Recommended Customer Reviews

I used Reliant once before, and the second time they did not disappoint! I had a small leak coming from the base of my toilet. I called, selected a time for a plumber to come out, and he was there within 2 hours. He pulled the toilet, found that there was a cracked flange. The plumber took the time to walk me through my options and found a solution that was both a very fast fix and very on budget! I really appreciate his honesty and now I know who to call if I have an emergency!

Mack was very knowledgeable and helpful! He was quick to diagnose the situation and explained it well. Would recommend for sure.

Had Reliant come out to commercial property to provide bid to reroute water cutoff valve. Bid amount was over for times what other two bids came it at. It was obvious they didn't have clue was required. Also, they would not return phone call to discuss.

Tried to contact them for an installing of a sink...I purchased the sink..drop in...they quoted me 2300 for it at first...then miraculously went down to 1500...wow...needless to say I found another plumber to do it for 1/3 of the 1500 .....and he was awesome and knowledgeable

Alan showed up on time and gave me an estimate. He explained all the possibilities and told me about pros and cons. Very professional.

I contacted Reliant Plumbing the morning of Monday, May 6th. In attempting to replace failing refrigerator it became evident that the cut off valve to the icemaker water flow was defective. I had the water turned off to prevent damage to my home. Alan from Reliant came around noon. I assumed he was a plumber for he did not identify himself in any other manner. He listened to my story and asked to look at my plumbing situation from the cut water cut off valve outside into my kitchen. He was obviously "inspecting" the current plumbing installation situation. He then informed me that box would have to be replaced, which meant cutting into dry wall and potentially cutting the main pipe and installing other "fitting pieces". He pulled up an image of the box $116. I informed him that this was 2-3x the cost of the same box I could purchase at a plumbing supply store or Amazon (ie. $17-32). I told him that I would accept that cost. He then provided a non-detailed bid of $1160.00 for the job. I told him that that cost was exorbitant, he said it was an estimate but asked me for a check to proceed with the job. He then said "we" would return in about 3-4 hours to complete the job. It was only when the actual plumbers arrived, Roman and Joe, at 4:41 pm (documented on Ring) to perform the work did I realize that Alan was only a salesman and not a plumber. The task required 40 minutes (Ring documented). I was very happy with the work that the plumbers did, and service they provided. I did research on the estimated cost of this plumbing job which on average was between $375-$600.

This was a very clean and simple task with no extra parts, etc.
I have had 16 communications with Reliant via phone and email in the last two weeks. Only once have I been able to communicate with a manager. This manager listened to me, stated he would send a detailed invoice and call me in two days to discuss resolution. This never occurred in spite of me calling and requesting to be placed on the manager's schedule to discuss. I was informed each time, "a manager has been notified and will call you in 48 hours". I have detailed my communication by dates and times from 5.8.24-5.23.24.

I was widely DISPLEASED with the service technician, Jacob, and the service provided by Reliant yesterday. I had done research prior to the visit and knew what the issue was and roughly what the work would cost. The tech quoted a flange replacement at $900, that quote is over 4X what I had seen as a rough cost of this fix.
The other option was to replace my toilet and fix the flange. This was quoted at $2200, that is a roughly $1200 toilet. Was it going to be made of GOLD??? Toilets cost approximately $300. I had told the tech that I wanted a quick and cheap fix as I was trying to sell my condo soon. He ignored me and tried to take advantage.
Jacob was smug condescending and a complete jerk. He told me he "does nothing for less than $500, it's not worth it to him". I feel disgusted to have even called a company that hires people like this. I wasted $89 and felt scammed. I have already called three other companies that have quoted the work at $165 - $255. In addition to all this he did not provide or send a receipt for the service fee.

Underwhelming experience. A technician came out and acted as though he didn't want to install the provided faucet. I was quoted one price, then moments later he told me that he couldn't do it without significant repair and quoted another higher price. The technician would have to reschedule. I asked if he could at least get the existing sink working, but without looking at it, he declined. I opted out of any further work and the technician left. I left a review in the reply Reliant asked me to contact them, I did so and they had no idea who I was supposed to talk to or why. Lots of wasted time from this place.

Started having plumbing issues and called Reliant. Austin came out and took care of 3 issues. Bathroom tub faucets handles both turned same way so you had to undo one to turn the shower on. Kitchen faucet started just dripping when turned on. Sam came out convinced me that we should do a "repipe". He threw in 2 toilets at no extra cost as an incentive to proceed with the repiping. Agreed to get it done to save money in the long run since this is an older home. Workers were polite and respectful but they left a mess all over my house from them cutting out sheetrock and going in and out of house. Seems every worker was blaming person before them for any issues that were found. Inspector came out and it didn't pass. Reliant came back out and fixed the issues. Again... blaming the plumber before them. I had to press for them to come cover the line outside because it was going to freeze. They came out took care of it. Had Reliant come out 2 more times after all this. 1. Bathroom sink was leaking. 2. Toilet was set correctly so it rocked when you sat on it and the bathroom faucet that was originally replaced and replaced during repiping was loose. Again.... Plumbers blaming the plumber before them. When they come out and start giving you quotes they ask you to give them a positive review so that they can give you whatever discount they tell you about. I am sorry but if I am going to give someone a good review... i will do it because I feel the person did a great job not because I am asked to do so. Sorry Sam even though you are all having some competition for best reviews you should trust your work and customer service because I would have given you a great review on that alone.

DO NOT USE!!
This company came out to assess for a leak and he quoted me over $3000 of work that needed to be done in the house.
When I asked him what the bare minimum was to fix the leak, he pointed to a toilet and showed me it was a specific toilet. When I started asking questions, he told me he, in fact did not turn off that toilet to test if that was the problem, which, in fact it was not.
I called to speak to a manager and I have yet to get a call four days later.
Part of their quote " for reputation that matters most"
They obviously don't care about their customers and just try to get money out of people!
They actually made me spend even more money as he tightened all the toilet flap chains to where they wouldn't close, and the toilets were just draining
