Description of Work: It took more than 6 months for Marv's Plumbing to fix a leaking bidet for me. The problem was the manufacturer's. Mary's plumbing replaced a part 4 times and each time we discovered the part was defective. Mary's Plumbing eventually got the manufacturer to replace the entire kit at no cost! That's a lot of excellent and persistent work and customer focus.

Description of Work: 6 months ago, I had Marv's Plumbing come out to replace two leaking water shutoffs and to repair a leaking bidet. The plumber replaced the shutoffs and ordered parts for the bidet - no problem. His attempt to fix the bidet several weeks later when the parts arrived failed. Turns out that not only the plastic and o-ring insert leaked but the brass housing appeared to be leaking. Replacement for the brass housing was ordered, arrived in 2 to 3 weeks and it leaked when the plumber installed it. The replacement for the replacement brass housing also leaked. The third set of brass housing plus plastic insert seemed ok but leaked the next day. It is now May - some 6 1/2 months after I initially contacted Marv's Plumbing. After two phone calls to the owner, who promised to get it fixed, nothing more has happened, It hasn't returned my phone calls.

Description of Work: replaced fitting on a gas line. We also had Marv's out in January to replace fittings in leaky faucets. They are on time, they do excellent work, they clean-up after themselves and they are very reasonable. We recommend Marv's. Thanks Angie's List!

Description of Work: They cleaned out my sink line to the sewer. This did not solve my back up problem, but, I was not here when they came. If I had been there I would have asked them to do another procedure.

Description of Work: Not only was it Halloween night, but the guy came out within a coupe hours of my call and in the dark went under the house to find the problem. My plumbing was backed up in both toilets and 1 tub. He checked uderneath the house and found there was a dip in the line in 2 places causing the back up. After he snaked and cleaned everything out he came back a couple days later with appropriate equipment to fix the dips in the line. He didn't just fix the line, he showed me the camera and explained everything he was doing, what was needed to be done, warned me of loud noises he would be making. Kept constant communication, was pleasant, and very informative, and did the job as quickly with efficiency as possible to keep as much of the cost down as possible. I will always call on them when I have a need!

Description of Work: Had a hose bib replaced that burst during recent freeze. I called and requested that they come out ASAP. Said they would come the next day but when I told them I was home that day, they said they would try to get out at the end of the day if at all possible. Their person showed up around 3:30 that same day. He was professional, did not waste time, and did a good job. We would hire them again.

Description of Work: I have a "slow drain" problem in a rental house. It's outside in a basement landing. Plummer checked it and cleaned it. Discovered that there is no pipe connected to the drain, just a gravel bed. He cleaned it out. Water now drains. | |I had to call twice, don't know if they lost my first message. Second time I called, they came right away when I told them it was a drain clogged and it was raining and could possibly flood the basement. | |Cost is about average. 2 hrs. For $180.00 plus tax.

Description of Work: I had serious problems with an old toilet in an old house. I have had |two previous plumbers come to unclog it in the past couple of years who only used a snake device and charged as much. Tom from Merv's Plumbing arrived |on time and went right to work, unseating the toilet and dealing with |issues below the floor and resealing it. It was a miserable and hard job |that took sustained hard work and use of several tools and supplies to fix. Tom worked hard and fast and was friendly and pleasant throughout. |He then fixed issues with the tank, providing greater water flow. |He worked steadily, with many trips from up and down a flight of stairs |to his truck for supplies for almost two hours. This was a plumbing job |that no one previous had wanted to tackle. I was so grateful to finally |get it fixed, not just unclogged. I can't thank him enough. In addition, |Merv's Plumbing deducted 10% from the reasonable bill because I found |them through Angie's List. How can you beat that? More than satisfied.

Description of Work: Repaired a small leak in copper pipe by replacing the affected section; work was performed the same day I called for service. | |The plumber on site was polite, and made the repair quickly and cleanly. | |Personally, I think $180/hr is a bit steep, but that's on par for the local market.

Description of Work: Our families have been using Marv's Plumbing for as long as I can remember. I handle three homes and Dave and his crew have been our saving grace. From leaky showers, broken hot water heaters to the nasty job of sludge backing up a toliet and shower. Call Dave - set an appointment he will send someone out as soon as possible, even on a week-end if you need them. Always fair, polite and courteous. Sometimes, especially with water it might take more than one call because they fix it and the water finds it's way around but Dave and his staff will stay on it until it is perfect
