It turned out pretty good. They came and did the work. I’m satisfied with it. I wish they would have done two traps and not just one but then again it could have been my wife’s fault because who knows what she told them. The price was okay. I saved some money. It was 50 bucks maybe. It was pretty good.

Description of Work: Had a leak in a copper pipe. Decided to go with a repipe of the home instead. Also added a new hot water heater, water softener and whole house filter.

This is a top notch outfit that really does things right. They arrived as scheduled, did the work better than expected, cleaned up after themselves, and made sure I was happy before they left. Mike, the plumber that did the work, is really conscientious and is very good at his craft. We are very happy that we chose this company to do the work. Great job.

Chuck came to our home personally to review our tankless water heater options and explained how the laundry tub with pump works. Paul, the plumber who installed the equipment, was very polite and pleasant and end explained how the system works. He also answered some questions I had about the kitchen sink and fixed the faucet for me. They were very professional and responsive to questions. I would definitely use their services again, and recommend them highly.

My sister and niece spent the previous night with me because they need to catch an early flight. I woke up to all kinds of chaos due to the guest bath shower not draining and then water backing up into sink and shower when toilet was flushed. Given this situation, further bathroom usage was transferred to the master bath which in short order also became clogged and backed up. o do I called Chuck's plumbing at 07:15 a.m. They agreed to come between 9 and 11 a.m. The office asked if I would like for them to email a picture of the technicians who would be coming and I said yes. The email came at 08:25 a.m. The techs, Cleveland and Robert, showed up promptly at 09:10. They were very personable and respectful when introducing themselves. I directed them to the baths and they immediately began their inspection. Of course, by now, the showers had drained. and everything looked normal. Cleveland explained what they were going to do and discussed the cost while Robert investigated around the outside of the house looking for the cleaanout. Once I agreed to the service and price, the guys set to work reaming out the pipes with a snake. When this was done, they sent a camera down through the pipes and took pictures. By then, whatever was causing the problem appeared to have been pushed out to the gutter. The problem looks to have been caused by kitchen grease and food. We discussed the pictures and they preseneted several options of further cleaning for my consideration. Since these options were expensive, I said that I would have to think about it. I have not yet decided what to do. There was a secondary clog in the guest bath that was also cleared.
Description of Work: I had clogged drains with water backing up into bathroom fittings. Chuck's came and reamed out the lines and also cleared a secondary clog in the guest bath shower line.

Thank you for your business and the wonderful review. Cleaning the drain with and electric draining cleaning cable will restore flow and remove solids but if a drain has a lot of grease build up the only way to remove all the grease is with a Hydro Jet machine that uses high pressure water to clean the pipes of all debris. When we preform this task we like to clean the entire system and give a multi year warranty. Chuck Detari

Older water heaters that have not been flushed on an annual basis sometimes have to much sediment build up and will not flush through the factory install drain valve. All our new heaters come with a full port drain valve to allow the proper flushing of the sediment. The technician will examine the existing heater and it's drain valve and inform you if he feels it is safe or not to flush the heater. The last thing we want to do is try to flush an old unit and it start to leak. Tank water heater last on average ten years. After ten years they are very inefficient and the tanks start to fail, so replacement is important. Chuck Detari

Charged $320 (including a $29 call out fee dispatch fee even though he was already there to do the work). When I told my husband the price, he hit the roof when he realized the exorbitant amount this company charged to do such a simple job. I rang the company back and said if they could reduce the price. The owner chuck said he would give $50 off and total bill would be $270 (still high for such a simple job, but i agreed to it). Found out the next day they had charged $300 and included the $29 call out charge, but had neglected to tell me that the day before. I called them back to ask why they had charged call out fee. I told him i was going to leave a bad review on angies list and he said leave one you dumb f***. Charming man. It's not the $29 now, but the diming and centing practices of this unscrupulous company. Please don't do any business with this company and its rude owner.

First my personal cell phone # is 813-695-7556. We never charge a client more than they approve, never! We have never had a complaint or charge back with the credit card processing companies. We have an A+ rating in this matter, as well as an A+ with the BBB and on Angie's List. We inform every client up front that we charge a $29 dispatch fee. The technician will give the home owner repairs cost up front before any work is preformed. Once approved we will preform the repairs and stand by our work. This is a rental property so all of our contact with the owner has been over the phone. She called the office after Cleveland give her the pricing and I agreed to give her $50 off the repair, she still was not happy and we informed her she could call an other service provider. She insisted we do the repair and we did.The next day she called threatening to write a bad review if we did not give her a refund. I tried to offer her a second discount but she would not let me speak. I will gladly speak with any client who is not happy, but it has to be a two way respectful conversation. My personal cell number is 813-695-7556. Chuck Detari

I am sorry but how can we receive an F for quality if we did no work? Vincent and I spent several hours going over all the work you wanted to have done. Your previous plumber and or handyman installed drains and water lines, but did not complete them, that were not up to code. Not only were the drain lines not to code, they were install in a way that could cause a sewage and or sewer gas leak. This could effect your health and damage your home. We cannot and will not finish legally install plumbing. The only way we could help you was to start all over. I am sorry if this seemed to be to expensive, but I promise that for the amount of work we proposed to do it was very fair. I strongly suggest you call the city plumbing inspector and ask him to inspect the work that was done by whom ever you hired. You will find the number on the city web site or call me, I will be glad to give it to you.

Shower pan failure is very common in tile shower bases. We see several every month. We install a cement based pre slope while many contractors use a cardboard & foam based pre slope and we also test every vinyl pan we install. You can rest assured your new shower pan was properly installed. Chuck Detari

After getting estimates from other plumbing companys, which I got from Angieslist and they all had "A" with great reviews, I made an appointment with Chuck's Plumbing. Their estimate was $3,000.00 up to $5,000.00 dollars higher. As all the other companys spent a fair amount of time looking, measuring and explaining all the variables. This was not done, If he had taken twenty minutes I would be surprised. NO I would never hire them.

Service was never performed. After multiple calls, company did not return calls to set up service date. Response to your response; I am not interested in apologies. I prefer instead that you make good on your offer for that which I paid for. This system apparently works as I see you quickly responded to the low rating. If there was a glitch in the system, I understand and forgive. Not answering or returning calls is a bit more difficult to understand. The ball is in your court to redeem??
