After my next door neighbor retired from plumbing, I had a string of really bad experiences with various local plumbers, big name and small. I can't articulate my relief when I was referred to Planet Plumbing by a local plumber who was overworked!
Planet Plumbing is my go to ... I don't even bother grabbing competing quotes... they are awesome. Rooter prices are overly reasonable! They are all knowledgeable, well trained, honest, prompt, and fair.
Once the plumber was being accompanied by an apprentice, who forgot to lay carpet protector down before taking the rooter snake down to the basement... so there was some black marks on each of the stairs until I caught it, and he tried to lift that side up off the carpet as he went down.
These things happen... and they are great opportunities for service providers to demonstrate their true value and their true concern. They finished the job, were very apologetic, and left it to me whether I wanted them to go out and get stain remover and come back to try and clean the carpet, (even though it was already 8pm), or receive a fair discount off of the service.
I opted for the discount, used some basic carpet cleaner and the grease came right out, but I have high faith and confidence in the integrity, experience, and skill of every Planet Plumbing plumber I've gotten to work with. Oliver is setting me up with a new water heater soon, and is ensuring everything is up to current code and current safety standards... Thanks, Oliver!
