To whom it may concern, Eric the root doctor was exceptional during his extravagant journey to our crawl space. He diligently worked through our vicious 5 lb dogs barking at him and was very efficient despite the distraction. The job was completed very well, and we thank Eric the root doctor for all of his support.…

What an amazing team! This is the company that you will want to work for your plumbing needs! I called with a broken bathroom pipe, we live in a house with galvanized pipes from the 60s, and we know they were old. We were skeptical to call a plumber cause it’s hard to trust people to be honest and not screw you…

Thank you to Evian, Baxter, and Ben K for completing my project! From beginning to end, our experience with Cornel’s Plumbing was amazing.

I called Cornel’s because my basement drain was overflowing. I’ve had several repairs done from Cornel’s and I trust them because I know that they will give me an honest price and won’t try to charge me for work that I don’t need done. Eric came out and troubleshooted the reason for the overflow. He is such a gem.…

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.

This is the second (and third) time I’ve used Cornel’s services this year and once again, they exceeded expectations. This job was a sewer scope, which I requested so that I could determine whether my main sewer line was failing, compromised or in need of a full replacement. The previous two companies I’d requested…

We have used Cornel's Plumbing for a wide range of projects. Sewer line work, a new main line installation, water heater replacement, sewer clean outs..... they have crews that are experts on everything. They are always prompt and respectful of your property. The scheduling, quoting, payment process is very easy too. Highly recommended.
