It cost a lot but for a service that came within 24 hours, being able to schedule services online, on a holiday, and fixed the issue within an hour - it was worth it for me!

We had water backing up into the basement from the main pipe. The technician was polite and very helpful. He even cleaned up after himself! It was all in all a pleasant experience during an unpleasant time.

The service rep., Kenny d Entremont, was EXCELLENT! He explained what he thought my issues were and waited for the city water/sewer Dept to come to take a 3rd look and snake the main line. He then took the time to explain what steps he would take to fix the blocked pipe problems and took time to check all his work…

The biggest rip off the worst company. I’ve spent thousands with them for them to never finish a job went through another company and paid 300 for the same thing they wanted 7 grand for. I get take advantage of you and are atleast triple the cost for any service. Go through ANY where else they must pay for reviews.

The gentleman who fixed and changed out my pinhole leak was the best. Friendly, didn't waste time, answered my questions as they came up. If you get Mr. McDonald as your plumber rest assured that he'll do an amazing job.

The man who came out on a Sunday evening at 8:30 was every bit a professional. He walked me through what some of the problems might be. He then showed me what he was doing in an effort to edify me. I was more knowledgeable after he left by a large degree. He spent 3 hours fixing problems throughout the house.…
