Great service! Ron showed up in less than 30 minutes after I called. Not only fixed what was needed, but he give me advice, and order a part for me to save me money. Ron (The Dutchman) is the only honest plumber in the Bay Area.

They were prompt to respond, at the job on time and schedule, and did the job on the budget. Will use them again. 😃 I am reviewing again for another water heater problem. Ron responded promptly and we arranged for a timely repair. Another five star review for Ron and Bay Area, Pumbing.

Ron and Bay Area Plumbing are absolutely the BEST in the Bay Area! After trying four other plumbers, we finally found Ron, and we’ll never use anyone else. He’s incredibly fast to respond, extremely knowledgeable, and just as happy to take on small jobs as he is with larger projects—a rare find in this industry. While Ron charges by the hour like most plumbers, he’s incredibly mindful of your time. He comes prepared, works efficiently, and gets the job done quickly without cutting corners. I appreciate the way he takes the time to explain the situation and offer solutions and options, and what to watch out for in the future. We’ve had him out to our place twice now and it’s clear he values his customers and takes pride in delivering top-notch service. We trust Ron implicitly for all our plumbing needs, big or small. If you’re looking for a plumber who’s reliable, thorough, and truly the best in the business, Ron and Bay Area Plumbing are the ones to call. He’s also incredibly nice and fun to chat with! We can’t recommend him highly enough!

We recently used Bay Area Plumbing BAP Inc. and had a great experience from start to finish. Ron was professional, responsive, and showed up on time. He explained the issue clearly, completed the work efficiently, and made sure everything was cleaned up before leaving. Their pricing was fair and the quality of work was excellent. It’s hard to find reliable plumbers these days, but these guys definitely earned our trust. Highly recommend Bay Area Plumbing BAP Inc. for anyone looking for honest and dependable plumbing service.

Dec 4, 2025 Woke up yesterday, Dec 3, 2025, to a toilet leak and wet floor mats. Called BAP Bay Area Plumbing and was able to arrange for repairs the next day. Ron contacted me the day of, to inform me of his arrival time and kept me well informed of his arrival and what repairs needed. I HIGHLY recommend BAP Bay Area Plumbing and Ron Lem. GREAT customer service as he did more work than I expected, without additional cost. Very happy with results. Thanks for a job well done, BAP Bay Area Plumbing and Ron.

Highly recommend Ron! I reached out in the morning and he was at our home within hours. He has great, timely communication. We needed someone to help with our slow draining bathroom sink, and he fixed the job within an hour, in a thorough manner. The sink is draining beautifully and no more gross smell. He is super friendly and even offered some tips on what we can do to maintain the drain ourselves. The price was reasonable for the job. Will definitely hire BAP again!

Big props to Ron at BAP! Not only did he pick up my call on a holiday, but he also walked me through an easy, free fix for a faucet leak that would’ve cost $270 to service otherwise. Wanna know how companies gain loyal customers? It’s through interactions like this and showing true dedication to simply being helpful that you build good will. Should any other plumbing issues come up in my home, Ron and BAP will be my first call!

I needed a pressure balance cartridge replaced in my shower, and Ron was fantastic! He replied to my request promptly and scheduled a time that worked for me. Ron was very tidy, making sure to clean up thoroughly once the job was done. He took the time to clearly explain the issue and walked me through the repair process, patiently answering all my questions. Highly recommend him for any plumbing needs!

I had a backed up sewer and wanted to go with a new company. I started calling plumbers and was getting no answer. Ron responded quickly and was out to take care of the problem within an hour. He was very thorough about his work. He took extra time to explain exactly what was going on so it was clearly understood. He is very knowledgeable and professional. Highly recommend.

My toilets shut off valve had a small leak. I contacted Bay Area Plumbing and was helped by Ron. I was just inquiring at first, but was very impressed by Ron’s responsiveness and attention to detail. He had my business from that point forward. Good communication and customer service is hard to find now a days. My toilet was fixed within a few hours of making the call.

As a real estate agent I work with many vendors and I can say that Ron is highly competent, efficient, communicative and just top tier. He did a sewer lateral inspection for my clients and was extremely thorough and takes pride in his work . I will use his services again and refer him to all of my colleagues! 10/10 recommend for all plumbing needs!

Friends recommended me to Bay Area Plumbing and I just used them to diagnose and fix a hot water issue in my shower, as well as flush 2 tankless water heaters. Ron was amazing! He was able to make it out quickly and was super punctual, friendly and took great care of my house in the process! I will definitely call them again when I need a plumber!

We had a beyond wonderful experience with Bay Area Plumbing (BAP). Ron was so responsive, attentive, and his install of our guest bathroom toilet was smooth and stress free. We could not recommend BAP and Ron more, we will definitely be using them again for future services. Thank you again, Ron! - Casey & Alyssa (Walnut Creek, CA)

Ron was able to come out to our house on the weekend with short notice about a leak in our garage; he was very thorough in his fixes and did a great job. He also helped us out with advice about a few other plumbing issues we were having and saved us from some major headaches. We will definitely be using his services in the future!
