Best Businesses in Ohio

I am very pleased with the efforts of Eaton Plumbing. They were quick to respond to my needs and handled everything very professionally. Max was honest in his assessment and I feel his prices were fair. We will be using them again for future plumbing needs.

I think not best at all.  They installed a toilet fill valve assembly which failed in 8 months.  When they returned to look at the leaking toilet, they said they only back their work for 30 days.  

Buyers beware.  You can find plumbers who back their work for longer.

After a cold winter night we had some pipes burst in the home as well as a shower valve break. I woke up to water flooding my home's add on room and water basically raining from the basement ceiling. We gave these guys a call and they had sent someone with just a couple of hours (which is great considering how many other people might have experienced the same things and reached out to them that day). Mike and Shawn showed up and quickly identified the issue and was able to fix the problems very quickly. They had me taken care of quickly and the best part was the low price. Would def work with these guys again.

I had a frozen pipe situation in my home in January. It is a bi-level and the bathrooms are in the upper level. There were repairs done in the bathrooms and in the first level.

I called up this company and since they were available the same day I asked them to start fixing it.  I discovered their hourly rate was exorbitant ($87.50), but since he started fixing it, I thought I will let him do the job. It took him about 10 visits over more than a month to fix it and it cost me around $1668 from mid Jan to mid Februrary, 2015.

He did the last part of the job in extreme hurry. He did not put the toilet in the master bathroom correctly (hard to see from inside the bathroom) and he did not fix the leaking faucet (since it was dripping at the back - again hard to see) in the master bathroom. This resulted in water leaking into a space in the ceiling above the garage. But since I do not use that bathroom very frequently, it took me till April 2015 to notice that there was blackening in the ceiling of the garage, just below the master bathroom. Then I could trace back the problems.

When he was finishing up in February, there were other minor things that he did not finish properly - but I got so exhausted that I said I will take care of those small issues - like missing skutchings in 3 places, damaged paint at two places in the hall bathroom.

I have been trying to call him since April 2015. I must have called 50 times and sent 20 text messages over the last 3 months. I got hold of him only once in April and he asked me to call back later that day, which he of course did not respond. So right now, he does not even pick up my phone or respond to my text messages.

Being a licensed plumber, I thought I can rely on him for the job. Since I have paid him for the full job, I expected him to do it properly.

Fast, efficient repair done inside of 15 minutes ... located in old village Pickerington just south of Lockville and Columbus St .. the repair was done on a house on N East St quickly replacing J bend tube under bathroom sink ... we had struggled to fix it ourselves because one metal end was corroded and neither end had threads going into J ...total cost including J part was $89.50.  They showed up on day expected and earlier than expected with notification... excellent communications.

Recommend Jim Virgin, owner of J&S Plumbing.  Had a leaking shower valve, drip drip, drip.  Jim came in assessed the situation and promptly went into repair mode.  He ended up ripping out some of the pex line to remove the valve and retighten the fitting that was leaking.  He then replaced it with copper. No more dripping!. The price he charged for 2 hrs service,and parts was more than fair. Went out of his way to reassemble the shower hardware and test the system to look for additional leaks,. Thankfully none were found

We just moved in to a new house and called The Local Plumber. Trevor, he is a wonderful guy. Helped us with out plumbing issue, and was helpful in finding some other sevices too. He truly is local. He is a neighbor and a plumber. You can't do better. I highly recommend.

I've been using Wheeland plumbing for years now. They are the best!  They always show up on time. The rates they charge are very fair and the work is always great. Most of the times Dallas works for me. He's very professional and gets the job done. Great company!

Saved $1500 on a new furnace over the quote of two larger companies who advertise heavily. Great service and quick install.

Lydia is always so helpful and friendly! So nice to hear hear cheerful voice when i call them. Wonderful owner too!

Well, I wish I had read all these reviews before I wasted my money calling this company. I shouldn't taken my friend's word for it that this was a good company. For over a year we hadn't used the shower in the master bathroom because it leaked into the downstairs kitchen. We had access to another shower but finally we decided to bite the bullet and fix the problem once and for all. A plumber from the company came out, couldn't find access to the pipes under the shower so convinced us to allow him to saw a 1 x 1' hole in the soffit in the kitchen to discover where the pipes actually were. He then told us we needed a new assembly- whatever that means. I explained that rather than spend the money on a new assembly, we would prefer to replace the entire shower as well as any plumbing parts required, to prevent further leaking. The guy was in capable of giving us any idea of how much a new shower surround and base would cost.The man left, & I expected to hear back from someone. I thought at the very least they should have given us a written estimate of what the project would cost. Instead, we received a bill a few days later for $100. I called, asked what the charges were for, especially since we now had a gaping hole in the ceiling of our kitchen, and was told that $100.00 was what they were charging us for the service call. After making several more calls to get an explanation for why I was being charged anything, considering that they hadn't fixed anything but had put a hole in the ceiling, I received no more information.
What I find perplexing is that I hear people recommending Jack Woods plumbing all the time. Some of the people who recommend them are contractors. This makes me wonder whether Jack Woods is relying on years of accolades about their company. They certainly don't seem to be doing very well now.I feel like if they had had an experienced, well informed plumber visit our house, we might have gotten a quote and decent service. Nobody who works there seems to care about the reputation of this company.

This company is totally unreliable and rude in the process! Do not call them if you want good service.

Not a good experience overall. Free quote is great, but the plumber who arrived gave me a quote of $300 over what I knew I should be paying. When I told him so, he acted like I was nuts and told me if I could find someone to do the job for me at that price, I should go ahead and hire them. Done and done. Same day a competitor had a better unit in my house for $350 less.

I recently used Old Hilliard Plumbing for our leaky shower. I really liked them compared to the other companies we got estimates from. They completed the job under the estimate they quoted and were the lowest estimate of the three companies. When I let them know there was a problem after they left, they came out and fixed it free of charge. I will definitely use them again should I ever need a plumber.

I have used Plain City Plumbing multiple times and I love them.  It's always an emergency or last minute request and they have accommodated me every time!  Sarah in the office is always very pleasant and super responsive.  Today's emergency was a burned up sump pump.  They came out the same day and solved the problem.  They offered multiple solutions and I decided to go with a replacement based on the age of the existing pump.  I have always been very satisfied with their service and won't hesitate to use them in the future and recommend them to others.

We called to have them replace a sump pump that wasn't working. They had a tech come out to replace it, on May 28.  We thought everything was ok until my husband went downstairs, 2+ weeks ago and recovered our basement flooded from all of the rain we had during that time. Has incurred thousands of dollars due to, and I quote the owner of the business, he installed the wrong pump. the tech come back out, replaced the pump with the appropitiate pump. The techs response was you have too much water!

We are now in week 3 of this nightmare and have learned the damage includes our water heater.

this was our family room, that had over 25 years of furniture, my deceased parents items, etc.

Now, the damage includes our water heater.

On top of the original thousands of dollars in damage.

Wow.  Arrived promptly and not at the last minute of the time scheduled! Looked at the problem, determined the action to resolve and fixed it quickly without any interruption into my time.   I would reach out again for any plumbing service and highly recommend.  

Oh failed to mention.  Calhoun did work on my daughter's home which we are rehabbing.  It required a new stack, moving kitchen plumbing and replacing bathroom plumbing.   Its great to be able to support a local company and get good service priced reasonably.

This is a difficult review to write because I really want to have positive things to say about my business interactions with American Leak Detection of Columbus. The people I spoke to over the phone and the representatives who came to my house to assess my pool were very professional, extremely polite, personable, and quite friendly. My initial impressions were all exceptionally positive and honestly I still think highly of those people. I should also preface that my experience was skewed by a torrent of personal tragedy and loss faced by the owner of this franchise establishment so it may not be entirely representative of what other people can expect. All that said, ultimately my experience with American Leak Detection of Columbus was quite poor.

I had them come out to assess some fairly major damage a pool cleaner had done to my pool. I knew going into it that I'd have to pay about $300 for them to come out, assess the damage and decide if it was work they'd be willing to take on. They were very up front about it and it was money I was willing to pay given the nature of the damage. Things at this point were still going well. Due to some disputes with the insurance company of the cleaner who damaged our pool it took me several weeks to reply to their estimate and sign it for them. From there they needed to a second more expensive assessment costing me just north of $500. For all intents and purposes it seemed pretty similar to that first assessment except they also tested our skimmer line which also needed to be repaired. At the time this was an investment in getting my pool fixed and I was happy to pay it. However after this visit was when we started having problems. I waited two weeks to hear back from them again before calling to see if they had come up with a plan to repair my pool. They told me they'd been kicking around a lot of ideas but hadn't come up with a plan they felt was best for my situation. The circumstances of my indoor pool are such that I felt this was reasonable and I hoped to hear from them soon. I called again a week later to see if they'd made progress and this time I was told the owner was suffering from tragedy compounded by loss right as the holiday season was approaching. I'm sympathetic to this, I'd certainly be in no shape to handle business decisions under such circumstances myself, but part of the reason I went with American Leak Detection and paid their slightly high assessment fees is because I knew they were a franchise of a larger business and I assumed that meant to some extent that the larger American Leak Detection entity would be responsible. To have everything rest on the shoulders of one man to the point that they're unable to conduct business is a major problem for an entity the size of American Leak Detection.

Because of the situation with the pool cleaner's insurance company I was forced to pressure them a little for an estimate, flat out telling them that if they couldn't provide me with something I could present the insurance company I'd have to go with someone else. So they submitted the most basic possible bid with a slew of caveats about how they couldn't guarantee the work, that it may not be successful should they attempt it,  and some rather large mischaracterizations about the state of the damage to my pool. It seemed almost designed to drive away my business and ultimately I was forced to seek out another contractor which was an unexpectedly arduous process.

So I've paid upwards $800 to have them come out and look twice only to have them not do the work because they weren't capable of handing it. The whole affair has left a rather bad taste in my mouth and while circumstances may well have changed since my experience with them I'd certainly caution potential customers to think twice before engaging their services.
