Description of Work: I had not previously written this report because it was not favorable but when a friend told me of her unfavorable experience with Midway, also, I decided to go ahead and reply. To the benefit of the company, when I complained I received a nice note and a partial financial refund. So, did my friend. However, the prices initially charged where quite high in my opinion and the outcome unsatisfactory. I was expecting more.

Response from MIDWAY PLUMBING
Dear (removed member name), Again, we would like to apologize for the service you received in Nov. 2014 on the toilet repair, and water heater installation. We do admit that our licensed plumbing technician failed to make the proper repairs on your toilet, and we refunded 100% of your money on that portion of your service. We also issued a $250.00 credit on any future service repair needs. After 32 years in business, and over 4,000 service calls a year, and an A+ Better Business rating, we do admit at times we make mistakes, and fail at 100% customer satisfaction. Those mistakes don't keep us from tying each, and everyday to improve. We have used the service at your home as a training example for all future repairs. We realize that one bad service experience, and a bad review on the internet have repercussions for our company, and for each employee's future income for years to come. That is just one of the many reasons we strive to give value, a 100% customer satisfaction, and a money back guarantee. In your review you stated that you feel we did not do enough. I'm sorry you feel this way 6 months later, because we thought you were satisfied. I have reached out to you two times, and have left you voice messages. Please return my call at your convenience to give me the opportunity to make this right. Respectfully, David E. Ratliff 325-698-4399

The last time was for annual water heater service (goes with purchase of original water heaters). During the inspection, one of the anode rods was replaced. Afterward the bathroom faucet quit working. I bought a faucet (separately from Home Depot) and Midway installed it for free.

They came to our house the first day and introduced themselves and did everything they could not to make a mess. It took three days to do the whole job, but during that time, they would take time to answer any of our questions. They were very professional and courteous and I believe worth the money. I am definitely going to use them again.
Description of Work: We had a slab leak and they came out and did their diagnostics and gave us the choices we had to fix the leak. We went with the overall house relining option, which was most expensive, but should be worth the added expense in the future.

I would definitely recommend them for smaller jobs because they are very nice.
Description of Work: I've used Midway a couple of times, and their plumbers are extremely friendly and do a great job of explaining all of your options. The only problem with Midway is that they are a bit overpriced. They do all of their pricing from a book...which tends to make it much more expensive than it should be. I was quoted 3500 to replace a gas line and ended up having it done by Lone Star Plumbing for only 1600.

Waste water backed up into our bathtub when the washing machine and dishwasher were running.We've had two plumbers out in the last year. Both were sent by our home warranty company, and both of them cleared drains at the problem area only for issues reappear. While I miss paying only $50 - $150 for plumbing repair with the warranty, I am confident that Midway will get the job done. They sent a serviceman out almost immediately. Wayne was very friendly and professional. I appreciate that they cover their shoes when indoors and bring a giant doormat to keep from tracking anything in. He gave us an estimate and explained how and why he would go about fixing the problem. He even showed us the book with all of their prices. (They do not charge by the hour, but rather by the job.) After the job, Wayne showed us the video inspection of the line and showed us any concerns he had. There is also a 67 day warranty on the line that was cleaned. Our job had to be done through the roof, so it was a little more expensive than if we had a clean-out on the ground. Also, there was a $98 travel fee since we live outside of Abilene, but we were informed of that when we called.

We had a pipe burst inside of the wall between the kitchen and the exterior of the house. We have previously used Key City but when we called them they told me they couldn't make an appointment until their boss got back in in about 2 more hours. What?? So we called Midway next and someone was there within 20 minutes. Turns out it was an old abandoned pipe that the top had burst off of during the bad freeze. He fixed it in no time flat and also put on an outside hose bib while he was here. Our plumber was courteous, did very well with my 2 year old trying to hang all over him, overall an excellent experience given the circumstances. We will definitely be calling Midway again.
Description of Work: Shortened and capped off an abandoned pipe that had burst its top, also put in a new hose bib.

I'm sorry but our computer does not show any record of replacing a water heater for you, ever. The last service that Midway Plumbing did at [this address] was a free estimate on 1/19/2007 for a complete hot and cold water repipe. Could you be mistaken which contractor you used?

When our only toilet would not flush, we were desparate. We called Midway because we had heard that their camera could find out fast what the problem was. When the plumber arrived, we were impressed that his appearance was professional (you know, plumbers don't always do well in that area!). He was on time and got to work right away. He would tell us every action he was doing, every step of the way.We appreciated that...then, bingo! He showed us through his monitor that the camera found some roots that had got into the sewer pipe that were blocking it up. He then showed us how he was going to cut it up. That didn't take long and then he got with us on the payment. Again, he showed us and explained to us what the charges were. I wish I could remember his name. I saw him again when the business (Card and Party Factory) I was working at also had a clogged toilet. He worked in the same manner at that time and the company was pleased. The only reason I don't give this company an "excellent" rating is the price was a little more expensive than I wanted to pay. Don't get me wrong, the price wasn't outrageous, just in between moderate and expensive. I am not sure the dates I listed were correct.
Description of Work: We had water backing up in our sink and a backed up toilet, plus a slow running washing machine. Midway found that a root system had gotten into our sewer pipe.

Midway Plumbing has a A+ Rating with the Better Business, has been in business for 27 years, and also has 15 year employees working for the company, and also completes 4,000 service calls a year.You do not reach any of those milestones by being dishonest in a city the size of Abilene. On this paticular project we agree that the job was not completed. The homeowner was expecting their homeowners insurance to pay for the repairs, which was denied by their insurance company. We tried to help them get payment from their insurance company to no avail. Therefore we only recieved a minimum partial payment for the repairs, and subsequently had to pull off the job before completion, and deny any warranties until paid in full.

professional work, frequent communications from office. Price was a lot higher than I expected, but seemed to be in line with current rates when I checked it out. Still a lot of money for relatively simple work and few parts (I already had bought the sink, faucents, disposal and ice-maker line.

Very responsive to phone call. Had Mark (plumber) in our house the next day to do the work. Very professional and polite. He explained the "long-term = more expensive" options as well as the "budget = cheaper" options. Did awesome work and we will go back to them if we need another plumber in the future.

Midway was very professional and prompt. I tried to fix my own leaky bathtub faucets. I ended up tearing the faucets instead of replacing them. They came out at my convenience and were in and out within an hour with a clean job site and now running water again.
