I called on the 31st and my call was returned early the next morning. Their service man was there around 8am and quickly fixed the problem. He explained what he was doing with helpful tips for us in the future. We were given a 10% discount for being a first time customer/Angie's List member. We were very pleased with the knowledge and work done and will definitely use Ehrhardt Bros again.
Description of Work: One toilet was snaked and turned out to be the culprit for the water not siphoning quickly enough. The flapper was replaced in that toilet as well as the one in the master bath.

Went very well. Very responsive, prompt, personable and professional. Cannot judge price. Would be good for Angie's list to provide hourly rate range for different services, so customer can judge if price is fair without having to get more than one estimate. Could save everyone some time.

Everything went very well. Keith was running a bit late, but the office let me know ahead of time. When he got there I pointed out everything we needed fixed, and he started right to work. The dryer mount and the drain cover were tricky, but Keith was able to get them fixed despite not being initially sure. Everything was completed in about 90 minutes. Keith was very friendly during the entire process, and explained everything to me as he went. He even took his shoes off to avoid tracking anything on the carpet as he walked through the house. I will be recommending Ehrhardt Brothers to a friend and will definitely call them if I have any plumbing needs in the future.
Description of Work: I contact Ehrhardt Brothers for a few small issues on the home my wife and I recently purchased. They fixed a small leak in the kitchen sink, replaced the faucet in one of the showers because the diverter was broken, fixed the dishwasher mount, and repaired the drain cover in another shower.

After I call few pluming services we went with this company. When I describe our baseboard pipe linking, they understand broiler heating related problems. After Keith get to our house, we describe the problem. He quickly diagnose the problem and get work done promptly. He is very knowledgeable. We had heating problem for the whole winter since our service company (blue dot) don't think we had any problems. We are very happy Keith had fixed leaking valve and solved our heating problem as well.

After a thorough assessment, he fixed all three spigots with just a few adjustments and gave an understandable description of the problems with each. There was no need to replace them and he even explained how to keep the same problems from happening again. We really appreciated the honest assessment and the information! Also, when it was time to pay the bill, he gave me a discount because they were running a coupon (even though I didn't have the coupon). Overall it was excellent service. He was prompt, professional, knowledgable, honest, and fairly priced. We will definitely use them again should another problem arise and would recommend them to anyone else with a plumbing issue.

He showed up earlier than expected. Gave me a very straight assessment of the 3 issues, even talking me out of an idea I had that I now know would have been a waste of money. Then got right to doing the work. Overall fantastic job - and a really nice guy as well.

I have 2 acid neutralizing filters. When they were installed, the original plumber put the backwash pipe in the most convenient place for him. Unfortunately, it was so close to the back of my house and on a downward slope, that my basement has been flooding. We decided to get that pipe relocated and the search for a plumber began. I was certainly surprised at the number of plumbers who never had the courtesy to return my calls. I started out just asking for an estimate. One plumber sent out a crew to do the work without even seeing the job or giving me a price. Needless to say, I turned them away at the door. Mike from Ehrhardt Brothers came out to do the estimate himself. He was running late, but let me know ahead of time. He was very professional and gave me a good price. (a few hundred dollars less than the next guy) i received the quote from him office very quickly (2 other plumbers never gave me a quote after they took the time to come out and look at the job...which I really don't understand) It was easy to accept the quote and to get the appointment to do the work set up. They were scheduled to come between 8am-10am on 3/23. When nobody had shown up by 11am, I had to call. It would have been nice to get a call from them to let me know that they were running late. Anyway...Keith came to do the job and I was quite happy with his work. He found a way to relocate the pipe that didn't involve having to cut through the existing dryway (which everyone else told me had to happen) His work was clean, professional and thorough. In the process of relocating the pipe he found 2 more efficient solutions to the solution and he kept me informed through each step that he took. There was no mess at all left behind and I feel that he took ample time to do the job right. We've been enormously happy with the work and are glad to report that our basement has remained dry since we had the pipe moved! I would definitely use Ehrhardt Brothers again.
Description of Work: Relocating a backwash line from a water filtration system to the opposite side of the house.

I attempted a diy approach to replace my old garbage disposal. Needless to say I wound up calling a pro. Keith was punctual, courteous and professional. He explained his diagnosis of the problem leak, and he showed me the problem with the type of sink that I had. There should have been a better gasket included with the new unit. He proceeded to disassemble the new unit to the point where he could access the mounting bracket are , and applied plumbers putty. Keith tested the disposal, and could not find any signs of a leak. I tested the disposal after he left, and I found a small problem. I called it in, and was immediately reassured that Keith would be back out to resolve the problem. Keith came back out, and located, and resolved the problem. The trap had somehow come loose. There was a small leak at the trap. Keith tightened the trap.... So far, so good.

Described above; all went v. well and we are pleased w/the work.
Description of Work: Keith called earllier to assure we were here; after he arrived he took out old kitchen faucet and installed a new kitchen faucet. He checked for leaks, found a small one and then proceeded to install new connectors as the older rubber seals were not good. He then checked a leaky turn off valve to garage. He fixed that w/a simple tightening of the bolt. All was done in a professional manner, w/min. time. Pleased w/the job and will call them again.

I called the Ehrhardt Brothers Quality Plumbing Company to get a estimate on replacing my gas hot water tank. I talked to Mike. He quoted me a price and we set up a day and time to do the work. The day the work was to be done Keith showed up right on time. Excellent work was done by both brothers with no additional surprise charges added to the bill which I thought was a fair price. Both brothers were professional and friendly.I would highly recommend them to other people. Also I would rate my experience with them to be higher than the letter A if I had that option.Thanks Angie and thanks Ehrhardt Brothers. (Keith and Mike)

Called to have them replace a couple of toilets in my home. Setting up the appointment by phone was easy enough. Mike set me up with a nice toilet. Keith came and did the job. Was efficient, friendly, knew what he was doing. Was very thorough on the job, made sure the toilet in the powder room was level and didn't rock. Meticulously cleaned up the caulk leftover from the old toilets. Was impressed with the new toilets I called them back the next week to replace the other toilet in the house.

Phone arrangements were simple and pleasant. They scheduled me with an exact time. (This was an appointment, not an emergency, but still, not having to wait through a huge "window" was an unexpected plus.) Plumber arrived on time - in fact - a few minutes early. He was pleasant, extremely knowledgeable, and thorough. The cause of the problem was not a common one, and he found and fixed it. He took great professional pride in getting his work exactly right. The whole job cost half of what I thought it would.

I called about installing new fixtures for my kitchen sink, and the plumber arrived the next day (after noon time) as promised. He also phoned ahead (the day of service) to give me a more exact time. He came in, installed the sink fixtures, fixted the shut-off valve, showed me just what he did, how to work the fixtures, and completely cleaned up after himself. He was prompt and professional and I will use this company again in the future.

I called about my dishwasher not draining and spilling water all over the place. Mike, one of the owners, got on the phone himself and told me a couple things I could do on my own. They were simple things to check and they would save me money. He was very kind and explained things easily to me. I took his advice and now my dishwasher is running just fine. I truly appreciate him taking the time to walk me through the steps AND the fact that he did so knowing he would not make any money off of the phone call.

A floor of our split-level house flooded with clean water from the toilet. After calling Ehrhardt Brothers in the morning we had someone checking out our situation that afternoon. Our plumbers were very friendly and knowledgeable. They solved our problem quickly and cleanly, using a large motorized auger and several extensions just to reach the clog. This was the first time we've had to call a plumber, and Ehrhardt Brothers has set the bar very high.

Excellent. Office staff arranged an appointment right away and tech was out in 1 hour. Keith was very nice, had the job done quickly, and the charged HALF of what another company had estimated for the same job. My first experience with the company, but they seemed excellent. Small company right in Columbia. ALSO this was a great demo of the value of Angies List. I am new to it, but I looked up plumbers this morning, and got a great company to fix my problem before noon.

I have a pipe inside the garage that breaks every cold winter. The inside tap for the pipe has a slow leak and even though I close it, water accumulates slowly and freezes. I have had repairs done previously but this would happen again and again. Keith came up with an ingenious solution and added another tap onto the line. I'll find out if this works next spring but I was impressed with the creativity. At least he came up with a long term solution. He was very professional and spent time trying to figure out a good solution.
Description of Work: Repaired a pipe in the garage leading to the outside.
