My home's storage type water heater broke over a holiday weekend and I reached out to BigBear Plumbing for options. Gabriel responded immediately, came by to try options to fix it, identified the cost & delays involved in ordering parts to attempt a fix. After discussions, he suggested we get a tankless model which we had been considering, and helped identify what was needed. Gabriel did an excellent job helping us purchase and install such a model, and I recommend his services as a reliable plumber

Without a doubt, the best plumber in the Bay Area. Just two hours after discovering my bathroom had flooded, Gabriel arrived and quickly resolved the issue. He worked with impressive efficiency and used his camera to show and explain the problem at every step. Gabriel walked me through the entire process, ensuring I understood what was happening as he fixed the issue. Hes a dependable and trustworthy professional, and I cant recommend Bigbear Plumbing enough!

Awesome person, friendly and helpful, as well as knowledgeable. Assisted us with our tankless water heater service and our issue with losing hot water and was able to resolve our problem at a fair price. He will be our plumber going forward and offered tips on how to make our system last longer too.

Gabriel is a vendor for our property management company and was called to inspect our water heater. He quickly identified that carbon monoxide was leaking from exhaust outlet and that unit needed immediate replacement and repair. Once given the green light, he came the very next day to fix issues identified. He was efficient, communicative and professional throughout the whole process. Thank you Gabriel!

The best plumber we could find! We had several plumbers come out to our Business to unclog a pipe however we either had plumbers who could not perform the job or extremely high quotes ! We were referred by a friend to Big bear & the issue was fixed within 24 hours of calling ! Fast, professional and job well done! I will remain a loyal customer thank you !

While waiting for others to respond to my initial calls, Gabriel did so within an hour. From the start it was clear that I was not the first he had come to the aid of with a busted water heater. He was knowledgeable, experienced and informative and gave me good advice on a good quality water heater replacement.
He arrived the same day at the time he said he would, after picking up my water heater from a local retailer. His work with an apprentice was timely, quick and thorough.
Gabriel is a licensed professional and an amiable fellow who was easy to talk to (bi-lingual). The installation was well worth the price.
