Dunbar's Plumbing & Repair Service

Peitience M.

I woke up to a burst pipe and called at least a dozen plumbers. I got in touch with Mr. Dunbar, he gave me a two hour window and arrived on time. He quickly found the problem, gave me a price and repaired the pipe all in about 30 minutes. He and his associate were courteous, did a great job and told me what to do in the future. I'll definitely contact him for future work.

I rarely leave negative reviews but this one had me really upset. I called Dunbar when In discovered a leak in my house. To my surprise and delight they could send someone there in the next few hours. I left work early, hurried home, and was there 30mins before the scheduled 4-5pm window to tidy up a bit. During cleaning Dunbar called to say they were en route and about 2 min later they called to say they were there but I missed the calls (as my phone was on silent from work) but I do have a working doorbell. I called them about 15 mins after they called me and no answer, I waited and waited. Called, texted and said I was home and no one knocked or rang the doorbell. No response, no call back, nothing! We have a ""smart doorbell"" and I reviewed the video footage and you see a guy walk up to the door, doesn't knock, doesn't ring the doorbell, puts something on the door and leaves. I opened the door and it was a business card. Seriously? I called and/or texted at least 15 times and no response. Pretty rude. At least say I'm not coming-- I was still within the 4-5pm window. And honestly, leaving your business card? I would never call or recommend your business to anyone. You can't even return a call? No way. Hired Clear Water Plumbing instead and so far so good.

Dunbar's, Mr. Dunbar replaced a toilet flange and shut-off connection for my bathroom toilet. He responded to my call within thirty minutes and was at my father's home within the hour time frame.

Mr. Dunbar called me upon arriving and assessed the problem and provided photos from start to finish.His price was fair and I was pleased with his work and professionalism. He also travels throughout the the city.

I have found my plumber!

On a scale from 1-10, I give Dunbar Plumbing a 10+!

I hired Dunbar's to install a new water heater. They did a good job. A year later, I was smelling sewer gas and called Dunbar. They came over within an hour, told me the only problem was that I needed to clean out my catch-basin. They said they could do it for me for $300 or he could show me how to do it myself. I also had him look at my shower drain, which was clogged. He instructed me how to clean this out as well. I tried to pay them for their time, but they refused. I guess I'll be calling Dunbar the next time I need plumbing work done.

Called Dunbar on Sunday and said they would arrive at my building between 8:30 and 9 Monday. Was outside shoveling during that time period and he said he called 3 times. Never had a missed phoned call never saw his van. Called him 30 minutes after the scheduled window and told me he would have someone there in next 30 minutes and no one arrived or called.

Well on the 3rd coldest day this year, we found ourselves in need of emergency plumbing services. They answered the phone immediately, made it to my home within half hour, and had the job done in under an hour. All the while my twin toddlers were upstairs sleeping and no clue that there was a busted pipe behind the fridge and water spewing all over the kitchen! Kids woke up from their nap and were able to have lunch and resume their terrozing the house as usual. Mr Dunbar said he would send someone back to patch the hole behind the fridge. Even if that doesn't happen my review won't change. I was pleased, would use this company again, and also recommend to family/friends!

I'm very happy with them after my first experience today! They arrived when they said they would, which was about 90 minutes after I called. They diagnosed and fixed the toilet problem quickly. Angelo and Dwayne were awesome: knowledgeable, careful, neat, respectful, pleasant. Couldn't ask for more. Thanks, guys!

When my husband left on a 3 week business trip, I jokingly said I hope nothing breaks while you're gone. Five days later the sump pump goes out ...after asking if anyone I know can recommend a plumber...I hopped on yelp and found Dunbar Plumbing...I called them Monday at 7:30, my sumo pump was installed and I was back in business by 10:45!! Mr. Dunbar explained what I needed, sent pictures, and even offered to send me an estimate for replacing my water heater...I am beyond happy!!! I will recommend them to anybody who asks!! THANK YOU SO MUCH for getting us up and running so quickly!!!

Dunbar's is great! Happy to find a great, reliable southside plumber. I called them this morning around 9am, and Angelo Dunbar himself came out within an hour. We had a leak from our tub that was causing water to drip into the ceiling of the room below. Angelo gave me an estimate, then ran out for parts. He returned only 3 hours later, ready to fix it! Turned out to be a bad gasket seal on the overflow valve, which he replaced easily. He also tightened up the nuts around the base of our drain, keeping it from draining while my kids are in the tub. To top it off, he and his assistant cleaned up the drywall mess they had to cut through to fix the problem. Excellent service! Everything taken care of the day I called! Thanks, Angelo!

Excellent service on Hyde Park, where it is often hard to get trades people to accept jobs. Fixed leaking sinks in bathroom and kitchen. I am out of town and have a tenant. He called them ASAP and showed up promptly. Texted me pictures of the work in progress with estimate. Quality work. Fair price. Courteous and polite. Will definitely use again if needed. A gem.
