Recommended Customer Reviews
Responded to our late evening and weekend emergency broken pipe. Once he looked at the problem, he quickly repaired and explained how we could prevent from reoccurring. Very polite and professional, came earlier than expected, and cleaned up all debris and flooding before he left. The value and craftsmanship is above all expectations!
Tracy A.I would not recommend this company to anyone. My mom called for a technician to come out an diagnose a water problem at my grand parents house. The technician came out and said the water pump needs to be replaced. My mom paid an expensive amount to have the pump replaced only to find out that the water pump was not the problem. When she called to ask what the next steps were since this did not fix the problem, the company just referred her to another business. They did not offer to come back and fix the problem or offer any type of discount. We paid for a qualified technician to diagnose and fix the problem that was never fixed. My mom is on a fixed income and cannot afford to come out of pocket for these repairs. The frustrating part is they didn't offer any type of remedy or help and its Christmas. Nothing but a rip off. I wish I had known the name of the company before she gave them the approval. If I had saw these complaints before the services were rendered I would have stopped her. She is in NC and I am in MD. Never use this get over company.
Great service! Awesome family owned business. So happy to be able to get a shower again. Wonderful folks-highly recommend! Thank you Jessica, Kevin and family! God bless!
Just had there service man Brian and his partner take care of a clog in my system . Got it fixed and were extremely professional and the price was very fair. Very happy with them . Definetly will refer to friends and neighbors. Than you Forbes for a job well done!
Would not recommend to anyone! Charges by the hour (120) and then will send inexperienced worker out that takes double the time. Sad when the only way to make a living is taking advantage of others!
James B.A very smart and helpful technician, Kevin, came out to my parents house on Sunday afternoon. He conducted a quick and thorough investigation. He solved the problem efficiently and cleaned up after himself with maximum efficiency. And he was friendly with the dog! This was a great emergency plumber callout and we will now be using them for future home improvement work we have planned.
I called on Sunday to schedule service since they are open 24/7. I did not want emergency service, I just wanted to get on the books for my service. They could not come until Tuesday. That was fine and I took off work. Around 11:30 AM, I called just to verify that they would be coming that day. They had an emergency and two trucks had been there since 7 AM. That was fine, I just wanted to know if someone would be coming that day since I had taken off work. The lady kept saying she couldn't tell me a time (I didn't want a time) and was going on and on about the emergency (something else I was not questioning) she kept talking/yelling over me and not letting me get two words in. When I finally got a chance to ask her if it would be that day she proceeded to tell me that I was a ""horrible person"" and that they would ""never work with someone that is such a horrible person"" She told me I should've let them come out Sunday.... I was not home when they wanted to come. She was so rude to me that I have never been spoken to like that and I definitely did not deserve to be spoken to like that. Anyone that can allow their employees to verbally assault customers for trying to ask 1 single question is someone I would never work with. After she yelled at me about what a horrible person I was and how they'd never work with me she hung up on me. As long as that woman works there I would NEVER recommend this company to anyone.
Debbie P.Charges $180 per hour on weekends. Didn't have a switch for my well on his truck so I had to pay $180 per hour for him to drive back and get a switch. A 20 minute job took two hours and I had to pay $400 to get my water back on (he discounted me $50, not charging me the trip charge which would have made it $450).
