Description of Work: Air duct cleaning. They use less powerful suction than previous [maybe 10 years ago]. House was left with more floating dust than we expected. Price quite high. Used them about a year ago for a water leak under the driveway to the house and the tech did an excellent job at a fair price.

Don't call Bill Howe.
Description of Work: They were prompt but it was way to expensive and the toilet leaked and the plumber informed us it was due to placing a blue tablet in the toilet. Never had leaking problems before. I will not utilize their service in the future.

Description of Work: I had a leak in my crawl space from a toilet on the first level of our house. I had unsuccessfully snaked the toilet and the first plumber I called was also unsuccessful and he didn't have the proper equipment on hand to fix the problem so I called Bill Howe Plumbing. Because the job entailed crawling into a small space, they sent Louis who could get into that area. I did have to wait a day but when he arrived, he professionally handled our issue instantly knowing he had to go through the line through the garage and not through the toilet. Because I was stressed having to deal with a black water leak which leaked into our living space, I felt in good hands with Louis who got right to the diagnosing of the problem and then handled it quickly and efficiently.

We appreciate all feedback and view it as a way to improve and grow as a company. We would like to investigate further, but there is no description of work and the address listed is one we have not been to since 2003 for plumbing or heating. (deleted member name) is in our database from 2008, but at a different address. We would appreciate the chance to look into this with more information. Warm Regards, The Bill Howe Team
