Best in Buffalo NY

Update: Plumbers came out ASAP. Emergency situation arose from an accidental, unforeseen, toilet supply line bursting on my second floor master bathroom. Discovered at 4 AM nonetheless! Not what you want to wake up to out of your sleep! I thought I was having a very bad dream, but unfortunately this was very real. Water everywhere on the bathroom floor, ankle deep. A burst supply line squirting water uncontrollably. A shut off valve for the house in the basement that would not turn off. Maybe rusted or corroded over time, unknown to me.

This escaped water from the toilet flooded my first floor kitchen ceiling and walls. And that is now a whole other bigger problem - water damage to drywall that needs to be remediated. Not fun. A headache, expense and inconvenience that will take many days or weeks to resolve. Ugh.

These plumbers promptly changed out the toilet supply line in both my bathrooms, and also installed a new service valve for the house. Nobody calls a plumber at 4AM for planned projects. But when you need fast, efficient, professional plumbing help, like I did, these plumbers will take care to help you and mitigate water damage on your property. I'm so glad I called them. They know what exactly to do!

Initial review: Trouble shooted Plumbing problem over the phone. Plumber was able to determine problem with a call and texting of some photos. Knowledgeable, efficient and very professional. Will update review soon, issue is being worked on at the present time.

Combat plumbing came thru once again!! We woke up to a leak underneath my bathroom sink this morning. I was able to book an appointment with Combat plumbing immediately. The service was prompt, courteous, and thorough. This is the second time I have trusted Combat plumbing for my plumbing needs. They have done excellent work on both occasions! Thanks again Combat Plumbing!!

If I can leave no stars I would.  I'm not one to leave reviews but I feel I should look out for others beware.  The owner Kevin seems to be a very arrogant guy.  For a business owner I expected someone with a little more professionalism tried getting him to do a job a couple months back still haven't heard back from him.  Don't waste your time, terrible service.

Lightning fast response time, very professional and polite  staff. They would not enter the house with out protective booties. They took the time to explain every step and multiple options with the cost involved. More than fair pricing. Very impressed will definitely use in the future.

I have been working with Frank Alessi for years and he is an excellent plumber. He's reliable, knowledgeable, and honest.

It's nice to know I have a plumber I can count on.

I've been a carpenter for 40 years and I've used SEVERAL plumbers in the past.  I'm absolutely impressed with everything Huron plumbing has done for my company and the biggest compliment of all..... Huron plumbing is the ONLY company I trust in my home! They are extremely professional, courteous, punctual and will go out of their way to meet your needs. My overall experience has been nothing short of amazing, from the hard working office staff to the highly qualified plumbers they employ. I would recommend Huron Plumbing to anyone looking for the best in the business!

This was my twelfth estimate I received for replacing my broken furnace, and it was the FIRST that did NOT provide a free estimate.  Furthermore the fact they charge for an estimate was not disclosed when I called.  Given that the other eleven estimates were free I would believe it is an industry standard and when an estimate is not free it would make sense to disclose that prior to getting the estimate.  

I immediately called the office and was told that they do not in fact provide free estimates, and they were sorry they did not provide that information previously.  Now, this business is joined with US Veterans Construction Service which is the reason I called in the first place.  Being a veteran myself I always give other veterans the business when I can.  When I mentioned this I was put in contact with the owner whom I was told is a disabled veteran.  The owner said he would give me credit if I went with his estimate, but would not refund the charge despite being a veteran myself.

Even if this was the lowest estimate I would not go with this business because there was no free estimate, no disclosure of this, and the owner would not give a fellow veteran a refund.  On top of this, the man who came out could have been an expert in the field, but he was less than personable and hardly enticed me to put this place at the top of my list regardless of the price.

I guess veteran brothers aren't as tight as I thought.  Happy Veterans Day.

We have had a terrible experience with this contractor .  They sold us an expensive , supposedly premier air conditioner for our house.   We have had it for 8 years and it has stopped working twice, costing hundreds of dollars to repair.  After the last repair we were told it may not last another two years.  These people did NOTHING for us.  They took no responsibility for selling us this defective product.  Charged us full price for all work done .  Do not work with them .

Top notch. If you have a problem ask for Chris to fix it. He's awesome! Can't say enough about their quick response and total professionalism.

I called because the hot water kept going out in both of my showers with my tankless water heater. The first plumber couldn't find an issue. The problem continued so I called again. The second plumber blamed it on the water and told me that I needed to install a whole house water filter and descaler along with new shower heads and bathroom faucets. He threatened to void the warranty on my tankless if I didn't do the installations. $8000 later, I had somewhat improved water pressure (not the issue I called for) but the problem was still there. It was actually a little worse because now the kitchen faucet hot water also was going out. I called again and insisted it had to be the tankless and explained that the kitchen water was also now affected. Was again told I was wrong and that I needed to replace the valves on both bathtubs. He even was going to give me a break and only charge $550. Two holes in my walls and two unnecessary valves later, the problem was still there. Fortunately this work was done by someone astute, who checked the tankless for an error code and found one. It was a dirty sensor which he cleaned and the problem resolved. It was still under warranty so it would have been a no charge repair in the first place. $8550 later, my daughter's fall tuition gone and no apology, no offer of any restitution. Will I call Duffett again, I think not.

Don't call this company if you have a real plumbing issue. I had a mainline blockage through the basement; water was draining very slowly. I called Bryk & Sons. After less than an hour of trying, they got stuck and pulled back out, saying the pipe was broken. They didn't solve anything and didn't stay very long, but still charged $250 - ridiculous.  I could've failed for free.  Their estimate to replace part of the pipe was almost $7,000.

I then called Roto Rooter, who said they wouldn't charge me if they couldn't get the water flowing.  They too determined something was off in the pipe, didn't charge me when they couldn't get through.  Their estimate was almost half ($3600), and I decided to go with them.  When they came back, they got the job done in one day and the water has been fine since then.  Obviously, I'll know who to call next time, and who to never call again.  Still disappointed I wasted that $250, but I would've wasted much more if I'd stayed with them.  If you're thinking of calling them, save yourself the aggravation and try someone who won't rip you off.

This place preys on single women. They try to tell you that you need a brand new conditioning unit when all you need is a $40 part. *I know this because this is exactly what happened to me.* they told me i needed a brand new $3800 air conditioning unit .  I asked why can't i just have the part replaced  ( a new fan blade) and they told me the part was discontinued and they couldn't get the part. The woman at the desk (apparently the OWNER ) told me she called ALL of her distributors and she couldn't get the part. She also would not disclose who her distributors were when I asked.
I looked up the part myself, found it online for $40. It was shipped next day air.  I installed it myself in 15 minutes.
This place LIES to you !!!!! I wish I could give them 0 stars - but this site won't let me.

Have used in past with out issue. Today have full house back up, called hours ago and made emergency appointment. Appointment between 3-5 today. Very happy with that.

they call at 2:30 and inform me the appointment has been moved to next Friday. Like that would be ok with anyone. And then made some statement that discounts offered do not apply.

promply hung up and will never call again. The thought of trying to find plumber now at 3 pm. When I called them around 10 am.  They stink big time!
