Plumber Bob's

Beau M.

There are lots of plumbers out here, and most are probably good, but not great. Reliable, knowledgeable and well, just average. This is not the case with Plumber Bob. He is exceptional... a five star rating is for ""as good as it gets"", and that is the case with Bob - as in Plumber Bob (see photo for the real deal.)

Our situation started with a trickle of water coming up from the bathroom floor. From what I now know, it is hard to detect the origin of these leaks - especially when they are slow. And, most of the plumbers I called to address the problem did not want to have much to do with leak detection or diagnosis. Bob was the only plumber that took the time to ACCURATELY find the problem. These are called slab leaks, and they occur when a pipe breaks in or below the foundation of the house - in our case, a house built in '57. The pipes originally installed in the ground, running up though the foundation, were beginning to fail.

Although Bob suggested less expensive options - like fixing only the line that was leaking, we opted for a re-pipe of the entire house. Why? When you have water leaking from your slab, it is only a matter of time before you have to replace your pipes, either one at a time, or all at once. It is like going to the dentist, pay now, or pay a lot later. So, the next step was to look at a few options for the re-pipe work.

We asked for a few quotes from other referred plumbers, and to make a long story short, if you are considering this option, by all means do it, but in the end, you will do yourself a favor by having Bob do the work. You see - re-piping requires thought - you have to map out the course for the pipes - and Bob is a genius in that department. The more experience you bring to the table, the cleaner the re-pipe. So, you ask, what is involved?

A re-pipe redirects your plumbing form the ground - these pipes are abandoned - to the attic, then, through the walls to the sinks etc., and anything else that the pipes feed. We have an older house with odd locations for showers, sinks, tubs, so you have to be creative in mapping the pipe, or you will end up with holes all over your house - and many may not be necessary. This is the art of the re-pipe, and Bob's work in our house was very creative - really pure genius. We have a lot fewer drywall patches to make, but even fewer stucco repairs - on the outside of the house - which are much more expensive to repair. All these small details save you money - on what was already a very competitive bid.

I could go on and on... it's all good, but you get the point. Oh, and by the way, Bob is a really nice person, which goes a long way when you invite someone into your house. By the end of our re-pipe, Bob was like a member of our family.

Bob was very nice and did honest work. Despite his busy schedule he managed to squeeze us in. Learned a lot from his 25+ experience of explaining how the pipes in my home worked. He basically re-routed a slab pipe leak and did a very clean job of doing it. I would definitely recommend his work to anyone.

Yelp came through for us again. When we had a broken overflow pipe, we just decided to change the tub and give our bathroom a new look. We found Bob on Yelp and he is (as the other reviewers had noted) a quality, affordable and honest plumber.

We ran into a problem with our tub installation. What remodel project doesnt have these? Bob found a broken kitchen drain line beneath where the tub was going to be. He spent an extra half day repairing the drain line. He even brought in extra help but in the end, it only cost a little extra money above his original quote. He worked efficiently but really put a lot of effort in making sure our tub was placed carefully. We're very happy we found him on Yelp.

I never thought that I would meet a plumber who's honest, does quality job and is reasonable (speaking from experience). Bob changed my mind. He replaced my cracked water heater at a quarter of a price quote I got from another company and did it in under an hour! Unheard of!

Bob is great! We had a minor plumbing problem but since I saw water and wasn't sure where it was coming from, it wasn't minor to us! Bob came out right away after I called, got a temporary fix in place to hold us over and came out first thing the next morning and did the repairs quickly and professionally. He's our go-to plumber now for sure and we will recommend him to anyone who needs his services!

I called plumber Bob on referral when I woke up to a foundation leak. He showed before his anticipated time, which was only a few hours after I called. He got right to work. Completely fixed a foundation leak in a few hours! He is the best plumber I have ever used. Thank You Bob! He worked quickly, was very personable, and got the job done.

During our remodelation we found that some pipes ( water and gas) beind the fireplace were rusted and needed to be fixed ASAP.
I found Bob here in yelp and based on the reviews I dediced to give him a call. He came the next morning and did an EXCELLENT job.
He not only did a great job replacing both pipes but also took extra measures so that the problem didnt happen agan, he also checked that the other pipes weren't at risk too.

Both my husband and I are very detailed oriented and we were surprised of how good of a job he did. He is also very tidy.
I HIGHLY RECOMEND HIM. its nice to know that we have a plumber that we can trust, does an excellent job and its affortable.

I have used Plumber Bob alot! He is awesome, no job too small or too big. He is punctual, his work is flawless, and he is more than fair with his pricing. You will not be unhappy with his work. Every friend and acquaintance I have referred him to says the same thing.

Bob is a great plumber, called him on Tuesday this week to fixed a leaking trap under the bathroom sink. He arrived promptly in the afternoon and he fixed it in about 15 min. He even fixed by sprinkler heads while he was here. I would definitely use him in the future and recommend him to all my friends. T.W
