Once we agreed to final price and they explained the equipment they use the work was done on the same day.  They worked until about 6:30 pm until the job was done.  The owner then took the time to walk me through how the systems operated and answered any questions that had.  I was very impress that from a phone call at 8 am they were at my house around 10 am and started the work at 10:30 and had it wrapped up by 6:30.

"We are terribly sorry that we wasted your time that is never our intention. I do see that you scheduled an appointment and it was booked. It is to my understanding that we called back right away to tell you that your address is out of our service area. The reason being is because you are located Down town Indianapolis, and our shop is located in Noblesville. We serve all Hamilton County and Northern Indianapolis. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Nate Thornton owner"

Three guys came out and fixed my toilet water hose (two guys training).  They wanted to charge $200 for replacing the hose, but we negotiated down to $100.  The plumber was upset that I didn't seem to understand how much plumbers usually cost, and I was a little uncomfortable.  The coupon was for someone to come over and assess the situation and give a quote.  While assessing my situation, the problem was fixed with  $5 part and 5 minutes of work.  So it was an awkward position I was in because I couldn't really opt out if I thought it was too expensive since it was already done.

Since then, the plumber contacted me and apologized for his attitude as he had been having a very bad day.  They are also getting rid of the coupons because several customers (like me) understood it as a no obligation visit, which is not really in the best interest of their time as professional plumbers.  He mailed me a full refund, and I thought that was very kind.

I bought the tune up for the sump pump because I was pretty certain that my check valve was bad and needed to be replaced.  They took it apart and informed me that I should probably have the pump replaced; which I did at an extra $300.  The problem I had was that the tune-up wasn't done per my satisfaction.  It described replacing the check valve and checking other things like intake and discharge.  Well, they never checked the discharge at the end of the pipe.  I believe the new pump pressure with the good check valve broke my discharge pipe 3 ft below the ground level as water backed up near my house.  I called them back and they came out pretty quickly and that's when we found the end of the pipe plugged up. Once I removed the grass and dirt plugging the pipe, it flowed okay.  I did have to go back and dig up my pipe and replace a broken elbow which took about 6 hours digging by hand.  Not really sure if the new setup broke the pipe; but it was awfully coincidental that it happened that day.  I had a slight disagreement that I believed that since the tune-up stated that they would check the discharge, they would make sure water flowed all the way out of the house and out the end of the pipe.  Their contention was that they only checked to make sure the pump was pumping water, which it was.  Unfortunately, it was pooling directly next to my house as there was a broken line and water didn't flow all the way out.  The good news was that they refunded my initial tune-up fee.

I purchased a $35 certificate from Angie's List for a service call.  The job was an leaky spigot - we recently replaced the parts ourselves but there is still an occasional small leak.  Really wanted someone to take a look at what we'd done and fix it.
I was quoted $189 for the plumber to even unscrew the cap to look at it.  His recommendation without examining it was to replace the spigot for $375. Or I was given the option of paying $189 and then and additional $375 if it needed to be replaced.  I was told that I would get my $35 dollars as credit if that were the case.  So potentially this occasional drip could have cost $534.  I'm quite certain that the plumber would have found that I "needed" a new spigot. 
Sorry Angie's List - but I feel like the $35 was a bait and switch tactic.  Very disappointed.
Response from Whiskey Creek Plumbing

"This customer bought a $35 coupon for a service call. We normally charge $49 for a service call. A service call consists of us coming out to someone's home, and looking at there problem, and give professional advice on how to solve the problem, and give a price to fix or replace. In this case the customer had a handy man over to fix a builder grade cheep outside hose bib. The customer explained to us that they had it fixed by the handy man and it only lasted for a week or so. We explained that the seat in the hose bib was bad and it was wearing out the rubber inside the hose bib. Again this a builder grade cheep hose bib, and it was not worth the money to even have us try to fix it. When a hose bib is acting the way she describe it is unfixable. We were trying to save her money. We explained that if we go though the motions to try to fix the hose bib that it was going to cost her $189 or we could replace it for $371. I have 15years experience as a plumber. This customer was unreasonable person which we run into from time to time. She was not willing to even listen to our advice. She even asked us "how do I know that I can trust you guys." She explained that she paid a handy man to fix the last hose bib, and it cost $100.00. We explained that we are NOT a handy man we are PROFESSIONAL PLUMBERS. Taking into consideration that she had never hired a plumber before and misread the coupon we have offered her a refund of her $35. I got the feeling when I was there that this was going to happen form the way that she was treating us. I think that we will be taking down the chance to save money from Angie's list because we keep on getting bad reviews from unreasonable people that want something for nothing. We are sorry to those customers out there that want to save money on our service call, but we can no longer go on dealing with this type of customer."

I called on Wednesday and got an appointment for the following day. They called me when they were on their way to my house Nate was earlier than they anticipated, but it worked out great. HE figured out the issue and had it fixed in about 20 minutes. They were at my house a total of 30 minutes probably and that included testing the pipes after finishing just to confirm no more leaking. Cost was fine for what they did and I would call them again if I ever need a plumber!

It was a yet another dark and stormy night in Central Indiana when we heard the disturbing silence of a non-functioning sump pump in the crawl space.  A quick calculation of the pump's age,( ancient), brought us to Angie's List for recommendations.  Thornton Plumbing  was top rated AND had a coupon. A message, a prompt reply, and Nate  was at our door with his crew the next day. New sump place in place and ready to take on more rainy days.  Thank you, Nate; the pump is purring as I write this!

Initially I found him to be very professional, but after second contact I found his unwillingness to own up to his mistake very frustrating and unprofessional.
Response from Whiskey Creek Plumbing

"[removed member's name] called my company and asked that we change out her water heater told us it was leaking. We showed up at the appointment time. I agreed that her water heater needed to be changed. Its an electric water heater so its not like a gas water heater where it is OBVIOUS if it is leaking or not. Which we believed her request because there was water all over her floor by the water heater. We are a honest Plumbing company we will not take advantage of anyone. Some Plumbing companies would have NOT told her about her warranty, but we did. There was an upgrade charge on warranty water heaters now a days due to the new Water Heater LAW passed by CONGRESS APRIL 15 of 2015 she was told all this upfront. [removed member's name] is RIGHT on one thing that we did make a MISTAKE it was her FURNACE that was leaking all over the floor. We are a PLUMBING Company NOT Heating and AIR company. I have run into this before, but it is a RARE occurrence. The next day we came back to her house and fixed the problem for FREE. We talked to [removed member's name] on the phone today she demanded her money back, and said that if she did not get her money back she would post a BAD review. We offered her $75 back We also Fixed HER PROBLEM FOR FREE. She refused the $75back. We are all about being fair but her request was unreasonable to us. [removed member's name] Now has a NEW TOP OF THE LINE ELETRIC WATER HEATER, A THERMAL EXPANSION TANK, AND HER FURNACE DRAIN LINE CLEANED FOR $975.00 NOT A BAD DEAL. I don't know what else to say to this, but WE DID THE RIGHT THING."

"Upon notice of this review, we were immediately concerned. We received a C for overall grade, and had NO description of the work preformed. Later investigation revealed, we had no record of doing ANY work for this specific customer. We have checked all records of jobs preformed, and still cannot find the customer name or address. If this customer exists, it would sound like they paid for a coupon for a 35$ service call. According to Angies List records. This customer did not like our price. We apologize."

Every plumber that we talked to had extremely expensive options to get the problem solved, things we could not afford.  But Thornton presented a more cost effective option for re-routing and re-piping.

"We came out and met with the customers Mother. Who was a very nice lady. She informed us, that her son "The Customer," had purchased an ACE HARDWARE battery back-up sump pump. At no time did we ever refer to her product as "No Good," we simply informed her that there were better quality, professional, reliable products available. We gave a quote on putting the customers battery back up sump pump, or installing a far superior product, at a reasonable price. We apologize if our prices were not up to your standards."

I had a coupon for a certwin amount off, but wasn't given an estimate of the total cost of the service call before hand. It wound-up costing much more than I expected. The plumber did give me good suggestions. The whole service call took less than an hour.
