Rub A Dub Plumbing

I got a visit from the city and shut off my water due to a leak coming from an unknown place. I…read morecalled a well-known plumbing service, the man who came by concluded in about 2 minutes that it was a sprinkler leak and that it would be cheaper to call a sprinkler service company. I did that, thought my problems were solved, but within an hour of having the water on the leak was back. I then decided to give Rub A Dub a try. Aaron came by and, unlike the other two, went to work to find the leak. After some bush-cutting and rock moving, he determined the connection between my copper and PVC pipes had broken in the yard, and he repaired the fitting promptly. Thank you very much for your help. I think I will be using this company for all plumbing needs going forward.

I'm torn on this review. My tankless water heater went out, and while the Rub-a-Dub guys who came…read moreto repair it were great, I later found that I had been duped. They told me that my water heater's mother board was bad and was obsolete / no longer available. Thus, the only option was to replace the entire system at a cost of nearly $5K. Feeling stuck and taking their word for it, replacing the unit is what we did. A couple months later, my second tankless system (same make, model and age as the first one) went on the fritz. Troubleshooting this system, it too was a motherboard problem, yet this time (not with Rub-a-Dub), a replacement motherboard was available for $300, a far cry from replacing the entire system at 16X the cost! Needless to say, this was a pretty frustrating realization to have about Rub-a-Dub's service call and recommendation. They definitely got me! :-(

I used Able and Advanced to rekey my house due to a lost or stolen key. Able and Advanced arrived as scheduled, they were courteous and very professional. They rekeyed my locks and did s security check on my residence. As it turns out my deadbolts were not locking all the way due to the bolt hole in the door jamb not being drilled deep enough. They corrected the problem and now I feel safe. Thanks guys you left me with peace of mind and I will only use Able and Advanced for my security needs from now on. I highly recommend these guys to anyone who needs a locksmith. Thanks again! read more

We had requested quotes from a highly used locksmith but every time we spoke with them our estimate went up. I finally called another locksmith listed in the phone book and they put me in contact with Able and Advanced Locksmith Services. He did all the work we needed for less money than any of the other estimates. He was very prompt and did a fantastic job for us. Very personable and delightful to deal with. I would highly recommend him to anyone. read more
