OK. Expensive. Not over the top, Not bad, just OK. They did the job they came to do and did not make a mess, however, there would be no reason to call them again as they were not exceptional, and were pricey.

We called in morning, they said they would have someone out by afternoon. Within an hour the plumber, Craig, was here. He examined everything and thought the clog was in pipes either under house or outside. In about 1 hour he had the problem fixed and was very clean and made sure he kept the area he was working in covered. I highly recommend them.

I returned home from an 3 month trip at 3:30 pm, turned the house water back on, and walked the house perimeter. When I got back around to the garage....water was coming out under the garage door. Called Babe's and a new water heater was installed and heating up by 5:30 pm. Great response.

They have been very responsive. I can’t say they are the most competitive, but I can say that they have always showed up when we needed then. They have provided great service and follow up. They are the ones we would call first in any situation.
Description of Work: We re-did our kitchen and they installed the sinks and plumbing. They repaired a leak and made several trips out for those plumbing jobs. They completed the plumbing work needed to move a washer dryer and this took some creativity and planning to do. They have also replaced our water heater for us in the past.

This was my first experience using Angie's List for a service provider. This morning at 8 AM I discovered that my hot water heater was leaking. I called Babes Plumbing. A plumber was on site within one hour and began work immediately. By noon, our new hot water heater was up and running. disposal of the old unit was included. The plumber was extremely neat, professional, and conscientious. What made it better was the 10% Angie's List discount coupon.

Found Babes listed as one of the top rated plumbers in our area on Angies List. Made first call on Friday October 18th, requesting an estimate to convert our home from well water to county water. Told that owner handles those(estimates) and person taking call would pass my name, number and address. Called back on 24th after not hearing back, was told by person taking call, that he would pass my information again. Called back today, 10/30/ asked person if anyone would be coming out, said he would have to pass information back to owner. Canceled request.
Description of Work: Nothing-requested estimate 3 times over 2 weeks to connect home to county water, told owner handles those requests.

Response from Babes Plumbing Inc
[removed member name] First, I would like to apologize for the lack of professionalism shown in handling your request for an estimate. As the owner of Babe's Plumbing I expect my employees to show courtesy and respect to all of our customers and the same should be expected of me. Unfortunately, you did not receive the respect and courtesy you deserved. Secondly, I would like to assure you and other customers that moving forward a system will be in place to prevent this from happening again. It should not have happened at all. Please accept my sincerest apology for your experience with our company. Joe Dalton, Sr. Owner, Babe's Plumbing, Inc.

They were prompt about coming, came when they said they would, were friendly and courteous and ended up fixing our toilet while he was here. Kenney of Babes will be back to fix another toilet this month. Excellent service and would recommend it to everyone!!!!
Description of Work: The drain under the sink had broken loose so we could not use the sink as water poured out. Kenney extended the drain so that if it should get bumped etc it would not break apart and start leaking again.

We came home to water lapping over our toes! We immediately looked at Angie's list and decided on Babes. It was late in the day and they sent out Frank to make sure all water was off etc. (we live on the 2nd floor). The next day, Frank arrived with our new water heater and fixed our incredible leak. He was polite and highly professional.

Water line in floor burst. 25,000 gallons later had to make a decision. Babe's gave me all the options without bias. Became obvious solution should be a complete repipe. While not happy about spending that much money unplanned was very happy with the work. They completed in one day what was needed to restore service. First rate job! Took another 2 weeks to have all the drywall repaired because they have an oncall specialist who does it the right way. They even spotted that I had a failing water heater and offered a discount to replace as part of the job. Have already recouped a third of its cost in energy savings. They are far from the cheapest in town but you truly get what you pay for. Have used them since and will again in the future.

Babe's sent out a very nice plumber who inspected the drains for non-use which he said will cause septic gas to build up. He helped us to assure the tenants there was no danger and we could not detect any smell at that time. He was very helpful with explaining what may have happened to the tenant. It was explained to us and to the tenants that an unused drain goes dry and the p-trap allows gas from the septic (or even the sewer) to vent through the drain. Once water is run into the drain it fills the p-trap with water which prevents the gas from entering the house. We will use Babe's for future plumbing needs at this house and our own house also.
Description of Work: At a rental house of ours, we had just had the septic tank pumped and roots trimmed back. The tenants complained of a septic smell in the house following that. Septic company said we should contact a plumber so we chose Babe's to help us. The tenant contacted us at the end of the day on a Friday.

I am somewhat new to Venice and hadn't had a need to use a plumber. I checked Angie's list for recommendations and found that Babe's had good grades and a few reviews. I called Monday morning and even though it wasn't urgent they had someone over that morning. Carl showed up, assessed the situation and explained what he was going to do. He cleaned the drain using a vacuum cleaner from both upstairs and outside to make sure that it was thoroughly cleaned out. Carl was pleasant, courteous, professional and didn't mind me asking many questions. He explained that I should be pouring bleach down the drain on a monthly basis to prevent this from reoccurring again. I would recommend Babe's Plumbing to my friends and neighbors.
Description of Work: The drain line from my second floor air handler had backed up and was leaking on the floor. I tried to repair it myself but it backed up again. The drain line was cleaned out and the drain pipe reconnected.

Workmen are coming tomorrow to clean and seal grout in bathtub tiles before guests arrive and the water would barely drain. Drano didn't work. I called Babe's because I get plumbing parts there. The dispatcher said no one was available until first thing tomorrow. I said I needed somebody just for an outside access clean-out job today." Twenty minutes later, as promised, he called back with my job window. Guy worked hard in 90+ heat and humidity (my job added to his last-job-of-the-day list) and finally pulled out a black toilet flange that had created a blockage. Excellent work when they said they would be here at a fair price.

They are excellent. The owner is in the shop every day from the time they open until the last truck comes back in and he is 85 years old. For my area, I wouldn't’t use anyone else for my plumbing. The gentleman that came to my home was very professional, explained the mechanisms to me and made brand recommendations if I did need to replace my faucet. It was clear that Fred was unbiased and very knowledgable. He fixed my faucet issue very inexpensively.

I've used them for regular plumbing jobs. I'm not really that much pleased with them, but they are alright. I needed to do some more pluming and he said he would call back to do that, but I never heard back from him since then. I was going to give me a proposal. The quality is okay. They are punctual. I might use them for simple plumbing jobs, but not for too complicated stuffs.
