Buck Stine Plumbing & Heating

unknown

We contacted him on a Friday when we found out there was a problem.  He came on Saturday morning and within approximately 30-45 minutes, was able to say yes that was a leak, remove the old pipe piece and replace with a new one.

Excellent work!
Mr. Stine responded quickly for my service request. The work was carefully completed and tested. Mr. Stine has creative and cost effective solutions for problematic situations.

prior to closing.  Mr. Stine arrived within 30 minutes of the initial phone call.  He inspected all of the plumbing in the entire home and determined there was no permanent damage.  His assessment of the overflow problem was due to ice building up in the PVC drain pipe due to the thermostat being turned off.  As mentioned earlier, this was during the first Artic Vortex of 2014 with outside temperatures hovering around 0-5 degrees (and sometimes below zero).  We contracted Mr. Stine to return the following morning to replace the automatic washer hoses with "leak-proof" hoses and to install hot and cold water shut-off valves in the basement in the lines leading to a sink located in our garage.  These two lines were also frozen due to the extreme cold temperatures.  Mr. Stine was prompt on both visits and completed the work to our satisfaction.  We would consider using Mr. Stine again for our plumbing work if the need arises.

After discovering water on the basement floor, we investigated by cutting a hole in the basement wall to find the original copper septic drain pipe had deteriorated over a 50 year period and was full of pin holes. After a telephone consultation, Buck came out and assessed the situation to see what parts he would need. The next day he gathered up the parts and was at our house by 8:00 and ready to start. He removed the old pipe and replaced with new plastic PVC pipe.; He not only replaced the damaged pipe but the associated elbows, Tees and fittings, to ensure there would not be a future problems. He introduced himself, stated his background and qualifications for the job and explained exactly what needed to be done. Very professional. He checked out our boiler while he was there and made some recommendations, but did not try to push any additional services on us. He did not bring a helper, but let us help with the grunt work to keep the labor cost down. I would use him again.

Excellent job. He replaced the plumbing and changed the oroiginal pea traps so that both the sinks drained well AND quickly. They had NEVER drained quickly and always had issues with small annoying leaks that someone had previously attempted to fix with tape. He also went as far as to pointing out what exactly was wrong and never gave us any pressure to add on other services for extra cash. We will definitely be using him again - even if he is a busy man! We need more plumbing and heating people like him......

Mr. Stine's work was exceptional. His careful attention to detail was wonderful. In sum, he is a perfectionist.
