Came out, explained everything and priced it before working. Clog fixed.
Very knowledgeable and helpful. Quick response to my call.
Was able to isolate the problem with the camera and clear the obstruction with a router.
Lloyd James was a very kind and professional man
Lloyd was on time, professional-answering all my questions, and thorough with his diagnosis and repair. Very easy to communicate with and resolve our plumbing issues. Thanks!
I have been a Summer's customer at two residences over the past five years and have always been happy with their work customer service
Jacob arrived promptly and quickly assessed the situation with our backed up pipes and ended up having to do a main line rodding via removal and replacement of our commode. Very friendly, professional, efficient, & clean. I recommend Summers for any plumbing or HVAC needs. Great, knowledgeable staff that lead with your best interest in mind!
Angelo was fantastic Fixed the issue and made a plan for going forward on service and replacement of parts.
Andy, Aaron, and AJ did an excellent job!!! Give them a raise!!!!
Had a kitchen sink stop draining a day before a busy morning where I needed my sink. It was an emergency and he got it done in no time. This is the second time I’ve used them for an emergency and couldn’t be happier.
Mike is the best plumber I have ever met. Super knowledgeable and professional. I was immediately at ease concerning my plumbing problems once Mike assured me that he was going to go above and beyond to get the situation under control and restore my plumbing back to normal. Everything is working perfect now thanks to Mike and Summers Plumbing.
Angelo came out at night to save us. Toilet, shower, and sink were all backed up. He came in a found the problem was a bunch of roots clogging up our main line. Took care of the problem for us and offered many solutions going forward. Great service!!
Technician Dan did a great job replacing two outside faucets. He has provided service several times at my house and I really enjoy having him come out-I trust him and his work. Keep sending him!🙂
Furnace maintenance. Thorough check and cleaning. He came on time, identified himself, polite. I would have no problem having them back.
Great job! Went above and beyond!!! The company would be lost without you. What a Wonderful teacher you must be.
Nick and Jake were great! They were so professional and educated me on all the steps they were taking !
Andy came and was able to fix a problem that we originally thought was going to be a huge job. He did it in less than a day and for a fraction of the price. Thank you!
Austin did a fantastic job! Very polite and professional.
They gave me a huge time window (8am-5pm) which was inconvenient. But they came in, did a great job and were quick. Rooted out my sewer line in under an hour. Much more affordable than their competitors, and Stan was very professional and friendly. Will be calling them again for any needs going forward.
Very knowledgeable on the products
Moving most current to the top. Keith was exceptionally professional and proficient in executing our AC repair. Super personable as well. We will always recommend Summers for HVAC and plumbing. They always stay in contact and show up on time, and do the work quickly and well. Special mention to the office staff who…
Angelo was so very thorough. He explained everything that needed to be repaired and answered all my questions. Also scheduled an appointment for followup repairs. He had great suggestions. 5 🌟

Donnell Kelly was very professional, friendly,polite and answered questions my wife and I asked of him. You have a genuinely good guy and solid employee. Good service like that "keep" your customers calling back.
They were nice and professional, made sure to wear their shoe covers. Got the job done and so far sink drain is working wonderfully.
The guys were nice, Proffesional like always. Glad to be a part of this membership.
They do great work, always use them.
This is the third time I’ve had Summers out to mess with my clogged drain. Apparently it is a drum trap badly clogged. Once we removed the drywall to access the pipe, they were able to get in there and get that nasty problem clog and clean it out, as well as add access to the pipe going to the upstairs drain which…
Mike is great! I’ve had several services done by Summers, Brian is great, Joe is great. All have been exactly what you want a service person to be, prompt, professional, polite and knowledgeable. I can’t imagine calling a different service!
Both Chris and Mike M. were exceptional. They explained what the plumbing repair process would entail and length of time needed to complete the work. They reconfigured the plumbing for a basement bathroom to accommodate any future renovation. Chris and Mike not only repaired the wall that needed to be cut into,…
Great service always
Chris Burrell did a FANTASTIC JOB at our residence. He was very patient with our requests, advised us very well, and made sure to take care of the job at a high level. I recommend Chris and Summers Plumbing for anyone out there looking for quality work and great customer service!
Summers has helped us so much with all our plumbing nightmares and furnace maintenance. They are always so nice and courteous EVERY TIME! Highly recommend
Called at 11 and Dan was at my house by noon. Rodded out kitchen sink drain to main and bathroom tub. $99 special for each. Tech and apprentice were professional and courteous and cont8nued to put booties on even after I told them don't worry about it.
Dan H did great job! Very quick and professional. Will absolutely use again and recommend to anyone! I've used for both HVAC and plumbing! Best service ever!
Dan is the best.
My shower upstairs was stopped up and leaking into my kitchen downstairs. I called Summers right away and they dispatched someone right away. Dan did a great job finding the problem and explaining everything to me, quickly replaced the pipe fittings and cleared the drain. He was very professional and helpful making…
Updated again 09/2023: still continue to receive prompt, courteous, and friendly service from Summers! Chris B made today's visit a breeze. Update: our continued experiences with Summers for any service have been prompt, courteous, and informative. Absolutely thrilled to give them my business. First experience…

He went with me to double check the problem was resolved. Very impressed. This was the second time he was at my home and he was…

I highly recommend this company for any and all drains you have in your home the gentleman that came out to my home was Dan. Very very courteous, respectful…
Tyler N. was our technician. He was extremely professional, helpful, and diligent. He had some trouble with the galvanized pipes but he did not give up. He was able to complete the job in a timely and efficient manner. Tyler was knowledgeable and would recommend him to any family or friend. He made sure we were 100% satisfied.
The tech was Andrew He was very good.
Justin did a great job, cleaned and checked the A/C unit with care and efficiency. Thanks for your feedback on the condition of my unit. Great employee.
For weeks I wasn't able to clean or unclog my kitchen drain, no matter what I tried. Tyler and A.J. came in and assessed the situation and fixed it in less than 10 minutes, for a very affordable price! What a team they are! I'd say they deserve a raise!!
Everything was great! Very friendly and professional.
Brian was very personable and professional and explained everything he was doing along the way.
Connor Griffin did a wonderful job, and in a timely manner replacing our front spigot.
Mike did an awesome job clearing a blockage from my homes mainline to the sewer clen out.
Connor Griffin was the tech that came out and worked on our main line as it had a severe blockage that needed to be rodded out. He arrived quickly, was professional and got the job done quickly. Appreciate this since this was the first time working with Summers.
Quick and friendly!
Tyler and AJ were awesome, very knowledgeable of the situation, gave great advise and will be differently be using this business again and will recommend this business to others
I have to edit my old but good review. Just so I can add another review. Google won’t let me add a new one. Connor Griffin of Summers Heating did another Awesome job. My sewer was backed up in my townhome. And these guys had to dig through frozen rock by hand to replace my sewer clean out tube and unclog my main…
Both Brian and A.J. were competent, respectful & friendly.
Bryan Mejan is a terrific plumber. While doing a plumbing inspection he also fixed a toilet problem and solved 2 slow drain issues. Super professional and great service!
I was so impressed from star to finish. Professional & patient he made sure I understood the problem & what was necessary to fix it. Respectful to me & my home from wiping his feet to clean up when finished. Went above & beyond educating me on how this happened & how to keep it from happening again. I will…
Bryan and his apprentice..sorry didn't get your name..but very honest, professional, and got the job done 👏 👏 ty again guys #XRP 😉
Reached out to the company, Connor Griffin was the one who came out. Did a really excellent job. Informed me of what was going on, and made sure the problem was properly fixed. I liked the company so much I got the membership!
A good guy
Nick was professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. He fixed my issues and did so with speed. I would definitely use him and this company again.
Great People Dan found what was wrong and saved us a lot of money!@
On time neat and quick
Conner refused to accept their coupon for $99 drain cleaning then tried to tell me it'd be $420 just to clean my drain. He then tried to talk me into paying $6000 to replace my drain when that isn't needed at all. It cost me less than $420 for The Plumber to come out last year on an emergency call for the same issue. I do not recommend this Summers.
He did not reconnect the connector on the wall tube back to the rest of the plumbing and it then leaks and damaged the vanity.
Very nice. He knew is stuff. Took care of my problem in 20 minutes!!
Mike Lessner at Summers was very professional. He assessed the problem with our drain backup and fixed the issue. During this process he answered my questions and gave me sound advice…very knowledgeable.
Fantastic company and employee.
Perry Trierweiler was the plumber who came to troubleshoot our leak issue. He arrived promptly sending a reminder 30 minutes prior, diagnosed the problem(s), and advised me of all possible resolutions. Based on this experience, we will be going ahead with some extensive work. Good customer service!
Still have more work to do but so far very friendly and professional and explained everything about the upcoming work and the cost. Have used Summer in the past and so far has always been a good experience.
Summer's plumber, Dan, came in, checked the issue, used his tools to get the job done quickly and efficiently, greatly appreciated.
Very polite and though. Great job!!
I was very satisfied with Summer’s Plumbing services. Bryan & Manny were on time and professional. They told us what drain cleaning issues we were having and repaired them with no problem. Provided some helpful tips too! The office was courteous in making sure we were seen as soon as possible. Highly recommend.
THE TECHNICIAN WAS VERY GOOD & COURTEOUS, HE WAS VERY HELPFUL WITH PREVENTION TIPS FOR THE FUTURE , I WOULD DEFINITELY USE THIS COMPANY AGAIN
Dan was very professional, knowledgeable, and personable. He was very informative about plumbing issues and maintenance. I felt very comfortable with him and he made me feel like I was a person, not just another job. I give Summers 5 Stars for 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ service. I will be calling them for all my plumbing and Hvac…
Excellent services and employees
Dan did a GREAT job. He explained what he did and answered all my questions. Will use Summers plumbing again.
I called trying to find a reasonable priced plumber. Nick showed up & kept me in the loop of everything that was going on. Nick is awesome & so is the company. I will save & continue to use this company.
Great value and work. Prompt!! Professional.
Not only was our drain clogged but the entire 8 ft pipe was completely blocked. Nick cut it off and replaced it and now our drain is better than it’s ever been. It definitely would have been missed if I didn’t have an experienced professional working on this because the pipe he checked is in the basement.
Matt & another technician came & unclogged a tub drain. They were friendly, quick, & they diagnosed the problem without fail. Total time 45 min. My grandson was here asking questions & they answered them all. I got a maintenance plan with this company & feel good about the value for my money.
Perry was my technician. He did a incredible job and came out late Saturday to rod my main sewage line . He did a GREAT job very professional and worked extremely hard at the issue. The price was very reasonable also . Money well spent on my end .
Dan was super nice. He phoned first; arrived right at 8a as expected. He assessed the situation, asked a few questions to confirm. He went right to work rodding open the basement sewer drain. I thought it was the main drain (which would have been much more expensive), but he explained to me why it wasn't the main…
Dan was great! He was very knowledgeable and professional. I will recommend Dan for any type of plumbing services.
