Recommended Customer Reviews

I was in a time crunch. My usual go-to plumber was extremely busy on existing projects and I did not want a tenant of mine to keep waiting but wanted a trustworthy alternative. I called Samuel Bales from a search on Yelp and left a message. Michael returned my call within 5 mins. To my surprise, he was willing and able to come out right away. I texted him the address to the property where I was having a garbage disposal issue.
We met there on time. Michael was able to clear the problem and show me what I could do in the future should a similar problem arise.
The following week I called on Michael again. This time it was at another property to diagnose and clear all plumbing drains in a bathroom.
The charge for services was not cheap but they were fair, came out right away, and the attention and care to the problem were worth it. I will most definitely use Michael/Samuel Bales Plumbing again. In fact, I was getting ready to call them again for a dishwasher repair so I remembered I wanted to write them a review.

I'm handy enough to figure things out, but not confident enough to take a crack at messing up my kitchen plumbing, so I called Samuel Bales. Michael stopped by, I told him the troubleshooting I did before hand, and he did the rest, and explained the the shutoff valve needed replaced, which was a good call. Helped me fill in some gaps in my plumbing knowledge (there are many), wrapped up in under an hour, and gave me a reasonable price. Would absolutely call him again, for repairs or additional advice.

I bought a foreclosure with numerous problems, one of them happened to be a waterfall from the kitchen ceiling. They were able to fit me in same day (I had been told anywhere from several days to over a week with other companies I contacted). Even though they were pretty busy they still managed to come out and take care of multiple issues. I had several burst pipes throughout the house, issues with the gas lines not being properly capped, the shower was broken and leaking, a leaking kitchen sink, a hot water heater that needed attention, etc. etc. I am more than pleased with the services rendered. They were prompt, worked very quickly, took care of all of the issues I knew about and others that would have been quite a problem down the line. The price was extremely reasonable. I can't emphasize enough how pleasantly surprised I was at the cost to take care of all of this. I am a graduate student, and do not have a ton of money and feared I would have to pick and chose what to take care of immediately, and I was able to do it all! They were very knowledgeable, helpful, prompt, respectful and I would definitely recommend Sam Bales plumbing to anyone! I was dreading turning the water on in this house, and my worry was quickly assuaged by the expertise and reliability of these great guys! I am already planning to have them help me get the boiler up and running and would not hesitate to call them again!

Sam and son Michael, honest and professional as you can get. Fixed our aging heating system so that it works better than before. Came when promised, did a great job and cleaned up. I highly recommend them.

I have had Sam and Michael out a couple of times. They are always very helpful...they have repaired problems other plumbers said couldn't be fixed without big bucks...and are very nice. I trust their work and their prices are quite reasonable. I'll call them again.
