We understand there are many plumbers out there to choose from when the need arises. We built our reputation one customer and one repair or installation at a time and are very proud of our body of work. We've been doing this for over 30 years and during that time, we've run inot almost every possible situation that exists.
Hot water is too important to do without. Luckily, we make repair or replacement as convenient as possible for customers by removing the old water heater from the property and picking up the new water heater at any store location. Water heaters have a life span of 8-10 years. We also install Tankless Water Heaters, also known as demand-type or instantaneous water heaters, which provide hot water only as it is needed.
Faucets, sinks, showers, and tubs are used multiple times each day. Because these items get used frequently within the home, it is incredibly important for them to be working properly at all times. If you are experiencing any issues concerning your sinks, faucets, or fixtures, please consider giving us a call.

We hired Tom Martin Plumbing to do a sewer lateral repair after we bought a duplex in Oakland, a pretty common thing as I understand and has to be done within 6 months of purchase. They came out as expected and replaced the sewer lateral and got the certification from the city after they put the camera down the sewer to make sure it was all connected. What we didn't realize at the time is that they just connected the toilet outlet to the new sewer lateral. Our kitchen sink and bathtub were not connected to anything after they were done and were just leaking straight into the ground next to

We first met Tom and his crew when purchased a home in Alameda in January 2017. Tom's crew installed our earthquake valve quickly and efficiently in January. We had to do the Private Sewer Lateral, and for that we were using a different service (specializing only in PSL). That firm wasn't able to complete our job due to special soil conditions - Tom Martin stepped up and stepped in to complete the job for a fair price, and quickly. While doing this job, we asked him to bid on our plumbing work for a remodel, he gave us a bid and a suggestion we replace our water lines. When we wanted

Amazing service for sewer lateral and pipe repairs!!
My husband and I moved in to the neighborhood last October and were told we needed to get our sewer lateral done by April. Finding a good company at a good price was becoming dreadful (at least it had been for us). We had seven different estimates, and were given outrageous quotes, even 2 realtors who we had been working with in the East Bay were shocked at the quotes being given.
Then I was referred to Tom Martins of Tom Martins plumbing. He is very old-school in his professional demeanor, and very genuine. He is prompt in returning calls and

Horrible experiences with Tom Martin and his crew.
Do NOT hire him unless you want only headaches.
(NOTE: This appears to be a 2nd YELP account for plumber Tom Martin. I'm posting this review of my awful experience with him on both accounts.
This one of course has the word spelled "PLUMBLING" in the title, instead of "plumbing" which is ironically another example of his lack of attention to detail!) :(
I don't have time to detail all the awful experiences I had with them over the last several days, but the straw that broke the camel's back was Tom telling me

Phew, what a crazy day, and I am so thankful for Tom Martin Plumbing. I had a gas smell coming out of my oven, so I immediately called PG&E. Turns out there was a leak on my appliance valve and I had to have all the gas to my house shut off, get it fixed, and then have PG&E come back out to turn it back on. I called around and no one could come out immediately. Finally I called Tom Martin Plumbing and they were here within 30 minutes. Travis was friendly and professional and fixed the valve within the hour. PG&E came back and turned on the gas and everything is fixed. Thank you Tom

I got the impression they don't write down phone messages. I had to explain who I was and where I lived three times. I called during the window I was given just to confirm I should wait, that someone was coming. Without any investigating I was told "don't worry they're on the way". They weren't on the way. We took off time and no one ever came. Maybe they do fine work, I'll never know. 2 stars because at least they're cordial on the phone but c'mon...

Tom Martin and his team are the best plumbers you will ever meet. Serving most of the bay area, I had them come to my rental house in Piedmont which is over 100 years old and has had numerous re models, leaving the plumbing a mish mash of copper and galvanized. Tom and his crew spent over two weeks working on my mess of plumbing issues, and no matter the challenge, they found a way to make it work. This was no easy job, over 300 feet of copper was installed in my house removing all the old galvanized, along with two new sewer laterals and the water service. Despite being a near impossible challenge

We had a very fussy main drain junction that several plumbers tried to cure but never really resolved. TA Roberts Plumbing came out to fix a sink drain and recommended Tom Martin for the larger job of dealing with the main sewer line. Tom's team arrived on time and Allen and Dave got right to work on snaking out the drain. They followed up with a camera inspection and found additional trouble. Tom came out to confer with them and they used a jetting tool to fully clean and clear the pipe all the way to the main line at the street. It was a back breaking all day job for them but they went
