"Kirk was able to correct both of my plumbing issues very quickly...a faucet that had very little water coming out and a slow draining sink. He also checked the water pressure at the front of the house..it is a bit high so we are going to decide the next step on this. I am always pleased at the communication from Valley Plumbing and most of all I am pleased with Kirk's professionalism, courtesy and skill in solving my problems. Highly recommended. I felt the price was fair and appreciated the senior discount."

"Excellent. Two employees did the job. Nice guys. Very polite and they were able to complete a complex job on time. I would definitely hire this company if I ever needed a plumber. The guy who sold us on the job was extremely knowledgeable which is why I selected this company."

"Can not imagine a better response, starting with my call for assistance, response time and how the technician, Tad methodically diagnosed the problem. We have an obscure kitchen fixture that required service in Feb 2019. Under warranty the problem was easily diagnosed by me, a problem possibly caused by me and a replacement part sent and installed by Albert Nahman team. Problem: I broke the faucet cartridge. Current Problem: restricted hot water flow in this kitchen sink only. Turns out the new cartridge part is now malfunctioning. I called and Tad arrived taking a step by step approach ruling out possible causes: a clog here or there, build up of sediment, or blockage in the lines or cartridge. The company that sells the product got on the phone with Tad and they collaborated on the problem and the tech person gave Tad one more thing to try. After the collaboration it is agreed, problem persisted and therefore that new cartridge part is now malfunctioning and will be shipped free of charge in two days. Thanks to all, who made this possible and I trust we will have Tad here again soon to finalize this fix. BTW, cost of service was less than expected given going rates for such a call lasting in excess of one hour. Another comment, spending time with Tad during the repair was a pleasure to have him explain, collaborate, listen and just chat. Questions on who to call next time, no question who I will call next time. I have read criticism of costs: In the Berkeley area "How much does it cost to hire a plumber? Some plumbers have a minimum fee for a service call. They might charge anywhere from $175-250 to come out and give you a consultation. Plumbers may give you a general service rate of $128-148 per hour when there are a lot of unknowns about a project and they aren't sure how long it will take. Some charge a flat rate for their plumbing services. For example, you may get charged $175 for a sink or drain cleaning, while toilet installation costs $500." Today costs are upfront, same as charges in Feb, $69 to arrive and assess the problem. Here in excess of one hour for $129 minus $25 coupon, total charge $173. I am ok and I expected these costs. If I was in Philly, where I grew up, I could call an uncle or cousin and get a better rate, a family rate. This is going rate for our area."

"JPC team did an excellent, professional job on our storm water sump pumps related project. (Two sump pumps were working; they did not need repairs.) 1) Cut and replaced two broken pipes; installed new valves 2) New float sensors installed and set to auto-start the sump pumps 3) long outflow pine, connecting to city's water drainage system, was cleaned using long snake and high pressure water pump combination. 4) successful final test with water filled in water chamber and sump pumps working 5) JPC gave warranty for work done and signed up for once-a-year annual maintenance visit in October."

"The work was performed in a timely manner and very professionally. The follow up visit to check the traps left in the crawl space revealed there was still a problem as one trap had a rodent. The technician Said was very thorough and even lifted a plank on the deck to get to the foundation. There he found three entry points that he plugged up. He was extremely careful and replaced all items back where they were before he started. This work had not been done during the initial visit. I am very pleased with the results of this operation, cleaning, replacing damaged vent tubing and wall insulation. A heat shield was also installed. The company has lived up to its promise."

"The team I worked with at BAU was great. I hired them to repair some minor vertical and horizontal foundation cracks that were found in a recent general home inspection. Everyone who came out was upbeat, professional, punctual, thorough, and highly detailed. Hunter came out first to check the entire foundation and give a free estimate. They then split the work up into two dates, and each crew was great. Michael and James came out first for the initial round, and then Alexander and Gabe came out to wrap up the last few areas. The guys were always on time, which is greatly appreciated. Both repair teams also did their own additional checks of the surrounding areas, also greatly appreciated. They were also able to provide before and after pictures, and were respectful of the property."

"Very well, he came out last Friday, they were on time. Armin Rios was very thorough, very confident and very clean and he replaced the pipe. We hadn't asked for him to replace the pipe, but he said this pipe needs to be replaced he was very efficient. He installed a garbage disposal and a faucet."

"The experience with Justin at Fire & Water Damage Recovery was excellent. They were referred by the plumbing company that serviced my sump pump. We still got 3 estimate, Justin's estimate was in the middle but I felt good with Justin based on our phone conversation and the referral so we went with this company. Justin did tell me that he might have estimated on the high side because he does not like to surprise the homeowners. What a surprise when I go the final invoice. The final invoice came in much lower and was very close or lower than the lowest estimate I got. Justin and his team also took pictures of how the place was before and after for me to see. They even took pictures of the pathway that they took to get to the crawl space to assure me that they kept the place clean when they got in and out. I was very satisified with Justin and his company."

"It ended up all that had to be done was plug in the existing sump pump in the new house we bought, but the service person was very nice and professional, and we weren't charge for the visit. They could have told us it wasn't working and we needed a whole new system, if they were dishonest. I can't speak to their actual installation, since we were lucky enough to not need it, but if we did need a new system I would certainly have them back."

"Few week ago I realized that I have a hot water leak somewhere in the lines because the water was not getting as hot as it use to, the main burner of the water heater was running all the time and water meter needle kept spinning even if all the taps in the house were closed. And finally high PGand E bill showed up for excessive gas utilization. I was worried how to find the leak since there was no seepage or dampness visible anywhere in the house. I called around several plumbers to get an idea what to do. They all told me that the leak has to detected and pin pointed first before any repair can be done. After talking to 4 different plumbers on the phone I decided to go with Savior Plumbing. I spoke to Tom, owner of the company, and he sent in his manager Darrell to examine the house plumbing and give suggestions and preliminary estimate. Darrell arrived on time and thoroughly examined the problem. Darrell informed me that since my house is on the slab and I have no attic due to vaulted ceilings; re-piping of the hot water line will be very expensive and difficult task. He recommended to pin point the leak and then dig a hole by breaking the concrete and patch the leaky pipe. Darrell recommended Steve from "Independent Leak Detection" to detect and pin point the leak. Steve arrived on time and by utilizing specialized equipment for underground leak detection mapped out all the pipes underneath the slab in my house. He then pin pointed the leak in my atrium, what a luck !!! The leak could have been very well in my bed room or living room. I was relieved immensely that the interior of the house does not have to be dug out. Next, Tom came in to give the estimate and schedule the work. Tom estimated 4 - 5 hours of work including cutting the bricks, breaking the concrete, digging the dirt, patching the pipe and the putting the dirt back in. Next Monday he sent in one of his experienced plumber, Mike. Mike arrived on time and worked with great efficiency. He finished the 4 - 5 hours job in only 2.5 hours and cleaned up all the area after finishing. He also replaced a leaky pipe on water heater. The total cost was $383.49 plus $250.00 for leak detection. The job was done professionally and I am very pleased with Tom and his workers. I now just have to put the new bricks to close the hole; I think I can do that on my own."

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Diablo, CA

Most residential pumps draw approximately 1,300 to 2,900 watts when they first start, then settle at roughly 800 to 1,050 watts during normal operation. The exact number depends on the motor’s horsepower and how often the float switch tells the pump to run. Even at the high end, the electricity cost is minor compared with the expense of cleaning up a flooded basement.

Grab a ruler and an empty 18‑inch‑wide pit. During a steady rain, time how much the water rises in one minute. Multiply that depth (in inches) by 60 to calculate gallons per hour, then add 50% for safety. If the result tops 2,100 gallons per hour—about 35 gallons a minute—you’ll need a 3/4‑horsepower unit. Anything lower, and a 1/3- or 1/2-horsepower pump should do the trick.

Loud rattling, constant cycling, or shuddering vibrations are the pump’s way of telling you it’s on its last legs. Musty smells, higher electric bills, and visible rust are other red flags. If the unit is 10 years old or older and exhibits any of these symptoms, replace it before the next heavy rain turns your basement into a wading pool.

You don’t have to hire a licensed plumber, but you should still bring in someone who installs sump pumps for a living—whether that’s a plumber, basement‑waterproofing specialist, or experienced handyman. They know the local codes, can wire the pump safely, and will test the system before they leave. Skipping professional help might void the warranty and could leave you with a pump that fails when you need it most.

Not every basement needs a pump, but if your home sits in a floodplain, has a high water table, or has ever taken on water during a storm, a sump pump is inexpensive insurance. For basements that only struggle with condensation or the occasional damp spot, sealing cracks and improving drainage may be all that is needed.
