He did quite a bit of troubleshooting until he found and fixed the problem. Excellent service. We had a bit of mixup communicating in the first place (the reason I gave the "B" for responsiveness) but after that, everything was great!

Description of Work: Water heater they installed 4 years ago started leaking. Contacted them, they were able to come out within 36 hours and replace it. Warranty covered the water heater; still had to pay $400 for installation of the replacement. Great guy, prompt, good communicator. Just annoyed to have to replace a WH after only 4 years.

Great service, fast response. Action was recommended to me by a coworker. Kent answered my call and called me back that night to schedule. He asked me where I worked and if I needed ample time to get home before the appointment; I said yes, about 15 minutes. Sure enough, the day of my appointment, his technician called and gave me a heads up that he was ready to head my way. I appreciate that level of service. The work only took about 20 minutes, but I was still charged for the full hour, which was pricier than I expected but not enough to sway me from a positive review. They did great work - toilet is fixed, new flex line is installed and my sanity is restored to normal :) The technician, Brian, was extremely polite, easy to work with and punctual. They all are professional, but extremely friendly. Will highly recommend to other friends when they need a plumber.
Description of Work: Replaced broken toilet fill valve; installed flexible water line.

He is really good. He is not a chatter box, he just comes in and gets the work done. He has fair prices. I have two major properties he does for me. He is really prompt.

The price was cheap enough that we liked them. It was very reasonable. The guy was very up front to tell us that he would be getting time and a half to come out at a certain time. He was always able to work out. He was very friendly and informative.
Description of Work: Action Plumbing came in and helped us with the sump pump.

Action plumbing was referred to us by someone at my husband's work. We are getting a new gas range and needed a gas line brought into our kitchen for the hookup. Kent came out within two days of when we called. He was prompt and professional. Ran a new gas line from the basement to the kitchen and explained everything well when he was finished. He also fixed an issue with our water heater while he was here, saving us another service call. He was done sooner than expected, was careful to remove shoes, was very courteous, and his prices were very fair. He answered all my questions. I would recommend Kent and Action Plumbing without hesitation.

See the above. Overall a good experience for plumbing services and I would definitely use him again.
Description of Work: On initial call Ken couldn't come that day and I was not prepared to wait through a weekend so he then changed his schedule to fit me in later that day on a Friday. He was punctual, even slightly early to my house. I had three drains backing up and he quickly de-clogged them off large hair-clogs and even showed me how to do it next time. Being a single mom I found this very helpful. Cost was a little steep I thought for less than an hour work but what plumbing isn't expensive.

Very bad experience, caused a lot of stress and cost me a lot of $$ to fix it right. Run Away.
Description of Work: customer showed up, only had 1 part needed. wanted to charge me extra time and labor to go get the part he needed. He turned the water on while the valve on the shower was off so i had some minor water damage. They refused to fix and come back and make it right after 5pm. I ended up calling a different plumber who fixed the job correctly. do not use this plumber!

The first time I called Action Plumbing was in January 2012 when I needed a valve replaced where the water pipes enter the house. Kent took a look and was unable to complete the project because I needed to have the city turn the water off. Did so, then called him back, and he came to try it again but found that the problem was actually in the service line itself and we were going to need a backhoe service. To my surprise, after coming out to the house twice, he didn't charge me at all! He said since he wasn't able to fix it, he didn't expect me to pay! I could not believe there was no service charge! I've called them since for 2 other smaller jobs, and each time Kent (the owner) was prompt, professional, unbelievably knowledgeable and efficient, and affordable. I've used several other plumbers in the area and Action Plumbing is the best by far. I highly recommend him!

He brought a helper with him and I got charged for two plumbers. I thought I would be told this before they started the work. At one point the boss left for an hour. We still got charged for two people for that hour. My son was having problems with the drain and we had him run the snake down the drain and he charged us a full $85 and he was already at my sons house doing other things, which I thought was a little unfair. I just thought he would have let me know there was another plumber with him and it was going to cost. It was 3 hours times 2 plumbers. There was no introduction or estimate of what it might cost.
Description of Work: I hired a plumber to hook up my sons new kitchen. He was changing from electric to gas. They had to hook up a new dishwasher and garbage disposal.

Great
Description of Work: Desperately needed a new water heater. Kent responded immediately, did the replacement and even fixed things that he did not charge for. Friendly and polite. I would definitely call again. I am not sure about the cost of water heaters, but that is my fault for not researching this. We were desperate, as I said, so I would say that the cost was fair, in the real sense of the word.

I called Action Plumbing and spoke with Kent. He came out and after looking at the faucet he said he would be able to rebuild the faucet instead of replacing it. It only coast me $5 for the repair and $75 for the labor. Kent had the repair completed in less than an hour. Kent is very professional (he even removed his shoes when he entered the house) and personable.

Avoid at all costs. Try someone else.
Description of Work: I needed two shower valves replaced. He went to store and found only 1 so he suggested I go and buy the part myself across town. He said I could do it myself. Big mistake. He also turned on the water while the 1 faulty unit was removed and it made a huge mess of water. I think this tattoo guy was on drugs. My wife told him not to turn the water on. . I had to call another plumber the next day to fix his mess. Avoid this place at all costs.

Drain was cleaned out. Next day it was baking up again. I called and was told it must be that our septic tank is full. I had that emptied several days later and was told by that individual that shouldn't have caused the problem. I called Action plumbing again and they returned and leaned the drain out again. Now it didn't back up but the kitchen sink gurgles when the washer empties. He was made aware of that and said he wasn't sure why that was happening cause the drain is clear. While he didn't charge me for the return visit, I still have a draining problem. I'll be calling another plumber.

We requested them to come and fix it. He came and did some items, but as soon as he left it leaked again. So we called him to come back and asked since we already paid for an hour of his time and it was still leaking that the first hour we would not be charged and he said no, it was the nature of the business that it was a hit or miss and he would still charge us to come back. We called another plumber and he realized the problem and fixed it correctly, so we paid for Action Plumbing to come and fix nothing. I would not recommend them at all.
Description of Work: We had a leaking shower on the main floor leaking into our finished basement.
