Jose was very professional and his team did a great job on the p-trap replacement. Reasonably priced as well!

Ryan came out promptly within the pre-arranged window of time to investigate our toilet, which was…read moreburping intermittently following some recent water shutoffs in our building. He inspected it thoroughly and determined that there was no issue - most likely some air in the pipes following the shutoffs and resulting plumbing work. On that basis, he didn't charge us for the inspection. I was also really impressed with the safety precautions the company took. Before our appointment window, they texted me a picture of Ryan so I could be sure of who I was letting into my home. They also checked whether we had any pets during the initial booking call, to avoid sending a plumber who might be allergic. These are fairly small things, but they did a lot for our peace of mind. All in all, we were impressed, and would happily call on Discount Plumbing again for future needs.

I was very disappointed with this company. I thought, incorrectly, that the would be cheaper than…read moreothers. First, they took two days to get back to me on a problem that was on-going (toilet would not stop running) When they did, they sent a techniciant (Lazlo) who was curt and tried to upsale me. For example : He said it would tak $600 to fix, and when I asked him how much to just replace the toilet, he said $1300. Money is tight, and he showed no empathy in that regard. He told me he would need to be paid immediately, rather than sending me an invoice. And he was not friendly, or particulary sympathic to the cost I may be facing. He said he had to pull out the toilet to repair it, and the labor of that and replacing it would be a lot of money. I let him go, and called Advanced plumbing. They were here in a matter of hours (vs the two day wait from Discount) , came and fixed the problem without pulling out the toilet, to a total charge of $300. I've learned over time that a lot of these guys are trying to scam you and run up the bill. My advice is to shop around, and certainly don't deal with a serviceman who is less than professional, trying to increase your spending, and generally gives you a bad impression. Obviously, Discount plumbine (a misnomer) is off my list.

Exceptional work by Erick. He cleared a clog infinitely faster than I could have expected!…read more The clog was complicated in that I got a plastic drain snake stuck in the pipe in my attempt, yet Erick was able to completely clear the drain in less than 30 minutes. So, if you're struggling with a backed up drain, do not repeat my mistake! Get in touch with Arch and save yourself, and potentially your drain! I also am thoroughly impressed with the Arch's and Erick's communication and timeliness, which I know is a moving target. Difficult jobs like this just take time. The company was prompt and professional in their response, and then Erick sealed the deal with excellent communication the day before and day of. He arrived exactly at the start of the scheduled window, which was unexpected and so helpful! Thank you Arch, and thank you Erick!! In this case I was the tenant, but if I were the property owner, whatever price they charge for the service is so worth it. I almost busted my hand trying to do this myself, so no sense in being cheap about urgent fixes like these.

I will never use this company again... they have messed by 5+ times, unprofessional and waste…read morecustomers time. A couple months ago we requested someone come out and do the backflow test check for our place. They came out and first time, charged us and "didn't have the right adapters". They were supposed to send someone out and the person never showed up. We called back weeks later to check if the work had been done and it had not. Then they rescheduled us and told us someone was coming the next day. They no showed again. Then we called again... it's been absolutely insane and a waste of time. Unbelievable. this company does not deserve to be in business

Kenny demonstrated very poor communication throughout this experience. He arrived at our home…read morewithout ringing the doorbell or notifying us and began opening and working on our unit without informing anyone. When my partner went outside to check, he found the unit already open and Kenny working on it. When asked for a quote, Kenny said he needed to call the tankless water heater manufacturer to perform a diagnosis. My partner mentioned that the error indicated a venturi valve issue, but Kenny dismissed this and insisted the problem was due to a faulty motherboard. He also repeatedly claimed that previous plumbers were dishonest and had not properly fixed the issue. Kenny stated that parts should be sent directly to the homeowner rather than the contractor. However, after his call with the manufacturer, he told my partner the parts would instead be sent to him. He then quoted $1,200 for the repair and mentioned he would deduct a $300 diagnostic fee--despite never clearly communicating that such a fee would apply, even when asked multiple times. When I called to request a breakdown of the quoted cost, Kenny was dismissive and laughed at me, saying I didn't understand. I simply asked for a detailed explanation of the charges, but he refused to provide one, claiming it was just for labor. He then abruptly stated he would cancel the order and hung up on me. If I could give this company a zero star, I would. ***I need to revise my original review based on what happened after. We reached out directly to Rinnai, and they informed us that they prefer working with a certified Rinnai plumber. When the certified technician came out, he contacted Rinnai and was told that the replacement part had already been sent to Kenny. This directly contradicts Kenny's claim that he had canceled the order. The part is now being shipped to him despite what he told us. When the certified plumber tried to coordinate with Kenny to obtain the part, Kenny hung up on him. Fortunately, the certified Rinnai plumber we worked with was professional, communicative, and clearly explained the situation and next steps needed to fix the issue. He told us upfront he will be charging $450 for the work since it won't take long to install the part (1 hour tops), which is 1/3 of what Kenny quoted. Based on this experience, I strongly recommend avoiding this plumber.

Highly recommend STK Plumbing. Kenny was able to install a new water heater in one day and we could…read morenot be happier with the service.

However, Martin from Affordable Hydro Jetting was able to clear the obstruction from the drain opening, saving us from invasive and costly operations. He was very diligent and thorough throughout the whole process, explaining everything clearly in person and also via his completion report. We could not be more satisfied.

The short review is this: Martin is a wizard! He sucked a 2 lb. Piece of metal out of my main line…read morewith a shop vac, saving me thousands of dollars in repair costs! The details: I called Martin after a clog removal by another company went sideways (probably the topic of a no star review in the future). The first company identified where the problem was, but also caused a spill of sewage inside the house, then quoted me $5k to dig up the pipe and really fix the problem. To no one's surprise, I wasn't happy. So I called AHJ for a second opinion, and Martin answered the call. He spent a good 20 minutes on the phone, asking me detailed questions about the problem, and explaining my options (the other company did none of that). He made no guarantees, but said he thought he could solve the problem, so I asked him to have a look. He was at my house within 3 hours. The line had two objects stuck inside, causing backups. Martin worked to jet out one of the objects out, then used a camera to inspect the entire 80 ft. length of the pipe. The second object was still there, though, and it looked like digging was the only option. However, this is where the real magic happened! The second object was about 12 ft from the clean out, and it was not budging. Martin, however, thinks outside the box. He got out a large shop vac and stuffed the hose down the line. With the help of his camera he aligned the end of the hose with the obstruction and started up the vacuum. It took a while and was not easy work, but Martin eventually pulled out a 8" long, 2 lb. solid steel spring! That's no exaggeration (How that got in there I'll never know). It was Amazing! He also documented everything with his camera and thoroughly explained everything that we could see. So, I now know all about the good, and the bad, of my main sewer line, should any future problem arise. Thank you, Martin, for the exceptional service!
