Best Drain Cleaning in Kansas City MO

I am from out of town and needed a old rusted faucet, supply lines, and shut off valves replaced. I called Gene's Plumbing & Sewer Service on Friday, they said they could come out on the next day SATURDAY between 12 and 2 pm and gave a fair ball park figure over the phone. I said Heck Yes. They called me at 11:40 am the next day and said they were on there way. They were professional, clean, efficient and very fair priced. The job came out perfect and I didn't get down the floor upside-down and do all of the work myself. They did not charge me extra for the Saturday call. what a great company. THANKS GENE'S , you saved me time and money and a sore neck/back.! THEY SHOULD BE THE FIRST #1 ON YELP. I CALLED #1 AND THEY COULDN'T HELP ME TILL NEXT WEEK

A keeper.  I recently moved into an older home with a somewhat recently installed furnace.  The furnace had a bad exhaust fan so I called another company who came out and inspected it.  After charging almost $80 for the inspection they tell me they don't have the part to fix it.  So I called A&H.  The tech suggested that I contact the manufacturer to see if there was a warranty on the furnace and the company indicated the furnace was out of warranty.

A&H, on their own contacted the manufacturer on my behalf and pointed out that based on their records the furnace should still be under warranty!!  I ended up only paying for labor which I was glad to pay since the tech was a 1st-rate professional.  Not only that but A&H helped transfer the warranty from the original owner to my name.  

Blown away!

This company is an absolute treasure.

My shower handle broke at 7:15 in the morning and wouldn't shut off (my house water shutoff also wasn't working). I called Stine-Nichols in a panic wondering if I'd be able to make it in to work today.

Not only did they respond and follow-up immediately, they had a plumber at my house within 30 minutes. He was friendly, efficient, and thorough with his work.

I absolutely recommend Stine-Nichols for anyone with a plumbing emergency - not only will they respond and repair quickly, but their rates are VERY reasonable and fair, and their employees are friendly and helpful as they could be!

If you want fast service apparently leaving an email message on their website is a big mistake!! As they are really not 24/7 as claimed! I left a message on Friday never heard anything from them I called them at 130 Monday and it's not going to happen for me !! Obviously there is no minus star as that's what I would leave !!

This company is absolutely incompetent they said it technician to snake a drain out and he said that they could use the toilets the next morning when they woke up the basement was full of sewer water because he had not done the job properly and he did not stress test the drain after he opened it we found a massive route clog that block the drain even after he said he'd opened it which he did not cost $5000 worth of damage to the basement company not only charged us $350 for their work but refused to pay for the damages by the way they have a F minus rating at the Better Business Bureau

I called Rising Son after seeing they did remodeling work. Needed some plumbing lines relocated about 6 for a walk-lin shower remodel. Needed that and a new pan installed.

Two guys came out to do the quote. The owner, Earl's son and another guy named Adam. They looked at the job and gave me a quote to do the work. They guys were young, but seemed to know what they were doing. I told them I would call when the pan came in and get the work done.

While waiting, we had a water heater issue that I called them to correct. Adam came out and did a great job. At the end, Earl showed up. WOW... one of the most unprofessional people I have met. I felt he spent most of the time undercutting what Adam did, even though the job was sound. While there, they guys set up a time to come out the following Tuesday (a few days later) to do the other work we needed, since the pan had arrived. They both said they had nothing on the calendar that day, and Earl was standing there during the conversation.

Tuesday came and they were a no show. Texted them on the number Adam texted me from before.   Earl responded and basically acted as though he had no idea the other guys set the appt and threw them under the bus. This seems to be a theme on other reviews - especially the most recent!

Turns out Earl was unhappy with the price the two guys had quoted and in my opinion, had no intention of doing the job. Rather than be honest and ask if there was something we could work out, he evaded and put off the job again and again. I guess hoping I would go away. Kept saying things like, I am going to stand behind what my guys agreed to.

I did get someone else to do the job, but Earl and his unprofessionalism cost us weeks.

Turns out Adam and Earl's son are 18 year olds. Makes me a little sad that they are learning under someone who would rather alienate customers than keep his word. Learning that way to run a business will not bode well for their future. Currently I would still say those two are good guys.

My recommendation is to stay far far away from Rising Son Plumbing, and the owner Earl. There are too many choices out there to deal with someone this unprofessional. In business your word is important and character counts.

The young lady I talked to was so nice and kind and very professional, even when I called her the second time, because I was freaking out.  It was yesterday, Sunday, and others I had called were rude and one even said, Do you know it's Sunday.  The website had said 24/7.  I called her back and she hung up on me.  Anyway, back to Razor Rooter.  The young man who came out and very personable, very chatty.  He explained what he was doing as he was working, gave my son helpful hints, just very informative.  So impressed with this business.

WE WILL NEVER USE ANTHONY'S AGAIN!!!  We've been a loyal customer of Anthony's for years and will not longer use them again.  

We had them come out twice a year to inspect and assess our furnace and AC.  However, this last time  Angela, one of their techs, they told us that we needed to replace our furnace because it had several holes in the furnace.  At that point, they sent out their 'SALES REP to give us a quote.   $13,000.00. to replace our furnace and that was after our 10% discount.

After reviewing their video and NOT SEEING any holes in our furnace, we decided to have it inspected with 2 other HVAC companies who stated that it didn't have any holes and it didn't need to be replaced.  

Later we learned that ANTHONY'S techs are on COMMISSION and they try to scare their customers into replacing their units so that they can make more money.
SCARE tactics don't work on me and I argued with their sales reps and techs over the facts that we wouldn't be using them again.

I highly recommend that you DON'T use ANTHONY'S, unless you are desperate as they will attempt to SABATAGE your HVAC system.

Steer clear. They came out 3 different times to attempt to clear the same clog. No luck even with their magical scope. Total charge around $800. We had to have a different person come out to actually assess and fix the problem. This company is terrible.

I had a stopped up sewer.line zoom came out within one hour and technician gave me options and was very professional took care of problem cleaned up after work completed I will definitely use for all plumbing needs they even called next day to make sure I was happy thanks Zoom drains

Short Version: I encourage you to do a little more research and think twice before choosing True Blue.  One suggestion is to use someone like Anthony Plumbing who will cost more but at least you can take comfort in knowing it's done right, by highly qualified installers, and they provide 24/7 support. Most importantly, you'll know their owner won't say, tell her it's not that cold out tonight so they'll be fine.  What it meant we were without heat or hot water for 18 hours because ATMOS Energy said the gas leak from their installation was so bad they had to shut off gas to the house.

Long Version: While doing your due diligence researching companies before making a costly decision, you'll do like I did and read as many reviews as you can.  Unfortunately, you'll find examples of unhappy customers everywhere and consider True Blue's overall rating high enough so you'll think it will be fine. You likely save a little money with them, but you could also end up in the situation we're now in after a new tankless hot water heater installation.
After the installation, the True Blue plumber told my wife there might be a little condensation but nothing significant.  However, as soon as the first person took a shower, there was a significant flow of water which was pooling back into our wall.  The installer installed the drainpipe as a single PVC pipe straight down next to the wall instead of taking it to the floor drain.  Of course, the result was water backing up into the framing of the wall.  At that point, we asked for someone more qualified to come out and take a look at his work, and take the drain tube to the floor drain.
At that point it obviously wasn't a big deal and we thought we had peace of mind because they sent out their master plumber to inspect the work.
However, 9 days later we now have strong smell in our basement, and Atmos quickly found what they called, a significant gas leak from where True Blue rerouted our gas line.  Unfortunately, the leak was too significant, and they had to shut it off for the entire house.  All of this is exacerbated by the fact it's a Saturday and True Blue doesn't provide 24/7 support.  Because this is such a significant issue, the owner is called and I've already provided his response.  Bottom line, no one's perfect, mistakes happen, and stuff breaks but for me it's always about how someone responds in those situation which defines who they are as a company.

In the last year I've used R-Mech to install a tankless hot water heater, a whole-house water softening system, a garbage disposal, they've replaced a toilet and I just had them back out to replace all of the fixtures for a kitchen sink. They're always in and out quickly and do a great job and clean up after themselves when done. I wish I'd have known about them a couple years ago when I replaced my AC and heater in my home.

Leaving 4 stars because I feel like Taylor earned them on a previous visit and LuAnn is just nice as can be.  However, my most recent experience was less than stellar.  I wish companies understood that some people just aren't handy.. or some work 7 days per week and don't have time to spend hours working on things, which is why we hire people.  After having an appointment for one week, the day finally came for them to come out and fix our clog.  (And we had no idea if it was a big deal or small problem) He made several comments about how all it needed was snaked, and then he just told us to get a new fixture and not worry about it.  But I was surprised that he didn't even offer to come back and install the new one or help with that process at all.  He gave us the firm impression we were wasting his time and that was that.  Which, I'm sorry, but $215 for 20 minutes of work is hardly a waste for him -- more for us, actually, financially.  I might give them another shot some day, but I'll shop around first.

Booked 24hrs prior to needing service for a clogged floor drain. Given 12-4pm time slot the following day. Gave two valid contact numbers and verified. Supervisor came to consult on site day of. 1525hrs, called back location due to missed call, as the kstate game is on. Upon returning the call, However, CSR stated the second contact number said they weren't requesting service and cancelled service call. I'm the second contact, there are no missed calls. I should have looked at the Yelp reviews, as this is the lowest rated Roto Rooter in the vicinity. FYI, the primary contact stated The main contact number for the location comes up in caller ID as a BMW dealership, thus not picking up the call. CSR wasn't willing to resolve the situation, thus, the review.

The business is posted twice with slightly different names, but it's still the same crooked business.
Jay no longer works the field, he only handles the business side, leaving his less than reputable wife, and her mentally challenged son to destroy anything left of the reputation that Jays pluming had.

I hired them to replace my main water line, they were running average of all the bids.  They guaranteed that I would be satisfied with their service and were very professional.... That's a lie!!!

One of the crew propped open the truck door and urinated in my driveway! I have a 15 year old girl that lives across the street and several girls behind us! Let alone, it was in my driveway!!!
Their best employee was bidding out work on my house, for off the clock extra work. Their manager, Jays step son, threw his trash out in my yard, and when I said something his response was it'll get buried when we fill the hole! Not the point!
They filled the gap where the new line comes into the house with window caulking instead of seam sealer or plumbers putty, they didn't reconnect my ground rod to my electrical panel and left me with deplorable excavating! My meter well is 6-8 inches below grade and I had a super high hump in my yard because they didn't finish!
Then Jays wife came to my house and demanded to be paid! Hey finish the job first!  Let alone they broke the law and didn't seed the raw dirt that law required!

Stay away from them!
This is a terrible company
They go through employees like drill bits because they pay them or they short them. An employee can put a lien on your house to collect payment.
