Best Businesses in Columbus, OH

I used this group in the past year for a drain replacement. The quote I received was extremely competitive. Beyond the price, the service was outstanding. Very honest and professional from the minute I talked to him until he left the job. Would highly recommend to others.

I have been using Drain Openers for more than 10 years now. They are wonderful!!! They are always prompt getting to the job, very courteous and their pricing is always fair. The quality of work is superb and I have recommended them to many others over years with no complaints from anyone. Dave and Tina Swisher are the owners and the two men that usually do work for me are Jeremiah and Mike. You can't go wrong with this company!!

Called around for the best price for unclogging a basement floor drain and getting rid of a gawd-awful smell coming from it.  Macon was the lowest, so Tony came out the next day.  He says he removed a hideous, unidentifiable object from the drain and the water flow is clear. I called him back five days later because the smell was still there. He advised we flush bleach down the drain. We poured four gallons of concentrated bleach down the drain over the next four days. However, 12 days after Tony was here, the smell is still there.
Price: $95.00.  
Result: I'm calling Roto-Rooter later today to see what they can do.

Very professional and easy to work with. It is nice to see that some contractors have the attention to detail with their trade.

This company is the best in Grove city, there is no question about the customer service. My 93-year-old mother needed help, and they were there to help her every step of the way. If you have an older home or a newer home this is your company.

We have used the same plumber in Reynoldsburg for 30 years.  This year, I decided to try a new company despite not having problems with my regular plumbers.  A clerical mix-up on the correct arrival time caused a minor delay but no tragedy.

The plumber arrived in very good spirits & with very good customer relations began to diagnose the plumbing issue.  After promptly solving one issue he began work on a secondary issue to replace a bathroom sink elbow pipe.  Problem was, he had no correct parts on his truck.  Issue #2 will be skipped.  We were disappointed the proper part weren't loaded on a plumbers truck but again, no tragedy.

Rates are competitive for the industry.  The plumber to customer attentiveness, and verbal skills were well above average.  No creepy weird guy shows up with plumbers butt, just a professional well spoken business man.  Kudos guys!

I was referred here because they have everything. Well, no they don't. And they don't even know how to make it work...without 5 adapters from this to that to another, just to make a simple fix. Home Depot has the exact part I needed. $12.00

Then, when I returned the two parts I did buy from Worly, totaling $16.00, they charged me $3.00 because THEY got it wrong. THEY gave me the wrong parts because they didn't listen.

I will NOT be back. I will not recommend them to anyone and they do NOT have everything. Including listening skills.  

Bad customer service. Bad interaction. Bad policy on returns. The cashier even said they usually don't have that on there. I'm not sure what it is.

Not again. Not me. Not anyone I know.

I would highly recommend this company. They recently replaced all of the downspout drains around our house. In the yard, they carefully removed the sod before digging the trenches and laying the new pipes. Then they relayed the sod. After about a week of watering the sod, you can barely see they were here. They were also very careful going through our new landscaping and under our sidewalks in three different places. They left the landscaped areas like they were before digging. They worked quickly and at a fair price. Everyone we dealt with was very professional and courteous. I couldn't ask for a better outcome. Thanks!!

I left six messages and they don't return calls anymore. They have always been prompt and given great service in the past seven years. Over six weeks ago one of the owners named ( Chris) came out to the house to evaluate a new shit off valve for the main water. He advised me to contact Marysville Water company to make sure it isn't a lead pipe going into the water line. I got back to them and advised them it was copper. Marysville water company came out again last week and checked it out and said it will just require a new elbow and a ball valve for shut-off. If Foust doesn't want to do the little job , I would like them to call me and just ach knowledge me. Six messages is unacceptable. I will go with another plumbing company.

On July 19th Matt gave me an estimate to rebuild two outdoor faucets. He told me he would order parts and have his secretary call me to schedule the work. It's now August 21st and I haven't heard from them. I'll find someone else.

This company was assigned by my home warranty to repair the disposal and the toilet.  The initial appointment was missed, apparently because their phone calls were blocked as a robocall, and they could not confirm the appointment.  Friendly staff then resolved the issue by email, and rescheduled the appointment to a time convenient for my tenant. The technician replaced the disposal and repaired the toilet.

Called for backflow testing on 10 and again on 11 august.  I was told he would be out in the next couple of days.  I discussed a problem with the lid of the backflow device and I was told he would attempt to fix it.  I assumed all would be taken care and forgot about it until I received a past due notice from the city of Columbus threatening to shut my water off if I don't get the test completed and the results submitted.  I immediately called Baumann and of course there is no answer.  Left message, got no response, called again 2 additional times...still no response.  Totally unreliable and unprofessional company to do business with.

The office representatives and technicians who do the work are great. It's the rip-off artist who shows up at your house half an hour later to show your his recording of your terrible drains and tries to scare you into digging up your yard that's the problem.
Three years ago, we needed an emergency drain clear on a Sunday. The tech shows up, clears the drain . . . and then Jimmy showed up. What a shyster. I don't even believe the video he showed us was a recording of our drain. I think he just played us a video from his bank of recordings (always make sure they show you the camera WHILE they're going through your drain).  Tries to hard sell my husband into thousands of dollars of necessary repair work. When I declined, he said, That's fine, my toilet will be working tomorrow.
Later in the week I called Eco-Plumber and they confirmed that although there was a small displacement of the pipe (he showed us the camera as it moved through the pipe, and none of the issues Jimmy showed us were there). He told us that if we had the drain cleared every other year or so, it could last another decade.
Fast forward to last week--yikes, another drain plugged (after three years. Really, it's our fault for not addressing it immediately, until it was solidly plugged). Eco-Plumber couldn't send anyone out that day. So I called Mr. Rooter. Guess who showed up with his hard sell again? JIMMY. Walks into our house without a mask, starts his flim-flam game, mentions how great Trump is (guess he missed the Biden sign prominently displayed in our yard), and gives us the same spiel. The technician was already done, but he warned us about the imminent failure of our whole drainage system. Okay, buddy. Whatever. NEVER AGAIN.

I am 74 with special child 48, my experience with Chris Plumbing was Unprofessional and Chris DID NOT do any work, yet led me to believe he fixed my problem. 11-7-16 I called Chris Plumbing about water ring around toilet, Chris said he had a job shortly but could stop and give me a free estimate.  Came in flip flops, and shorts, no paperwork,I took him to son's upstairs bathroom, Chris jumped up and down said I needed new floor wood rot. I told him I did not need a new floor as I had a new wood floor, toilet, sink, painted in less that two years ago, then Chris said he would take the toilet off and check everything out.

Came downstairs in 5 minutes said plumbing fine everything ok but had time to fix it. Went to truck came back with no tool box went up stairs.

Came down in 10 minutes said it would be $100.00, asked if I could take the discount listed on his ad, Chris said he already did that it was $100.00.

My son's caregiver was up stairs the first five minutes, came down went to the basement to get laundry, when Jim came up I was writing the check for Chris thinking Chris did work. I walked to the truck with Chris as he did not give me an invoice and I thought he would write me one, Chris reached into his truck and gave me his business card, no last name, no address, picture of a women and two kids, could hardly read phone #. Chris said he had been listed with Westland Messenger for years and if he get one complaint they will drop his ad, no need to worry gave 30 day warranty which I noted on the check.

Two days later On 7-9-16 I went up stairs to see if my son made his bed. There was water all over the bathroom floor, being by myself I put towels all over the floor. Went down stairs and looked up Chris Plumbing on my iPad. There was a review on Chris Plumbing back in 2011 almost the same as what happened to me, they said Chris said he would come three times to check out his problem and never came, with that I called another Plummer.

They  came right away, Had to snake line, said bad blockage way down, they did fix my problem. If Chris did anything Chris would have found the blockage as well. They charged $114.00 but did do the work. I called Chris and told him I wanted my money back, he said he did not trust me, I hung up.

Sent Chris Plumbing in Galloway a CERTIFIED LETTER asking for my $100.00 they would not sign for the letter. I reported this to Westland Messinger and the BBB.

I feel Chris Scamed me when I told him I did not need a new floor, to take advantage of a 74 year old lady when all he would have had to do was snake the line blockage.

I tell my story so others may not be taken in 15 minutes, I feel like a fool, my son's caregiver told me he could not have done anything in such a short time, said people like this should be stopped. That is why I wrote this, it is the principle of thing, shame on you Chris.

DO NOT PUNISH YOURSELF BY HIRING K&D PLUMBERS.  There are far too many honest, reliable, competent, and hard working plumbers for you to waste your money on this crew.

If you want to feel like a second class citizen, use K&D Plumbing.  David and team were hired to do several plumbing jobs on my house addition.  David's communication with me and my general contractor was horrible and virtually nonexistent.  David would regularly not return calls / messages and failed to follow through on several critical items (i.e., permit coordination) that caused significant delays in the project.  His failure to talk to the paying customer and follow through on promises also caused delays throughout the project.  To cap it all off, David sent one of his plumbers to change out a natural gas feed line to a fireplace.  His plumber had installed it previously, but his work FAILED the City's inspection.  David regularly pulled his plumber from scheduled dates to fix this poor work.  Upon completion of this last bit of work, David overcharged me by $95 for an hour of labor that his plumber did not work.  He agreed to me not having to pay for the 1 hour his employee did not work on my job, but he never sent an adjusted invoice.  In the flurry of paying several trades for their services on my home, I mistakenly overpaid David the $95 for the 1 hour not really worked.  I contacted him quickly to notify him of the error, but he had already cashed my check.  I requested a refund for that overage.  He told me that he 'deserved' the extra money and refused to refund it.  Eventually, he agreed to send me a $95 check.  Well, that date came and went without me receiving a check or hearing a word from David.  After a couple weeks, I again attempted to contact David to inquire about the money and refund.  He told me that he has no intention of returning my money and that it was my problem since I wrote the check.  There is a term for someone who makes promises and does not keep his word.  There is also a term for someone who takes things, in this case nearly $100, that is not rightfully theirs.

Hired Rocky to do a plumbing rough in on a house we are building. Gave him $825 down payment of $3500 total. I paid for the materials. He sent 2 knuckelheads out to the house and they made a huge mess, spilled the purple primer everywhere, it looked like a 3rd grader did the job. Hacked up my floor joists. I had the inspector stop by and he said it would never pass inspections as they had toilets draining into the vent stacks etc... I asked him to deduct the 2 days they worked out there and refund the rest of my money. Never heard another word from him. Run 100 miles an hour away from this scam artist, he really doesnt have a clue.
