They should up right on time (maybe even a little early). Angel was very friendly, got the clog out of the main sink fixed quickly, and gave me tips on how to avoid it happening again. They are also very competitively priced, much less expensive than some of the local competitors. If you need plumbing work, call…

So grateful for prompt, professional intervention on a job we absolutely couldn’t DIY. We had a VERY stubborn clog somewhere deep in our old galvanized pipes, and Tyler kept at it until the water flowed freely down the drain—hours of strenuous work. He is courteous, knowledgeable, and professional, and we are so…

Tyler unclogged a sink and shower drain which now are clear. He also installed a new modern toilet in our 85 year old house. He was earlier than planned which was nice and is very friendly and courteous. He worked quickly and efficiently. The price seemed very reasonable to me. I will use Viking again when needed.
