The two gentlemen who came did a quick, efficient job, leaving me with a functioning waterline to the outside faucet. They were very congenial. From the time I first called to the time they left was no more than 2 hours, possibly less. They explained why the break occurred, so now I know to remove all hoses in the fall.
Description of Work: I had a burst pipe leading to an outside faucet. This was my fault, as I had left a short piece of hose hooked up, assuming the open, opposite end, would allow any pressure from water remaining in the faucet to drain. Wrong. Evidently a vacuum built up, water in the pipe behind the faucet froze and caused a crack in the pipe, which burst when I used the faucet for the first time this year. I called Jolly Plumbing and explained my problem and that the main water line was turned off to prevent flooding. The lady in the office called around to various crews out on jobs and found one nearby that was just finishing up. They came shortly afterward and fixed the problem.

We had a backup in our basement, which left unwanted residue and damaged/destroyed many items. We cleaned the waste and called a variety of plumbers. The first company we called had a drain cleaning special (main drain included). The company showed up and the individual worked diligently to unclog our sewer line. However, he was not successful based on the tools that he was using (tools included in the drain cleaning special). We called another company to camera the line, but they were unsuccessful in determining the cause of the clog, due to water in the line. Several companies that we called basically stated that we had a break in our line. After several calls and much research, we chose to have the line augured and have another camera inspection, before an expensive dig and line replacement. We chose Jolly Plumbing based off of the reviews from Angie's List and the assistance the individuals provided over the phone. After a slight delay with our appointment (due to an emergency service call), Al Hopper showed up to our house. We reviewed our problem with the sewer line and Al began to work. The estimated time, from the main office, to clear the line was an hour to an hour and a half. Al worked continuously for three hours. He augured the line with several different heads and placed the camera in the line several different times. He then used some creativity, along with years of experience (which showed), to flush water from another drain in the basement. He did not just force the water through, but he used a balloon like apparatus to prevent backflow of water on the back drain. He made multiple trips out to the city sewer to make sure water was exiting from our house. Each step and/or attempt that Al Hopper used was fully explained to us (without all of the plumber lingo). Al Hopper when above and beyond to unclog our sewer line...far more than what other individuals would have done. We cannot thank him enough! As an added bonus, Al Hopper did not attempt to up-sale any items. He did not give up and tell us that we needed to dig up our line and replace it. He actually insisted on getting the line cleared and stated several times that he did NOT think it was a break in our line (unlike countless other companies we spoke with on the phone or in person). I have no doubt about using Al Hopper from Jolly Plumbing again.
Description of Work: Auger the main sewer line from the house to the street (using multiple heads). He also used a camera to make sure line was cleared.

My water heater rusted out the night before I called. I chose Jolly Plumbing from Angie's List because of the references that lived near me. The service manager was very helpful, and he coordinated the arrival of the repairman with my return from buying a new water heater the next morning. Dan, the repairman, was careful about not spilling water on our carpet while getting the old unit out, and he wrapped the base in a plastic bag and even wrapped the wheels of the hand cart in a protective bag to protect our hardwood floors. Dan was very professional and courteous. I would definitely recommend Jolly Plumbing.
Description of Work: Installed new water heater.

This was the second time we've used jolly plumbing. Both times the technician was courteous and helpful. Since you pay a plumber by the hour, they are completely willing to spend that time with you going over any type of plumbing subject. Preventative care or cleaning tips for the disposal, sink, dishwasher, sump pump, toilet, etc. Jolly came recommended to me on a Christmas Eve when my basement flooded due to the sump pump. Jolly sent someone out and he went :through many questions I had and some common tips that I wouldn't have considered. I recommend them often.
Description of Work: Repaired the garbage disposal which had stopped working with the Hopper full of food scraps.

Plumbing is never cheap but Jolly Plumbing was clear about the costs and stayed to the estimate. Was pleased that until they located the potential part they thought might be needed (as a result of in-depth conversation on the telephone) they did not come to the house. They answered the telephone on a holiday with a person that was knowledgeable and service oriented. The plumber and part was located and my problem was resolved within 4 hours of my first call .... which is saying a LOT as I live quite a distance off the beaten path. Dan was knowledgeable, skilled, efficient and clean about getting the work done. Definitely would use again and recommend.

It went great! He was able to find all 6 cartridges he needed to replace the ones we had looked for months! He arrived on time, completed his work in a timely manner and was out the door in 90 minutes or less. I really like the service, the phone call when they are on their way and just the conduct of the plumber while in our home.

He said we should just monitor the system this year as he felt it was due to the wetter than normal spring. He went over all the details or our system and explained the possible remedies along with an estimated cost; should we need to make any changes in the future. We will definitely be using them for any of our future needs. Professional, courteous and punctual for the right price.

It went very well. They were very professional, showed up on time and had eveything they needed to do the job. The water heater had leaked a bit from the bottom and they cleaned up the mess from that and did a quality job of replacing the failing water heater with a very good replacement of the same high quality as I had before. Overall did a great job at a good price and left the place better then when they showed up. Great job Jolly.
Description of Work: After 14 years our water heater gave out. Jolly came out and replaced it with a quality water heater of the same model that I had before. They were very cordial, prompt to respond and did a great job. I'd highly recommend them to my neighbors and anyone else that needs a good plumber.

I had Jolly Plumbing come and evaluate a similar issue several years before. They came out to estimate how much to replace the old cast iron vent stack that was cracked and releasing sewer gas. Since it involved ripping out walls, ceilings/or floor I kept putting this project off. Jolly Plumbing worked with me to find the less "messy" way to fix my problem. ( which involved going in through the floor on the 2nd floor instead of ripping out the ceiling. They also managed to thread the new pipe up through the old cast iron so that lessened the amount of ripping walls out and replacing roof materials. While for any major plumbing it can be always "too expensive" I felt the job was worth the money. Their estimate did not include repairwork of the floor or walls as that was to be done by my boyfriend.

Outstanding. Called in the morning requested specific afternoon visit. Arrived on time, visually inspected toilet and stated that the likely fix would require snaking the toilet. Also provided additional advice on other flow-related issues. Extremely professional and courteous. Will always use Jolly from this point forward.

We feared we would have to replace the entire tub, but Dan was able to attach a new drain pipe to the old cement drain. He was professional, efficient and pleasant to work with. Price was reasonable, and even nicer with the Angie coupon. Parking in the Clifton area is limited, but Dan was able to find space and did not complain that he had to walk a block to get to the house. Kudos to Dan. We will request him again when the need arises or when we finally tackle the bathroom Reno!
Description of Work: 1903 original cement stationery tub leaked . Dan the plumber arrived on time, accessed the problem and repaired. He installed a rubber splice that will aid in future clean- out of the pipe.

I am very pleased with the result, with one exception. Dan had to cut the pipe a couple times to get a good fit. Instead of putting more pipe in place, he pulled the pipe down from the ceiling. While it reaches, it is putting strain on the pipe that he had to pull down. I would definitely recommend Jolly Plumbing to my neighbors and friends.
Description of Work: I had to replace the leaking water shutoff valve in the basement. The water department insists on turning the water off and on, so the homeowner is not allowed to. I started to do it myself and quickly realized I would not be able to get it done in the limited time I had. So I searched, found Jolly Plumbing, called, and they had Dan out within a few hours (three, I think). When the water company shut off the water at the street, they did not turn it off all the way. This made it really tough to get the new valve on. Dan did an excellent job of working through the issues and getting the job done. It just took longer than either of us thought it would. Definitely not his fault.
