Central Plumbing & Sewers

Paul was recommended by my agent to complete my sewer lateral.

He showed up when he said he was going to for the estimate, and showed up on the agreed upon start date for the job.

The sewer lateral required extra work that was unforeseen, but no big deal on the extra day on my end, and was probably a pain for him and his crew. I paid what was agreed upon at the estimate, nothing more, nothing less.

He also came back to complete the roadwork when the first pass seemed fine.

In my case, Paul completed the work, on time, and at the agreed upon price. You run into a lot of bull and unreliable people during the home buying process, but Paul was great.

Paul is great! We've been using him for work related projects and hopefully soon house related projects. Since it is work related, I have to get 2 other bids in addition to his to present to our clients. He ALWAYS comes in lowest. He's super quick, doesn't cut corners and always gets the job done right.

We had a slow sewer leak and Paul was able to get to us within an hour. He quoted a fair price and stuck to it. Really good work and pretty good communication. I would use them again for sure!

I give Paul and his crew 5++ stars. They have done sewer lateral repair work for my clients for a number of years now, but more recently for me. I am happy to report that he has gone the extra mile to communicate details and execute on doing excellent work.

Paul has been my plumber for years and I can't say enough good things about him. He is prompt, honest, and fair. He takes time to explain things and doesn't leave until the job is complete. I've recommended him to many friends and they all have been happy with him. Being a realtor, I am very careful when it comes to recommending someone, since it reflects on me if it doesn't work out. I don't hesitate to give out Paul's name for any plumbing work.

Not sure about these other reviews, but I had a great experience with Paul and his crew. He was attending to sewer lateral work. Although it had to be done in stages, it was not his fault, and actually his approach was the most reasonable way to do it, since we wanted to not go overboard with replacement until we knew exactly what was needed. I found Paul attentive and careful in his approach.

I had a sink hole in my yard that rodents were coming out of. Central Plumbing came out in the next week and replaced a cracked sewer pipe. A few months later I found another sink hole in a different location. Paul said the best solution would be to replace the whole lateral with a trenchless pipe repair. Paul's bid was reasonable and he was very knowledgeable about getting the permits and sewer lateral certificate.

I had an emergency sewage breakage at my mother's house on Sunday. My handyman called in a 24 hour plumbing service and they ""rootered"" the interior pipes but said the exterior pipes were collapsed. Their estimate for the exterior work was staggering. I called up Paul at Central Plumbing because he replaced the lateral sewage at my house several years ago and did an excellent job. When I called Paul on Wednesday, he accessed the situation that day and had a crew out there today, Thursday. The job was thorough, professional, and they cleaned up so well that it's not easy to tell where they dug. They installed two new access points and they were significantly less expensive than the 24 hour service.

My neighbor's general contractor hired Central for a Sewer lateral replacement. I lived 9 months with a street hole in front of my house created by Central Plumbing. F grade work. When I met him, he was defensive and argumentative just like a narcissist.

Late one evening, I saw Central fill the last two inches of the sewer lateral hole with dirt and step on it to compact it and toss on the asphalt. The asphalt started to sink daily as cars ran over it. The asphalt patch sunk about 1-1/2 inches when the middle thin part was displaced to the dirt. Then the rains started and the dirt hole got deep enough for me to put in 3 inch cobble and 1-1/2 inch block in another hole.

The next spring, after the City called Central, he came out to fix the hole and insinuated it was my fault for not calling him. Neither the owner nor I knew who did the work.

For my lateral replacement, I hired an excellent lateral plumber Challenger Rooter.

My wife and I recently bought a house in Oakland. We didn't want to be rushed to get the sewer lateral compliant before closing, so we filed the extension with the city. After livin there for about 3 months, we decided we should probably get it done before we got to close to the time limit on the extension.
