OK, but I had used plungers ... so it was better when they left, but always slowed to a halt again pretty soon. Mr. Goolsby sent someone out who tried to snake it from the roof but it was so bad he had to use sulphuric acid ... which he did ... and the sinks now run better (100% better) than they have since we moved in. 5 Stars for Goolsby P&E!!!!!

I will never hire Goolsby Plumbing again - EVER!…read more I hired Goolsby Plumbing to replace multiple undersink and toilet valves with 90-degree ball valves in early May 2026. Upon arrival their technician insisted rubber valves were better than 90-degree ball valves. I questioned it, but he insisted, and since he's the expert, I took his advice. He then took just as long for the simple rubber washer replacement job as was originally quoted for the more complex brazing job. After speaking with two other plumbing companies since then who have confirmed the ball valves are better, I now believe the Goolsby tech doesn't care about quality workmanship and just wanted the easy job rather than braze on the better quality valves like a true craftsman. I also believe that he "milked the clock" in order to overcharge me, not because the job required it. I believe he DEFRAUDED me. (But I could be wrong, this is just my opinion). Their billing practices are also questionable. Undisclosed to me prior to billing and payment, they start billing at $90/hr for the tech to simply DRIVE from their office to the job site, not when the tech arrives on the job. I live 3.7 miles and 8 minutes away from their shop (per Google maps) and was charged $45 for an alleged 30 minutes of "travel time". I was charged professional plumber rates for non-plumbing activities, and additionally was overcharged for travel time by 375%. I believe this is also FRAUDULENT! (But I could be wrong, this is just my opinion). I called the office that same morning, right after the tech departed and politely expressed these concerns to "M" and requested a refund of the travel charges. She politely informed me "This is our normal practice" and said she would forward my request to the owner. A few hours later I called again with the same effect. On such a simple and obvious matter, I expected a response the same day, or perhaps an immediate decision from the office manager. Instead, I remain ignored and swindled. (But I could be wrong, this is just my opinion). As of this writing, 02June2026, I still have not received a response, and I do not expect one. "Fool me once, shame on you...". There will not be a "twice". I will NOT be doing business with Goolsby Plumbing in the future. (Definitely NOT wrong- it ain't gonna happen!)
