Kato Plumbing

Professional, courteous, efficient, personable, and fixed my sewer drainage emergency on a Saturday morning.

Called me back promptly. Arrived on time. Ran a snake through my sewer line, and cleaned out the gunk that was causing water to come up through the bathroom tub whenever a toilet was flushed. In and out in about 40 minutes. Very happy now.

Fair, honest, efficient, reliable!
On time! Punctual!
Also professional and patient with children ( my toddler who thought it was amazing to watch the toilet removed and reset )
This is the best plumber I've worked with.

Private sewer lateral issues? Go no where but Kato Plumbing!

At the recommentation of my realtor, two plumbers (don't want to name here), but they are from Pinole and El Sobrante. They inspected my sewer lateral only to jump into conlclusion to fix it, to get certified with an estimated cost close to 5 grand.

Since the house was built in 1981 and relatively is a new house here in El Cerrito. I have every reason to try an another opinion. Thanks to Yelp! I found Kato Plumbing to inspect one more time and moment he snaked his camera through the line, quote ""I am 99% sure your lateral will pass"" 100% TRUE my sewer lateral passed rigorous water test infront of EBMUD inspector. Which not only saved me thousands of dollars but found a honest plumber for all my future plumbing jobs if I needed.

Having said that I am safe to say Kato Plumbing is one of the few HONEST plumbers in EastBay.

The best!! I called Kato Plumbing at 4:30 pm with a backed up toilet and he was nice enough to come by 30 minutes later. We had a pretty bad clog to where the toilet needed to removed. He found the culprit, flush able wipes. Yeah they are not so flush able I guess. He pulled out a nice size bag full of them :( . They were very friendly,detailed,professional, courteous and CLEAN! I hope I do not have ANY more plumbing issues but if I did I would always call Kato Plumbing from now on. The price was very reasonable and we have a working toilet now! It is also nice to also support local Albany businesses. Thank you!!!

I called Kato Plumbing after reading all of the good reviews on Yelp, and I wasn't disappointed! Sonam is a wonderful plumber: honest, smart, patient, and a pleasure to talk to. We needed the flange on our toilet replaced because it had rusted out, and he not only repaired it quickly and efficiently, but his price was extremely reasonable--much less than I expected. I plan to call him again the next time I need anything repaired--I'm delighted to have met a really good plumber!

Sonam is fast, efficient, and licensed. Unclogged the bathroom pipes in no time. Would use him again anytime!

Wow - I called Kato Plumbing at noon, a man named Sonam said he could get to my house between 3 and 4 pm that day so I left work early to be home during the time slot. He arrived at 3:55 (and apologized for being a bit late - even though he wasn't!). He was professional, clean, and courteous and my drain was cleared within 35 minutes. I was thrilled - and the price was great. I'm VERY happy with Kato Plumbing and will definitely call them if I ever need plumbing services again. I recommend without any hesitation!

I had the opportunity to hire Kato plumbing just recently. The owner Mr. Sonam came out and did the job himself (change the water heater). He was very efficient and energetic. I was very impressed with his job on my water heater. Also he was very affordable. When he was done he checked all the connections and cleaned up.
Very nice guy also helped me out on installing my dryer.
Awesome guy. good luck to him.
