Water Heater - Install or Replace
Ernie T is the man, saved me from days with no hot water. Quick response, professional work, clean install, great price. Ernie is friendly, and a top notch professional. Would recommend over and over.

There were able to get to us quickly as we were unable to use any water. The plumber quickly found the problem that was easily fixed.

Ernie sent me a message quickly after I submitted my request for 3 quotes on a Saturday evening. I talked with him Monday and he told me exactly how much he would charge for the work that was needed. He came, did excellent work and charged exactly what we agreed on. No hassles. I will definitely hire him the next time I need plumbing work done!

Cleaned our main drain which another plumber claimed needed to be replaced. No problem for a year since Cobra serviced it.

The team did a great job, and quickly. They had to dig up the front landscaping but did a decent job cleaning up after the installation. The price was very good when compared to other quotes I received.

I received a call back within the hour of requesting a quote. One company never called and the other called the next day. I received a straight up quote from Cobra Plumbing Service in Abingdon, MD- very reasonable and an appointment the very next day. The gentleman who responded went right to work, completed as promised, no issues and at the quoted estimate. No bs. Just honest work at a fair price. I will call them back should I need additional plumbing services.

It went great, Ernie and his team were on time, and they coordinated with the local water utility, inspector, and service locator. The work he did was better than expected, and a great value as he was already 30% cheaper than the other quotes i received. As it happens we had another contractor there to looks at doing some upgrades, and Ernie chimed in to help explain what she couldn’t. We will be using them for anything the can do in the future!

After reading a lot of the reviews, I called Ernie on 410-803-2850 on Friday afternoon and spoke to him directly. (He says calling is much better than emailing for quick response!). 1. He advised I buy a Moen faucet prior to his arrival, and quoted an installation price. 2. He talked me out of upgrading my Badger 5, said he keeps Badger 5s in stock, and quoted a complete unit-with-installation price. 3. As I had already made sure that easy plumbing hookup and electrical outlet were installed during my remodel, he quoted a modest installation cost for the bidet toilet seat. We agreed on terms and set up installation date for noon Monday (non-emergency). He arrived timely, and went to work, remaining pleasant throughout. We were very pleased with his both his work and his conduct, and his price was reasonable. We then had him assess 2 other potential plumbing projects (replace a sink and install a Liberty SJ10 Sumpjet [water-powered backup sump pump]), and we plan to rehire him for both. It was a pleasure doing business with Ernie.

Total rip off. Stay away. Took out permit on my town home to check gas pressure. Called me the next day that gas pressure has failed said that inspector came out and sprayed the fittings (BTW inspectors don't spray fittings, they are not allowed to do so) He gave me 2 options $2200 to replace all gas lines or $9000 to convert everything to electric. PROOF ATTACHED. Turns out he used a faulty gauge to test the gas pressure. I had another plumber come out and everything passed with flying colors and he only charged me $250!

"I love how you try to continue your slander campaign against my company. None of your accusations are true. You fail to mention how you had and unlicensed plumber come in under my permit and work on your gas system. And after that I refused to do anything else because I would not take responsibility when someone else when on your gas lines. Originally when the air test was performed on the very old gas system, it had multiple leaks in a finished ceiling . I tightened what fittings i had access to. I gave you a price to install a new gas main with a manifold. Thats when you had someone else come in under my permit and work on the system. You then got upset because I wouldn’t release the permit. Sorry but if someone is killed due to a gas leak it falls back on me so that’s why I wouldn’t. You can take your slander complain and go elsewhere. My body of work and reputation are fantastic in the community . One bully that did not get her way will not tarnish my name especially with false information and lies"

Great. I got an estimate to replace a kitchen and a bathroom faucet. I bought the faucets and called them and they came out the next day and had both replaced in under an hour. I would hire them again without question.

My grandson threw a cup down the toilet and we couldn't get it out.Cobra came out the same day. The plumber had to really work to get it out eventually taking off the toilet. I was expecting him to say we needed a new toilet. He didn't give up though. Eventually her got the cup out. The amount charged was very fair and reasonable.

They were able to break up the concrete of our townhome’s parking pad, dig six feet, remove the cruised sewage feed pipe to the city’s main line, and replace with denser, higher quality pipe in a day.

Our water heater failed in the evening and new one was installed next day. The price that was quoted on the phone was a little higher, but overall it was a little lower than Plumbcrazy. Was very happy with Cobra Plumbing. Thank you!

Everything went well. Mr. Tyler was very professional and did a great job with the repair and clean up. He had to cut through the drywall to repair the leak, and cleaned everything up once finished with the repair. The cost was reasonable and I was even given a discount for being a first time costumer.

Ernie at Cobra Plumbing earned repeat business from me. He tackled a challenging project replacing 70-year-old leaky fittings and pipes that did not want to be removed. I hired him back to replace equally ancient toilets that had been causing problems. The projects went more or less without a hitch, and when there were any issues or questions, he resolved them quickly. He was agreeable and reliable to work with. I thought his prices were reasonable and his work excellent. His cleanup is better than most. He is a solo act and his professionalism reflects that of a business owner. If I have future plumbing needs, he's a the top of my list.

This is the second time I have used Cobra Plumbing. They replaced a gas water heater several years ago and I was very pleased with the install. This time around my experience with Cobra did not go as well as I expected. I contacted them to replace leaky shutoff valves to my kitchen faucet and my washing machine. Ernie, the owner, was very responsive and gave me an estimate over the phone. He arrived at the scheduled time and proceeded to do the work. Though he did answer any questions I had, he seemed to be somewhat annoyed with me watching him work. He ran into trouble attempting to replace the washing machine shutoff valve, which was frozen, and ended up breaking the cpvc water supply line. He then had to replace the entire laundry shut off box/valve assembling in the wall which meant cutting out a good portion of the drywall surrounding the box. I knew there was a possibility that if the existing valve could not be removed, then a new assembly would need to be installed. I have two minor quips about the work performed. First is that in replacing the valves he used a ratcheting pipe cutter, instead of the cutting wheel type, so the edges of the cpvc pipe at the unions were jagged. This may be acceptable trade practice but it is not the preferred method if there is room to use a compact wheel cutter or small hacksaw which makes a cleaner cut. The second is that he did not offer to clean up after his work, to mop up the water in the basement or vacuum up all the drywall dust left behind.
Response from Cobra Plumbing Services
"Hi [Member Name Removed]. I’m sorry you weren’t pleased. I did inform you the Possibility of replacing the wash box was very real. Also you are incorrect in various ways of cutting cpvc . There’s no such thing as a cutting wheel to cut Cpvc And the only tall used to cut Cpvc is what I use. I did clean up after myself so I’m not sure what you mean by saying I didn’t . I hope it’s working out well for you. Ernie Cobra Plumbing"
