They looked at a possible job opportunity at our house. We had previously had another company take a look at the same job. They recommended not to perform the job on our house. They stated they would not perform the job on their own house so definitely would not recommend it on someone else's home. They did give us a recommendation but they do not do the type of work recommended. They came out promptly and did not charge for the consultation. They are reliable and fairly priced due to our past experiences with this company.

Dave showed up within an hour. He was amiable and got right to work and replaced the corroded pipe. He also fixed a couple odd leaks. He was efficient, pleasant and sensitive to the urgency of the problem.
Description of Work: It was July 3 and we discovered a leaky pipe in the basement that was getting worse by minute. New to the area so I used Angies List and this was the only company to respond to my emergency call.

Called Mulvaney, they sent out a tech to explore why our water system wasn't working properly. He ran some tests inside the house, and determined that the problem was with the well pump or pipes. He unsuccessfully spent hours trying to locate the well. The owner of the company came out after many hours and tried to locate the well. They were unsuccessful in finding the well, which is ironic because it says well pump locating on the side of the service truck. They did use metal detectors and they dug several holes, however the holes were too shallow to locate the well. The owner recommended finally that we bring in an excavator to follow the pipes from the house to the well. He then presented use with a bill for the time which was 450$ for which we paid immediately, but got zero benefit from. We called another local well pump company a few days later and they sent out a tech who found the well within an hour, and he said that the prior company wasn't digging deeply enough to find the well even if they were right over it. The second company quickly found the well and determined that we needed a new well pump and pipes. They very quickly did all necessary repairs at a very reasonable price. In conclusion we will never use this company again period.
Description of Work: Attempted to find well in order to replace well pump and pipe.

The work was done right but the cost of materials was a ripoff. I was charged $268 for bathroom cartridges and assorted equipment that I could buy retail in a hardware store for $110. But the last straw was the $9.10 for lubricant for screws and I saw it was a used package and since I paid the full price he did not even leave it and he used ;ess than an ounce.

These guys are amazing. I have used them for a while and they are responsive, they listen, and they take the time to sit down with you and fully explain exactly what they are doing or have done. It's this way every time. Also, on THANKSGIVING DAY, instead of the guy coming out here and chargin me triple time, he spent 20 minutes on the phone with us twice, to help us stop a leak (pour) in our ceiling, so we could wait until a business day. LOVE THESE GUYS. WOuld never use anyone else.

I have had two major jobs and two minor jobs from J.Mulvaney & Co., over 10k in billings. I have nothing but positive things to say. They replaced my old pressure tank and well pump with a new constant-pressure pump, water softener, and filtration system. The install crew did a great job & the installation is neat and professional. I've also met two other Mulvaney plumbers sent over for a combination of minor fixes and a major job connected with a renovation elsewhere in the house. These guys were GOOD. They saved me money because they worked quickly and professionally & got the job done right the first time. The owner is hands-on. Joe Mulvaney visited personally to review the water system at the house. When I called some weeks later to ask questions about plumbing work for the renovation, Joe insisted on coming over and having a look for himself even though I told him it wasn't necessary. 110% satisfied, these guys are terrific.

Mulvaney did not want to do the job and he made nonsense remarks about the leaking water tank which clearly indicated he was not interested in doing the job. If people want to deal with someone who most likely considers them stupid, then call Mulvaney.
Description of Work: He said he could not give an accurate estimate of replacing an oil fired hot water tank unless I emailed him pictures of the existing tank and the installation site. I had contacted several plumbing contractors to give an estimate for replacements. Some came to the house, some gave the estimate based on averages. It was obvious Mulvaney Plumbing wasn't interest based on the size of the job. When I called the contractor, the gatekeeper/ office clerk asked me if it was leaking and i said Yes. She said you do not need a new tank. I said I would like to speak to the owner. She told me that he would not be back for several days. A week later Mr. Mulvaney called and again told me I do not need a replacement tank. When asked for an estimate to do the job, he said send me pictures of the tank and site. It is obvious he was a wiseacre and was just trying to dump the request for assistance. When a company gets to grow like this one, it is a mistake to be condescending to the public. I would not recommend them to anyone.

Response from J Mulvaney Plumbing & Heating Inc
In response to the review dated 1/25/14 our company received a call from [member name removed] on 12/26/13 at 10:10 am and spoke to our highly skilled office manager who has been with us for 9 years. [member name removed] wanted a price on a 30 gallon oil fired water heater to replace the 50 gallon one that they currently had. My family and I were on vacation at the time so [member name removed] was told that I would get back to him when I returned to work. On 1/6/14 I returned [member name removed] call and spoke to him about what he wanted to do. So as not to waste his time or mine in going out to his home for an estimate I asked him to take pictures and send them to my company email so I could have a better idea of what was needed for the job and to give him a more accurate estimate. Having customers send pictures to us has become a popular way to communicate and it is not an uncommon practice for us. Neither my office manager nor I would never mislead a customer by telling them that a water heater leaking from the unit did not need to be replaced. We are in the business of plumbing and heating installation, service and repair work and after doing this for 35 years I would not intentionally misguide someone.

Couldn't have asked for a smoother experience. Professional arrived in window cited, worked efficiently, cleanly and with confidence that made you confortable they knew what they were doing and left everyone with a smiling on their face and a smelly, unpleasant situation corrected.
Description of Work: Toilet had leaked into finished basement causing minor damage as it was discovered early. Call was made and Mulvaney company responded quickly and the dispatched plumber quickly diagnosed the problem (installation/repair done a year earlier was done incorrectly) and the toilet wax seal had loosened as a result leading to leakage. Problem wias quickly fixed and the plumber, Alan K. went that extra yard and sealed the toilet to relatively new tile floor using grout which we fortunately had a bit spare on hand.

He came in and revied the work. Talked about the mess that the other guy had done and sent me a quote that night. Best thing I ever did was to hire his Compay.
Description of Work: They installed a new sink and toilet, while fixing work that was done incorectley by another (Rolando Pozuelo owner of RCR Home Improvement from Wilton Ct) Their work was done in a very profeeional manner and they really know how to do the job right the first time. They did work for my Son-In-Law and he always has nothing but great things to say about them so I hired them and It was a great move. Hiring the last contractor (Rolando) was the worst experience I have ever had and I was worried, being new to the area, that this would be the type of people in the trade in Ridgefield. Joe was great and I would and will hire him again in a minute.

Plumber questioned me about the nature of the waste line leak and had me flush toilets, run bath faucets, and sinks, to assess water flow rates in the drain and see where leak was coming from. Whether the leak was due to a temporary clog or overfilling of the septic tank (power had been off for a week due to the storm and the septic tank is a pump-up type), was never determined, but the past leakage, which was major, never occurred while he was there. He went into the yard and pulled the septic tank pump chamber cover to assess the flow rate from the waste line, finding it satisfactory. He then suggested the use of "Clobber," a potent, sulfuric acid drain cleaner, to remove any deposits and I approved, though I questioned its need. When billed, I found that the "Clobber" was priced at $48 for a quart bottle, though plumbing supply houses advertise it for $18 - a massive markup by the plumbing company! His promotion of this treatment suggested an attempt to increase their billing, rather than need, and I later found that another, smaller, waste line (copper) had developed a leak, perhaps due to the acid treatment. I found the promotion of this drain cleaner, when no current obstruction existed, as well as the excessive markup of the product, to be unprofessional.
Description of Work: Plumber inspected large septic drain for clog and opened septic tank lid to look for flow rates. He seemed thorough and had me run various fixtures looking for backups or slow flows. He then added "Clobber" (sulfuric acid) to a drain to clear it of any obstructive matter, and left, not finding any reason for the waste line leak that occurred in days past.
