First time working with Cornel’s and even though we didn’t get our rain drain completely flushed, Eric tried everything. He explained the process and thought through possible issues and solutions with me, ultimately having to refer me to a rain drain specialist with excavation capabilities. Eric is a standup guy, hope to see him again.

Had a great experience with Eric today. He was able to unblock (root removal) our sewer pipe to restore immediate service and was able to recommend another general contractor to replace the line, which is needed due to the age and condition of our pipe. Overall a great experience that makes me want to be a continued customer of Cornel plumbing and HVAC.

Had a leak that was outside the house and we had to shut off the water. It was the next day before someone could get to us, but Jake was available a few hours early and got the repair done quickly. He also explained a lot about how our system works and some things we could do in the future. We were able to pay on the spot, and got an invoice by e-mail.
