It did not go well. We had never smelled leaking propane so we were unaware of the smell. Shortly after installation, and for nearly a year and a half after Wallace installed lines outside and inside for our propane gas heating stoves and emergency generator, we intermittently smelled what we thought was a dead animal smell. We live in the country, so that was not totally unexpected, but we could never find the source of the smell. Inside, a horrible smell would occur especially when it was damp. So we bought a dehumidifier that helped somewhat, but the smell continued. Then , when our generator maintenance man came out, he told us we had a gas leak and should call the gas company and plumber as soon as possible. I called Wallace twice and told the man answering we were experiencing an issue with our gas, and he said they would call back. Never did. When the gas company came out they discovered gas leaks both inside and outside and recommended a different plumber. Who we called and who came out that day. It cost over $500 to repair faulty pipe and valves both inside and out. After reinspection by the gas company all was good to go. No more dead smell! Meanwhile, apparently we lost hundreds of dollars in gas. This winter, in spite of the cold, we have used only a fraction of the gas as compared to the past winter season. More importantly was the safety issue. Additionally, the two new toilets installed by Wallace never flushed correctly. We had that fixed when the plumber was out working the gas issue. I would never recommend this plumber. Had we been smarter, we would have taken issue with them in the first month or so after their expensive work was completed. Lesson learned, but a tough one indeed.

The plumber did an adequate job replacing two leaking faucets behind the washing machine and also the water pressure valve for the incoming water line for the house. It has now been 9 months since the work was done and everything is working fine. My one complaint is that while cutting through the pipe to replace the water pressure valve, the plumber's saw poked a tiny hole through the drywall into the next room, which is the main entry hall of the house. I didn't notice the damage until after he had left. The space he had to work in to replace that valve was cramped, so it was not an easy place to cut a pipe. I repaired the wall myself without too much trouble, but it was irritating to deal with.

I chose Wallace because of their excellent Angie's reviews. I have a pop-up drain in an upscale Kohler sink/vanity which became stuck closed and for routine maintenance on an instant water heater. Wallace came out and looked at the drain a month ago, and I have not heard from them since. I called last week and was told that and quot;the guy that does that is on vacation but I'll look on his desk and call you back; I know he tried to call you, but there was no answer.and quot; I called back AGAIN today and asked for Dale, and was told the same story, apparently it is Dale who is on vacation. When I reminded him that he was supposed to call back last week after looking at and quot;his deskand quot;, the man said and quot;OKand quot;. I told the man that I'd just call another plumber, and again the man said and quot;OKand quot;. Everyone makes mistakes or drops the ball occasionally. It is how you handle mistakes that makes the difference. In the technological world we now live, and quot;the dog ate my homeworkand quot; excuse is no longer accepted. Wallace should try and quot;Oh, I'm sorryand quot;.
Description of Work: Nothing. I have been waiting a month for a drain pop-up and my water heater to be serviced. No follow-up, poor communication.

Overall., very well. The plumber was a little grumpy at first (I think the tank full of wet sand may have had something to do with that) but after a little while, some conversation and my checking on how he was doing things got better. I was really glad to find out that he detected the clogged hot water gravity recirculating line and cleaned that out..
Description of Work: Replaced a leaking 50 gal water heater with a 40 gal unit. The replacement is the first of two water heaters servicing the property hooked up in series. The plumber also cleared sand from the recirculating line, removed the old water heater that was 1/2 full of sand and reconnected the gas lines. He also removed the old water heater from the property.

A little research on the web was leading me to think I was going to have to replace the water heater. However Wallace Plumbing came out and inspected the system and quickly determined that all that was needed was to clean out the short In/Out pipes on the top of the water heater. About an hour later they had completely fixed our hot water pressure problem. They said they inspected the water heater itself and it looked good and we should expect many more years of usage before a replacement was needed. They could easily have told me I needed a new water heater and I would have believed them. I am very happy to have found an honest, prompt and professional plumber and will be using them in the future and happily recommend them.

Excellent service. When I called the office, my call was actually answered by someone (none of that and quot;leave a message and we'll get back to youand quot; stuff). The person I talked to knew exactly what I was talking about when I described the problem and what needed to be done to fix it. He apologized because it would be a couple days before they could get to it, but since the faucet was still working and not leaking, that wasn't a problem. On the appointed day the technician showed up on time and got right to work. The faucet is now working just like it was the day it was originally installed. I know a lot of people complain about the cost of service calls (and, for some reason, plumbers in particular) but we've always felt that we are paying not only for the physical repair but also for the knowledge, expertise, and tools and equipment to get the job done. Also, these folks are maintaining an office, inventory, vehicles, and personnel so that when the need arises we DO have somebody to call.
Description of Work: We had a kitchen faucet that was difficult to swivel from one side of the sink to the other. Probably because of this, the entire faucet mounting nut became loose and the faucet was wobbling back and forth on top of the kitchen counter. The technician took the faucet apart, greased the O-rings that were binding, put it all back together, and tightened the mounting nut underneath. Now the faucet spray arm swivels easily and the entire faucet is rock-solid.

Master Tech was called by my elderly mother to fix her toilet. It was like watching a Dateline episode where the repairman comes in then immediately tells you something else (that is expensive to fix) is wrong, not the issue you called them for. My mother did not have a leaking toilet until she called MasterTech for a flusher handle that didn't work. The repairman came to her house, shook her toilet and told her it was loose before he even lifted her toilet lid to fix what she called him for. She told him she did not ever have a problem with a and quot;loose toilet beforeand quot; and asked him to simply fix the handle so she could flush. He was finished within 15 minutes and charged her $168.00. When he left, her toilet leaked from the bottom and the flusher handle stuck. For the first time, she had water all over her bathroom floor leaking from the bottom of the toilet. She immediately called Master Tech back and the same repairman came back. He told her it would be an additional $250+ to fix the leaking toilet. He replaced the flusher that he had installed 2 days prior, and when she told him that she could not afford another $250 and that it didn't leak until he shook it loose, he put silicone around the bottom (with all the water that had leaked around it.) She asked him if that would even work since the silicone was being put down in standing water and was told it would be and quot;fine.and quot; She told him it was not and quot;fineand quot; and wanted to know what the silicone was going to do. She was told that unless she spent the additional $250 there was nothing more he could do, and he left. We called the owner, Jerry, and that did not go any better. He defended his employee and offered to give her her money back. He did not come out and personally inspect the problem or offer to do anything else. He told her he did not like her as a customer, and that he would give her the money back and she could take it and go hire someone else. So that is EXACTLY what she did, thank goodness! Wallace Plumbing highly was recommended to her, and they came in and fixed the ENTIRE problem, including the leaking toilet for $137 total (vs. $418+) These guys have been in business for over 30 years, and a they are good, reputable, professional, trustworthy company.

I used Wallace plumbing for the first time today to repair a couple of toilets and a leaky sink. Not only did the technician fix the problems at a reasonable price in a reasonable period of time, he fixed a couple of other smaller issues at no charge without being asked. The technician was very nice, and didn't try to upsell me in the least. I am pleased with the service I received from Wallace Plumbing, and will use them again.

My phone call was answered and the response was professional and courteous. The person with whom I was speaking knew exactly what I was talking about including identifying the brand and explaining what had caused the problem and identified what would probably be needed to repair the stool. The plumbing technician called before arriving at the house to alert me he was on the way (at the appointed time). He was extremely courteous and professional and completed the repair in a timely manner.

I knew present water heater was old and inefficient. Checked on water heater cost at warehouses and then turned to Wallace Plumbing who had done several small plumbing tasks for me - leaks, blockage. Also checked on the unit they would install and decided to go with them. I felt comfortable that I was in the hands of professional plumbers. They removed the old unit and explained some of the details of the unit. Plumbing service is not inexpensive, but if I feel that I have received good service and my home is in better condition when they leave than what it was before, to me the cost is appropriate.
Description of Work: Purchased a new water heater. Wallace Plumbing installed and brought up to code. Work done efficiently, cost of heater reasonable. Left area clean.

Prompt response to our home to provide an onsite estimate. Upon agreement to selection of water heaters from an information and price sheet they proviced, the order was placed. There was some error in bringing the correct water heater, but once delivered the workers proceeded to install it in a short time. Work was completed quickly. After the workers left, I noticed a small leak in one of the copper joints they had made. I called them and they sent a worker back immediately even though it was after normal work hours. The repair was made at no additional charge. We've had no problems with the water heater. There were no surprises in the price.

There was a slight problem with the adjustment they made on the toilet so we had to call him back and he came within half an hour. He didn't charge any more money to fix the slight adjustment problem. They were excellent.
Description of Work: We used Wallace Plumbing because there were some toilet part pieces that were coming apart. They also looked at a faucet but said it was probably under warranty so we contacted a different company to do that repair.

I will definitely call them with any other plumbing problem. It is nice to have a company with a reputable service and honest pricing in our community as opposed to the over inflated pricing of some of their competitors. Thank you Wallace Plumbing!
Description of Work: I had an outdoor water faucet leaking slowly and had a few calls in to other companies that couldn't get to me until next week. Wallace Plumbing came to my home and replaced the outdoor hydrant within a two day window of my call and were very professional and pleasant. The price that was quoted was a fair price in compliance with other companies' estimates.
