The business is now run by Milton's son, Jim, who continues the family tradition for prompt, professional service. We operate from central Wichita where we can serve Wichita and the surrounding areas.

ABOUT BUSINESS OWNER


My name is Kendall Cooper. My Grandfather in-law, Milton started the Business in 1955. His son Jim took the reigns over 40 years ago and still works in the business today. I am currently working along side Jim and plan to keep the strong culture and tradition going that Milton started over 60 years ago. Bowers has always had a tradition of providing Professional Plumbing Service at reasonable prices. I came along side Jim 5 years ago now and have loved being able to jump in such a strong family oriented company. Here everyone is treated like family, owner, employee, customer alike. I have a beautiful wife and two daughter that are in the picture with me.

I have used Bowers Plumbing for many years (the last 17 years or so to be exact) and they always do a top notch job, are courteous, and take the time to explain what work needs to be done and why.  The biggest reason I use Bowers Plumbing is they do the job right every time for a fair price.  Jim Bowers and his plumbers are great to work with and truly care about your satisfaction.  5 Stars!

I really like working with Bowers Plumbing.
We needed help fast -- they came fast.
We needed them to keep the house quiet -- they worked quietly.
We needed to pinch pennies -- they kept the costs down.
And when I talked to Jim, he listened carefully, took me seriously, and was attentive and sympathetic to my specific concerns.
These guys are real pros doing pro work.

Our plumber was utterly unprofessional, and nothing was fixed after two appointments.

Doing the wash, the drain pipe was backing up. Did a quick search, found this company was still rated decently well, so I decided to give them a try.

First pass was cheap, and it took a little bit of time, which I expected.

Two days later I'm still having the same issue. Turns out I misunderstood the plumber and all they did was clear out the drain pipe. Now I realize I've overpaid them, and that job took way too long. I thought they were clearing my main line, and the time taken seemed adequate for that, and the price was very good.

The new price quoted for clearing the main line, or doing the job I initially thought I paid them for would have been reasonable, had that been all I paid. But no, I had already paid them a good chunk of money. Now it's getting expensive.

Now that they had a real job to do, the plumber is walking around like a chicken with their head cut off.
Do I have exterior access to the main line?
No.
Are you sure?
Yes.
I'm going to walk around and have a look.

They notice that my front lawn has lines marked. Natural gas work had been done.
Did they knock on your door and tell you anything about your sewer?
No.
Are you sure?
Yes.
I'm going to call around.

They finally resign themselves to using the access point I showed them at the beginning of the appointment. They hit something and decide to accuse us *multiple* times of flushing wipes, which we don't do.

Cue two hours later, and the job is not done.
Do have a manhole cover, I'm not hitting anything.
Not that I'm aware.
Are you sure?
Mostly.
I'm going to walk around.

A cable broke and the plumber taught my toddler a swear word by yelling it to high heaven. We also heard it because all the doors were left open. The main line access is in a bare concrete room, and he leaves the door to the finished portion wide open.

The drop cloth he laid down was an afterthought. Our carpeted stairs were filthy. The finished floor was disgusting. They did not really clean up after themselves. I glanced the wash room after he left and saw some water on the floor; that was expected. Today I go into the room and realize that feces are everywhere. I get to spend a solid half day washing and disinfecting half of that room.

And the cherry on top is that nothing was fixed. And as the plumber leaves, he has the audacity to tell me to careful what I flush. My blood boils just recounting this experience.

TL;DR
I was able to get my money back, but that's not enough to warrant a second star. It was a miserable experience. The plumber was largely clueless and extremely unprofessional to point of being childish. And the cherry on top was that they left a massive mess that I am still attempting to clean.

Getting an offer from the company to have it cleaned with no charge was too little, too late. If I hire a professional, I expect a professional. I wanted nothing more to do with them at all.

Great quality service!! We called them Thursday morning snd they were able to squeeze us in on Friday afternoon to replace our broken water heater. They were also able to tell us our warranty had ended in our current water heater though we couldn't find the stamp on it anywhere. The employees with the company was very professional and quick to get his job done. He was respectable enough to wear a mask as well during the whole process. The company is also very forward thinking on their technology. I got a text prior to their arrival stating how far they were. They were able to swipe my credit card on site and left no sign or trace of being here as they took away the broken water heater with them. I would hire them again for any future service.

My first experience with Bowers Plumbing was better than I hoped. We just bought our first home and noticed something not draining properly. After seeing reviews about cost and timeliness, I called Bowers.
We scheduled for someone to come out, who called before they arrived. After we hung up, I got a text with a brief biography and photo. This put me at ease and made me comfortable with the person and service I was receiving before they ever arrived. It was a quick fix and a reasonable price. I highly recommend Bowers Plumbing!

Great service! Awoke to no hot water. We called Bowers and technicians arrived within the hour.  Issue was diagnosed and fixed by noon - all under warranty. Have used Bowers several times over the years and have always had great service.

I had an excellent experience with David of Bowers Plumbing.
I had a pipe break inside a wall, I called them at 8:30 and David showed up at 10:30, sooner than the dispatcher quoted!! David was very professional and had me fixed up in less than an hour! The total price was very reasonable. I'm calling them for a quote to replace all the galvanized pipe in the house.

They were kind, professional and they are my new go-to if I have plumbing problems. I had an excellent experience. After the hard freeze when I turned on the washing machine, it came out on the wall. I thought it was a busted pipe, found it was just frozen. He also put a garbage disposal in for me. They came sooner than the dispatcher quoted. He had me fixed up in less than an hour's time.
