Alansi’s Plumbing

*5* stars for their work and competency.
Less *3* stars for Communication and Quality Control.
After replacing our booster pumps they forgot to open one valve completely. For a *MONTH* we experienced a hot water delay 5 to 10 minutes. It was really hard to get help and get a hold of anyone to get back and rectify the situation. Yehia blamed to someone else probably doing some plumbing work. Never taking a responsibility on its own.
Unless the quality of service won’t improve, we’ll be looking for plumbing vendor elsewhere.
==================================================================
Update: after writing this review the plumber called me and was very hostile and upset, and still not taking responsibility for hot water delay. And continue to accuse the owners with tampering with plumbing equipment that caused hot water issues.

We have just had such a nice experience with Yehia Alansi, and the person helping him, the toilet was replaced, perfect job, wonderful attitude and great price, all the calls we had prior to the job were on time and the job has been done to perfection, very glad i picked these guys to help with our problem :)

I was having a problem with the sewer backing up next to the house, and was calling around to different plumbers. Got a fast call back from this firm and made a appointment.
They arrived first thing, and had the job done within an hr.
They told me the problem (tree roots) and gave me some hints on how to avoid future problems (don’t flush dental floss!).
BTW this was 3 years ago and, I have had no problems since.

I had a small piece on my bathroom sink faucet that needed replacement, and Maurl came out to look at it. They charged me $ 127 just to come look at the bathroom and check it out. Then Maurl took me to the store where we ordered the new part, which should have arrived within a few weeks. The part arrived 5 weeks later and was the wrong part, so he had to order a new part which would take another 5 weeks. When I called back after this second 5 weeks, I got an automated response from Maurl that he was out of the country for a month! What? So then I had to call the main line and tell them my story, and of course no one knew what was going on because apparently they don’t keep paperwork on orders and details of each job. So I have to call back a bunch of times to re-​explain my situation, and eventually had to just wait till Maurl came back and fixed this… almost 3 months after that fact! NOT A GOOD SITUATION. Luckily the office understood that this was complete bullshit because they gave me half off the maintenance, though the job still cost me over $ 200…

After reading all the great reviews I decided to hire this plumber for resetting a wobbly toilet with a new wax ring. First of all, they were almost 30 minutes late, past their appointment window of 8−9am. Shortly after the plumber departed, I noticed a leak coming from the toilet tank. I called the company and requested that the plumber return to fix it, as it was certainly a direct result of the plumber moving the toilet during the course of his work. The plumber said that he could not return because he had other appts out of the area. THEN, HE TOLD ME THAT THERE WOULD BE AN ADDITIONAL CHARGE FOR COMING BACK TO REPAIR A PROBLEM THAT HE CREATED! When I told him I was reluctant to pay additional money for the obvious reasons, he proceeded to insult my integrity and principles AND told me to find another plumber to finish the job!
A very frustrating and disappointing experience. BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY!

We had a great experience with this plumbing company. I called on a Saturday evening, after 7 p.m., after trying other plumbers. The plumber (Mauro) came out, took care of the sewage line problem, and helped us figure out what to do, as in call the city to come out and clear the main line. I do not know much about plumbing and we got good, reasonable, prompt service without getting taken for a ride. I am so happy with this company and the great service.

I had clogged our kitchen sink with lots n lots of food :(and so I called the company and they sent out Mauro to come in and snake the drains out for me! He was fast and out of here in no time! Thanks :)

We had a clog in our mainline and Mauro came out and fixed in 5 minutes. They were here in less than an hour. He was very clean, polite and told us what clogged up our drain. Great price too. Thanks for you help and we will be calling you again in the future for any plumbing needs.

Mauro was great! He cleared my main sewer line in record time and at a great price. He even fixed another leak at no extra cost. Highly recommended.

My sewer backed up (of course) on memorial day weekend. I Unilocaled and found this company, and wow! I called them, the operator told me she would check and get back to me in 3 minutes with an estimated time. I thought I heard 3 but figured she must have said 30, because what plumbing company calls back in 3 minutes?! She did, a plumber arrived in less than an hour, he did a great job, and charged me $ 80 less than a previous plumber did for a week night. Not only that, he was very nice and very handsome, cleanly attired and cleaned up the entire mess. I will always use this company.

So, I woke up on a Saturday morning, looking forward to a 40 mile bike ride through the east bay hills. I quickly got ready, grabbed my water bottles, Cliff bars, and headed down to the garage to get my bike. I opened the storage room where we keep the bikes and WHAM! The stench was revolting. That’s all I’m gonna say.
I called Alansi’s based on the two reviews here (at the time), and they quoted me a window of 1 – 3, but an hour later, they called, and by 11:30, Mauro was here. I showed him the problem, and he was able to snake the drain in no time, and recommended a simple above-​ground plumbing change that would make future clean outs better and easier. He was clean, efficient and far better than many of the other rooter-​type companies I’ve used in the past. I recommend them without hesitation.

Mauro came out and did a great job clearing out the main line from the house. I went down the list on Unilocal,leaving messages with all the plumbers in the El Cerrito area, and before anyone else even returned my call, Alansi’s had the job done with a positive attitude.
And the work is guaranteed for two months.

We had a clog in our main line that caused the toilets to back up and bathtubs to fill. We went through dozens of contacts and the one person that could come out wanted to charge $ 250. Yikes! I looked up plumbers on Unilocal and Alansi’s listing came up. I called and Yahisi (sp, sorry!) answered on the 2^nd ring and told me that he had someone in the area and they could be there and do the job for $ 105. That price was based on a Sunday or it would have been $ 85. Far more reasonable than $ 250, don’t you think? He told me exactly how long the job would take and Mauro called within 10 minutes and showed up within 20. An hour later, clog was cleared and back to laundry for me! He was quite knowledgeable, gave me a two month guarantee and told me to call right away if any future problems arose.
Very professional, courteous and reasonable pricing. My plumbers for the future. Outstanding service!
