Once again, Birch Plumbing to the rescue. We had a leak from an upstairs bathroom coming through our kitchen ceiling. They came right out, quickly found the problem, repaired it and cleaned up. We so appreciate their fast service and honest billing practices. We wouldn't use anyone else to work on the plumbing in our 100 year old home.

Will add to this review with cost after Monday's replacement.
Description of Work: Steve was in the neighborhood on a Saturday 3p asked if I minded if he checked out the leak so he would know how to schedule it for Monday (we had a steady drip but didn't want to pay weekend rate if possible). He managed to get the drip to slow to a minuscule amount.That alone gets our A rating bc night before we had to monitor the drip to empty the bucket every 2-3 hours. Will post how the valve replacement goes on Monday!

Kevin from Birch Plumbing Came to our house,. Arriving on time, he completed the work quickly and Satisfactorily. There was no mess left. If I may add this. The person I called, before remembering Angie's List, wanted to charge me $125, just to come out. This was more then Birch Plumbing charged to complete the job. I was very pleased.

Kevin's knowledge on repairs and installation was great.
Description of Work: We had to look for a new plumber so after reading the reviews on Angieslist we contacted Birch Plumbing. Steve listen to our need and sent Kevin for the repairs, which turn out to be the replacement of the garbage disposal. Kevin discovered a leak from the faucet and informed us to contact Kohler for the part or possible total replacement. Kevin installed a new valve today and the faucet is working better than when it was first installed four years ago. Birch Plumbing has a very and new satisfied customer.

My water heater wore out on Thursday. I called Birch Plumbing as they had the best reviews. They answered immediately, even though it was well into the evening, and we set an appointment for the next day, within a 30 minute time slot. Two men were involved - one showed up at the beginning of the time slot and began to uninstall the old heater. Meanwhile the other man went to get a new heater. They were well coordinated - within minutes after the old unit was ready to carry out, the new one arrived. Both men were completely professional: clean, confident, friendly and polite. The new unit was put in quickly. They found some pitting in the exhaust vent and replaced that free. The cost to me was exactly as quoted. I will absolutely call these guys at the next plumbing problem that I have, and I highly recommend them!

Steve was easy to reach. John showed up on time, completed the inspection and paperwork without delay. Was about 20 hours total from my Angie's List email to job completion. They submit the report and notify me by email. Piece of cake. Professional tradesmen, right price, done promptly.

I texted Steve early on a Monday morning about a leak under the sink in my rental house. Steve texted later to say someone had cancelled that morning so John came out to the house a few hours after I texted. John fixed the plumbing problem and examined the dishwasher after the tenants told him it wouldn't drain. John then gave me the name of a repair man for the dishwasher. John did a great job like he always does.
Description of Work: They fixed a plumbing leak under the sink and also did some troubleshooting on the dishwasher.

We saw that Birch Plumbing had high ratings so I gave them a call because we had no hot water. He came right out and checked everything and was able to give us warmer water till they came and installed the new one. Very nice people that do a good job.

They came out the same day I called and completed the work in approximately 2.5 hours. They made a mistake on the size of the water heater (I originally wanted a 40 gal) but offered me $50 off of the 50 gal so I went with that size instead. Price seemed a little high but after checking two other competitors they were right in the middle. They use Bradford White water heaters and that's what I had previously. My original one lasted 14 years so was delighted to stay with that brand (made in the USA).

Birch responded promptly to our call on a Monday morning after the city had to come out and turn off the water the night before, due to a break in the line underneath the basement floor coming from the meter. He quickly evaluated the scope of the problem, but was going to be backed up with prior jobs for a while, and gave us suggestions for a couple of other possible plumbers. When neither of the others were able to respond promptly, and we had been without water for two days, I called Birch back and he agreed to work the job in the next day. The plumbers arrived by 8:45 the following morning, as promised, got right to work and were done shortly after noon. They turned the water back on and tested everything to make sure all faucets and lines were working properly, and all was good. We very much appreciate Birch working this job into a tight schedule this week, and are happy with the work.
Description of Work: Moved water meter out of pit in basement floor, elevated it and ran a new overhead incoming water ;line in place of the one under the concrete floor that had a break somewhere.

They responded within less than a half hour after I called (while another plumber I had called earlier in the morning and who had said they would call me back, had not even called me back, even after another voice mail left by me a few hours after my initial call). The guys from Birch Plumbing evaluated the situation quickly and within less than an hour, they had completed the repair and gone. They were very polite and professional, and I felt the cost was very reasonable and less than what i was afraid it was going to be.
Description of Work: Replaced a piece of pipe that ran from an indoor pipe to the outdoor spigot, which was leaking, along with an indoor shut-off valve that was much easier to use than the old one had been, and an easier on/off valve for the outdoor spigot.

Steve handled taking my calls and set up a next day service call appointment for me for repair work on my home's water heater. He was very polite, professional & accommodating. John is the one providing the service. He drained the sludge out of the water heater and then installed a plug in order to stop a drain valve from leaking. John was very polite & also explained everything he did and was very accommodating in answering any questions I had. Their charge was very reasonable & affordable. This is a great company for plumbing needs! I will definitely use them again!

Customer never contacted us when she was ready. To: "birchplumbing@att.net" Subject: Re: Plumbing I just need everything ready to go when I'm ready...

Very happy with Birch; took a chance when we needed some fixing on a couple of pipes and augering of a couple of drains. Great service from John who was explanatory about what was going on - also did not give us another trip charge for coming back the next day. Overall, I think we have a constant plumber to call now!
