Called this plumber because they supposedly had good prices. I needed the cartridge replaced in my shower. They were unable to fix it because they said the parts were outdated and they would have to go in and replace the entire thing for $875!!!!!! They also caused a water leak and left the water running because they said it would cost an additional $125 for them to fix a problem they caused!!!! My water was running for 12 days because that's how long it took for my dad to come over and fix the problem. My dad replaced and fixed the cartridge for $70 and come to find out my dad found the spring in my bathtub that they let fall out that caused the leak. I was also charged $79 for them to come to my house to let me know they couldn't fix the problem on top of them causing a problem that they wanted me to pay to fix. I can only imagine what my water bill is going to be. Very bad service!!!

So I did a bathroom remodel and needed a sink waste line moved for the new vanity. They sent a guy over who didn't even know how to use the water manifold in the garage. Damn that's a scary thought with him being a plumber.
Then he measures wrong and they have to come back out to cut back into my wall to do it a second time. Did they do this quickly? NO. I notified them Monday and they are just now here on Friday doing it. They were supposed to come yesterday, but the woman called at 9 am Thursday and said the plumber had another job and of course I had to wait. Correcting their error was not their priority.

So They are here now and immediately, before trying to correct their mistakes, they try to sell me more plumbing work. REALLY!!!! You screwed up the first job and blew me off for a week in correcting it, but you want to try and bleed me for more money. This has got to be a joke. I will make sure everyone knows not to use them.

Horrible. Called for an emergency plumbing on behalf of my parents whose hands were literally holding the pipe together with their hands. That's all I did...was call them. Parent's did the rest as it was their house, their pipes, and their signature for being liable for service. Instead of trying to go after them, they're going after me. However my signature is not on anything. Just made the phone call. I've asked them many times to bill and contact my parents however they've not received any contact from them. Now they're trying to pursue legal action. Ha! Again not my signature.
We even had to call another plumber out to fit their poor job. ha!

We had a pipe leak above our water heater and Truman came out to help on the same day service was requested. He was extremely professional and top notch. I would highly recommend their services and will be using again if need be! Thanks again!

Top Notch service all around. Larry said they would be here at 9 am and they were here at 9 am and did the job I needed in less than an hour. Honest, reliable, and excellent work. Not trying to gouge your eyes out. This calls for more service and recommendations to others bringing more business to them. AAAA++++++ all the way. Highly recommend.

Poor job on simple task. They were called out 3 months ago and noted on the invoice they adjusted the water pressure to 70 psi. When another plumber was called out for a separate issue the pressure was measured at 85 psi, so I called them to correct the supposed work they had done. Their own invoice says 80 psi is a code violation.
They told me it would be 79.00 just for the call out even though it was to correct their own shoddy work. Then rambled in about how it could be anything... but not them and we probably had a bad meter. Unfortunately when they came out the first time they left their meter attached to the faucet and wouldn't you know it... we double checked with that one... and the second one they left. That's right... two meters hanging off the side of my house. That's the thing about abandoned property... free to use while on my property. All three meters read 85 from 3 different locations yet the invoice said it was adjusted to 70.
I wanted to return the meters when they came to fix the work but apparently I have to pay for them to come do the job they said they did.
Will never use this company. Nothing like paying for something that's not actually being done.
The original work was almost 900.00 and they don't want to bother to send someone to make it right.
I guess their work has to be double checked the next day since the labor warranty is only 30 days... and how would you know if it's done right unless you are a plumber. Not worth the risk with this business

Be aware Elbel Plumbing is now charging $149/hr for just one worker. They came out to our house for the reconstruction contractor after a lightning strike, and numerous times thereafter to continue on after we let the reconstruction contractor go. All previous times they charged $120/hr for two workers. This Monday, Feb.5th one worker was sent out and they charged $149/hr. When I spoke to supervisor he said "Oh we do not charge for the helper". So they have raised their prices just less than 25% and send out one worker to get around double the hours to charge.

This Company is a Rip-off!!!! Didn't show on first appointment, put heavy duty Drano down my tub drain and charged extra time and labor that was not performed. 15 min. visit. Outrageous charge for something I could have done myself!!!!!

Highly recommend!!!

Called this plumber today after the plumber my home warranty sent over tried to cheat me out of "up to $1600" to snake a clogged line after 2 days waiting on them. Elbel's team showed up, quickly got to work and solved my entire issue in the same amount of time the other guys sat around trying to upsell me on junk.

Elbel's team was sharp, fast and very kind. Solved my problem quickly and for a very reasonable rate. I highly recommend this team!
