These people are terrific. We came home today at 3:15 and were told by workers at the home that they had sliced through a water line, and our home water was off. Their boss had been calling many other plumbers in the area, but nobody was willing to come out on short notice. We called Chick's, who we had used before, and they were at our house immediately.

They saved us from checking into a motel for the evening, as we wern't ready to spend the night without water, toilets, etc. To top it off, their bill was very reasonable.

Chicks Plumbing is under new ownership and the quality has gone done significantly. We just had a water heater installed, by the new owner, for $1500- but to bring it ""up to code"" it would have been another $600. We couldn't afford the extra, so opted to sign off that we would bring it ""up to code"" at a later date. The same day we found out that another Plummer would have been only $1500 including ""bringing it up to code"".
During the install I asked what ""bringing up to code"" entailed for $600. He said #1 a pan an under the unit #2something else maybe a valve- I can't remember #3 was installation of extra copper piping, which was ""a majority of the cost"". I said can we just put the pan or cheaper items in and he said- your husband didn't want to pay for it so I didn't bring it and don't have it in my truck!
I asked if he would place it under the unit, if I went to Home Depot to purchase a pan. He said, ""absolutely happy to...but you won't need it"". I just felt better so I went to get the pan and he was nice enough to put it under the unit free of charge. THANK GOODNESS I got it, because the water heater began leaking into the pan and from the pan onto our garage floor. I'm really disappointed because when he returned to fix it, he said ""I always install a pan- you didn't want to pay for it"" and he asked if I wanted to see where I signed off that we opted out of ""bringing it up to code"". Shame on him- he knows what happened!
He fixed the leak today, apparently a faulty part. But I still have a bad feeling about it. If I hadn't gone to the store our wooden box under the water heater could have been saturated with water and possibly worse water damage- such a bummer. In the end there was an insincere apology, I won't be calling them again!

Very pleased with the service and staff! Called the office and they sent out Clay within 20 minutes for a leaky pipe in one of our bathrooms. He replaced the part at an affordable price and seemed very professional and knowledgeable. Friendly guy :) Will be using them for any future plumbing problems!

Nothing drawn out to say...just this... they went out of their way, late on a Friday, to make sure I had the correct part.. When a business goes the extra .. to me that is a business to frequent.

Beware. They don't stand behind their work. Also unscrupulous. Told me I needed a $750 new valve on shower wall when a $165 cartridge fixed it. Brett told me I didn't ask for it. I told him I'm not a plumber and did not know.that was a possibility. He never told me it was an option. Also snaked the tub which did have roots and some water ran very slowly down drain when he left. 1 week later when shower was used it would NOT drain at all. They refused to make the $142 that I paid him good. As I said. Beware.

If I could give them a lower rating I would. I had my house snaked and then it flooded again, the original plumber said it needed to be jetted. When I called Chicks they said it was a bad snake and they would fix it. Their snake cost three times what the original plumber charged. One week later its flooding again. They will come out for 650 again to snake it or 3500 to jet it. They are dishonest as they come, and the owner is beyond rude. If they have a positive review they wrote it!

Called the for my Nortiz. Unable to diagnose it, yet charged me for a visit. Called another plumber and they diagnosed over the phone and fixed in within a half hour. Chick's shouldn't accept jobs for something they know nothing about!

I am giving Chick's Plumbing the 5 star review that i believe they deserve. We had an issue with our kitchen disposal that would leak water when the new dishwasher was on. Very frustrating. Chick's plumbing was diligent in figuring out the problem. It took a while but the owner himself took time to make sure the problem was solved. In this day, it is refreshing to know that an owner operated business truly cares and exhibits their work ethic with integrity, professionalism and quality. Thank you Chick's Plumbing!

Very quick turnaround for adding a new shut-off valve to my home. They came out within an hour of my initial call. The work was done in a short time and it was done well.

I would recommend them.
