I contacted Welter on 6/27 and was able to schedule them to come the next day. The plumber arrived exactly on time and put on shoe covers before he came in to the house. I showed him the problem sink and he was able to get the sink cleared in just about 15 minutes (wish I hadn't waited four months to do something about it!). He cleaned up after himself and was on his way in short order. I was very pleased with how quickly I was able to get the appointment and with how quickly the work went.
Description of Work: The bathroom sink was draining very slowly and home remedies (Liquid Plumber) no longer worked. Welter came and rodded out the sink drain completely which solved the problem.

We have used this company multiple times. It’s been a good experience. They were reliable; they came and did the work, and fixed the problems. They did fine. They were friendly, and they came when they said they would.
Description of Work: They have done some plumbing work for us. They installed and worked on a kitchen faucet for us most recently. They have also done work on our toilet.

One morning I woke up and my daughter mentioned that her toilet was broken. I took the top off and saw that the plastic arm holding the large ball (float?) had broken. Since I have used them before, I called Welter at 10AM. I got an answering machine and left a message. I was concerned that they might not call me back. At 10:10 they called and said that they'd be at my house in the late afternoon. They couldn't lock in a time because they'd have to squeeze me in. As it turned out their team was at my house by 3 in the afternoon. They came in and I showed them the bathroom where the toilet was. Kevin (I think) said that the new fixture he was going to put in doesn't have a float or an arm and is more efficient. Since I have 4 toilets that all have the old ball / float system and will probably break soon I decided to have them replace them all. I figured that I'd save a future service call if I did it now. They were fast and replaced all the fixtures and were done in just over an hour. They had me go with them to see that they had replaced the fixtures and show me that they all were working. They cleaned up and were very courteous.
Description of Work: Removed old ball c****(?) from toilets. Replaced them with new armless ones.

I've never had our line to the sewer routed. I was concerned that it might back up. I know one of the Welter family and asked him if I should be concerned about a backup. He was honest and said it's something most people don't do until it's too late. So, I had them come out to do the job. They called before coming and showed up on time. There was a 2 man crew. They came in and went directly to the basement. They wasted no time and got to work. They were done in under an hour. They were fast, courteous, and cleaned up. They explained what they had done and said my lines were good. They recommended that this be done every couple of years.
Description of Work: Cleaned and routed the line from my home to the sewer.

They arrived an hour after being called, on a Saturday, to remove the old leaking toilet which was discovered during other maintenance. They returned early Monday morning to complete the remainder of the job as noted above. Welter has been our plumber for almost 20 years. Brian and Roger did an exceptional job, including leaving the house clean and neat. Welter Plumbing has never disappointed us in all these years and have saved our little house on more than one occasion.
Description of Work: Leaking toilet was removed. New flange was installed and leaded. New toilet was installed. Leaking bathroom faucet was removed. New faucet was installed. Back-up sewage ejector pump was installed and configured with existing pump.

Two men came out to make these repairs. They were on time and very professional and courteous. For the backyard pipe they had to drill a new opening through the brick of my house and install a new spigot. They also removed the existing pipe from the turn-off valve inside my home which leads to the front spigot, installed a new one and installed a new spigot attachment there as well. They also were able to replace some parts in an old faucet in my laundry area which was dripping. The hose attachment in my kitchen sink had begun to leak and they fixed that as well. All this was accomplished in about 2-1/2 hours. I'm very pleased with the results and their workmanship and professionalism.
Description of Work: I had a broken water pipe leading to my backyard spigot. Because that pipe could not be replaced due to the fact that the original pipe was under the floor of my family room add-on, a new pipe needed to be rerouted to a new location in my yard. Also needed to replace my front spigot which was leaking and inside turn-off valve which I had a leakage problem with, as well.

On the first visit they made the problem worse but then they did come back and took care of the situation. They also did a few other things while they were here and they did those fine. I was satisfied with their work and how they handled the toilet that wasn't fixed on the first visit. I did not comparison shop for the pricing but I did think it was reasonable for the work they did.

Because of a leaking water filter hose, I called Welter on Wednesday to request service for the 3 problems. His Thursday schedule was full, so he scheduled me for 7:30 a.m. Friday. Brian and his assistant showed up on time and finished by 8:45 a.m. He was efficient, tidy and agreeably forthcoming with information about the problems and his proposed remedies. I especially appreciated his "Give me a minute, I can figure this out" attitude when the filter hoses turned out to be of a size and configuration no longer carried by him (and, I quickly confirmed, either by the filter's manufacturer or by two local hardware stores). After advising against replacing the braided steel hoses with less sturdy nylon or PVC, he created the required female-to-female steel compression hose by connecting two shorter male-to-female hoses to one another with a brass nipple. The result made for a much better use of space beneath the counter and less twisting of the hose.
Description of Work: Brian dealt with three faucets with various problems. He replaced two leaking flexible water supply lines to an under-the-counter water filter in the kitchen. He installed a new barrel and O-rings on a Moen kitchen faucet that was losing its ability to separate hot and cold water. He installed a new Gerber laundry tub faucet, replacing the crumbling original 1959-era faucet in our basement. Also checked out the screens on the washing machine to confirm that the water supply was functioning as it should.

water heater repair

We called this company because our home's previous owner had used them to install the water heater many years ago (a sticker was on the heater). The water heater began leaking Friday night, so we left a message on Welter's office machine. He called back Saturday morning pretty quickly with a clear and understandable quote, which turned out better than other companies we had also called. He was available that day and he completed the work by Saturday afternoon. This was a big relief because we had other household concerns simultaneously. My only concern worth mentioning was their minimal awareness of energy efficiency and, while the heater he installed is pretty efficient, we didn't feel we were presented with options in this regard. On a good note, however, the heater he installed appears to be high quality in all other aspects.
Description of Work: Removed a broken water heater and replaced with a new one.

I was impressed. The faucet had actually been repaired a few weeks earlier by a different plumber, who'd somehow made it worse. Yet another plumber had come in and said it would be impossible to fix without blasting the pipes with nitrogen; the same plumber said it would be too much trouble to clear the drain, because it was a pedestal sink. Brian walked in and made everything look easy. He knew what the first plumber had done wrong, corrected it, and made improvements; and he cleared the sink with no fuss. He was done in under an hour. Totally smart, totally professional.
Description of Work: Brian (I think) fixed a badly leaking tub faucet and cleared a slow sink drain.

I covered it all in the previous section. However, overall, as the people who recommended Welter Plumbing to me on Angie's List said, they were very pleasant people and very professional and did a great job. I feel that I have a plumbing company that I can call on with confidence with any problem large or small.
Description of Work: Please note: the hot water heater itself was @$800.00. The rest was additional plumbing work. I had a new 50 gallon hot water heater installed plus as much of the old lead pipe as they could reach without taking out walls replaced with new copper piping. I also had three faucets repaired. In comparison with other companies, their cost was fair and their estimate was accurate. They were very responsive and on time. The two workers were very professional. I was unable to get to the basement. They found what was needed and worked quickly and efficiently. They answered all of my questions thoroughly and politely. They had all of the additional piping and faucet supplies in their truck. I had an additional project which they completed with no problem. They cleaned up the work space. After they left I had a question. One of the owners called me before he left for vacation to give me advice. As the people who recommended them to me on Angie's List said, they were very nice people.

Contacted Jerry Welter about stopped-up toilet and running water in 2 toilets. We set up an appointment between 9 and 12 the following day. Two plumbers arrived at 9:30 am and immediately went to work. I also asked if they could take a look at the kitchen sink that was backing up. No problem and they would check it while there. They augured the toilet and found the stoppage, replaced the tank parts and proceeded to rod the kitchen sink. I was especially impressed with the things I didn't have to ask them to do. They just did them. They removed supplies under the sink and were very careful to cover the cabinetry and floors before doing any work. Brian also checked the basement to be sure there was no stoppage as a result of the rodding above. He was informative and responsive to my questions regarding the work process. I was pleased with the fast service (next day) and a job well done. The pricing seems a little high but I was given an accurate estimate prior to the appointment.
Description of Work: Rodded kitchen sink, installed replacement trap and tail piece on same sink. Augured 1 toilet, installed repair kits, ballcock and supply lines in 2 toilets. Installed new aerator on kitchen faucet.

All of this was done by carrying the whirlpool, concrete debris, concrete fill, mortar and tools up and down two sets of stairs. They placed protective canvas cloths down and cleaned up their mess completely. Not one smudge on any of the walls, no door nicks, etc. All of this was done in less than 7 hours, including a lunch break. I recommend Welter Plumbing to anyone.
Description of Work: This company installed a whirlpool tub in basement bathroom. They had to break out drain in concrete floor because builder placed it in wrong location. After correcting drain location, they had to patch concrete floor, replace original valve because builder failed to furnish faucet, set the tub in mortar, anchor tub while mortar dried. They also installed a drain for future vanity.

Within a half an hour two men showed up at the door. Within the hour the drain was opened. I was impressed with their professional manner. When they came inside they took off their shoes (which wasn't necessary, but appreciated!), then they looked at the problem told me how they would fix it, fixed it, cleaned up any mess they made and then checked all the surrounding plumbing fixtures to make sure everything was working well. As I said before, I was impressed with the overall experience from the initial phone to the end result. I would use Welter Plumbing again when I need them. I have had other plumbers in the past addressing this drain back-up, and they seem to stall and think about what they need to do, run into a problem while fixing the drain, think about what they need to do about the drain, etc. With the guys at Welter, there was no nonsense, bam, it was fixed fast.
Description of Work: I had a tub drain and bathroom sink back up. I called on a Saturday and asked if someone could come out that day. Dan who took my phone call told me someone would be out within the hour for the house call.

WHEN I CALLED, THE OWNER ANSWERED AND SAID HE WAS GOING TO BE IN MY AREA THE NEXT DAY. WE SET UP AN APPT WITH A RANGE OF 3 HOURS. HE AND AN ASSISTANT CAME WITHIN THE TIMEFRAME STATED. THEY WERE VERY FRIENDLY AND EASY TO TALK TO AND CLEANED UP AFTER THEMSELVES. THE OWNER GAVE ME SOME ADVICE NOT TO USE THE TABLETS IN MY TANK TO CLEAN THE BOWL. THIS IS PROBABLY WHAT RUINED THE PARTS INSIDE THE TANK WHICH CAUSED IT TO FILL UP SO SLOWLY. I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THEM.
Description of Work: OUR POWDER ROOM TOILET WAS CLOGGED. WELTER CAME OUT AND CLEARED THE BLOCKAGE AND ALSO NOTED THAT WE NEEDED NEW PARTS INSIDE THE TANK. I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT THIS IS CALLED. BUT, THEY REPLACED THE PARTS SO THE WATER WOULD FILL UP FASTER.
