Description of Work: Cleared kitchen drain. The company/service techs are very professional and courteous. There fees seem a bit high. It only took the rep about 20 minutes to unclog the drain. In a case like this, I would prefer if they charged by the hour instead of the job.

Description of Work: I called Atomic Plumbing before noon with a small emergency. (Could wait for a routine response).My "small" issue quickly escalated to a real emergency that had both bathroom toilets and a shower involved. I called Atomic again at three in the afternoon. The repairman showed up within a couple of hours, and worked tirelessly till everything was taken care of. Everyone involved, the ladies in the office, and the technician were knowledgeable, friendly and very professional. I would recommend them to anyone.

Description of Work: The person sent to my house was on time and polite. He checked out the problem and said that the toilet needed to be replaced. He went to get a replacement and put the toilet in. He then repaired a line that was leaking on my new heater, air conditioner unit. The person that had installed the copper line had put in a pin valve that was leaking. He replaced that with a proper fitting device. This added 200 dollars to my bill.. That evening when I went to use the bagthroom the toilet hit against the wall when I got up. The next time I used the toilet the same thing happend. So I placed a call to let them know that something needed to be adjusted to prevent that from happening. I waited all day. Late in the day I got a call that two men who were finishing up their work for the day would stop by. They came by and put a shim in place and tightened up the bolts that fixed the toilet to the floor. There was no charge for this. I think that Atomic Plumbing is good company but they are very expensive. I was surprised at the price of the installation. The men were nice and did a good job. I have no real complaint except that most people could not afford to have them come in and do work at these prices. They did the work, they fixed the rocking toilet later the next day. I paid the price. But I will be likely to shop around for a better price if it can be found in the future. I had called three other plumbers on the list that had no one to answer their phones. As I went down the list I finally came to Atomic. And I chose to do business with them. They did tell me that if they came out and gave me an estimate and I did not use them that there would be a seventy nine dollar charge just for that. I felt that was a bit high also. I am being asked for my openion here and I am giving it with my honest thoughts and feelings regarding the experience. Thank You for Asking me. PJStrickland

N/A - did not choose this vendor.
Description of Work: I emailed them for an estimate. I had used this company years ago when I lived in Virginia Beach, and the work was excellent and they were very reasonable on the price. They did call me, but said they would not quote the job. They could send a rep, it would be $69, and that would be applied towards the job (and they would start at that time) if I chose them. If I did NOT chose them, I would be out the $69. First, I have a general opposition to companies that don't want customers to 'comparison shop'. I understand they don't want to waste time, but - given the prices they charge in comparison to other vendors - I think not providing any type of estimate without a charge seems inappropriate, and tends to make people not want to keep looking since they have already 'invested' in Atomic. In reviewing the Angie's List reviews, I found their pricing - even on the smaller jobs - to be WAY over other vendors. While some of the jobs were extensive, the overall average price was way up there and I was concerned I would be throwing away $69 to have them come in blind and give me a very high price. In their defense, there were no "same" jobs as I was looking for. There was one job the customer said took less than ah hour and was over $400 - the company rep for Atomic did give her a refund (which she did not ask for) but the end price still led me to feel my job would be quoted at over $400 so.. I did not think it a good investment to pay the estimate fee. Having used this vendor before, if I had unlimited funds I might have had them come out just due to the prior quality work they did for me, but as a newly retired person I don't have unlimited funds and the reviews I read (all of them available) really showed what I felt to be an overall higher price than other vendors.

Response from Atomic Plumbing & Drain Cleaning Corporation
I am submitting this response in reference to the report posted on June 11, 2012. While I thank you for taking the time to voice your concerns; I am somewhat confused by your post. You stated you had used our services before and that we did excellent work at a fair price, so I’m not quite sure why you wouldn’t use our services again. You further stated you have an opposition against companies that don’t let you comparison shop, and that is exactly what we want customers to do. The $69.00 diagnostic fee that we charge to send a licensed plumber to your home with a fully stocked truck in order to give you all of your possible options, along with the pricing that goes with them; more specifically, all of your choices with prices. This is most definitely something that cannot be done over the phone, as every single job and problem we run into is a little bit different, and most times more involved than originally discussed over the phone. Therefore, how can we as a professional, begin to claim that we’re being fair to you the customer, if in any way we misdiagnose your problems due to misinformation? This to me is just not right. That’s why we prefer to come out first as a professional, to give you all of your options, with up-front prices, so there are no hidden surprises later. You further stated that providing an estimate with a charge is inappropriate; and I disagree with that statement whole heatedly. It costs quite a bit of money to put a Service Technician on the road with good pay and benefits, let alone the cost for the truck, materials, equipment, and gas. So for small service and repair jobs, it is just not cost effective to run around town giving free estimates. Now with that being said, we do give free estimates on all large jobs, such as remodel work or jobs that are more involved; that’s why we simply cannot give free estimates for service and repair work. We always waive the $69.00 diagnostic fee completely if we stay and do the work, and in my opinion, we can’t be any fairer than that. Please note that most of our customers are more than happy to pay our prices due to our outstanding customer service, our professionalism, our highly trained technicians with top notch troubleshooting skills, the quality of our products and workmanship, as well as our extended warranties. I will close for now by saying we are not the cheapest plumbing company in town, but we are one of the best. As the owner of this 44 year old company, I can honestly say that I always guarantee 100% Customer Satisfaction. Thank you in advance for taking the time to view my response. Sincerely, James S. Steinle President / Owner

,They do good work.
Description of Work: I had a city sewage backing into my house from the street. Atomic plumbing came and identified the problem, the city came and cleared the line, but the backup sewage had damaged my plumbing. Atomic plumbing came on two ocassions, repaired the pipes, and cleared the lines. Both technicians were very professional. I thought that the overall prices were high for the repairs, for the amount of time spent onsite, but I do not have anything to compare these prices with, so I was satisfied with the quality of work, and their promptness. Their telephone office staff , and technicians are very nice and professional.

Description of Work: I'm a Realtor and a very picky one. I set up an appointment on Monday to meet a plumber on Friday. The company called me Friday morning and said the plumber would be arriving shortly. I was very impressed, Eric Toupin with Atomic Plumbing showed up on time, was very professional, quickly evaluated the problem, gave an estimate and waited while I received approval from my client. Eric then fixed my clients plumbing in a timely manner, did not go over his estimated price and cleaned up after himself. I also appreciated the company providing me with a receipt so my client who lives in California could pay by credit card. It was a pleasure dealing with Eric and Atomic Plumbing. I would definitely use him again and recommend him to all my clients. Thank You Eric! Sharon Milligan All Pro's Realty
