They are super easygoing, extremely knowledgable, and not sales-y at all. It's difficult to come by honest and reasonably priced plumbers these days, and so I was really happy to work with them. Also supporting a small family business! They did a solid diagnostic assessment before proposing any work to fix the water pressure in our house. Would highly recommend!Posted on Google![]()

We had an emergency clog that turned into a big time sewer line repair job, and the Bob Oates team was timely, thorough, and helpful throughout. Prescott was a great project manager and kept us updated and informed the entire process. We're so glad we contacted them first!Posted on Google![]()

I had Bob Oates come for an estimate and they far and away beat every estimate. Konrad did the work and I was very impressed with the work, communication, and professionalism. I will be use Bob Oates from now on.Posted on Google![]()

I’d be happy to recommend this plumbing company to anyone. They responded to my call quickly, showed up on time, and did an outstanding job on the plumbing work in my home, including my sinks and other maintenance. Their workmanship was excellent, everything was done professionally, and they stand behind their work with a 100% warranty, which gave me great peace of mind. It’s hard to find a company that is this reliable, honest, and responsive. This has been the best plumbing service I’ve ever experienced. I will definitely use them again and recommend them to all my friends and family. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Posted on Google![]()

Had the pleasure of being helped by Autumn today. She was friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable about the services this company offers. I wasn’t quite sure what would be right for me, as I’ve never dealt with major plumbing issues before, but she was able to help me choose the services that would best suit my needs. I appreciate her answering all of my silly questions in a way that I could understand. I will definitely be recommending Bob Oates to my friends and family. Thank you, Autumn!Posted on Google![]()

I just had Henry and Jesse come over to my condo to help me out with a leaking dishwasher... these guys were rockstars! They gave me a courtesy call and were here on time to the minute! Total professionals as soon as they entered the door, asking about my shoe policy and just pleasant people! As I fumbled around to find my dishwasher literature, they already had it pulled up and were running an initial cycle to troubleshoot the problem. Within minutes Henry diagnosed the problem, the two excused themselves to grab a few tools and were back in moments... it couldn't have been more than 10 minutes and they had resolved the problem and were running a cycle to verify their work. They gave me some additional feedback on what may have caused the issue, how to avoid it in the future, and then proceeded to humor me by answering a few unrelated questions I had about my washer. Great guys and great experience! This is now my second time dealing with the Bob Oates team and both times have been a great experience... Local, first rate service, and family owned; I'd recommend them to anyone! Whether you're a GC or a homeowner, having a great plumber in your Rolodex is a must; Bob Oates is my go to and should be yours as well!Posted on Google![]()

Bob Oates Plumbing came recommended by our neighborhood, well-known real estate agent. We have used them a few times-once for a clogged kitchen sink situation and also for kitchen faucet installation. They have been timely, honest, knowledgeable and nice guys who make sure the job is done right. They can also order fixtures/products for you and they will install. Highly recommend!
Don’t Get Frozen in the Winter Months: Maintain Your Water Heater Today
As fall and winter approach, so do many family holidays. Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Eve are the perfect occasions for friends and relatives to visit, and many times they will stay as guests in the house for a few days. This means that more people will be using hot water for washing laundry, dishes,…
Advantages of Trenchless Sewer Replacement
Replacing a damaged sewer line doesn’t always mean digging a trench across your property. Modern trenchless sewer pipe repair and replacement methods can restore underground pipes with minimal excavation, helping homeowners avoid much of the disruption, expense, and property damage associated with traditional sewer replacement. Depending on the condition of the existing line, trenchless solutions…
What Happens When Drain Cleaning Is Neglected?
Your drains handle wastewater every day, and normal use gradually leaves grease, food particles, hair, soap residue, and other material behind. Without occasional drain cleaning, that buildup accumulates, restricts water flow, and makes drainage problems increasingly difficult to ignore. Neglecting drain cleaning doesn’t mean every plumbing system will develop the same problem on the same…
Recurring Clogs and Their Causes
Clearing a clogged drain is one thing. Having the same drain clog again a few weeks later is another. A recurring clog often means that the original blockage wasn’t completely removed — or that another problem inside the drain or sewer line is causing it to return. Instead of repeatedly treating the symptom, identifying the…
Tips on Dealing With Clogged Drains
A clogged drain is frustrating, but some simple blockages can be cleared at home without calling a plumber. Below, the team at Bob Oates has assembled some pro tips for dealing with clogged drains. Before you start, take stock of what’s happening: if several drains are slow or clogged, wastewater is backing up into another…
Are Plumbing Inspections Important For Homeowners?
Yes! A professional plumbing inspection is an important part of understanding the condition of your home’s plumbing and catching potential problems before they turn into expensive repairs. A comprehensive inspection looks beyond faucets and fixtures. At Bob Oates Plumbing, Sewer & Rooter, that means evaluating key components throughout the home — including pipes, toilets, water…
What Counts as a Plumbing Emergency?
A dripping faucet probably doesn’t require a plumber in the middle of the night. Water pouring from a burst pipe certainly does. But plenty of plumbing problems fall somewhere in between. When something suddenly goes wrong, homeowners often have to make a quick decision: Can this wait until tomorrow, or do I need an emergency…
Risks of Delaying Sewer Repairs
Your sewer line is largely out of sight, which can make it easy to put off dealing with a problem — especially when the symptoms seem minor. A slow drain clears up. An occasional sewer odor disappears. A backup happens once and doesn’t immediately return. It can be tempting to assume the problem has resolved…

The Importance of Regular Sewer Inspections
Your home’s sewer line does an important job every day, but because most of the system is underground, it can be easy to forget about it until something goes wrong. Unfortunately, sewer line problems don’t always appear suddenly. Tree roots can work their way into small openings, debris and buildup can restrict flow, and aging…
