Power called to let me know when the plumber was on his way during the promised time frame. Work was completed quickly with good explanation and cleanup. Although the plumber (Gus) expressed concern that we might not be able to repair the leak because of corrosion in the disposal, he started by trying to repair the leak and after testing it to be sure that the repair was successful, quoted me cost of replacing the disposal if that became necessary but did not try to pressure me into buying a new disposal.
Description of Work: Repaired leak in pipe from garbage disposal.

The plumber was on time, polite, knowledgable and appears to have done good work. I will use Power Plumbing again for any future plumbing needs. My only (minor) concern is that the dispatcher had told me that their trucks carry PVC pipe and supplies on them. They did not, in fact, have PVC on the truck and the plumber had to run to the hardware store, which increased the cost of the job. This was good work at a good price.
Description of Work: He connected drain pipes to the newly installed sink.

The two people who came out were wonderful! They worked very hard to find a place to rod out from as I don't have an outside line---they also recommended that one be put in. They got up on the roof and looked in several places. They thought there might be a hole in the laundry room and were given permission to break the drywall. It was there that they found a hole from which to rod out. They tried very hard to keep things as clean as possible...much appreciated by me as the basement is finished and this was a disgusting problem. They also bleached the bathroom and laundry room. The price was high, because it was after hours and so I was paying time and a half. But, can you really put a price on someone stopping sewage from getting into your home?
Description of Work: At 8:30 PM on a Thursday night, I found out that there was a clog in my main drain. There was sewage/sludge coming up through a basement bathroom toilet and shower, as well as, through a drain in the laundry room. Power Plumbing sent out two wonderful guys who were able to rod out and clear the clog.

I've used them multiple times since finding them through Angie's List, and they're always very responsive. Price reflects $350 for the part, and they spent a couple hours of labor at around 100-120/ hr.
Description of Work: They had to replace a pump that was causing water to back up from the washing machine in the basement.

They came out and assessed the job, provided a quote, and were able to complete the job in a timely fashion. Our sidewalk was stained when they removed the faulty ejector pump. When I called to see what their policy was re: cleaning up after a job, they returned my call the next day and sent a plumber out who power washed our sidewalk.
Description of Work: We needed to replace or repair a faulty ejector pump in our duplex condominium.

This was the 3rd company I had called and I really should've called them first. The plumber was very courteous, professional and thorough in checking everything and also explaining the issues to me. He gave me viable and cost effective options for fixing our problem, which I appreciated. I was charged the minimum amount for a service call which I thought was reasonable compared to what others had quoted/charged me.
Description of Work: Called them to investigate sewer gas smells in our basement, as well as strange noise from our sump pump.

When I called, the rep listened to my problem, my description of the problem, & my suggestion on parts & equipment that it might take to complete the job. This helped a lot & eliminated him having to go back to get parts. The plumber was great! He took care of my problem (leaking toilet seal) & took the time to make sure it was not leaking any more. I know that this company rated a B for price, but I found their price was very good & the Angie's List discount was also a bonus.
Description of Work: Replaced wax toilet seal with foam seal due to leaking toilet in condo.

Appointment was for 10:00, office called at 7:30 a.m. It's a good thing I am a morning person. James was professional, kind, considerate and efficient. He kept me abreast of what was happening at all times. The overall job tuned out to be more expensive than I thought, but I am very satisfied.

I called to schedule someone to come out due to low water pressure throughout my home. They told me that they would not give me a free estimate and that someone would only come out on a time and materials basis. To make matters worse, they told me that their normal business hours are 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. If you schedule them after 3:30 or on weekends, you pay the "overtime" rate. Who gets home by 3:30 p.m.? I was very disappointed. I don't consider low water pressure throughout my home as a small job and I'm not going to pay someone just to give me an estimate. I called another company.

Power was very good at responding to my calls. Bob the plumber was on time and courteous and professional. He gladly answered any questions I had. Joe the estimator came up with great recommendations as to my situation. His idea's saved on my overall costs as compared to other estimates I received. I am very satisfied and will call on them again.

Power Plumbing was unable to provide the catch basin cleaning we needed. However, they very kindly referred me to another company. I called this company and they were very accommodating. They came out to our home that same week and did the work we needed. Very satisfied with them and Power Plumbing was extremely helpful with this referral.
