The team at compass have helped take care of multiple projects around the house and have been incredibly professional, warm, and responsive. They're quick, reasonably priced, and nice! It's been refreshing to work with them and we'll definitely be enlisting their help on future projects!

Rick and his crew did a phenomenal job. The water company needed to replace a outside shutoff valve which was discovered inoperable by Rick's company. But they stuck in with my project until completion which I very grateful.

The job was completed correctly after I paid way too much. Always ask for receipt to prove price breakdown of parts and labor... I have learned the hard way.
Description of Work: I had the motor replaced that was not functional to my bath tub with jets by Compass Plumbing. The switch was also replaced by them. When they called me to let me know the Kohler Motor for my tub arrived I was told the job will be $809.00. I asked how much the motor cost and was informed $600.00. I believed Rich and his team and told them to go ahead. Later, I had called Kohler (when my husband thought price for motor was outrageous) and gave tub model number and was told the motor price for my tub was $275.00. My oversight for not asking for receipt for motor or checking with Kohler first. I trusted Compass Plumbing to be honest. Needless to say, I will never use Compass plumbing again. I was also charged $175.00 for new switch for tub in addition to the $809.00. Total fraud!

They never responded to resolve the problem
Description of Work: They installed a sump pump, which started to turn on all of the time no matter what only two years later. They came out after several calls only to say everything was ok (and charged me a service call fee.) A few weeks later the motor burnt out entirely. They did not respond at all this time. I had to hire someone else to replace the pump. Terrible customer service!

The entire experience was very professional and considering the nature of our situation as pleasant as possible. They showed up on time, gave a very thorough explanation for the necessary repairs and were very polite throughout the entire process. We called them back the following day to address a concern of ours which they happily did. At no point did the gentleman who returned have anything but a great attitude, even while being beckoned late on a Saturday night. He arrived within a half an hour after receiving our call to show us that the repairs were indeed completed properly (we were admittedly on edge after having our pipes burst for the first time as home owners). I would highly recommend Compass Plumbing to anyone who needs repairs done quickly and professionally. Should any other issues arise again (hopefully in the very distant future) I will definitely call them.
Description of Work: assessed and repaired broken water pipes.

I thought it went well, not exactly knowing before hand what a toilet tune consisted of. They were very professional and the whole house plumbing inspection was helpful in making me aware of other issues I need to correct. The reason why I purchase the toilet tune up was to find out what was making our toilets run randomly throughout the day. They tweaked and adjsuted both toilets, and I was hoping they would at least find the problem. Unfortunately, a couple of hours after they left the toilets were running again. I ended up rolling up my sleeves and poking around. I decided to replace the flush valve seals myself, and problem solved.
Description of Work: 2 toilets tune ups.

Description of Work: On his initial visit, they did the toilet tune-up I purchased. I had a list of 3 other jobs, which ending up costing $400. The bad part was that the kitchen faucet they fixed is operating too stiffly.

Description of Work: I called because of a noisy toilet. They fixed that problem with a new part and it was fine. The part was expensive (I think) but they had it available. They also fixed a couple of minor things (stopper in bathroom sink was one) at no cost. They checked out all other plumbing in my home. Overall, I was very pleased with their professionalism and service.

I originally bought the Angie's List Big Deal for $39 for the tuneup of one bathroom toilet and house inspection. After they arrived they found that I needed a part replaced, which was not a shocker since my toilet had not been flushing properly for some time now. I had a few friends look at it, not plumbers but guys that know the basics and we never were able to get it fixed. Rich was super responsive to my e-mails which is ALWAYS appreciated. He was very polite and accomodating. The guys that came to do the work were EXACTLY on time, did the job in a timely and efficient manner, waited for me to get home so I could pay them (I had my brother at my house to let them in) and gave me a quote on something else I need without trying to pressure me into buying it. I will definately recommend them to others and would definately use their services again.
Description of Work: A tuneup and home inspection along with replacing a part that I needed.

The pipes had been leaking on a wall next to our basement. They had to go through concrete flooring to get it it, and they did an excellent job. They charged a fair amount, and they were just extremely helpful and considerate.
Description of Work: They replaced major sewage pipe that had become disconnected after improper installation 40 years ago when our home was built.

Over the years I have never had a problem with him; if it has been an emergency he has come here immediately that day. He holds that to be very important for his customers. He has always been here for us and I will use him again in the future.
Description of Work: I used Compass Plumbing to come out on Christmas night and routed out the sewer line. He also had to replace part of the sewer line. After being here on Christmas night, on January 10, he came back and dug out part of my laundry room cement floor to remove a pea trap and part of the sewer line. He reviewed it and found out that when my home builder put in cast iron sewer line they put it together with lead back when the home was built in 1972. He said the home builder's plumbers were messy with the lead jointing and let the lead slop inside the pipe. For all these years it has been okay but somehow it finally got loose and the actual piece of lead that was loose inside the pipe became dislodged and ended up blocking the line. So he had to remove that portion of the sewer line and put in new sewer line.

They were prompt, polite and they were good about telling why my previous fixture had failed soon after it was installed. I would use them again.
