One toilet needed parts, the other needed line replaced. They did the back flow test and sent the certification to the city (very nice to not have to worry about mailing it myself). 
We call them for all repairs and for annual back flow test. They are extremely knowledgable, professional and reasonably priced.
I have never been disappointed.

It's a family business and the wife was away, so the "office" functions were suffering.  But they explained and apologized that they didn't answer immediately. So, I give them a pass on that. Glad I did.  They did a great job and it was very reasonable. I'll use them again!

Service went well. Was familiar with the heat-pump style water heater so he was able to determine what the problem was. Advised me to get a new one rather than try to repair the new one that wasn't working. I called and got a new one and Ron came back to install it.

When I initially made appt. over the phone, the gal in the office made me feel confident that the appt. was solid and they wouldn't forget about me (called on a Friday and appt. wasn't until Tuesday the next week.) Tuesday arrived and gal in the office called me that morning to let me know that her guys were working on an emergency call, and she would call again when they were on the way to my house.  She did!!  I just had a general AC maintenance, but was impressed that the service guys took apart the entire unit and cleaned it thoroughly.  They also found a screw that had been put in wrong, and was blocking the flow of water to the drip pan.  Not only that, but completely cleared all the over grown grass that around the unit, and put it in a nice pile for me to dispose of.  They also rewound my hose, and put it back the way they found it.  I've used other companies that were there for 15 minutes or less, and said that everything was ok.  Vail may have been a bit more expensive than other companies, but there is a saying that is not always true, "You Get What You Pay For."  In this case, it was true.  Good work guys!!

alled because my toilet stopped filling and then was leaking on the floor on a Sunday.  He gave me a reasonable estimate of when he would arrive and then called when he was on his way.  He fixed everything efficiently and called me in to go over everything that needed to be done in detail.  He was extremely professional and I would definitely use him again.Ch

We chose them because they have cameras and this was the 3rd company we had out. They did not even have to camera the line.  We described in detail the problem we were experiencing and after an exhaustive search, he found the problem was something that had dropped into the vent. We are soooooooooooooo happy!

It was Friday evening, after 6pm, so I was expecting to have to wait and for it to be very expensive. Called and the person who answered the phone took my number and within five minutes called me back to tell me the repair person was on the way. They arrived in about 15 minutes, inspected the problem and determined all it was a capacitor on the fan unit. I was a little nervous because the repairman was so young (Jason), but he was knowledgeable, polite and professional as he troubleshot the unit. He had the part on his truck and in 15 minutes the AC was running again. Next time we have a problem this is the business I will call.

They were very prompt. The office person that I had originally spoken with kept in contact with me to keep me informed of when the tech would arrive and he did arrive in that time window. The tech (Jason) was very efficient, knowledgeable and promptly found the problem and had the part needed with him in the vehicle. He then checked for any other potential problems and found none. I will definitely call Vail with any future service issues.

Always saw the store front on RT 50 in Clermont, FL and then saw the great reviews on here. Pulled in to discuss getting softener system installed in the house. Showed me the unit and later that day visited my property to discuss plans and installation. Worked up a quote and met with me again a few days later to finalize details and pricing. Two days later came home to find system completely installed. It was a pleasant surprise, but glad that it got done so quickly. Ron and Kathy were nothing but helpful and willing to work with me. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who asks for plumbing work.

He was very friendly, helpful, and he did the job very professionally. He had to order a part and as soon as the part came in, he let me know and came back to install the line for the faucet. He checked to see whether there were any other problems with my sink.

Vail Plumbing arrived, turned off water at main. Shut off water from spigot. Turned water on. Said I needed two new spigots.
1/10/12
Driver pulled into my driveway, driving on grass over lawn sprinklers. I asked him to move and voiced concerns regarding possible sprinkler damage. Replaced 2 outside spigots.
Sprinklers were on auto timer. 
Early Spring I noticed my new sod was dying. Upon inspection, I found sprinklers would not run. I called my sprinkler service to have them inspected my system.
Findings:
- The valves to the sprinkler system were almost completely shut off    
- There was dirt and debris inside the valves in the zone 6 rotors
- Water had been turned off
- Valves were cross threaded when turning them back on
- Unable to take off the valves water was shut off to a trickle
As a result from doing business with Vail Plumbing,  I incurred the following charges for sprinkler service and repairs:
- $55.00 service call 
- $80.00 for a new valve
- $19.30 for 2 new 6? pop-ups
- Not to mention my new $2,000.00 sod dying due to the sprinklers not functioning.
I wrote Vail Plumbing on May 10, 2012 detailing the aforementioned , to date, I have NOT received any verbal or written communication from Vail Plumbing

The plumber arrived on time. He had a young boy with him that also worked for the company.  They took off their shoes each time they came into the house which was nice as it was raining. He removed the faucet and found that the o ring was busted.  He went out to his truck and then came back in and told me that he did not have an o ring that was that size and would have to go and get one.  He left and returned in about 30 minutes.  He replaced the o ring and the leak stopped.  I also asked him to fix a handle that had come loose in my bathroom vanity.  He also repaired it in about 15 minutes.  The plumber and the boy went out to the truck and returned in 5 minutes and presented me with a bill for 134.00.  129.00 for labor and 5.00 for the o ring.  I would guess he spent just over an hour on the job.  I haven't used a plumber in about 7 years so I don't know if 129.00 is normal or not.  5.00 for one o ring seemed a little high to me.
They were polite and did correct the problems.
Response from R L Vail Plumbing

"We are very sorry that the truck that arrived at your job was not stocked with the proper o ring. From time to time that does happen. We can assure you that you were not charged extra for the time it took to go get the correct parts."

Called Vails Plumbing and requested service. Employees (2) were here within 20 minutes. Immediately began inspecting and clearing clogged drains. Employees were professional and efficient. I have used Vails several times in the past and they have always done a good job for me. I would recommend them to anyone. R Peals

This was work was contracted out to 5 Star Services who were very nice and helpful.  I still wasn't receiving enough hot water 2 weeks later and called Bobby of 5 Star back.  He was out the next day to fix it for me.  Was hoping the price would have been a little cheaper but was very satisfied with the service.
Response from R L Vail Plumbing

"5 Star Service is a division of RL Vail Plumbing Inc. It was a pleasure doing business with this customer."
