He showed up on time and gave us a price that was good. When he encountered the main stack crumbling unexpectedly as he was removing a seriously clogged pipe, the price went up $200, but that seemed totally fair and reasonable . It was a big surprise to all of us and we were grateful he could fix it the same day fast. In the future it would be nice to have a paper receipt with the stuff written down. I was not home when the job was done, and if I had been I would have asked for these things. He did a fine job cleaning up too. My husband was home and he was very pleased indeed. He is pretty picky about contractors and the job went very well. We will use Randy again.
Description of Work: We had a pipe problem with a loud glugging sound and we had thought it was a venting problem, but Randy nailed a different problem right away. The pipe was seriously clogged ...and the main stack had even deteriorated to the point that it crumbled when he accessed it. This did not deter him! It was all fixed great on the day he tackled it. He redid some of the pipes from the sink to the stack which was much needed. He also put in a new hot water heater that we had asked for and the price was way cheaper than our last one. We wanted new spigots in an old shower that he fixed.. Our house was built in 1956 and some of the plumbing needs attention. He is very knowledgeable about older homes.

Very well. Randy Aiken came out the day we reported the warter leak at the curb. We agreed on a contract within a week or so. He worked on getting the city permits. He and his crew did the entire job which was huge in two days. We highly recommend Available Plumbing.

They were real nice about it, they came out on short notice and did something that no body else was willing to do for a reasonable price. People wanted to charge me $400.00 to run a short gas line, which I thought was just obscene, but they did it for $175.00. I was very happy. They were really nice, did a job that no one else wanted to do, and they did it at a reasonable price. It took them an hour. It was quick. They worker was nice.
Description of Work: They ran a short gas line. I needed a gas line for the stove.

Early on, Available Plumbing was very responsive and reasonably priced. Now have noticed that he is much busier, and price charged is quite high for the time spent. Also there is a very high mark up on parts. Customer is charged a lot more than cost of part. Recently, a necessary part was never ordered. When snaking a drain, dirt was left on countertop. A toilet repair did not work--toilet problem (running) is persistent. If using this service provider, ask for cost up front and make sure that replacement parts are ordered. We contacted the provider to communicate our dissatisfaction with the toilet still not fixed despite paying for service visit and high price for parts , and his response was that we should find another plumber.
Description of Work: Have used Randy over five times over the years to replace outdoor faucets, kitchen faucet, repair toilet and shower.

Response from Available Plumbing Inc
We are saddened that after years of working with you, our business relationship has deteriorated this far. Please be reminded that we were quick to respond to your initial request for a phone call in regards to the repair in question and had even scheduled a follow up visit. It was only after your repeatedly insulting emails, questioning our integrity, that we said we were hesitant to continue this business relationship. Randy did in fact give you a verbal quote for the work and parts you requested. Furthermore, we even supplied you with our purchase price direct from the supplier (yes, they were newly dated invoices as we had cancelled the originals), and pointed out that Randy had in fact under quoted you (was charging you less than our cost) because he was honoring the quote he had originally given to you. Your questioning of the parts quoted lacks education about the quality of parts, even made by the same brand, as lesser versions are always available, which we also tried to explain to you. A cheap, plastic model that is the most inexpensive replacement will never be the quality of product that we use. We use plumbers grade products so that we can stand behind our work, which we were ready to do in this instance. After your multiple derogatory emails and this additional tactic of utilizing Angie's List to defame our company, we feel we have made the correct decision.

They responded promptly to my call, came on time for the appointment and were professional. My only area of dissatisfaction was what they charged me. They were in and out of my house in less than 25 minutes and performed very basic services, and yet charged $250.00 I was shocked when I got the bill. However, I own that I should have asked what they charged before making the appointment.
Description of Work: 1) They unclogged one toilet by augering / snaking it. It was not a major clog - so the line opened up easily with the snake. 2) I also had one bathroom sink that was draining a little slow, so they cleaned out the drain (removed some hair and sludge.)

did a good job. The first sink required him to cut out the old pipe and install new ones. So took a little longer but now works fine with no leaks. Very responsive and made recommendations on how I can save money on future items and repairs.

Another plumber could not find the leak after 2 call-back. Randy found the source in less than 10 minutes and proceeded to fix it immediately. The boiler used to leak substantially everyday but has not leaked since. I should add that Randy showed up in the late afternoon on a Friday just a few hours hours after I called him.

They were great, prompt, didn't try to sell me, very nice, fixed what needed to be fix. I am very glad they were recommended to me. 12/19/14 I just got the bill for this service. They charged me $125 to tighten a screw to stop the leak. I think this was exuberant amount of money to charge for 5 minutes of work.

The Saturday preceding the work, my wife had noticed our finished basement floors were wet. Upon further inspection we found that the 4'' cast-iron drain line was leaking behind a finished wall. I called Available Plumbing Sunday morning and although they said they had other jobs/commitments that day, they were able to make it out to at least assess the situation. Since my wife and I were unable to use any water in house, so we told Available Plumbing we needed the work done ASAP. They said they'd have to reschedule their appointments for Monday but it should work out. On Monday they showed up and worked most of the day fixing the drain line and then testing each user in the system to make sure there were no issues. Great experience, no issues. Hopefully we never have emergency work like this again but I would definitely use Available Plumbing again.
Description of Work: Replaced a very large section of the original cast-iron drain piping in the basement through to the crawlspace. The cast-iron pipe was replaced with PVC pipe.

Mr. Aiken set a date and arrived at the planned time. The job was finished in a very reasonable amount of time. This new exceptional bathroom will definitely make our house more valuable. We were very fortunate to have Mr. Aiken do this work. We are extremely happy and satisfied with the new bathroom!!!!!
Description of Work: Completely rebuilt bathroom on end of house. Mr. Aiken rebuilt the bathroom including new plumbing, new floor, insulation under the floor. Mr.. Aiken replaced the electric wiring installing beautiful lamps in the ceiling and a ventilating fan. The lamps and fan are controlled by four wall switches. The new bathroom has FIVE pieces of marble. There are two marble shelves in the shower, a marble threshold, a marble window sill, and a marble threshold at the entrance to the bathroom. Everything is beautiful!!!

Mr. Aiken arrived at the house early in the morning as he had planned, He removed the cast iron pipe. Then he neatly replaced it with plastic pipe. The new pipe was well supported. The work was very professional and he cleaned the floor afterward. The price he charged was extremely reasonable. Mr. Aiken hired someone to carry away the old defective drain pipe the same day.. Overall, we are extremely happy with the job Mr. Aiken did.
Description of Work: Removed cracked cast iron soil (drain) pipe and replaced with a new smooth plastic pipe.

Randy showed up right on time. He looked at the issue and explained to me what most likely happened to cause this problem. He made suggestions how to avoid this in the future. He told me what he was going to do to fix the problem. Randy fixed the problem quickly and did not make any mess at all, although, when he has in the past, he cleans better than my cleaning service! Randy explained what and how he would add the hose out back and gave me an estimate as to how much it would cost.
Description of Work: Fixed split copper pipe in garage. Surveyed for new hose bib in rear of house. Made suggestions to save money and make things easier for me due to my disabilities.
