Called to get a small leak on the outside spigot fixed. You pay an upfront fee of $89 which gets waived if you proceed with the work (seems fair at first). I was quoted $498.75 for a 30-45min job. When I asked for a breakdown the answer was (labor and parts). This would have been a small pipe and new spigot ($15 part cost at max) so would have paid around $480 ... resulting in $900+ hourly rate ??? Answer was: " this is our rate card ... " Enquire IN ADVANCE of what a certain job would cost before you pay $89 to hear something completely unreasonable - UNFAIR practices in my opinion.

Shontae G. took my call about 2:16 pm or so and was very kind when my cold and cough kept interrupting the conversation! She said they could have someone there shortly. Nate B. arrived about 2:45, found the right part on the truck (a fill valve replacement for my 2009 Toto potty), and got to work replacing it, including the seal on the water feed line, cleaning the filter, checking out the works, etc. Gave me a coupon off, ending with a bill of just under $160. I was very satisfied.

We just had the worst experience with Plumb Works. They installed a new sump pump 6 weeks ago. Last night in the storms from hurricane Irma the battery back up went down. They promised to mitigate and restore our finished basement. After work had begun, they pulled out and decided not to help us. They said that a battery only would last 2 hours at most. Incredibly unprofessional! We are at a loss for words at how deceitful Jerome and this company treats their customers!

Plumber was unprofessional, negative, and critical of my lack of knowledge about how the sink/drain works and parts needed for hook up. He complained about working on a Friday late afternoon. It was a very disappointing and frustrating experience. I will not use this company again, ever.

Awesome. There was a family illness with the plumber along the way and Plumbworks worked with me to notify me, re-schedule with as little fuss as possible, work was done beautifully by knowledgeable and personable plumber, (Jeff), etc.
Description of Work: Had 15 year old "shower tower" which failed. It was no longer supported by company, so had to have it removed and new one installed. Needed to work with plumber and tile man to repair tile opening and reinforce for new unit which was (of course!) a somewhat different size. Plumbworks schedulers worked with me to assure that same plumber visited during all three necessary visits and worked to allow plumber to be here when tile man could also be present to assure that all things fitted together appropriately.

Friday at 8AM, Leslie and her associate arrived with a new water heater. They spent the next several hours disconnecting the old 75 gallon heater and lugging it up the basement stairs, and replacing it with a new one. By noon we had hot water and Leslie was finishing a meticulous clean-up. They did an excellent job quickly, with minimal disruption and at a reasonable price. We highly recommend Plumbworks and their excellent staff. Grade: A.
Description of Work: On Wednesday we found we had no hot water, so we called Plumbworks about 5PM. The very courteous office staff said someone would come to our house between 11 and 2 on Thursday. Thursday at 10:30, Leslie called to say she was on her way. She arrived at 11, went right to work and quickly determined that our water heater had breathed its last and had to be replaced.

We ended up not using Plumb Works because their estimate was around $900. We received an estimate from another reputable company for around $435 and an estimate from another reputable company for around $500. Of course, we had to pay Plumb Works $69 just for coming out to our house to give us an estimate (the other companies charged $0 for coming out to give us an estimate). Plumb Works wouldn't even provide a ballpark number over email (I literally wanted to know whether it was going to cost $100 or $1000 or $5000 - I had no idea of a general ballpark cost), but, of course, they REFUSED to even provide a ballpark number. I wasn't going to hold them to that ballpark number...I just wanted a general idea before paying $69 for them to come to my house. I will not recommend Plumb Works to anyone, and I will actively encourage my friends and neighbors NOT to use Plumb Works. On the positive side: they were very responsive to my request for them to come to my house for a quote.

Having worked as a plumber in NYC, primarily in Soho, Tribeca, and the Upper East Side, I gained first hand knowledge of working with old plumbing in old buildings -- always expect surprises, and many of them not pleasant. Our early 1950's house with galvanized pipes provided more than our share of unpleasant ones. Vann Chea, the professional from Plumb Works, who estimated the job and did all the work himself, is perhaps the finest plumber I've ever worked with. Each problem was tackled creatively and successfully solved while causing no collateral damages to surrounding fixtures, tile work, connecting pipes, etc. He also left the job in as clean a shape as he found it. Really kind of amazing for most plumbers. Finally, and most surprising to me, he did the job for the original estimated amount. Why surprising? We both originally thought it was probably a one day job, maybe one and a half tops. But as soon as we cut into the walls, we were greeted with concrete around most of the valves and pipes. It took almost three full days to complete the project -- no extra charge. All the folks I dealt with at Plumb Works were pleasant, professional, and delivered what they promised. When I need plumbing again, I'll call them and see if Vann is available.

I think the cost was closer to $150 or a little bit more. BUT, PlumbWorks will come in an emergency and you'll get professional service. So, it's really worth it. We had a leak in our tub and the plumber identified a lot of other issues but told us that it may be best to wait until our renovation to address them. So, getting a reputable company with expert plumbers who are trustworthy and honest -- priceless!

Waste water was backing up into bottom floor water fixtures (toilets and bathtub), which indicated that the sewer line was clogged. It was draining very slowly, so it wasn't emergency. I called into PlumbWorks on a Sunday and their answering service was able to set me up with an appointment the next day. It was very important that the worker call me before he arrived, so I could leave work and meet him at the house, and he did do that. Nate B. was the plumber and he did a great job. He patiently explained all of the issues, including the pros and cons of the different ways of getting the machine into the sewer line. We decided to lift one of the toilets and go in that way, and after a while he hit the clog and the draining worked again. He ran the machine all the way out to its max length of 100 feet just to be sure there weren't other clogs. He then ran the camera machine down the line, which has an onscreen odometer, so I was able to SEE the clogs and where they were exactly. This will be useful in the future if and when we have to do more work on the sewer line. Nate restored the toilet, noting that it had a problem (preexisting) which I waived off.
Description of Work: Unclogged the main sewer line for the house. Had to go through the toilet flange (no sewer cleanout that machine could get to) so toilet had to be removed and reinstalled.

I called PlumbWorks for repair of a specific Kohler waterfall tub drain, not clogged, just stuck. I also needed plumber to use removal tool to pull drain from a second tub and do a basic replacement of a one-piece vanity faucet with no drain replacement. I explained to the dispatcher that we needed someone who was familiar with the specific Kohler parts. The plumber arrived on time. (1) He looked at the Kohler drain and indicated he had installed one 20 years ago but did not know how it was assembled. He also indicated that the dispatcher had not passed on any of the information I had provided. I assisted and after about an hour we simply pulled the handle hard and it opened up for removal. He cleaned it out and reassembled. It does work now as intended. Score 1 for plumber. (2) Plumber then consulted his iPad to give us company-established cost estimates for other work......approximately $400 for full drain replacement on second tub (didn't need that) and over $400 for faucet replacement. He agreed to try to unscrew drain using his special drain tool. Unsuccessful as expected; tabs in drain broke off. He did not have the next step, a $30 tool (at Lowe's) that grips the drain and will unscrew, so not fully equipped. (3) I declined the installation of the faucet due to outrageous cost. The plumber did not charge us for attempting to remove the second drain since it was unsuccessful and charged $174 for his visit. Reasonable. So...1 of 3 tasks accomplished. I may buy the $30 tool and replace drain myself or get an alternate plug. I did replace the faucet in about 45 minutes with no issues at all. Bottom line: Plumber was professional and flexible. The company operation was a failure for small jobs; bad dispatching; highly corporate rate estimating process with stunning rates. Would seek out a more responsive and personal approach next time.
Description of Work: Called for repair of Kohler tub drain, plus routine installation of replacement faucet and removal of tub drain in second bath. Plumber was able to repair Kohler drain with my assistance. Details below on other work.

Josh came out to help us on a Saturday, when our sewer line to the street became backed up. Josh arrived right when he said he would; he was courteous, and clear with the pricing from the beginning. He stayed several hours to fix our problem, gave us some advice on some others issues we asked about, and we paid exactly what he said we would - the low end of that, in fact. We hope to have Josh around whenever anything else goes wrong with our 100-year-old plumbing.

Danny arrived promptly at 8am and reviewed the problem. He told me exactly what he thought should be done and how much it would cost to do it. I told him to proceed. He completed the work in a very timely manner and then took the time to identify and tag the main water shut off valve in our basement, the hot water tank shutoff valve, the hot water tank gas line and the furnace gas line. This was my first experience with Plumb Works and should I require a plumber in the future, I will certainly call them. Thanks Plumb Works and thanks Danny.

The first technician that came from Plumbworks was Nate and he was polite but did not do a good job because immediately after installation, I noticed leaking from the new pipes. I contacted Plumbworks and Nate came the next day to fix it (at no charge) but didn't apologize for the leak. He left his tools behind and fixed one leak but then created another so we still had a leaking sink. I contacted Plumbworks again and this time requested Jamey to come fix the sink and he was awesome! Jamey was prompt, very polite, fixed the leak, checked to make sure the leak was fixed, and also made sure that the exposed pipes (this is a wall-mount sink so all pipes are exposed) looked nice. I would recommend Jamey to anyone! Although it took 3 tries, Plumbworks did a nice job installing the sink and were very responsive each time I contacted them.

Called this plumber because they were recommended by the manufacturer. Expected that they could repair since they were recommended by manufacturer. Technician was not even familiar with the model, told us it was broken, and wrote down exact replacement model rather than giving us any options. Just hurried through transaction once I realized he was not adding any value to the situation.

I asked two or three other plumbers to give me an estimate, saying they were going to dig a trench, install the line and fill it up, but i couldn't because it would cut through two walkways. To save the vegetation, so plumbworks dug a ten foot long trench on the outside of the house, and he inspected the whole line to make sure he would only have to dig in as few places as possible. He did an inspection of the pipe and the location of the pipe before doing any of the digging. He pushed ten foot sections of 4" pvc pipe through a 6" clay pipe, and he kept pushing it through until it appeared in a small whole that he dug near the street, preserving the walkways and a lot of the plants. He didn't make a big mess as far as digging up the yard, and avoided digging a big channel through the yard. He told me i also needed a cleanout because the city of atlanta would charge me without it, so installed one going into the house and one going away from the house toward the street. His price was also a lot cheaper than some of the other providers we were looking into. He's done other jobs for me, usually a lot smaller and he always explains everything properly, laying out the pro's and con's as well as the reasons for why he does certain things. He does also make recommendations and provides lots of helpful advice. He's very persistent, making sure he gets the job done right the first time.

Everything went well for the most part. The plumber was friendly and professional, and he arrived on time. However, they weren't able to flush the water heater because it would not drain properly, so they provided a very high estimate for replacing it. I felt as though I should have received a discount since they weren't able to flush the water heater as specified in the deal.
