about 25 minutes from our yard
Licensed plumbers covering Albany from our Hayward yard — water heaters, drains, sewer lines, leak detection and repipes, seven days a week.
Friendly Services is a family-run, employee-owned plumbing company working out of the same yard on West A Street in Hayward for twenty years. We're about 25 minutes from our yard from Albany.
We've built over 100 reviews across Google, Yelp and Angi in that time. Licensed, bonded and insured under CSLB #1156315, with a five-year workmanship warranty — four years longer than most shops offer.
Free estimates, no trip fee, and the price in writing before anyone touches anything.
Albany is compact and largely built out between the 1920s and 1950s, with small lots and homes close together.
Homes of that era are at the end of galvanized supply life, and tight lots make access the deciding factor in how a repipe or lateral replacement actually gets done.
Albany is served by EBMUD.
Work that needs a permit goes through City of Albany Community Development Department. We file it and meet the inspector rather than leaving that to you.
This city sits inside EBMUD's regional private sewer lateral program, so a compliance certificate is generally required when a property is sold or goes through a major renovation. We handle inspection through certificate — more on that here.
Small lots and shared property lines mean we look at access before quoting. A job that has to route around a narrow side yard is a different job than one with open access.
