Plumbing Repair
Our plumbing repair service addresses leaks, pipe bursts, and system malfunctions with precision. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we identify root causes and implement durable fixes. Commercial and residential clients benefit from same-day emergency service and warranties on all workmanship.
Drain Cleaning
We specialize in clearing clogged drains using hydro-jetting and motorized augers. Our technicians remove debris buildup from kitchen, bathroom, and sewer lines to restore flow and prevent recurring issues. Regular maintenance plans reduce future blockages.
Sewer Installation
From trenchless pipe lining to traditional excavation, we install durable sewer lines using code-compliant materials. Our process includes site assessment, permit handling, and pressure testing to ensure long-term functionality for residential and commercial properties.
Water Heater Repair
We service all water heater types, including tankless and traditional models. Common repairs include fixing leaks, replacing heating elements, and flushing sediment buildup. Emergency service restores hot water access within hours of your call.
Leak Detection
Using acoustic listening devices and thermal imaging, we locate hidden leaks in walls and foundations. Our non-invasive methods minimize property damage during repairs, and we provide moisture testing to confirm complete resolution.

VERY impressed! Firstly because they actually answered the phone when most other businesses used answering machines and websites. Then they offered me a same day appointment without my having to ask. And the serviceman did great work and very quickly. The price of the service was lower than what an UNLICENSED plumber quoted me. Very good service.

We discovered a leak in our bathroom last week that was flooding the room. I did a quick search for plumbers in the east bay. We are in Alameda. They were quick, easy, safe and friendly. They were able to see me same day, within a few hours. The price for the work was reasonable and we would certainly be calling this team again. Highly recommend!

Report
H and R Plumbing & Rooter provided professional, totally hassle-free plumbing service for us. The plumber was very understanding in getting us the most appropriate appointment. Our kitchen sink drain was blocked and the garbage disposal stopped working. The plumber explained to us what caused the problem and finished the work on time.
