Best Plumbing Services in Louisville, KY

Super fast, friendly and cheap. Quoted $900 less for a new heater to be installed. Showed up the next day and got rid of the old one.

Professional and reliable.  Brian showed up on time, evaluated my situation and gave me a prompt estimate.  The job ended being a bit harder to get done - but Brian stuck with it and got it done for the amount quoted!    He was informative and took the time to explain to me what he was doing and a little plumbing 101.

Highly satisfied!

Had an outrageous estimate for a complete overhaul of my shower. Went to plumbers supply just to see if they had whats considered an obsolete part for my older fixture and they did, and the kind man gave it to me for free since no one sells them anymore. He showed me how to repair it and everything. With his expertise (and a lot of patience) i saved $785. These guys truely are there to HELP people. Cant give them a high enough rating!!!

Tim and A-1 just saved the day! We needed immediate service for our company and they jumped right on it and were here in less than an hour.  Couldn't have been more appreciative and absolutely worth the cost which was reasonable anyway.

After reading several glowing reviews, I wanted to use this company but found them to be unreliable. Would not recommend.

When we bought our house in J-Town nearly 4 years ago we found out that the addition (added in '2000) had radiant heat.  I was, like, AWESOME, because while fan-forced heat is the norm, bare feet on a heated floor is a pretty cool thing, especially in the cooler months.

Fast forward to a few weeks ago when Jim (that's me!) noticed that the floor wasn't warm, even though I'd turned the radiant heat on.  Checking the circulation pumps I noticed the one for our bedroom was really but not circulating hot water.  This makes for unhappy Jim, because the sole reason I go barefoot in the bedroom (did ya catch that pun?) is that I likes the warm on the feets.

As realization set it, I decided that as much as I could *try* to replace the circulation pumps myself (Jim is a pretty handy guy), but I didn't want to run into something that would have ended up costing me more to fix and if I'd have called an expert in the first place.

To the yellow pages I go (that's purely a figure of speech any more...seriously) to see abut getting the pumps replaced.  I started w/Drexler (who replaced our HVAC system a couple years ago).  -- They don't do radiant (or, as I've come to learn, Hydronic) heat.

I called Jarboe's -- Nope.
I called Maeser -- Nope.

After a few disappointing phone calls that weren't getting me any closer to warming my feet, I tried a different approach.  Instead of calling and trying my luck, I called the local plumbing supply business and asked the question Who in the area services residential hydronic heating?.  They had one answer.

Blackburn and Davis was that answer.

I called to see if I could get someone out to fix my cold feet problem and they said they'd give me a call on Monday morning to see when someone would be out.  Monday morning I got a phone call and was told they'd be out that morning.  Less than an hour later they were at my front door.

I let them in and told them what the problem was and he started to diagnose the issue.  In less then 10 minutes he had figured it out, said he had the parts he needed on the truck, and gave me an estimate.  A quick call to the wife to let her know what was going on, and they went right to work.

As I watched (I'm an observer, not the hover over a guy and ask a bunch of questions to slow him down kinda guy.) I could tell that he was experienced at replacing these pumps and knew what he was doing.

Remember when I said I thought about buying the pumps and doing it myself?  I was about 2/3 of the way correct.  One of the bolts from the old pump wouldn't come off, so he had to use a nifty little round electrical hand-held saw to for that part (Jim doesn't have one of those).  There were also a couple other parts that were needed that Jim probably didn't have, either.

About 90 minutes later the pumps were replaced, the work area was cleaned up, and Jim's feet were warm again.

I definitely made the right choice in calling Blackburn and Davis.

Every time we had a problem, either routine service or emergency, Drexler was out quickly and expertly finished the work.  Maybe the price is higher than a smaller, local contractor, but I don't mind paying a higher price for quick but quality work.  Maybe they said they'll be there at 10, but at 2, they call to say 4.  Hey, I'm not the only one with a problem, and sometimes, a problem takes longer to fix than expected.  I don't care.  If I wanted it done fast and cheap, I'd do it myself and then call someone to correct what I messed up.  
On the last service call, we had a broken pipe somewhere on the second floor bathroom.  The technician explained how they were looking for the leak logically by working the way down from the tub where the leak was coming from.  He made three small holes in the drywall.  Fortunately, the leak was found and quickly repaired and we didn't have to remove cabinets in the kitchen.

This morning, a McVey truck blew through a red light at Rudy Ln and Brownsboro Rd. It hadn't just turned red -- there were 2 cars already in the intersection turning past the truck's lane. Fortunately, no wreck occurred. I called the company to let them know about the behavior of one of their drivers. The person responded, OK? When I suggested his firm might want to see who it was and be cautious about their drivers, he said, Thank you for the call, and hung up. Despicable.
