water heater repair

Great experience! When I was in the process of researching different water heater options in order to make the best choice for our house, R & S Plumbing was very helpful in answering my questions. They were very patient and even called the manufacturer to get additional information for me. The installation went smoothly with no problems. Jim was on time, worked quickly and cleaned up after the work was completed. This is the second time R&S has done work in our home. They are efficient, professional, friendly, reliable and reasonably priced. I highly recommend them for your plumbing needs!
Description of Work: Our old water heater was removed and a 50 gallon A.O. Smith unit was installed in the same location. We also had a hose bib installed.

Competitors gave me useless information. He had all the tools and did a very good job! He was less expensive than competitors. I recommended him to my friend and she was very pleased as well.

It went great! He was professional, personable and quick. The plumber did the two drains and looked at some of the other ones while he was there (just in case). Also replace the gaskets for some leaky faucets. Really above and beyond for service. Angie's List really made a difference. We have had bad and expensive plumbers in the past and always ended up feeling ripped off. Not the case this time!

The gentleman was on time and very personable. However, he gave us his verbal estimate based on time and materials. When asked to put in writing, he advised that he would then have to give us a flat rate cost estimate, which was more. We were not comfortable that if we only went with his verbal estimate he would charge us less, especially on a time and materials basis. Which, on an old kitchen remodel is somewhat open-ended because you never know what is luring behind old walls. We chose not to go with this company because of the change in cost when asked to put in writing.
Description of Work: Kitchen remodel/updated plumbing. Based on recommendations we had read, we requested this company estimate updating kitchen wastelines, replacement of water lines, hook up of dishwasher etc.

The work was performed quickly and professionally. When earlier calls finished sooner, I was called to see if I was interested in moving my appointment to earlier in the day and they arrived at the revised time. Everything done in less than 45 minutes. I was very happy with their service once again.

I scheduled a Wednesday appointment to have an estimate provided ON A HOUSE I WOULD BE CLOSING ON TWO DAYS LATER. The secretary called me 1 hour before the appointment and asked if I could move it to Thursday between 1pm and 2pm because they had an emergency. I agreed. I received a call on my cell phone on Thursday morning but was unable to pick it up, so I called the number back. I started talking about the estimate and the plumber told me I wasn't supposed to call his cell phone but rather call the office. I told him I was simply returning his call. That's when he began to blow up at me. He called me because he went to the house MORE THAN 5 HOURS earlier than scheduled (WITHOUT CALLING ME) and ran into the current owner.He continued yelling at me saying he couldn't perform an estimate on a house that I didn't own. I told him that I had permission from the owner and all Realtors to be at the house DURING THE SCHEDULED TIME.He continued to yell at me, then PROCEEDED TO HANG UP ON ME!!!
Description of Work: I wanted to rough in the basement for a walk in shower, replace the hot water heater and reroute some gas lines.

Response from R & S Plumbing Inc
IN RESPONSE TO HIS APPARENT TIRADE TO DISCREDIT OUR COMPANY, I WOULD LIKE TO TELL MY SIDE OF THE STORY. A FLUKE SPRING SNOWSTORM CAUSED US TO CANCEL ANY CALLS THAT WERE SCHEDULED NON EMERGENCY THAT DAY. THIS INCLUDED HIS FREE ESTIMATE. THE NEXT DAY I HAPPEN TO BE IN THE AREA, AND DECIDED TO STOP BY ON THE CHANCE I COULD GIVE HIM HIS ESTIMATE. WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE RESIDENCE I MET A GENTLEMAN WHO CLAIMED TO BE THE OWNER AND HAD NO IDEA OF WHAT WAS GOING ON, HE CLAIMED THAT THE MEMBER WAS A POTENTIAL BUYER BUT DID NOT HAVE ACTUAL OWNERSHIP AT THAT TIME. HE ALSO CLAIMED THAT THE MEMBER WAS ENTERING THE HOUSE WITHOUT HIS KNOWLEDGE AND TRYING TO MAKE CHANGES SUCH AS RIPPING UP CARPET ETC. THE RIGHTFUL OWNER WAS QUITE UPSET AND SAID HE DID NOT KNOW HOW HE WAS GAINING ACCESS AND GETTING INSIDE. WITH THIS INFORMATION I CONTACTED THE MEMBER TO EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED AND THAT'S WHEN HE WENT OFF CLAIMING THAT HE WAS ACTING ON THE PERMISSION OF SOMEONE, WHEN THAT CLEARLY WAS NOT THE CASE. I TOLD HIM I WOULD BE HAPPY TO COME BACK LATER WHEN HE TOOK POSSESSION OF THE HOUSE TO GIVE HIM HIS ESTIMATE, DID I MENTION IT WAS FREE!!! THIS IS WHEN HE WENT BALLISTIC SAYING THAT HE WOULD DESTROY ME ON ANGIE'S LIST FOR NOT SUBMITTING TO HIS DEMANDS. THAT IS WHEN I DECIDED TO JUST LET IT GO AND NOT GET INVOLVED ANY FURTHER WITH SOMEONE WHO CLEARLY HAS ANGER MANAGEMENT ISSUES AS SEEN HERE IN HIS THREE RESPONSES FOR THE SAME POSTING. R&S PLUMBINGS REPUTATION CLEARLY SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.

Ron was very punctual, in fact he called to see if he could come a little earlier. At first there was a little confusion on what he was supposed to look at. But he and my husband worked it out and Ron quickly accessed the situation and found the problem. He was very professional and we will probably have him come back to do some other plumbing work.
Description of Work: Ron came out to look for a leak that was causing water damage in our 3rd bathroom. He wound up having to cut a hole in our ceiling to look at the pipes above the ceiling and determined that the leak was coming from our master bath shower drain which was located directly above. He re-siliconed the drain and told us to keep an eye on the piping to make sure it did not show signs of leaking before we re-sealed the hole in the ceiling.

That's the problem. Mark (the plumber) didn't know about garbage disposal but had one in an open box on the truck. He tried resetting it AFTER he uninstalled it. When he said the faucet was the problem I said "oh, does it need a new washer?" - he said, no, buy a new faucet. Then he said, oh, you could try calling Moen. He said the faucet had a broken vacuum seal. I told the Moen guy that - he said "put the plumber on the phone." Turns out they don't have seals - it was an O-ring (aka "washer"). This did not make me feel comfortable with Marks knowledge level. And I wonder - did I REALLY need the new garbage disposal? Or if he tried resetting it while it was CONNECTED maybe it would have worked....
Description of Work: Called & told them my garbage disposal didn't work - that my friend told me I could reset using a button, and I could not find the button. Said that when I was investigating that found a leak under sink. Ended up replacing garbage disposal & O-ring on faucet.

Fabulous. I've been burned so many times by other plumbers! But the R&S guys are the best!!!! I called them after hours and left a voicemail; they called me that evening just to get more information and schedule the visit for the next day. Courteous, honest, talented, and quick. I have a plumber for life!

He put it in on the 9th of January and it has been working great. All of the other plumbers have been wrong and he got the problem fixed. He is my new plumber. He saved me a lot of money, time, and trouble, and also guaranteed his work. The price was higher but he actually fixed the problem which is worth it.

We called in the morning of a sub-zero day and were here 2 hours later. He took off his shoes when he came in. He couldn't find the source of the leak right away and stuck with it until he did. Finally found it in the bathroom. Noticed that something on the shower needed a part and went ahead and fixed it. Hung out a bit to see if anything still leaked. It was nice that he was explaining things as he went along so there we were getting educated on the dos and don'ts at the same time. So nice and friendly. Would definitely call again!!

We were pleased with the results. The clean outs, the rodding out of the pipe from the kitchen sink, and the replacement of the pipe going through the floor by the washing machine had not been asked for by us, but were welcomed changes to the work being done. The job took just two hours to complete and the bill was less than the minimum estimate quoted.
Description of Work: Replaced about a 30 foot long section of an old completely plugged 3 Inch cast iron pipe drain line (in the crawl space) leading from our washing machine to the sewer line. Provided adequate slope for the line by suspending it from the floor joists. Installed adequate clean outs. Rodded another short cast iron pipe from the kitchen sink. Provided a larger diameter pipe, through the floor to the crawl space, adjacent to the washing machine to increase its capacity for receiving the discharge from the machine.

Great job. Didn't try and scam me for an entirely new ejector pump. Just the switch was defective. A difference of $300+ dollars that he saved me. Honest and prompt.

Excellent! For the past six months, whenever it rained heavily, the drain outside our laundry room back door did not drain and the water filled up the stairwell to the outside patio and leaked into the laundry room. Thinking this was a sewer drain, I tried Drano but it only got worse. I called on a Thursday morning and, in less than a half hour, Keith Durso called me back. During our phone conversation, Keith preliminarily (and correctly) identified this as a foundation drain and diagnosed that there may be a clog. He arrived right on time and found, after removing the drain cover, that not only was there a clog (of dirt and plant matter) but also an irreparable crack in the existing tile pipe. Keith quoted me an accurate price and, once I agreed, fixed the drain well within the hour. Keith took away all the old cement and pipe pieces and, even though we have had several heavy rains since, the drain has worked perfectly and our laundry room is completely dry!
Description of Work: Keith Durso cleaned out the foundation drain, removed the old cracked tile pipe and cemented in a new length of pipe.

Called for an appointment and was given an estimate, including the standard service call fee of $140 plus possible parts for faucet repair, if they turned out to be necessary. Jim showed up on time, was very profressional and & performed all 3 tasks within 45 minutes. The actual fee ended up being $140 dollars and all the work was done to my satisfaction. I would not hesitate to call them for any future plumbing needs.

I had an appointment for a Friday. It snowed a lot on that day. They called me to say that they would not be able to come (legitimate reason). They offered to come on the Saturday instead. I greatly appreciated that. Otherwise I would have needed to take a day off from work. Mark came on time and was very professional. Everything was completed smoothly and within time.

THIS COMPANY DOES NOT DO SEWER REPAIR. We called them because we were concerned that our sewer was backed up. We specifically asked them whether or not they had the capacity to handle sewer work. They were vague and we were left with the impression they did. Unfortunately they can only rod out sewer thus when they hit a position that they could not rod any further, they simply charged us $240 and told us to get a sewer contractor. A little disappointing, wish they would have been more up front about their abilities.

I was very pleased with the whole experience. The first phone call was answered promptly, an estimate was given, and an appointment was made. Mark, the service tech, was running late due to an emergency call. He gave me a courtesy phone call to let me know. In my initial phone call, I thought that both pumps needed battery back-ups. It turned out that only one of them did. Mark only installed what was necessary, which in turn saved me money. He worked very cleanly. He also took the time to show me each of the pumps and explained how to keep them working properly longer. He also took a few minutes to answer a laundry room question for me.
