Expert Drain Cleaning in Newark, CA

12/5/25 - Handy Man Plumbing helped me identify a clog in my sewer line with a thorough inspection. They gave me a competitive quote for installing a house clean out and cleaning the sewer line. The installation was done quickly and avoided messing up the yard. Highly recommended. 12/16/25 - Update. I decided to have Handy Man Plumbing replace my very old sewer lines under my house. Their quote was the most competitive. They kept our place clean during their work, sealing off our rooms from dust and covering the floors. They were very thorough, replacing all old GI pipes and even some old ABS pipes. While the scope of work was for "horizontal" pipe replacement, they did their best to replace as many "vertical" pipes that they could without opening any drywall (shower drains, toilet flanges). They also helped me repair some bad water supply pipes the noticed while doing their work. They didn't try to upsell me on trying to replace all my water supply lines, and with these repairs, said it should be good for a while. In all of this, they did not charge any additional fees for the extra work they did (i.e. needing to dig under two foundation walls, doing extra repairs, or needing an extra day of work). Highly recommended.

Mr Arturo Lopez was fantastic. He arrived on time with pre-arrival notification and tracking available. Arturo was knowledgeable, neat and efficient. He took the time to show me the repair and explain why it was needed. This was a two step process with technician Denis Orellana first diagnosing the issues and providing a quote. Once I accepted the quote and scheduled the service, Arturo Lopez arrived to make the necessary repairs. 100% trustworthy service by a two really nice guys. Thank you Denis, Arturo, and Handy Plumbing Man!

Jerry and Brayen were great - explained the issues clearly and compared short term vs long term options for the pipes in our home. It is also very convenient that you can book online and we were able to book an appointment for the very next morning. Will definitely use them again

Alan came on time, introduced himself, and asked how he could help! After I explained the clogged drain line from the kitchen sink he asked to take a look. As he came inside the front door he put on cloth booties so as not to track in dirt or soil. And each time he went out he removed them and upon re- entering he put them back on! After looking he texted a job price and requested I approve the cost of repair, which I did. He brought in his tools and proceeded to promptly extract the material which was clogging the drain. He then made several tests to ensure adequate water flow down the drain, and to make sure the under the sink plumbing was not leaking. Success!!! Drain was flowing freely and no leaks were present. I was able to pay the agreed upon price by credit card on the spot and I immediately received an emailed receipt! Overall this was a very positive experience. I will not hesitate co use this service in the future if need arises!!!

Was referred to Peninsula Plumbing Solutions by a good friend of mine who just used them to fix her clog toilet on a Saturday. She was extremely impressed with them. Our garbage disposal stopped working so I call PPS on Tuesday afternoon sent them a video of my garbage disposal. Within minutes they had a quote for work to be done. They said someone could be out next day, what time would work best for me. Perfect communication both by phone and text message, took my needs for time of arrival into consideration and arrived on time next morning. Hector was polite, professional got right to work removing the old disposal and replacing it with my new Insinkerator Disposal. Nora at the office handled my payment over the phone by credit card, informed that there is a 90 day workmanship guarantee on all work performed by the company! They are a new company located in Redwood City but work in the East Bay Area as well, which is where I reside. I highly recommend PPS for your plumbing needs and will happily refer them to friends and family. Thank you PPS, Nora, Mari & Hector Outstanding Job!

Great experience with Peninsula Plumbing Solutions. I had a leak and Hector came out and fixed it right away. He was professional, quick, and explained what he was doing. Highly recommend.

I called All Panthers Plumbing because of all the good reviews. I was not disappointed. I'm super relieved and happy with the work done by Cesar. He gave a reasonable price to fix our clogged kitchen sink and worked on it for hours until it cleared. I would definitely recommend him and will call him again for any future plumbing issues.

Cesar and his team did a great and clean job. They were able to come out the same day to provide me a quote and were able to schedule right away. I had some drainage issues because of some old cast iron plumbing I had and within a day they were able to replace the plumbing underneath my home and have it functioning like it should. Thanks again to Cesar and his team who were very professional. Would contact again.

Gustavo came to my house to fix an older model shower faucet that others told me couldn't be fixed & had to be entirely replaced, but Gustavo was able to repair it in a matter of minutes. Also he was attentive to a couple other leaks that he noticed and let me know about them, AND he helped me fix those and taught me how to maintain it in the future too. I had been wrapping all my threads with Teflon tape and he taught me better methods, when to use and when not to use the Teflon, etc. Great guy and great service. I learned a lot of things to do to care better for my house. Love that guy.

My kitchen sink was clogged so I called Crown plumbing services. The plumber was on time. He shared with me that my kitchen sink was only partially clogged. He ran some hot water and then it’s unclogged. However, I got charged a $200( after discount) diagnosis fee. He told me if any work was performed, it would have been more than $400. I’m new to this but felt quite shocked for a 5 min time he spent at my place. Is it already so expensive nowadays to hire a plumber? Just would like to hear from you all. :)

I want to take a second and write a quick review. My guest bathroom toilet was backed up and i could not get it to flush. I reached out Crown Plumbing and spoke to Abraham and he immediately had me on schedule within minuets. The next day Pablo came out with amazing customer service and had my toilet working in no time. The level of customer service is second to non. If you have any plumbing needs call Crown Plumbing you will not be disappointed.

Technician was thorough and honest about my issues. He did an outstanding job and was efficient. He was here two years ago for the same problem. He highly recommends replacing pipes under the house which are approximately 70 years old.

Plumber was on time, friendly, and wore shoe covers. He assessed the situation and went to work. He got the blockage cleared and then cleaned the whole sink area. Very professional.

it was 700 pm when i called. plumber was here very quick after initial phone call. came out and gave me the options available to fix the clogged drain main drain. Got to it and got it done. Drain fixed. professional and very clean. He deserves a raise. 5 stars.

I had a very disappointing experience with $15 Sewer and Drain. After installing a new washer, our hot water stopped working and we heard running water behind the walls. We called them for help, but while waiting, we researched the issue ourselves and found it was likely air in the pipes that needed to be bled via a water heater valve. When the plumber arrived, we told him exactly what we found. He simply turned that one valve—a task that took literally 2 seconds—and then charged us $195. Most importantly, he never provided a price upfront, which is completely dishonest. Charging nearly $200 for a 2-second fix without any prior disclosure of the fee is unethical and poor business practice. I do not recommend this company.

I could not be happier with the HUGE job EJ Plumbing did for me. My slow shower drain turned out to be caused by disintegrated plumbing under my 70-year old house (tree roots came up when they snaked the drain, ugh). Jonathan was extremely helpful in diagnosing it, and supervisor Ryan Kennedy came right away to work out potential solutions to a very extensive and expensive problem. Ryan and Jonathan used a camera with a tracker to trace the issue through the lines. No perfect options with rotting plumbing under a slab. They listened to my priorities and we agreed on the best, least invasive solution. They came out promptly to start the job - a whole team digging through my brick walkway and front yard to replace the outdoor line, followed by cutting into my drywall to spray an epoxy liner through my indoor lines. They were extremely careful, hardworking and professional. Best of all, they took such incredible care putting everything back, including my yard, drywall and checkerboard brick walkway. Above and beyond!!! I am so impressed. Very very happy with EJ's honesty, reliability, professionalism, skill and even artistry. I had used them before for a small, simple job but this was a huge, difficult effort and I could not be more pleased. Thanks to Ryan, Jonathan, Ivan, Gerardo and the whole team at EJ for your excellent service!!!

We bought our tankless water heater from EJ Plumbing 2 years ago. And we had it serviced today for its annual maintenance. We've been loyal customers of EJ Plumbing. We love their prompt response, professionalism, clear communication and follow up. I have personally communicated with the company's owner, Danny, on numerous occasions and found him deeply committed to taking good care of his customers. Today's service was done by German who went above and beyond to make sure our water heater is fully serviced and as good as new.

EJ plumbing was great! We called Monday late afternoon (for a non-urgent issue) and got an appointment with Luis the very next morning. After considering our options we decided to replace the toilet that we had issue with. We ordered a toilet from Lowe’s and had it delivered that same day. Luis came back on Wednesday and installed the new toilet for us. The whole installation took less than one hour and we are very happy with the result! Would definitely use EJ plumbing for future needs!

Dylan is outstanding. He not only fixed the sewage blockage, but identified a bigger issue underneath the house. His thoroughness and expertise were impressive. Highly recommended!"

Worked with Mike on the drain clogging issue. Mike was very quick to diagnose the issue and provide a straightforward assessment and mitigation plan. No long winded explanations or side tracking arguments. He provided a reasonable estimate. And was able to fix the clogging issue at its root in a quick turn around time. Overall glad to work with him and will continue to use Superior plumbing team for future issues.

Great service. It was quick and it was easy. I had to have a detection device installed in the house for the insurance company. I called Superior plumbing. They were here next day and actually we're able to finish it on the same day.

Very honest and nice people! I called Jeff because we were having a clogged kitchen sink and the water backed out from our laundry room. He sent a guy pretty quick who is pretty cool and knowledgeable. The sink somehow started working before Herbert arrived but he still helped us to check out any potential issues, made sure all is good and gave us some advice as well. We will definitely call them again if we have any further plumbing problems.

Had a toilet overflow emergency and these guys came through fast. They showed up quickly, figured out the issue right away, and broke the pipe just in time to stop things from getting worse. Super thankful for how fast and on it they were—definitely recommend if you ever need quick plumbing help!

On R Way Plumbing are knowledgeable, trustworthy and highly skilled plumbers. Over the past several years, their industry expertise has enabled them to diagnose our plumbing issues quickly. Their entire staff are always respectful, communicative and considerate of our home Thank you for your exceptional service.... Donna

I manage a small duplex in Berryessa and one tenant called saying there was a sewer smell drifting through the yard near the cleanout. We put this off too long, assuming it was just dry drains. JB Rooter and Plumbing recommended a camera sewer inspection to see what was actually going on. They sent me the video footage afterward, which made it easy to understand the problem—tree roots had found their way into the line. Since it’s an older property with mature landscaping, I guess it’s not surprising. They explained the options without pushing a full replacement right away. The scheduling was smooth and they coordinated access with my tenant directly. As a rental owner, I need vendors who respect both my time and the people living there, and they handled it professionally from start to finish.

Jerry replaced our water heater and did an excellent job—professional, efficient, and within a reasonable budget. He explained everything clearly and was upfront about the costs, which I really appreciated. Later, I reached out to him about a sewage blockage. Instead of trying to charge for a service, he honestly told me it was the city's responsibility and advised me to contact them directly. I followed his advice, and the city resolved the issue. It’s not easy to find someone so skilled, honest, and genuinely helpful. Highly recommend Jerry for any plumbing work!

Jerry is an exceptional plumber and is an extremely experienced as well as knowledgeable person. He has been my goto person for any kind of plumbing issues. Very reliable, reasonable pricing and great service. I highly recommend him if you have any plumbing needs.

On Sunday, I needed immediate service so I started going down the list of plumbers near me that are open 24/7. Four different businesses didn’t answer the phone and one said they only take appointments…. What??? Drain Doctor Fremont was next and I was assured someone would be at my home within the hour. The technician was here within 30 minutes and just as quickly he had cleared the drain from the street. Both the office and the technician were very courteous and wanted to make sure I was satisfied. The task was completed, but I will tell you service makes all the difference! Job well done, and it let me get back to my weekend quickly!

I’ve worked with Drain Doctors Plumbing on many residential and commercial projects, and they consistently deliver exceptional results.

They’re punctual, communicative, and always maintain a clean, safe worksites. Whether it’s new construction, remodels, or emergency repairs, Drain Doctors brings a level of expertise and reliability. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a skilled and dependable plumber.

OK, this is overdue. Last month I noticed water on the garage cement floor and thought it was just moisture. After careful review I noticed that the water heater was leaking. I called four different plumbers to get estimates with Drain Doctor being the first one I called. A little history of my previous water heater is in order. in 2019 I was overseas, and the heater broke and leaked all over the garage damaging some important personal items. My girlfriend at the time called a plumber who installed a new heater and what a mess it was. That plumber used galvanized steel for the inlet and outlet of the heater lines. Routed the pressure relief pipe into the water heater pan rather than outside of the pan and installed my recirculating pump facing the side wall where I could not gain access. Additionally, the gas line reservoir was installed by the water heater rather than near the gas line valve coming out of the wall. There were no 2x4 boards in the back of the heater for earth quake bracing and the water lines were not earth grounded, all of which are city compliance requirement. To say the least it was a cluster F. When Bobby from Drain doctor showed up, he immediately pointed out the nonconformance of the water heater and gave me a bottom-line price from his standard pricing book which no other plumbers could beat. Some quotes were almost double and after negotiating with those plumbers they got close to Bobby's price which didn't sit well with me. So, I decided to go with Bobby and that proved to be fortuitist based on his efficient and compliant work. Bobby is a plethora of plumbing information or more like a Wikipedia of plumbing. He does have a laid back and straight forward attitude but don't let that fool you. He's the top gun in his industry. Anyway, I've read some of the negative reviews and in each case, there has been a unique set circumstance that all of us experienced in our daily life but over 99%+ of Drain Doctor reviews are very positive. I can't tell you how happy we are with his work and in fact our outside main water line inlet valve was broken, unbeknown to us and we had him come back the next day to fix that as well. I didn't bother getting other quotes because I knew Bobby would give us a competitive price but more importantly do the job right. Anyway, you can't go wrong with Drain Doctor and ask for Bobby. Bobby is your man. Lastley, I don’t usually write reviews, but I was so impressed with the work I was compelled to write about our experience. Thank you, John A.
