Slade's Plumbing AZ

Gold star review alert!!! As you may/may not know, it's an honor to be a Yelp Elite reviewer. I get to help others, looking for services or restaurants or experiences, find a good one through my experiences. It's such a thrill (and relief) to find the perfect business.
I will admit that my eye tends to drift toward those businesses that have been around a long time and have lots of reviews. That's great and they've earned it. This time I added one that does not have a lot of reviews. Most of these businesses, are usually new, such as in this case.
We noticed a leak was coming out of the front lawn onto the driveway. While it looked small, it turned out to be a 1/4 gallon per minute leak (confirmed by Epcor). So, onto Yelp to find a plumber. I chose about 5. While many contacted us pretty quickly, others did not. Our first plumber came out and immediately quoted a replacement of the entire water main from meter to house. This would involve: busting up driveway, lots of backhoe work and then, new driveway section. How much? About $9000. Ouch.
Taylor came out afterwards and immediately offered a suggestion. For a nominal price, he could dig down to actually see the problem and offer a resolution. Brilliant!
We have the go ahead and he and his helper, found the leak. A small break in the pvc. He fixed it and it costs a fraction of what someone quoted without knowing what the problem was. Taylor is an honest, hardworking guy with an awesome assistant. It's hard enough to find competent plumbers out there. Even harder to find hardworking and honest ones.
I'm going overboard on this review because this was the difference between a huge quote, problem unseen, to something that requires some work to see the problem, diagnose and then fix it.
Give this guy a chance and you will also sing praises for his work. I found our plumber for life!!!

Taylor hit all three of my requirements:
Great price
Last minute service
Friendly and professional

Great guy (even though I kept referring to him by the wrong name).  I will be using his services in the future as well as recommending him over the other the larger shops that have administration cost.

Thank you Taylor and tell that Shane guy I said thanks too :-D

5 Stars! I honestly would give 10 Stars if possible. Taylor did an amazing job and I will definitely use his business again for any of my plumbing issues! I highly recommend Taylor and his services.

Taylor was extremely responsive and so helpful. He reinforced the rods in our closet and were very happy with the results and would absolutely recommend him and his company! Thank you!

I called in the morning, and got a 3:30 appointment for the same day.  Taylor arrived right on time.  Both of my  bathroom sinks were clogged and not draining properly, and he fixed the problem completely within half an hour or less.  The photos are from what he pulled out of my bathroom pipes.  I couldn't be happier with the outcome.  Now my sinks are both draining properly, and everything working as they should, thanks to Taylor.  I would recommend to anyone; he doesn't waste any time and does thorough and complete work.  He lets you know what he's doing as he's doing it so you understand the process.  I appreciated that so much.  He exceeded my expectations and will definitely call him again for other handyman services I need in the future.

The vendor came to our home on Super Bowl Sunday and was so kind to take care of some persistent issues with our toilets. The value was great and they even did a follow up call the next day to fix an issue.

Did great work. Was responsible and showed up on time. friendly, and knowledgeable. No

I woke up to an awful smell in my house on Sunday morning. I had a water sensor on my sump pump go off the night before, and our house reeked (like downtown San Francisco) the next day. I realized that the pump wasn't pumping the dirty water away. Instead, water started to pool through the corroded lid at the top of the pump under the stairs.
It is hard to find a great plumber. I asked my neighbors for referrals; they're all gone from the area. So I finally went to Yelp and put in a request showing my problem.
I had various quotes, some were upwards of $2,500, sight unseen.
Reminder, this all went down on a Sunday. Taylor was one of the few that offered to look (on Sunday) and give me an estimate to fix my problem.
Taylor was excellent from when I chatted with him on Yelp, estimating when he could look at the problem to when he showed up and started working on the pump. He showed up with his helper.
My house reeked, but he just powered thru, not one complaint; I was gagging.
He pulled off the top, pulled out the pump, cleared the disgusting adult diaper and cloths that had been flushed down the toilet by my Alzheimer-ridden mother, and then put a temporary cover on the sump pump to reduce any odors.
Quickly, my house smelled normal again, and he showed up a few days later with a custom lid and installed it while fixing all the Weird piping we had under the stairs.
The whole thing cost less than 1/4 of the estimate the other plumbers gave and was solved in record time, professionally, with no stress and a great attitude.
Taylor is my go-to plumber and handyman going forward!

Very honest, fast, and reliable. Found my go to  plumber in the valley after a lot of suboptimal experiences. Fixed a difficult shower leak over the weekend and respected our home in the process. Just a really good guy.

Our toilets clogged in the middle of the night in both bathrooms due to a plug up from a pile up of non solubles wipes causing back flow into the showers and tubs. So we were super desperate to get an honest affordable plumber in to resolve the issue ASAP ! Not only was Slade's plumbing  immediately responsive they also were willing to drive up and service us that night! I would highly highly recommend this honest business above all others that not only wanted me to wait for a couple days for the next available appointment but then to try and charge me an arm and a leg for what this company did immediately at more than half the price! Thank you so much! Much love from the Cota Family

Taylor is awesome!!! My garbage disposal went out and sent requests to many businesses on this very app. I got quotes back asking for $125-$375. Taylor was the only one that tried to walk me through on fixing it myself. (I, of course was unable to do so). Taylor came by 2 hours later and fixed it in less then 5 minutes. He definitely didn't charge me anything close to the other quotes I got. I will definitely be calling Taylor again for any of my plumbing issues. Highly recommend.

Taylor was here when he said he would be and is friendly & kind! Super efficient and cleaned the mess from changing two bathroom faucets ! Very reasonably priced & even helped me with a small handyman fix! Hire him!!!

Taylor was very professional, easy to work with and a problem solver. He was willing to make the extra effort to get the right tubing to fit the faucet since the one we had did not connect to the new faucet we were replacing. He got the project done efficiently and on time. Great Job!

A very nice guy came out to give us a quote on replacing an electric water heater but admitted that he's not installed a residential heater only commercial. I already had 2 quotes from other companies who gave me a written invoice noting certain things would need to be replaced. Those items identified were not identified by this gentleman and I did not feel that confident in hiring him. He advised she was license but not bonded. But the company was extremely receptive in coming out timely so I must give them kudos for that

I'm an out of town landlord.  I look for businesses that use technology to communicate with me.  It is important for me to know what is going on without being there. Taylor was easy to reach, responsive, kept me in the loop with texting and photos and guarantees his work for one year.  My tenant turned in a service request to repair several leaks in the sprinkler system.  He went out that afternoon, assessed what the issues were, went over everything with me and then got  all the leaks repaired.  He has a happy customer and I have a happy tenant!  I plan on using Taylor again for all my rental home maintenance in the future.

Quick response and good communication via Yelp. Completed the work in a timely manner. Did a great job.

Taylor came out to our house same day, he was very communicative and responsive. He was able to help solve an issue with a leaky faucet in our shower. He responded quickly to my questions via text, showed up on time and was very professional. Highly recommend!

Quick response and great service to fix my leaking shower. Great communication over text and on time for the appointment. Left the site clean and gave me information on what I could do myself in the future.

Taylor came to assist with the installation of  faucets for each of our bathrooms with a very short notice. We contacted him on a Saturday afternoon, and he did not hesitate to come the following day at 8 am to do the work. We strongly recommend Taylor not only because of the very professional job he performed in our house, but also because he responded to our request on a Sunday morning which is almost unheard of from plumbers these days. We truly appreciate his help, and recommend his services. We will continue to count on him for any future plumbing or handyman needs.
