Very nice to work with
Our experience has been a positive one. They are courteous and professional. Jeremy was very informative & knowledgeable.
Craig was great! He went into very clear information about what was going on with the main sewer line. Also some ideas on what was of the going on with it and possible fixes. This me second time dealing with Thornton & Grooms. Great service with out any high pressure.
Excellent communication through the whole process, from booking through arrival and departing. Professional, courteous, thorough. Greg arrived on time, was very thorough with his inspection of the plumbing system. He replaced a couple seals, drained the hot water heater & installed a couple screws into the HW…
Patrick and DeSean were polite, prompt, and knowledgeable. They made sure to answer questions and explained everything in detail. They worked quickly with no disruptions. Highly recommended.
Service was great. Prompt and professional. Job and Bill was knowledgeable and answered questions regarding the issues. Very pleased with service. Highly recommend
Great job
It's hard to describe how unhappy and anxious you are when you're sewage backs up into your downstairs shower and it's Labor Day weekend. I called Thornton and Grooms and left a message that we had an emergency and we'd like some help. I didn't know if we were going to have to spend the weekend in a hotel or what…
Through inspection of plumbing areas. Friendly and knowledgeable.
Great costumer service and well trained technician! I would definitely recommend this company to everyone for there professional AC service. Thanks again Steve , well done!
Anthony was very respectful and cleaned out my line to the street. For the price of $99 I was told that my line would be cleaned out and a camera inspection would be done. Anthony does not do this service. The camera service was not done, I was told I had to make another appointment for this. But still had to pay the $99.
Mike was very professional & took care of our issue quickly.
Jeremy was professional, prompt and friendly. Explained what he was doing and found the problem right away. Highly recommend.
Billy and Stephanie did a great job! Very communicative upon their arrival and called to let us know the progress of the repair and cleaning, very personable and knowledgeable.
I have had a series of plumbing issues lately, starting with a slow shower drain that identified significant rust scaling in my 48 year old cast iron pipes that led to a descaling and flushing. The descaling revealed a series of openings in the bottom of the lead from the kitchen. Ultimately the basement needed to…
I got camera inspection for the sewer system. Very satisfied with Jeremy’s expertise and kindness. I would strongly recommend him and his company.
I cannot say enough of how these guys are the best plumbing service company out here. Completely trustworthy and the services techs are hands-down the best in this industry. They always have the parts that are needed so I'm never waiting to get my problems repaired. Thorton and Grooms will always be my first choice when I'm in need.
My techs were excellent! Responded quickly to fix my issue. Mike was knowledgeable and clearly explained the process and outlined my available options. Would highly recommend!
Great service & I would definitely recommend this company!
I’ve now had multiple positive experiences - Between quick, easy and flexible scheduling to the services being complete with quality, I’d highly recommend going with Thornton & Grooms.
Zach was terrific very knowledgeable and personable
Tree roots got into my sewer pipe. T&G was excellent. I cannot have experienced a better outcome. Jerame removed 1 sidewalk piece, dug up the sewer line, then Greg, Chris, and Jared repaired the sewer line and supported the pipe before Jerame filled the area back in. Jerame packed the ground as he filled it with the…
Very thorough and polite. Would recommend to anyone needing plumbing assistance
Great service. Great price. Clogged man drain was opened fast and flow was restored. Can use my water again. Thanks.
Very professional, well done. Fantastic people skills!
Mike did a nice job and thoroughly reviewed all of our options. He worked well with our insurance company and overall made the process. He then stayed accessible to answer any questions and provide any assistance needed throughout the job .
Trustworthy company. We’ve interacted with many of their staff over the years & they have all been kind & very competent.
Love this company!!! They are always helpful and friendly. Technicians are well qualified, professional and friendly.
Called Thornton & Grooms for an estimate for a backwater valve. They charged for the estimate but the estimate included a sewer line scope. They found major root build up that other inspectors and plumbers had somehow missed. They were very professional and informative.
Darrin was through and answered all of my questions about our sewer back up. He snaked our line, identified some potential issues and set us up with next steps. Highly recommend!
The work performed was done efficiently and work site was cleaned up afterwards. Billy was courteous and explained everything thoroughly.
Did great job very happy with results.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Needed to resolve a plumbing issue that went unfixed after using a different company. Both techs (Noah & Logan) that performed work were courteous, professional, extremely thorough and explained and provided options to remedy the situation. Ultimately, they were able to fix the issue at a very…
Written in approximately 2017 --- I am thrilled with my experience with Thornton and Grooms...all 20+ times they've been out over the years. They absolutely have a knack for hiring the perfect service technicians. Bill Richards is our go-to guy for plumbing and Will Walker for HVAC. We've had others come out, and…
Today Billy Tarolli was at my house. He repaired our plumbing problem (with a helper) and they did a fine job. Left the area clean. I agree T&G is pricey but they stand by their work and make sure everything they do is done correctly with a warranty. Part of his job was done 6 years ago, so I didn’t have to pay a…
Nick took the time to fully understand my issues that I had with thermostat. Performed a detailed maintenance check on the furnace. Highly recommend this Tech and company.Thank you!
Stephanie was great. She is knowledgeable, a good worker, and communicated well.
Turns out they over charged me by $500 before the holiday. I had to call 10+ times show them the documents they gave me and showed they over charged and still have not been refunded I would never hire them again
Excellent work, great service.
Great and professional service. Jeremy and Dartin were great, knowledgeable and polite.
The best plumber great price.
T&G has done work for us over the last 9 years, and every experience has been totally professional with fantastic employees, super easy to work with, answering every question with completeness, doing the job right, and standing behind their work. Today’s work involved a yearly check of out furnaces. Adam did a very…
Brad was very puntual and thorough in assessing our central drain issues. He was patient answering questions and fully explaining the situation. Highly recommend.
Omari Johnson did a great job fixing my plugger sewer line. He was friendly and very neat. I would highly recommend Thornton & Grooms.
Miles was very professional and knowledgeable about systems. Will use and recommend this company to other friends .
I would give Anthony a 5 ⭐, he was Very Professional, very knowledgeable and explained everything for me to understand what he would be doing. And also very easy to talk to and a Very Nice young man. I will be getting another job done and will be Requesting Him to do the job. 👍 Great Job very Happy 😊.
Brandon was awesome and it was a pleasure having him to service my home . I am a pleased customer of Thornton and grooms.
Always experienced and courtesy staff with good communication from techs and dispatch.
Both Dominic and Alexander were excellent. Dominic did an amazing job with the sewer line clear out. He was very thorough. Though it wasn’t cheap, it definitely needed doing. I had another blockage and had Brandon Riddle come to service. He was so professional and thorough. I really can’t recommend Thornton and…
They promised to help move all the appliances back that they had disconnected then left and said it's not their problem.
Marquis does a wonderful job Also, Mike Marquis was excellent and saved me a lot of money by avoiding the kitchen and bathroom tile areas
Tony and Jackson came out today to install a new sewer liner. They were here most of the day and Was happy with their work. They communicated with me regularly and answered all of my questions.
Jared Edwards has been excellent. He has informed steps along the way - he’s a very good representative of Thornton and Grooms!!
The best plumbing company ever! Appreciate their great amazing service so very much! Highly recommend them to any lucky guys!
Completed job with high quality results and answered all of my questions...
Best service ever. The guys were very helpful and kept me informed throughout the whole process. I will never call anyone else. The guys were quick, efficient, so polite and cleaned up the basement and back yard. Jonathan Wellman , Jared Edward's and their crew were the Best. And the price was great. Thank you Thorton & Grooms
Logan was awesome, very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. He fixed our issue quicky and professionally. We've used T&G for years to keep our heat, a/c, and plumbing in top notch condition. Their platinum. Service plan is a great deal for this!
Great experience, Zack was very friendly and knowledable, took the time to explain all the steps along the way. Highly recommend.
Michael marquis made sure I understood everything that needed to be repaired before he left. He couldn’t have been nicer. I would definitely recommend him (Thornton and grooms) to anyone!
Jesse did an amazing job Installing my new sewer line. City inspector approved the installation and it’s good for back filling and cement. All of my experiences with T & G have been satisfactory thus far.
Anthony, is a real knowledgeable, true professional. He did a fantastic job of assessing my issues and giving me clear options. I don't know if the price I paid was high or low. It didn't make a difference because the service was well worth it.
Super professional! Had the issue nobody wants, digging up the basement floor to fix water backing up in the basement. It’s a bad thing to happen, but Thornton & Grooms sent out experts, I’m very impressed.
Great service by Kevin Byrne!
Jacob was very competent, personable and professional. I am extremely pleased with the job.
Jim was very knowledgeable and provided great service at our plumbing home inspection. I highly recommend Thornton & Grooms for all their plumbing, heating and cooling services.
Kory did a GREAT job! He was the team leader on an unusually difficult job. Although there were some problems, he showed a positive attitude and was creative in finding ways to work through the problems and get the job done. Final outcome was excellent. I'd be pleased if he were to be on a future project. Doug
Snaked our main sewer line. friendly, knowledgeable and explained things very clearly.
He was friendly & knowledgable about what he was doing.
I was blown away by the prompt and professional service provided by Darrin Wimbush of Thornton and Grooms. We had a stubborn basement floor drain clog that happened to be tied into an older legacy drain. It took several tries before the clog let loose and the drain cleared. Through it all Darrin was a complete pro,…
Very professional and answered all my questions. 5 star service for sure!!
Very pleased with the service I received. Technician Brandon was a pleasure to work with. Thanks for everything!!
Answered questions by phone
Answered all my questions. Explained all procedure he preformed. Did not try to over sell me on other services. Great guy. Offered preventive maintenance advice.
Very good service. Cleared drain line out, left no mess, and William explained what he found clearly. Very happy with his work. Patrick and Bryanna were great. They opened and prepared the pipe for the sleeve. Again taking time to explain and left no mess. Billy and Jared installed the liner. Thank you all for your…
Efficient, fast knowledgeable!
Thornton & Grooms has become so disappointing. I think their technicians are now much more skilled in high pressure sales tactics than the actual repair/maintenance work (which has really gone down in quality). I'm changing my rating to just barely one star. Back in 2020, I moved into a new home just as the…
Dan came to my house to perform the yearly Furnace safety check. So glad I had it done. Found a leak that caused some damage to the motor. The part is still under warranty so having it replaced. If I did not do the maintenance this year, could have done more damage to my furnace. So Thanks Dan for doing a great job…
Dylan was polite and professional.
Codee and Zack done a excellent job. They cleaned up after themselves and everything really good. Great job, guys.
Once again, my experience with Thornton & Grooms was exceptional in every way! Andrew Rowe was very friendly, knowledgeable, and thorough while performing a plumbing system evaluation of my whole house. He expertly answered all of my questions and even quickly remedied two things that I thought were unfixable! I…
