Everything was cleaned promptly the same morning I called for assistance.
Description of Work: Had to go on the roof for access to clean a drain stoppage. New occupant had flushed disposable diapers down the toilet causing the blockage. The plumber removed the blockage and found pieces of the diaper in the drain cleaning probe.

I called John the Plumber at 8.30am today and left a message that our kitchen sink was not draining propery. This had started a few days ago. We tried a drano-like solution but that did not work. I got a call back at 9.00am for Sonia who said she would check with the crews out on the road to see when one could come. She said yes it would be today. Sonia called back about 10.15am and said that a serviceman on a job not too far from us would come today after he was finished at the other job probably somewhere around noon. At 11.15am I got a call from the technician who said he was on the way. The tech arrived about 11.30am and assessed the situation. He saw the slow moving drain and said he would snake out the drain from the roof. He also commented that the angle of the drain tubing under the sink was not the best to allow for proper drainage. He used his ladder to go to the roof and snaked out the drain. We could tell that it had done the trick because the standing water went down immediately. Then he came back inside and corrected the drain angle to prevent any future clogs. The job took about forty minutes. The technician was very professional and we were appreciative of his fixing the drain angle under the sink.

Saturday morning and I have blocked overflowing toilet and drain. Called John the Plumber. Dave called me back within 1/2 hour and asked about my problem. He was at my house within another half and hour. He had to get on roof and snake the main drain. It was hot up there and he worked hard but got the drain cleared! I paid him $225. Great job and I really appreciated the prompt Saturday service! I would definitely recommend!

I was not overly impressed. There was an issue with the charge, I was not happy with that. They job they did was fine. I would not rate them as high because of their attitude. I would tell people them not to use them. They came out to look at it and did not tell me there was an additional $100 charge until after they brought the heater out. They wanted to change the date twice to come out.

Response from JOHN THE PLUMBER
The issue with the charge was that once the heater was removed we noticed that the plastic pan it was sitting in was brittle and cracked. At this point we informed the (member name removed) that it would be in there best interest to replace and reconnect the pan. A price of $100.00 was given, which was a very fair price due to we needed to go get a new pan and install it which added an additional 2 hrs to the job plus the cost of the pan. Mr. Muller was upset because we didn't tell him he needed a new pan before we starting the job. We didn't think he needed a new pan until after we removed the water heater. It was only when the heater was removed that we could see the condition of the pan under where the heater was sitting. This was completely unforeseen but this happens occasionally. I don't understand why Mr.. Muller would say we had a bad attitude, we treated him with respect and did the best job possible at a very fair price

Excellent. Edwardo came out, on time and inspected drainage. I thought I was looking at a line clean out job. Edwardo came in and with in 15 minutes determined the problem and saved me a possible $150.- $200.00 job, that would not have been necessary.

Unfortunately, this was not a good experience. This is a doctor's office, so we have many patients using one bathroom. The main reason we had them come out was to replace the broken handle on one toilet! For over a month, after John the Plumber has been here with patients using the bathroom, eventually the toilet would not fill and each day we have had to put an "Out of Order" sign on the bathroom door. They had to come out 4 times just so this one toilet would flush and fill! We were really getting tired of opening the back of the toilet and putting our hands in there to push the rubber down so the tank would fill. The toilet would flush and fill when the plumbers were here, but after a day's use, the toilet would not fill after flushing. The first 2 men that came out were very, very nice, and the 4th one was very nice. However, Mike S (the 3rd) was not. He would not listen to what I was trying to tell him was the problem. He kept interrupting me when I was trying to explain the problem. He interrupted me 3 times saying "I brought a new handle". ... and he would not let me finish. Finally, when I tried to explain that after a few hours of use, the handle was getting stuck, pulling the chain too taut, and the rubber would not seal - therefore, the water would not fill the tank - he would not listen, kept interrupting, and he said in a very condescending tone: "As I tried to explain to you, I brought a new handle." I do my own repairs at home, so I'm not stupid - and I'm sure he would not have spoken to a man in that tone!!! The problem is with the 3rd person, Mike S, who was sent out. He was very rude!! If he had only listened, the new handle did not need to be replaced. There is another problem. I mean..... really....., does it take 4 plumber to make a toilet flush and fill every time? Unfortunately, the "Out of Order" sign is up again!
Description of Work: Replaced two toilets' handles, flappers, ballcocks, supply line, Airator. This was done at 3/14/2013. A Kitchen Faucet was replaced on 4/22/13. We have had no problem with the one toilet and no problem with the faucet. However, we have had to have them come out 4 times for one toilet. As much as I would like to give a good review, because 3 out of the 4 men sent to our office to repair one toilet were very, very nice. But to be honest, after 4 visits, every day we have had a problem. Patients use this bathroom, and it is important that this toilet work. But...........we still have a problem. Don't let Mike S come out. When I told the office about his rude behavior, Sonia said, "maybe he had a bad day!" No one apologized for his rude behavior. I chose this Plumbing Company on Angies List because of the reviews - but unfortunately, our office has not had a good experience, and we wished we had chosen someone else. I personally feel bad since I said I know how to get a good plumber - from Angies List! Also, you usually have to leave a message with their office - and someone calls you back the next day.

At John the Plumber we pride ourselves in delivering the best customer service possible and always treating our customers fairly and honestly. It is unfortunate and extremely rare that we have an unsatisfied customer, please just check out our other reviews. The job in question was a toilet repair in which we were called out because it wasn't flushing properly. We replaced the supply line, ballcock, flapper and handle, tested and no issues. We were called back 3 times and at each time we could not find any issues or create any issues with the toilet. Even though we couldn't find any problems with the toilet we did replace the handle and or the flapper at no additional charge. It's hard to fix something that's working fine and can't find anything wrong. As for the comments made about Mike S. he was trying to explain he couldn't find any issues with the toilet and even though there was no issue he'd replace the handle at no charge. We do warranty our parts but again you can't fix something when you can't find anything wrong. We are a family owned company with one person in the office. We do our best to answer the phone at all times but if we miss your call we do call as so as we hear the messages.

Wonderful. We actually had John the Plumber at our house twice in the last month. The first time was due to large tree roots invading our sewer pipes causing a backup in our house. They solved that problem and we also had the tree cut down - fixing that problem for good. The second time was because our water bill was creeping up from the usual $55/month to $188/month. We had terrible thoughts about having the foundation of our house being dug up. But thankfully the technicians found a pipe with a pinhole leak behind the wall in the garage. They delicately cut a hole in the wall, replaced the leaky pipe - and the cost was much less than we expected. Since the water was leaking behind the wall we also determined the problem of why our garage concrete floor was constantly wet. They were wonderful - timely, professional, neat. Would highly recommend to anyone with plumbing issues.
Description of Work: Tree root invasion - sewer back-up. Snaked & cleaned. Also snaked a camera to identify where the pipes were compromised. Water leak behind the wall, which was determined to be in the garage. Replaced the pipe.

John the Plumber was great.! We have three dated toilets which have required regular repairs over the years and all were leaking or sticking. The first plumber we called wanted $750 in parts only (before labor) just to repair the toilets! (my husband didn't use Angie's List.) I got on Angie's List and found John the Plumber. He managed to fit us in the same day, took less than an hour, charged us only $120 and didn't leave a mess. He was courteous and efficient. The toilets are working great! Best experience I've had with a plumber.

Mike arrived promptly and within a short time had replaced the leaking hose bib on my washer. He also repaired my inside two of my toilet tanks which needed new parts. Mike was courteous, cheerful, cleaned up nicely, and was very professional. Price was very reasonable for this work. I would definitely recommend this firm and will use them again in the future.

Overall, John The Plumber continues to be our first place to call whenever there is any kind of potential plumbing problem. They always are responsive, professional, and reliable.
Description of Work: We have called upon John The Plumber on several occasions in recent years, and will continue to do so because they consistently provide good service at reasonable prices. In the most recent instance we anticipated a problem with our water heater. Upon inspection the plumber correctly diagnosed a different, less expensive source of the problem, and promptly fixed it.

Overall easy solution. I went to visit my parents who are in poor health and found they needed plumbing done for several items. I researched Angie's list and found this plumber. They had good reviews were all good. I called them and explained our situation and what we needed done. They said they could confirm an appt following Wed but they agreed to come out the next week & advised they would call on Monday if they had an opening. They called first thing Monday and we there at the house before 1pm. They repairs were done quickly and correctly and at a fair price .
Description of Work: Very responsive to my call. I needed work done at my elderly parents home. They arrived on time, did good work & made my parents comfortable. They repaired two toilets, replaced sink valve and an outside hose connection. We will use them again for sure!

John tested the electric and it turned out the problem with my water heater was that it wasn't getting power (even though the circuit was turned to "on"). I reset the circuit breaker, John tested it again, and there was power. Even though he came out, he didn't charge for his time. I decided he was an honest guy so I will definitely be calling him again.

I recently purchased a new home and needed a bath drain and kitchen sink drain snaked out. Additionally, I was experiencing very low water pressure in the kitchen. On 10/22/12, a plumber came out and successfully unclogged the drains and also replaced the tub drain, handle, and spout. He was; however, unable to increase the pressure in the kitchen. I later noticed that the newly installed tub spout was leaking so I called them back out. (In the meantime, I had discovered other unrelated issues that also needed to be addressd - the joys of new home ownership). On 11/28/12, a plumber named Daniel came to my home and resolved everything. He was great! He fixed the leaky tub spout and replaced the washer faucets in the laundry (old hoses were corroded on. The toilets in both bathrooms were rocking and he was able to fix them. He was even able to determine the reason for the low water pressure in the kitchen the that previous plumber could not. It ended up being a clogged diverter. I was charged $269.00 on the second visit. I rated the overall experience a "B" since I did have to call them back out for the tub. I would definitely use them again and will request Daniel.
