On Sunday afternoon I noticed my bathtub drain was clogged. After several attempts to open the drain on my own I logged onto Angie's List and and found Universal Plumbing & Sewer. Monday morning before business hours I called and a receptionist took down my information. Dennis was at my door around 9 am. He snaked out my drain with equipment I have no desire to own, put everything back together and my bathtub was fully operational 45 minutes later. He informed me they handle hot water heater and sump pump issues too. I have their card on my refrigerator because you just never know when you'll need a plumber.

When the service provider first arrived,he put shoe covers on to protect the floors. While diagnosing the problem the toilet overflowed with sewage onto the floor. Provider removed shoe covers and walked through sewage then proceeded to walk around basement floor (marble tile) He walked up an down the stairway many times as he went outside to retrieve the tools he needed. The simple drain snake was more than quoted because the provider said he need to install a new clean out and couldn't use the one already there. While snaking through the new cleanout raw sewage debris was flung onto the walls and cabinets...gross. Took me hours to clean and sanitize my house after he left. I will say, they came out the same day to fix the problem.

Hello [member name removed] I am sorry to hear that you were unhappy with the services you received in November. We pulled up your information in our system and can see that we did charge you more than the original $135 for a drain cleaning. We see on your invoices that you were charged for a new 1 1/2" PVC vent, fernco and trap. Our technician was at your home for over 3 hours and had to cut out your old galvanized vertical pipe as well as the trap to the bathroom sink to obtain access to the the feminine products and wipes that were causing a clog in your line. Because of the placement of the blockage cabling your drain through your main clean out would not have opened the line. All of our technicians give upfront pricing and get a signature that accepts the pricing of the work to be done before any work is done. This company policy is established to allow our customers to decline work to be done if they do not like our pricing or do not want us to do the work for any reason. I do see that you did sign the authorization to do the work and therefore I am surprised that the additional work was something that you didn't understand. I do however appreciate your feedback on the shoe coverings as it is our company policy that all our technicians go out of their way to protect the customers home by laying tarps and wearing shoe covering. I will be addressing your review with your technicians. I would love to have another opportunity to earn your business. I will credit your account with $25.00 off your next service. If you ever see fit to give us another shoot that credit will be in your account. Best Regards, Carol Nelson

Technician (Crieth) was very thorough in the process, snaking the line multiple times. Was very diligent in ensuring that the water was draining as much as possible before he left. Was very professional, and explained what he was doing during every step. Hoping this pipe will stay unclogged for the near future, as this was the third time in 9 months this has been done.
Description of Work: Cabled backed up sump discharge line.Also placed sup pump on a cinder block so line doesn't discharge as often.

We called Universal on Sunday morning at 8:30 AM for emergency service and they had a technician come to our home within 1.5 hours. We had no water in home because of pipes bursting from the cold and they added 2 shut off valves within a couple of hours so water could be turned on in the house. On the next day, Monday, they came back and repaired the 2 burst pipes in the crawl space in single digit temperatures. We will use them exclusively in the future and Highly Recommend Universal Plumbing to everyone. Super Fast Service and Honest, Reliable work performed. Couldn't ask for any better service and they tried to save us as much money as they could....which We Highly Appreciated !!!

They led me to believe that I needed to have my toilet rebuilt. I found out afterwards that I just needed a $5 part. I felt like I was misled. I took it apart afterwards and looked at it myself and there was a small part that needed to be changed.

The technician could not find the source of the leak and assured me that it is just a moisture build up. So far over the last few week, I have accumulated nearly a gallon of water in a bucket I left in place. Not sure where the water is coming from. I still believe there is some minor leak from the pipe.
Description of Work: Whole house inspection for leaks and wear and tear. I also had a minor leak from the basement pipe with slow dripping of a drop or two every few minutes.

It went well, they showed up within the time frame specified, they had all the tools necessary to do the job, and they did explain how it may or may not be causing the problem I'm experiencing with the slow shower drain. The main drain was installed almost a century ago and thus does not have a grade, so eventually everything just sits in the pipe. Until I get the main pipe replaced at enormous cost, this definitely helps. It took less than an hour from start to finish.

Les came early to give estimate, a good thing. Estimated to take 1 day with a second day to finish if necessary. First day went smooth, a second day was needed. They came out on a Sunday to follow up and clean up with no extra charge. They were very prompt, they were onsite before scheduled time. Always called if there was any delay. Mike, the main plumber was great, always kept me in the loop of everything that was going on. Worked very hard with not the best of conditions and kept within the original quote. There was a small follow up, Dennis showed up before scheduled time. After he finished, one of my dogs got out and Dennis went way out of his way to help retrieve him. Dennis stayed until my dog was safe and sound. No extra charged. I would not hesitate to use them again.
