Best Gas Water Heater Repair in Cleveland OH

I will remain a devoted customer to Buckeye Plumbing.  (a few years ago) They had facilitated a replacement well, which is never a good thing.  They were able to work with me and do some sort of financing.  Very pleased with the service we received.

Had a strange leak. John showed up and diagnosed it. It wasn't easy to diagnose but he stuck with it. Had to cut wall to verify and he was right on the mark. He explained everything and answered all my questions. I thought it was the shower. He said it was the sink drain. He was right

We asked for an inspection on downspouts. Very unclear as what the diagnosis was. My calls have not been returned. Some of the downspouts were left un connected and blew across the yard within 24 hours. The workers seem to be in a hurry to finish their day,

Our main stack had a large crack and needed replaced. Andrew and Tim were here right on schedule and did the job right. They were meticulous and careful to not create a mess. Andrew explained every step and also showed us some other potential problems but nothing to scary. I highly recommend Plumb Nation!

Anthony took the time to research my issue and called me back with the information that I would need to get the work done for free through the manufacturer. I was desperate to get my refrigerator back up and running so I would have paid for the service. He not only saved me the cost of his service call, but also gave me the correct guidance to have it fixed for free by the manufacturer. I received honest, top notch customer service and won't go anywhere else for service. Thank you Anthony!

Hired Geisel to install some fixtures and fix some mistakes another company made. Geisel got the job done, showed up when they said they would, and were respectful, friendly and knowledgeable. If you want it done right the first time - call Geisel.

If a business has only one review and it's a five-star, you might wonder whether the company (and the reviewer) are legit. Yes, this is a good company-- Allen is awful at sales and marketing.

Plumbing, he's terrific at.

I've used him twice. The first call was when the kitchen sink clogged. I tried plunging it-- and the pipes separated. I started calling vendors with high reviews at 8:30 and left messages.

At around 11:30, after nobody responded, I started checking listings I'd passed on. Parsons Plumbing (which didn't have any reviews) also didn't have a website. But it DID have a Facebook page. The latest post was We just got the logo painted on the truck!, which suggested he was new.

He had a couple of videos of work-- they seemed fine. Called the number and heard Hi, this is Allen. So I got his cell. Told him the problem-- also mentioned I had a sump pump in the basement that wasn't working.

Yeah, I can come out there today. Give me a couple of hours.

He was about 20 minutes late. But he was there same day. If you've dealt with plumbers, you know how rare that is. Also, the company is located in Willowick (Lake County) and I live on the southwest corner of Cuyahoga-- five minutes from both Lorain and Medina. Most vendors aren't willing to drive that far.

He and Ryan snaked the drain, and then had to figure out how to reconstruct it. (The plumbing, like a lot of things in the house, had been 'improved' by the previous homeowner, who was a contractor). It took some futzing with a Sawzall and some experimentation, but they figured that out.

Onto the basement. Decided they needed to replace the check (backflow) valve. They check the truck; turns out they'd used all the ones in the truck and forgotten to restock. Had to go to a store to get one. (While they were gone, I ran the dishwasher on rinse to see if they got the sink right. Yup.)

When was the last time you had the tank pumped? About three months ago. OK, this shouldn't be too bad. Visions of my 1,000-gallon septic tank emptying into the basement filled my head, but they needed only two buckets.

They charged about what other places would charge for two hours work. Very good, for a two-man, same-day visit.

Last week, I tried to take a shower and got cold water. The internet explained it was probably a bad thermocouple-- an easy fix for a homeowner. I decided to call Allen anyway. I called at 3:30. Told him I think me he could be out there the next day at 12:30 and asked me to text him some photos.

Next morning he texts me: I'm gonna be honest. If the tank is 12 years old, you might really want to consider replacing the tank, rather than throw money at it.

My first response was to say let me think about it. He replied I'll come out and fix the thermocouple if you really want, but I think you'd be better off replacing the tank.

I checked. Turned out 8-12 years is normal lifecycle. He gave me a flat price that was about $200 more than I'd paid in 2008.

He had to go buy a model that would fit my home, so it delayed the visit a day. But he was out next afternoon and got it done. Had to 'borrow' a wire hanger to clear a clog in the drain line; the tank was so filled with sediment that it took 35 minutes to drain. Also, he and Ryan had to muscle the tank out, because they forgot to load the dolly on the truck that morning. But he got it done.

Because I didn't recognize the brand name of the unit he used, and I noticed their warranty was six years (my old one had been 12), I quizzed Allen about both things. He explained the issues to my satisfaction. I checked the internet after he left-- and it turned out he was correct.

I'm going into the details (including the warts) to make it clear that it's a new company, with all that entails. Allen had been working for two large vendors for about a decade before he decided to strike out in 2018 (the year the business was founded is in its gmail address).

Yes, an established firm with 10 crews and a warehouse would do things differently. (There would have been a video on why Bradford-White water heaters are best). But those companies don't always return your calls. They often turn jobs down because they're busy. They usually don't get out same-day or next business day. And they don't like to answer questions. Not honestly, at least.

When you call Parsons Plumbing, you talk to the owner. He comes out on every job. He doesn't BS-- and he answers dumb questions (electrical and carpentry I know; plumbing I'm still hopeless on) patiently.

I've used half a dozen plumbers since I bought this house: some retired, others went under, others ripped me off or were inept. Parsons Plumbing will (I hope) be the last plumber I ever use.

We used VIP plumbing during a major home renovation and throughout the whole process the entire team was professional, skilled and timely.  They were immediately responsive to any follow up requests as well.  Recently we experienced major issues with our sewer line and the team responded to both situations within an hour and worked diligently to repair and replace a 60 year old system that presented many challenges without a glitch during rain, snow and tons of mud.  My husband and I have appreciated their hard work throughout all of our projects, I can't say enough positive things about the entire crew and we have worked with every single team member.  Thank you VIP for getting our home in top notch shape and taking such great care of us!

So...
Had a hot water heater issue. After a few visits we figured it all out. It took two visits due to Jamal trying to save me money as well as my older house had some very confusing pipes (hence why I called instead of YouTube university) causing the issues to be multiple things and hard to pinpoint.

The negatives a bit pricey and hard to schedule. My reasoning your paying a little extra because you get extra. The service was perfect, Jamal wasn't rude about me hovering to learn or was he aggravated by my suggestions. He was upbeat knowledgeable and patient, because I'll admit I'm very inquisitive when it's something I don't know. So price is offset by service. I can't blame scheduling on them either I called the day before Christmas so that's my fault as well. I only mentioned it because some places who don't care about there employees as much would rush some one over. So it's kind of a plus in my eyes.

Positives. Everything... if you're in the Cleveland area and don't mind a little extra for a ton more service you MUST CALL these guys first. I'm not a major 5 star guy I cap at 4 unless your exceptional, and these guys are.

Had a furnace cleaning scheduled this morning, and they never showed. I called to see when they were coming and left a voicemail. I still haven't been called back.

We were made to use these plumbers from our home insurance to fix 3 low pressure faucets. 2 technicians came. One technician fixed the 2 faucets with no issue. However the other technician Kevin in trying to asses the low pressure issue with the kitchen faucet proceeded to snap and break off the pull-out spray handle using Channellock type pliers. If that was not enough he then allowed the spray hose to fall back into the main unit spout where it became stuck. He then spent 30 minutes using needle nose pliers and a flathead screwdriver in a futile attempt to retrieve the broken off connector and spray hose, scratching up the main unit in the process. Eventually he gave up, declared that he broke it, and that the company will cover the cost for the same or comparable brand model. The model is discontinued from the manufacturer. We contacted the owner/manager TOM who never apologized, WAS VERY RUDE TO MY WIFE, NEVER RESPONDED TO MY PHONE CALLS OR EMAILS and sent in a fraudulent report to our insurance that this is normal wear and tear. KEVIN BROKE IT BEFORE KNOWING WHAT THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM WAS. Our insurance will cover a basic and cheapest replacement unit. TOM and Axis Plumbing refused to cover the difference for the comparable model despite us reaching out to him through phone and emails. Tom is knowingly lying to the insurance protect his own interest which is FRAUD. We spent $75 for the service call for them to break our faucet and now we have to buy a new one for their mistake. TOTAL COST OF THEIR MISTAKE APPROXIMATELY $1000.

Do NOT ever use these plumbers. Late to appointment, extremely arrogant, broke our property, now refusing to fix it or make it right.

Attached are photos of KEVIN breaking our faucet, the broken spray handle with damage to the main unit, and the last photo showing a non-broken, working spray handle from our matching other unit for comparison.

I just replaced the washer and dryer in my Mom's house; when we ran the first load, water backed up on the floor. Called (based on a recommendation) to ask for help.

We might be able to get someone out by Friday.

It's Wednesday, so this is a problem. Can you recommend someone good who might be able to come out quicker?

I couldn't tell you how busy anyone else might be.

Could you give me a name?

I'm down a plumber, I have to go, I'm sorry I can't help you.

Needed an inspection done asap and Anthony was great!  Highly recommend is company for your HVAC needs!

the owner of this business and I had a verbal and written agreement for Payment for installing a hot water tank. Upon completion of the job the owner continually harassed me via text message for payment. We have had extensive conversations prior to him coming to the home to complete the job regarding payment. Payment was made prior to the agreed-upon date. After payment was made the owner of the company refused to respond to questions regarding warranty on his work. I would not recommend doing business with this company. Unprofessional and unresponsive.

Called them to replace a toilet at a rental that was not working while I was out of town. No call no show TWICE! To make it better the following week (out of town for a wedding again and probably more than I would be able to do myself anyway) downstairs tenant had a leak coming through the ceiling call about 10 plumbing places on Saturday 4 pm and they are the only one I can get ahold of... reluctantly I decided to give them another chance and made it known the previous week they were a no call no show.. someone was supposed to show up between 10 am and 2 pm... I called 3 times throughout the day, Noon was told someone would be there around 2. I called again at 2 and they said they were finishing another job and we're headed there shortly, I called again at 3:30 and again got that someone would be there shortly. Save your time and call someone else bc they won't show up anyway.

In fairness I have to say I've never got to work with them, but really loved their work on Yelp pictures and was excited to hire them. I called them and never heard back and it's been over a month ago so that's why I answered this way when asked about my reaching out to them....

The worst company I ever worked with!!!
He promised he will be in our house 9 AM Monday and when i call the afternoon he asked me why is this Monday? Than promised for the afternoon and after NO show for the next day, but never showed up or even call back.
Great business!
