Best Plumbing Services 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!!

Tony was fantastic!  Same day service on my sump pump, and very reasonable.  The communication via e-mail, phone and text was the best I have ever experienced with any contractor.  Top notch.

UPDATE: Upon double checking, we found no such communication at all with Jeremy as he describes in his response.  We had no idea he had decided he couldn't do anything; he didn't email or text or call with any such communication.  As far as we knew, he had not made any decision and needed more information--and hence his initial commitment to us to come back out.

Jeremy originally came out on March 4.  His initial take on the situation was that this is typical for this area and I've never had one beat me yet.  So his sudden Yelp response of I decided it can't be done is, in my opinion, a rather questionable last-minute excuse made after he's been called out for lack of communication.

Anyway.  Like I said, in our initial meeting on March 4 he had committed to us to come back out in the next week or two to do detailed site measurements but didn't follow up on that for quite some time, and didn't communicate anything for several weeks despite my wife calling his office (March 21) and emailing him.  I finally emailed him on April 1 to ask, Are you still interested in looking more closely at my back yard situation?  If not, just let me know.  Otherwise, please let me know when you plan to be by to assess the situation.

To Jeremy's credit, he responded in 6 minutes via email.  But, his explanation had NOTHING to do with inclement weather delays; instead he talked about some personal medical issues.  Unfortunately, I accepted those at face value.  And now when confronted with the facts he says the delay was due to inclement weather?

In that same email communication he committed to coming out that same week on Friday, April 5, which I again took at face value.

And that was the absolute LAST we ever heard from Jeremy--that is, until moments after my initial Yelp review went up at 11pm.  Now his story is I came out April 5 and decided it couldn't be done.  If he came out, he did not specifically schedule a time to meet with us that day.  Nor did he let us know afterward that he had been there, or made any decision about whether or not to do the job.  I might add that my wife is home all day, and most certainly would have seen Jeremy making any detailed site measurements as he originally described--and yet she saw no such detailed or extensive activity, nor did she see any indications of any such activity.

Further, at no point did my wife deal with Jeremy over text messages.  It was all email and voice.  And at no point did my wife receive any text from Jeremy such as he describes.  Yes, I would be very interested in seeing said screenshots of any texts.  Jeremy, you have MY email; please send the screenshots.  And if you had already concluded that you could not make it work properly, then what additional options did you possibly have to offer?

I also find it interesting that if Jeremy thought he had texted us once and never heard back, that he never bothered to follow up with even a second communication, maybe a phone call or email (and we do know that he had our correct email addresses).

It appears that not only did Jeremy make some terrible choices in how he did business with us, but he continues those choices by trying to defend himself on Yelp by apparently not being truthful about how he handled things.  Like I said, I'm OK with being told sorry, I can't help you.  What I'm not OK with is complete lack of communication, made worse by his stated defense of I told you I couldn't do it which simply isn't true.  Had Jeremy told us that, we wouldn't be here on Yelp today.

Also, I find it interesting that his response to me is virtually the same as his response below to Henk D.

Buyer beware.

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.

John and Chris were able to eliminate my drain problem in a short amount of time, I had one of the other local companies here first, but they wanted 3x the money to fix the same issue! I'll definitely be using John and the team at Plumbing and Drain Professionals from now on! Thank you for taking care of my plumbing!

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.

First thanks to jack l woods for recommending them. I needed a new sump pump to street drain line. The quote was quick and totally  reasonable. It did take a couple weeks to complete due to a extra thick carport pad. Thanks to big b concrete for  taking care of that. I would take pictures of the work but that is pointless. They cut the sod, rolled it out of the way then did their thing.  They showed up a little before 8 and I had new piping by lunch. With as good as these guys were if they hadn't been chewing through maple tree roots they probably would have been done by 10. The best compliment  I can really pay is to say that they will be the first I recommend to anyone for this sort of work. I don't normally give 5 but there really is no room for improvement with these guys.

Overpriced, poor customer service, unprofessional and rude ownership, not worth the trouble and hassle. Better to call another plumber and save yourself a headache.
(See the not recommended reviews below as well - I missed them)

These guys came out under my AHS warranty and did an excellent job. I specifically requested this company after reading the reviews of the original company (The Water Solution,Inc) assigned to my AHS claim. It's not enough to have a home warranty these days but since I am a single female I have to do my due diligence to ensure that I receive that best service and do not get taken advantage of.

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.

If you are in need of a plumber, please give them a call!  They are highly professional, do not push to fix anything that doesn't need to be fixed and have extremely reasonable prices.  They were also able to get us on the schedule for 2 days after we called.  Everyone else was 2+ weeks.

They did great work! Replaced the drain pipes below the foundation of a building built in 1900. Took about 8 business days, which for the scope of the job was pretty fast. Communicated well.

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.

Mrs. B., 01/08/2016Edit

We are a military family and on a tight budget. I have home warranty to avoid any unexpected home repair expense. My warranty company first American hired T & R Plumbing located 3841 Richard Avenue, Grove City OH 43123, Mr. Rocky (the owner) to repair my garbage disposal. He made an appointment and never showed. I took a day off from work to be there and no plumber. I finally got ahold of Mr. Rocky (the owner and person who made the appointment with me) and he told me that he totally forgot about the appointment. So, we schedule another appointment and again, this clown never show or had the decency to call me. Again, I called and texted him and after constant begging, he sets another appointment. This time he showed, asked for the $65 service fee before he did anything and once I gave him the money, he proceeded to check the garbage disposal (turn the switch on and off and loosing up something under the sink) and tells me that he will call me back Monday to set new appointment to replace the unit. He was barely 10 minutes in my home and left a mess in my kitchen and a non functional sink ( my sink is leaking water). Now I have a sink I can't used and no garbage disposal). Monday comes and no call or sign from this clown. Tuesday I called him and he never calls back, I called and left several messages and texted him and nothing. After trying and trying, I left him another message letting him know I was calling the warranty company and he then called be back . He told me that he was super busy and did not have the time to deal with this, after begging and pleading , he agrees to set an appointment. No surprises, he never showed. Again, calls and calls and he sets another appointment (the last appointment was 12/21/15 (4 days before Christmas). the appointment was for 12/21 between 1 and 4 pm. I texted him the day of the appointment to remind him and called him. Well, 4 pm came and went and no plumber (he is consistently unreliable), I called him at 4 pm and asked him where he was. called him again and finally got ahold of him around 5 pm, and he told me that he was in Dayton and had 3 other service call ahead of me and he will get to my place when he get there. My place is in Blacklick, Columbus and he was in Dayton and was still in the middle of a service call with 3 more service call ahead of me and it was already after 5 pm. He told me that he wont be able to get to me (again) and if I did not like it (he used foul language which I wont repeat here) , i can F**** call the warranty company and them send someone else.
The original service call was placed mid-November 2015, it is now January 7, 2016 (over70 days) and I have no garbage disposal and a sink that is leaking water. The warranty company already paid him for all of the work and they cant do anything but have this absolute irresponsible and scammer plumber finish the job which he hasn't. Please avoid this scammer, he is the worst plumber I have ever had the misfortune to deal with. He is a scammer and created more repair problems than was originally needed. I lost several days off work, the $65 service fee and the use of my sink and still no garbage disposal. If I could give him minus 1 star, I would, too bad the lowest option here is 1 star. This Mr. Rocky is the worst plumber ever.
