Jim was great,! Very professional and knowledgeable and helped us a lot, . We will be calling him again. I was scheduled for Wednesday, but Jim finished his previous job early today, came right over and was very accommodating. He knew just what to do and with my belonging to their service plan, gave me a great deal. Thanks Jim.

George was very helpful. What I thought was a leak wasn't. Could have been very expensive otherwise. He checked all my pipes to make sure everything else was in order. I signed up for the $99 annual preferred customer program because this is an older home and I know I will need help in the future. Gives me 15% off. He did not charge me for the visit today.

I called Lifesaver Plumbing at around 1:30pm on a Friday, and George was at my house only 2 hours later to fixed our clogged kitchen sink.

I highly recommend George! This guy knows his way around old buildings and challenging clogs. And he's a great communicator--walking me through every step of the process along the way. I paid two other plumbers to come in and try to fix a clogged drain, and both failed, leaving my tub a mess. George came in, was…

I highly recommend LifeSaver Plumbing. They were able to come out quickly and did great work. George explained what was need and why. He offered a repair option to what could have been a costly replacement job. He completed the work much more quickly than I expected. Friendly and respectful of my home.
