    Thank you !!!

    11/20/2023- Time to change the batteries in the touch less kitchen faucet.. Not an easy task to get under the sink and reach all the way to the back... Willing and ready... replaced all four AA batteries... feeling great... Ooops... didn't turn on... Hard to see the tiny symbols for the positive.. yelled to Alexa- she said positive is the spring side.. Didn't work.. Called Jolly... and he walked me through.. of course Alexa was wrong. Just thankful Rich remembered and called me back Asap..

    Installed a new toilet perfectly, and they kept everything clean. Upfront and fair pricing, great communication, and response time. I definitely will hire them for all my plumbing needs... Thank you, best plumbing experience ever...

    We recently replaced our water heater with a tankless one and it has been fantastic decision! No…read moremore running out of hot water! (With a household of 6 the daily use of the washing machine, bathtubs, and dishwasher had to be carefully timed and even then we sometimes had to use water that wasn't the appropriate temperature; having hot water on demand has been a lifesaver during this season of raising young children). Dirty Plumber was quick to respond to my husband's quote request and the company was transparent with pricing. I really feel we got a good value and quality work. After the work was completed, I later saw the business owner volunteering at AWANAS (apparently he's a regular who volunteers every week with the kids); this gave me further confidence that the owner must be genuine guy who's speal about how he was able to offer the best price really could be trusted. I *WILL* say that had I been the one looking at quotes (rather than my husband) the name "Dirty Plumber" would not have necessarily deterred me but the ugly cartoon mascot painting on their company truck certainly may have! I would imagine oftentimes women are the ones who arrange their schedule to let the employee in to do the work and the "plumber's crack", actively smoking while working, disheveled grumpy looking mascot painted on their van didn't exactly paint a picture of professionalism, reliability, or safety. THANKFULLY, I felt the owner and employee who arrived to do the work were professional in their interactions, overall appearance, time on task, and attention to detail (the tankless water heater is installed evenly on my garage wall and the insulation on it looks neat and tidy). If you are considering switching to a tankless water heater I highly recommend Dirty Plumber. Their price is great, they are thorough, and the quality work is evident.

    I used their services several years ago to fix a broken pipe behind our master tub and shower. Joe…read morewas fair, on time, diligent in completing the work and a very nice guy! No one enjoys dealing with plumbing emergencies or issues, but if you're looking for someone fair, honest and true to their word, you need to hire the services of The Dirty Plumber. Excellent overall and they are locally owned as well. Recommended.

    UPDATE JUNE 27TH:…read more Sir, you know very well that's not all you did, you guys demanded payment without even assessing my sink first. I HIGHLY doubt you do that when you visit your white client's homes. I was also very welcoming and friendly to both of you. If you guys don't want to work with non-white customers, just add a sign to your business that clearly states "WHITES ONLY". ------------------------------------ ORIGINAL REVIEW: I don't even know how to address this, but here it goes: Do you guys demand payment upfront before even assessing the clogs from ALL your clients? When I opened the door, both technicians looked at me up and down and asked first if it was an apartment and told me they couldn't work here, to which I asked "why tho?" And the sir replied "because you have to let property management know, who's gonna pay?" as if thinking we weren't paying? I mean that's exactly why we called you, because WE WANTED TO PAY TO FIX OUR PROBLEM. Then after telling them that we of course were paying (hello?), before even assessing the clog, payment was demanded, and they didn't start until payment was confirmed. The other guy wouldn't even acknowledge me or respond to me when I made him a direct question. I'm not calling it racism, but it very well felt like I was being racially profiled. Yes, they fixed the problem and I'm very thankful for that, but the experience was very awkward. If you guys tell me that's your MO with ALL your clients and you ask for the payment first before even starting, I'll consider editing rating and review.

    Our home warranty sent a plumber out, who I'll review separately, to diagnose and fix a basement…read morebathroom that stopped drawing. They said it was a mainline issue and we would have to find someone else. Based on Yelp reviews we called the Plumbing Doctor and had an appointment the next day. As it turns out the basement doesn't go to the mainline but goes through an ejector tank & pump up to the mainline. It took Dave about 3 minutes to diagnose the problem as a failed pump. He basically cleared the schedule the next day, had the pump replaced and we're back in business. Communicated through the whole process. Even though dealing with sewage in our basement the job was done spotlessly with a very thorough clean up. Pricing seems very reasonable though we didn't shop around. I'll give this locally owned small business a call every time and just skip my home warranty in the future. Much less headache for a reasonable price.

I've always found them straightforward to work with, and they get the job done correctly and in the expected time.

Michael's said there was a $69 fee to show up, plus parts and labor costs. That was fine. But they ended up not coming on the day scheduled. So then they told us we would get $50 off on the job for the next day. That was also fine. When I called the next day to see when they were coming, I was told they don't do small like ours. They said they would come for $225 plus job expenses. When I mentioned the earlier amounts that were quoted to me, I was told that the manager who spoke with me before did not know their policies. I try to use local businesses every chance I get. This one didn't work out. I called a larger chain operation and they came over the next did the whole job for $100, labor included. Not a big deal in the greater scheme of things, but maybe Michael's managers need to get on the same page as their schedulers.
