"John & his assistant was friendly, knowledgeable & fixed issue in timely manner! Great job, very professional & affordable! I will definitely be using the checkered flag plumbing co. For my next plumbing needs!"
"Jeremy Wallace and Seth Wyatt did a thoroughly professional job. They were polite and very forthcoming with all information. They gave me an estimate upfront and honored that estimate. They fixed a problem that I had two other plumbers trying to fix. I highly recommend them."
"Even though my installers ran into some plumbing issues they were very professional and handled it in a timely manner and it was inspected properly so far I am pleased. They were on time and cleaned up everything."
"They came and gave me a quote of 4500, I needed the job done so I hired them They sent another company to suck the tank out and they discovered that my tolites was running water they had some suggestions well I repair them and that fixed my problem then the guys from superior came and run the pressure washer and the job wound up costing me 5144 and in advance I told them I was on disability and fixed income, I highly recommend looking around before taking with these guys I know I feel like I was taken advantage of, they will never do any business for me again, another company found the problem and told me how to fix it, I fixed it, and superior made the money for it to me this is a big ripoff"
"Outstanding job. The shower is beautiful. The installers were awesome. They were so kind and efficient. The install took less than a day. They worked so hard. They cleaned everything up so well that you can't even tell they were here. I am beyond happy with the work they did. I highly recommend Five Star. I give them 10 Stars."
"The entire process was very professionally executed. Dry-Pro systems came out (David) and examined the crawl space, took pictures of the worst problem areas, tested the joists and support beams for moisture content and thoroughly explained their process for remediation of our problem. I was impressed by their thoroughness and I was confident that their proposal was a total solution backed by science that I could easily reference. The Dry-Pro work team assigned to my project ( Tony, Demario, & Jose ) were very professional and extremely friendly. They called before they arrived, arrived when they said they would and worked very conscientiously. They answered all of my questions and it was obvious they knew their business. I could also tell they enjoyed working for Dry-Pro so I think that says something about the company. This is very hard work but they kept a very pleasant attitude and the whole project couldn't have gone smoother. Tony pointed out that I had a slow drip under our shower drain and a drain line for our upstairs HVAC system had become disconnected in the crawl space. So I got a plumber and our HVAC guys out to immediately address these issues. They all showed up at the same time but it did not affect this Dry Pro team from getting the job done! They finished the job in less time than was estimated and I now have a dry and beautiful crawl space and I no longer have to worry about decaying floors, mold, etc. In the last hour of my project, a DRY PRO manager drove up to inspect the work and talk to me to make sure I was satisfied. You very seldom find great service like this so I am impressed. Thanks again to Tony, DeMario & Jose! You are all hard working young men of good character. God Bless You Guys!"
"He over charged me. I paid 1500.00 for my septic tank to be cleaned out and rejuvenated it, as he called it. He quoted over the phone 400.00, so I expected to pay 600.00. When he got here he started to tell me about an easier way to find my septic tank for next time. He was going to add risers for me. He said the price of that was 2800.00 I was like I ca not afford that, so maybe another time. He told me he would charge me 1500,00 to do the whole job. He said he would give me a first responders discount, I told him I work in the Emergency Department at a hospital, plus I was still in my uniform when I met him, I had just gotten off of work. He said that he counts that as a first responder. Then, he said he would give me a first time customers discount and the total went from 2800.00 to 1500.00 but I had a water line directly over the tank and he could not do the risers, but he still charged me 1500.00. I felt like I was ripped off! It had to be cleaned out and I just wanted to get it done so that I could shower and go to sleep. He came out on a Monday morning a little after 9am. It was not a holiday or weekend. He did not do any extra work that would have cost 1500.00. I was confused and just paid him. Even though I felt like he was ripping me off. He did clean out all the materials inside of my septic tank. He was friendly and explained how the septic tank worked. I still feel like I triple paid for a job."
Affordable Plumbers questions, answered by experts
Always schedule a final inspection with local authorities before closing your walls to ensure the plumbing meets current standards. For homes on private wells, test your water quality for bacteria and local contaminants like iron. Verify that all exterior hose bibs and crawl space supply lines have proper insulation to prevent winter freeze damage. Finally, Denver homeowners with irrigation systems must confirm their backflow prevention devices function correctly.
Helpful?
Homeowners frequently encounter surprise expenses when contractors uncover unpermitted work that requires immediate remediation to meet code. Excavation for exterior plumbing in the rocky, clay-heavy soil around Lake Norman takes significantly more time and effort than standard digging. Additionally, accessing NC crawl spaces often reveals existing moisture damage or deteriorated vapor barriers. Connecting to the expanding county sewer system also requires mandatory tap fees beyond the standard labor.
Helpful?
Inspect your walls and ceilings for water stains or soft drywall, which point to incomplete plumbing repairs from past winter freezes. In homes built throughout NC during the 1990s, look for gray plastic polybutylene pipes or brittle supply lines in the attic. You should also check local records for unpermitted additions. Unexplained secondary water connections or pressure inconsistencies often reveal improper transitions from private wells to public water systems.
Helpful?
Start by identifying your exact water source and scheduling a well or septic system inspection if applicable. Review the property permit history to uncover any unpermitted plumbing work from previous owners. Since most Denver properties feature crawl space foundations, inspect all exposed supply and drain lines for hidden freeze damage or pest interference. Finally, verify the age of your water heater to avoid unexpected failures during the winter.
Helpful?
Start by checking the age of your property. Denver properties built during the 1990s housing boom often have original fixtures and supply lines reaching the end of their lifespan. Older homes constructed before the 1980s frequently feature galvanized steel pipes that corrode over time. Additionally, properties near Lake Norman experience ground settling that puts heavy stress on underground lines, making them excellent candidates for plumbing inspections and necessary updates.
