Description of Work: Repaired frozen burst water pipe in the third floor. Flushed system with antifreeze. several months before vented a basement dryer outside. As for the basement venting, the plumber who came wasn't prepared (didn't even have duct tape!) and had to go to the store for parts that should have been on his truck. I got to pay for time spent at the house as well as his trip to pick up these supplies. As for the flushed/antifreeze added heating pipes, we found out later that the price quoted (and paid) was very high for the supplies and service. The person who comes out to give quotes acted like he was doing us a favor, and it was almost impossible to get simple questions answered by him.

Response from Paul Flaherty Plumbing Co Inc
We have not heard before November that our customer was unhappy. I have reviewed the work done last winter and the pricing is correct for the amount of work done and materials installed. As for the dryer vent, the work was done in 2014. We ran a new vent through a crawl space and installed a new vent hood. Total bill was $395.00.

I made a request through their website to unplug a stopped toilet. I received a response the next day and arranged a date by phone for the plumber to visit. He arrived early in the time frame and used a snake to unstop the toilet. He suggested that toilets available now were much better and worked in an almost clog-free manner. There was absolutely no pressure on his part to purchase a new toilet, but given the fact that there's only one bathroom, I went ahead and set a date for the installation. The plumber came back, right at the time agreed upon, and removed the old toilet and installed the new one. He was very careful to place drop cloths down on the floors that led to the bathroom. He also wore covers over his shoes. He even cleaned dirt that was found on the floor and wall when the old toilet was removed. The new toilet looks and works great...perfectly installed. The plumber didn't leave any dirt or mess behind when he finished. I could have lived with the old toilet as Flaherty Plumbing had definitely cleared the clog but it seemed like a good opportunity to begin a modest bathroom remodel.
Description of Work: Two visits - one to unstop a toilet; second - install a new toilet.

I called in the morning and was told that the next available appointment would be the next morning at 8 am but they would call me if they could squeeze me in that day instead. By mid afternoon they called to say that they could stop over in a half hour. John was great and I could not be more pleased.

drain cleaning

It went okay, but they seem a bit over priced. We initially called them in to clear the shower drain. A week later, we had a leak coming through our ceiling and the shower drain was backing up again, so we called them in for both issues. This time they used a snake to clear the shower drain and that fixed the problem. The leak was caused by a different shower in which the person who installed the shower had not welded the drain properly. The plumber also claimed that the shower pan was not even and so water was leaking from a corner. We had someone else from the company come later to give an estimate. He said they'd have to destroy our floor in the shower and replace the copper pan and estimated the work at $4,000 dollars. We decided to get a second opinion from another plumber.
Description of Work: We called them in for a slow shower drain. They used an air-driving device to clear it the first time. After about a week, the drain began backing up again. They came out and used a snake this time to clear it properly. We also had them evaluate the source of a leak from our ceiling and give us an estimate for the repairs.

Made calls to several plumbers looking for someone that could come the next day. Left messages for the others, but got an instant live voice at Flaherty. The next morning at 8 a.m, the plumber was there. He explained the process every step of the way. He even left detailed notes on tags for the landscaper telling them how to properly winterize the system using the newly installed valve. I was very pleased with the responsiveness, professionalism and quality of the work.
Description of Work: Repair burst water supply to irrigation system, installed a drain valve inside the home to allow proper winterization going forward.

He was great! We had a new valve that we tried installing on our own, but we were having trouble because the old valve was on pretty tight. He showed me what would have to be done to use our replacement valve, and also explained what it would cost (time, labor, and additional parts). He gave me another option that was less timely and much less expensive. While repairing the valve he noticed that we were using rubber hoses for the washer, and suggested we swap them out for a sturdier brand he had with him in his van. He explained the pros and cons of keeping our rubber hoses and was also very clear on the additional cost and time associated with making the change.
Description of Work: The washer valve was leaking and needed to be replaced.

My general contractor abandoned the job right after demolition, leaving me with four gutted bathrooms and a gutted playroom, living in the house. The general contractor took my deposit and most subcontractors with him. Flaherty stepped in to the rescue on hourly to finish the job. With no general contractor on the job and one bad experience already, I needed a plumber I could trust and they have been my plumbers for years. Other professionals on the job site remarked that Brian Scott, who did most of the plumbing, was the best plumber they'd ever worked with.
Description of Work: Relocated several heating pipes that were going through corridors, new plumbing for three remodeled bathrooms, turned a former closet into a bathroom and installed two new kitchen sinks.

Prior to the appointment, a representative spent a good amount of time with me on the phone to give me a rough idea of what the job would cost. They also advised me with regard to scheduling as I was trying to coordinate multiple vendors (contractor, counter installation people & the plumber). They were very punctual. The work was competed in a reasonable amount of time. Everything works. They didn't leave a mess. When I called with a question after they were gone, they answered it promptly.
Description of Work: Install water sensor to detect potential water heater leaks; Install new faucet; install new garbage disposal; change dishwasher shut off valve; cut cabinet wall to allow access to hot water heater shut off hook up dishwasher; adjust bathroom sink faucet.

A blocked drain prompted my search on Angie's List. The drain would not open when the pole was pushed down so although the exterior processes seemed to function, the drain wouldn't open. It turned out to be a hair clog that they were able to clear. The work was done quickly and neatly. The toilet maintenance was routine replacement of the parts forming tight seals in the tank - again routine. The very pleasant surprise was that we asked them to assess the source of a leak in my whirlpool tub that has been broken for over 3 years! Another plumbing service (Major franchise) had rather vaguely indicated the area of the leak but said they wouldn't do that type of work. I struggled to identify who would do the work and even consulted the appliance store and the factory who made the motor. It turns out to be a cracked motor and a broken seal and the parts are on order. If I have any problems with the install I'll update the site.
Description of Work: The service included three items: Opening a drain where the closing mechanism was stuck, replacing worn toilet mechanisms; evaluating the source of a leak in the motor for the whirlpool tub. The first two items are routine but necessary - the whirlpool evaluation was something that not every plumber is prepared to assess and address.

Very well. Did work they said at cost that was estimated. Had to remove soffit and do the work behind paneling. This was done and soffit replaced with out damage.
Description of Work: Located and repaired fitting that was leaking in the heating system. Full purge of all radiators and test. Checked separate leak from bathroom to basement, determined it could be done by caulking and showed where to apply caulking which saved money.

I am very pleased with the job that was done to my home. The repairman was very courteous and careful in doing his work. I also liked how he explained the problems and the project in detail.
Description of Work: I needed a sink installed in my basement workshop for cleaning up after doing projects. One of the men from this company came out to install the sink and the piping that connected to it. During his work, we learned that there were a couple of problem areas in the way the original pipes where laid out. He fixed the layout and the faucet located outside, which was also originally installed badly. Now the pipes are on a smooth direct line. I don't really remember the total of this 2 day job, I'm guessing about $600.

I was very pleased with the professionalism of the office and the engineers. They called to inform me of the arrival time in the morning of the appointment and when Jesse arrived he was very pleasant and efficient. I have decided to have them replace the toilet and piping under the sink in a week and a half. I will report on that visit also.
Description of Work: We had a leak from a toilet on the second floor that was coming down the wall and ceiling on the first floor. It needed a new wax seal and that was replaced in under a half hour. They also told me that the toilet was in need of replacing. They informed me that it would be cheaper for me to buy the replacement toilet and I would also be able to get what I wanted at the local home improvement store. Jesse, gave me the info I need to purchase the correct size toilet. I also had an issue with a pipe under the kitchen sick that leaked previously but has since stopped and Jesse, the engineer, showed me the issue with a pipe that was oozing and had dried up and needed replacement. Jesse offered to replace the piping once he got the parts needed but I decided to wait and do the piping and toilet together another day.

Paul Flaherty representatives Jesse and Jeff have been to our house for numerous, unrelated plumbing issues since we moved into our house six months ago. We called the Saturday we moved in, because we noticed that the Sump pump outflow pipe had been knocked down, and the pumped water was flooding the foundation. They did a quick fix for the immediate Saturday, and then scheduled to do the work on Monday. They did not charge us the Emergency fee. My husband broke the toilet by tinkering with it, and when it flooded, he shut the water off, which then caused a valve to leak in our basement. Jesse came over the same day to help us fix it. Lastly, our hot water heater was leaking sporadically. We called the Emergency Number, and they called us right back and gave us a quick fix so that we did not have to pay the emergency fee. Jeff came over, gave us several options, and ended up replacing the heater. He also noticed that we had a pressure problem and fixed it on the spot.
Description of Work: Over a period of 6 months, replaced leaky valves in toilet, dug a trench for a sump-pipe outflow pipe, replaced hot water heater, installed new pressure control valve. They came over within one day of us calling, were prompt, courteous and on time all three times. They were respectful of our home. They always gave us numerous options for each of our issues, and did not push the most expensive one.

The job was scheduled at a convenient time for me, he arrived when expected and was polite, covered his shoes before entering my home and seemed knowledgeable regarding the problems identified. My only complaint was that the clock was running while he ran out for a minor item not on his truck.
Description of Work: Several small plumbing problems and a broken seal on one toilet. The toilet issue was corrected (new seal and resecured to the floor) and recommendations for other work made by the plumber.

They earned very high points when a Christmas eve, two years ago. Our water heater started leaking (a lot). This was the day about 7 relative were coming and spending the weekend. When I described the situation, they got someone out to our house that early evening and did a temporary fix until they could replace the heater. When the temporary fix broke again sooner than they expected after that weekend, they came to replace the heater that day and did not charge for the initial temporary work which saved the day. They are very prompt, courteous and professional.
Description of Work: They've done a couple jobs... 1) repaired and then replaced water heater 2) general plumbing...leaks, running toilets, etc.
