Central Plumbing & Sewers

Paul obliterated the competition on price for replacing my sewer lateral. His crew arrived on time and worked until the job was completely finished and the permit was finaled. And, despite the fact that the job involved new concrete, mountains of mud, and other assorted filth being unearthed, they left the property in better shape that they found it.

Had some issues with my kitchen sink not draining. Paul came by same day and fixed issue within 30 min. Reasonably priced and professional. Very satisfied.

Paul is my son-in-law. I have watched this young man work so hard to support his wife and 5 kids. He comes home tired and still takes time to play with his kids, laugh with his lovely wife, and joke around with any friend or neighbor who stops by. He is considerate of his employees and pays a living wage with benefits. He is the best father, the best employer, and the hardest worker I have ever seen. He's human and surely has a bad day now and then, but I've known him since he and my daughter were in high school, and I have never seen him give anything less than his best. I would highly recommend Paul Croxton and Central Plumbing.

I've never written a Yelp! review before, but after my bad experience with Paul Croxton and Central Plumbing, I'm motivated to warn others away. This company was recommended to us by our realtor for sewer lateral repair/replacement. They came out, inspected the job, and told us it would take two days. When they had neither showed up nor called halfway through the first day, I called and left a message on the answering machine. They finally showed up at about 2pm. Long story short, a 2-day job ended up taking 7 days. We were left without laundry over a weekend. They damaged the bathtub drain, which leaked onto the heating ducts in the basement, and were slow to respond to phone calls for help. They destroyed a mature fruit tree in the back yard which, with proper advance notice (which I specifically asked for), could have been saved and replanted by our gardener. They were routinely late, giving lame excuses (""Something came up""), resulting in loud work being done during the dinner/kid's bedtime hours rather than during the day when the house was empty. Although the job did eventually get done, they were not respectful of our time or our property. I strongly advise you to find another contractor for your sewer lateral or plumbing work.

I am coming from a business point of view, this company does not pay their bills. They are quite dishonest. Their word means nothing, its only noise coming out of their mouth...They DO NOT pay their bills...Customers, beware......

Paul and his crew did our sewer lateral job in a timely, friendly manner, and addressed follow-up issues quickly. Thanks!

I have used Paul and his crew at both of my properties for sewer replacment and to fix some minor plumbing problems. They have been great, price was fair and they even gave me a discount on the plumbing items cause they were there doing sewer work. I highly recommend there services.

I am a real estate broker in Berkeley. Everyone here has to prove that their sewer laterals are in good shape when they sell their house.

There are a lot of people in the yellow pages offering video inspection. AVOID THEM, if you don't know them. They might not do it right, and they might be grumpy, besides. Call Paul instead, he is the best!

I highly recommend him for the initial video inspection, and then for the lateral replacement if you have to do the replacement..

We love Paul Croxton of Central Plumbing. I work in real estate and we use Paul for almost of all of our plumbing needs, especially for the all important sewer lateral video inspections in the city of Berkeley. No matter what your sewer and plumbing needs are, call Paul. Terrific work with a great attitude at an affordable price. Who could ask for more?

I live in El Cerrito and my real estate person recommended Central
plumbing (alameda) it was the cheapest price so we went ahead.
While the sewer line is fine, my street is not. They never came
back to fix the area where they dug up the street! I called the city and
yes, they did get a permit. But they never were given a ""final"" by the
city. It took more than a year but
they finally came back and made the patch more flat. it's better
but not great. I also did not like their crew. I had complaints from
my neighbors regarding their set up of traffic flow/control.

I would not recommend them as I have to live on this street and it
looks bad.
