The worker was at my house in less than thirty minutes. He was very polite. The job took longer than the standard one hour, but he did not charge overtime because he said that he tried something that didn't work, so he wouldn't charge extra. I was very pleased with the service and the price was fair.
Description of Work: There was approximately four to six inches of standing water in my basement. The main drain had to be rotored out to clear a way for the water to drain out. The large machine had to be brought in and carried down the basement steps.

Al Huff was very polite and explained exactly how they would repair the sewer line. Even though another company did the repair, I would certainly consider Acme Plumbing for future work.

The job was performed quickly and the plumber was very polite. The price was about what I had expected to pay.
Description of Work: The job was a simple clog in a bathtub, but had not responded to Drano; the clog was located far from the tub drain.

Very professional company. Representatives were on time and there were no surprises in estimate. Price was reasonable and work professionally done. We used this company several years earlier and was impressed. Thankfully, nothing had changed.
Description of Work: Workers repaired a leaky faucet in bathroom, and cleaned a clogged drain in basement that was preventing our kitchen sink from draining.

THE TWO CREW MEMBERS ON THE VEHICLE WERE VERY INFORMATIVE AND HELPFUL. VERY PROFESSIONAL IN THERE CONVERSATION AND WORK REPORT SHEET. PRICE WAS IN THE NORMAL RANGE FOR SERVICE COMPANIES IN THIS AREA. I AM PLEASED WITH THE SERVICE AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE COMPANY TO ANYONE NEEDING THEIR SERVICE.
Description of Work: THE SERVICE TRUCK ARRIVED ON TIME AND PLACED THE HOSE AROUND HOUSE AND TO ACCESS OPENING THAT WAS ALREADY UNCOVERED. STARTED PULLING THE CONTENTS FROM THE TANK AND TOOK ABOUT 20-30 MIN. DID NOT DRIP OR LEAVE ANY MESS ON DRIVEWAY OR YARD.

IN THE PREVIOUS REPORTS THAT YOUR REPRESENTATIVE READ TO ME, SOMEONE REPORTED THAT THERE WAS AN ''ON TIME ISSUE.'' I DID NOT EXPERIENCE THIS. THEY WERE THERE WHEN THEY PROMISED - EVEN EARLY. THEY WORKED QUICKLY AND ANSWERED ANY QUESTION I ASKED. FROM MY OBSERVATION, THEIR WORK WAS PROFESSIONALLY COMPLETED.

THE PLUMBER WAS ON TIME AND SEEMED TO BE EFFICIENT. HE PULLED THE TOILET, WHICH IS A WALL-HUNG, AND REPLACED THE SEAL. IT SEEMS TO HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM. WHEN I ASKED HIM TO CHECK UNDER THE HOUSE FOR ADDITIONAL LEAKS AND HANGING PIPES THAT A PREVIOUS PLUMBER HAD REPORTED, HE SAID IT WOULD COST ME $79 TO GO UNDER THE HOUSE. I THOUGHT THAT WAS A BIT EXCESSIVE.
Description of Work: MY TOILET WAS LEAKING AT THE BASE, AND THE SEAL WAS REPLACED.

I DON'T KNOW WHO GOT IT WRONG -- BUT I EXPECTED THE TECH FROM 10 TO NOON. WHEN THE COMPANY CALLED TO TELL ME HE WAS COMING IT WAS 2:30 -- THEY SAID THEY JUST HAD ''AFTERNOON'' AS THE TIME. OTHER THAN THAT, THE TECH WAS UNIFORMED AND FRIENDLY. HE SAID IT HAD BEEN A LONG DAY. HE LEFT A NOTE ON THE INVOICE THAT WE NEEDED A NEW RISER BUT DID NOT DISCUSS THAT WITH ME. I GUESS BECAUSE HE WAS TIRED. I WOULD GIVE THEM ANOTHER CHANCE, AS I HAVE HAD A PLUMBER FROM THEIR COMPANY DO GOOD WORK BEFORE.

I HAD AN INITIAL BAD EXPERIENCE WHEN THE ACME PLUMBER FIRST CAME OUT. THE PLUMBER WAS A NEW HIRE, AND SPENT LITTLE TIME REVIEWING THE PROBLEM AND MORE TIME TALKING ABOUT PLAYSTATION. HIS ANALYSIS WAS THE PROBLEM IS IN THE ROOF. AFTER HAVING A ROOFER COME OUT TO CONFIRM THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. I CALLED ACME BACK, SPOKE TO THE MANAGER, EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM, AND HE AGREED TO BRING A MORE SENIOR PLUMBER OUT. THE SENIOR GUY CAME OUT AND FIGURED OUT THE PROBLEM IN A MATTER OF MINUTES. HE ALSO CAME BACK AND FIXED THE PROBLEM, NO CHARGE. BECAUSE OF CUSTOMER SERVICE LIKE THIS, I WILL USE ACME EVERY TIME. THEY MADE IT RIGHT, WITHOUT ME ASKING. VERY HAPPY OVERALL.
