The plumber and his helper were courteous and friendly. Arrived about 8:15am. They worked hard to make everything work more efficiently and look nice too. They answered my questions and explained what they were doing and why. They cleaned up and left no mess. I am very pleased with the work, and my water pressure is much better now, even though that wasn't why I had the work done.
Description of Work: I am re-doing my laundry room, and was tired of having the washing machine hoses so far from pipes. They came in and cleaned up the excess copper pipe that had been used for water softener and conditioner that were removed 25 yrs ago.. They ran new pipe into laundry sink cabinet, adding shut off ball valves instead of the old gate valves. They installed a new laundry sink cabinet that I bought, hooking everything back up. Also changed sill **** outside.

Scheduling the appointment was easy. Service man, Bob, called before his arrival which was in the early part of the window that I was given. Problem was located and fixed quickly. Clean up of the area was completed. Service man also inspected another problem which had arisen since the appointment was scheduled. He was able to diagnose the problem quickly and provide a solution.

Arrived about twenty minutes before scheduled appointment and with their powerful machine run router-auger cut through the clog and pushed in out in less than fifteen minutes. Since I wasn't home at the time my wife also asked them to re-install the lower bathroom toilet which I had originally removed three days before trying to get unsuccessfully to the clog. Since this all happened on New Year's eve, I knew it would be a couple days before I could get a plumber, hence trying to fix it myself. Bottom line, the $229. special they charged me for the first hour drain cleaning worked like a charm and the additional $110 was a fair price for re-installing the toilet. (They put on a new water line and new washers and screws and reinstalled flange, reset the tank bowl and put the toilet back into place) Got home finally before Tom and his partner left and they went over their guarantee and were professional a cordial and even gave us a ten dollar senior citizen discount

Above and beyond does not begin to describe the service. They asked for cleaning products so that they could clean the area where they removed the old toilet before installing the new one. The area was left spotless. I was charged a fixed rate for changing the toilet and then given an hourly rate that would be added on for changing the sump pump. The two workers were so efficient and professional that they finished ahead of the estimated time and my bill was about $50 less than the phone estimate. I recommend this company very highly.

Tom A. and Mason did a wonderful job installing my bathroom faucet. Arrived on time and very courteous and am very happy with the service. This was a last minute call and they were able to come within a few hours. Because I have an older home, I got an idea what it would cost to fix another plumbing issue I have and will definitely call them to schedule.

I had used Dhamer in the past for drain cleanings and they always did a good job but my last time was bad. I was concerned when the first words out of the plumbers mouth we, 'this is an old house so if we break anything, it's not our fault." Then they cleared the drain in 15 minutes and charged me $155. They say the first hour is $155 and in the past if they finished quickly, they would discount it a little which made sense. But this time I got a story about how it is "policy" and they couldn't discount it, which they had done numerous times in the past. Then after arguing politely but unsuccessfully with both the plumber and the office manager Terry for a small discount, I paid the full price. Then I go back to the shower and find stinky black gunk on the shower floor. After charging me $155 for 15 minutes work, he didn't even clean up the mess. Done with Dhamer!

Response from Jim Dhamer Plumbing and Sewer Inc
Our company provides drain cleanings at consistent, flat rate pricing. Some drains are cleared in less than 1 hour. Older homes can be vulnerable since pipes can be compromised and may have rotted sections due to age. This often does not present itself to the homeowner until a rodding is attempted, therefore the plumber will inform the [Member Information Removed] of this potential issue. We were happy to restore drainage in your shower and apply the $10.00 [Member Information Removed] discount at the time of service.

We have used Jim Dhamer many times in the past and have always been pleased, but no more. We called to schedule service and the woman who answered the phone seemed confused about what we needed, which is fine, we don't expect her to be a plumber. Except she ARGUED with us about it. Then she told us we had told her the job was outside the house, not inside. Finally she said she would just have a plumber call us to discuss and set up the job. We waited three days. No call. I really prefer to patronize local businesses, but this was ridiculously unprofessional.
Description of Work: We needed a valve replaced at the water shutoff site in the basement. It had deteriorated and was close to leaking.

Very professional, friendly service men. Honest and reliable. Also very quick response time.
Description of Work: They have come out a couple of times to help fix leaks and replace a sump pump. I was referred to them by a favebook group, Angie's list, and my Inlaws. I had called a couple of places and Dhamer plumbing was the only one that showed up on time (some other companies didn't even bother to show up at appointment time). They were honest and told me the problem and what needed to be replaced now and what could wait. They are now my go to plumbers. I won't be using any other company. They are the best.

This company is my usual plumber, they previously installed toilets and an ejector pump. I asked for an estimate about a month ago, and scheduled the job. They had thought it might take 2 hrs, but due to some problems it took 3. The plumber and the helper were courteous and professional, they cleaned up everything, and hauled away the old base. I am very pleased with the work, I would not have been able to do it. I am going to tile the rest of the shower myself.
Description of Work: Removed old and installed a new Swanstone shower base that I ordered from Swan. They had to mortar it in and connect drain. They also replaced some faucet cartridges and a shower arm and flange while they were here.
