When I contacted mr. Dunbar and told him that my kitchen sink was clogged he knew exactly what the problem was. He was very knowledgeable and explained to me why I was having the problem and how we could fix it. He unclogged the drains and put in a drain clean-out. I was very happy with the work he performed and we will only call him in the future.

Steve did a great job fixing our problem. We have an old house. He was familiar with the houses in our area and the older plumbing. Our toilet had been leaking for a very long time. He was replaced the old toilet and the rotting wood underneath it. He was very affordable!!
Response from HC DUNBAR PLUMBING
"Thank you for the great review, and someone who deserves a ton of credit (and respect) was your husband. His efforts of moving all my equipment/materials and tools up the steps and back down. That was a ton of work, and it made such a difference. He worked with me the entire time making cuts to the new floor, bringing tools when I needed them. It certainly made the effort of making this repair go a great deal faster and more efficient."

Called him today on Saturday morning of a this Holiday weekend. Called back told us when he could be here. Came out, really had to work to get our drain unclogged.
Did a great job and was a really nice guy. We've found a plumber that we will call with all of our issues in the future.

HC Dunbar was the third plumber I contacted about a dripping issue from my upstairs bath/tub into the kitchen ceiling. I described the problem in a message through Angie's List and he suggested pouring a pitcher of water onto the overflow plate to see if the leak showed up instantly. It didn't but the idea that the water was getting behind that wall made sense. We took a magnifying glass to the tile above the plate and faucet and saw some tiny slits between the tile. When we sprayed water on the slits, the drip started. The other plumbers who had come out and viewed the situation for over an hour, kept thinking it was a pipe issue even though it was not leaking from the pipe but around the pipe. Thanks to HC Dunbar for the great advice. We will definitely use them in the future.
Response from HC DUNBAR PLUMBING
"Thank you for the kind review regarding your experience with our company. I make a diligent effort through advice to help in regards to pinpointing a problem prior to arrival. In your descriptive statements, it led instantly to believing that the leak was tracing the piping before the piping leaking itself. We recommend a pliable 100% aquarium grade silicone between the tiled wall and the tub to make a positive seal. Tile setters make the mistake of grouting the wall to the tub, not understanding the free movement needed long term."

It went fine. I've worked with Mr. Dunbar before - he is very responsive and courteous, and he tries hard not to spend more money on the job than you need him to. He explained everything he did and showed me how to unstick the drain plugs myself if the the problem occurred again. He showed me the inside of thekitchen faucet and how it had started to break down and needed new parts.(The faucet was sticking - wouldn't move back and forth easily and the sprayer would stay in the extended position.) All the work was done in about an hour and a half. He's a bit chatty but he won't overcharge you.
I would definitely hire him again.

He was very thorough, very helpful and accommodated our hours that we are available; he came in the evening because we are not there during the day. He was very good about explaining things, fixed some problems and made some good suggestions on other issues. He was not very pushy and I appreciate him a lot. The price was pretty reasonable.

He came and installed the water heater and had to come back for some other things. He was good to work with. The price was normal. He was here when he said he would, but he was ill a couple of days. Everything is working fine.

Steve has been extremely professional and comes when you need him (even on a Saturday night). His work is always done at or above code and is very reasonable. We have used him numerous times and will continue to use him in the future. We could not be happier with the quality of his work.

I have used HC Dunbar Plumbing for 7 years. He is very thorough and explains what he is going to do and the cost of everything. He is very good.

The hot-water valve went quickly, but the Moen faucet gave Steve a fit. It would not come apart easily, required a special tool to remove the faucet cartridge (which Moen failed to send with the cartridge that we ordered and which Steve had to create on the spot by cutting and shaping a copper pipe) and then found that Moen had sent the wrong replacement cartridge. He then put the unit back together, left for the day, made a special trip to pick up the right cartridge for us, came back a couple of days later and fixed it. Only charged us for a fraction of the time that he'd put in. He even left the tool he'd made so that we'd have it in the future.

Steve arrived the same day and quickly used his sophisticated equipment to find the tool. He used a video camera that he snaked down the pipe. I wanted to try and do it my self so Steve advised me on possible methods of retrieval. I tried several times but was unable to get it. I called Steve again and he returned again promptly to assist me. We were able to get the tool. Steve is very professional and very capable. He has very sophisticated equipment and knows how to use it to get results fast. He advised me on toilet replacement and methods to assure success. Great experience. Definitely call Steve whenever I have a plumbing issue.

They liked his honesty and willingness to work with them. He has been very good to them. They are older and they trust him. He did not charge us until the whole job was done.

Called and left message and Steve responded within 10 minutes and said he would be available within 2 hours. Steve arrived at the time he had estimated. Water leak was fixed with no problems.

From the first day I contacted Steve, to the day he finished and left, I had no problems with this job or with him. Steve has done work for me in the past, and this call was no different. He came on time and was prepared for the job. He called to remind me of my appt a few days before and called again on the day of the appt, to let me know he might be a little late since one of the other jobs was running later than anticipated. He also takes his time, answers any questions you may have, gives suggestions, and cleans up afterwards. He will not try to sell you something he doesn't see as necessary to the project at hand and leaves with the reminder that if you have any problems, to please give him a call. Although this product ROOTX is relatively easy for a homeowner to do themselves, Steve has no problem with stopping by and doing this "small" job himself as a courtesy for the customer.

Have used Dunbar before and was very satisfied. Once again, Steve was very professional and polite and did exactly what we asked him to do. The one thing he shows more than any other service contractor we have ever used is he really seems to care about his work. His reputation really matters to him. That's hard to find these days. The price seemed fair enough considering all he did. I absolutely will call Dunbar in the future.

It went great! Steve worked us in to his busy schedule. He was very professional and explained every step of what he was doing, and he didn't mind that I asked questions. Steve explained what needed to be done, and took the time to do the work properly. I will definitely call him for future plumbing needs, and I recommend him highly!

Steve is very knowledgeable in his field, knows products, and is well versed in plumbing code. He takes his time and double-checks his work. He went out of his way to track down a particular faucet for us, and it is working out nicely. While working he noticed that two showers fixtures needed caulking and did this along with replacing a malfunctioning toilet tank flapper (I don t think that he even charged for these items). He has no problem answering questions, either about the project on which he is working or plumbing questions in general. You can have confidence that the completed job will be done correctly.

I came up to visit my parents in the Cincinati area only to find out one of their toilets was still leaking and therefore had been turned off. With 4 of us there, I decided to take matters into my own hands and contact a plumber. I quickly "added another city" to my Angie's List account and immediately I had at my fingertips access to all the good plumbers in the area. I chose the one who had the most A ratings. Steve from Dunbar Plumbing was able to come out the morning after Thanksgiving. He gave us good tips on what to do and what not to do, he was honest, and even gave my parents the senior discount. He also reused one of the parts to help save money. I will make sure my parents and local siblings have his contact info so they can use him for their future plumbing needs.

It went very well and I would hire Steve for any future plumbing problems. He is neat in his work and very willing to share his knowledge to tell me exactly what he thought I should do and how everything would work. I also asked him about other work I needed to have done. He took his time and explained everything to me and I was very satisfied with his work and his knowledge. I have scheduled him again to complete the remaining plumbing projects.
