John Solberg Plumbing

I would highly recommend him. His prices are reasonable. I've used his services several times. He's easy to talk to and answers my questions. He's also punctual and shows up when scheduled.

My sewage ejector pump(which I had been told was only a ground water sump pump) on my newly purchased (6 weeks) home had stopped working after a recent power outage. I called the home warranty people and after some runaround they sent a plumber (not Solberg). I was informed that I did not have a ground water sump pump, but a sewage ejector pump and all they could work on was the panel connected to the house. I was also informed that the panel was fine and the repairs would all be on me and was probably looking at 2-3k dollars. So I decided to call another plumber. When I called late in the day on Friday and he told me that he was not available until Monday. I texted Monday morning that I still needed someone and I received a text that he could be there within the hour. Just slightly over an hour later he shows and I give as much info as I can. He proceed to check the system in what seemed to me to be a very thoughtful, logical pattern. He discovered quickly that the pump was still good, which was a relief. He checked the floats and finally back to the panel again and discovered that a twenty dollar part was all that was needed. Good, honest, fair work for a reasonable price. I would definitely use this plumber again.

whatever the issue, it always goes well

Solberg used to be a premium plumbing company; fast, professional, reasonably priced. Not any more. Called to have a shower drain unstopped, and a toilet checked. I was not present at the time of the service and the worker was let in by my adult son. The cost was around $200 to unstop a drain and replace one rubber stopper in a toilet. Giving them the benefit of the doubt, thinking I might have had a difficult drain; I called to get an estimate to run a water line for a refrigerator ice maker. The guy that showed up was young, and swaggered around talking about how difficulty the job would be, and gave me an estimate of almost $400! I called another person and the job was done for $65, which included disconnecting a dishwasher that was going to be replaced. I see now $200 to unstop a drain was a pure rip off. What a shame! They used to be such a good company.
