Top Rated Plumbers in Union City, California
Handy Plumbing Man, LLC
1011 American St, San Carlos, CA 94070, USA
(650) 899-649512/5/25 - 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.
5 months agoMr 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!
3 months agoJerry 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
3 months agoAll Panthers Plumbing Inc
261 Rome Pl, Hayward, CA 94544, USA
(510) 952-9570I 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.
4 months agoCesar 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.
1 year agoGustavo 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.
3 months agoPeninsula Plumbing Solutions Inc
170 Glenn Way, San Carlos, CA 94070, USA
(650) 681-2290Alan 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!!!
2 months agoWas 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!

1758 Junction Ave E, San Jose, CA 95112, USA
(650) 537-2860Kevin did an outstanding job clearing our stubborn clogged shower drain—water flows perfectly now! He explained the issue clearly, gave an upfront price with no surprises, and the cost felt very fair for the great work. Professional, friendly, and trustworthy. Highly recommend him—thank you, Kevin! Great service—5 stars!
3 months agoErnesto, Kevin, and Miguel helped to replace a portion of my main and lateral line after a blockage. They explained everything clearly as we went along and were patient with me while I made decisions about what we could commit to financially. They worked extremely fast and were communicative about timelines and inspections. They even came back out a month later to check on something I had noticed, but wound up not being a problem. Overall, super happy with our Rooter Solutions experience.
3 months agoI just did a major sewer line repair all the way to city drop with Rooter Solution and found them very professional, communicated well and based on my understanding they did super good quality work. I found them bit expensive but I went ahead with them because I found out that they had all the right tools, people and know how and doesn't have to get other sub-contractor involved. Will go to them again if I need any sewer/plumbing work and highly recommend them.
2 months agoOn R Way Plumbing & Drain Cleaning
27540 E 12th St, Hayward, CA 94544, USA
(415) 794-1331Very 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.

8 months agoMr. Rooter Plumbing of Sunnyvale - Mountain View
1098 W Evelyn Ave Suite 110, Sunnyvale, CA 94086, USA
(408) 290-0116Adrian was great. We had a blockage in the main line that was causing our sinks to back up, and he came out and cleared it quickly. Super friendly, explained what was going on, and got everything draining normally again. Really appreciate the help!
2 months agoWe had an emergency plumbing issue late last night (bathroom shower overflowed and sewage material started coming up out of the drain and flooded into the hallway - yuck). I called Mr Rooter at 8:20 PM on a Sunday and they answered right away and dispatched a plumber who was wrapping up a job in the area. The plumber, Adrian, arrived within the hour and got to work right away and identified that the issue was the main drain pipe (likely damaged by tree roots). He was extremely thorough - he walked the entire perimeter of the house to identify all the drain entries, went under the house into the crawl space to identify the leaks, did a thorough flush to clear the blockage, and then even cleaned up the bathroom for me after. Super grateful for his service, I saved their number for future emergencies. Highly, highly recommend!
2 days agoAdrian Perez camo on time. I appreciate that he checked all the sinks and toilets and gave his opinion and recommend to do some service. He was very helpful and answered all of my questions well. He worked on to put silicone gel at a place where there was small opening and diligently did very good job and I sincerely appreciate his service. Thank you Adrian.

5 months agoPro Roto Plumbing
1472 Oddstad Dr, Redwood City, CA 94063, USA
(650) 269-0190Fabian & Oscar did a great job. They cleared a plugged drain line that another company failed at. They were efficient, professional, and cleaned up. I think Pro-Roto is a great company!
3 months agoIssac came over to clear my clean out drain. Looks like eventually I’ll need to have the pipe out to the street replaced. So thankful for Issac explaining options. He is easy to work with. Great job!
4 months agoWaldir at ProRoto did a great job managing 2 big project for us- water main from house to sidewalk box, with back flow valve and replacing the last of our galvanized pipes and cast iron sewer line under the house. They worked so hard, did a beautiful job and left the work areas like new. They were great to work with. I had gotten estimates from 3 plumbing companies. I highly recommend them. Ask for Waldir to manage the work!
6 months agoWizard Plumbing and Drain
2300 Palm Ave, San Mateo, CA 94403, USA
(650) 275-4988Exceptional service and an exceptional team!!! I lost hot water pressure and right away I knew something was wrong with my water heater. Since it was Sunday I had to email a few places and one of them was Wizard plumbing. Monday morning I got a few responses but Wizard plumbing was the quickest of them all and could dispatch someone urgently. Kevin arrived and identified that the water heater was leaking and needed to be replaced, after answering my many questions and making calls around to find the model I wanted. Shortly after Dino arrived and the pair not only replaced the water heater but also fabricated a custom pan to adhere to the current drain that was in place. They also replaced the leaky hot water valve as well as an automatic shut off valve. Throughout the whole time, they were curious, attentive, and thorough. They got the job done wonderfully and quickly within a few hours; this was exceptionally important as we have little kids. As they say, you get what you pay for and with Wizard plumbing, you get every Penny's worth. Don't just look for the cheapest but look for quality and Dino and Kevin are a great example of why that is the case. Thank you very much. A rockstar team for sure.
2 years agoMade an appointment three days prior, they took down all of my information and asked me a bunch of questions. The morning of the appointment, I get a text message saying they do not service my area and have to cancel. Why didn’t you tell me that three days ago when I made the appointment and gave you my address? Waste of time.
4 months agoI’ve lived in a house that was built in 1947 for 10 years. So I’ve had more than a few plumbers come through for various issues during that time. A termite inspector found a leak, so I panic-called the first result on Yelp (I don’t usually do that). Wizard Plumbing came through, assessed the situation, and gave me a number of options, each with associated costs. Not one to mess around with plumbing, I went with the most extensive & labor intensive option (and I’m glad I did; see pix). Out of all the plumbers I’ve done business with over the years, Wizard Plumbing proved to be — by far — the most honest, fair, competent, experienced and thorough. In fact, if I made a Venn diagram with all of those attributes for each of the plumbers I’ve done business with, Wizard would be the only one that made a perfect circle. They’ve definitely made a customer for life.
5 years agoBG Plumbing
3520 Haven Ave St L, Redwood City, CA 94063, USA
(650) 481-5943Luis and team did an amazing job and got us out of an emergency where we had sewer back up. They came in on a short notice, identified the problem, found where the block was and worked through till ~9 pm to make sure that our washrooms start working, even though it started raining suddenly and kept raining while they were working. They were literally drenched till the end. Talk about work ethic!! Right from the start, the experience was amazing and professional. Luis patiently took multiple of my calls. He even did facetime and explained what a clean out looks like and helped me find if we have one already. From start to finish we could see that the team cares about the job, and is darn good at it. Thanks a lot guys!
5 months agoThis is the 2nd time I've used BG Plumbing, and again, they saved the day for me! Baldo sent Kevin out on his day off to help me out of a bind with my water heater. They were very accommodating of my schedule and worked around my needs. I am very grateful for their flexibility and expertise in fixing my water heater! I highly recommend them!
5 months agoVincent was very professional and efficient. Would recommend his service if anyone plumbing has any issues. I had a last min piping issue he cam at 9pm to help me get the job done. Really appreciate the service. Need more professionals like him. Thank you Vincent :)
4 months agoProfessional Drain Cleaning in Union City, California
Living in Union City means dealing with the unique plumbing demands of the East Bay. Whether you are located near the bustling Union Landing Shopping Center or tucked away in the established residential neighborhoods of Decoto, a clogged drain can bring your household to a screeching halt. The challenge isn't just finding a plumber; it's finding one who can actually show up when you need them.
Our service takes the guesswork out of emergency repairs. We maintain a comprehensive network of certified Union City plumbers, but we go a step further than a simple directory. We filter every request by your specific zip code and proactively call the professionals to ensure they have an immediate opening. We confirm they have the tools and the time to solve your issue before we even connect you.
By the time you speak with a technician, you can rest easy knowing they are already briefed on your situation and ready to head to your Union City home. Our goal is to eliminate the 'no-show' and the 'booked-until-next-week' frustrations common in Alameda County, providing you with rapid, reliable drain cleaning solutions 24 hours a day.
Common Drain Issues in Union City, California
Tree Root Intrusion: Many of Union City’s mature neighborhoods feature beautiful, established trees whose roots are constantly seeking moisture. These roots often penetrate older sewer lines, leading to stubborn blockages and potential pipe collapses that require professional hydro-jetting.
Hard Water Scale: The East Bay water supply can lead to significant mineral buildup inside galvanized pipes. Over time, this scale narrows the interior diameter of your plumbing, making it much easier for hair, soap scum, and small debris to create frequent, frustrating clogs.
Aging Infrastructure in Historic Districts: In the older sectors of Union City, such as the Decoto area, many homes still utilize original cast-iron or clay pipes. These materials are prone to shifting with the California soil, leading to bellied lines where debris collects and causes repeated backups.
Kitchen Grease and 'FOG': With Union City’s busy family lifestyle, kitchen drains often take a beating. Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) solidify deep within the pipes, especially during the cooler months, necessitating more than just a simple snake to fully clear the line.
Seasonal Drain Maintenance Tips for Union City, California
Pre-Winter Drain Inspection: Before the Bay Area’s rainy season begins in late fall, ensure your outdoor area drains and gutters are clear. This prevents heavy rains from backing up into your home's main waste line or causing foundation issues.
Holiday Disposal Care: During the busy holiday season in Union City, avoid putting fibrous vegetables like celery or starchy potato peels down your garbage disposal to prevent a kitchen sink emergency during your family gathering.
Springtime Root Maintenance: As vegetation in the East Bay goes into a growth spurt during spring, keep an eye out for 'gurgling' toilets. This is often the first sign that roots have invaded your sewer line and need to be cleared before a total backup occurs.
Summer Pipe Check: During dry Union City summers, the soil can shrink and shift, potentially cracking older pipes. If you notice unexplained damp spots in your yard or a sudden drop in water pressure, it’s time for a professional camera inspection.
Average Drain Cleaning Costs in Union City, California
Pricing for drain cleaning in Union City typically depends on the location of the clog (secondary line vs. main sewer line) and the equipment required, such as specialized snakes or high-pressure hydro-jetting machines. Emergency after-hours service may also impact the final cost.
