Description of Work: We had a clogged basement stationary tub which needed to be snaked three or four times in the last 5 years. On the last trip, the plumber literally replaced a section of pipe with an access opening so we could "unclog" and easily snake the clog ourselves. All we have to do is unscrew the opening, and run a snake straight down to the clog instead of running it through the drain pipe which cost $95 per service trip. It has saved us from calling the plumber at least two times so far. WM Zachow has always been very responsive and their prices are very fair. My wife and I are very happy with the service we have received from them over the years on not only this issue, but other plumbing issues we have had in the past. After being ripped off by two other plumbing companies, I would highly recommend WM Zachow for their fair prices and there next day response.

Description of Work: Replaced a 17 year old water heater. Not a cut price vendor. But they are reliable and fast when you need a plumber. | |Unplugged a softener while working on the water heater and after our glassware became cloudy we recognized the problem.

Description of Work: For this particular visit, they came to unclog my bathtub drain. They were prompt, clean and resolved the issue quickly. Most importantly, I am a loyal, repeat customer. I've used them for hot water heater installation and toilet repair (actually, the latter was to fix my inept DIY attempt at repair--the plumber gave me an A for effort!). They have always been very responsive, courteous, polite and customer focused. They are my "go to" plumbers!

Better than expected.
Description of Work: We purchased our water heater 4 hrs ago from Zachow. This morning we noticed a leak. I called and they came out within hours to replace. The water heater was still under warranty and the entire replacement did not cost anything. From the woman who took my call to the installer they were very professional and prompt. Their service and responsiveness will go along way. I will recommend them whenever I get a chance.

Get an estimate.
Description of Work: Service person came by on superbowl sunday for a plugged toilet. Spent appx 15 minutes. said he would need to return that week with the "drain people". He returned and the toilet was snaked out to the street in the complex. Nothing was found. I asked for a new dial to turn the toilet off and a new plunger in my sink which was done that day. Total cost?$700.00 and no guarantee that the problem could be solved. They were very nice but i was blown away by the final cost. No I would not use them based on cost and no estimate of the work given. I called for this and figured 300-400 dollars.Other people have said this price was out of line.

They did a great job!
Description of Work: I called because our basement was getting water up from the drain. They immediately called their subcontractor, Kenway, who called and set up an appointment for the next day. They arrived punctually; they were very professional. They showed me an example of the roots they were removing (ick) and explained how to avoid similar problems in the future. Furthermore, they billed Zachow and Sons, who sent me a bill. I would call them again in a heartbeat.

See previous answer.
Description of Work: Responded to call for broken water heater. After hearing the history of water availability, suggested I get an electrician to make sure power was getting to the water heater. Recommended an electrician who showed up within an hour. It turned out one of the circuit breakers needed to be replaced, but that didn't solve the problem of no hot water. So they came back and drained water heater and replaced lower element. There was a lot of water on the floor because the worker did not have a hose coupling that fit the water heater, but the worker mopped it up. They used an element that was already in the basement to save us some money. The worker forgot to reconnect electricity though, and I had to get an electrician back here to recheck and reconnect. We have hot water.

Description of Work: We had 2 frozen pipes. We called on a Sunday. They talked us through the thawing process and called back to check how we were doing. Because the pipes had not split, no work was needed. We have used Zachow for work before and have no complaints. They are excellent to deal with.
