We contacted them because we had backflow from the toilet when draining the tub.

Quoted his hourly rate which was agreed to. Once he arrived, he turned the water on full tilt and did not monitor it while outside. The whole bathroom, laundry and kitchen was flooding. The Ahlvers owner took no responsibility for the damages and would not provide his insurance information so I could file a claim. To add insult to injury he charged for TWO MEN, instead of the one quote and when we questioned the charges he said "whether I brought 2 guys or 27 it doesn't matter". He wasn't able to unclog the blockage but charged us $300 for the attempt and billed us $200 for using his camera he told us we could buy on Amazon for $80 for the future. Truly unfortunate that this is one of the only licensed plumbers in the county to deal with. I paid the remaining bill to avoid getting sent to collections but he would not budge on his price or discount it even though we had to replace all the flooring in that area.

We bought a home in 1991 and have always used Ahlvers. They may not always be there within 24 hours…read morebut that depends on the urgency of the situation. And, granted, plumbing bills always seem high but in what world are home repair costs low? They have removed our propane furnace and replaced it with an electric heat pump. They have removed our propane hot water tank and replaced it with an electric one. We have always been satisfied with their work. This home is a manufactured one so our water lines were not the best to begin with. Between my husband and Curtis of Ahlvers, they have almost replaced every water joint under the house. I never hesitate to call Ahlvers.
