I had a very slow leak in the pipe that attaches to the water meter located in my crawl space. I contacted Bedell plumbing as they have done excellent work for me in the past. Called on a Thursday and the work was scheduled for the next Monday. Jay called to let me know the service tech would be running about 30 minutes late, which I appreciated being informed of. Tech located the problem, called the office for an estimated pricing, performed the work quickly and cleanly. Very professional. I will use Bedell again if needed in the future.
Description of Work: Repaired a pipe that was leaking near the water meter.

older Broad Ripple home and several oak trees. we started off thinking we needed only for the sewer line to be "roto-routed" but line was too full of roots. Robert came to the house to discuss options and spent a lot of time brainstorming options. the house has a 2nd sewer line which exits the back of the house. 1st plan was to re-route the downstairs bath, which was attached to the sewer line exiting to the side of the house and was too full of roots, to this 2nd line. using their camera we learned that the 2nd line was also in bad shape, clay pipe was broken in multiple places. Only option was to re-do the entire system. Robert was prompt in replying to email questions. Once the project started he provided updates several times each day. project took 2 days. The team cleaned the basement well afterwards and the front yard was left as well as could be expected.

I used a couple of bags of salt that were too soft (didn't know you could do such a thing). The salt hardened together into a big glob which led to the failure of a couple components in the softener. They were able to replace the parts and waited to ensure it was able to get to the recycle/recharge process, which it wasn't before the parts were replaced. Has been working great ever since the repair.

It went very well. We called him because Bedell was highly rated on Angie's List. Originally the call was to install only the battery back-up, which we provided. We haven't owned this home very long, so he also inspected the primary sump pump and noticed several problems. It was aging and had some parts that were improperly hooked up as a way for previous owner to save money. We were lucky the main sump pump held out as long as it did and that we didn't have a flood. He replaced the original and hooked up the back-up and was very professional. He spent time answering our questions about other things, as well, such as the reverse osmosis system and our water softener. We will call them again should we need a plumber.

Service is good. But this is the 4th or 5th time I have had to have the sump pump replaced. Each time by Bedell Plumbing Inc. Sump pit constantly runs during wet season. Wish the pumps lasted more than a year. Bedell does good professional work but sump pums are expensive to replace each 1-2 years.

First I requested an appointment on the area on the website where you can do that. You actually put down the available dates, then AM/PM. I get a response back to call to set up an appointment! Didn't make a whole lot of sense. Anyways. A plumber was sent out here, that I truly believe had no idea what he was doing. Granted it was quite a mystery why there was a powdery substance around the drain between my water heater and AC unit. However, if I knew what it was, why am I calling them? Regarding the toilet, he didn't even try to us a stopper. Which the company I ended up calling (Godby)did. They told me, "sometimes that just happens if toilet paper expands in the pipe". Problem solved that quick. This company did nothing, did not try to figure anything out on their own, didn't get on their hands and knees, take faucets off or anything to try to figure this out. They did not send out a senior tech, he just was on the phone. Didn't even take a picture of the situation, and send it to someone. It was crazy. The only communication I had from this owner was through the "my messages" on here. The owner Jay knew I was mad, and never made a personal call. Just defended his company with this. I never would have used his company after this mess, but never offered to send a senior tech. So I sent him pictures myself of the situation, and I hope he enjoyed them. Side note, I was having issues with my kitchen faucet. It was going to be like $149 for them to take it apart and look at it, and $199, for them to look, and replace. Come on, seriously... Never ever would use this company

No work done at this members home. We gave a free estimate to rebuild a kitchen faucet at $125. and looked at a drain near the water tank that someone had drained in the past that left rust and debris around drain..We at Bedell Plumbing Inc like to talk about problems with home owners before sending a truck. We have saved customers hundreds of dollars on the phone by giving tips on simple repairs that are easily talked over and done by many of them...Thanks Jay T Bedell

We had a leak from a toilet but weren't sure where, why or how. We also found out we could not shut off the supply line to the toilet. We called Bedell and an appointment was made right away. The plumber, Tom, arrived a half hour late. To compensate for being late he did not charge us for the valve replacement. He determined we had a hairline crack in the bottom of the toilet tank. He replaced the whole toilet. He had everything he needed right on his truck. Great job in minimum time. Tom was very professional. Bedell Plumbing Inc. is now "our plumber".

Updated review: All repairs (i.e., sinks, toilets, shower) by Bedell have been very timely and well done (including complete sewer line replacement) although there is still a minor issue regarding a shower drain that can no longer be fixed or repaired due to cracks in the shower stall floor: Due to potential issues with a previous shower drain repair with another plumber (not Bedell) it appears that I may need to have the entire shower stall replaced. The price quote that had been given by the other plumber appeared to be very high and have cancelled the estimate so that no additional work will be done. I am now looking to find out if the shower stall can be replaced by Bedell at reasonable cost.

Response from Bedell Home Services
Previous to this work, it was suggested that this shower unit be replaced due to it's overall condition. As a more cost effective solution for the short term, a drainage repair was offered and accepted. The problem was a leaking seal on a compression style shower drain located in an area that could not be accessed for replacement without compromising the structural integrity of the floor. With this in mind, we removed the leaking seal and replaced it with a silicone joint; a method that is a tried and proven way to fix this type of leak. The joint has functioned appropriately for nearly a month and we were never made aware of any issue. Without having seen the problem with our work, the symptoms as described suggest condensation buildup on the brass shower trap. If a leak were present, water would be actively dripping down the outer surface of the pipe. The replacement of the shower drain as described by this member may have been one possible solution to their original leak, but removing supporting wood from a flexible fiberglass shower base is the last option that we would like to pursue. It's unfortunate that our customer was unhappy with our work, but without a chance to solve a perceived problem with our work there is little we can do to make this right. We appreciate the feedback, however, and will continue to strive to make every customer experience the best we can. Jay T. Bedell

Working with Bedell is always a good experience. They've been available on short notice for crisis issues and are flexible in scheduling for planned upgrades such as our water softener installation. They're on time and do excellent work. Unlike many other providers, they were able to listen to my description of the issue over the phone and then provide me with a rough ballpark estimate, and then when onsite were able to more accurately break down the job and let me know what I had missed and why it would cause the estimate to change. Once everything was agreed to (no high-pressure sales pitches), the work was done quickly and professionally. I am extremely pleased with their work and will gladly use them again in the future.

I had been looking at using another plumbing company on Angie's List. I have had two unfortunate experiences with other companies. I have not needed Bedell for an actual visit yet. However, today I was in a slight panic, and called them. The nicest person answered the after hours number. I believe my call was around 5:45 am. My master bathroom had a slight sewer smell in it. Of course, that type of smell can put a panic in anyone. Except the experts at Bedell. I did not catch the persons name. However, the skill of empathy, and explaining what he thought it might be was most appreciated! I was pretty sure I had seen sewer cleaning signs in my neighborhood this week. He said sometimes the rubber valves can get stuck and not close after the cleanings. He told me to go to all of the areas where there was a faucet and run it, plus flush all toilets. I had not smelled anywhere but the master bath. I did all of it, and the smell went away. He told me if that didn't work after awhile to call back, and they would have a truck out today. He told me the rubber valve (sorry if I am not explaining this correctly!!) closed if the smell went away. As of right now, about 12 hours later, I have not smelled it. What an amazing company! I told him I was not a current customer, but planned to be prior to this call. Now, I can't imagine why I dealt with any other company for the past 11 years.

I liked them. They were very good. I've used them two times and I would call them again if I had a plumbing issue.
Description of Work: They did some hose spigots for us three years ago and then they fixed a leaking shower for us a-year-and-a-half ago. We had a leak in the basement ceiling and we weren't sure where it was coming from so they had to come in and kind of troubleshoot where the water was coming from and it was coming from the shower drain upstairs.

I think I have covered all the details as described above. Also they did not take advantage of my disability which is deafness and they did take time to explain things by telephone relay.
Description of Work: They installed a new facuet to my tub. They did fix it right but for some reason the handle fell off in about 45 days. They came back and did a minor change to the faucet and did not charge me for a second trip. They are ethicial and the owner personally oversaw the repair. I will miss these guys in a good way. I have been a customer twice, and in the previous review (I think in 2011), I gave them an excellent grade which was for 135 in repairs to stop a leak.

They reliably answer their telephone. They provide reasonable advice that's balanced for risk-return on your investments. This is usually quite helpful. There are times it's a bit less so (e.g. they want you to purchase all new hardware based on parts availability, rather than aesthetics). Their reps are always courteous, though of course they vary a bit in professionalism. It's clear that this is a company that cares about it's product and works to sustain your long term good will.
Description of Work: Bedell is our usual plumber, and have done a great range of jobs for us over time. They've handled the small routine clogs, to installation of new water heater and water softener, and assisting with a remodel.
