About A&R Plumbing & Draining – Meet Armin
For over 15 years, Master Plumber Armin has set the gold standard in clean, precise, and transparent residential and commercial drainage across San Francisco, East Bay, South Bay, and the Peninsula.
No Subcontractors. When you book A&R, Armin personally supervises or conducts your service.
Built on Honesty, Precision Diagnostics, and Respect for Your Home.
"Plumbing emergencies don't happen on a schedule, and they shouldn't be exploited with predatory surcharges or aggressive sales tactics," says Armin. Founded on the principle of tradesman integrity, A&R Plumbing and Draining was created to give Bay Area families and business owners direct access to an authentic Master Plumber.
Whether clearing a multi-story grease blockage in downtown San Francisco or replacing an unstable main sewer line under a heritage Oakland bungalow, our philosophy remains unwavering: clean work areas, surgical diagnostic precision, zero mysterious line items, and a genuine commitment to leaving your property cleaner than we found it.
