The frigid temps caused the pipes in the laundry room to freeze along with the drain that removes the water from the washing machine.   After trying to solve the problem on our own and were unsuccessful, I called Jeff at JSR Plumbing and he saved the day!  He took the time to Facetime with me and assess the problem prior to coming to our home.  We had some success, but asked him to come and check it out first hand.  Jeff was able to show us what was going on and fix the situation. Being a first time home owner and not being too savvy on plumbing issues, Jeff was patient and answered all our questions.  We highly recommend JSR Plumbing if you are looking for an honest, reliable plumber.

Can't say enough good things about these guys.  Excellent, very professional customer service, and extremely responsive.  Our water heater went out over a weekend and we needed a replacement.  Called at 9pm on a Saturday and got an immediate response.  We did have to wait until Monday to get a replacement due to the size of our water heater, but they squeezed us in so we wouldn't have to go another day without hot water.  

Our technician really went the extra mile when I asked him to check out a few other plumbing issues that we were experiencing and wanted to get his opinion on repairs.  I also needed to have some special documentation for the repair due to our home warranty, and they were very accommodating.  I would not hesitate to recommend these guys - in a field that can sometimes have a lot of shady characters, these guys are the real deal.

I needed a plumber in a hurry! My basement floor drain was backing up when I went downstairs.  I couldn't get hold of my go to plumber so I started searching Yelp.  Flush Plumbing had some excellent reviews and 24 hour service so I called them at 7:00 in the morning, I was told the plumber would get right back to me and within 5 minutes he called!  He listened to my story and said he would have someone out within the hour...30minutes later there they were.  Dustin looked at the problem, checked the cleanout in the yard and decided they could get at the problem from the basement.  Within 20 minutes they had me back in service and for a very reasonable price.
I have been gouged by several local reputable companies before and after reading the reviews of them on Yelp I see I wasn't their only victim.  
Flush will now be my first call for my plumbing needs!

Hands down BEST customer service I have EVER experienced! We had a major backup in our kitchen and within 45mins (not even!) he arrived and knew what the problem was by me just explaining my issue. He is VERY knowledgeable and wasn't pushy with services and up-charging. He finished the job quickly, efficiently and even tested the sink and dishwasher to make sure I was happy with his work. GOrooter will be my go to for plumbing from now on!! HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Juan's services, you will not be disappointed!!

One service, a customer can count on, expertise, technology, very customer service.

I called Specialty Plumbing for a leak in my bathroom that was going down to my first floor.  Tile had to be ripped out and the plumber, Kevin, told me he was not sure if the part needed to be replaced or not so I decided to just order a new part so the tile could be ripped out and the faucet fixed all in the same day.  My brother came over later that day and ended up fixing the problem without the new faucet.  I called Kevin back to see how much I owed him and he said, Nothing.  I am so used to dishonest plumbers that I would recommend this company because they are nice and honest.  He was at my home for at least an hour helping me order a new faucet, etc.  Kevin was highly recommended and although I did not use him to fix the problem I know he is honest and will recommend him and use him next time I need a plumber.

Dunbar's is great! Happy to find a great, reliable southside plumber. I called them this morning around 9am, and Angelo Dunbar himself came out within an hour. We had a leak from our tub that was causing water to drip into the ceiling of the room below. Angelo gave me an estimate, then ran out for parts. He returned only 3 hours later, ready to fix it! Turned out to be a bad gasket seal on the overflow valve, which he replaced easily. He also tightened up the nuts around the base of our drain, keeping it from draining while my kids are in the tub. To top it off, he and his assistant cleaned up the drywall mess they had to cut through to fix the problem. Excellent service! Everything taken care of the day I called! Thanks, Angelo!

Don responded to a call for an ejector pump issue. He came out a few days later as scheduled, texted me to let me know his arrival time, and replaced our pump quickly and got everything working again. We've had him out to unclog a kitchen sink line, and recently he installed a backup sump pump for us. At each visit he lets me know when he's coming and shows up on time. His prices are fair, his communication is great, and he is a really nice guy. I'm not looking forward to our next plumbing issue, but when it happens, I've got Don on speed dial.

Joe has helped us numerous times throughout the years.  The most recent was converting our two handled bathtub faucets to one.  This greatly increased our water pressure!  In addition, he directed us as to how to select the fixtures we liked which he then picked up for us.  He switched out the fixtures and replaced the pipes in one day and cleaned up after himself.   As usual, his prices and service are the best around.

UPDATE - Gino and Excellent Plumbing were excellent once again this past week, coming to address the drain in our basement that had some water come up a few days later. He quickly identified the issue and fixed it the same day at no charge to ensure no water comes up again. Gino must have seen me in the window trying to calm our baby and was so thoughtful to call me to discuss what was going on from outside vs coming inside or having me go outside. This was so appreciated given COVID concerns and was above and beyond.

This company wasted a good 3 hours out my day. I spoke with the manager the day before and he gave us worst case best case scenarios to our sewer problem. We had our main sewer line rodded out twice before and each time would provide a temporary fix and later start backing up again. They explained the only way to locate the problem was to do a camera inspection. Once they did that they would be able to tell us exactly where and what the problem was. We went ahead and paid the money for the camera inspection but the camera wouldnt go past 30 ft. They end up just putting a device on a rod and seeing how far it went and marking lines on our ground. Then they said it would be 4500 dollars to dig up and replace the line. I asked how do you know the line needs to be replaced? His answer was because the rod stopped here. How stupid does that sound. Just because the rod stopped there doesn't mean the pipes need to be replaced at that location. The truth is without the camera inspection they are just as clueless as we were. To try to charge someone 4500.00 for a process of elimination is crazy. I would never do business with them again nor do i recommend anyone els doing business with them period. You are a professional and if you cant tell me what the problem is why would i pay you for your services. Thats like calling a cable repair guy and after he gets done, him saying you have a problem with your cable service. Are you retarded? I knew that before i called you. You are suppose to be telling me what the problem is not that i definitely have a sewer problem.

Ralph recently handles two jobs for me at a rental unit in the city.  He did a great job, showed up on time and communicated the issues to me.  Couldn't ask for anything more and will definitely use Ralph again in the future.

Called them on a Sunday - off a Google search and connected with Victor. Unlike the others, no evaluation or show-up fee. Brandon, from their team, came by within the hour evaluated the problem and remedied a problematic sump pump. Seasoned professionals, great service, will use again and recommend to others.

Paul and his crew were quick, clean and reasonably priced.  I really have had bad experiences with plumbers, usually they're condescending and aggressive. Never have I experienced that with the two times I've had to use Glennon plumbing in these very old house of mine.  Seriously use them, the best!  Thanks Paul!!

Great service! I sent them a message through yelp, and they got back to me very quickly. We ended up scheduling an appointment the very next morning and got my garbage disposal replaced within an hour and a half! I would highly recommend them.

Kudos to all plumbing!  My garbage disposal broke and selected these guys as their local and the great yelp reviews.  Couldn't be happier with the service.  Came out in one day.  Specifically the communication with Joey was awesome.  Updated me on his progress and was fixed in about 30 mins at a very reasonable price.  
Thanks APS and Joey.  I will recommend and use you sevice again.

Pete is a very knowledgeable plumber.  He is straightforward with the scope of the work and pricing and a very fair person to work with.  I appreciate his craftsmanship and use him whenever I have the need for a plumber.

Matt replaced a main water shut off valve at our house and was great. He showed up on time and his price was reasonable. We would definitely recommend him for any plumbing work.
