Best Gas Water Heater Installation in Lincoln NE

Cory is awesome! He did everything he promised and more. He knows good customer service and isn't going to charge you as much as the big name companies. He is fair and professional. I will only call Certified Plumbing for my plumbing needs moving forward!

If you're looking for a certified master plumber I highly recommend Freddy Bienka IV with Fast Freddy's Plumbing. We were in the process of a kitchen remodel but couldn't get kitchen shutoff valves to work. Freddy's came out within 24 hours and put new ones in for me. Great customer service and support. I will definitely hire them again. Thank you guys!

We had a sink installed. It was a tricky installation. Now I will say the guy that came out was quite scary looking but he did a great job.  Additionally the bill was about 1/2 of what many of the big named plumbers in town would have charged. I will use them again.

Bryant's plumbing department is as good as they get. Totally trustworthy and honest. We've used them for after hour calls and new construction. Always very pleased.

Very highly recommended. Mike is a pleasure to work with and really knows his stuff. Prompt and professional, he's my go-to plumber now for all my home and work needs!

My kitchen sink was clogged on Christmas Day 2019, and the day after I contacted Mark's Plumbing. The plumber arrived in good time and was very pleasant. However, when he left, after snaking the pipes, the water only trickled and took overnight to drain away. The plumber stated they would deliver a solution to open up the pipes for complete drainage. My daughter was diagnosed with flu, and we were in quarantine. So, I offered for them to leave the bottle on our front porch. We checked every hour, as I was desperate to have a working sink. I called back that day, since the solution was not there. The next day, the same thing - I checked constantly and made repeated calls. On the third day, I spoke with the main plumber, who assured me that he had delivered the solution, but I informed him it was never delivered. He said they were just too busy and would not be able to return for several days. I was billed $215, and the work order stated the sink was mostly draining and a solution treatment was completed. None of this is true. I will pay the amount, because small claims court takes too much time. But, NEVER use Mark's Plumbing.

Apparently the owner, James, makes a habit out of setting up service for himself using his company's name and then bailing when it comes time to pay. Sounds like an almost identical situation to the other review left here. He dropped an item off for service, then had multiple excuses for the delay in picking up and paying for the item when it was ready. He would eventually ignore all attempts of contact and abandon the work without paying. I'm sure he wouldn't appreciate the same actions towards his small business, yet it appears that is how he often conducts himself at others'. Pretty slimy behavior, I would never recommend using his services based on his character alone, regardless of the quality of work produced.

I would give them zero stars if I knew how! Where to start? he DID respond quickly to my emergency call that my water heater was leaking (this was on a Sunday afternoon), the young man was prompt, and kept in phone touch as to status of how long it would take him to pick up parts and get to the house. However, once there he made a horrible mess in the furnace room, while draining the water heater he flooded the furnace room, which shorted out the circuit board in the furnace that turns the fan on when the air conditioner is running. It was one of the hottest days of the year and I now had a flooded furnace room, a non-working water heater AND no air conditioning . The floor drain was stopped up, and apparently it didn t occur to him to stop draining the water heater and address that issue. He even had to ask me for a plunger (what kind of plumber doesn t carry one?). THEN he tracked water and dirt all over the carpeting going back out to his truck.

Bringing the new water heater in, the door didn t open wide enough and rather than let me open the other door (french doors) he tried to force he hand truck through, nearly breaking my door. I had to yell to get him to stop trying to force the door wider and let me try to get it open for him.

Finally he did get the water heater installed, and it was installed well. Apparently, knowing that the drain in the floor wasn't working it didn't occur to him to either let us know or to fix it properly. I awoke at 3:30 in the morning when the security alarm went off because there is a water sensor in the furnace room - the room was flooded AGAIN. While the water was not coming from the water heater he installed (it was coming from the water softener which drains water into the floor drain during it's cycle, it did force me to call him a second time to fix the floor drain problem. In all fairness, he did come out at 2:30 am to fix the drain.

The second flooding was even worse - broke the air conditioning AGAIN and I spent the rest of the morning cleaning up the second flooding problem that NEVER would have happened if he had just done the job right the first time. I will NEVER call this plumber again, the cost in clean up of the flooding and him tracking water all over the carpets and the cost of the repairs needed to the furnace far exceeded the promptness and good job he did installing the water heater.

UPDATE 8/25 Several weeks later I realized he used my shop vac to try and suction up some of the water. He didn't tell me, & didn't dump the water.  I went into the furnace room due to a foul odor & realized that the shop vac was full of nasty smelling water.  I tried cleaning up the vac, but it was damaged from all of the water sitting in it.  So in addition to the water damage he caused, I also had to replace my shop vac.

My main line was backing up because of tree roots and needed it cleared out. They post online that this service is $200 for the first hour and prorate the hourly cost after that at $150. The techs were at my house (pulling up and leaving time) for 59 minutes (found the footage on my doorbell camera). BUT we got billed $300! They state because of the 7-minute drive time they went over the hour and only prorate by half hour (so the bill is still $25 higher than what they post online)! So, I got charged $100 for a 7-minute drive! This is not right, and a very poor business practice. Because of this I will never use the company again or recommend them to anyone. The service itself was fine, and they got everything done as expected (left a mess but I can look past that). But to charge $100 for a 7-minute drive I cannot look past! STAY AWAY
