Meet RAP Plumbing: Walnut Creek's Trusted Local Plumber
Walnut Creek's licensed local plumber for the East Bay. We've served families and businesses for over a decade with honest, reliable service.
Ten Years of Hands-On Plumbing Experience
Roberto Plascencia founded RAP Plumbing with a simple goal: give Walnut Creek and the surrounding communities a licensed plumber they could actually rely on. Over ten years of experience later, that goal hasn't changed.
Roberto learned the trade from the ground up, working residential service calls and commercial job sites before starting his own plumbing company. He started as a small, licensed plumber working out of Walnut Creek, and grew RAP Plumbing by showing up on time, doing the job right, and treating every customer's home or business like it matters. That background shows up in the range of work RAP Plumbing handles today, from a leaking faucet in a Walnut Creek kitchen to a full plumbing system upgrade at a Concord office building.
Today, RAP Plumbing serves homeowners and commercial customers across Walnut Creek, Concord, Pleasant Hill, Alamo, San Ramon, Lafayette, Pacheco, and Martinez. Roberto still personally oversees the crew's training and standards, so every technician who shows up at your door reflects the same level of care he built the business on.

How We Handle Every Plumbing Call
Good plumbing work depends on a clear process, not guesswork. Here's what happens from the moment you call RAP Plumbing to the moment your job is done.
Step 1: You Call, We Listen
Call our team and talk to a real person who understands plumbing, not a script. We ask the right questions to understand whether you need drain cleaning, a fixture repair, or something more urgent like an emergency plumber.
Step 2: We Diagnose and Explain
Our licensed plumbers arrive on schedule with the tools to diagnose the issue accurately, whether it's a hidden pipe repair, a failing water heater, or a gas line issue. We walk you through what we find before recommending a fix.
Step 3: We Give You a Clear Plan
You'll get an upfront explanation of the repair, installation, or plumbing system upgrade we recommend, along with what it involves. No surprise charges, no pressure, just a straightforward plan for pipe installation, water heater replacement, or whatever the job requires.
Step 4: We Do the Work and Follow Up
We complete the job to code, clean up after ourselves, and confirm everything is working the way it should. For jobs like Moen Flo installation or an automatic water shutoff system, we also walk you through how the new equipment works.
