Although we had a secondary back-up in line, this two was really struggling given all the recent rain. We called a few plumbers in the area who were supposed to have 24hr emergency service but Dependable Sewer was the only one who had someone to answer the phone. We explained our situation and we were quickly connected with a plumber, Derrick. He arrived to our home within 30 minutes and even though it was now after 2am, he was both jovial and professional. Derrick was able to replace our sump and get everything up and running very quickly. An overall stressful situation was resolved and we are very pleased with the responsiveness and quality of service. Thank you for all the help and we will definitely look to you for our plumbing needs in the future.
(As an aside the two other "24hr" emergency plumbers have yet to call back even though we left messages. If we waited for them for service we would be dealing with a flooded basement right now....)
We purchased a new dishwasher to replace the one that came with the house when we purchased it 12 years ago. It was an obvious DIY job. The old plumbing was a Gordian Knot of PVC and rubber hoses and some really badly done expansion fittings under the sink, behind and underneath the old dishwasher and in the basement. Josh had done an emergency repair to our kitchen plumbing at Christmastime this past December and quoted me a reasonable price at that time for the upgrade and corrections he anticipated needed to be done if we planned on installing a new dishwasher.
As expected, Dependable Sewer told me exactly when I could expect the work to be done, how long it would take and how much it would cost. These guys are efficient, knowledgeable, experienced, polite professionals. Their specialty is sewer repair and cleaning but they are licensed and insured plumbers. They can do it all. They said they respect the territories of local plumbers and don't advertise as plumbers so as not to step on anyone's toes but if asked to do a plumbing job anywhere in the service area they will respond quickly and efficiently to get the job done to the customer's satisfaction. They have service outlets in Bay City, Midland, Saginaw and Standish. I can't give Dependable any higher recommendation than to say I wouldn't turn to anyone else than them to do plumbing in my house. This is the second time in the past 5 months I have turned to Dependable Sewer for their expertise as plumbers. They have been in business for a long time, are top notch service providers and guarantee all of their work.
.I had been in contact with several other area plumbers (Superior in Cass City) and plumbing contractor houses (Shetler in Pigeon, MI; Kundinger and Kroll in Sebewaing and Shelby Mechanical, LLC) before calling Dependable in Bay City. All of the others either didn't want to drive the distance to do the job, were too busy already with other work and could not give me a time they would be able to do the work or made promises to return my phone calls and failed to do so or took my call with a promise to get back with me later in the day about when they would show up but again failed to do so.
But Dependable not only were ready to accept the job they asked me when I wanted them to start!!! They then gave me a time to expect them TODAY and met every other criterion I can think of a business that appreciates being able to make their customers happy.
I was quite pleased-- even impressed-- with the ability of this service person to get the job done exactly as advertized. I have a house probably built back in the 1920's and a lot of DYI work has been done by previous owners. Most of it very amateurishly done and often incorrectly using whatever parts they could scrounge up. My drains in the kitchen are a "gordian knot" of elbows and t's of pvc compression fittings and it lacks a vent of any kind. Also, the traps are nearly corroded through and the dishwasher is not properly connected to the garbage disposal. The plumber when he had finished clearing my drains and verifying that no other emergency repairs were needed outlined what work he would see performed were the kitchen his own. He wrote it up as an estimate and priced the job quite reasonably
.
I plan on having Dependable Sewer Service back next Thursday or Friday to do all of the recommended follow-up work.
