49er Plumbing & Drain

Char H.

Every plumber in the area said it would be 3-5 days before they could respond to an issue that we needed addressed as soon as possible. 49er said they would put us on the ""standby"" list. We got a call from Derek in the early afternoon that same day saying that he could be at our home in 25 minutes. He was very friendly, calmed our concerns, fixed the two plumbing problems, charge was reasonable. Highly recommend as 49er put forth exceptional effort to respond in spite of their busy schedule.

Called because we haven't had hot water due to a pilot issue for 3 days. The response was a condescending chuckle and ""we can't get there for a week"".

It's not your potential customers fault that their water heater isn't working and having an elitist ""sorry, not sorry"" response isn't not only unprofessional but makes sure we won't do business with you. Not that I get a sense you care.

Had the best plumbing experience to date.
Called the office in the morning explaining my navien on demand water issue and the not so happy wife . I was told that no promises could be made but will do their best. By 1pm a Derek called confirming he is coming. Water heater was fixes and wife is happy so I'm safe to go home tonight. ""Jk she is always kind"". recommended a few other things to do in keeping my propane line efficient. Want to thank Derek for taking the time to come up on short notice and educating us on the unit. Clean work on time and well informed could not ask for more from a business. Keep up the good work.

Our 8 year old Navien system had been throwing a ignition failure code for the last 6 months. We had another company ($$$) come to find the problem, for the inconsistent firing issue for the last 6 months, to no resolution. Finally, we contacted Navien directly who suggested 49er. Jeff and Derek came out promptly, worked with Navien on the phone to get parts warrantied approved, had them in stock (the heat exchanger was a biggee), installed the parts and tested. I can't believe how wonderful it is to have hot water on demand again without issue. We are happy customers and will certainly use their good service in future if the need arises.

My Rennai water heater ran cold after several minutes. It was not consistent throughout all the faucets in our home. Jeff scheduled me very quickly and due to one of his techs being sick, he came out and handled the problem himself. He was very professional. We purchased the home with this system installed and I was not familiar with this type of water heating system. He answered all of my questions so I could learn about my system...
Pricing was fair and he made sure everything worked as expected. No mess left behind.

Let me start by saying 5 star service for Derek, who did a great job and had wonderful people skills. 1 star to Jeff for being rude. Jeff came out to bid the job and the total came out to more than double. When I called for clarification he was rude and it became a game of he said she said. Clearly there was a miscommunication, but he blamed me for everything and called me disgruntled. It was completely unnecessary and I never lost my calm. I had already paid in full and didn't call asking for money back. I have additional plumbing needs that I was wanting to hire them for because I really liked Derek and appreciated the quality of his work, but no thanks. I don't write review unless it's raving or bad enough others should know.

Edit response: Jeff I am happy with the quality of the work performed and fine with the overall cost of the project. I am upset with how rude you were to me on the phone. I was curious as to how we got from what you quoted to what the final bill was when I called. It's inaccurate to say the parts alone we're more than the original quote, as quote was $500 and parts ended up at $308. If adding the second line doubled the quote the additional tasks of tightening a bolt and looking at at bolts that were stripped cost almost an hour time. Fine. But instead of blaming me for ""not remembering "" perhaps consider asking your clients why they are running the water line in the first place. I think if you knew I intended to install a sink and a dish washer you would question why does she only want a cold line? But anyways, if even if you think I'm in the wrong a little kindness on the phone would have gone a long way. Adding 1 star bc the rest was a great experience.

I had a stopped up sink. I called 4 plumbers before I connected with 49er. Although I was out of their service area the owner said he had a tech fairly nearby & could get to me that afternoon. The tech, Joel, called that afternoon & said he was about 5 minutes away. The problem was a bit more complicated than just a ""snake"" job. Joel figured it out & got the job done effectively & efficiently. He couldn't have been more professional. Kudos to 49er & Joel. It's difficult to find services like this nowadays. When you do it should be commended.

We were having issues with fluctuating water pressure for a couple months so I called 49er. They were able to come by the next day and resolve the issue in just over an hour for a totally reasonable price. I'd definitely recommend them.

Joel came out right on schedule to put in new hot/cold valves for our washing machine. He had to cut out some sheet rock but did the work efficiently and cleaned everything up afterwards. He is very friendly and professional. I would highly recommend Joel and 49er Plumbing for any of your plumbing needs.
