Unfortunately, my experience with Southside Plumbing was not great. Maybe it was just an off day for them? I had Mark and his journeyman come out to replace my water heater. The quality of the work done was sub-par. The water heater was installed partially over the basement drain - problem #1. To compensate, they put a rock from my garden underneath the water heater as a shim - problem #2. Of course, a rock was never meant to be used as a shim, so it pops loose almost as soon as they leave. This caused the water heater to become unstable...I could literally rock the water heater from side-to-side - problem #3. In addition, the gas connection had a leak that their own equipment didn't detect, but my nose and the bubble test certainly could - huge problem #4. I called them and Mark sent back his journeyman to fix the issues. I hate to leave a negative review for a local business, but the gas issue especially is concerning because their own detector did not detect the leak. It was only after I double-checked their work that I noticed this potentially very dangerous issue.
Positives: they are locally-owned. They were on-time and more affordable than the big Denver-area chains.
