Arrived when they said, started a water line replacement...send me pictures of a discovered upon excavation sewer line requiring fixed as it failed. We never would have known about it without Iron Dog. They could have waited till be called them with that problem....they didnt. Water can flood your home, a gas leak can burn or kill. I dont want to hope I can trust who is working on these utilities, I want to know it. Hire Iron Dog Plumbing and you can know it too.
Description of Work: Installed a water supply line into an investment property. In doing so, they found another contractor working in the area had damaged the sewer line (municipal curb replacement) and performed a below par repair. Notified the right people & oversaw them coming back to fix it-the right way. Quick recap: 1. Found the problem. 2. Found the creaator of the problem and had them fix it. 3. Oversaw to insure the repair was done correctly.

Jim was considerate of my need to have the rest of the house function and took care of it very professionally. He was friendly and easy to work with as far as questions I had for him. He answered everything fully and gave me options. His price was more than fair. And it all works now!
Description of Work: had an urgent need for a plumber, though not an emergency, called several who could not come for many days. I literally stopped Jim on the corner of my street as he was talking with some of my neighbors. he said he'd stop down in a few minutes to look at things and he did. he came back the next day and got my water back onto most of the house until I got the trim kit I wanted. he came the day after I got the trim kit and returned to put it on,

This company is off the charts excellent. Quick response time and solved all of the sewer line problems. I own a lot of rental property and it is difficult to find a plumber who is just outstanding.

We had sewage back up in the basement. We first called Roto Rooter thinking it was just a quick snake job. When it became apparent that Roto Rooter intended to fleece us, we fired them and hired Iron Dog. Jim’s guys quickly found the broken section of sewer, repaired the pipe and the concrete. They were prompt, professional, cleanly and kept open lines of communication. The cost was very, very fair. We’ve hired Iron Dog many times over the past 20 years, and we’ve never been disappointed. We will definitely hire Jim and his crew again...and again!

Jim Damratoski, owner of Iron Dog Plumbing, was referred to us by the realtor that sold us our house as a company that was responsive, did quality work and charged a reasonable rate. We found all these qualities to be true. Jim was very easy to work with and was respectful; just an overall good guy. He recommended replacing the broken gas line by "shooting the mole", a pneumatic driven bit that bores underground. Jim encountered a few challenges boring through the clay and shale from the curb up to the gas meter. But he's an accomplished mole shooter (it's as much art as mechanics) and in less than two days successfully linked us up to the main line. We were only without gas for a very short time. This was done with minimal disturbance to the yard. The two other quotes I received were 3x more expensive and would have involved trenching the yard. I'm so pleased with Jim's work, I plan to use him on other projects.

Brian Patak came to the house. Not only did he make a complete mess in my one bathroom changing a faucet, he attempted to change the bathtub fixtures that I bought. Unbeknownst to me, there was a leak and apparently the tile board behind was not stable enough to have the faucet changed out before fixing the other problem first. Brian never once communicated this to me. Since he had already fixed the overflow pipe, I may have been able to report this to my insurance company. However, Brian took out the original faucet and began to place the new faucet in. He then told me about the problem, charged me... and at that point my insurance was not willing to pay. I am now stuck paying for a complete redo of tile thanks to this man. If this was not enough. While this was going on, we had him work at a relatives house. At this point, we did not realize he was a crook. He began to a plumbing job, and left right in the middle. This resulted in a flood. A very very costly flood!! I tried to contact the owner of the company and his excuse was that "Brian no longer works for us!" That may be true, however, I hired his company who sent the so called plumber. They refused to help us. USE AT UR OWN RISK!!!!

I was satisfied because they showed up on time with 2 men, for a price of $85/hour plus the trip charge. They needed additional parts to complete the toilet install -- because of sloppy (or at least "non-standard"...) work by previous plumber (Stahl roughed in a brand new bath on 3rd floor so all was new and should have been good to go, but wasn't for the toilet) and also because the new toilet came with a defective part -- but Iron Dog had all the tools and parts they needed with them in their truck so they were able to get the job done and I didn't have to pay for extra time while they drove and fetched parts. They were professional and they gave me some advice on another project I was stalled on due to some uncertainties (drainage outside). I was thrilled to have the first toilet in the house, which is gutted to the studs, and to have a working sink, for $279 which I felt was a reasonable price. I will call Iron Dog again!

I've used Iron Dog for quite a few years. I've always been extremely satisfied with Jim's work. He is very professional and he knows his work. You know when you get a feel for someone who does a good job and takes pride in their work? Well, Jim is one of these types, he takes pride in his work and his company. I've come to rely on him for all of my plumbing needs. In the past, I've had my sewer lines snaked, minor bathroom plumbing issues, and a hot water heater installed in 2005 which lasted for eight years. My last issue, sometime in the summer of 2013, a hot water heater, he wasn't able to do the job personally so two of his employees performed the work. I can't recall their names, but they were professional and they did the job to my satisfaction. I trust Jim and I highly recommend Iron Dog Plumbing.

My dad started to use Iron Dog about 10 years ago. He found him to be pleasant to deal with, friendly and reasonable. So when I needed a plumber to replace a broken water heater that was flooding my basement he was my first call. I'll try many fix-it projects myself but when I have no luck, like with the clogged drain, I call a professional. Iron Dog is one that I know I can trust. He comes out quickly, he may apply a quick, temporary fix but it gets you out of the emergency situation. He is quick to come out later that day or the next day and provide the proper, professional repair at a reasonable price.
Description of Work: We were having problems with our kitchen sink draining properly. We've used Iron Dog before so we called him to come in. They looked at it finding the problem was the bigger line in the basement. He cleaned it out as best as he could telling us that part of the problem was roots. He responded quickly, acted professionally and the quick fix has been good for over 6 months.

Jim D. from Iron Dog Plumbing is amazing. My main water line broke and I was getting water in my basement. He was there within a couple of hours of my call. He gave me the best price after 3 estimates and did an amazing job - I couldn't even tell he was there...except my basement floor was dry. You can totally trust him, he's a really good guy. I'm so thankful I found him!!!! He wont disappoint, call him!

They were professional in their communication, prompt with service and they worked extra hard to find parts for our very old system. Overall - a good experience.
Description of Work: Replaced bathroom faucet/countertop unit. They were honest about what our options were and they provided us with choices that would enable us to get the work done according to our needs and to some degree in consideration of our budget. Due to the nature of the work, our budget could not be met but it was not within the control of Iron Dog.

Jim was FANTASTIC. He is an absolute PROFESSIONAL. He did a great job, did not rush it, and was superb. He noticed that the new model had a different plug, but came up with a professional work around and did not charge me extra for this. His advice was superb, and he seemed really HONEST and HARD WORKING. I would recommend Jim very highly to anyone. He's just great.
Description of Work: My kitchen disposal stopped working and I needed to replace it with a new one. I found a great model on sale in Costco and it was bigger and better than the old one. I finally got around to making time to install it this weekend... but upon opening the new disposal box, chickened out (I had not done anything like this before, and did not want leaks etc). So I looked up Angie's list, read a few top reviews and decided to go with Jim. I called him up and he promised that he would be able to come in the same day (Saturday!).

All in all, it went very well. Jim is very nice. He is pricey, but he did a very good job. His responsiveness was good. If I can find someone cheaper, I would probably use them. It was like $16000 which was expensive. That’s a lot of money for plumbing, but I would call him back.
