Recommended Customer Reviews
Great plumber! Efficient, high quality, consistent workmanship. Able to figure out problems and give appropriate solution. Fair and detailed. Highly recommend!
The pilot light on my 14 year old hot water tank kept going out. I was ready to dish out big money to replace it and Forbes came out and repaired it, saving me tons of money. His honesty was sincere and he wasn't trying to make money. He knew what he was doing and I will definitely call him for more plumbing issues in the future.
Being in the middle of this healthcare crisis, my hot water heater goes out. They were able to work around my crazy hospital schedule and have a new one installed in 2 days. Definitely honest, polite, and best price around.
Julie H.I have used Forbes plumbing for years. Their knowledge is top notch! They are quick to respond, friendly and honest. Used them for new kitchen and bath install plus drain clean out over the years. Highly recommend their services for your plumbing needs.
Frank K.How do you know that a business is honest and forthright? When you're given an estimate to which you agree and the actual invoice turns out to be less than half that amount!
They had an opportunity to put their own interest ahead of their customer and they didn't. That demonstrates honesty and integrity!
Roy H.Had another plumber come out earlier. It was a bigger job than had anticipated. My sister in law knew somebody who referred her to Forbes. I was very happy with their work. They installed a clean out in the main sewage line. Because one was never installed. It's right in the crawl space where they can get to it next time . They also repaired a 2 inch pvc drain line coming from the kitchen sink that the previous plumber had broke routing the line because the cast iron fitting was so corroded. Nice job guys!. They were here almost all day because they had to find "" the true"" main line. They discovered that the pipe leading out of the crawl space used to lead to the septic tank and was previously re routed by my deceased father in law who I never had the chance to meet. My wife's family didn't have extra money growing up so he did all the repairs. Anyway again, nice job on an old house and great detective work on finding the main line. Will definitely recommend and call on them again if we need them.
Stephen W.Our older home suddenly experienced multiple plumbing problems: a failing water heater, a bathtub drain leaking into our basement, etc. We called Forbes Plumbing and received a prompt, fair estimate. We scheduled the work within 24 hours of our acceptance of their bid, and the plumbers arrived right on time as scheduled.
Despite the challenges of our older home, the jobs were all completed with a very high level of professionalism. The men were friendly, courteous, and expert in their work. I would recommend Forbes for their expert work, their fair pricing, and their prompt, courteous service.
Hello all. I was two days from leaving on vacation when somewhere a blockage developed where water backed up through my drain in the basement. Soapy dirty ^%*^ water! I moved as much away from the water as possible and left a message on Forbes Plumbing explaining I was leaving in now 1 1/2 days and could they possibly come out before I leave. Fit me in, out the next day by 11:00 and finished in about an hour. He was thorough! We texted as I was at work and talked about what he discover, took care of and offered recommendations. The fee was very reasonable and the work was superb. Problem solved and I'm going on vacation on time! HIGHLY RECOMMEND Forbes Plumbing.
Fantastic customer service! Prompt and professional; Courteous and reasonable pricing! Had a couple of problems with a running toilet and shower fixture and made an appointment. The day of Eric called ahead and was able to get here earlier (which was great). He got things working fairly quickly. He explained what was causing the problems and what steps were taken to fix them. I will need to replace the toilet eventually (it's an older one) and possibly the shower fixture and when that time comes, know who to call.
Very happy with Forbes Plumbing and the professionalism of the staff. They removed their shoes when coming into my home which is a huge deal in my book. They provided tarps to protect my appliances when replacing a pipe that they recommended be changed due to the corrosion while they were here to solve my slow drain problem.
They worked around my busy work schedule which made my life a lot easier.
