Company telephoned to move appointment up from afternoon to late morning, which was very considerate. Karl arrived promptly and was most courteous and professional. He worked diligently to clear the root blockage. Work was performed in a professional manner and the process explained along the way, which was helpful.
Description of Work: Sewer backup requiring immediate assistance. Tree roots were blocking sewer flow and basement was flooded with dirty backup water. Plumbing fixtures discharging water including sinks and toilets could not be used until blockage was cleared.

Tim Bykowski (Estimator) arrived at my house for the estimate on Thursday, July 28, 2016 at 5:30PM. I was pleased that he showed up on-time since I left work early for the estimate. Tim asked me to write down my email address because he would be emailing me the quote. I did not receive a quote the following week so I sent an email to Tim on Friday, August 5, 2016 to inquire about the quote. He never responded. This was a complete waste of my time.

Jeff came in a timely manner and seemed to have fixed the problems. Later in the afternoon I noticed there was still a problem in the downstairs bathroom. I phoned the company and the woman who answered the phone said she would talk to the plumber the next morning, and he would talk to the boss boss; they would decide what to do and I would get a call back. I never got a call back, so had to seek a solution elsewhere.

A complete mis-diagnose of the problem. The work he did didn't resolve the problem of water in the sub-basement and his guess as to why we had water was completely wrong. Fortunately we didn't let him destroy our basement floor. We had to call another plumbing company that found the real source of blockage and resolved it without replacing. We asked for a partial refund from Wagner since they didn't fix the problem and guessed wrong about the source of the problem. No refund was given. Don't use this company!
Description of Work: They were called because we had water in our sub-basement. They snaked the lateral (pipe from basement that connects to sewer). The man stated that the problem was the trap in the lateral near where it leaves the house toward the sewer, and the trap needed to be removed and replaced with a pipe. He also stated that the sub-basement floor drain needed replacing. Both of these would require breaking up the basement floor, digging down and a huge expense and mess. Expected cost of several thousand dollars. He was asked to camera the lateral to be sure what the problem was, but he didn't.

These folks are awesome! When you have an emergency you really are at the mercy of the service provider who shows up at your door. We consider ourselves very lucky to have been helped by Gene Wagner plumbing. Within a few minutes of our after-hours call, we were given the details of who would be coming out and when we could expect him to arrive. He arrived right on time, and fixed the problem quickly--we only needed to replace one part, rather than the entire water heater. He also gave us some helpful advice and info. News flash: calling any plumber for after-hours work is not the cheapest thing you will do in any given week. But the charges for their services were very reasonable, especially since they could have just told us we needed to replace the entire heater $$ and we wouldn't have known any better. We really appreciated the honesty. We will be replacing it in the next year or so, and they have won our business. It will be nice to do it under less stressful circumstances though! They also helped us with some work the next day unrelated to the water heater. Once again, the response was great, the plumber quickly resolved the issue and gave us some helpful advice, and the pricing was very fair given the quality and timeliness of service.
Description of Work: Assessed source of leak in water heater; repaired it; most important, they answered the phone for an emergency call and showed up very quickly.

Fantastic work and service! The plumber (Dave Rotger) was knowledgeable and totally professional. He kept me informed of his progress throughout the process. As it required coming back a second day, he was here first thing the next day. We've used several different plumbers over the years but I believe we have found a "keeper"! We would recommend Gene Wagner Plumbing without any reservations!

Went very quick, and much cheaper than expected. The kitchen sink only needed minimal components replaced, including the faucet which we already had a ready to install faucet in a box at the house - and only a couple other needed components were replaced. Did not have to fix nor replace the piping underneath think sink nor going down into the basement. The downstairs water basin did not have to have any major maintenance to it as was expected, turns out that they just had to get in and unclog what was clogged so that the hot water worked down in the basement into the sink basin
