They have worked for us off and on for 20 years. I can’t say enough in their favor. Came even when the snow flew to clear a roof vent. Since it’s a small operation it’s understandable if they don’t get there super fast, but it’s worth it to me to have great work done.

He cleaned out the sewer pipe under the house which was the source of the problem. We have used this company for years for many sewer blockages and also had a new water heater put in a few years ago. We have usually had the owner, Bill Westerman come to do the work and have found him to reasonably priced and does a great job.

Great! I've received very good service from Get Smart in the past, so I didn't hesitate to call them. They arrived on time, got right to work, and everything turned out great. They assessed the toilet a just needing a new flapper, and I believe they snaked the sink (I wasn't watching, but it drained great when they were done!) I can certainly recommend them to others, with confidence.
Description of Work: My kitchen sink was stopped up, and my toilet was running.

He was excellent. He even let me know of a possible problem ahead of time, so he was able to prevent that problem. It never happened. Because my sink had been in so long, there was a chance that the laminate on my counter would break when he tried to separate the sink from where it had been in the hole so long. He was able to do that without messing that up, which meant I didn't have to have new counter-top before I had the sink installed. I had to call from the store with a question and he called me back right away.

Provider was called on 2/2/2016 about a leaking toilet at our business at Liberty Tax in Oyster Point; he came out the next morning. He replaced the plunger flap and the tank bolts. As he put it, "I replaced everything I could replace, but I still could not fix the leak." I was pleasantly surprised that he didn't charge us at all for what he replaced! He also conducted the repair quietly and discreetly so business was not interrupted. His estimate on replacing the toilet was reasonable. The toilet was replaced the next day. Will was very pleasant to work with. Liberty Tax at Oyster Point would definitely use Get Smart Plumbing again!

I had used this guy back in 2011 for a little job so I called to see if he could handle this which he said he could. Called him on a Friday and he told me that he would be there first thing Monday morning. Well it rained h****** Monday and he could not do anything but showed up about noon on Tuesday. We decided what had to be done and he gave me a price with a $200 range. We agreed and he went back and got his equipment (a ditch witch digger) and was back about 2:OO. His wife got hold of Ms Utility and the Waterworks and had emergency markings in the yard to find out where the gas line was so he would not get into it and get some parts for the meter. He stayed and had the line put in and the water back on by 7:30, checked all of the faucets in the house to see there was no contamination in them and left about 8 pm to go home. He came back on Wednesday to fill in the ditch and put things back in order. His price came in at the bottom end of the range so that made me happy. This individual (Bill) is a master plumber, and does not do anything except pluming. Does everything his own way and does not take any short cuts. I found him to be a very good plumber and was well satisfied with his work. He did not put anything in writing which was a little disconcerting but he did everything and more that we talked about. I would definitely use him again for any pluming needs.
Description of Work: The water line from the street to the house failed (after 35 years) and water was coming up through the ground, He could not pinpoint the leak as it was far from where the line actually went so we had to replace the whole line with a new one.

They have always been super-reliable and fair. We used them whenever we have plumbing issues. They did a splendid job for us the last time they were here. They gave us a quote and stuck to it specifically -- not a penny over it. It was exactly what they said it would be -- parts and labor combined. We are probably going to be using them again in about a week or so for some other things we need to have them do.
Description of Work: Get Smart Plumbing, we have used their services. They changed out some sinks in our master bathroom

I asked for a free assessment and Will was very prompt, professional and informative. He gave me fix-it-myself solutions to three problems I had questions about -- all for free. I shook his hand and told him that he was now our plumber for any future work we might need. An honest man with integrity -- hard to find in this day and age.

Details given above. Would not hesitate to use Will again, but I did not appreciate being 'misled' on the phone about a 'trip charge'. For this reason, I probably would not use Get Smart in the future.
Description of Work: Called to have a toilet tank problem fixed in one of my bathrooms. It turned out to be in need of a new Fluidmaster, which was installed in only about 10-15 minutes. Because that job was finished so quickly, I asked Will to look at another problem I was having in the master bathroom. I wanted to find out if it could be repaired easily and what the cost might be. The lever on the front part of the tub that lowers and lifts the tub drain stopper had been 'frozen' in place for a long time. The solution that had been suggested by my local hardware person might instead turn out to be a potentially bigger problem, according to Will. He took the time to explain everything. He suggested the alternative fix of replacing the drain stopper with just a manual one (that is still attached). This was a much simpler, and less expensive solution, particularly since my fixtures are antique brass, which are not easy to find nowadays. Will was able to order the replacement piece, and he came back about a week later to install it. I appreciated Will's help with all this and the time he took to explain everything to me. Have been happy with the solution, particularly since the stopper is seldom used as we usually only take showers. The cost for this part of the job was $100 for the labor and $71 for the part. The original cost for the toilet repair was $101 and $12 for the Fluidmaster, minus a $20 coupon. The one thing I was not happy about was the $59 charge that was the first item on the bill (but Will did not charge on the second trip). I asked Will about it, as I had specifically asked if there was a trip charge when I was shopping for a repairman. I had been told "No" on the telephone. Because I live in Grafton, I try to find local business people who will not assess me a trip charge. Will did not know about that conversation, but he said the $59 charge was standard on all their bills.

Bill (Qwner) arrived an hour late, but began his entrance in apology. We discussed a previous estimate of $1,500 (labor, with me supplying heater and hardware). He was hyperactive and agreed with everything I requested, but continued to revert to making a diagram, which I was unable to read/understand. I did not expect him to start the job at 1:30PM, and thought the purpose of his visit was to confirm the price and inventory of materials for the job. However, as I said Bill is hyperactive and wanted to start immediately after I agreed to the previously quoted price. He kept telling me how Great a deal I was getting, and that it was half the normal price. He then asked where I wanted the washer junction box and when I told him he bashed a hole in the wall with a hammer (no marker lines or scoring with blade to make smooth edge). Every time I suggested something to him, he rebutted me with and quot;that's not the way WE do thatand quot;. He left at about 3:30P to go get some stuff he said, and returned about 6:30P with three pieces of Pex line (only two were 3/4and quot;) and some hardware he wanted to supply. At about 12AM he moved the heater in the house and fired up his torch (could have been done outside). The 26and quot; pan was to small, so he went home at 1 AM and returned at 9AM with a 30and quot; pan that was so large that he smashed it against the back wall to make it fit. After we had some heated discussion about where he would mount the loop circulater pump, I went into the other room and he put it where he wanted (easiest) lower. The valves at the washer box were open, so when he turned the water on a flood insued requiring me to mop up the mess. Once the heater was energized I took a shower and he reluctantly went to insulate pipe below. He only insulated the 1/2and quot; return because he said and quot;that's the way WE do itand quot; and I am a Plumber not a pipe insulator. I made the electric panel termination, cleaned up the mess, while trying to protect my new wood floor from his sloppy workmanship, and still have finger prints to get off of doors etc., so I feel like I helped prevent a major screw up. When he proclaimed he was finished, I was glad to hear of his planned departure. He presented me with a bill for almost $400 more than his estimate. I knew he bought Some extra stuff, but he did not once during his hyperactive (talking to himself) rants, tell me how much extra I would be charged. I guess at well over half a million $ a year ($1,500/eight hours) I should've expected that I'd need to Pay More and been more selective (GET SMART) before hiring Get Smart Plumbing.
Description of Work: ? / Most of the work was under the house, so I am still not sure. However, the scope was to install two 3/4" feed lines and 1/2" hot water return, insulate the hot lines (below/above) install new washer junction (3ft from existing) and install supplied water heater. He did not buy enough 3/4" pipe, so I am guessing the hot feed turned to 1/2" early (probably before reaching the bathroom, which is the reason for running that loop.

At least I didn't have to pay anything except wasted time.
Description of Work: On Wednesday, 1/9/13, I called Get Smart Plumbing and explained that I had just had my kitchen remodeled and was unhappy with the plumbing job that had been done. My sink drain is leaking and the drains still have goo coming up into the sink. The secretary scheduled Friday (1/11/13) for Mr. Westerman to come look at the problem and give me an estimate. At noon when I was expecting him to come, I received a call from the secretary who explained that Mr. Westerman did not want to take my job. Then she explained that he said that he "didn't want to get into someone else's mess." It just seems strange to me that a plumber, who mostly works on already installed plumbing, wouldn't want to do a job because he didn't want to get "into someone else's mess." I also thought it was unprofessional to wait two full days to call and tell me this when I have a leaking sink. Now I will have to schedule another plumber and wait even longer to enjoy my new kitchen.

Called these people mid-morning and they assured me a technician would arrive between the hours of 12 and 5 in the afternoon. At approximately 5:45pm I got a call from their office(?) saying they were on the way. The caller said they had tried calling earlier to inform me the technician (owner) was running late. That was a lie...I sat waiting by the phone all afternoon waiting and no one called. Sure seemed like an amateur hour operation...make that amateur six-hour operation,

They had very poor services. They didn't show up when they were suppose to show up numerous times. they misdiagnosed a leak that was occurring to a point where they replaced tile that didn't need to be replaced. They charged us $650 for a shower unit that I saw at a hardware store for $99.99. I wish that we had fired them from the get go when we had our doubts.

I was pleased with their service. The reason why I would have to grade them a C on professionalism is because I noticed that the repairmen did not wear uniforms as they came in just plain clothing. I was however pleased that they cleaned up the mess they created when they were repairing my toilet.
Description of Work: I had them fix my toilet. They took the toilet off and had to grind off the old bolts and put new bolts in the grout. They had the work completed in about an hour.

They were excellent workers. It only took them about 1 hour to finish the job. They cleaned up after themselves and I was very happy with the price that they charged us. Anyone who needs a plumbing job done in their homes should call get smart plumbing. They are very professional and polite. The commode that they put in is great for anyone that is handicapped, it looks pretty luxurious.

Get Smart Plumbing provided us with great results. It was a job taken care of in a very timely fashion. They were able to get it done right the first time. The new drain works properly now and for what plumbing costs now a days they really wasn't too bad in price. I feel that they did a good job all around. I would use them for future plumbing needs.
