I called them up, using your booklet. The timing was great. He came within the hour I called. He then took out his equipment from the truck and proceeded to clear the toilet bowl. Took only about 5 minutes and the toilet bowl was clear.

I called in the morning and they were able to send out a tech in the afternoon. Jim showed up on time and was friendly and courteous. He replaced the valves under my laundry room sink and re-positioned the sink so that the trap fit better as well. He also checked my hot water lines to see about putting in a re-circulation pump and gave me a bid. I would definately use this company again ( more than likely for the circulation pump).

Thank you for your review!! Reading the service invoice for your call, it looks like there was some issues accessing a clean out to clear your main line. Maybe in the future we could use a sewer camera to possibly locate a more accessible clean out or install a clean out. Thank you.

The supervisor showed up on time in to give me an estimate. I was able to get an appointment in the same day, which I like. He showed up with his private truck and no uniform on him. He did not introduce himself. It was hard to identify that he worked for rakeman and he was busy on his personal phone several times, so we got interrupted a few times. He should have not answer his phone while he was on duty. I had a feeling that this guy is something else, a bit snobby I would say. He reassured that this is a hot water leak and give me an estimate. I mentioned Angie's list discount. He gave me 10% off, but still more pricey than his competitors. So I told him I still have another estimate.
Description of Work: estimate to reroute hot water line. However, his price was $300 more than his competitors. So I decided to use someone else.

We do apologize about how Rafael came off during the estimate. The truck he drives is a company truck and the phone he was answering is a company phone, unfortunately he should of let the calls from our employees go to voice mail while he was onsite. Thank you for the review, there are times everyone needs to learn from and this one was it for us.

Junior arrived on time, was courteous and extremely efficient. I explained the problem we were having and with sediment in our water and he knew immediately that we needed to drain the water heater. He showed me what he was doing so we could do this ourselves in the future. While the heater was draining he cleared the drain line for the dishwasher. This is the first time the dishwasher has worked properly. I will definitely call Rakeman again and would not hesitate to refer them to family and friends.

The installer arrived as scheduled. He answered most of my questions. The new unit is working fine. I had a few concerns following the installation, which were immediately addressed and rectified to my satisfaction. Note about the price: Rakeman's cost for the service is competitive with other vendors.

It was a nightmare. The plumber said he would have to put hole in wall to install hammer resistor. but he said they do not do drywall repair. I said No. So he asked where the main water shut off was located. He proceeded to the shut off and started to adjust it. It started to leak. This went on for about an hour. Lots of contact with the supers at the office , because i was very upset. He had to replace the valve. After he left I had no water pressure. Called the office. they would send out the same guy. I said no. Meanwhile I called Anytime plumbing. Jared came out right away. He immediately saw the problem. The valve was installed upside down. He reinstalled the valve at no charge. Bless him. Then the pilot was out on the water heater, which was next to the valve. Called Rakeman to relight at not cost to me. They obliged.

We at Rakeman Plumbing apologize for how your service call was handled from the beginning to the end. Our service technician's are trained to double check all their work, even though Gene is new he should of checked his work. In our experience in the past with a water hammer in a house that suddenly started, adjusting or replacing the PRV has solved the water hammer issue. Hopefully the water hammer issue is gone now that the PRV is installed the correct way. Once again we do apologize for how this service call went. It will be used as an example of what not to do in our training and meetings, if we want to keep a A rating.

A technician was available within an hour of my call. Tommy was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We discussed what types of fittings to use and he gave me knowledgeable advice. He was also able to do the work with negligible damage to my stucco. The price seemed exorbitant to me, but the work was quality as well as providing some advice regarding other projects. Hindsight I could have done this job myself for about 20 bucks, but live and learn.

I ended up re-using Rakeman Plumbing which I originally got from Angie's List previously and they did a great job so I used them again. I've used them for five times now. They always show up when they were supposed to show up, always did the work that I asked them to do and the charges were what I consider to be reasonable. Obviously, they're good enough that I called them back and used them again. I'm willing to pay a little bit more if the work is exceptional, it's prompt and everything else, in other words, I'm willing to pay the premium for good work. Their rates aren't what I call a steal bargain but they're not bad at all, you definitely get what you pay for. I wouldn't call them cheap, I'd call them a good value.I called them in the morning and they were there in the afternoon early. My brother was there by 4pm and the problem was gone, I can't ask for much more that that. I will absolutely use them again.
Description of Work: There was a valve mechanism inside the tank that needed to be replaced.

I called the dispatcher after the pipe started gushing water. I was in a panic and the dispatcher walked me through turning off the water ( yes, I am clueless!) She was very patient and had a plumber here promptly and even reminded me to print the 15% coupon. Junior arrived quickly. He was very polite, professional and knowledgeable. In no time had the pipe fixed and we had running water!!!!

Thank you for using Rakeman Plumbing and for writing the review!!! The anti-siphon that Jr. capped off is used for back flow protection of the irrigation system. Capping the line off, prevents water to go to your irrigation system. If yo would like the anti-siphon replaced in the future please give us a call. Thank you!!

We received a frantic call from our tenant that water was spewing from the hot water tank in the garage. The tenant wanted to call 9-1-1 because he had no idea what to do. My husband told him how to turn off the gas and water while I went online to Angie's list. Rakeman's Plumbing had an A rating so I called them first. I was told the base price for tank replacement, and what things might raise the cost, such as various fittings. I was impressed with the open and organized spiel given by the office manager, and didn't check with any competitors. Rakeman took my credit card number and immediately sent a plumber to our house. Within a couple hours of our tenant's call, the new tank was installed and functioning. My credit card was charged $950 - the same price I had been quoted. Last night I left a message with Rakeman's that I had not yet received a receipt, and asking if I had been credited with my Angie's list discount. Eileen, the office manager, returned my call this morning to say she was crediting me with $50 Angie discount and would email the itemized receipt right away. She did so.

Thank you for using Rakeman Plumbing!!! We appreciate the review! Please registrar your newly installed water heater at the rental house with the manufacture. This will let you have full use of your warranty. If possible please have your Angie's List coupon available at the rental house at the time of service, this will avoid any confusion with the discounts. The coupons are the only way we can truly know that the customer is part of the Angie's list family. If you have any plumbing issues in the future, please contact us. Thank you again!!

At 6 o'clock that evening there were three more leaks in the same pipe they repaired earlier that day.had They should've noticed the weak spots and replaced the entire pipe not a section of it I had to pay for them to return a second time, the man on call in the evening was at my home until 11:30PM. He was very nice but the whole incident could've been prevented if they had attended to it earlier

This review is an unfortunate one because the home owner did not state the complete scenario. Our first service technician did notice the condition of the existing pipe and recommended a re-pipe on their invoice. I can only assume when repairing the leak on the first call, the existing pipe was weakened do to its condition and the second leak started. The second technician did not on the invoice that the leak they fixed was not close the fix earlier in the day. Thank you for your review.

We thought about it and this week I decided to call again and get under the sink done, that way the kitchen would be done so called Rakeman and requested Tommy again cause we know his work. We have lived in Las Vegas for 35 years and know a good worker and Tommy is the best plumber ever!!! Now we are happy campers and the kitchen sink and under the sink is all fixed right. If anyone is out there and needs a wonderful plumber call RAKEMAN and asks for TOMMY and he will take great care of your plumbing needs Thank You Angie and Rakeman and of course TOMMY. G.Genest
Description of Work: We called and needed someone to change our kitchen faucet so they sent out Tommy and he was very pleasant and on time. Very professional and did the job in a hour. Cleaned up, very neat. We were very happy with Tommy. He said in the future we might consider to get under the sink fixed so it doesn't leak water. Didn't pressure us when or that we had to do it.
