Two bathroom sinks clogged. They were cleared successfully. Willem was thorough, knowledgable, and friendly. He did a good job. The price seems very high, but I am satisfied it is in line with industry standards.

Brian Ramirez from Price Busters was excellent! After coming out on short notice, he did a great job of communicating his recommendations as to how to fix a clogged drain. We didn't listen and continued to try to no avail, but Brian happily listened to and did what we asked. We then followed his recommendation and…

We had a bit of a miscommunication with the first plumber that came out, but Sam - one of their foremans- came out and cleared things up. He gave clear details of the issues and an accurate quote of what it would cost to fix it. Brian & Connor then came out a week later and finished the job. They were polite,…

Duncan and Vlad came out late on a Saturday night to help us with a clogged drain. They were super friendly and professional and they broke the clog free and got everything cleaned up in no time. I would definitely call these guys again if I need anything else done.

My mom and I have been customers of Price Busters for quite some time now for all our plumbing needs. Nick and Vlad were able to repair our pipes and clear them in a super timely manner. They were both professional as is the company.

Late in the day I spotted water leaking from under one of my toilets, not knowing yet that my store’s sewer line had backed up as well. It was the weekend, so I expected higher rates and started calling around. It was about 5 p.m. on Saturday when I tried PriceBusters, and to my surprise someone actually picked up.…

Before having new insulation blown into the attic, it was suggested to have the galvanized plumbing replaced (advised for insurability) and the only remaining galvanized plumbing was not substantial. Most repiping jobs have a fixed minimum, but Price Busters was willing to assess the job which was below the minimum…
