The service was great. He fixed a leaky outside faucet. It was a quick fix with no issues.

Pros: the plumber showed up on time, was courteous and completed the job quickly. Cons: requested to finish off my new bathroom by installing the sink, faucet, toilet, and shower head. The install was completed but the finishing touches were not done. The sink was not glued to the vanity and the toilet was not caulked. When I asked the plumber if he was going to do this work, he stated that he did not have any of the adhesive or caulk and that the toilet could not be caulked anyways. This left me finishing the job on my own, toilet caulking included.
Response from B & L Plumbing Service Inc
"Thank you for your feedback. We checked through our notes and reviewed the estimate Paul gave you. He had not bid to install the sink itself, but just to install the faucet, shower trim, and toilet. He did complete all of those repairs for you. We typically do not caulk around toilets, because if and when the seal may fail, the water could get trapped underneath and cause a good bit of additional damage before you are even aware of the issue. As far as the glue for the sink, the technician had not bid for or installed the sink itself. We hope this clears up your concerns. Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any additional questions."

Mr E. Came out to do the job. We discussed the job, knowing it was going to take at least 20 ft of pipe to complete the job. Its an open ceiling due to a leak from our refrigerator water/ice line. Drywall parts are everywhere on the floor. He didn't have the parts for it, so we had to wait 2 weeks for parts delivery which is Flex Pipe. He came out, did the job but made several mistakes. 1). From the water supply line he installed the water valve. The water valve was on the upside down position causing it to be pushed up by the new drywall when it will be installed stretching the threads out of the brass fitting on the pipe. 2). He only had 2 - 8 feet flex pipe, the flex pipe connector had to be drywalled over. 3.) Also, Only 16 feet of the flex pipe causing him to do as much short cuts as he could, therefore instead of running it the correct way, he ran it bypassing a hole in the joist, screws it underneath the joist causing it to be in the drywall way Again. 3). The frig could only be pulled out 6 inches from the wall for him to hook up frig. 4.) He didn't install a hammerhead keeping frig from knocking when getting water. 5.) He didn't install the cut off valve behind frig. 6.) 1 week later, I called B & L Plumbing, I talked to his boss Mr. J. He came out, looked at the job & agreed to have Mr. E. to do the job at a satisfaction level. 1 week later, again I spoke to Mr. J. 1 day before Mr. E. comes out, to confirm all the work that is needed for satisfaction & he fused hard at me for calling him, saying I got this i got this! I continued to read my 4 point list of expectations. He tells me they don't install cut offs valves behind refrigerators, I told him, ok but Mr E. took the last one off, I have it here, I was gonna say all he has to do is install this one on, Mr. J. got so mad that he cut me off in conversation saying he's gonna do me a favor this time... He did agree to have him install the hammerhead but when Mr. E. came out he didn't know about the added installations & had to call Mr. J. to install the cut off valve behind the frig because he knew nothing about it. Mr. E. Left my house & had to go to the hardware store to buy the parts needed. 7.) Mr. E. finished the job installed on off valve behind the refrigerator, but not the hammerhead. Mr. E. apologies for his mistakes, my wife & I Appreciated that, I give Mr. E. 5 Stars for that. I believe Mr. E. is a Good man, Good worker, that made some mistakes. I believe that he did Good by coming back out to reconcile the matter, I believe he finished the job with quality, but his boss Mr. J. is like a bad dog off the chain with a snappy attitude. When he came to my house evaluating Mr. E. work, I felt a little uncomfortable about his jokes & picking on me points, we couldn't stick to the point of - his presence for the problem. I wish the owners knew so to have Mr. J. Call me relating that he will have the hammerhead installed & I will therefore give a better rating.

B&L got us in quickly to unclog a drain, and they were great about communication - calling us back, and letting us know when they were coming. I thought their price for cleaning out a drain was more than fair. Dalainey was a great technician - he helped me understand what the problem was, and gave me options of what could be done. I will definitely call them again!

Waylon was so quick I thought he was going to have to come back. It's a great feeling when the repairs are completed the same day. Walon is a "master" at what he does. Love this company the ladies on the phones are quite pleasant as well. Carol, Carey and Christy (sp) thanks to all for a good experience.

I had a clogged lateral drain line under my basement. Vince, the technician, showed up on time, was very personable right from the beginning. He ran the line for awhile and couldn't break through the clog. We were discussing the $$$$ to dig up floor and replace drain line. He decided to give it one more try and a few minutes later he managed to break through; saving me thousands of dollars. I can't say enough nice things about the professionalism of B&L.

He had both starters in working order in less than an hour. I thought I would need to replace one of the fireplaces but he spent time working to restore it and got it to work. So nice to have 2 of our fireplaces in working order before the bone chilling cold of KC hits.

James and Bill were great. We did a big job that required and track hoe, working in a tight space and all while my wife’s office window was about one foot from where they were working. They were very easy to work with, communicated with mw very well and are very good at what they do. Will definitely work with them again.

The technician, Jason, very quickly fixed the problem. We were presuming the shut off valve would have to be replaced, but Jason was able to repair it instead. He was friendly and helpful and so was his assistant, Delaney. We’ve used B & L Plumbing Service several times forr other plumbing problems and they’ve always resolved the issues quickly and professionally. Kerri, who answered the phone, was also very friendly and scheduled an appointment that worked for us. B & L Plumbing rocks! Bob & Deb Kueck

There was no cost to us for this service because we have this insurance; we pay a hundred and some dollars every year, and every time we have a problem, they come out and fix it for free. The quality was wonderful, all fine.

I was "assigned" to this company through my warranty company that came with my house that we just bought 2 weeks ago. I have had 2 plumbing issues immediately and was charged $75 for EACH issue by this company and they did NOTHING for either. I called B&L because we had a sewer backup (at least 4 in of standing sewage in our basement) on a Monday and told them it was an emergency and that we couldn't use any facilities. They tell me nobody can come until Wednesday... Guy finally shows up and tells me he can't "walk through sewage to work" and says I'll have to have it pumped, which is crap because that's why I called a plumber. Then he left and said he would have to submit this info to the warranty company before he could do anything. After chasing both companies around in circles, B&L told me it would cost $4,800 to remove our house trap because they couldn't do anything with it there. I decided this had to be ridiculous and I gave up and I called Roto-Rooter and the guy came over and found out the clog was IN our housetrap and cleared the issue in less than 5 minutes. I paid B&L $150 to do absolutely NOTHING. This company is a ripoff, at least if you are working with them through a warranty company. They will do everything they can to not do any work and still charge you for it. Just call Roto-Rooter.
Response from B & L Plumbing Service Inc
"B & L Plumbing Service does work with home warranty companies, which sometimes leads to misunderstandings. As a third party, we provide our service report and photos if needed, and the home warranty service dictates how we may proceed. There are certain steps and procedures which must be followed whenever we work through a home warranty company. In addition, the home warranty company requires a service fee be paid for each claim placed, per their contract with the homeowners. Regarding the stoppage, a house trap is not an accessible cleanout approved by the home warranty company. The claim for the leak is still open. The home warranty company requested that the homeowner make access in the ceiling before additional diagnosis and repairs can be completed. B & L Plumbing Service will return to service this claim after the access is made."

The work they did didn't pass my city's inspection code and that was more than 6 months ago and the company has been  unresponsive. And then once it did come back, unwilling to do further work to pass inspection. They took the water heater away and left some scraps. It wasn't a great experience even before the inspection.
