Michael W.

Mike and his team came and replaced a broken water heater the next day! The charged what they quoted. They were friendly and on time. Our new tankless water heater works great! I will use them for future plumbing needs

Thes guys are so proficient and professional. Quick, efficient, communicative, and courteous. Their work was clean, timely done and with a level of professionalism that is top tier. They truly care about the service and products they sell. They were also willing to be as Lenient as possible with pricing. Full disclosure on what they needed to make on the job. Electronic efficiency with records and receipts. I would highly recommend this company. Mike was great!

Quality work with honesty is very hard to find these days ! These guys keep it together when it comes to doing the right thing and I always trust to use them for all my plumbing needs or refer them to my friends and family.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Mike and his team came to our rescue after being totally taken advantage of by another locally owned plumbing company when we had a leak in our garage. After spending $4,400 to have pipes replaced we were told there was a clog and it would cost an additional $1,800 to unclog, and potentially MORE if pipes (or whatever) needed to be replaced. On top of that, they were not able to complete the job, leaving us with no water for another day (with two small children). When we questioned the pricing and timing, we were yelled at and argued with. As a young family, we want to trust the experts and I started to doubt that I could trust another contract worker as I realized we had been taken advantage of...but then a friend referred us to Ability Plumbing! We explained our situation and they were so empathetic and thoughtful. They explained everything that they were going to do very clearly and concisely and were transparent with their pricing and potential costs (which by the way ended up being like 1000x less than our original work). They were here within 20 minutes and solved the issue within another 20 minutes! This was the sweetest surprise, I have so much confidence in Ability Plumbing, this is the absolute best company with amazing customer service (which means so much in unfamiliar situations)! If you have to call a plumber or know someone who does, please call and share Ability Plumbing with everyone you know...you will not be deceived, you will not go broke, and you will be happy to see the smiling and friendly faces greet you at the door! They were professional, friendly, honest, and efficient... I cannot thank them enough for helping us...I feel like we're friends now! They are our go to for all things plumbing from now on, and they truly should be yours as well! Do not let another plumbing company take advantage of you, trust the experts at Ability Plumbing!

Mike from ABILITY PLUMBING is the BEST!

Very responsive, punctual, knowledgeable, thorough and personable.

He was recommended to us, and we have called on him twice for plumbing issues, which he quickly resolved. I'm paying it forward with my sincere recommendation!

UNEXPECTED SUPRISE
It was time again to review my monthly water bill and pay it. To my shock it was 3 times the cost of the previous months. I walked the house to listen to see if I could find a leak causing the change in the water bill. Nothing was apparent

WHAT TO DO NEXT?
I called the water company and they looked on their digital readings and confirmed that there seemed to be a large leak somewhere according to the digital meter on their end. This kind of under ground leak is called a slab leak. My sister told me she knew someone that did not fix a slab leak for two years to avoid the cost fixing it and paid the higher cost monthly. This person ended up getting so sick two years later they ended up in the hospital with black mold poisoning. I was not going to let tht happen to me. I needed help to solve this.

SEARCH FOR A PLUMBER
I spent a few hours looking through reviews on Yelp. I did searches for ""reliable,"", ""honest"", ""reasonable"", ""fair"". I found a long list and started reading all of the reviews. I finally chose Ability Plumbing because of a story I read in there of how Mike the owner had helped an stranded old woman that needed a ride to the trolley and no one would help her and he helped her get giving her a ride to the trolley. This review was written by someone that did not have Ability Plumbing fix a plumbing issue but was impressed by the chivalry Mike offered. That tells me a lot about Mike and his character.that character flows up into the Ability Plumbing business owned by Mike..

PLUMBING WORK ESTIMATE
Mike came and reviewed the house and sent me an estimate. I had one other plumbing company send an estimate and it was ballpark same as Ability Plumbing. I did not expect a bargain basement estimate but feared it could be over $10,000 to fix. This was not the case thank goodness. Note, I was not looking for a bargain deal. Any plumber that offered a too good to be true price would in my view probably end up with leaks I would have to deal with down the line.

THE SLAB LEAK IS FIXED NOW, WORK DONE WAS EXCEPTIONAL
Mike and his team Chris, and Tim arrived on time there was also a representative from CPL (a leak detection company that works with Mike to help isolate the slab leak). The leak was not easy to find but they found it.
Some companies want to dig up the cement and go into the underground pipes. This is very expensive $10,000 plus. Progressive plumbers like Mike at Ability Plumbing replumb the piping with a new above ground (creatively hidden in existing drywall solutions). They do this by cutting minimal holes into the wall and running state of the art plastic piping through the walls. Mike and his team replumbed my complete cold water delivery system at the estimated rate he had quoted me on. Ability Plumbing worked fast and were professional and accurate and the holes they cut in the wall were as minimal to accomplish the cold water reroute which later resulted in minimal work for me to spackle and paint the holes post work.

ABOVE AND BEYOND.
Mike included in the estimate the cost to put in a water shut off valve at my garage entrance and a water pressure valve. This was unexpected and included in the bid that the other plumbing company did not, making the Ability Plumbing bid more reasonable. Chris one of the plumber assistants cut the holes needed in the drywall for the job square and when the plumbing rework was done he screwed the drywall back into the wall. I was so impressed by this and it was totally unexpected and made it easy so I was able to do the post spackle prep work myself to repaint the areas that needed to be cut into the drywall for the water reroute without having to pay a company to come in and do the post finish work for me. This is a big cost savings. I was able to spackle all of the holes cut out myself thanks to Chris's work done to put the drywall back and screw each piece in place (thank you Chris!). I also had a leaking faucet in the patio that Mike had Tim fix at no cost. Mike left the team in the morning to work the plumbing reroute work and came back later to inspect the work done. Mike was very was very thorough in his inspection and made sure that everything was done at a top notch quality level. All I can say is ""Wow!"" I am so happy with the work done and would definitely have Ability Plumbing do future jobs.

We had the unfortunate experience of having an underground pipe in our front yard spring a leak. After interviewing over 7 plumbers, we finally settled on Ability Plumbing for one specific reason--the integrity of the employees of this company. Mike and Long were not your typical 'salesman' who wanted to fix everything 'under the sun' even if unnecessary. They actually tried to save us money to get the job done and when it seemed like the 'quick and dirty' would not work, they suggested an alternative which still was more competitive than what others had quoted--even without assessing the job at hand. My husband and I witnessed these individuals working morning to night in order to ensure we had running water as soon as possible. We would highly recommend these individuals to anyone in need of a plumber. I now understand why we did not see a lot of hype or advertising from this company--they simply don't need it. Word of mouth is how they get their business and that is exactly how we found them. I now know why this works for them--they are super at their jobs and when they leave you feel like you have made a new friend. Leslie and Randy

This is not a Plumbing review, but rather a ""Mike"" review. What an amazing human being. I am, (coincidentally) also in the plumbing business and met Mike on the side of the FREEWAY when he stopped his big-ass plumbing truck to make sure everyone was ""ok"" after I was rear-ended. Mike called the cops, stayed until they arrived with his hazard lights on to keep us all safe. I am guessing that Mike is a wonderful plumber and for sure my HERO. Thank you Mike, I really truly appreciate you!! Jaimi
