I have a contract with them, so I get a discount on any work that they do, and they didn't charge me for coming. They do a good job, they are punctual, polite, and they just do good work. I have been using them for years, so I don't know what other people charge, but it is reasonable especially with the contract.
Description of Work: I used Meetze Plumbing today. I had a water main leak, so I had no pressure in the house at all, and they came within 30 minutes of me calling.

The faucet works great and the work was completed and cleaned up in a timely manner.
Description of Work: The gentleman (and apprentice) installed a kitchen faucet. He then completed a home plumbing inspection, including the items I pointed out that needed repairing (replacing). With the number of items needing work, I purchased a repair plan that, as the tech calculated, will end up saving me money.

plumber may be Copper pipe sheared off at brick facing when spigot was turned too forcefully by friend of homeowner, who was able to shut off water. Company employee who answered phone said a plumber would be available in approx. 3 hours. (In fairness to company, incident occurred on a Saturday morning). After 3 hours came and went with no word from company, a second call was made to inquire about potential arrival of plumber. Same employee answered phone but was much more vague, saying only that someone would be dispatched at some time that day. After 6 hours, plumber called to say he was on the way. Spigot and pipe were replaced without incident. Plumber was polite, professional and good humored.

The search for the leak was done methodiclally and professionally, no extra work was performed, but the two person crew worked from the simplest problems to the more complex one (a joint in the copper line and the hardware for the faucets that was stripped and needed to be replaced). Each step that made the job more expensive was checked in advance with us. ... and they appropriately allowed us to determine what work they did and what work they left for us to do. The crew left the site clean. They were very easy to work with and we have high confidence that the work was done well. They answered some related questions appropriately and with little extra fuss. On the other hand, the two person crew was on-site for less than 90 minutes and replaced a modest amount of hardware. The bill of seven hundred twenty-five dollars thus seems somewhat expensive (they're working off a price schedule created by the company so the responsibility for this rests with the owners). Their prices for other types of work seemed to us to be more consistent with the level of effort involved. On balance, we're very pleased with the work.

These guys were awesome. We had 80' of 4" pipe that had to be buried and the guys did a phenomenal job taking extra care of our lawn to ensure it looked as close to normal as possible before leaving. You simply cannot dig a 5' deep trench without injuring the grass, but they were diligent in making sure the sod was replaced and the work site was leveled before leaving. I was very impressed and appreciative of them taking care of my lawn as if it were there own. Fantastic guys!

Work was performed by two master plumbers. They arrived on time, provided an accurate estimate, and completed the work in less than an hour. They had all the parts needed to complete the job. They left the job site clean and the installation has worked fine. I have used Meetze for my plumbing for over 20 years and have been happy with the work each time.

The two plumbers that came were very professional and got the job done in about 30 minutes. Left the area clean and made sure everything was working properly. Suggested running ice cubes through the disposal from time to time to keep the blades sharp. They said those units work for about five years.

When we got up in the morning, our shower wasn't draining and water was gurgling up in the toilet of the other bathroom, while my husband showered in his bathroom. We called Meetze Plumbing and they had someone here in 15 minutes. The clog was cleaned out in 5 minutes. Very satisfactory and courteous service.

This is the third time we have had Lee Hagins, master plumber, do plumbing repairs at our house. He is fantastic! He is courteous, honest, and has a great work ethic as well as superb plumbing skills. On this job, he had Mac with him. I believe Mac must be a plumbing apprentice (with a great mentor). We were also pleased with Mac's work. All the work was done well and everything left clean and neat. We were pleased with the price and feel it is very fair. We will continue to call Meetze Plumbing and will always ask for Lee Hagins.

The replacement of the burst hot water heater pipe went well. The plumber was polite, confident in what he was doing and explained all the work as he went along. Meetze responded timely for the call was made around 5:30pm on a Friday. The plumber returned the next evening to check for any leaks.

Meetze was very professional, and handled all the details with the gas company. The work was done on time and as promised.
Description of Work: I had to have the gas meter moved for an addition.
Jan 7, 2014 my home was one of thousands of Columbia area homes that suffered damaged from the record low temperatures. Thankfully I was home that afternoon and heard a running water sound and immediately started checking. In the master bath water was flowing from under the cabinet covering vinyl flooring and entering bedroom with carpeted flooring. Immediately I rushed outside and turned off the water, picked up shop vac on the way back in and start vacuuming water. It was late in the day and my regular plumber who worked full time with a state agency said he could not take on a job of that.magnitude at this time. The next morning I signed up for Angie's List and chose Irmo Plumbing based on his prior recommendations. Mr. Meetze said he could be at my home later that day. He arrived as promised and I was very pleased with his pleasant professional manner. I was interested in seeing what he had to do to reach pipe and also how my house was put together under the siding, and he did not mind me sitting several feet away watching and asking questions. As I said above, I was very pleased with his work and will call him again when needed, hopefully not for frozen pipes.
Description of Work: Had a frozen burst pipe within an outside wall of my home leading to bathroom sink. Mr. Meetze located where the leak was,gently removed siding and cut approximately 2ft by 2 ft hole in the chip board, removed very wet insulation, removed split pipe and replaced with an updated flexible pipe. He had laid a plastic tarp on the ground under the area he was working and removed all debris when finished. This wet area had to stay open for at least a week. When Mr Meetze returned he brought a recommended carpenter who often worked with him on similar jobs, and he took over and repaired the hole. When a neighbor heard a plumber was working at my home, she came over and asked Mr Meetze if he could take a look at her frozen pipe problem when he finished at my home.

My wife was at home when they responded and here is her report: "The cost of services provided by this plumbing company were completely out of line with all other plumbers in this area. We felt cheated." Since then, we have heard this from many other people.

The plumber, Dawn, came to our home very promptly after we called on the morning of 12/30/13 with a request for an estimate to replace our leaking 50 gallon electric hot water heater. Dawn came out and reviewed our situation and gave us 4 estimates, as I had asked about tankless hot water heaters as well as the tank type that we already had. Based on the infromation she provided, it made our decision fairly simple to stay with the same type we had, as we don't have natural gas and the propane tankless option was estimated to have a higher yearly cost and a much higher initial installation. I checked with a couple of other companies and found Meetze to be in the middle comparing only prices, however, we decided to use Meetze due to Dawn's very professional and courteous estimate at our home. She made no high pressure sales, but simply presented the different options and asked us to call her for any additional information. She and her assistant, Stanley, came out the next morning on New Year's Eve to do the installation. We had determined the day before that a new 50 gallon tank would NOT fit where the existing tank was because the diameters had changed over the years from 24" to 26" and the entry way under our house where the old heater was positioned was only 25". We had another entry under our house which was large enough, but didn't have the piping or electric run. She quickly looked at the possible spot and said, "No problem!". She ran piping and electricity to the new location and had everything finished up, including taking the old untit away in about 2 hours. She and Stanley were great! We would definitely do business with Meetze again.

The office staff were very kind and concerned, even though I had called on a Sunday evening, they had someone out to my house the next morning. They would have come out that night but I said that it was not an emergency. The plumber ran a video camera through my pipes outdoors and found the massive blockage was outside of my property on city property and told me to call the city to remove the large tree root from the city pipes. He did what he could do to clear my pipes so I could have immediate drainage and use my plumbing. He spent over an hour investigating and working. When he brought me the bill, it was only $99.00 and said that they were having a sale on video diagnosis of drainage pipes and that was it! He wrote up a description of the problem for me to give the city. The city responded immediately based on their recommendations, checked it out and found it to be true. The city brought in their tractor a couple of days later, dug up the pipes and removed the large tree root and reestablished a new connection to my house drainage pipes.
Description of Work: I was having sewer back up in my bathrooms
