Description of Work: My kitchen sink had stopped draining. I called Brian's company to schedule an appointment. The day I called he was already very busy but he said he would be here early the next morning. He called a little before 9 AM to alert me he was on his way. He arrived shortly afterward. He assessed the situation and indicated he would have to snake out the clog but would have to access the drain line from the roof vent. As my house is an original East Village home (mid 1950's vintage) he wanted to check out the old drain lines to ensure they could withstand the stress of the snaking. He determined they could. After clearing the clog, he re-checked the drain lines to ensure there was no damage done. Brian informed me that at some future time I probably will have to replace the old metal drain lines with a non-corrosive piping but that was not the case yet.

I thought it was the dishwasher and tried to fix it myself. That didn't work. Called Hayden Plumbing after receiving very positive verbal reviews of his services. I double checked Angie's list and sure enough he has an "A" rating. Brian Hayden not only worked me into his busy schedule, he cleared the blockage by snaking from the roof. He made sure everything was working an draining properly. He even inspected the basement to make sure all the pipes were ok after the fix. He even fixed the slow drain in the bathroom. I plan on using Hayden anytime I need a plumber.
Description of Work: Kitchen sink was backing up. Dishwasher was causing a waterfall out of the pipes.

Very prompt and efficient, even though Mr. Hayden was extremely busy and heavily booked.
Description of Work: We fortunately chose Brian Hayden to replace a water heater several years ago. Mr. Hayden did an excellent job; very prompt, fair pricing, took care of everything, including having the lemon $700+ water heater that another plumbing installed only 2 years previously, hauled off. We've asked Mr. Hayden to do a number of plumbing jobs since; leaks, tweaks, etc., but mostly a terrible kitchen drainage problem that Mr. Hayden has worked on repeatedly. I know he must groan when he realizes which house it is when he arrives. The kitchen drains were improperly designed when the house was built in 1962 and Mr. Hayden has repeatly told me they must be re-plumbed. He's correct. Working in the crawl space beneath the kitchen is terrible, cramped, etc. However, Mr. Hayden does the work very professionally and economically for what he has to put up with. Neither can he understand (and finds it amusing) that I haven't updated three 'retro' bathrooms, but does excellent work on 1960's vintage fixtures. We've recommended Mr. Hayden to several of our friends and colleagues.

Mr. Hayden was very professional and courteous. He did an excellent job. He also tweeked a few things that was not on my list, and I appreciated that.He was on time. (something you don't see too often). He spent 2.5 hours on this job. We spent $340.00, which was well worth it. I would definately use Hayden's Plumbing again if needed and would highly recommend them to anyone.
Description of Work: We had to have the pressure valve changed out because of a leak, also a new handle for the outside main line had to be installed. In the bathroom, the hot and cold was reversed and needed to be corrected and a new shower faucet was installed.

My old water heater, an extremely large one for a residence, that was part of a solar hot water heating system 25 years ago, needed replacing. It was very corroded around the hot water outlet and had started to seep water. I called Brian, who I've used before. He came out to assess the job. We agreed it was not a job for one man. He would provide an assistant and I would be available as needed. We set up a time and he showed up at the time agreed upon. While the old heater drained he put in two new valves so we could turn on the water to the house as the old heater was replaced. The work went smoothly. Our biggest struggle was getting the old one out onto a dolly and up a hill (relatively gradual) to a pickup truck to be hauled away. It took all three of us; none of us under 55. We estimated the thing weighed between 400 & 500 lbs. The new heater by comparison was a cinch to install. Brian and his helper put it in place and Brian hooked it up. He finished it off and turned it on without any problem. When the helper came back from dropping the old heater at a local metal recycler, he informed us that they weighed it in at 710 lbs!!! I feel the whole experience was worth the cost (over half for the new heater and parts). They worked their tails off, and the whole process took ~ 4 hours.
Description of Work: Removed and hauled away old water heater (120 gal beast). Installed new 80 gal water heater, included two new valves and copper pipe.

Tuesday night I had only tepid water. I called Mr. Hayden early Wednesday morning, and he came within an hour to take a look. Although he was willing to trace down the problem and replace old parts (and I have full confidence that he could have), I preferred to replace the entire unit. The water heater had a lot of age on it, it is indoors and a leak would have serious consequences. By lunchtime I had a new water heater plus a good understanding of its workings.
Description of Work: Removed an old water heater and installed a new one. The price above includes the new water heater plus labor.

Called Brian Hayden and he promptly came by and performed the requested service (to clear restricted small diameter drain line from washer to connection to large diameter sewer drain). This is the second time that I used Brian. He is very knowledgeable about the plumbing and drain systems used in the Oak Ridge area and performed the service in a very professional manner.

I had two "economy" toilets that were prone to clogging so I had them replaced. I purchased the replacements myself at a home improvement store and had Brian install them. He is a true professional. He always does a first class job at a reasonable price. I have used him 10-12 times over the years and always have been 100% satisfied. As far as I know, he mostly works in the Oak Ridge area.
Description of Work: Installed two toilets this time, and have used him several times previously for a variety of plumbing jobs.

We discovered a leak from the T-P valve on the hot water heater in late afternoon. We turned off the power and the water, and phoned Hayden. He came out the next morning and investigated the possible reasons why the T-P valve could be leaking. He did some tests to determine whether there were problems with excessive temperature or pressure, and explained what he was doing and why. When he found no temperature or pressure problems, he concluded that the valve must have failed due to a defect, and he replaced it with a part from his truck. Since the water heater was still under warranty, we paid only for his labor, and he took care of returning the failed part for a refund.

Good experience. Prompt response to initial phone call. Willing to come out same day even though not an emergency. Settled on first thing next morning. Came on time and called ahead that he was about to leave. How often does that happen?! He analyzed the situation and we discussed the options. Did not try to push me to a high priced option (new washer box and ball valves). He had the parts in his van and the whole job took less than an hour. He actually gave some pointers on what to look for when opening and closing the main supply valve (tighten the packing nut if it starts to drip, but don't force). I mentioned I had found him (basically he and his wife are the business) on Angie's List and apparently I was the first to say that I had. Nice to know that his business model isn't being influenced by Internet ratings.
Description of Work: Replaced two clothes washer supply valves more that 25 years old that would not not completely shut off.

One of the things that I admire about this company was the fact that they seemed to be more into saving me money and not spending it. They took apart the faucet and it's foundation for a thorough inspection. They informed us that the problem was minor and they could rebuild the system, which was cheaper than replacing it. I thought that was honesty.
