Whiskey Creek Plumbing

He did a good job, completed the work on time, and everything works great.

The son told me that my toilet was broken. I did not believe that He tried to show me that the toilet was leaking and a whole new toilet was needed. I saw that he slipped his finger under a place and in fact, it looked like it was leaking. he charged me $125.00. I told him to leave. I got a second opinion and it took about 20 min. to replace a broken flap. I called Thorton refunded my money.

Top notch service. Nate is very professional and was fair in his estimate for the work performed. They showed up on-time and did quality work. I will definitely be using Thornton Plumbing in the future.

Bought coupon for service call, didn't realize that no actual work would be included. A little deceptive in their ad. After I complain they apologized and funded the amount of the coupon. Very professional, helpful and honest.

It wasnt a problem with my plumbing and they recommended I check the roof.

Nathan and his assistant were prompt, friendly, and knowledgable. They worked hard to do the job correctly.

He arrived before the scheduled time. Nate and his assistant Justin were thorough in the work. They removed a link of copper pipe that was no longer needed and replaced a corroded and unworkable saddle valve. Before they started they drained the pipes as well. They cleaned up afterward. These two men are of the highest character, dependable, skilled, thorough, and patient with our questions. We would not think of having another plumber. They are the best. They also previously did a great job recommending and installing our water softener.

Excellent. Very knowledgeable and personable business owner. Showed me the product to be installed and answered all questions I had. I would highly recommend Thornton Plumbing.

They were very prompt and took care of the problem but the price was high.

UPDATED: Nate came to my house at 11am on a sunday morning to question my initial review. I felt pressured into changing to a positive review. This was completely unacceptable and unprofessional. I would not recommend thornton plumbing to a friend.

As do most plumbing repairs one fix leads to another. Nate Thornton (owner) did a small service job for me the previous week and I wanted him to look at my water softener. After some discussion we agreed the best answer was a new softener. Nate and his assistant Mike showed up on time for the softener install and while installing they noticed there was a small hole in the pressure tank. So while Mike continued the softener install, Nate left and picked up a pressure tank. It was after 6:00 PM before they finished the job. What a difference it made to our water quality. I thought Nate & Mike were very professional and did a great job.

By contacting Thornton Plumbing for a second opinion, I saved $500, MY PROBLEM IS ACTUALLY RESOLVED, and I have two brand new sump pumps as opposed to just running more PVC line to reroute water. Nate Thornton the owner is a honest Christian man with a great work ethic. Very hard to find nowadays. His repair cost was half of what another company quoted me. His knowledge and quality of work is above and beyond other plumbers I have hired in the past. I wanted a second opinion on my sump pump repair and purchased an Angie's List Big Deal from Thornton Plumbing. Nate contacted me the same day and they were available that afternoon! I had previously hired Service Plus to check the operation of my two sumps and battery backup. They sent out an inexperienced tech who told me everything was working fine just by holding the pipe to see if water was running through it. However, my overflow problem persisted. When Nate arrived he listened patiently to the story of the symptoms the system was exhibiting. He told me he suspected the second pump was dead and that was why the battery backup system kept coming on and pumping water to the outside of my house instead of the water being pumped only through the two main pumps and into the storm sewer system. I told him to proceed and upon opening the sump pit his prediction was correct! I went ahead and replaced that pump but also decided to replace the primary pump as well due to its age and substandard brand of pump. Nate gave me a discounted rate on the second pump part price and they also have a 3 year warranty. If I had gone along with the Service Plus diagnosis, I would've paid them $1500 to reroute my discharge line away from my driveway and the problem with the pumps would have still existed. As a second matter, Nate gave me a quote to run a gas line to an outside future fire pit. His price was $1500 as compared to over $3000 from Service Plus. Thornton Plumbing will definitely be getting our business for that project and for all our future plumbing needs.

Nate was prompt & professional. He did a good job& we would use him again.

Also, looked at and gave advice on problematic leaky bathroom faucet.

Went well. Professional service and prompt replacement. I'm not exact on pricing but I believe it was competitive

I called them to fix a kitchen faucet and the faucet in the bathroom. I got a quote for the toilets. I picked them out and ordered them through Economy Plumbing ($638). I was able to get them at a discount there but that is not the norm, I've found, so the Toto Drake water efficient toilets I bought would be more expensive. Thornton picked them up and installed them quickly and cleanly. There is a $25 charge for hauling the toilets away. For all the interactions I've had with Thornton, I've been very happy. The people have been courteous and knowledgeable. The work is done quickly and they don't leave a mess. Additionally, they are happy to explain anything I don't understand. We will use them in the future.

I have a fear of working with gas! The tech was very understanding and did an excellent job of explaining how to start the pilot light and what to do in the future should the light go out. I prefer the "smaller" business companies over the franchises. I will definitely use them in the future if I have any plumbing needs.

He gave good suggestions on maintaining.

Noticed water build up around the sump pump discharge outside the home. Bought a sump pump inspection and called in the work to repair the line. Scheduled for 9am; they thought they had me down for 9:30. No biggie; as long as the line gets fixed. Quoted $450, but payed $499. I don't know what the other $49 was for, but as long as the discharge works, I didn't care. Now for the inspection.... Stated that the sump pump was "aged" & may need to be replaced soon. Also the back up pump was not functional. Ok, how much??? $2,098!!! Checked Lowe's, and Home Depot. Both have priced well under half of that for the most expensive combos they carry. What I like: Responsive; Accessible: They answer the phone. They call right back. If I have an emergency I will use them again.

Professional. Install was fairly quick. Cleaned up extra plumbing parts that was there before. $999 seems expensive to me though. Pump was $650, can get them at Lowes in the $200-$300 range.

Originally requested drain cleaning and leaky pipe repair. Scheduled arrival 9 am, arrived at 9:10. Showed workers area where drain was slow. Explained my previous attempts to clear drain. Also told them that leaking pipe was in the same area in the crawl space. Explained none of the adjacent sinks where having this problem. Worker explained to me they would use water pressure to clear the line since it appeared to have at least one 90 degree turn if not more. Since they could not attach their hose to a working outside water source to flush the drain and because of a potential for water backing up the main vent we agreed to stop. They mentioned they did not want to use their drain snake since they had just spent $300 getting it repaired doing a similar job and they had not brought it with them. They then began work on leak in crawl space. The area in question is a little congested with piping from 3 sinks, 2 toilets, a shower and a tub. The pipe that is leaking is about 4" long and for welding new pipe it is a little too tight for me. I assumed wrongly that they would replace copper pipe for copper pipe. They cut and replaced leaking pipe with Pex and Shark Bite joints. Since i have used Shark Bite to repair other leaks in the past, I could have easily done this job myself. They were done with all work at approximately 11:15am. Since the first half hour was spent on the drain the remaining time, 1.5 hours, was spent on repairing the leak. Parts: 3 Shark Bite couplings; 2 pieces Pex = $47 Labor: = $500 Misc Charge ??? = $49 (no explanation on invoice) We had used them on 2 previous jobs. We were very happy with the response and cost of the first job; happy with the second job but price seemed high. Decided to give them a third try and I am convinced not to use them again due to cost versus quality/quantity of work.

This is the third time this year that we have hired Nate Thornton for plumbing work. Each experience has has great. Excellent work, performed in a timely manner, at a fair price. When it comes to plumbing work, Nate is our go-to guy!

Arrived on time and assessed the situation with my sump pump. Appropriately recommended replacement. Had the parts on hand and ready to install. Entire service was under 1 hour. Very professional and clean. Would definitely call again.

They arrived on time and introduced themselves to me and our dog. They looked and the problem and let me know what they would need to do and gave me an estimate. they left to get parts as my bath/shower is 30 years old and standard parts won't fit. we had already discovered this ourselves. they returned in a timely fashion and replaced the parts and tested them. They brought down all the packaging and old parts and gave them to me. After completing everything they prepared my statement and the cost was right along with the estimate. I received a 3% discount for paying by check instead of using credit cards. I appreciated their passing that savings on to me. They were professional and cheerful. I would not hesitate to call them again or to recommend them.

Secured appointment for the same day and the serviceman was on time.
