Best Businesses in Columbus, OH

Joe repaired our leaking jacuzzi. It took quite a bit of detection to locate the problem but Joe never gave up. He installed a new toilet as well. I will always call W &W Plumbing for any future problem I have.

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 creative in their approach to solving problems and extremely thorough and detailed with the execution. Highly recommend!

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!

Lisa is helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. We needed two lavatory faucets and were only interested in single-handle, small, retro ones, which really limited our choices. Lisa was all over the showroom getting samples. She also took them off the display racks and inserted them into a bathroom sink so we could see them in context. We really appreciated her help.

I had three other people come and give me estimates for a piece of broken sump outlet pipe in my yard. Someone came out from the drainworks--already unfriendly to begin with--and told me it'll cost $195 to camera the outlet pipe before he could give me an estimate. Hunh? I have three estimates already and two on the way. Acted annoyed that I wouldn't pay the $195 and drove off. I called to make sure this was their policy, and, basically, this is right--they explained they could only do an estimate for a total replacement if I didn't pay them the $195 to do the same thing I had been charged $0 so far. Three others have given me repair estimates already! Ironically, another estimator actually was waiting for the DW guy to leave and he actually started pulling out a camera right away. After I described what just happened and that I wouldn't be paying him, he stated that, no, they did that as part of their process for actually getting the job--which is totally what I would expect! I'm not paying $195 so that you can give me an estimate--you give me an estimate so that you can get the job! Pathetic!

My wife and I moved to Plain City in June and needed a plumber for a water heater leak. We like to use local companies when possible and found Foust. We called and got an appointment setup the following business day and our issue was a non-emergency. David was the technician that came to the house the following day and he did a great job throughout the day and went from leak inspection to installed & fully functional water heater the same day. I recommend Foust - they did a great job for us.

We had a couple of issues in a two week period and both times, Tony from The Service People came out to help us out of our jam. The first time was when water came gushing out of our recessed lighting fixture over breakfast over a weekend. By later that same Saturday afternoon, Tony came and diagnosed the issue and fixed the likely culprit: the toilet. He replaced the seal and we've had no problems since. Not even a week later, the pilot went out on our water heater and we felt really lucky Tony came out again to diagnose the problem. We got a new replacement water heater in a matter of days and are super happy with the level of service and attention that he gave us. We feel better knowing that if there's an emergency, we'll be taken care of. Thanks so much, Tony!

I had to deal with these people through HomeServe for a plumbing warranty.  They are dishonest, lie about what the issue is and never call you back.  Do not ever call them.

We called Baumann Plumbing with a clogged drain issue we couldn't fix ourselves. I gave them a call late in the day and they said someone would be out the next morning by 8:30 am. Very quick turnaround compared to other companies I called. Sure enough... Gary showed up to help resolve the issue. He was very professional, friendly, and fixed our problem in under an hour. Baumann will now ALWAYS be our first call when we need a plumber. A big thank you to Gary for excellent service and a quick fix at a reasonable price!

I reached out to have my vent stack cleaned/cleared. They came out and quoted a price to do so, and proceeded to not address the vent stack, waste time in their van doing nothing and suggest progressively more elaborate services that were non-related to my request. The issue I called them for was not addressed at all and I had to pay for the guy to sit in his van for an hour talking to his 'supervisor'. Terrible and unprofessional experience that wasted my time and money.

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.

I give them a poor rating related to communication, professionalism, and my overall experience with them, but let me explain. T & R was assigned to me by my home warranty company for a plumbing issue I was having. I called my home warranty company on a sunday evening and placed a claim with the automated system. I had done this before with a different household issue and everything went smoothly, so I had no reason to think twice about doing it again. T & R never contacted me as a contractor had in the past. I waited until later in the day on the following day, Monday, and then called my home warranty company to report that I had never been contacted. At this time, my warranty company got in contact with T & R and I was given an appointment window for the following day, Tuesday from 9am-1pm. After 1pm when T & R never showed up, I called my home warranty company again. They contacted T & R who stated that a man had called them and reported that our issue had been resolved and that we no longer needed a plumber. I am the homeowner, a female, and while I do have a roommate, she is also female and doesn't deal with homeowner issues and we definitely still needed a plumber. I'm not sure if they had another invoice with a similar address and they canceled ours by mistake or what the issue was, but I did not cancel my appointment and no random man did so on behalf. I tried calling the company (which as far as I can tell is just this guy, Rocky, with a cell phone) and got no answer. I called my warranty company back and was told since it was directly before the holidays, there were a limited number of companies that could provide service on such short notice and that due to the previous conflict, T & R refused to make another appointment to provide service to me. After a whole extra debacle with my warranty company, eventually I had another appointment with T&R for Wednesday between 1pm and 5pm. Again, T & R did not show and did not call to let me know he wasn't coming. I called him and he told me he was running behind and he said he could come but that it would be closer to 8pm. At 8pm he still didn't show up. He stated he was running behind and that he would be able to see us the next day, Christmas Eve, at 9 or 10am. At 10am he did not arrive, and I called him again several times, and he replied with a text message Sorry, busy, call back later. About 10:20 he did return my call and stated that he was not able to answer the phone because he was on the line with my warranty company. He said he would be arriving in about a half hour or 45 mins. An hour later he did arrive. He stood looking at a pipe outside and gave me several reasons why he couldn't fix our problem before even attempting to fix it, stated that it was an issue my HOA would have to resolve because all of the lines to the sewage are all connected, that his lines would not be long enough, etc... I am not a plumber, obviously, but no one else had report an issue in the HOA or had plumbers at their home, so NO, this was not an issue for the HOA. Eventually he did run a line down the pipe outside and pulled out what was creating the problem. The night before he came out we noticed water damage on the ceiling in our living room, directly below the bathroom. I showed it to him, sure that since I had not had plumbing issues up until this point, that the house being backed up had created this problem and he guaranteed me that this was a separate issue and that I would have to call my warranty company back and create a separate claim. Again, I am not a plumber, but it seems like 2 separate plumbing issues at the same time is highly unlikely. So to recap, I spent 5 days unable to shower, use as sink, do dishes, or wash laundry waiting on this guy to keep his appointment or at least communicate that he wasn't able to do so. It was not like it was just a clogged toilet, I was having to go to my gym to shower to get ready for work. If I had a regular 9-5 job I would have missed 3 days of work waiting for this company to do what they said they were going to do. To top everything off, when I went to pay, conveniently, his credit card machine was broken until the 7th of January, so I had to write a check, which was extremely inconvenient, as most people use credit cards for just such emergencies when they experience an unexpected problem like this. I called that day and placed another claim with my warranty company to have the leak that is damaging the ceiling looked at and I even gave the benefit of the doubt, since it was a holiday and a weekend and I had some traveling to do myself, and today is wednesday, almost a week later, and I contacted my warranty company to see why a contractor had never contacted me and what do you know, it was supposed to have been T & R. I demanded a different company be assigned to me. I would not do business with this company (and I am being generous with that term) again.
