Company Overview

We focus on sewer line replacements, which are among the most challenging tasks in the industry. We also provide video inspections of your sewer line. Think of it as a colonoscopy for your home's drainage system. We record the inspection on a DVD for your records or to assist with home inspections.

Our plumbing services cover a wide range of needs. We can assist with backups, minor clogs, water heater replacements, or transitioning to a tankless system. No task is too small or too large for our team. We undertake new builds, remodels, and tailored projects for residential and commercial buildings.

Raul, our owner, has over 20 years of experience and has been providing services across the East Bay for 7 years. He has earned the title of ""preferred plumber"" from the City of Richmond, aiding homeowners in their rehabilitation efforts. Raul is proud that his dedication to customer service and quality work has earned him a respected position in the areas he operates.

Raul immigrated to the U.S. from El Salvador in '89 with his wife and three children. He had to leave behind his plaster figurine business due to the civil unrest and economic challenges. Fortunately, upon arriving in the U.S., he ventured into construction and plumbing, which became his lifelong career.

His focus on customer satisfaction has been the bedrock of his business. However, he worked for various plumbing companies that offered little opportunity for professional advancement. Thus, his enthusiasm had to wait until he made the decision to go into business for himself again a few years ago. Raul has made significant progress in navigating the language barrier and is now successfully growing his business.

Toto's is great. We just bought a house and had to take on the EBMUD sewer lateral replacement for a lot of cash.

Toto's team was professional, honest, fast, clean, and smart. They charged what they estimated.

When they say trenchless they mean it. They were able to replace 6 separate sewer joints, some janky duct-taped connections without tearing up our entire yard. They show up with everything they need to get it done, both manpower and tools.

They only took four days to complete the work. Our plumbing worked every night when we got home and we got our EBMUD certificate 6 days after they started.

A great East Bay team.

Sewer lateral blew on Sunday eve. Called Raul Monday morning first thing (before operating hours) and he returned the call within minutes and was at my house within the hour.
He did all the investigative work with me at his side, explaining every step thoroughly. As suspected, the line needed to be replaced and quick because I had renters showing up in two days. Raul was kind enough to drop everything and get to work immediately. Everything went according to plan. I was amazed at the speed and efficiency at which he and his crew work.
And the best part is that they didn't even leave a trace!!!
I can't say enough about the experience. It was actually better than 5 star because he went so far above and beyond on so many levels.
The only thing I want to call out is that he does have a strong accent and a bit difficult to understand on the phone but don't let that get in the way. Just give him your address and meet him in person to discuss the details and everything will fall into place. His son, Raul Jr. is working there as well, managing the crew etc. Very nice and capable like his father with excellent communication skills.

We recently had 371 ft of new sewer line replaced by Totos plumbing. Raul Sr., his son and crew did a very efficient job. They ran into several unexpected problems in the course of the work which added at least an extra day and a half to their workload. There were no complaints they just kept at until the work was done. Oh yes the price. I received 4 estimates and Raul's bid was the cheapest by far. One bid was nearly twice his. If you want a good job at the right price, call Totos.

Toto's replaced our sewer lateral. They did a good job. The price was competitive. They were flexible and easy to work with when we had to change the schedule because of a family emergency.

Replacing the sewer lateral was not something I was excited about. When I couldn't put it off any longer, my regular plumber suggested I call Toto's. Raul is a great guy. He's very low key, very professional. He gave me a solid price, not a price that ""might change"" depending on what happened once he got going. His team, which included is son, was great. Once I saw how involved the trenchless replacement became, I was really happy that I hired them instead of one of those ""emergency"" plumbing outfits. Toto's is an excellent company.

Our sewer lateral is a unusual situation, its at the rear of the house, 10 feet deep and under 2 very large trees! Other companies weren't even interested in my business when they saw how challenging it was going to be. Raul and his crew did a great job at a great price.

I hired him to replace another sewer line for a kitchen and bathroom. Again, great job and great price. My only complaint is that they show-up without letting me know ahead of time. A text or phone call heads up would have been nice. But quality of work was great.

Honest guy, he did sewer lateral inspection for client, he found out the sewer lateral was good, client saved money and he does give good solid advice without trying to charge you for everything, good guy and his crew is very friendly. Good company I've used often for my real estate clients.

We had just bought a house in Berkeley and needed a sewer lateral done. Raul and his crew were always on time to give the estimate, start the job and complete. We received our city certification, hand delivered by Raul on a Sunday afternoon. Whenever we have future plumbing needs, I'll keep Raul on the call list for estimates.

Do not trust this man! He told me I needed a sewer lateral that I did not need. He started the work and a city inspector saw that the concrete was broken. He said that there was no permit pulled to do work there. He also said that I should check with the Water Board to see if the sewer lateral was bad. I did so and the man at the Water Board said it was fine based on the video he was presented with. The concrete was filled in and I was refunded my money.

Raul and his gang did an impressive job replacing my sewer lateral. He was thorough in describing what he could and would do, perfectly punctual, extremely hard-working, and accommodating to my schedule. He was also highly responsive to my additional requests to fix some tilted concrete lifted by the ""trenchless"" wrenching of new pipe through the route of old. What could have been a very stressful experience was instead a relief. Thanks Raul!
