Plumbing Services in Oakland & the East Bay

From clogged drains to full sewer line replacements, Nexora’s licensed plumbers handle it all for homes and businesses across Alameda, Contra Costa, and Solano Counties - often the same day.

What We Do

Our Plumbing Services

Nexora Plumbing is a licensed, family-operated plumbing company serving homeowners, landlords, and businesses in Oakland and across the East Bay. Whether it’s a kitchen sink that won’t drain in Berkeley, a sewer backup at a rental in Richmond, or a water heater that quit on a Saturday in Walnut Creek, our plumbers show up with the tools and parts to fix most problems in a single visit. Every job starts with a free on-site estimate and a written flat-rate price, so you know the full cost before any work begins - no appointment fee and no surprise charges.

Slow sinks, gurgling tubs, and toilets that keep backing up are usually caused by grease, hair, soap buildup, or tree roots. We clear kitchen, bathroom, laundry, floor drain, and main line clogs with professional drain machines, and we can run a camera through the line to find out why the clog keeps coming back. Same-day drain cleaning is available across Oakland and the East Bay.

When snaking only punches a hole through a blockage, hydro jetting scours the entire inside of the pipe with high-pressure water. It removes years of grease, scale, and root growth from kitchen lines, main sewer lines, and commercial drains - a strong fit for restaurants, apartment buildings, and older East Bay homes with recurring backups. We inspect the line with a camera first to make sure jetting is safe for your pipes.

Cracked clay pipe, root intrusion, and sagging sections are common in older homes in Oakland, Berkeley, and El Cerrito. We start with a sewer camera inspection, show you the footage, and walk you through your options - from a spot repair to a full lateral replacement, including trenchless methods when the property allows. Selling or remodeling a home? We can help you with East Bay sewer lateral compliance.

A water bill that suddenly jumps, a warm spot on the floor, or the sound of running water when every fixture is off can all point to a hidden leak. We use electronic leak detection equipment to pinpoint leaks inside walls, under concrete slabs, and in underground supply lines, so we only open what needs to be opened. We can also provide documentation to support your insurance claim.

No hot water, a leaking tank, or a pilot light that won’t stay lit? We repair and replace gas, electric, hybrid, and heat pump water heaters, installed to code with proper venting, seismic strapping, and permits. New Bay Area emissions rules take effect January 1, 2027 for most new residential gas tank water heaters, so if your unit is getting older, now is a good time to plan your next replacement.

Tankless water heaters deliver continuous hot water and free up space in a garage or closet. We install, repair, descale, and maintain tankless units, and before recommending one we check your gas line size, venting, and electrical to make sure the system will perform the way it should. Ask us how the Bay Area’s changing water heater rules affect the options available for your home.

From dripping faucets and running toilets to fixture installation, repiping, and gas line work, we handle everyday repairs and larger plumbing projects for East Bay homeowners. You’ll get a clear explanation of what’s wrong, a written flat-rate price, and a plumber who respects your home and your time.

We keep restaurants, offices, retail stores, and multi-unit buildings running with drain and sewer service, grease trap maintenance, backflow prevention and testing, water heater service, and tenant-unit repairs. Property managers get written estimates, clear communication, and scheduling designed to keep downtime for tenants and customers to a minimum.

Local Plumbing Rules East Bay Homeowners Should Know

Private sewer lateral requirements

If your property is in Oakland, Emeryville, Piedmont, El Cerrito, Kensington, or the Richmond Annex, the East Bay Regional Private Sewer Lateral program may require a compliance certificate when you sell your home, complete a major remodel, or change your water meter size. Berkeley runs its own sewer lateral program with separate rules. Our plumbers can camera-inspect your lateral, explain what the footage shows, and recommend the most cost-effective path to compliance. For the latest requirements, check with EBMUD at eastbaypsl.com.

The 2027 Bay Area water heater rule

Starting January 1, 2027, Bay Area Air Quality Management District rules require most new residential gas tank water heaters (under 75,000 BTU/hr) sold or installed in the region to meet a zero-NOx standard, which usually means switching to a heat pump water heater. Larger units, including most gas tankless models, have later compliance dates. You don’t have to remove a working water heater - but if yours is more than 8–10 years old, planning ahead helps you avoid an emergency replacement and gives time for any electrical work a heat pump may need. Confirm current details with BAAQMD.

Upfront, Flat-Rate Plumbing Prices

We don’t charge by the hour and we don’t charge to come out. A licensed plumber visits your home or business, diagnoses the problem, and gives you a written flat-rate price before any work starts. If you approve it, that’s the price you pay - even if the job takes longer than expected. If you decide not to move forward, you owe nothing. Military members, veterans, and seniors get 10% off every service, and first-time customers can save with our current coupons.
