitted and approved by both city and sewer inspectors. The staff was professional, courteous, and cleaned the job site thoroughly leaving it almost entirely as it was. I heartily recommend them.

Every team member that I worked with from Service Pro Plumbers, by phone or on site, were amazing. It was a crisis time for me to be without water and although I had to wait through the process to get a clearance from Home Serve they helped keep me calm and assured me I was in good hands. Wilber Amaya was the main plumber who installed our new water line. He was professional and answered all my questions throughout the installation process. He was extra careful to remove only a small part of our hedge and it was amazing to see how he dug around the massive roots of our 70 plus year old orange tree. I recommend Service Pro Plumbing and Wilber without reservation. Although it took more time than I would have liked to get Home Serves approval they too recognized the stress I was under and work extra hard to find a plumber company who could see me in two days instead of five or more. I appreciate the way they took my situation seriously and helped secure Service Pro Plumbers for me. The job was over $8,000 and I could not have handled the cost without Home Serve insurance.

JP, Jhonny, and their crew did an excellent job replacing the main sewage line from our home to the street. The trenchless pipe technology they used was incredibly effective and minimized disruption. The price was very reasonable for four days of work, which also included inspections by the City of Walnut Creek and Central San. Throughout the project, the team was professional, efficient, and respectful of our property. They also made sure everything was thoroughly cleaned up once the job was completed. We give JP, Jhonny, and the entire crew a “10-star” rating. We are very happy. Thank you to Service Pros Plumbing for the outstanding service!

Genteel Plumbers is committed to doing jobs right and to having satisfied customers. I called them to fix some plumbing issues with our clothes washer (both the hot and cold lines were coming from the hot water heater). They sorted out the problem but when they went to turn the main back on, it wouldn’t come on. Turns out the main line under the driveway was deteriorating. So they pulled all their available crew to come to our house to do an emergency main line replacement, which involved digging a trench in the driveway. Mind you it’s mid-day already and we are leaving for a vacation the next day. They worked as efficiently as they could to get everything finished and just before dark (probably 8pm since this was early July) they drove away. I was incredibly impressed with their workmanship and dedication to getting the job done on our deadline, and they were so kind and respectful. However, the speed with which they had to work meant that they couldn’t put much time and attention to the driveway repair. So I mentioned a few months later that I wasn’t happy with the driveway and they agreed that it wasn’t their best work. I said it wasn’t urgent so anytime they could come repair it would be great. Then early this week they called and said they would repair the driveway. Two days of work later it looks brand new. I will use Genteel Plumbers for all of my plumbing needs in the future. I’ve never experienced a company so committed to customer satisfaction and all around they are incredibly kind, skilled, and quality people.

I had the pleasure to meet Joan Leyva a technician sent by Genteel Plumbers to do some needed work at my place. He was very kind, knowledgeable, well trained and he took time to explain all my options. At the end my family and I were very grateful for the outstanding service Joan provided. We would highly recommend him and his company for the professionalism and good quality work. Five Stars!!!

Genteel Plumbers always does a great job. They are never the cheapest option, but I feel very confident that the work that they do is solid and usually includes some sort of a warranty. They are excellent about communicating along the way and the technicians are always friendly and seem very very capable.
