Erick was great to work with. He was able resolve an issue with the sewer line and restore flow.
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.…
Had my house completely repiped, new waterline installed and some drainage issue repaired. Trey was very courteous and professional while completing my many plumbing issues. He communicated well, kept me informed and answered all my questions. Very respectful.
Cornel's Plumbing and Eric are both outstanding. Eric was on point with everything he did. He helped me coordinate with the city, a restoration contractor, and of course everything he was doing. He saved me hundreds of dollars while helping me on my way to getting my bathrooms and sewer service back! Eric is an outstanding plumber and person.
Brendan was phenomenal! He explained everything so well, answered all my questions and worked around other contractors I had in the same day. Awesome experience.
Eric Buckner was on time for our plumbing crisis. He is very knowledgeable and quick to act. We were pleased to have someone who takes pride in his work and seems to really care about his customers!
Juan Segundo was the technician who came over and helped us with our issues. He gave us such great advice on preventative steps regarding our pipes. He was super kind and easy going. Highly recommend using this service.
Brenden did an excellent job

Thank you to Evian, Baxter, and Ben K for completing my project! From beginning to end, our experience with Cornel’s Plumbing was amazing. We have a 1953 home with a lot of 'DIY' history and original galvanized steel pipes, so we expected some major hurdles. Evian, Baxter, and Ben K. handled the entire…
Eric was very professional and helpful. Was upfront on costs and kept us informed every step if the way. Update: unfortunately had to use them a couple months later (no fault from Cornel's and Eric). Eric was able to come out again and go above and beyond in helping us with our new problem.
Eric did an awesome job explaining options, causes and the actual repair.
