Fantastic!! Found them on AL. Our water heater was leaking. We called 2 other places we have used in the past who either didn't answer or pushed us off and never called back. We called Black Mountain and they were there within the hour. We had more damage then we thought as it had leaked into a vent under the floor. Black Mountain to the rescue again. They took care of everything. They brought Gold Coast in and helped us take care of it all without a worry. This is the first home I have owned and I can tell you we will never use another company then Black Mountain Plumbing. They are the best.

We have a 4 unit Condo Complex and all units were complaining of low water pressure so I decided to call Black Mountain Plumbing due to their high rating on Angies List. John returned my call and was very considerate in fitting me in that same day. He stated he didn't want to give me an estimate by email until he knew for sure the issue. He came out and did a static pressure test and determined statically the correct pressure was coming into the building (50 PSI). But once he had me flush a toilet, with the system loaded, the pressure dropped to 15 PSI, which was unacceptable, and meant that the Water Pressure regulator was faulty. John at that point gave me an estimate based on completion of the job and not based on actual hours worked. The price wasn't cheap but has to account for some of the unknowns that can occur on any job, which I understand. John asked when I wanted to schedule the job and I stated today if at all possible. John then called his office to see if they had the 1 1/4" pressure regulator on the shelf, which they didn't. He didn't give up at that point. He requested one of the other workers to bring him some copper piping and 90's, and to go to one of their suppliers to pick up the required pressure regulator and deliver it to the work site. During the down time waiting for the pressure regulator and piping to show up, John removed the faulty pressure regulator in order to allow the pipes to leak out the excess water so it would be dry and ready for soldering. Once all the hardware showed up John replaced the pressure regulator in a professional and timely manner. He then went and verified the Dynamic pressure and made slight adjustments. John exceeded all my expectations getting the job done that day without leaving the premises. I truly appreciated his service. All the tenants are now happy and we owe it to Black Mountain Plumbing for a job well done. It's nice to know we still have companies out there that still care about their customers more than just the money. Thanks John.

Good morning Member, This is one of the best written reviews ever, my wife said ....best written, what does that mean ? Well, timeline, scope of work and mechanical references....its also nice that all is well in your building ! The PRV is the most likely problem and as such the first place to start if running pressure is substantially different than static, but sometimes there are other factors that also contribute to this problem ! Looks like yours was pretty normal an that's always a good thing. Thanks and God Bless, Scott Ferrell

We had a major problem on our hands. One that I had zero experience with. The receptionist who answered my call took down terrific notes and sent their tech who had the most experience with filtration systems as that seemed to be the culprit. That gave me much relief knowing we were in good hands. The problem was throughout the whole house. We actually had zero water flow suddenly flowing through one shower head. Then little beads flowing through another. Then, beads in the downstairs toilet. As if that wasn't enough, we then noticed half the water pressure at the kitchen sink. The occupants and I were shocked at how quickly so much of the plumbing was instantly disrupted. We were all puzzled and concerned over what had gone wrong. That is why I was so delighted when I was told that Larry would be out there that very day. As a matter of fact, because we had such a crises on our hands we were Larry's next scheduled visit! This eased my mind tremendously. Larry called when on his way, was curtious, and on top of the situation from beginning to end. He solved the problem like a pro. He discovered where the onset of the problem was and took his time explaining what caused it and what he needed to do to solve it. Once the job was approved, he began the job. Thank you, Larry, for working by the owner through the process, explaining the whole situation so thoroughly, and knowing how to solve this most complicated problem!! JOB WELL DONE!!!! Now that's service with a smile :) God Bless, Jody
Description of Work: The cap to the water filtration system was compressed so deeply that it punctured a whole in the mesh lining. This allowed the resin to travel through into the home plumbing lines. This seemed like such a major dilema to me; however, Larry was calm and knowledgable and explained that he would need to simply clear the lines by flushing the water heater, the shower heads, fixtures, aerators, sink, toilets, and hose bibbs. I said "Great! Let's do it!" After removing almost a 5 Gallon bucket of these beads from all these locations (approx 4-5 lbs) he had finished flushing the system. Hallelujah!! I have been using the services of Black Mountain Plumbing for a while. John, Larry, Kevin, & Salomon are all great. They have cleared toilets, sinks, tubs, repaired toilets, and more for me. Scott the owner is courteous and makes sure that the service was done to your satisfaction. As a property manager, I have been blessed by this companies service! Thank you, Black Mountain!!

Over the weekend I noticed a leak. I called Black Mountain and they walked me through what I should be looking for. They told me they could come out, although it would be at "emergency" rates, or to wait until Monday morning at 8am, it was up to me, but that it could probably wait. I really appreciated the honesty. Before I could even call them on Monday morning, they had followed up with me. They were at my house by 10am and everything was resolved in just a few hours.
Description of Work: There was a dripping from the second floor bathroom to the deck below. Someone had recently hit the fire hydrant on the street and they had been working with the water. The pressure regulator was not working and it was causing issues in a number of places (short term) in the house.

Hello, If the Pressure went up due to debris in the public water supply possibly caused by the sudden disturbance of the water system when the fire hydrant was hit i would call the water department and file a claim. This would be if your leak was in the pressurized side of your potable water system.And the Pressure Reducing Valve was compromised. Just a thought, Scott Ferrell

Kevin Baucum, the plumber on the job showed up 45 minutes early, got the job done before he was even supposed to arrive, and was on his way in very short order. No mess, no fuss and water restored to the house. I was literally fixed within 2.5 hours of making the call to Black Mountain Plumbing. Very satisfied. - best part was that he was wearing an optic-yellow work shirt.. I could see him from the next zip code over.

Larry called me in the morning of the install to give me a ETA. He and his partner Solomon arrived and gave me a written estimate. I agreed to the work and within a couple of hours had both heaters installed. They plumbed it in to our recirculating system and they did a excellent job. They gave me instructions on how to relight them if needed. I would not hesitate to use them again.
Description of Work: My water heater sprung a leak and I decided to replace both of them at the same time. I called and set up a appointment later on in the week.

Our kitchen instant hot water unit failed after only a few years of service. I called the manufacturer several times and each time was given the run-around by customer service reps who could barely speak English and said my unit was out of warranty. Larry from Black Mountain Plumbing came over and quickly diagnosed the problem as an obstruction inside the heater. He was punctual, polite, considerate and efficient. He called the manufacturer and wrestled with the customer service reps until finally they agreed to send me a new replacement unit for free! After it arrived, Larry came over again and in just a couple minutes we had instant hot water. We saved quite a bit of money using Black Mountain Plumbing. We paid $450 for the instant hot water unit including installation; the fee for Larry?s two visits was just $200 in all. Even more valuable to me however was Larry?s willingness to be a strong advocate on our behalf in convincing the manufacturer to replace a faulty unit for free even if it was out of warranty. I highly recommend Black Mountain Plumbing to anyone who needs superb plumbing service!

This company brought back my faith in Angie's List. We called them after Bill Howe stood us up. Not only was the young Kevin Bauchaum attentive and prompt, he was clear with locating the problem and offering an estimate. I figure that I should have gone to Black Mountain Plumbing first. He is working as I speak and I will finish this review when he is finished and the water is running, but it's nice to be reminded that customer service is not dead. I must remember that smaller companies have always been the best on Angie's List. Kevin is finished now and the work is complete. He has been a pleasure to work with and has been thorough! Thank you Black Mountain Plumbing for the emergency help!

Years ago we had called another plumbing company to change out the tub spout in our spare bathroom. That company broke the pipe in the wall and wanted to charge us to fix it. I refused and had them cap the pipe off. I called Black Mountain Plumbing because of their excellent rating. They did not disappoint. They showed up on time, got right to assessing the work, explained the charge, and got right to work. The young man, did a great job installing threaded pieces that can be changed in the future. After the new pipe was installed, he instructed me to replace the titles around the pipe and call again to complete the work. He even gave me advise on how replace the tiles. A few days later, the same young man returned and finished installing the tube spout.
Description of Work: We called to have a new pipe installed for a bathtub spout. I removed the tiles around the pipe. Plumber came and installed a new pipe and then returned on at a later date to finish putting on the tube spout.

It went very well. I used their 15% off Angie's coupon. Plumber's can be very expensive. Based on past experiences with various plumbing companies, I believe this price was quite reasonable, plus I enjoyed the discount.

Monday came and about 8:15am I was called. They said the plumber would be at my home between 10 and 2. He showed up at about 11 with the new water heater and began installation.Travis, the assigned plumber, checked the situation. Mine was a bit different since I have a solar panel and tank attached. He quickly figured out any differences and started the installation. Travis was friendly and answered all my many questions with no hesitation. He did an excellent installation job. He hauled away the old water heater and cleaned up after himself. I'm completely satisfied with Black Mountain Plumbing and the work performed by Travis. I would definitely use them again.
Description of Work: My water heater failed. Of course it was on the weekend. I did some research on Angie's list and saw Black Mountain Plumbing for listed as a good choice for water heaters. They had done some work for me before and I was happy with their previous work so I decided to go with them for the water heater. I was pleasantly surprised when I called Saturday evening and actually got a person to talk to. I was expecting a recording. They referred me the oncall plumber. He called me back after a short time and gave me the options available. I decided, based on weekend prices, to wait until Monday to replace the water heater. They told me someone would call Monday morning.

Very fast arrival time and thorough work. Do wish, however, that if a job takes less than an hour, partial hourly rates would apply, but understand that's not the norm. Did use Angie's coupon, which helped some. Would certainly use Black Mtn Plumbing again, but hope not to need them every week!
Description of Work: Had a 1st ever garbage disposal back up this morning, forcing water into both kitchen sinks. Tried some home remedies with no luck. Since we had used Black Mountain just last week (see prior review), called them again to see if it was possible for a service call today (didn't want to extend through the weekend). Plumber arrived in less than 45 minutes! Larry reamed the outside cleanout valve, snaked it, and he made sure the clog was thoroughly cleared before leaving. Gave us good advice on keeping the disposal clean and sharp.

Plumber was John, who arrived on time, completed the toilet install quickly and cleanly. The pop-up assembly was repaired (finish issues described above). He was polite, friendly, and reviewed the warranty thoroughly. We were happy with the work.
Description of Work: Had flooring installed, so needed toilet re-installed, along with a pre-existing leak at the sink. It was determined on the phone that we'd need a whole pop-up assembly. We mistakenly told the person the existing finish was brushed chrome--turned out to be brushed nickel, but we decided the match was fine, since we had several difference "silver" finishes in that bath.

Hello, That was a good solution, since the "single" lav faucet was Brush Nickle and Chrome accents in the bath it will look good, some faucets come this way and after the drain has had a little use it will look pretty much the same. Good plan ! Thanks for calling, Scott

Didn't know the price quoted didn't include the "$18" that is already printed on their invoice for the service call. So... It really didn't cost $49. It was 49 + 18 = $67.00. Didn't buy the house. Wasn't because of his inspection. But, he did do a thorough job. Thought he was very competent. I would have been really satisfied with the service if I didn't have that $18 surprise.

Hi Member, Normally we DO NOT charge $18.50 ( T.O.S.-This is cost on all jobs that covers the truck cost and is printed on all invoices ), we usually cross that out. The plumbers that usually conduct the home inspections were busy or on vacation. The Plumber that came I have known for over 10 years and just recently left his prior plumbing company to come and work here with us. We love him and it is our fault not his that he was unaware of the BMP policy we have to not charge the $18.50 T.O.S. on home inspections, glad he did a good job, he is very good and I have been trying to get him to come to our shop for years. My manager will be sending you a check for $18.50 If you have any problems or question with the invoices please call us. Scott

I used Black Mountain Plumbing for a plumbing issue earlier this year. I had a very good experience so I called them again. The experience was great again. I called in the morning to schedule an appointment. Larry (plumber) was there in the afternoon. Larry identified the problem quickly and was able to fix the problem right away. Larry explained the problem and showed me everything that he replaced. I would definitely us Black Mountain Plumbing again.

Larry was the main plumber on the job, and Solomon came over to help out for most of the time too. Their price quote was almost exactly what I expected, since I knew it was going to be a big job. They got to work almost immediately after arriving, which was only a few hours after I called to request their help. They had great coordination among their team, since other plumbers arrived very quickly with all of the necessary equipment they needed while Larry kept working. Without me saying anything, they worked as if their priority was getting the water supply turned back on to my house ASAP. They made good progress on the first day, getting the driveway section cut and jack-hammered to start the new trench. They also dug most of the trench in my yard on the first day. On the next morning, they dug underneath my front walkway to avoid more unsightly concrete and brick-work to repair later. It wasn't easy, but they got it done. Finding the supply line for the sprinkler system was a major challenge too. We finally found the pipe about 15 feet away, so they dug another trench to connect that to the main. They go the water back on to the house and yard about 24 hours after they started the job. They cleaned everything up before leaving on the second day. Larry came back the following Monday to repair the concrete in the driveway. Larry and Solomon were very hard workers, and were determined to get the job done, even though they faced some hurdles along the way (thanks to the poor work and decisions of the original home-builders). They ended up doing extra work to find the sprinkler pipe, since we originally hoped and assumed they would run into it with the first trench (but it couldn't be found). They stuck to their original quote, and didn't charge me any extra for the additional trenching and time to find the sprinkler supply pipe. I know some reviewers give them a lower grade on pricing because they feel that they are expensive, but considering all of the work that they did, and the quality of their work, the price was very fair in this case. For this type of major repair, I'd rather pay more money and be very comfortable that it is going to be fixed properly. This was the second time that I used Black Mountain Plumbing (first time was due to Angie's List reviews), and this second time I didn't hesitate to call them again. I sure hope I'm done with all of my water problems, but if I need help again, I'll definitely call Black Mountain. They are very courteous, professional, and hard working; they keep you in the loop at all times, and they always call before they show up to let you know they are on their way.
Description of Work: The main water supply line to my house ruptured around 8am. I knew it was going to be a major job to repair it, since the pipe runs up to my house from the city shut-off under my driveway. I thought they would have to cut a huge section out of my driveway and possibly even my garage floor to get to the pipe and repair it. They quickly discovered that the pipe from the city to my house was PVC, so they recommended to run a new copper pipe instead of trying to find the rupture in the PVC, and just have it break somewhere else soon. They gave me a couple of options, and we decided to make a small cut in the driveway, and then trench through my lawn and under my front walkway to get the new copper pipe into the house. They also had to connect that new pipe to a second feed going to my sprinkler system in the back yard (and we didn't know the exact location of that second feed or tee). They eventually found the feed pipe, and ran a new section of PVC through a new trenchLar to connect to it from the new copper main supply.

As described above the service was excellent and David is a credit to the profession ! I would highly recommend Black Mountain Plumbing to anyone! They were prompt, friendly and professional!
Description of Work: I called Black Mountain Plumbing Friday morning 6/15 and requested they come out to fix a leaky outside faucet. The faucet had been dripping for a couple of weeks, so I asked to be scheduled for 6/18.They are close by, so I was first stop at 8:21am. David called ahead and alerted me to approximate arrival and arrived shortly after the call. He was very pleasant and professional. I showed him the outside faucet and asked if I could have him also look at a problem faucet in the master bath where a replacement cartridge continued to leak. Even though David had a full schedule, he fixed the master bath faucet as well. He completed both tasks in less than 40 minutes and I am very pleased with the functionality of both faucets!

Our water heater light was not staying on so there was no hot water. We didn't notice this until later in the evening when doing the dinner dishes. I called Black Mountain Plumbing and someone was able to come out the next day. I agree with some of you reviews that the cost of this minor repair should not so high. I was just glad to have hot water again so quickly.
Description of Work: Our water heater light was not staying on.

We are glad we were able to help, some companies that are commission basis would have for sure sold you on a much more expensive plan or repair job. We are very reasonably priced, I serve on the board of directors for a nation wide Plumbing Contractors Association ( non paid position) as such I in fact have a good grasp of the state of the industry.......I am trying to change that. As for the cost,our cost is @ $75.00 per hr. per man/truck in the field, working, driving, gathering materials, talking or helping on the phone, its all a cost. So we indeed need to actually charge much more to be a profitable company, or go commission at that point a man trying to earn a living for his family when given a choice will have to sell the most expensive job .....we are staying hourly ! If the Thermal couple would need replaced a short time after we ( BMP ) would send a plumber and a truck out to replace it at no charge to you. 20 years ago we called GE to come out to repair 1 electric stove top element.....he unplugged it, sanded the connection and re installed it for $145......I wasn't mad about the cost I was mad they did not tell me on the phone to try that first, all our guys will attempt to help our customers over the phone for simple problems, that is also a labor cost that has no income generating ability. Its interesting we get A all over the place but B on the price, you can't get A everywhere and A on price, we would suffer elsewhere and become Black Mountain Plumbing.org.....lol Have a good week and thanks for the nice post and I hope this 2 fingered typing I have been doing was helpful, God bless, Scott the Plumber

Don't call this company if you have any "easy" fix. They will rob you! Do make sure they complete all the paperwork with and estimate prior to doing any work.
Description of Work: My husband and I own multiple units on one property. We had a few minor issues. Of the three minor problems (sink spout not screwed on tight enough, turning on cold water valve, and clogged bathroom sink) they could only charge us for the clogged bathroom sink. The estimate was $155 to snake our sink! Ouch!! FYI there is a very reputable company that will do it for $35, and that includes "trip charge". When I refused to pay they stated it would be $90 "diagnosis" and $18+ for trip charge. Really, you just spent a total of 15 min and were of no help, and want to charge me $90+. You were nice and decreased the rate a bit, however you admitted you failed to complete the paper work prior to doing any of the work. I should have never had to pay you! In the end I paid 83.50 for someone to tell my my sink is clogged.
