Athens Plumbing & Heating

Michele W.

Originally was great, came out to the house and didn't think the problem was very serious and said he could get to it the next week. Within a day toilet paper was backing up into the street (clearly the problem was serious) but at the point his voicemail box was full, and he was not answering his phone or email. Finally got him to do that work which was very expensive but that was ok. Got the bill on a friday and the same day started getting hounded for payment. Told him we would pay net 30 with our other bills. However continued to hound and harrass. Extremely unprofessional, extremely annoying and the best part is the invoice isn't even itemized. Just a description and a lump sum stating it combined materials and labor...

Unless you want to pay a lot and pay before the work is complete don't use this guy.

I highly recommend Chris. He's responsive, fast...and no-nonsense. Very skilled and sticks to his original bid. We've got confidence in a job well-done!

My toilets backed up at 8:30 tonight. Based on other reviews on here I called Athens up. Chris got over to my place within 30 minutes to fix my problem. What a great guy!

Called them on short notice for a kitchen sink blockage which I could not resolve with my 6ft snake.
John was there in about an hour and took care of it very professionally. I got him to fix a few other minor plumbing tasks as well and his prices were really reasonable. I highly recommend these guys.

Tried calling to set an appointment three times over one week. Left messages the first two times and the third time the voicemail box was full.

I found these guys on Yelp, and I am so glad. I called them today, and they came out the same day and replaced a toilet. They were both friendly and helpful. Gregg installed the toilet, checked my other sinks and heater, all for the price of the toilet installation. I never thought I would be writing a Yelp review because of my toilet, but these guys deserve a shout out. I highly recommend them.

These guys are GREAT!

I called Athens to solve a backed-up toilet based on the other Yelp! reviews. Chris took my call (no answering service), scheduled an appointment immediately (they had a cancellation), came out and had it done in about 10 minutes of arriving and one hour after I called!

Because I had already paid the service call minimum, Gregg asked if he could look at the furnace for me (no extra charge) given the upcoming heating season. He took a quick look, verified all was fine, but suggested that the filter needed replacement. I showed him that I had an inventory of the replacement filters (my husband just had not had time), so he replaced it for me while he was there.

Chris and Gregg are customer oriented service people. Give them an opportunity to help you.

Chris at Athens is F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C. The house we live in has abominable sewage issues and often has issues. Chris is highly responsive, dedicated, very fair, and communicates the issue and the solution in great detail and gets the job done. I trust him to the point that I have no problems leaving our house key for him when I am not at home. I would recommend him to anyone.

This is my first time to use Athen's service. I needed to replace a leaking pressure reducer on the water line. Chris came and did a very good job. I will definitely use them again.

After calling a couple other plumbing companies from referrals, we decided to call Athen's Plumbing due to Yelp. A couple of the other companies were going to charge us a significant amount JUST to come out for an estimate. We talked to Chris from Athen's on the phone and he said either he or Greg was going to check out the problem and just charge us to fix it, no estimate fees at all!

Greg ended up coming to our place and checked out the situation. The master tub was leaking into the room directly below. He told us the possible causes and checked the cheapest, easiest one first. And that was the problem. Our worry was that the P trap or another part of the drain was leaking and we would have to replace the whole drainage system. Luckily, it was just a poor seal around the overflow drain done by the previous owner and the tub spout was too short and pouring right into it. All in all, Greg did a great job and saved us a ton of money that other places would've undoubtedly charged us too much for. He explained everything thoroughly and gave us a wonderful price.

If we have any other plumbing or heating issues, we'll definitely be calling Athen's!
