 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My old toilet had been giving me trouble for a while—it was outdated and just not working properly anymore. I knew it was finally time for a replacement, so I reached out to Ehret Plumbing.
I was greeted by a friendly staff member from their office and was pleasantly surprised to be scheduled for the same day. Jorge came out and provided me with a quote. The price was reasonable, so I decided to move forward.
He returned the next day to replace the toilet and was friendly, efficient, and professional throughout the entire process. Everything went smoothly, and I’m really glad I chose Ehret. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of plumbing work.

Albany may be one of the East Bay’s smallest cities, but it packs a lot of plumbing history into a few square miles. Homes built during the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s along the Solano Avenue corridor, Marin Avenue, and toward Albany Hill often share a familiar plumbing profile: aging galvanized supply lines, original cast iron drains, older sewer laterals, and water heaters that may be well into the later years of their service life.

Ehret Co. Plumbing & Heating has served East Bay homes and businesses since 1910. Our plumbers understand the older materials and plumbing layouts common throughout Albany and the surrounding communities, and we bring that experience to everything from recurring drain problems and water heater failures to sewer work and emergency plumbing.

Albany is also a close-knit community where homeowners regularly share contractor recommendations with neighbors. We believe that makes doing the job correctly, communicating clearly, and providing dependable service especially important.

Why Local Albany Plumbing Experience Matters

Albany’s compact size does not mean its plumbing systems are all alike. Much of the city’s residential development dates to the middle of the twentieth century, and decades of use can reveal predictable problems in older pipes and fixtures.

Homes near Solano Avenue and Marin Avenue may still contain galvanized supply piping that has corroded internally and reduced water flow. Older cast iron drain systems can accumulate heavy buildup or deteriorate over time. Properties closer to Albany Hill may also have mature vegetation and sewer laterals that require attention as roots seek openings in aging piping.

Along the Buchanan and San Pablo Avenue corridors, residential and commercial properties may have plumbing systems that have been expanded or modified over many years.

That is why experience with older East Bay properties matters.

Ehret Co. has worked on plumbing systems across this part of the East Bay for generations. Our plumbers understand how older materials behave, how previous repairs can affect the rest of a system, and when a recurring plumbing problem may indicate that a larger repair is needed.

Why Albany Homeowners Choose Ehret Co.

Plumbing Services in Albany, CA

Ehret Co. provides residential and commercial plumbing services throughout Albany and the surrounding East Bay.

Our plumbing team can help with:

Drain Cleaning

Slow sinks, tubs, showers, recurring clogs, and gurgling fixtures can indicate buildup or a blockage somewhere in the drainage system.

Albany’s older homes may have drains that have collected decades of grease, soap residue, mineral scale, hair, and other debris. Original cast iron lines can also develop internal roughness as they age, making it easier for buildup to collect.

Ehret Co. provides professional drain cleaning for:

- Kitchen sinks
- Bathroom sinks
- LBathtubs
- Showers
- Toilets
- Laundry drains
- Floor drains
- Floor drains
- Main drain lines

Our team uses professional equipment to restore flow and determine whether a recurring blockage may be connected to a larger drain or sewer-line issue.

Water Heater Repair and Replacement

Many homes in Albany were built decades ago, and water heaters that have already been replaced once or more may again be approaching the end of their service life.

Ehret Co. provides water heater repair and replacement throughout the area.

Common water heater problems we handle include:

- No hot water
- Inconsistent water temperature
- Pilot light and ignition problems
- Faulty valves and other serviceable components
- Popping or rumbling noises
- Rust-colored water
- Aging equipment that needs replacement

A leaking water heater tank is not repairable. If the tank itself has started leaking, the water heater must be replaced.

Our plumbers can inspect the equipment and explain whether a repair to a serviceable component makes sense or whether replacement is the more practical option.

Rooter Service

Recurring main-line clogs may be caused by more than ordinary drain buildup.

Mature trees and older sewer laterals can create conditions where roots enter joints, cracks, or other openings in the sewer line. Once inside, roots can catch waste and gradually restrict flow.

Signs that rooter service may be needed include:

Ehret Co. provides professional rooter service to clear blockages and restore flow.

When roots repeatedly return, our team can help determine whether the sewer lateral needs additional repair or replacement.

Sewer Cleaning and Repair

Older sewer laterals can develop cracks, separated joints, root intrusion, deterioration, and other problems after decades underground.

Albany’s established neighborhoods and mature landscaping make sewer-line condition especially important when homeowners experience repeated backups or recurring main-line problems.

Ehret Co. provides sewer cleaning and repair services for Albany properties. Depending on the condition and location of the line, an appropriate solution may include:

Our goal is to identify the underlying problem and recommend a solution based on the actual condition of the sewer line rather than simply treating the same recurring symptom.

Emergency Plumbing

Plumbing emergencies do not follow business hours.

When a pipe bursts, a sewer line backs up, a water heater fails, or another major plumbing problem threatens your property, Ehret Co. provides 24/7 emergency plumbing service in Albany.

Call us for urgent problems such as:

Burst pipes
Major active plumbing leaks
Sewer backups
Overflowing fixtures
Severe drain blockages
Failed water heaters
Gas line concerns

Albany sits directly within Ehret Co.’s established East Bay service corridor, allowing our team to serve the community from our Oakland location.

For emergency plumbing service, call 510-528-4292 any time, day or night.

Trenchless Sewer Replacement

A damaged sewer lateral does not always require extensive open excavation.

For qualifying Albany properties, trenchless sewer replacement may allow deteriorated piping to be replaced while reducing disruption to established landscaping, walkways, driveways, and other finished areas.

This can be particularly valuable on compact residential lots where traditional excavation would disturb a significant portion of the property.

Ehret Co. evaluates the existing sewer line, access, layout, and condition before recommending whether a trenchless approach is appropriate.

General Plumbing Repairs

Ehret Co. also handles everyday plumbing repairs for local homes and businesses, including:

Leaky pipes
Faucet repairs
Toilet repairs
Fixture repairs
Garbage disposal problems
Water pressure issues
Supply line repairs
Shutoff valve replacement
Plumbing fixture replacement
Gas line services

Our team provides residential and commercial plumbing service backed by more than 100 years of East Bay experience.
