BEWARE of hiring them. The plumber on this job was padding his hours! He'd leave the shop @ 8:30 & clock in then but wouldn't get to my house until hours later (we're a 15 min drive)!! Thankfully we have security cameras that proved he was lying!!! They wanted an ASTRONOMICAL amount of money until we proved he was lying. . . Our security cameras saved us over $500.00!!
Description of Work: Pipe under house was broken, toilet & tub in one bath kept backing up. Their quality of work was excellent, and my bathroom is fixed!

Response from Anchor Plumbing
I apologize about your experience. The job itself total cost was $2,600 and after speaking with you about these issues, we knocked it down to $1,900. Not $3,000. We have researched the issue further and found that our plumber was on the job by 9am sending us pictures via SMS. We went out on a holiday weekend, fit you in and had the job done within a week. Unfortunately, there are customers who are out to ruin reputations, slander names instead of working with the contractor. There was no resolving this properly with this customer. Again we apologize that you feel we are liars, but we certainly are not. We are a small family run business, not crooks. May you have a blessed day.

Mr Lester and crew dug about seven feet back under the slab to repair a leak in the sewer pipe. Excellent, careful and thorough work. I would definitely recommend this company. Work started the day I called, and was completed on the third day. Plumbing was only inoperable for about an hour. No dirt in the house, all work was done outside.

He replaced the facet with one that was better for me. The original one always started leaking after about two months use and I would have to replace the grommet. The he installed is a faucet that does not require a grommet.

We are sorry you felt the pricing was too high, we use nationally accepted price book that stays current and updated. The valve on the wall was severely corroded and had to be cleaned extensively to accept solder. In the future, please visit our website: [hyperlink removed] to visit our savings center. Thank you for your business and have a blessed day! Jerald Lester - M18310

Description of Work: I bought a house and was having problems with sewer line stoppage. Every month it was needing to be unclogged and the home warranty used their own plumber. After home warranty expiration I called Anchor Plumbing and they unstopped the line and it has been almost a year with no problems. Very good price and swift reaponse.

NG!Jerry was prompt, courteous, and efficient. He took pictures with his phone of problem areas under the house that need to be fixed and gave me a good fair estimate on what it will cost to fix the issue. He also did not charge me anything for coming back out to clean the system this date. Called it warranty repairs, even though he did not have to. If you need a plumber, you will not go wrong with ANCHOR PLUMBING!!
Description of Work: Jerry came right out and cleaned out the stoppage in our sewer line. He then reviewed our drainage system and identified several issues and gave me a bare bones estimate on what it would cost to really fix this issue.

Went pretty well, did not fix my garbage disposal that was leaking as he said he did not have a disposal handy. Did clear the drains, but now less than 30 days latter they are clogged again. I have recontacted the plumber to see what he is willing to do to correct this problem. Will keep you posted.

I gave the guys a call and they came out the next day to give me an estimate of the job. They finished the job promptly and didn't charge any more money after finding multiple problems with my drain line. When I bought my house the toilets were not properly connected to the floor and they fixed all three. They were all polite and courteous and did a good job. I would recommend their services.
Description of Work: Replaced rotten drain line to my sink and dishwasher that had caused a pool of water beside and under my house. They also repaired and reseated 3 toilets in my house that were not even bolted down.

Jerry was kind enough to refund me $260. My husband and I were very grateful for that. He is a professional concerned with his reputation in the community, and we like that! We would hire him again.
Description of Work: Needed "cash" up front and claims to have a bionic ear to use outdated equipment. I feel he should have done things in the reverse order, which may have resulted in other services not warranted. Did not complete all that was asked for.

Very professional. They showed up in a timely manner and were able to fix a leak that we had in a 90 degree elbow in the wall of our mother-in-law house. It leaked because the water shut-offs to the house allowed water through even though we had the water turned off. So we also had him rework the water shut-offs for that house and the barn as well as two sprinklers. They were pleasant and professional. I will definitely hire them again if we need any plumbing work.
Description of Work: Fixed a broken pipe and replaced four water shut-off valves.

The talked to me, looked outside and we found out because the shower had not been used for years and because water was turned on the gas is held in the trap and will then escape. They told me i need to start turning on water and letting it run through the pipes every couple of months.

They arrived on time and did very good work in the Aug heat out in the pasture. Came back and finished the next day by turning the water on and making sure that all was well. I am going to use the in the future and already had a friend use them with great results!
Description of Work: I had a major leak that we didn't even know about until the utility company called and said our bill was already over 1000.00!!! So I looked on here and called Jerry at Anchor Plumbing. We had just moved to the area and they were the closest and had good reviews. Jerry and Cody came out and searched my pastures for the leak, found it, dug it up and fixed it. Came back the next day to turn the water on. Cody even fixed a small leak in our barn toilet and didn't charge us! great quality work!
