Long story short, we had to trust a plumber since we live out of state. and were having problems with the water. A teacher my daughter works with recommended Forrest Plumbing. We were reassured that Ricky would go to our property before the end of the day; he was there as promised. He had to get into the house to test the water. Ricky was very trustworthy and guided us in the right direction. I would definitely recommend Forrest Plumbing....
Description of Work: We live out of state and have a cabin in Gastonia. We were having problems with the water.

That was a lot of different work. Most of it was under the house that time. I don?t remember the price, but it was a bunch. I think all of that was together. The thing is that we?re not real happy because we had inspections done before we bought this house. And they didn?t seem to find what was wrong with this house, which is costing enormous amounts of money. Which isn?t what we thought when we tried to make sure we didn?t get a house that was in bad shape. Those leaks under the house were obvious. Anybody that went under there surely could have seen those, and all those pipes that weren?t connected and stuff. They?re coming back 4/20, but they have not come back yet. He had some kind of problem that he could not come for 2 or 3 weeks after this time. But since they got the most crucial things done these other things are leaky faucets and that kind of stuff that aren?t real awful so we can deal with that for a few more days. We have several lavatory faucets that are leaking, we have a shower head that sprays everywhere except where you want it. It was supposed to have already been fixed, which the person that we paid didn?t fix it. I need him to do some caulking. Those are all more minor than the other things they had to do.
Description of Work: We just moved in this house a couple of months ago so we are not really all that familiar with everything. There is a jacuzzi in one of the bathrooms and the drain was making loud noises when we would use the water in the lavatory or flush the toilet near that particular feature. Water was splashing up out of the drain when you would use the lavatory or toilet. He went under the house and found out that somebody had not put that drain in properly. Not only was it blocked, but water was pouring out of the drain because it wasn’t connected properly. He had to fix that, put it together right, and clean it out. So far after that we haven’t had any trouble He also had to work on 3 other leaks under the house where pipes were not put in properly and he had to replace an exterior faucet because it was pouring water in under the house. He also replaced a kitchen faucet with a new faucet because it was leaking.

We were wasting enormous amounts of water. He suggested that, we didn't know anything about it, but he suggested that. So, we had it done and so far, it's worked. The first time he set the thing for the hours that it would work, it didn't work. When I told him about it the next time he came he went out and checked it. He checked it two more times before he left to make sure it was alright. So, he went beyond. So far, it's working. It doesn't work 24 hours a day because he said the pump would wear out quickly if we left it on all the time. You set periods of 2-4 hours 2-3 times a day when you think you will be using the hot water more. It works out nicely. We would certainly use them again, which we are.
Description of Work: They put a recirculating pump on the water heater because the water in our house was so absolutely freezing cold and it took minutes before you could get any kind of warm water at all. It was just amazing how long it took.

It was just excellent. They have been having dealing with some severe problems over the last about month I guess. They are supposed to come out this Thursday to finish up. They had a couple of emergency things and then they found some other things that needed to be done but weren't emergency. They've done about three different things so far, and then the last things are supposed to be this Thursday. The last time was the beginning of April. They haven't come back since then. He had some kind of problem and he kept rescheduling. That is why we are supposed to have him here on Thursday. I don't really know about the price. Plumbers seem very expensive to me. We haven't had a lot of plumbing work done in years. It seems very high to me, but it's probably alright, I don't know. They were very responsive. They are very punctual. If they have a problem they call me. They've gotten here just about at the time when they said all the times that they've come. One of the weirdest things that happened when Forest Plumbing came out when they went under the house to check something they found a raccoon under there. So, we had to deal with that as well as the plumbing problem. The raccoon evidently had a lot of insect lice accompanying it so we had to have the sprayed, and under the house. It’s just like a chain. One time you get something and the next time it’s added onto and the next time it’s added onto, we can’t get out from under it.
Description of Work: They had to find where the sewer pipe connected to our house, there was some kind of blockage. We could not use the toilet and a couple of other drains were backing up. They had to get a backhoe and dig out part of the ground near the foundation of the house. Then they put in what they called a clean out pipe after they cleaned and cleared the drain and the pipes.

Apparently they don't want my business. See above.
Description of Work: Called and scheduled a service. Company never agowed up or called. Called again about a week later. Servicer came out, gave me an estimate and a day of service. I took the day off of work to be here while they worked, once again no one ever showed up. I contacted the office, was told they would have a technician call me bback directly. I didn't get a call back. Waited about an hour, called again. Was told the same thing.

very professional and fast service. noticed hot water heater leaking and called them at 630 am. they called back within 30 min and came out at about 1pm. leak was around pressure valve. they tried to see if it could be repaired. heater was 12 yrs old and a reliable repair could not be done. they had 4 people out to my house after I decided to replace it. had the work done that afternoon. they also put in a new shut off valve that was easier to reach. were very courteous and kept me up to date with all that was going on bc I was at work and wife was at home. called back in evening to make sure everything was working working properly and that i was satisfied. couldn't ask for better service.
Description of Work: urgent evaluation of leaking gas hot water heater with complete replacement install of new hot water heater and removal of old hot water heater.

We had a terribly clogged toilet that I couldn't resolve with my best efforts. I called Forest Plumbing and they returned my call promptly and arrived at my home within an hour. The plumber quickly discovered the cause of the clog and resolved the issue in less than an hour (approximately thirty minutes or so). He performed the job efficiently and cleanly. He was also very professional and courteous and provided very good common sense advice on how to prevent future occurrences of the same issue. I highly recommend Forest Plumbing for any plumbing issues you may experience.
Description of Work: The plumber had to physically remove a toilet from one of our bathrooms to successfully unclog it and re-install the toilet.

Excellent. This company's responsiveness is benchmark: the best I've ever witnessed. I called and spoke with Forrest Temple, who was able to schedule his visit immediately. He came out, and had the needed parts to replace the valve at that time. I would not hesitate to hire this company again.
Description of Work: Replaced the main water valve, which was leaking, and flushed out the hot water heater.

Wonderful experience. The company was very responsive and kept me informed. The technician showed up on time and performed the work as promised and on budget. He even took the time to get cleaning solutions and clean the floor after the old toilet was removed and before the new one was installed. I would highly recommend this company to anyone I know.
Description of Work: Technician removed existing toilet and replaced with an ADA height toilet.
