Controlled Plumbing & Heating - Oakland's Trusted Plumbing Company

Our comprehensive plumbing inspection includes checking your sump pump system, basin, and discharge line—common points of failure in our area. We test the pump's operation, look for clogs or improper installation that can lead to basement flooding during Oakland's heavy storms. Catching issues early with an inspection is the best way to avoid costly water damage repairs.

The most frequent cause we see is improper items like fruit pits, potato peels, or excessive grease being put down the disposal. Our repair service quickly clears the jam, checks the blades and motor, and provides straightforward advice on what to avoid putting in your disposal to prevent future problems and keep your Oakland kitchen running smoothly.

Yes, knocking or banging pipes (water hammer) is common in older Oakland properties and often indicates loose pipes, high water pressure, or faulty valves. Our water pipe repair service diagnoses the specific cause—frequently related to aging infrastructure—and secures pipes or installs pressure regulators to eliminate the noise and protect your plumbing from stress and potential leaks.
