About Big Smile Plumbing in Oakland, CA

Oakland homes often face tough clogs from grease in kitchen drains and backups during heavy rains. We use professional-grade hydro jetting to thoroughly clear built-up grease without damaging pipes. For storm-related sewer backups, we perform camera inspections to identify the issue—whether it's a root intrusion or a line collapse—and offer trenchless repair options to minimize disruption to your yard and Oakland's older infrastructure.

Our comprehensive plumbing inspection uses video camera technology to assess the condition of your pipes, drains, and sewer lines from the inside. We recommend an inspection if you're buying an older Oakland home, noticing frequent slow drains, or planning a renovation. It helps us catch small problems like hairline cracks or root growth before they turn into major emergencies or costly repairs.

Yes, transparent pricing is a core part of our service. When you call for a 24/7 emergency, our dispatcher will gather details about the issue. The technician who arrives will provide a clear, upfront estimate for the necessary repairs—such as fixing a burst water pipe or addressing a sewage backup—before any work begins. There are no hidden fees, so you can make an informed decision even during a stressful situation.
