They quoted us $4,250 to fix our clogged toilet. I was at an event but our niece was there when they came to give an estimate. Seeing how young and inexperienced she was, they tried to pull a scare tactic when they lifted the toilet and saw some micro roots at the top of the drain. They claimed that the roots cracked the pipe and they must excavate the soil up to 3 feet deep to access and repair the pipe. Additional fees would be charged if they couldn't get a clean pipe cut. They also said that they would not be responsible for putting back the tiles that were removed to repair. Luckily, my niece contacted me and I was able to assess the problem from the photos that she sent. There were micro-roots but they were too small to crack the pipe. In fact, with all houses (especially old ones), you will find roots near any areas with moisture. Once in a while, these roots can crack old pipes and clog them up. But in our case, I could tell that the micro-roots came up from the outside of the pipe and started to cover the rim of the drain. All you have to do is pull, clear, and clean them out. I asked the plumber why he didn't do that but he insisted that the roots cracked the pipe and he must excavate the bathroom to fix it. By this time, I knew that we were being scammed, and I told him to just put it back so I could get another plumber who was honest and willing to do the right thing. He said fine but we owed them $500 for his work. I brought up their free estimate advertisement but he insisted the charge was for unscrewing two screws, lifting the toilet, using the snake to look down and assess the problem, and putting the toilet back. I couldn't believe what I was hearing but since my niece didn't know and thought it was part of the free estimate. I asked him how much less if he didn't put back the toilet. He called his boss and came back with $400 total for basically a quick 30-minute estimate/evaluation. After the plumber left, I contacted my brother-in-law. He came over to help out. We easily cleared, cleaned, and put back the toilet in less than 40 minutes. There were no cracks. My intuition and assessment were correct and saved us at least $4000 of our hard-earned money. It ended up costing an additional $14.83 for a new wax ring and a tube of caulking. A big lesson learn is that most businesses that use Discount as part of their names will usually charge you a lot more than whatever they are discounting. Don't throw your hard-earned money in the toilet. We are never going to use Discount Plumbing SD again!

My family has used Touchdown Plumbing before, and they were so reliable that we called them again…read morefor a new issue and they are still fantastic! Brandon arrived promptly and fixed a cracked drain pipe quickly and efficiently. He was extremely professional, taking the time to strategically assess the root cause of the crack rather than just patching the problem. Touchdown Plumbing offers very reasonable rates, and the whole team is honest and truthfu they are exactly the kind of people you want to work with on home repairs. Highly recommended!

We recently had an under-slab water leak at our home and reached out to three plumbing companies…read morefor quotes to reroute both the hot and cold water lines above the ceiling instead of repairing the piping under the slab. Brandon with Touchdown Plumbing came out the same day to provide an estimate. His price wasn't the lowest of the three, but it was competitive. After talking with him and walking him through the house, I had a good feeling about him. His written quote captured the entire scope of work in detail, so I knew nothing would be left out, which I don't see very often. He also said he would personally do the work, so I knew the scope wouldn't get lost in translation to someone else. Brandon, Brendan, and Sonny did a fantastic job. Each day they laid down plastic, cleaned up construction debris before leaving, and kept us updated. They also left us with running water every night. The piping was installed in a clean and orderly manner. Brandon was a true professional from start to finish, and I wouldn't hesitate to reach out to Touchdown for my next project.

Around 9 PM I went into the garage to move the laundry and was greeted with a pool of water flowing…read morefrom beneath the hot water heater and soaking the floor and carpet. Thankfully I caught it early or it could've been a huge disaster. After stabilizing everything by shutting off the water and gas, I came onto Yelp to look for highly rated companies with 24/7 service. I wasn't aware that plumbers don't sleep, the first company I called sent a technician out the same night. After I received the quote I uploaded it to an AI that told me that it was a good solution but significantly more expensive than I should be paying. I decided I would also call a highly rated company that specialized in water heaters, and the AI listed JG Water Heaters as well as a couple of others I left a message for JG and the owner called me back quickly. We spent about 15 minutes on the phone talking about the solution, the prices, the options, the risks, etc. His verbal quotes were significantly lower than the other company, and he could send a technician out first thing in the morning. The information that I uploaded to the AI resulted in a thumbs up and a couple clarifying questions, but seeing as though I was in the middle of a water emergency I wasn't going to go out and get the normal 4 to 5 quotes for work The technician arrived precisely on time the next morning, examined the entire situation and determined that I had two really good options. A plug-in place replacement 50 gallon tank, or to go tankless. The outlets, gas lines, vents, etc. were all perfect for tankless and they gave me a competitive quote. I decided I did not want to go through flooding again and decided to spend the extra money on the tankless system. Over the next 4 to 5 hours the technician worked diligently installing the system, and he wasn't even bothered by my occasional visits and questions. At one point the owner came out to drop off some equipment and I got to meet him in person. After the install was complete we went through the house to make sure everything was working properly, and the technician hauled away the old hot water heater and cleaned up after himself. My adult son took the first shower with the New system and said it was perfect. No issues at all, although I had to turn up the temperature a little bit to what we were used to. I highly recommend JG Water Heaters. Great people, super fast response, and what seems like a reasonable price. I'd be more confident if I got more quotes, but AI is pretty good at evaluating proposals and they said this was a good one. I have confidence that if anything goes wrong they would come out in a heartbeat to take care of it. Thanks JG Water Heaters for helping me avert a disaster and getting me a hot water system that will probably outlive me

JG made it the least painful process of replacing our burst traditional water heater ever (we have had this happen too many times) and finally they helped switch us to a tankless system. Appointments were quick and convenient, and Christian was super efficient and confidence-inspiring. He surveyed our system and made sure he took care of any other problems easily that we were not aware of in the same visit. Keep up the amazing work!

The installers, Ilya and Max, worked incredibly hard, were respectful of our home, and thoroughly cleaned everything up when they were finished. The installation took place during an intense heat wave, but they both persevered through the two-day job with a smile and a great attitude. A minor issue with the installation came to light a few days later. We called West Coast Heating and Air, and Christian, the technician, came out that same day. He worked overtime to quickly diagnose and remedy the problem, and we really appreciated his dedication and responsiveness. I highly recommend West Coast Heating and Air. The entire team are superheroes in my book! Being able to feel cool and comfortable again during this summer heat wave is amazing. We couldn't be happier with the experience!

Eric diagnosed the issue within the minute, and even took care of some minor issues during the call. Completely educated me on proper a/c care and maintenance. Finding a trustworthy a/c company can be a painful trail and error; I know too well. I've lived in SD for 14 years, and folks West Coast Air is the go-to for a/c. BOTTOM LINE: PROFESSIONALS WITH THE RESOURCES TO GET YOUR AIR UP AND RUNNING, FULL TRUST & CONFIDENCE!
