Tarvin Plumbing

Needed quick service on a leak beneath a bathroom sink. Our house was going on the market in days. Though booked, Tarvin put me on their call list in case a plumber in my area became available. I missed the window on the first time they called, but the second time I managed to catch them and they showed up on time, gave me an accurate assessment and fair quote, and completed the work quickly. They cleaned up well after themselves. All and all, a great experience.

We've worked with Tarvin at 4 houses over 33 years and have always been happy with them. They are very professional and friendly, and they always solve the problem.

Called in Apollo first and they couldn't unplug the drain (but still charged me). Suggested I spend thousands of dollars cutting the wall and pipe out.

Called Tarvin next. They got the job done.

Tar in Plumbing wrote an untruthful response to my post of poor service. Called the office was plumber was here. The woman was rude and I could hear her saying I am a complainer and to leave. The plumber was here maybe 25 minutes and he seemed unconcerned about my plumbing issues.

Tarvin plumbers helped me with toilet installs and a water heater install and their follow up is great. Many years ago we had trouble locating a large enough gas water heater and they drove to KY to locate one. They will go the extra mile and the owner called us personally to see that this was done.

Tarvin replaced a broken flush valve on my guest toilet. I had purchased a replacement valve thinking of doing the work myself, but decided to let a professional do it. I asked if the valve purchased by me was acceptable. I was told after it was installed that it was about an inch shorter than the original. Because of that, I have to now hold down the flush handle until the bowl empties, and the supply valve now constantly leaks water because the float does not go up high enough to turn it off. So after the $214 payment, I still have a defective toilet. I contacted Tarvin and offered to purchase a new flush valve and supply valve from them if they would not charge another installation fee. They refused. They refused to offer any consideration for the problem. I feel that a professional plumber should have told me that the flush valve would not work rather than install it and then tell me it wouldn't work properly.

Every time I asked the plumber a question he would reply ""I'm not sure, what do you think?"" Didn't instill confidence, but they got the job done.

The builder of our townhome in OTR put our furnace and AC on the second floor to get more airflow to the third floor. We ran into a problem with the AC drain overflowing to our kitchen ceiling in the second floor. We called Tarvin for help as we needed someone soon.

Dave came over the next day and we got service at a reasonable price. Dave not only fixed our problem but spent time helping us figure out how to prevent the issue from happening again. He took us step by step through the process and even explained that it's actually pretty normal to have some buildup in the pvc pipes from dripping water lines.

This was above and beyond and much appreciated. And we weren't gouged the service. When this happened we were concerned because we have had bad experiences with plumbers in the past. Tarvin is our go to plumber from here on out.

I hired Tarvin because of their high ratings and common sense approach to diagnosing a storm drain repair. Unfortunately, on this multi-step repair they either miscommunicated or mislead me a few times. Despite considerable attempts to communicate somethings were not completed as contracted and discussed. One example which seems completely out of character, considering the reviews- one of the drains that had just been cleared of debris and roots by a Tarvin plumber was not covered up nor repaired to prevent more debris from falling in. I ended up configuring a temporary fix with things I had on hand. Our agreement was I would supply material so it and the other downspout that needed connected would be repaired. When I went to purchase supplies I was told not to purchase anything yet. When I gave them the opportunity to follow through on what was discussed they basically told me -it was my problem. The other problems were annoying but I could overlook them. In general I imagined a much better outcome considering the other reviews and spending 7000+ dollars.

Have been using Tarvin for years at two different houses. My outside hose faucet became inoperable and I called Tarvin. They were in the area and 15 minutes later Brent arrived...needed some internal parts and did not have to replace the faucet. Was done in less than 15 minutes and very reasonable charge. Very Happy!!
