RVO Rooter & Plumbing

Pete N.

I had a clogged sewer line at my rental property in Pinole. I asked around and was
referred to RVO by a local property manager. Roberto came to the home at 11 a.m.
and ran a camera through the line. He located the blockage and we came up with
a plan for a proper repair. Replaced a section of the clogged line and added a new
two-way clean out for future use. Work was completed on same day at 4:30 p.m.
Prompt, professional and fair price for the amount of work required. I will use RVO
for all future plumbing issues at my home or rental properties.

My bathroom sink has been clogged for months. I tried a few ""environmentally friendly"" products to unclogged it but apparently a bunch of hair was trapped in the sanitary t-bar and wouldn't go beyond. On the recommendation of my neighbor, I called RVO and spoke with Roberto. This was in the early afternoon on Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. He said he could send someone within the hour. Sure enough, a very friendly guy named Phil showed up. He took a look and said ""let me get my snake""! Within mere seconds Phil had the sink uncloggedI He then tightened all the pipe joints checking to ensure there was no seepage of water, wiped down the sink and said ""you're good to go""! I am extremely happy to have my sink finally unclogged and by such a friendly, efficient plumber at that! I would highly recommend RVO Plumbing to all!

We needed a seismic shutoff on our gas line and a gas hookup for our dryer. RVO took care of both quickly, and they were very professional and friendly. I would definitely contact them again for any future plumbing issues.

I myself, and several other people I know, have used RVO for many years now. I am a real estate professional in the East Bay area. As an agent, we have to work with plumbers often, due to certain required ordinances. Through the years of working with Roberto, and the rest of RVO, I have never had any issues nor have any of the agents that I know who use RVO, as well.

The service has always been done properly, quickly, and at a great price. I always recommend RVO to anyone who asks me about plumbing services. They are the only company I use.

Excellent Service!!!! They fixed my bathtub leak even fixed my toilet that was broken too! If you have an emergency plumbing issue these are definitely the guys to call! They also aren't too expensive either.

Needed Roberto again today 1/28/2012. He was there within an hour and I received the same great service. He also did not leave any signs he was there. Great job, 2 for 2. Thanks Roberto.




I called Roberto on a Sunday morning and he arrived within an hour. He quoted me a price over the phone and when he was done the price was the same. That doesn't always happen when you are dealing with plumbing. He was very friendly and worked fast. I would call him again.

Roberto is a bad business person. He just hung up on me because I asked him to honor his guarantee that our lines would be clear after spending $7k on a lateral replacement. When they replaced our sewer lateral, I had asked him to inspect our shower and bath drains. Instead of doing this for us, he promised that if we ever had problems, he would take care of it for no cost. The reason for this is that he was sure our problem was only with our lateral.

Unfortunately, he is not honoring this offer. I guess I should have known better, but his employees have been so friendly. Ernesto needs to go into business for himself, because the owner of RVO is just bad news. He does not line-item his bids, and when he finds out that the scope of work was cheaper and easier to fix, he did not offer any discount, of course not.

Instead, he offered me a BS line about taking care of his customers. I shook his hand and figured that we were valued customers. I think that anyone considering RVO for any major service should try another company that is more professional in their demeanor and contracts. I recommended him to another neighbor who is an experienced contractor, and he felt that his bid was totally outrageous.

It was too late for us, and we must consider our next options because we have not actually fixed anything. Extremely frustrating. Any recommendations in our area are welcome.

When you find a competent, fair and dedicated service provider, you keep them - and you tell your friends. Our bathroom sinks weren't draining well and it had gotten to the point of fixing it. After giving it a shot on my own, unwilling to pay out for a pro, I realized, ""I need a pro."" I called RVO.

Mike was excellent - not only did he spend more time than he'd originally thought, he came back on a Saturday morning with a beast of a machine that he assured me ""gets through anything.""

After a lot of mechanical pounding and what can best be described as ""a ferret and a cobra going at it in the pipes"", he broke through. He replaced the trap, fixed a leak and gave us a the bill - with a discount.

So - great price, great service - and coming out on a rainy Saturday morning with no ""weekend surcharge"" - these guys are keepers.

We're lucky we found them - thanks Yelp!

Roberto did a great job for us. He arrived promptly and took his shoes off (as per our sign at the door) until he had reviewed the situation inside the house. He was careful in bringing his machinery inside and didn't nick any corners, and did his job as cleanly as he could under the circumstances.

I'll definitely call RVO again the next time I need a sewer line unplugged. We talked about other plumbing work and it seems his company offers full plumbing services, but I cna't comment on those since we didn' require them.

Used RVO once to unclog a drain. The experience was very good. They came quickly and fixed the problem.
Recently, I called for an estimate on work but Ruberto didn't show up. I called him again, asked him if he got an estimate for me. He said that he was so busy that he would get right on it, but no estimate was furnished. It has been two days. I guess he was too busy for me.
Good luck.
