The guys came in the same day and fixed the pump. No nonce service, fast, knowledgeable, reasonably priced. Will use them again.

All I can say is wow. I needed many items repaired. They were fantastic. They were quick and kept areas clean. Best plumbers I've ever used.

Dirty Plumber did a great job. They even went above and beyond and spent a little of their own time…read morehelping me fix my basement sump pump. I would highly recommend this plumbing company.

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.

They did not suggest any additional work or leave an estimate for any additional repairs. Three weeks later, the same issue started happening again. I called them, and they came out and charged another $477 to clear the drain and get it working again. They then gave us an estimate of close to $3,700 to fix the problem (and the estimate does not include redoing any concrete). I contacted another well-known plumber who is highly rated in the Reno area and sent them information about what had been done so far, along with the estimate. They let me know that they would have only charged $370 to snake the main drain and would not have charged anything for the follow-up visit. They also said that if the suggested work needed to be done, their estimate would be closer to $3,200. When the plumbing issues first came up, I panicked and picked a name I had heard in commercials. I should have done more research. My dad is retired, lives alone, and is on a fixed income. He has already had to pay too much extra money toward this issue and definitely cannot afford the expensive repair they suggested during the second visit. Since writing my original review above, I have had another company come out in person for a second opinion. They came up with a much more reasonable plan that actually includes replacing the concrete and completing the repair for $1,000 less. Just know that if you are looking for a plumber in Reno, you have other options that are also highly rated and will definitely charge you less.

I want to thank technician, Chris Godwin, for helping us resolve our AC problem involving the NEST…read morethermostat. I mentioned to Chris that something went awry after we tried to secure the cover of the Nest thermostat (it was loose from the wall). The AC had worked before but after doing something with the cover, the AC stopped working. Chris quickly found the problem (a fuse had blown out). Chris was very professional, gave me some ideas on a Honeywell thermostat (we're not BIG fans of the new NEST thermostat), showed me how to read the error codes on our furnace (watch the number of red light flashes and compare it to the brochure left with the furnace). It was easy, peasy, even someone like me who has no HVAC experience could do this. I can't thank Chris enough for his great personality, true professionalism, answered my questions, taught me a few things (learning something new is always good) and even loved on my 2 labs (turns out we both love animals). Thank you, Chris! You're the absolute best! Sierra Air is *very* lucky to have you on their staff.

Corruption at it's finest. I have part of their home program for years paying faithfully. They came…read moreout for a routine AC review and I didn't buy an upgrade they wanted (unit is 6 years old). They then would not certify that my AC unit was working correctly. Within an hour of departure the unit stopped working. They sent same man back that evening, he got it to work then an hour later, no longer working. Next they sent someone else out who said it just had to be our breaker which I doubted. Still I updated new breaker and the AC unit stopped working again. I have asked to speak to manager. The operator takes my messages and I have never received a returned calls, two weeks later still no call. They were suppose to send out an emergency tech. No one has showed up. Called and couldn't get any response other than the woman who answer phone. What a joke. **Update** I am revising my score. I finally received a phone call this morning to discuss my situation and we agreed on the next steps. They were very apologetic but its sad it had to come to this to get a response.

Reno Plumbing Doctor - Residential Water Treatment Systems

Reno Plumbing Doctor

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.

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.

Rich, the owner of the business answered the call and sent Chris out for the quote. Their price was fair and lower compared to another quote and their knowledge of the work that would be required was extensive and much appreciated. They said they could do the job on Monday so I hired them on the spot. Chris showed up promptly Monday morning and spent the day doing an extremely meticulous job on the install. He took his time to make sure the end result would be pleasing to my very picky aesthetic standards as well as operating perfectly. The entire system was tested and working perfectly before I paid a dime. Look no further than Jolly Rooter for a very competent and reasonable plumbing company with excellent and friendly customer service! I will use them for all of my plumbing needs going forward and highly recommend you give them a call if you're here looking for a plumber. Thank you Chris! A+
