Jason did a great job and allowed me to observe, so I picked up a trick or two and together we made the decision just to how to position the new water heater since space was tight.

Jason was very professional. Had to work in tight quarters. Left everything neat and clean. I was surprised at the cost but didn’t know what to expect. He spent almost 2 hours.

I have been using Rascher Plumbing for a few years now . I have many single family rental units and after a few city inspection with plumbing issues - he had helped me fix my plumbing issues . However , today I asked him to help me with some plumbing issues . His response was that he did not have time and had lots of commercial work for the next 3 weeks . In other words - he did not want to bother with my plumbing issue cause I was not large enough . What’s happened to the nice plumbers who appreciated all jobs - big or small! I guess owning 12 rentals was not very profitable for him to bother with my plumbing issues . This is very discouraging and not the world I grew up in ! Bev

Response from Rascher Plumbing & Heating - Radiant/Boilers
[Member Name Removed], Thank you for your feedback, good or bad it always helps us to improve. As a small family owned plumbing business we have always, and still will value the small jobs just as much as the large jobs. That is in part how we have succeeded in the 106 years of operation. I apologize if this was not portrayed in our initial conversation. We try our best to accommodate a busy schedule with only four plumbers on staff. We have chosen to stay small over the years to provide personal service to the surrounding community. However, this in no way discounts your needs as a property owner to find service in a timely manner. It is important for us to be honest, upfront, and realistic in regards to scheduling while doing what we can to assist our established customers service needs. Although our schedule was and is tight, I'm glad we were able to look at and assess your property in efforts to meet your needs for inspections. We hope that you would consider us for future plumbing and heating service needs. I will reach out to you personally as well regarding this situation. Thank you as we appreciate your business, Dave Schubring Plumbing Service Manager Rascher Plumbing and Heating 651-224-4759

I could not be happier. Jason did a great, thorough job. I purchased the replacement toilet through Rascher and that was the way to go. I would definitely use them again and/or recommend to friends and neighbors.

Fine. I had full confidence in Mark Berg and his advice. He said I could have someone else do the burner cleaning and thermocouple replacement, but they needed done now. It had been four years since it was last replaced and the life was about four years for a thermocouple, plus the burners had not been cleaned for four years and were dirty.
Description of Work: Duplex unit would not heat; heat turned off before it was 68 degrees, the legal requirement for rental property in St. Paul. I installed a new Honeywell thermostat, but it made no difference-problem continued. Mark Berg, 36 years experience, checked the baseboard heating system. He also bled the expansion tank which had too much water-"waterlogged". The heat at the rental unit was then inspected by Mark Berg. He took the new Honeywell thermostat's front face off and studied it. He diagnosed the problem as one of two tiny on the back of the face not being set correctly. He reset the switch to work correctly for a h9ot water/warm water heating system.swithcesthe Heating system checked in rental unit of duplex. Temperature going up when he left and was at 64 degrees. However, problem persisted. I had renters use a heater I supplied them to get it to 68 degrees. The City inspector removed the Condemned placard-the notice if problem was not fixed, no one could live there. I called Rascher Plumbing and Heating again, stating problem continued according to tenants. I double-checked temperature with two independent thermometers I bought at Menards and both thermometers read 64 degrees at 5 feet off the floor, so they matched the new Honeywell thermostat reading that the room temperature was 64 degrees I scheduled Rascher Plumbing to come out and replace the thermocouple because Mark Berg told me it was corroded and to clean the main furnace burners because they were dirty. When I called one of the tenants about the appointment time, , I found out from him that he had installed a new Honeywell thermostat himself one year ago. That thermostat was identical to the new one I had just installed in the past week. I had studied the back of that thermostat the night before and had set the tiny switch just as Mark Berg had done. Whend Mark Berg arrives, I will tell him that the "old" i year thermostat had been set incorrectly by the tenant when he put it in in the past year, probably in March, 2017 at the end of the heating season. End of review for right now until Mark Berg shows up this afternoon to do the above additional work.

The office manager Dave was always very responsive to my questions and referred me to Ferguson's to pick out part. The technician, Jason was punctual and very respectful. He certainly knew what he was doing Even though the work in one of the bathrooms was quite challenging he patiently worked through it and had the job completed.

Jason arrived within the time frame we had been told. He called when he was on the way. The service was excellent--technically competent and a very nice person.
Description of Work: Have hired them many times in the past. This time the job was to install a garbage disposal and two in-counter soap dispensers for the kitchen sink plus tighten the faucet and replace the intake hose. They have been one of the few companies that could work on our hot water heating system in the past.

Excellent! Never charged us anything for our consultation of services needed.
Description of Work: Had a leaking hose on kitchen sink, and called them to replace and service sink. Got me in touch with Kohler customer service to get a replacement part for free. Took 30 days to get from Kohler. We decided to do some remodeling on our kitchen, which will include replacing entire sink and fixtures so we decided we didn't need to repair the sink for a few weeks. That we would just wait until kitchen remodel starts. Would have absolutely called Rascher back for the service. They were so helpful and so responsive to our needs.

Jason and Dan worked to meet my schedule. The work was performed quickly, efficiently, professionally and at a fair and reasonable price. Jason and Dan explained what they were going to do and the need for the upgraded exhaust vent. Jason and Dan placed throw cloths down to protect my son's floors and carpets. Following the installation Jason and Dan completed a very thorough cleanup. I was very pleased with everything about Rascher from my initial phone call through final cleanup. I will definitely use Rascher again when the need arises
Description of Work: My son's water heater failed. Rascher was on-site within 5 hours of my call to replace the failed unit. Rascher provided me several options. I selected a 50 gallon tank with a 10 year warranty. Jason and Dan replaced the failed hot water heater and upgraded the exhaust vent quickly, professionally and at a fair and reasonable cost. In no way did Rascher attempt to sell me any unnecessary services.

Beautifully. We just had a new hardwood floors put in, and the water while not while not a large amount, pooled on a small area of our beautiful floor. I called them Wednesday morning and they were out here by 9 o'clock Thursday morning. Damage to our floor was prevented. We have had other plumbers that I have not been completely satisfied with. My husband and I have been in this house for 27 years and now we are fortunate to have a plumbing company we can 100% rely on. They worked efficiently, they completed all of the work in less time than I thought it would take. Jason and Jake are true professionals. I will hire them again without hesitation and recommend them to everyone I know. Rascher Plumbing and heating also installs central air conditioning and heating units. We will definitely use them for these services. Our 27-year-old heating and air-conditioning unit has never been replaced. It is reassuring to a found a company we can have 100% confidence in. Thank you Jason, Jake and Rascher Plumbing and Heating!
Description of Work: We had a water leak that We thought was coming from the upstairs bathrooms. The water was pooling on the main floor next to the wall enclosing the pvc waste stack. Jason and Jake QUICKLY found the leak that was caused by a tiny nail hole in the waste stack that occurred when the baseboard was naked to the wall in the main floor. They replaced that section of the waste stack with minimal invasion to the wallboard. They also replaced the upstairs bathtub overflow drain and floor drain system. The overflow drain rubber gasket had worn out and the plate screws had rested in the holes of the PVC tube and I could not get them out I had put duct tape over the overflow drain because that's where I had thought the water leak was coming from. They also checked my kitchen sink faucet which is loose. Jason advised me that it is wearing out but is not leaking and does not need to be replaced immediately. I will pick out a new faucet and they can install it for me.

Everyone I was in contact with at Rascher was helpful and courteous. They were very quick to get me an estimate, which was very accurate. The work was done on time, and the plumber (Jason) was friendly. When a couple of unforeseen issues came up, which were explained fully with possible solutions laid out. They seem to really put the customer first. Rascher will be my go-to for a plumber.
