We had a tricky situation at our house , kitchen drain backing up. Babes sent out two technicians on a Saturday morning, and they did not give up until they located the problem. They used a rooftop snake and a camera , and found the blockage. The Manager Chuck, also called me to go over everything before they arrived. Very satisfied.

Brian was our plumber for an issue in each of our two bathrooms. He was very thorough in assessing the issues and educating us on the repairs. We are pleased with the repairs and efficiency that Brian displayed. A very nice person to work with. Thank you, Brian!

I had Babe's plumbing replace a water heater exactly like the one they installed 4 years 8 months ago. It was under warranty from Rheem. No charge for the tank. It involved cutting 2 plastic 1inch and reinstalling a 1 inch drain pipe and a relief valve on top. They will not itemize the bill. For this at the top $150 . They charged me $746.

Thanks to Todd M's review, I called Flo-Tech after my horrible experience with Babe's too (see Google review for all the details) and was thoroughly pleased with their service. Good communications with the office, the plumbers arrived at the appointed time, had all the parts they needed on their truck, and got all the work done to install new plumbing fixtures, valves, and lines and completely clear the plumbing backup in all lines, at 1/3 Babe's cost.

Had sewer back up and Babe's was on site in 30 minutes. Excellent service and cleared blockage in 20 minutes.

Plumber arrived on time and performed a flush and ignition rod cleaning on my 3 year old tankless water heater. Price was $234. Worked ok for 10 days then on Saturday afternoon no hot water. On Sunday I called Babes and got on call plumber Mike. He could not come out with a hefty service call and suggested I call early on Monday. I agreed and asked if he might have any tips I could try. He did, so I tried that andthe unit began to heat water. I called him back to thank him. I also called the office this week and they saw no need to send out a plumber without charging for a service call. I declined So maybe we won't have a further issue. Mostly positive review you decide.

Babe's fixed a leak coming from my water meter line. They did exactly what they said.

""""Good work isn't cheap , and cheap work isn't good."""" That's some saying they cane up with . Hope you don't need their services on a weekend as their high priced services get even more astronomical . A simple fix like shaking out a clogged drain could run you in the 500 smackers vicinity . There's the old joke where a doctor calls a plumber for a fix at his house . Afterwards the plumber hands the doctor the bill - the doctor looks at it amazed . """"Hey! That's a lot of money - and I'm a doctor !"""" He says . """"I know, """" says the plumber - """"I used to be a doctor ."""" Hahaha. How do you tell a good plumber ?? By the size of his boat . With their prices , these guys must all have some mighty big boats .

On time and did a amazing job. We have a drain that we had been told was just old and would never drain correctly by other plumbers, after having it snaked. It was so bad I decided to have someone else look at it. Called Babes, very professional in the phone and got us an appointment right away. They had my drain running like new in less than 15 minutes. Definitely will be the plumbers we call and tell our friends to use!
