The service was excellent. They were very responsive and even though I called late in the day they came out the next morning to fix the problem. In addition to the leak in the water heater I asked him to check the gas pipe because it was all rusted out from the water dripping on it. He let me know the pipe was fine and did not need to be replaced. I really appreciated the service person's honesty and professionalism.
Description of Work: Drain spigot on water heater was leaking. Put hose valve on drain pipe to stop leak. Checked gas pipe to make sure it was not leaking. It was not.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this company!!! First of all let me say that I am a stickler for good service and I am always willing to pay more for it. I think that having a carefree experience with a company that you can trust FAR supersedes the sweetness of a lower price when the bitter taste of bad service is what you are left with. I called the company after another plumbing company installed a newer facet in my 1907 home. I immediately noticed a decrease in water pressure after the other plumber installed the facet, he came back out once, charged us and still didn't fix the problem. I waited in fear thinking all of the galvanized pipes needed to be replaced to resolve the problem. I finally called Kennedy when I was filling my soup pot in the bathtub instead of the kitchen sink and was surprised to hear that someone could come out the next day. This company does charge a mileage fee if you are not in there service area but I was told this before the appointment was scheduled and it seemed very reasonable considering gas prices. The next morning Joel called to let me know he was on his way, he called because he thought he was going to be running behind, he was on time and how refreshing it was to at least know that he had not forgot about me. After a bit over an hour Joel brought me to the sink and Vola, GREAT water pressure. He fix what the other plumber couldn't and it didn't involve new pipes! He informed me of a few things to get on the honey do list in the future that were very helpful and appreciated, I like to plan home improvement projects if possible. When we do decide to get new pipes and water heater I will be calling Kennedy! THANK YOU for being and honest, upright, dependable business!
Description of Work: Increased my water pressure to my kitchen sink. Joel was able to take out two different "stoppers" that prevented decent water pressure.

I called Kennedy Plumbing, and they got me scheduled right away. Cliff came to my home the following day, arrived on time, and started work right away. He was very professional, courteous and helpful. He did an excellent job of reinstalling my faucet - it took a long time because we had crushed the threads on one of the bolts when we had tried to remove it ourselves. He kept working at it until it finally came off. He then started in on my powder room toilet, and quickly took the existing one off and replaced it with the new one. His finish work with the caulk around the bottom of the toilet was excellent. (As an interior designer, I pay attention to the little things!)
Description of Work: I needed to have a kitchen faucet and a powder room toilet installed. The existing faucet would not come off because we had tried to remove it ourselves, and we crushed the threads on the main bolt.

I called at 7:30am on a Monday morning and the fellow was there that afternoon. Job was just right. He put the gas connection right where it was needed inside. I have used Kennedy multiple times in the past and they have always been right on. Price is reasonable. The service is great.
Description of Work: I asked them to move an iron gas line coming in through an outside wall to better fit a gas stove as we replaced the kitchen cabinets.

I called for a plumber to check out our stopped disposal. The very capable office manager said she had a cancellation and would I want someone to come now. I said "Yes" and the plumber, Dan, was there within half an hour. He checked the disposal very carefully and said that there was a malfunction. He recommended a new disposal which I earlier had asked the company to bring. He installed the new disposal, the same model as the one we had been using. He left everything neat and clean and gave us the bill which we promptly paid. We would recommend Kenney Plumbing and Dan's services to everyone. Warren and Patricia Kallenbach, Portland/Beaverton.

I forget the plumber's name, which is a shame because he was fabulous and I would like to give him the proper acknowledgment he deserves. The plumber was able to fix the disposal rather than replacing it. This saved me a considerable amount of money. The Plumber was friendly, punctual, professional and performed job in a timely manner. I could not give a higher recommendation.

See above, had I not known some basic plumbing and what was really required, I feel that I would have been taken to the cleaners.
Description of Work: Put in a faucet and (drain line attachment) that I furnished, access was only 18" from where attachments were placed. The Contact at Kennedy Plumbing first quoted me $1500.00 over the phone, which made me laugh as, I told him that the project was very simple and he or one of his employees needed to look at the project to give a bid, which should only take 2-3 hours max. The plumber brought a back flow valve with him and tried to tell me that it was needed. ($225.00 plus installation fee for who knows what). I told him that it wasn't needed as all he need to do was attach a cold water access to an existing line and the same for the drain line. The machine to which he was making these attachments came with the required attachments. If I didn't know basic plumbing, I know, I would have been taken for another $500.00. All that changed when he saw the attachments that were required for the machine. I think the plumber wasted 1 hour on this project. He charged me $400.00 for the work, which included 1 hour transportation time, and additional $75.00 for parts. Should have been $375.00.

I had a blocked kitchen sink drain. Kennedy told me that they would arrive between 8-9am Friday morning. They arrived at 11:30am, without calling to let me know of their delay. When I called them at 9:00am to find out what happened they told me that the plumber was running late at another job and that they would arrive in 15 minutes; 2.5 hours later, they arrived. After they arrived, while working on the blockage, they underestimated the amount of water (w/Drano in it) that would be coming from the blocked pipes. Before they could contain the water flow, I had water (lots of it) and Drano all over my hardwood floors. They were not prepared for such a situation and the next thing that I knew we were all scrambling to contain the spilled water with my own dish towels. Once the water was drained, they fixed the blockage.
Description of Work: Repaired a blocked drain in my kitchen.

Our experience with Kennedy Plumbing could not have gone any better. They recognized the seriousness of our plumbing problem and had 2 plumbers on site within 3 hours. Cliff and Brett were courteous, professional, knowledgeable and just plain nice to work with. They kept us informed of each step along the way. At no time during this experience did I have the impression that they were trying to rip us off. They were hard working and seemed very honest. I have no doubt that we will use Kennedy Plumbing for all of our future plumbing needs.
Description of Work: Cliff and Brett located and repaired a leak on our main water line just outside of the foundation.

We had lost water pressure in hot water only in our main shower and kitchen faucet. Kennedy quickly diagnosed the problem and cleaned debris out of the affected pipes. The technician left instructions on how to do some of the work ourselves. When we weren't successful, they gave further instructions which led to the problem being solved.

Went great! Luther called at 1:00 (right between his 12-2 estimate) and arrived around 1:40. A little research in the crawlspace and it turned out to be an issue he sees every week. Houses built in the 80's used a thinner diameter connector between the copper in-house plumbing and the exterior PVC to the street. In about an hour he dug up the exterior, found the broken connector and fixed it all. Fairly expensive on the weekends ($175/hr.) and you pay for travel. However, work performed was excellent and Luther was great. They were very clear on costs up-front, and came in at the low end of their estimate. Next time I will ask the plumbing to break during regular business hours, if possible.
Description of Work: Sunday emergency call: We returned home from vacation and noticed that the water was running. Turned out to be a burst seal between the copper running in the house and the PVC from the street. It was seeping into the crawlspace.

The main drain from the kitchen sink had burst and spewed garbage and waste water all over our basement. Mr. Kennedy actually stopped by on his way home, said he had a couple guys would could fit into the impossibly tight area where the break occurred, and estimated that the repair would cost approximately $1500 ($1100 less than the first plumber we called). Sure enough, Mike and Cliff came, saw and conquered the problem quickly and efficiently, recommended ServicePlus to clean up the mess, checked out a few other jobs I had to tell me if they were worth calling a plumber for, then installed my new kitchen faucet and still came in nearly $300 under the estimate! I tell you, I'm ready to adopt these guys and have already called to have them put in a new toilet and rebuild another one. Kennedy Plumbing rocks!!!
Description of Work: Re-routed and replaced the main drain pipe from the sink, sealed the old pipe, and took time to install my new kitchen faucet which they weren't even scheduled to do.
