The workers were very friendly as well as prodessional. I had to have a tree removed for them to continue and they were insistent on removing the stump for me themselves to save me money. They were very fast with the amount of work they had to do. I will be looking to them for future plumbing needs.

I would not recommend Carlin C Plumbing to anyone in Erie, PA. My experience was extremely disappointing from start to finish. They initially estimated nearly $10,000 to replace a sewer line that ultimately did not need to be replaced. After further evaluation, the issue was resolved by snaking the line, yet I was…
