Description of Work: My shower backed up and a snake could not clear the plug and actually caused two additional leaks in the basement pipes. Ratterman came in and even though they had to replace more pipes than they planned or quoted, they stuck to the original quote to complete the work. I was pleased with the outcome.

Description of Work: Ratterman replaced a leaking single-handle shower faucet after I botched a do-it-yourself repair job. Because the leak was severe, I could not turn on water to the house until the faucet was replaced. Ratterman responded immediately when I called on Sunday afternoon, had a plumber on-site within 2 hours, and completed the repair in about 90 minutes. This involved opening up the drywall behind the faucet. The plumber minimized the damage from cutting open the drywall, which made my subsequent repair easier. Very courteous, fast and professional. Not the least expensive repair, but considering it was a Sunday afternoon, on short-notice, no complaints.

excellent, no snags or delays.
Description of Work: Performed MSD sewer improvement plan. Justin was thorough and patient explaining to us what needed to be done, and even came back after some time had passed and went through the whole thing again so we were sure. It was a 2 1/2 day job, with a jackhammer, etc., but they left my basement cleaner than it started, no kidding. Justin was completely professional and very careful about keeping my house clean -- used the side door, etc. Ratterman may be a little on the expensive side but if money were no object I'd have him do all my plumbing.

Was experiencing back up in toilet and tub with gurgling sounds in all drains. Initially thought maybe blocked vent. We were worried about using previous used company because of negative experiences. Chose Ratterman plumbing using Angie's List. Reception was courteous and professional. Scheduled appointment for next day. Had to wait a little longer than appointment time but that inconvenience was minor. The technicians were great. They were friendly and professional and answered all questions respectfully. The price was surprisingly fair and painless. I will definitely use this company again as I have a 100 year old home that occasionally need some TLC.
Description of Work: Unclogged a clog outside of home. Ran 90 feet just to make sure.

Great. The damaged pipe was underneath the cement slab that the air conditioning sits on and they were able to work around and under without the additional costs of removing the A/C unit. They also accomodated my work schedule to get the job done almost immediately.

The company responded to my evening voicemail message requesting service for my toilets at 8:00 am and scheduled service for 8:30 the same morning. Sherman the plumber was prompt, courteous and skillful. I asked if he could install the new hydrant during the same visit. He called the office for approval, secured some needed tools and went straight to work. He wasted no time and cleaned up afterward. The material prices were fair and his work was fast saving me service charge costs. I'll call them whenever I need a plumber.
Description of Work: Replaced flushing mechanism on two toilets and installed new hydrant on exterior of home to raise it above deck flooring.
