Eric did a great job assessing our drain system and providing thorough details and recommendations. We appreciated Kyle’s work coming back out to clear the drains from our bathroom to our septic tank.
David was very professional and on time. I appreciate the fact that he was able to move my appointment up. He did a thorough job.
The service was exceptional and thorough
David is very nice, did a very good job. Highly recommended.
Eric was absolutely amazing. He was polite, respectful, and professional in both knowledge and workmanship. I can’t say enough about how grateful and pleased I was with Eric and his service. Recommend with highest regards.
Love these guys, they've saved me a few times. Always there promptly, always clear on communication, and always reasonable on the price. Eric solved a biiiiig 20 year grease clog for me this time... took a couple hours, a couple tries, with only the barest minimal amount of judgement, XD
Eric was great! He did a great job figuring out the problem with the kitchen drain, gave me options and costs, did a great job clearing the clog, and giving me pointers for preventive maintenance.
Very thorough in his inspection and explained it well. We were able to make an informed decision. And hope to be happy once the repair jobs are completed. Thank you.
Chris did a great job. He explained what he was doing and why and my options to more permanently fix my old drain lines.
Eric was a pleasure to work with as he addressed my plugged rain drain. He was well equipped with various drain cleaning tools and had the tenacity to keep working on the stubborn plug. Scheduling was really easy and pleasant with Cornel's and Eric was here in less than 24 hours for this non-emergency project. I'd use Cornel's again!
David was on time and very informative on the drain issue and what the first step was and if needed the 2nd step. I will definitely hire him again.
Eric was great, showed up on time and got right to work. I’ll be using this team again in the future.
Eric and Kyle were very helpful and informative. Did great work and the problem is fixed.
Brady Niswonger, a Cornel's Technician, recently came to our home for A/C maintenance. He provided excellent service (with visual aids), addressed all questions, and was most thorough and congenial. . . complete with a great attitude and outlook. Brady really seems to enjoy his work . . . how refreshing! We hope…
Eric was very helpful, knowledgeable and great to work with! We will use Cornels again!
Eric did an amazing job with servicing a shower drain in my home. He was fast, cordial and very professional. I would highly recommend him as a member of the Cornel team.
Eric was communicative and even arrived early. He was quick to get the job done and didn’t try to waste my time with any upselling. We have the annual membership with Cornell’s and so far it’s been such a blessing.
Eric was great! I called yesterday and had the first appointment this morning. He arrived on time and flushed my tub drain within an hour. It was more expensive than I expected to clean one drain (over $300) and of course they couldn’t even provide me a range over the phone the day before. But I have no complaints about the service itself!
I had issues with my AC earlier this summer and a tech named Ricky came out and diagnosed and fixed the issue asap. I meant to review then but life got in the way and forgot to. I was reminded today when I had a plumbing issue and Eric the drain doctor got us fixed up right and I really appreciate it. I can attest…
Thank you Eric for the great service. Quick, clean, and very friendly.
Eric was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable
Eric was great, fast and efficient. He deserves a raise
I own 2 houses in SE. Cornel’s are my go to outfit for plumbing work. Called yesterday afternoon about a clogged downspout at ground level SQUIRRELS!!! Eric was here before 8 this morning, and promptly got to it. First he evaluated, then we talked and agreed to the scope. Work was completed by 8:30. Yes, they are that awesome!
Prompt service and very professional!
Erik was wonderful and took care of our clogged bath drain quickly and with care!

Eric did an amazing job. Punctual, super friendly and fixed my issue right up. Highly recommended.
David was very pleasant, professional and efficient. I'm very happy with the service provided and the cost was a pleasant surprise. I will definitely use Cornel's again.
Visit #2 today from David for a different problem. Gutter drain to street plugged up. As expected David was great and solved the problem. What a pleasant young man and he spoke highly of the Cornel staff and operations. Kudos to the whole organization! Well done and thank you.
Eric did a great job and was very informative of the tasks he was going to perform, true professional.
Erick was very helpful and great guy
I so appreciate Cornel plumbing ! Eric came out same day to help with a clog in my basement ,that had all my sinks overflowing. He was kind engaging and very informative. He was honest about my issue and respectful ( which honestly I find most technicians to be patronizing to women, he was not) He was funny , kind…
Eric did an excellent job making sure the pipes were working before leaving. He was super easy to talk to about issue.
Eric was helpful and knowledgeable about the problem and remedied it quickly. He also gave us helpful pointers on how to keep things maintained.
Eric was fantastic! He was honest, upfront and really cared about my situation. I got same day service at a very generous price! I will absolutely be calling on Cornel in the future should I ever run into a situation like this again.
Kevin and Dave were amazing very professional will surely recommend them to all my friends and family
Eric was amazing. He was personable, professional, and quick. He walked us through our job and when it turned out to be more complicated than we thought he pivoted and handled it with grace. Would highly recommend and want Eric for all our repairs going forward.
Eric was friendly, helpful, efficient, and knowledgeable.
