Have used this company many times in the past. Today it was an issue with the water heater. Ridings promptly responded to my call. Alex came out on time, diagnosed the problem and quickly resolved the issue. Highly recommend this company for your plumbing needs. read more

Yes I am well aware of the other work that was completed and I am happy to pay the labor charges for work well done by a professional plumber. I am happy with the labor. The problem I have with this bill is the cost of the water heater that is listed. It is more than double the amount of what the actual cost of the same exact make and model water heater is (without a contractor's discount). Professional plumber know what water heaters cost and a professional should not charge customers more than double that amount as an "upcharge". I am happy to pay for work well done. I am not at all happy to pay double the cost materials. read more

We had an overwhelming gas smell and gas company turned off our gas like they should have on a Saturday and recommended to call an hvac company which we called and they were so overwhelmed with air conditioning he suggested a plumber and Ridings Plumbing. I called and left a voicemail that day as they were closed and they got back to me at 7:35 that Monday morning and were out by noon ! And waited for Ameren to come and turn the gas back on ! I am so impressed with their promptness in returning my call and coming out that day ! They couldn't have been nicer to the woman who called me back to the plumber that came out ! Outstanding customer service! I feel relieved we now have a plumbing service we can trust if needed in the future !! read more

I can definitely recommend Riding Plumbing. Lou from Riding's came to our home to install a 2nd water meter for our sprinkler system. He was friendly, professional, and did excellent work. I felt very comfortable having him in our home. I would not hesitate to call them again for my next plumbing job. read more

My fault partially but had no idea an estimate was $245. Seems very high. Another place have me a free estimate.

We were looking for a gas line to be installed from our meter to the pool deck heater and this company was very easy to communicate with and they were very flexible from the beginning. They even moved up their work date/time to adjust with Ameren's earlier date, which helped us finished the installation on time! Highly recommend this company!! read more

Extremely unhelpful. Had a plumbing emergency, they took my number and said they would call me right back. 30 minutes later, I had to call them to see if they had the time to help or even call me back. This was a plumbing EMERGENCY! Just for them to tell me they wouldn't have time for me today. Seriously, if someone calls with an emergency, let them know immediately if you can help or not. read more

What a great company! I've called Ridings for multiple jobs ranging from fixing my garbage disposal, replacing the innards of 3 toilets and replacing my water heater. I worked with the polite and knowledgeable office staff, and technicians Jimmy and Lou who know their business well, were professional, efficient and super nice guys (even funny when the moment was right). Prompt, excellent service and the price was right. Ridings Plumbing was featured in Plumbers Magazine (February 2017) for their outstanding service, longevity, and business history. Excellent local company. www.plumbermag.com/how-to-articles/location_advertising_detection_inspection/the_seeds_of_growth read more

TRULY OUTSTANDING !!!! Had a sewer line totally blocked in my basement. Initially called the MW guys and was informed that I would probably need a whole line replacement costing $6413. Thank goodness I found this company (recommended by the city). Brian & Jon showed up promptly same day in (2) well stocked trucks ready to TV, hydrojet, snake machine, etc. These gentlemen never gave up even though my 1959 house had extremely difficult cast iron pipe with a PITA p-trap located in the wall. They spent the better part of the afternoon getting it unblocked and flowing better than ever for $435. Could not be happier !!!!! Shawn (hope I spelled that right), and the very nice office lady were also extremely helpful with the initial consultation as well. You can just tell this company really cares about your problem, will listen, and takes pride in their work. BRAVO !!!! read more

We had them out to give us a quote on a project and they never got back to us with a price. We called 3 different times over the course of a month asking why we hadn't gotten it and each time they said they would get it to us asap. It has been 3 months now and still no quote. Obviously we chose a different company and will never recommend ridings again. Additionally, when they came out to my house to take information for the estimate I asked if they used the existing copper piping or got new for the job. They said they use new piping. Ok, so I asked what they do with the old piping they are removing because I was planning on selling it for scrap since it is worth a decent amount of money. They said they would have to take it and dispose of it. Ok, fine. So would I get a discount off of the total? The guy told me no they don't do that. I asked why. He literally said "the money we get from selling it as scrap usually goes to fund our Christmas party." .....Seriously?! read more

I'm very disappointed in their customer service. Their work was fine (As near as I can tell, I don't know much about plumbing) but it took forever for them to call me back to schedule an appointment, and at the end of the appointment, there was no communication that the work wasn't actually done and they'd have to come back out. Once I discovered that this was the case (by talking to another contractor) it resulted in further delays to my project and added expenses, well beyond what they'd originally quoted me. When I complained about this, they hung up on me. I really feel like they took advantage of me. read more

In February, Ridings put in a new sump pump and got everything up to code. They still needed to trench in a pipe in my backyard. Shawn came out to meet with the two technicians named John and Chris. My questions were answered and the work was done exactly as stated. They were very professional and cleaned up perfectly. I highly recommend Ridings Plumbing. read more

I called them at 9 am on a Monday and they had someone at the house within 90 minutes. My house is old and my pipes are a mess but they worked very hard to find the least expensive option. Their solution cost 1/3 of what Mike Williams proposed. They were polite and very careful. Although they told me that my sidewalk might be destroyed they managed to work around it and they also worked from the alley so my fence was not destroyed. And, most important to me, they were respectful of my cat, who was buried where they worked. They put him aside and reburied him later. It was a little thing that meant the world to me. read more

I called in the morning and they had somebody out in about an hour. Lou did a great job, explained everything and it was very reasonably priced. I'd highly recommend them to anyone. read more

Great customer service. Got to my property quick. Had everything they needed to do the repair in the truck. Thanks, Lou!!

I called Ridings because roto-rooter came and could not get through a block with their eel. I told Ridings I wanted them to video the pipe to see what was wrong and to hydrojet since roto-rooter already tried the eel. Ridings came out and tried the exact same eel that roto-rooter tried for an hour and a half. I asked them if they video'd or hydrojetted and they said they did not bring that equipment. Ended up charging me for the exact thing roto-rooter did and the problem still did not get fixed. read more

I had a leaky pipe in my basement. Had never had to call a plumber before, so I didn't know what to expect. A very nice young man came over and fixed the problem very quickly, and for much less than I thought the job would cost. To say I am pleased is an understatement. I will definitely use Ridings Plumbing if I ever need a plumber again! read more

I was able to get an appointment quickly. They sent a knowledgeable plumber who not only fixed my problem but educated me about some plumbing issues, and the cost was reasonable. I highly recommend them. read more

We had a slow draining main line. Within 2 hours of my first call, Ridings had it fixed. They used the hydrojets. Now my drain line is completely clean - no more slow draining or gurgling. Hydrojets are the bomb when it comes to cleaning the main line. read more

My business, All Pro Floor Care, Inc., recently moved to a new building. After moving in, we discovered that the garbage disposal in the kitchenette did not work. In fact, it did not even have an on/off switch! This caused water to back up when we used our sink. We called Ridings Plumbing and they came out that same day to access our situation. Their recommendation was to replace the garbage disposal, which we decided to do. Lou called our office early the next business day to advised that he was on his way to our office to replace the garbage disposal. When he arrived, my Office Manager was not sure what needed to be done, so Lou called his office to verify the work order. He determined that he would need to install an on/off switch along with the new garbage disposal; and he not only left to get us a switch, he matched it to the fixtures on the sink! Lou returned quickly, and installed our new garbage disposal and the switch. The work was completed promptly and accurately. When he was done, Lou showed us what he had done, and explained how to trouble shoot common garbage disposal issues. He also cleaned up after himself so that the kitchen was a clean when he left as it was when he arrived. Throughout the process, Lou was pleasant and professional. We are very pleased with our new equipment, and even more pleased with the service we received from Lou and Ridings Plumbing. read more
