We Can Do It Plumbing

Carbo was timely, responsive, and an excellent communicator. Not surprised, with as good as they are, that they were booked a week out. Still, finding a time for them to come do the job was painless and fast.

On site they were patient, curious, and fair. They stand by their work and I'm thrilled to be working with them on whatever other plumbing needs arrive at our restaurant.

Carbo is the best! They explain everything they're doing, why things need to be a certain way, and why things cost what they cost. I know so much more about plumbing now and I can make more informed decisions. Of all the contractors I've ever worked with, Carbo has been the best both in terms of quality of work and communication.

Carbo doesn't stop until it's fixed and fixed right. They are the best one to call when you need a real pro.

Carbo was great. Efficient and a good communicator. We had a handful of plumbing issues that Carbo knocked out in a day of work. We had an annoying water hammer, some flow issues, some noisy pipes, and our garbage disposal was stinky. They listened carefully to our concerns and walked the whole house with us to understand the issues. They were upfront about what the work would look like and how much it would cost. They did a great job fixing it all. Our water heater is on it's last leg and when it finally dies we'll definitely be using Carbo's services again! I would use them for any plumbing project big or small.

I used them to fix my furnace vent and Carbo really went above and beyond to not only do their primary job but to actually get my heat working before they left. Great work, great attitude, excellent communication and an altogether pleasant experience for something I had to get done. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

Submitting another review for We Can Do It Plumbing and Carbo because I've used their services for THREE more jobs since my first review about a month ago. Two of these jobs were planned (installing a washer-dryer unit in our in-law unit and snaking our bathroom sink) and one was unplanned (found a significant leak in one of our sewer pipes) and had to get it fixed ASAP.

With this review I'll talk mostly about the third, unplanned job. Carbo was able to come out, diagnose the problem, and fix the issue all in a very timely manner. (I'm glad I had already worked with Carbo and knew who to call when we discovered the issue). We ended up having to replace a decent amount of that sewer pipe (going from below our main bathroom toilet, into our crawlspace, and back out the side of our house) with new ABS pipe. I was particularly impressed with how Carbo was able to maneuver and get the job done because most of the area in question was in our crawlspace and other hard-to-reach areas. I always thought our crawlspace was gnarly but Carbo informed me they've seen much worse. Throughout, Carbo was very communicative about the whole process and also very non-intrusive on our house as we went on with our day. Our dog has become very good friends with Carbo! Carbo even followed up to make sure the job was stable and that there were no additional issues.

Everything about We Can Do It Plumbing from my first review still stands so please refer to that one for my additional thoughts. Quality work at very reasonable prices. I am glad my wife and I have found our go-to-plumber in Oakland!

Carbo was awesome. Based on my description of what was happening, they estimated it would be a half-day project, tearing some holes and replacing burst pipes. But when they arrived, they ran a couple of diagnostics that showed the real cause was a 15 minute fix! Their honesty and depth of knowledge saved me literally hundreds of dollars. I was so impressed by their work that I had them come back a few days later to work on two other nagging problems.

Extremely prompt, knowledgeable, kind, and friendly.

Hooray! I have a plumber! They were recommended to me by another plumber. I texted Carbo, they came out the first day that worked with my schedule. They fixed what needed fixing and explained a bunch of stuff/options to me in regards to future work. A+++. Absolutely recommend!

We had a clogged and leaking sink. I was able to get an accurate quote through photos/video in advance, Carbo showed up right on time and when she had to get a part, she got an extra one for the other side that would eventually wear out and showed me how to do it myself! So refreshing, as a woman, not to worry I was getting scammed by a service provider and to feel empowered to do something myself if I chose to. Highly recommend!

Carbo has helped us out with a number of sump pump issues in our basement (winter 2022-23 has been soggy as heck). They are extremely responsive and very easy to schedule with. Once on site, Carbo worked hard to help diagnose our issues and offered multiple options at different price points for moving forward. They are extremely knowledgeable and generous with their time and information. In addition to the specific sump pump issues they were at our place to correct, Carbo answered all my questions and offered information and advice on other plumbing related stuff in our house. I am extremely grateful to have found Carbo and can't recommend them enough!
