Founded in 1990 by Derek, who studied general plumbing, plumbing codes, and pipe sizing at LATTC, the business specializes in water heater installation and repair for both tank and tankless systems.

Questions and Answers
What experience do you have with water heater installation and repair?
With over 30 years in the plumbing industry since 1990, I specialize in both tank and tankless water heater systems. I studied general plumbing and codes at LATTC and started Drummer Plumber specifically to provide ethical, transparent service after working for a company that used commission-based pricing. I handle installation, repair, and maintenance for all types of water heaters, ensuring they meet local code requirements and operate efficiently.
Do you handle common local plumbing issues like dishwasher and laundry hose problems?
Yes, I frequently help El Cerrito residents with dishwasher hose leaks and laundry hose bursts, which are common in our area. These issues often stem from wear, improper installation, or pressure problems. I can inspect, repair, or replace hoses with quality materials that withstand local water conditions, and I'll check related connections to prevent future leaks. Same-day service is often available for these urgent repairs.
What plumbing services do you offer beyond water heaters?
I provide comprehensive plumbing services including faucet installation and repair, garbage disposal work, gas line installation and repair, toilet installation and repair, water pipe installation and repair, and general plumbing installation or replacement. My training at LATTC covered all these areas, and I've been serving the East Bay since 1990 with a focus on reliable, code-compliant work and honest pricing.
