This is additional info as I again had to call upon Carter’s My Plumber, this time to replace a water heater. When they say “water today”, they aren’t kidding. I called at approximately 1pm. After the initial call, Jody called me back in 10 minutes and was here to diagnose with 30 minutes. He agreed that the water…

They missed the install window by a few hours and I had to chase them down for updates, but the tech that did finally arrive (Zach) was great! Had a new hot water heater by 9:30pm (window was 3-5p), but seems to be running well. So overall I’m satisfied.

John and Miles did a fantastic job. I had 2 other companies out before they were here. Both of the other companies tried to upsell me on unnecessary services for thousands of dollars when all I needed was a simple service call and a quick drain clearing on my sump pump outlet pipe. They took the time to listen to what I was experiencing, diagnosed the issue and solved it with a common sense approach rather than jumping into a sales pitch to upsell me. 10/10 would recommend Carter’s My Plumber.

This is additional info as I again had to call upon Carter’s My Plumber, this time to replace a water heater. When they say “water today”, they aren’t kidding. I called at approximately 1pm. After the initial call, Jody called me back in 10 minutes and was here to diagnose with 30 minutes. He agreed that the water heater was dead. He drained it and left and then John was here within an hour with the new water heater. It was installed and he was gone at 4:30. This is an excellent company with which to do business and they are much appreciated here. Thanks.
