They are very reasonable in regards to pricing. They are kind, courteous and prompt. I am also having them inspect the sewer line and ream it out.
Description of Work: They worked on the tank behind my toilet.

Despite having used other service providers in the past for a similar issue, we decided to take advantage of our Angie's List membership to find someone to assist with this emergency repair. We contacted Tarvin Plumbing based on their availability and Angie's List ratings. FYI - "After Hours" calls (and the increased rate that goes with that) appear to start after 4pm or 4:30pm (I am not 100% clear on that, but it didn't matter since we called just after 4:30pm). It did take some time for them to respond to the "emergency" page (maybe an hour or more), and in fact we were in the process of trying other companies when we finally received a response. I will say that the service tech that came out that evening and the service tech that arrived the next day were both very courteous/professional. I also feel that overall, we believe the work was completed correctly and the second technician completing the work tested everything thoroughly before he left which I appreciated! Also, both technicians were very open to answering any questions we had while they were here, though we didn't get the follow-up we had expected from the first technician. However, the fact that it took two visits to complete the repair is the primary reason for a rating other than an "a", along with the total price for the repairs (which were higher than anyone else we've used). The extra day to fix the issue bothered me so much that I am not sure if we would use them again (we were left without the ability to use/run water over night, and that's a major problem with a baby in the home). Unfortunately we have had a sewer ejector go out more than once, and it had always been remedied in one visit with the other service providers (even if the call was later in the evening). I really don't understand why the work wasn't completed during the first visit - especially since this was not a middle of the night emergency. I have no doubt the company would do quality work, and I certainly hope we have better luck with this ejector, but for now I'll have to give an "it depends" on whether or not we would use Tarvin Plumbing again. I would definitely highly recommend Dave, who was the second technician assisting us.
Description of Work: Because our home sits below street level, we have a sewage ejector to pump the waste to the drains/sewer lines. Unfortunately the ejector went out and we didn't know until it was too late and the waste was overflowing. We needed someone to come out ASAP to replace the ejector.

Everything I had called about was fixed as I had requested. The plumber noticed that our pressure regulator was not doing its job. I happened to have another valve which he installed Everything was done quickly , on time and to my satisfaction.
Fine. They were honest and up front with their evaluation of what needed to be done.
Description of Work: Evaluated two plumbing issues which were more serious than originally thought. Temporarily fixed one leak while decisions are being made regarding further improvements.

During a remodel of our bathroom, I decided to move the vanity over a few inches and, in the process, replace a water supply pipe that leaked occasionally in the past. My welding capabilities, however, are pretty limited, and it was a very tight space ... so I totally butchered the job and decided to call a professional instead to help fix it. I got on Angie's List and saw their Big Deal with Tarvin Plumbing ($54 for one hour of service), and they were able to send someone out later that day to make the repair. He sweated my sloppy joint, installed new pipes and joints, and had everything working in less than an hour ... and he even allowed me to stay in there and learn from him, patiently explaining everything that he was doing so I could do it again myself next time. The parts he used were about double ($17) of what I could've gotten them for at a big box store, but that's to be expected when they're delivered and installed in person. Overall, great response, service, and I'm very satsified!

When our kitchen sink backed-up due to a clog deep in the pipes, we were in desperate need of help. We had family coming into town later in the afternoon, and the first two plumbers I called could not accommodate such a short notice, and one was openly rude. Then I called Tarvin Plumbing, and not only were they considerate and helpful, they arranged their schedule to respond in the morning so that the sink could be back in operation by the time our guest arrived. When Tarvin Plumbing arrived, they listened to the troubleshooting I had done the previous night, and they allowed me to show them what I thought the issue might be rather than wasting time to determine the issue themselves. This allowed them to immediately find not only the issue but also discover a weak joint that was improperly installed by the builder. They explained everything in detail to me and guided me through their work so that I had a keen understanding of not only what they were doing but also how to avoid the issue in the future. In no time at all, they quickly accessed the pipe from my basement and ran an industrial strength snake up to the clog, breaking it out and allowing the pipes to empty. They also fitted a new connection to the pipe where the leak was slowly dripping in my basement. They completed both of these tasks in less than an hour and cleaned up everything quickly and completely, leaving me plenty of time to get the kitchen back into order before our company arrived.
Description of Work: The main drain in our kitchen was backed-up and the clog was far enough down in the pipes that we were unable to clear it ourselves.

Called on a Monday late in day and decided to wait until next day rather than pay for an emergency premium. They showed up on scheduled. Had them come out initially because the water heater was apparently leaking. As it turned out the connection to the reducing valve was leaking. However we decided to go along with a scheduled versus unscheduled replacement of the 19 year old water heater also. They completed installation on scheduled and within the estimate. Would us them again for future projects.
Description of Work: Repaired leak at reducing valve connection and replaced 19 year old 80 gallon electric hot water heater.

Extremely professionally handled.I was at work, and the technician spoke to me on more than one occasion to explain repairs over the phone (my adult daughter was at home).
Description of Work: Two leaky outdoor faucets..both non-freezing variety. One had to be replaced. A hole had to be made iside the front door to get at the plumbing. The hole has to be drywalled or a return air vent can be placed in it. Other taskes were recaulking a shower stall, and fixing a leaky faucet. Measurements were taken for a possible future bathroom redo. Additionally, he gave me a running total of the charges as they occurred.

They were very professional. All of the workers were courteous and friendly. They cleaned up after themselves quite well. Once there was a miscommunication, when I called about it my call was returned and they apologized for the inconvienance. There was a couple of times when I had to leave & I asked them to put food down for our dog at a certain time & they did. We have asked them to also finish a half bath that we started, but don't know where to go from here. Tarvin was happy to do the extra work & it will be finished at the end of February.
Description of Work: They removed the old bathroom floor & wall tiles, tub, toilet, sink, cabinet & bulkhead. Electrical rough in was done, we had pot lights installed and a new fan light in the shower. Also we had the outlet in the room hard wired instead of having it work only when the light was on. Insulation was put in the outside walls and framing for the new ceilling height was done. New walls were put up where the old tiles were & cement board put around the bathtub. I painted the walls that weren't being tiled. The new tile was installed both on the wall around the tub and on the floor. The new toilet, cabinet & sink were installed and the electrical work finished. Then the guy came to measure for a mirror over the sink. It was installed 7 business days later. Bishop Electric Service and Hoerst Plastering were subcontractors for Tarvin. Both of these companies also did a very good job. We would recommend them to others, also.
