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.

He took the time to explain what was causing the problem and answered all of our questions. On top of that, he offered fair and reasonable pricing for the service. We really appreciate his honesty and expertise, and we wouldn't hesitate to call him again for any future plumbing needs. Highly recommend Ali if you're looking for someone dependable and experienced!

The…read moreservice guy was awesome, taught me everything I needed to know and did everything well for the faucet. At the end; however, when it came to the bill, I was initially quoted $250 Max which is relatively high in my opinion (I sent screenshots of the faucet listing so the owner would know what they're working with for a good market quote) and once the job was done, the owner texted the service guy that because it was motion censored that it would be $385 Max. Note: I sent the info of the faucet (to the Business Owner) before I agreed to the "$250 Max" which was already a pretty high ball price since the service costed the same as the faucet piece itself. To have the price at the end jacked up to $385 unexpectedly because the owner didn't do due diligence by looking at the screenshot provided and communicate pricing expectations correctly was very disappointing. Newest Update: The owner has reached out and has made efforts to resolve the issue. I am content with how things worked out in the end. The faucet is working spectacularly, so I'm very happy with the work overall.

While we didn't end up needing to utilize this company's services for the commercial project…read moreemergency we had, (the original contract holder finally showed up for their part), the owner, Juan, was extremely responsive, helpful, and easy to communicate with - he literally returned our request for a quote less than 20 minutes from the time in which we requested an estimate. Additionally, his pricing structure was fair (even for an emergency request). . In addition to being extremely responsive, professional, and of good value, JE Hydro Jetting Services (Juan) was also transparent about the equipment he had available to achieve the efficacy the SOW (scope of work) required; however, while he didn't have the necessary equipment at the time, he was willing to suggest additional solutions to our problem - including, but not limited to, referring us to another helpful business owner (and his previous mentor into the industry, Carlos from CM Jetting - another very professional, responsive, and helpful service provider that insisted on our call that in the future to be sure to reach out to Juan first, since he was our first point of contact). . I will be back in touch with JE Hydro Jetting Services for my next project's needs, which by the looks of the [now] unforeseen [extra] workload for the commercial project we (Laidlaw Building & Development, Inc.). are [still] currently on. . Kudos to Juan and the team at JE Hydro Jetting Services!

Jon came to the house on time and carefully checked the shower faucet, explained clearly the problem and gave options to fix it. Jon has done an excellent job at my house! I will definitely pass the contact to my neighbors and call back All American plumbing in the future.

I had a great experience with All American Plumbing, particularly Iain and his apprentice, Steve…read more I originally called because our kitchen drain had become completely backed up. I had tried troubleshooting it myself and initially thought it might be a relatively simple clog, but it became pretty clear that it needed a professional. Iain thoroughly snaked the line and got everything flowing properly again. While he was working, he also pointed out that the plumbing under our kitchen sink had a lot of smaller sections, fittings, and connections that could be simplified to minimize future issues. What I really appreciated was that it never felt like an upsell. He mentioned it simply as something I might want to consider in the future. I was actually the one who asked whether he could just take care of it while he was already there. He even hesitated because he wasn't sure he had all the necessary parts on the truck, but checked and was able to get it done. The new setup under the sink looks dramatically cleaner, simpler, and stronger. Some of the old fittings were pretty finicky, so I'm especially glad I didn't continue trying to tackle it myself. Iain and Steve spent about three hours between clearing the drain, rebuilding the piping, and making sure everything was working correctly. The pricing was also very reasonable, and Iain actually reduced the original drain-cleaning charge after I added the additional work without me even asking. Both Iain and Steve were friendly, professional, and straightforward. I also really appreciated that Iain took the time to explain what he was doing and gave me some good advice for maintaining the drains going forward. It's hard to find a plumber you feel like you can trust, and this was one of those experiences where I finished the job feeling like I had found someone I would absolutely call again. Highly recommend Iain, Steve, and All American Plumbing.
