I really do like them. I worked with John Reid, he’s the one that I always talked to and he’s very good. They cleaned up all the mess. They were very good. He is very knowledgeable. He shows up on time. They stick to the job and got it done in a timely manner. They were very good.
Description of Work: I used AABACUS Plumbing & Drain Services. They repaired a switched tile that was outside the church and they added some drainage pipe to our program area so that it will not be holding water.

I have used John's services several times over the years. He initially replaced my hot water heater when it had leaked in my basement. He did an excellent job, including responding quickly to my emergency. Later, I had him replace a toilet. We actually met at Lowe's and picked out the new toilet which he loaded into his vehicle and then installed it. I mention this because I know nothing about these things and he offered to make it easy for me by meeting at Lowe's and looking at options. On another occasion, he replaced a worn out sump pump motor and battery - again, a very professional job. When I called him a couple years later when there was a wet carpet in my basement near the sump pump location, he was very concerned that "his" pump had failed. Again, he was very responsive, came to the house and determined the pump was in good working order. He then went into "doctor" mode to determine what the actual problem was. Through his thorough evaluation, he determined that the problem was improper drainage on the front of my house from the downspouts (the ground directly above the wet carpet in the basement). He showed me where dirt had been washed away from the foundation and this was causing my leak. Exasperated with this new and unexpected problem, I asked him "who fixes this?". John smiled and said "I do". The next day, he had dirt delivered and did a perfect job replacing the washed away dirt, cleaning up the landscaping in the area, and fixing the gutter downspouts. This was several years ago and this problem has not reoccurred. John is a little quirky and while his "filing system" may be disorganized, he takes great pride in his work and on each occasion, has delivered for me exactly what he said he would, and more importantly, what I needed. He is the first guy I call for plumbing problems, as evidenced by the number of times I have used him over the years.
Description of Work: multiple services over the past several years, including replacing hot water heater, toilet replacement, sump pump repair, and a serious drainage problem along the exterior foundation outside my home.

I met the guy from Aabacus Plumbing & Drain Service at a plumbing store. Their price was average. They didn?t do a good job. They weren?t punctual and professional, either. I will not use them again.
Description of Work: I’ve used Aabacus Plumbing & Drain Service. I had them install a faucet in the kitchen. I also had them replace some pipes in the kitchen and in the basement. They also changed the main valve in my house. They did all the work, 6-7 months ago.

Response from AABACUS PLUMBING & DRAIN SERVICE INC
Aabacus Plumbing finds the member's ratings and comments incredible considering he stated he was happy with the work and price at the time of completion. The only noteworthy incidents to the completion of the job was that his new faucet kept becoming clogged with rust particles from his old galvanized water system. Despite advice to replace the old lines due to the continued rust problem, he decided to call Aabacus Plumbing three (3) times, failing to mention that Aabacus Plumbing returned to his house three (3) times in the three (3) days immediately following installation of the faucet to clear the lines of rust broken free from the galvanized piping in his home. The member fails to mention that he was not charged for these successive trips of which Aabacus Plumbing was not at fault for the lines' condition. Why did the member not address these complaints to Aabacus Plumbing at the time of service, and why did he wait "6-7 months..." to publish his dissatisfaction with the completed work?

The only problem I had was he showed up very late because he was cleaning out his truck. Otherwise, he did a great job unclogging the lines. He was very friendly and personable. He answered any questions I had.
Description of Work: I hired Aabacus Plumbing to unclog a bathroom line and a kitchen line.

They come in and have a flat rate for most of the drain cleanings. They do very thorough work, and they have educated employees. They are a very professional company. I don't think that they have off-hour rates. I believe I had them out on a Sunday and I don't think that they had charged me extra.
Description of Work: They came to one of my rental properties to clean out a drain.

He is pretty much a one man show but he does have people working for him. He is very trustworthy and very reasonable. He comes when he says he will and does what he's says he will do. We have been using his services for at least three years.
Description of Work: He installed two new sump pumps for us in our basement. One was water powered and the other was battery operated.

water heater repair

We had a problem with our hot water heater and had been dealing with a plumber we had used for almost 4 years. Long story, but we had a part that needed to be put on (thermostat) and our original plumber left us in the dark for 2 weeks. I finally called this company and they came out the next morning and installed the part. They were so nice and professional. They were on time and I got the feeling they really cared about their customers. I had called the night before (after hours) to see if this company could help us. They would have come that evening, but the cost would have been more. They said they could be there at 8 am the next morning. The owner called me the next morning to tell me his man was on his way. He arrived and completed the job without any trouble. I could not have asked for a nicer person. Very clean cut and he represented his company well. Will keep their number for any future use and will definitely refer to others.
Description of Work: Installed a part (which we already had bought) on our water heater.

Response from AABACUS PLUMBING & DRAIN SERVICE INC
THE ESTIMATE FOR THIS MEMBER''S ORIGINAL REQUEST FOR WORK WAS BASED SOLELY ON REPLACING THE FAUCET, WHICH THE MEMBER PROVIDED. THE MEMBER REQUESTED AABACUS DO MORE WORK, ONCE WE WERE AT THE HOUSE, WHICH INCLUDED HAVING TO SHUT OFF THE WATER TO THE HOUSE, REPLACING A SHUT OFF VALVE, AND REPLACING THE P-TRAP UNDER THE BATHROOM SINK. ALL OF THIS ADDITIONAL WORK WAS DONE FOR MORE THAN A REASONABLE PRICE. THE FAUCET WAS A LITTLE OFF CENTER, BUT THIS WAS EASILY CORRECTED AT THE TIME OF THE JOB''S COMPLETION. AABACUS WAS NOT ABLE TO "CLEANUP WHERE OLD FAUCET HAD BEEN," AS THE RUST FROM THE FAUCET HAVING BEEN BROKEN FOR SO LONG STAINED THE SINK TO THE POINT OF BEING IRREPARABLE.
