Joe repaired our leaking jacuzzi. It took quite a bit of detection to locate the problem but Joe never gave up. He installed a new toilet as well. I will always call W &W Plumbing for any future problem I have.

I have been using Drain Openers for more than 10 years now. They are wonderful!!! They are always prompt getting to the job, very courteous and their pricing is always fair. The quality of work is superb and I have recommended them to many others over years with no complaints from anyone. Dave and Tina Swisher are the owners and the two men that usually do work for me are Jeremiah and Mike. You can't go wrong with this company!!

Called around for the best price for unclogging a basement floor drain and getting rid of a gawd-awful smell coming from it. Macon was the lowest, so Tony came out the next day. He says he removed a hideous, unidentifiable object from the drain and the water flow is clear. I called him back five days later because the smell was still there. He advised we flush bleach down the drain. We poured four gallons of concentrated bleach down the drain over the next four days. However, 12 days after Tony was here, the smell is still there.
Price: $95.00.
Result: I'm calling Roto-Rooter later today to see what they can do.

We had slow drain lines to the street and given the house was nearing 40 years old opted to have them replaced vs snaked. Chapman came out quickly and provided us with the best quote. They worked very hard and got the job done. I'm so pleased with the drains and don't worry about heavy rains anymore. Best feeling!

We have used the same plumber in Reynoldsburg for 30 years. This year, I decided to try a new company despite not having problems with my regular plumbers. A clerical mix-up on the correct arrival time caused a minor delay but no tragedy.
The plumber arrived in very good spirits & with very good customer relations began to diagnose the plumbing issue. After promptly solving one issue he began work on a secondary issue to replace a bathroom sink elbow pipe. Problem was, he had no correct parts on his truck. Issue #2 will be skipped. We were disappointed the proper part weren't loaded on a plumbers truck but again, no tragedy.
Rates are competitive for the industry. The plumber to customer attentiveness, and verbal skills were well above average. No creepy weird guy shows up with plumbers butt, just a professional well spoken business man. Kudos guys!

Lisa is helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. We needed two lavatory faucets and were only interested in single-handle, small, retro ones, which really limited our choices. Lisa was all over the showroom getting samples. She also took them off the display racks and inserted them into a bathroom sink so we could see them in context. We really appreciated her help.

I had three other people come and give me estimates for a piece of broken sump outlet pipe in my yard. Someone came out from the drainworks--already unfriendly to begin with--and told me it'll cost $195 to camera the outlet pipe before he could give me an estimate. Hunh? I have three estimates already and two on the way. Acted annoyed that I wouldn't pay the $195 and drove off. I called to make sure this was their policy, and, basically, this is right--they explained they could only do an estimate for a total replacement if I didn't pay them the $195 to do the same thing I had been charged $0 so far. Three others have given me repair estimates already! Ironically, another estimator actually was waiting for the DW guy to leave and he actually started pulling out a camera right away. After I described what just happened and that I wouldn't be paying him, he stated that, no, they did that as part of their process for actually getting the job--which is totally what I would expect! I'm not paying $195 so that you can give me an estimate--you give me an estimate so that you can get the job! Pathetic!

My wife and I moved to Plain City in June and needed a plumber for a water heater leak. We like to use local companies when possible and found Foust. We called and got an appointment setup the following business day and our issue was a non-emergency. David was the technician that came to the house the following day and he did a great job throughout the day and went from leak inspection to installed & fully functional water heater the same day. I recommend Foust - they did a great job for us.

We had a couple of issues in a two week period and both times, Tony from The Service People came out to help us out of our jam. The first time was when water came gushing out of our recessed lighting fixture over breakfast over a weekend. By later that same Saturday afternoon, Tony came and diagnosed the issue and fixed the likely culprit: the toilet. He replaced the seal and we've had no problems since. Not even a week later, the pilot went out on our water heater and we felt really lucky Tony came out again to diagnose the problem. We got a new replacement water heater in a matter of days and are super happy with the level of service and attention that he gave us. We feel better knowing that if there's an emergency, we'll be taken care of. Thanks so much, Tony!

The technician that came by to inspect our external water pips for any leaks, arrived in the scheduled time frame. He was courteous, professional and friendly. He was very thorough in his inspection and gave us a very thorough brief on his inspection results, which ultimately provide us with enough information to make an informed next step. Thank you!

If you are in need of a plumber, please give them a call! They are highly professional, do not push to fix anything that doesn't need to be fixed and have extremely reasonable prices. They were also able to get us on the schedule for 2 days after we called. Everyone else was 2+ weeks.

This is going to be a bit long, but the situation warrants it. On Saturday, April 28th, I went into our basement and discovered the sewer backing up through our floor drain. I have never had to call a plumber before and clearly didn't have time to research so I called the plumber closest to our home: Mr. Rooter. They said someone would be there within the hour and, mostly on time, someone showed up after an hour and a few minutes. Aaron H. was odd and bit off-putting but, whatever; there was poop in my basement. Aaron got his camera out and fairly quickly discovered that the previous owners (we've been there less than a year) had been flushing SOMETHING they shouldn't have. My theory is Depends, but that's a story for a different day. He says that he can't push the clog through and we'll have to schedule a different tech to come out with a different machine to blast it with high pressure water for $1000. Obviously, this wasn't good news but so far, so good on the company's part.
Aaron gets a new cap for our pipe out of his truck and discovers that the new one doesn't fit because the rim of the old had sort of rusted to the pipe and was stuck in there. He asked my husband for a hammer and chisel ...what? That alarmed me slightly but I decided to remove myself from the situation because I'm not always the kindest under stress. I don't know if my husband ended up giving him the tools or if he got something from his truck, but Aaron removed the stuck piece and let my husband know we were good to go. My husband went downstairs to check things out and ... there was a hole in our pipe. It wasn't leaking before, so it wasn't there before, and it was right near the opening that Aaron had just been hacking away at, yet Aaron hemmed and hawed and didn't want to take responsibility. First, he said that there was no way we could know that hole wasn't there before (ummm ... we had been down there all afternoon, staring at this pipe), then he said that when pipes get rusty, they get holes (right, but you slamming away it probably didn't help). Aaron eventually offered up his boss's cell number but was very nonchalant about the whole thing.
Aaron left and my husband immediately called Mark, Aaron's boss and the owner of this branch. Mark was a little wishy washy and uncaring too, but we tried to give him the benefit of the doubt; it was Saturday evening, he was home with his kids, and this wasn't a call he wanted to get. Mark said he would come to our house on Monday, April 30th, which he did. Long story short on that end, Mark agreed to send someone out to fix the pipe and do their best to push the clog along without the water hose, mostly because they were going to have to cut into our drywall to get the machine into the basement. We set up our appointment for Wednesday, May 2nd, between 4p and 6p.
At 5.30p, on May 2nd, we got a call that they were a bit behind but would be onsite within the hour. A little after 6.30p, I got a call that they were still behind but this time, they would DEFINITELY be onsite within the hour. Around 7.45p, I called to find out what was actually going on and they said the same thing: we'll be there within the hour. At this point, I couldn't wait until 9p for a plumber to show up (if they planned on showing up at all), so I rescheduled for Thursday, May 3rd.
The first thing the tech, Nick, said on May 3rd was, I've tried to get a hold of Mark a bunch of times, but he never answered or got back to me. GREAT. I don't know much about plumbing, but Mark had promised our pipe would be replaced with a Y pipe; Nick had not been told this and Nick would not do this. He went to the store and got whatever part he needed (shouldn't that have been in his truck?) and got to work. He was able to push the clog through fairly easily, which I really appreciate, but also think is TOTAL bull, considering the THOUSAND DOLLAR LINE Aaron tried to feed us. He was also able to quickly replace our holey pipe with a new pipe, that was still not what we were promised by Mark.
All in all, this was an already unfortunate circumstance, which we didn't bring on ourselves, that was just exacerbated by Mr. Rooter. As much as I would like to give them big hurrahs for fixing our pipe, they broke it. And as grateful as I'd like to be that they could push the clog through without ripping a hole in our wall and charging us a thousand dollars, that was apparently a totally legit, normal, easy action that should have been done five days prior. 0/10, would not hire again.

I am 74 with special child 48, my experience with Chris Plumbing was Unprofessional and Chris DID NOT do any work, yet led me to believe he fixed my problem. 11-7-16 I called Chris Plumbing about water ring around toilet, Chris said he had a job shortly but could stop and give me a free estimate. Came in flip flops, and shorts, no paperwork,I took him to son's upstairs bathroom, Chris jumped up and down said I needed new floor wood rot. I told him I did not need a new floor as I had a new wood floor, toilet, sink, painted in less that two years ago, then Chris said he would take the toilet off and check everything out.
Came downstairs in 5 minutes said plumbing fine everything ok but had time to fix it. Went to truck came back with no tool box went up stairs.
Came down in 10 minutes said it would be $100.00, asked if I could take the discount listed on his ad, Chris said he already did that it was $100.00.
My son's caregiver was up stairs the first five minutes, came down went to the basement to get laundry, when Jim came up I was writing the check for Chris thinking Chris did work. I walked to the truck with Chris as he did not give me an invoice and I thought he would write me one, Chris reached into his truck and gave me his business card, no last name, no address, picture of a women and two kids, could hardly read phone #. Chris said he had been listed with Westland Messenger for years and if he get one complaint they will drop his ad, no need to worry gave 30 day warranty which I noted on the check.
Two days later On 7-9-16 I went up stairs to see if my son made his bed. There was water all over the bathroom floor, being by myself I put towels all over the floor. Went down stairs and looked up Chris Plumbing on my iPad. There was a review on Chris Plumbing back in 2011 almost the same as what happened to me, they said Chris said he would come three times to check out his problem and never came, with that I called another Plummer.
They came right away, Had to snake line, said bad blockage way down, they did fix my problem. If Chris did anything Chris would have found the blockage as well. They charged $114.00 but did do the work. I called Chris and told him I wanted my money back, he said he did not trust me, I hung up.
Sent Chris Plumbing in Galloway a CERTIFIED LETTER asking for my $100.00 they would not sign for the letter. I reported this to Westland Messinger and the BBB.
I feel Chris Scamed me when I told him I did not need a new floor, to take advantage of a 74 year old lady when all he would have had to do was snake the line blockage.
I tell my story so others may not be taken in 15 minutes, I feel like a fool, my son's caregiver told me he could not have done anything in such a short time, said people like this should be stopped. That is why I wrote this, it is the principle of thing, shame on you Chris.

DO NOT PUNISH YOURSELF BY HIRING K&D PLUMBERS. There are far too many honest, reliable, competent, and hard working plumbers for you to waste your money on this crew.
If you want to feel like a second class citizen, use K&D Plumbing. David and team were hired to do several plumbing jobs on my house addition. David's communication with me and my general contractor was horrible and virtually nonexistent. David would regularly not return calls / messages and failed to follow through on several critical items (i.e., permit coordination) that caused significant delays in the project. His failure to talk to the paying customer and follow through on promises also caused delays throughout the project. To cap it all off, David sent one of his plumbers to change out a natural gas feed line to a fireplace. His plumber had installed it previously, but his work FAILED the City's inspection. David regularly pulled his plumber from scheduled dates to fix this poor work. Upon completion of this last bit of work, David overcharged me by $95 for an hour of labor that his plumber did not work. He agreed to me not having to pay for the 1 hour his employee did not work on my job, but he never sent an adjusted invoice. In the flurry of paying several trades for their services on my home, I mistakenly overpaid David the $95 for the 1 hour not really worked. I contacted him quickly to notify him of the error, but he had already cashed my check. I requested a refund for that overage. He told me that he 'deserved' the extra money and refused to refund it. Eventually, he agreed to send me a $95 check. Well, that date came and went without me receiving a check or hearing a word from David. After a couple weeks, I again attempted to contact David to inquire about the money and refund. He told me that he has no intention of returning my money and that it was my problem since I wrote the check. There is a term for someone who makes promises and does not keep his word. There is also a term for someone who takes things, in this case nearly $100, that is not rightfully theirs.

Hired Rocky to do a plumbing rough in on a house we are building. Gave him $825 down payment of $3500 total. I paid for the materials. He sent 2 knuckelheads out to the house and they made a huge mess, spilled the purple primer everywhere, it looked like a 3rd grader did the job. Hacked up my floor joists. I had the inspector stop by and he said it would never pass inspections as they had toilets draining into the vent stacks etc... I asked him to deduct the 2 days they worked out there and refund the rest of my money. Never heard another word from him. Run 100 miles an hour away from this scam artist, he really doesnt have a clue.
