I came home one day and saw my husband with a guilty expression. Not sure what exactly happened, so I interrogate him. Apparently he has broken the angle stop and have water leaking everywhere. But luckily hungry plumber was already there for the rescue. The work is wonderful and I don't need to be stressed when he took care of everything for us, the price is also very reasonable. 1 week later, our shower end up having issues and stop working at all, again we hired Hungry Plumber to help us take care of everything. Very reliable and consistent service.

I would have loved to give 5 stars for a great job, well done, if the plumber had actually showed up for his appt. I had appt with Jason this morning at 8-8:30AM to install a new sink and faucet into a new countertop. Since I am very busy, we set it up for his first appt so there wouldn't be any other jobs going long and getting him here late. It is now 9:30 AM. I hadn't heard from him so called and he goes ""oh, I guess I lost that number"". I told him to forget it. If the company isn't organized enough to keep track of appts and call if late, I have already lost my trust.

I called Hungry Plumbing on a Sunday and they showed up 30 minutes later as stated. He did a fantastic job. Thanks again!

We could not come to an agreement on price. I would think this is fairly common but his attitude afterwards and way he walked out of the house slamming the door and talking nonsense is utterly unprofessional. Beware!

Just seeing the response from the owner.. It is absolutely correct that I did not respond to his one line enquiry as I am just seeing it (i don't log in to Yelp everyday!). However, a defensive response is usually a tell tell sign of what you are dealing with. All I can say is that I am not obliged to give any information after the fact sir. The review is accurate and you'd help your business by ensuring you treat potential customers with utmost respect. Don't ask identifiable information.. Anyone with at least a single brain cell will not give identifiable info when dealing with crazy!

Jason was great! I called him at midnight because I had an emergency clog in my main pipes that caused all tubs and toilets to overflow. He was therein 30 mins. He was honest and worked fast and didn't overcharge for after hours. I would use him again and highly recommend to try him out for your plumbing needs. Thanks again Jason for saving me from a flooded house.

He was very polite and professional. He showed up when he said he would and he was very honest. He was respectful to me and stayed on task with the job. Highly recommend Jason.

I have no beef with someone that wants to work...I started using Jason 2 years ago, quoted appropriately $75/hr Plus materials...with a signed estimate....Great!! he's worked at my mother's primary residence and her rental. HOWEVER,

Called him today for same problem that he fixed 2 years ago...he quoted over phone $175 at door just to cable line for 1 hr, $150 each hour after that!!! Plus quoted it takes 1-2 hr to pull and replace toilet (NOT!). He also told me that he doesn't work well in the rain!! It's an inside job!!! Bottom line he didn't want to work today because he told me when I called him at 8am that he had a late night (ok..especially if he was working)...But he called me 4 hours later and then quoted me outrageous dollars to avoid the work!!! This is actually the 2nd time that he did this...but I couldn't believe he would normally act this way...but now I know.

I wanted a reliable plumber that I can trust to use for my mother's house, my mother's rental and my house. Jason is now off the list. He works when he needs the money, you can tell when he starts quoting numbers without seeing the job or when you prove that you are too wise to fall for his game playing.. Also you will see alot of jobs are full replacement rather than repair...he makes more money this way!!

We have called on Jason for our plumbing problems for several years, home and a rental. He knows what he is doing, is pleasant, and we highly recommend him!

This gentleman did not work for me. I found him to be unpredictable time wise. On day one, he got delayed; on day two, he wanted to come an hour before hour appt time.

Once here, we argued about the price. He asked for blanket authorization ...and I was unwilling to give it beyond the first hour.

I've had drains cleaned before....and it just didn't go well. When I said this wasn't working, he thanked me for wasting his time and left.

Overall, not easy, not friendly.

Jason came out first thing in the morning on a Saturday to fix our backed-up sewer. He was friendly and on time. He's your new plumber.
