Flowrite Plumbing

Flowrite Plumbing has been a real pleasure to work with. I had broken an old pipe in our backyard that required turning off the water to the entire backyard. They were able to come out sooner than originally scheduled which helped us tremendously. Jesse was the contractor that came out to the house. He was very friendly, thorough, knowledgeable and honest. He explained several different options to correct the problem and we went through the costs. He was able to fix the pipe and replaced the valve within a couple of hours. He cleaned the patio area when he was done and and made sure to put covers over his shoes when he entered our house. We were very happy with the work he performed and how nice and respectful he was. We highly recommend Flowrite Plumbing if your have any plumbing issues.

These people are scam artists. Needed some basic things done- toilet and sink replaced. The owner gave me one price range over the phone then the employee shows up trying to charge significantly more- hoping I was desperate I guess and that he had me trapped. Exactly the kind of people you don't want to do any kind of work on your home. To give you an idea of the pricing scheme they will try to use, they want anywhere from $800 to $2200 as the labor replace a toilet. (LOL!) I don't know who is paying them this, are they laundering money through this business or what? Ridiculous waste of time and completely dishonest. Look elsewhere for your plumbing needs.

If money is no object, then this plumbing company may be right for you.

Our house flooded due to a water line break in our kitchen and I am thankful that Flowrite was timely for the appointment afterward to take a look and to inform us about the water pressure regulator, which after more than 10 years was no longer functioning and caused the water line to break.

The owner of the company excused himself to calculate a quote to repair the broken water lines in the kitchen and replace the water pressure regulator. He returned with an iPad presentation with five options, ranging from $500 (referred to as a ""band aid"") to more than $1,600 (premium package). To say that we were shocked is putting it mildly.

When we asked why the work was so expensive we were told that overhead, including the ""$200,000 truck parked outside"" and the iPad on which the repair options were presented are part of the cost, in addition to his expertise, etc. When we asked about the cost of parts and the length of time required to complete the job, the owner told us that he doesn't work that way and that he wasn't comfortable completing the work for us because we weren't comfortable compensating him for his expertise. After a bit more discussion we decided that we would consider paying (significantly) more for the repairs than we had estimated if the work could be completed that day. When the owner checked on the water pressure regulator replacement, he didn't have it on his truck and said that he wouldn't be able to return with one for several days.

I'm more than thankful that the part wasn't on his truck because we picked up the regulator and replacement lines/parts at Home Depot for about $100 and we fixed everything ourselves with some help from a friend. If we had been experiencing an urgent plumbing emergency at the time, I'm sure we would have paid anything to have it fixed; thankfully, we didn't and saved a heck of a lot of money accordingly.

Fist of all, I live in Walnut Grove, it's not always easy to find services that will come here.
My story:
Doing small updates on home. Had handyman out and asked if he could fix drain in tub. Lever was stuck (open, thank god, had been for quite a while). He tried but said it was beyond him and to try a plumber. I went and bought new shower head arm, new faucet and surround, new overflow plate with drain stopper, and new tub drain cover.

That done here's my review.
Pros-
Returned call, professional, they did make a change of date, calendar to confirm new date, called to update arrival time. Arrived at time given, introduced himself, presented his card, put on paper booties.
Cons-
He told me it sounded as if I had some little jobs and he is not a handyman, he is a plumber and charges plumber prices. Gave me a quote of $350. + 150.00 for the drain & shower arm and spout and faucet. He's here, I said ""fix it all"". Wanted it done.
Well, I know it was difficult to get the shower handle off, but it was done, shower arm, easy. Drain cover he said couldn't do. Could cause larger problem. OK. Couldn't do tub spout either. Told me what to look for when I buy one. Didn't do tub drain either.
What I had bought evidently wasn't right.
I ended up paying $350.00. Think that's high.
Maybe I'm wrong, I went by reviews that said ""reasonable"".
I'll call another handyman.

Jesse was punctual and professional when he arrived. He explained things and our options very thoroughly. He checked and replaced our garbage disposal after he fixed our clogged drainage in the kitchen sink. Hope we got a discounted price for the garbage disposal like he offered. He also checked out our sinks and plumbing under neath in the other bathrooms.

Jim has been a close friend for years and because of his great work ethic pride in his work , pricing,and reliability, he's the only plumber I refer to my customers for major plumbing issues. I'm a handyman and do a lot of plumbing repairs but when it's over my head and he takes over the job is done with quality and quickness and my customers love him.

I had an emergency situation with our kitchen sink and could ""t seem to get an appointment in reasonable time until i came across Flowrite Plumbing. Their customer service was excellent and fixed our issue in no time. Jimmy is a true people person and commits to honest work. Would recommend to anyone looking for plumbing work in the local area!

Over the phone, ""yes, we have specialized equipment to find your leak."" Turns out the 'specialized equipment' was man going underneath the house. Then said, ""we need to call a leak detection company"" - I was told over the phone I had called they WERE a leak detection company. In the end, charged me $350, told me what I already knew (the leak is between my well and the house) and left saying ""let me know if you want us to call a lead detection specialist."" Do not use this company.

My name is Stanford Stephens. I am so glad to we were turned on to Flowrite.Plumbing. The times I have called for service I get to speak to a real nice person and she makes sure a plummer will be out very soon. Both of my calls were earlier than then appointment times and the work was done with care and perfection. Also, it is nice to have a company come out to address the problem without charging a fee for this service. I met Jimmie today for a water leak and Jess last week for a gas line installation. No one ever wants a pluming problem but it is great to have a company to work who is there to help the homeowner as opposed to just making money.

Shaun arrived to run a gas line to our fireplace as we recently purchased a gas insert. He was prompt, efficient and very neat. He also has a great sense of humor! He carefully explained the process, quoted a reasonable price and completed the task very promptly. We were very impressed! He was even kind enough to patiently answer our plumbing questions that were totally unrelated to the task at hand! We certainly would turn to Flowrite Plumbing when needs arise.
