Recommended Customer Reviews

Once again, the guys at Earl W Fite do not disappoint. These are my go to plumbers every time. This time they serviced my home and got me up to date ....I had original valves in each bath, a tankless water heater that needed attention and leaky faucets....they are efficient, knowledgeable and friendly. Todd, Eddy and Mike C. you are the best!

He hasn't even come yet to fix my clogged kitchen sink, but I needed to review his outstanding customer service.
It's my husband's birthday tomorrow, and of course, the kitchen sink clogs. For $125 bucks for it to be fixed before I even come home from work today is something unheard of.
If their customer service is anything like their workmanship, I will be using Earl Fite for all my Cast Iron Pipe woes.

Todd and other employees showed up promptly during this COVID-pandemic with masks and a friendly/helpful demeanor. We should have called them sooner instead of trying to fix the plumbing issue ourselves first! We have actually used Earl Fite for years because they always come promptly, get the problem fixed right away, and communicate well. I will continue to use Earl Fite for all of our plumbing issues in the future. We've used them for clogged sinks, toilets, and even loosening up tree roots in pipes!

Can't say enough about the great customer service Todd has provided for me. He cares about the work that is done and makes sure it gets done right. Great company for work with and would recommend! They've done a great job on my water heater and various other plumbing issues that my condo keeps coming up with.

Huge thanks to Todd Fite and Mike for their quick response to our condo complex's underground garage's water leak on Mother's Day. Todd responded immediately to my call and Mike was on site within the hour. Mike took the time to thoroughly diagnose the problem and went to work making the necessary repairs. He even found another problem and took care of it as well. Mike is an excellent plumber and uses his years of experience to ensure our plumbing problems are always fixed 100%. We will continue to use Earl Fite & Sons Plumbing for all our plumbing needs.

We had a gas leak under our range in the kitchen. I called at around 11 and they said they could be out the same day, with a very convenient window of time. They called me to let me know as the time got closer that they would be coming. Mike showed up, diagnosed the problem, explained everything he was doing, and repaired the leak quickly. He was very nice and obviously has many many years of experience. I would highly recommend! We will definitely use them for any plumbing services from now on.

My plumber was booked solid so referred me to Todd at Earl Fite plumbing for an emergency water leak. I was extremely impressed with Todd and Mike at Earl Fite. Not only did they move their schedule to help me out with my emergency, they were extremely honest and professional and did great work. I will definitely be using Earl Fite plumbing again in the future and will be referring them to all my family and friends.

3 years after my first review of Earl W Fite & Sons, and about 30 years of being faithful to them, and I'm still standing 100% behind these guys. They are cheerful, prompt, and on top of taking care of your emergency and non-emergency plumbing needs. We've had to call them out 3 times for separate issues in the 4 years we've owned our current home and they're literally so fast WE ask THEM to give us more time to get home to make an on the spot appointment.
High quality work and high quality customer service. Can't beat them.

Try someone else! If you are a landlord needing a plumber for a tenant, or a tenant needing a plumber, this is NOT who you want to call. I was scammed. My tenant complained of a slow drain, and after researching online, I had thought I had made a good choice in referring my tenant to this company. When Earl Fite plumbing was done visiting my condominium, they left my tenant with a bill for $270.00, having accomplished nothing. The clog remained. The plumber was described as elderly, overweight, and incredibly slow when making trips to and from his vehicle. He began with a manual plumber's snake, then went back to his vehicle to retrieve a motorized snake, all the while moving as slowly as a tortoise. More time was spent moving to and from his vehicle and residence than was spent working on the actual problem. And he didn't accomplish a thing. He did not clear the clogged drain.
I was baffled that my tenant accepted a bill for $270.00 with nothing accomplished. I called Fite Plumbing and spoke with Todd, twice. After Todd had checked with the ""experienced professional"" who had made the visit, he claimed they were not able to snake the line because the snake was prevented from moving downward because of an incorrectly installed ""San-Tee"" pipe (Sanitary pipe). He claimed this pipe (inside the wall) had been installed upside down. During our conversation, Todd made a point of saying he would not try to ""up-sell"" a job. I found it odd that he would use that term, ""up-sell."" I had never heard a plumber say that. It occurred to me that he wouldn't loosely utter such a term unless it was a part of his everyday business culture. I asked Todd how an experienced professional could charge two hours' worth of labor to figure out his plumber's snake wasn't going anywhere. He changed the subject. Todd suggested I have my Homeowners Association take responsibility for correcting the problem. He said they could run a camera into the plumbing to identify the bad pipe. He also said they would need to go into the walls from the outside to access the supposedly incorrectly installed pipe in order to replace it (which would cost hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars). He worked very hard at sounding professional and convincing me to contact my Homeowners Association, or instead pay him another $400 to $500 to try to access the clogged pipe from the roof of my three-story condominium complex. I felt I had no choice but to consult my condo association.
Anyone who has ever dealt with a Homeowner's Association fixing a problem knows it can be a nightmare. However, being as I am miles and miles away from my property and unable to do anything myself, I had no other choice but to put this in the Association's lap. I was concerned for my tenant having to deal with the clogged drain. Then after weeks of coaxing, my Homeowner's Association had their plumber take a look. It turns out that Fite Plumbing's story of a bad pipe was a complete fabrication.
My Homeowners Association plumber visited my condo and was able to clear the clogged drain in less than 30 minutes. Furthermore, he found no anomalies in the piping. There was nothing wrong with the pipes as Fite Plumbing had tried to convince me. The Association plumber had no problem whatsoever in running a snake down the line to clear it. Yes, Earl Fite & Sons Plumbing is guilty of the ""up-sell."" It's amazing, the wanton audacity to make such blatant false claims in order to collect $270.00 for doing nothing, with further hopes of procuring a bigger ticket ""job"" of replacing a fictitious problematic pipe that doesn't exist.
I will never do business with this company again. Be warned. All my time and effort with Fite & Son's Plumbing only led to another honest plumber doing the job in less than half the time. It turns out the clog was in a common line at the condo complex, easily reachable by a competent plumber. I strongly recommend against doing business with Earl Fite & Son's Plumbing.

I was very impressed with this company! My husband was laid up from major surgery and we had a clogged drain. We called our insurance company and they sent out a plumber that said the clog could not be cleared except by hydro jetting and that they could not come back for 2 days. So I thumbed through the yellow pages (yes, I still use them) and called Earl W. Fite and sons plumbing. I spoke with Todd and he suggested that they come out and check it out before they try hydro jetting.
Not only were they able to come out the same day I called, but Todd and Edgar were able to clear the black sludge clog in about 30 minutes. From start to finish the team was here for approximately 45 minutes and left my home just the way the found it (except for the fixed drain of course).
I also found their price to be very fair and comparable to the company I had the day before.
I am very happy with the job and professionalism this family owned company performed at our home. I would highly recommend this company and will be using this company again!
