Jimmy Krummel, AKA Jimmy the Plumber has been my parents' plumber for over 2 decades now. His business is located in the Lakeview area of New Orleans, but he serves the entire metro area.  

Flashback 5 years ago when I moved back to New Orleans from Los Angeles, I bought a 50 year old house (with 50 year old drains) and needed a plumber.  There was never any doubt on who I was going to call, as I have never met such a trustworthy, hard working and God fearing man!

Low and behold, my shower drain got clogged, and my Liquid Plumber attempt at a fix it had failed.  I called Jimmy and he immediately answered, even though I could tell from the background noise that he was at a party or other type of function.  He was ready to leave the party (at 8 PM) and come right over, but I assured him that I had 2 other showers I could use and it was not necessary, and that he could come the next day.  The next morning, he was courteous enough to call and advise he would be a running 30 minutes behind schedule, as he encountered an unexpected issue at another residence.  I really appreciated his call as there is nothing worse than waiting for a service technician for hours on end without any idea as to when they are going to show up. Even if you call him and he has his hands full, he always calls back in a timely fashion.  

Several years ago, my sister's on demand water heater broke in the middle of winter and she was waiting on an electrical component to be UPS'd to her home.  The part got delivered after 7 PM.  Jimmy the Plumber was at a graduation ceremony when the part got delivered, but came over after the ceremony (while on his way to the after party) and changed out the part so she could have hot water.  This is over the top service, and why I will never call another plumber again.

I have used Jimmy 2 additional times in the past 5 years and have gotten nothing but top notched service each time.   He is the type of guy you can have working in your home and never have to worry about anything, as his trustworthiness and integrity are beyond reproach.

I can't say enough good things about this guy and his his business.  If you are ever in the need of a plumber, I cannot recommend this guy enough!

My toilet water line burst and flooded two rooms. I phoned 504 Parish Plumbing and they worked me in on a busy day for them. They showed up 45 mins later and fixed the burst line AND fixed a leaky outdoor spigot. Both jobs were done in under 30mins. The guys were efficient and actually enjoyed their job. I can not recommend this company enough. FIVE STARS!

Dave at Bienvenu Brothers went well above and beyond helping us with an on demand water heater that had to be replaced. He was conscientious, courteous, and very professional. He and I had several conversations about the issue and he kept me well informed about the process.
He was prompt and arrived as promised. Thanks Bienvenu! I'll be calling you again.

Needed to replace a gas hot water heater.  Discovered no hot water at 5 AM.  Called them a little after 8 AM.  They got to me me and replaced a 40 gallon gas  hot water before mid afternoon.  The guys were clean, courteous,  professional and efficient.  The price was fair for the service requested.  You can't go wrong with a reputable business like Earl's.

I called American Leak Detection on the advice of my pool man because it was obvious that our pool (installed in 1992) was leaking. I had visions of having to dig up the patio to do repairs. Myles came out and did a careful evaluation of the pipes, drains, skimmer, pump, etc. visually and using pressure. He put on a dry suit and got in to do an inspection of the interior of the pool, and removed the drain covers and cleared away the accumulated debris before pressure testing them. He found that the big problem was with one of the jets that returns filtered water to the pool, and was able to fix it on the spot. What a relief.
The next day I noticed that there was still a little air coming from two of the jets, much less than before, and called ALD. They immediately scheduled a return visit at no additional cost. Myles found the very small leak, which was in the pump connections, and again fixed it on the spot. No more air bubbles coming through the jets.

The service was expensive, but they performed a service that was as minimally invasive as possible, and came back without question to take care of the final detail. I would definitely hire them again, but hope I don't have to.

If i can rate this to below zero i would doesnt even deserve any star at all... owner is RUDE!!! i was calling for a service for one of my location in Kenner and he goes and tell me to ''fuck off'' what kinda dirty business do you do you ghetto af!!! i wish your future customers finds out how rude you are! im actually surprised you even have your business up here on yelp when you dont have any business to bring other than telling a potential customer to fuck off!

Had Doug's come to repair an Ice Maker, I was told that it needed a new water valve ($350 ) and that if that didn't work the valve could be returned and that I would need a new Ice Maker. Part replaced and it made 1 tray of ice and stopped working, called Doug's and explained  the problem and that I would order a new machine and have them come install it and that I would get a credit for the valve. After making the return appointment to install the new machine, I was told that I couldn't get credit for a useless $350 valve. After arguing with the Manager, maybe owner, of Doug's, they decided to give me credit and charge me an additional $292.00 for the new install for a Grand Total of $642.00. I will never use these lying thieves again!  I called Solar Refrigeration to get cost to do the same job and was quoted $239.00.
Do yourself a favor and stay away from this company.
