We called Economy Plumping on Saturday and they sent a representative to our home in a timely manner to look at a water leak in our front lawn. We had previously looked at the reviews on Angie's List, as well as their web site, where they clearly state they work on sewer lines. We did not hesitate in calling them because their reviews are above average and their web site clearly states they work on sewer lines. The gentleman that came to our home said that he would need to return on Monday with a crew to dig in our front yard to find the problem and would call us to let us know what they find. We did indeed receive a phone call to let us know that the crew pumped over 300 gallons of water out of our yard, but did not fix the problem because they do not work on sewer lines in the yard, and then promptly told us they would be charging us 180.00. I am, to say the least, put out with this company, and would not recommend them under any circumstances. We could have taken a shop vac and performed the same type of work, which essentially accomplished nothing. I feel they knew on Saturday they would not be able to complete our job, and not only did they waste our time, they wasted our money and I question their ethics. I would encourage anyone reading this review to please move on and call another company.
Description of Work: Pumped water from the front lawn.

The old toilet was removed and the new more modern one was installed. Flushes easily, and no more water leaking on the floor. Exactly what I needed.

It turned out okay. They did a good job. The service was adequate. It was a hot day and the technicians acted like they were in a hurry. We would recommend them.

The first visit they claimed there was nothing wrong although there was clearly a leak (with a puddle of water!) under the sink. The second time a different pair of plumbers came out and replaced a basket. However they didn't give me a bill so I assumed I didn't owe anything (I had paid them the first time). A few weeks later I got a very rude voicemail asking "what was going on" and why I hadn't submitted my payment. I will be using another plumbing service from now on.

The service was fine. They were pricey. After I used somebody else, I realized that they were not as pricey as I thought they were. They were here for probably five minutes. I thought it was kind of expensive but they did a good job. I would use them in the future.
Description of Work: I used Economy Plumbing Service Inc four or five years ago. One time my garbage disposal was clogged because I was trying to chop off some plants. They fixed that.

The plumbers from Economy Plumbing Service Inc. Company went up to the ceiling and the attic and realized that it wasn’t a plumbing problem; it was the roofing. So they gave me some information on how to take care of it. They didn’t do any actual plumbing work but they identified the problem for me so I knew how to take care of it. When we called them, they were able come out quickly. The plumbers were friendly and showed me what was going on with the roof. They helped me identify the problem and gave me some great tips. I appreciated that.

The scheduler, Nadia, was extremely helpful. Bobby and Larry were quick and efficient. They were nice and professional as well as informative. I liked the fact that they treated me as an emergency. I was without water for a couple of days. They were extremely affordable and gave me a discount. I am very happy with them. We have been using them for over 27 years off and on. I was happy to find that they are still number one. I wouldn't trust anybody else.
Description of Work: They had to drill a hole to reroute the toilet hose attached to the floorboard.

I was not too satisfied with the overall experience I had with Economy Plumbing. They did do the work and we haven't had any more problems, but I had a problem with the fact that I got charged for three hours of service, but he had left twice in the three hours. I am happy that the leak is fixed.
