Yes. Magnificent Plumbing & Rooter is a licensed, bonded and insured California plumbing contractor, CSLB License #1129315 — Class B (General Building Contractor). Every job is handled by our trained plumbers.

It depends on your water heater’s age and condition. Most tank water heaters last 8–12 years. If the unit is newer, repairing a faulty thermostat, valve, or burner may be more cost-effective. However, water heater replacement is often the better option if your unit is old, requires frequent repairs, or has a leaking tank. We'll inspect your system and provide pricing for both options.

Yes, we install, repair and replace both tank and tankless water heaters. Tankless units heat water on demand, save space and often last longer, but cost more upfront and may need gas line or venting upgrades. We'll look at your hot water use and current setup, then recommend the right fit.

Yes. Warning signs include a rising water bill, running-water sounds when everything is off, warm spots on the floor, or wet patches in the yard. Our leak detection specialists use specialized equipment to pinpoint the leak, including under concrete slabs, so we only open the spot that needs repair.

Yes, Magnificent Plumbing & Rooter is a licensed, bonded, and insured California plumbing contractor. Our trained plumbers handle every job with care and professionalism, focusing on quality workmanship, reliable service, and customer satisfaction.

Often not. With trenchless sewer repair, we replace a damaged line through small access points, with far less damage to your lawn, driveway and landscaping. A camera inspection shows first whether your line is a good fit for trenchless. We can also take care of the city permits.

You may need a plumber if you notice leaking pipes, low water pressure, slow drains, unusual noises, recurring clogs, or unexplained water bills. Early repairs can prevent water damage and help avoid expensive plumbing problems.

“It’s Called Magnificent for a Reason.”

I’ve used this company for a variety of plumbing jobs, from simple to complex. Most recently they fixed the plumbing and flooring in my bathroom, which had deteriorated due to a leak.

They demolished the tile and subfloor, reinstalled a brand new subfloor, new tile, and new toilet. See the photos. They took care of everything for me.

The workmen were also careful to cover up the flooring in my house, so no damage would occur.

Absolutely delighted with their service. I intend to use this company for many more projects.

These folks are the best. Had a kitchen faucet that was slowly leaking until..it wasn’t. I had ordered a new replacement faucet but the leak wasn’t that bad yet. Well it got worse last night. Called them this AM thinking “oh we can be there after Thanksgiving.” To my pleasant surprise, they had technicians out same day! They arrived on time, were very thorough, communicative and their prices always seem very fair. They did a fantastic job and they are my go to for any plumbing needs.

Came out to do a leak detection test and they were able to locate the leak in the pipe under concrete.
Home builder sent another plumber to fix the issue, and confirmed that the leak was in the exact spot identified by Magnificent’s leak detection specialist.

They were very responsive and were able to quickly send someone out to take a look at a leak in my ceiling. They offered a free inspection which I greatly appreciated. They gave us a fair quote and fixed the problem that day. They were clear and outlined possible scenarios. Would recommend!

Needed a pressure regulator replaced, as our old one was registering greater than 95 pounds. Rene answered the phone on a Saturday. Sent pictures as requested, and was able to provide a quote over the phone. Julio showed up on Monday, and replaced the regulator as well as recommended the valves to be replaced as well. Irrigation valve was leaking as well, which I didn’t notice until Julio pointed it out. Replacement was done at the expected price, and all has been smooth. Thank you for the easy experience. Highly recommended.

I used these guys to install water filters and also address general plumbing issues I had around the house. They were able to do jobs that other companies that quoted me either said they couldn’t do or would do for much more.

Excellent service, high quality work, and value and also very personable and friendly. I would definitely recommend and will use them again.

Magnificent Plumbing is awesome! I am a repeat customer. Just today, I received their help to unclog our main sewer line in our front yard. Earlier this year in Jan, they also fixed a plumbing issue too.

I like them for following reasons:
–Rene and their team are honest
–Reliable
–On time
–Very responsive

Rene is the owner and he’s great. Rest of his team who actually do the plumbing work is great too (like Sergio and Edgar). Frank is excellent too!

Our kitchen sink was backing up and leaking. It was also effecting our laundry room sink. I called to see if someone could come out at around 4pm and they showed up 4:15pm! They were able to identify the problems within a few minutes of being there. Apparently the plumbing company I had used previously 2 years ago when I installed a new garbage disposal didn’t do a great job tightening the brackets and they had all rusted which was causing the leak. The crew also cleaned the clogged drains for me to ensure proper water flow and replaced the bracket on my garbage disposal and tightened all the screws. I also had them look at my toilets and they made some recommendations free of charge on some simple fixes we could do on our own to save us some money. Highly recommend this company!

Rene and his team did entire building water plumbing replacement with copper. They were very professional and had good team to deliver the project on time. They missed one of the connections to be replaced and a quick call to Rene and he scheduled his team to replace with few days. There were 2 buildings and only one building were given to magnificent plumbing and looking back with their work ethics I should’ve give entire project to them.. I will contact them for future project.

This was the 3rd time using Magnificent Plumbing & Rooter and maybe the most impressive work they’ve done for us yet! Using the latest technology, video probs and snakes that grind tree roots to clear the path of our sewer system. Plus they installed a new toilet for us that will definitely help our situation in the future with a much better flush than our out of date old toilet! True professionals in their field! Very impressive, never felt like I was being taken for a ride and then in the end the price charged for the work seems way more than fair!Anyone that needs plumbing I highly recommend Magnificent Plumbing & Rooter!!

The Magnificent team were great. They came out on very short notice to replace our water heater which had failed. They took the time to ask questions, and then quickly got to work. The job was done neatly and they did a great job explaining the new water heater features to me afterward.

Thanks Rene and team for the awesome job in replacing our water softener and tankless water heater. Special thanks to our technician, Edgar, who took the time to trouble-shoot around the house to zero in on the root cause of our water temperature and pressure issues. He was on time and very professional, and I’d highly recommend Magnificent Plumbing and Rooter to anyone looking for these services.

We had a plumbing emergency at our business, and Magnificent Plumbing & Rooter truly lived up to their name! From the moment we called, their communication was top-notch. They arrived promptly, assessed the situation, and quickly fixed our clogged lines.

But it didn’t stop there—when our sprinkler system decided to go on strike, they were more than happy to step in and handle it all. The team’s expertise and dedication were impressive. Our new sprinkler system is a testament to their skill and commitment to quality work.

Magnificent Plumbing & Rooter not only resolved our issues efficiently but also went above and beyond with their exceptional service. We’re grateful for their professionalism and would highly recommend them for any plumbing needs. Thanks for being the superheroes of plumbing!

I found Magnificent Plumbing by carefully reading reviews and requested a quote from them for a guest bath remodel. I was acting as my own general contractor and had already purchased most of the hardware from fixtures to vanity and shower door to toilet. The existing faucet plumbing was to be changed out to accept a double vanity sink and I arranged for them to do the rough-in so that other cosmetic work from sheet rock to baseboards and flooring could proceed. When we were ready for the final installations to go forward I called them back to make a date for the work to be completed.
Firstly, Magnificent got my business because they were willing to install my counter tops and sinks and the other plumber that was in the running didn’t offer that service.
Second, Rene was very good at explaining exactly what each portion of the job would cost and how I would be billed due to the time lag in between the rough-in to the final finishing installations. Their price was very competitive, especially given the extra services rendered. I was warned well ahead of time of potential problem areas that could’ve ended up adding to the total cost such as possible leaks in the drain to tub and shower control valve. There were no surprises!
In every step of this job Magnificent (support staff and plumbers) were professional, prompt to respond to any of my questions, always returned my phone calls and did exactly what was required to finish the job to my exacting standards! They were neat and clean and were respectful of my property.
I will be calling Magnificent again after the first of the year for a planned master bath remodel!

As a property manager in the Tri-Valley area, I value Magnificent Plumbing as a trusted vendor. They are prompt, professional, and are great on small or difficult jobs. I always call them first and they provide free and reasonable estimates.

Very happy with the work Magnificent Plumbing has done for us. They’ve installed new faucets in all of our bathrooms, replaced a toilet and fixed a leak in the kitchen sink. They are easy to reach, come on time and do great work. Definitely recommend.

Rene and crew did a great job with performing a trenchless sewer line replacement with minimal disturbance to the landscaping and no broken concrete. They handled all communication with the city, including permits, and were able to do the work without my involvement. As a courtesy, Sergio hydro-jetted the storm water line to help unclog a drain in the atrium. They provided a lower cost than the competition while also providing great service. They are truly magnificent.
