Best Plumbing Services in Columbus, OH

Joe and George are great!  We had a days worth of grunt work that no other plumber wanted to do.  Joe fit us in and spent a day taking care of our chores.  I will be forever grateful for my dishwasher, laundry tub, filter and softener.  Would highly recommend them to anyone!

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.

Can't really comment on the quality of their work. I first contacted Chapman at the end of May and arranged for the work to be done mid June. Unless you are capable of waiting a very, very long time I suggest you look elsewhere

I did not get a chance to work with this company because they aren't open on saturdays.

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!

Unresponsive to repeated calls to find a simple part (sweeps) to shower doors that we purchased through them

Great company, Jeff the owner is honest and works very hard at the job.  They took care of my drains at a fair price and on time..

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.

We've had Tony and Matt come out a few times to fix various issues with our new house. Their quotes have been lower than the competitors, and each time they've gotten the job done quickly and effectively. I've found them to be upfront and honest about the problems they see - they will offer the right solution, not the solution that would take the longest and earn them the most money. Each time we've needed them, we've managed to schedule appointments within a few days. One time we needed to order a part, and it did take several weeks longer than they estimated, and I had a hard time getting in touch with them to follow up, but once the part came in we quickly scheduled an appointment and got the work done. They are definitely our go-to plumbers in Columbus.

If I could give negative stars I would. McAtee appears to be the main plumbing provider for my home warranty company. I have had the unfortunate experience to have the come to my home to fix 3 repairs now. The first, about a year ago, was to my exterior water line. Took almost a week because they did no have a pump to remove the water from the hole and had to wait for it to drain. Sadly, the same leak, in the same spot, happened again 3 month later. Then this spring I had issues with my sewer line and only needed to have my toilet snaked. They refused to snake my toilet, instead dug up one cover on my septic and said it was full and I needed to have it pumped. I told them it was done less than 3 years ago and the 2 men said it was common for them to fill up so quickly with all the rain we have been having. (I have a good sized leech field). So I called a septic company and they came out and there was really nothing to pump and come to find out, the line was just clogged, imagine that?!?! But this last time takes the cake. They came out last Thursday to fix a leak in my crawl space. They were here for less than 10 minutes. The young man left without checking things inside and not saying much. I went to use my sink to have brown water come out with very little water pressure. I immediately called McAtee and as usual, got their voice mail. I then called my home warranty company who managed to get ahold of them. I explained to McAtee I did not have use of my kitchen sink, downstairs bath or my shower, but other things were working. They sent their technician out who came into look at the water pressure. He first told me, the pressure looked fine and then said, to my face, he believes I am lying and this is a pre-existing condition and he excused himself to call his company. If this was a pre-existing condition, why wouldn't I have had my warranty company fix this too?!?! He refused to go and look at the work he did and although I tried to explain the facts to him, he said I was being confrontational and argumentative. But I guess that is how some people feel when you call out their shoddy work. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! They do not stand behind their work, are rarely on time, very difficult to get ahold of directly and have always done it wrong with the issues they have worked on for me.

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.

Tip: when you call, make sure to say it's an emergency even if it isn't. After waiting 5 hours for my first appointment I called and was told that they had a lot of emergency calls (and) that's why we haven't gotten to your appointment yet. They rescheduled me for a morning appointment another day and they were still 3 hours late.
The work performed was proper and all went well when they finally arrived. The office staff is very professional, but obviously need to re-evaluate their appointment policies.

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.
