Plumber said he'd double bolt do flange bolts would be secure. Did not do that on first toilet. I asked plumber to leave second toilet after he wanted totear out tile and concrete to reinstall a new floor flange. He asked stupid question about if there was crawl space under concrete. He claimed he wasn't there during original construction.
Description of Work: Reseal wax ring on one toilet. Used old bolts. Fired plumber on second toilet. Inexperienced and did not have proper parts and asked twice if there was a crawl space under concrete slab floor.

I was having a hard time getting hold of a plumber when the kitchen sink was not operable. The sink trap got broken when I tried to fix the drainage. Flowrite Plumbing answered my call right way and sent their plumber at the time they said they would. The plumber was courteous and professional. they charge $59 to come out to provide a diagnostics and an estimate, which is fair. But because we actually used their service this fee was waived. The sink is working fine.
Description of Work: Replaced the sink trap and clean the kitchen drain.

Flowrite Plumbing came out to help with our kitchen/half bath remodel twice. They installed a gas line for my new range and new water line for the fridge. They then returned when we had some unexpected trouble in the half bathroom. All communications and service with this company were professional, timely and reasonably priced. I would highly recommend them for any plumbing needs!

They didn't actually fix anything but gave us free and very helpful advice!
Description of Work: I spoke to this provider about a toilet issue I was having and after speaking with them for 20 min on the phone they verified I did not need their services and told me how to easily fix the problem myself to save money. They were honest and helpful and didn't try to charge me for something I didn't need. I will definitely be contacting this business in the future if I need service.

I would highly recommend Jimmy to anyone looking for a plumber. He mentioned to me that the majority of jobs he gets are by referral which I was impressed with.
Description of Work: Replaced my existing water heater. I was referred to Jimmy Vandivier at Flowrite by a friend. I was very happy with the installation. I felt comfortable with everything that was done. Clean up was great. He offered a plan to finance the work interest free for one year which I took advantage of.

It started out with a professional inspection of the job to be done and a very-well explained estimate. Jimmy and Nick showed up on time and went right to work. Not only were they very professional, but a pleasure to have working at the house. Everything was done neatly and they left the premises immaculate.
Description of Work: They installed a gas line from the meter to our fireplace, along with the necessary hardware for a gas log fireplace.

Jimmy tracked to the drainage problem from the kitchen to the garage. He snaked the drain in the laundry room, but ran into some trouble with size of the snake head, so Jimmy improvised a change in the snake head and snaked the drainage until the clog was removed. Prior to his work we were given an written estimate and an invoice at the end of the work. This was done within 45 minutes to an hour. We will use Flowrite Plumbing for our future plumbing needs.
Description of Work: We have two washers. One produces more lint than the other, causing the water in the drain to backup into the kitchen, laundry room, and garage. Flowrite Plumbing was called late 2/14 and arrived at our door at 8:00 am the next day with a smile and to work on our problem.

I was impressed from the start when Jimmy spent an hour with me going over my options, explaining the pros and cons of tank vs tankless and reviewing the potential new gas line piping layout. In the end I decided to go with the Navien brand as it had the best warranty. On the install date he got an early start at around 7:00 AM and was finished by mid afternoon. Afterwards we went over the various settings, how to use the control pad, and maintenance issues. The paperwork he left me included everything I needed to claim the federal tax credit for energy improvements. Perhaps the best endorsement I can make comes from my conversation with the city inspector. He stated that Jimmy was one of the few plumbers who actually had a code book in his truck and knew the various sections. The inspector also said that this install was one of the cleanest, most professional jobs he had ever seen. Coming from an expert that helped confirm that I had made an excellent choice by choosing Flowrite. This was my first time using Flowrite and I am extemely satisfied, Jimmy has earned my trust and will be the guy I call for all my future plumbing needs.
Description of Work: Jimmy Vandivier, owner of Flowrite Plumbing, installed a new tankless water heater for me. He took care of the permits and hauled away the old tank heater.
