This was a terrible experience. I even called Suburban Plumbing because of the good reviews on Angie's List. The plumber first showed up without any tools. When he came back he stated that he would need to get a part, however he didn't look to see what part he actually needed. He came back a 2 days later and didn't work on anything. He stated that he'd come back sometime next week. On Monday I called and he set an appointment time for the following day (Tuesday) at 9:00. No show. I called him at 9:40 and he said he'd have to push us back because he had other plumbing emergencies. He was very difficult to get a hold of and there was no way of leaving a message on the numerous times I tried to get ahold of him. I finally told him that we were going to contact another plumber. He apologized. I haven't paid a dime to him, and don't plan on it.
Description of Work: Contacted the provider to fix a shower that wasn't working properly. In the end, he didn't do anything except he kept putting us off.

After approximately 20 minutes of searching for the leak, they did not find one.
Description of Work: Called and informed my wife that he was having trouble getting up our snow covered hill. And that he would return to the office and get his four wheel drive vehicle. When they showed up they immediately began looking for the leak underneath our sink. Continued to search and ask us questions about the leak for several minutes. But still could not find a leak. Informed us if it started to leak again, to call them back and they would return. Did not charge us for the service call and would not take a cash tip. Will definitely call them back or refer them to others. Also for us, they are located pretty close to us.

They were on-time, extremely polite, extremely efficient, very reasonably priced, and did a good job for us. We are glad to find someone we could call when things are not going so well.
Description of Work: We had a paper plug that was stopping up everything and Suburban Plumbing took care of it.

The work went well. He couldn't make it to the first agreed upon time. He was late to the second agreed upon time, but my wife and I were ok with this, especially after the good work. We would hire suburban again.
Description of Work: A copper drain pipe failed in our upstairs bathroom, leading to water damage in our ceiling. Suburban came and fixed it over a two day period, working about 3 hours or so. He replaced the deteriorated copper drain pipe from a sink and tub with PVC. I I had removed all of the waterdamaged drywall, etc., so that they wouldn't have to do this (or charge for it either).

I just liked the young man that came and did the work. I actually recommended him to my neighbors because they were having the same problems. He does a great job.
Description of Work: They had to make my shut off valve accessible, and he also replaced the faucet in my kitchen, and put ply wood underneath the kitchen shelf.

early in the morning i discovered that i had NO water; so after checking around i found what seemed like a huge leak under my house (in the crawl space) and already leaking into my basement...after shutting off the water i called around and checked angie's list for a GOOD company to come out to make repairs......i called suburban plumbing and heating and was told they would be here within the hour...and they were! the young man, david, came in and went straight into the crawl space, found the leak, had to go get right material to repair the line (i have a very old house),returned and went right to work to making the repair. david was very polite, professional, and knowledgeable. he explained what the problem was, what he needed to do to fix it, and got it done right away...when i received the bill i was even more surprised...it was a lot less than i had expected....will definitely call them again if i need more work done and recommend them to everyone i know.
Description of Work: repaired broke water main in crawl space of our house.
