Vincent and his team were super responsive and came out to do a sewer lateral inspection for me. He could always be reached and responded to all of my questions. He's fast, reliable and professional. He even helped me contact the city of Berkeley for the certificate! Thank you Vincent!

I got an email from this company that they are offering a free sewer lateral inspection and estimate repairs for listings. We scheduled an inspection that was supposedly conducted the next morning. Day later we emailed them to ask if the inspection is ready and they told us ""they are not bidding on the project"". We lost time and now need to find and schedule someone new.
VERY unprofessional.

Vincent and his team came to my house first, did an evaluation of what needed to be done and gave me a quote. He went through it and explained everything that I would be paying for. When they came out to actually do the work they worked all day and kept us updated on the progress. All of it was finished in 2 day. I would highly recommend the services they offer.

I recently bought a home in Castro Valley and needed to have a sewer inspection done to confirm an issue that was found on the home inspection report. I called Sewer Master and Vincent showed up the next day on time ready to work. He inspected the sewer and discover that the previous inspection was not done correctly. Because Vincent did the job correctly he saved me 8000 dollars in unnecessary repairs and fees to the city. If you need to have an inspection done call Vincent.

Vincent Gaines owner of Sewer Master is outstanding. He is timely and thorough. Vincent inspected a home for free that we had listed. He noticed previous work and was able to ascertain an existing sewer lateral certificate that had not yet expired. I highly recommend Vincent for any plumbing and sewer needs.

I highly recommend ""The Sewer Master"" -owner Vincent Gaines. He inspected a home we are going to list for our client. He was the only company that inspected the sewer for Free. Everyone else was charging my clients. Vincent scheduled an appointment with me and was able to inspect the sewer without me being present. He video the sewer and it was clean. He did some research for us and found out the existing sewer exemption certificate was already in the EBMUD system.
Thank you so much for being so honest and helpful Vincent.

My client really appreciated it and so do I!

I highly recommend using Sewer Master

Mr Gaines investigated my sewer/plumbing issues recently. I was prepared to spend as much as $10,000 for services rendered. I was pleasantly surprised that his focus was on solving my problem not so interested in providing estimate or quote. In fact the solution may not involve me using his services and cost me less the $10,000 I had budgeted. That is what I call customer service with integrity!!! I would recommend Mr Gaines to anyone and will call again if I have similar issues.

Blessed to be a first-time homebuyer of a cute California bungalow, which of course, meant a very old sewer lateral that needed to be replaced.

Got 4 bids, Sewer Master's came up the best so decided to go with them. Paid the $500 deposit, work was scheduled in ~2 weeks, with work completed in one day. Very straightforward, received the EBMUD compliance, everything seems A-OK. No hidden fees from the estimate, paid online by credit card, and happy to have one less homeowner project to worry about. Thanks Sewer Master!

vincent is first class! he revised our estimate LOWER for the sidewalk compliance certification law for the city of oakland and he completed the inspection FOR FREE both times!

hes an honest, hardworking, straightforward guy and will tell you like it is and not overcharge for work. they dont make them like vincent / sewer master anymore. i would highly recommend his work for any plumbing / sewer work needs you have. i cant believe that he has anything BUT 5 star reviews. his professionalism is matched only by his likability. he personally answers most of the time i call and he knows the business like the back of his hand. theres no one i would trust more to recommend for any of your sewer lateral / plumbing needs.

sewer master / vincent rock!
