Jason and Chris came our to our home to do an estimate and started working as soon as we gave the go-ahead. They worked about three hours and had to come back later in the week and spend the whole day. It was grueling work. Jason was underneath my house for five hours. Apparently, my plumbing system was a mess, with my kitchen and laundry room draining towards the field lines and city sewer. There were pipes all over the place, but still not draining properly. These guys got me fixed up! Everything now drains to the city sewer. We have no more backups. I can actually run the clothes washer and dishwasher at the same time! Believe me, this is HUGE. We have been in this house for twelve years, and we have always had issues. Things just kept getting worse. After trying to resolve the issue ourselves. We finally started looking for a plumber about a year ago. I didn't think we would ever get this resolved, but within a week of contacting Rudd, it was all done! Thanks so much!

Neal came out on Monday and hooked up ice maker in fridge. Had to run a new flex hose through cabinents to sink. Then reconfigured dishwasher piping to also be all connected under sink for easy cut off. Called to advise the drain hose on dishwasher was broken so I went and got him parts to fix dishwasher. Installed garbage disposal under sink. Came back the next day to fix slow draining bathroom sink and was terribly blocked up. Heexplained what he was going to do in all cases. Gave me his card with all his contact information. Answered his phone promptly and returned calls promptly. Cleaned all up after work was compete. Very good experience!

Called in Artesian plumbing. They couldn't find the leak and suggested that a camera needed to be inserted to see if the leak was coming from pipes under the slab. Rudd came and conducted a cursory inspection of problem as I informed him of what had already been done. He suggested that the drywall be removed to reveal pipes near
where water leak appeared to be. He did that and could see no visual reason. Ran water with no effect. I asked if an old hot water pipe left over from when the house hot water was re-piped several years ago could be a problem and was told no. They left with no resolution and asked that I inspect the open area in the wall after running water in other parts of the house to see where
exactly the water was coming from and what was triggering the leak. My husband thought that the leak may have something to do with the a/c drain so as I filled a jug at a small sink in the living room he heard water running in the open wall. We figured out what was happening. An old hot water line had been opened and although it was no longer connected to the "system", the cold water was running through it to the "defunct" pipe that had not been capped off. I called Rudd again and the plumber returned and capped off the old pipe.

I use Rudd Plumbing exclusively for plumbing. After trying several others they are by far the best. I have had a foundation leak, leak in interior wall, and various other minor problems and have found Rudd efficient and professional.

They clean up after themselves. They will give you a contract to move to the head of the line. They take 15% off the contract if you use it. They are very good. They are really nice guys. You don’t have to worry about them coming into your house.

Response from Rudd Contracting Co Inc
"We want to express our condolences in the loss of your father. We know that this is a difficult time for you, your mom and the family. Thank you for allowing us to respond to your comments. The plumbing inspection is included in the Plumbing Service Agreement that was purchased by your parents. The inspector usually schedules these inspections 6 to 12 months after they are purchased. The inspection had already been paid for and its intent is to make sure that all of the plumbing system is functioning properly in order to make necessary repairs before something happens that causes a large loss, such as a water heater failing and flooding the home. Our plumber discovered, during his inspection, that the water heater supply pipes were leaking. The leak had gone on for some time and it had caused the fittings and pipe nipples, as well as, the top of the water heater to rust considerably. Our inspector pointed this problem out and recommended that your mom seriously consider having it taken care of before a failure of the pipes caused a flood in her home. We dispatched a crew, at her request. Upon examination of the water heater, our plumber explained the options, which were to make a repair to the supplies or replace the water heater with a new one that would have a 6 year parts / labor warranty. She opted to replace the water heater. Our plumber, knowing this was a sizable investment, asked her more than once if this was the option she wanted and she verified that it was. When a complaint was lodged with our dispatcher (not by our customer but other parties), our dispatcher offered to retain the water heater and show the damage that had been inflicted by the leak. That offer was declined. Our company operates on honest principles and our crews take great pride in satisfying the needs and wants of our customers. We have been in business for almost 100 years. We would not enjoy that kind of legacy without constant attention to being upfront and honest. We have performed plumbing work for this couple for many years and would never dream of taking advantage of them. Again, thank you for allowing us the privilege of responding to this comment."

It went great. The price was a little high, but I had some copper pipe that had to be replaced with steel. They explained everything and gave me estimates on the cost before the work was done, so the added expense wasn't a surprise.

Very well. I had a leaky water supply valve on my toilet. I called and they came out and fixed it very fast. I also had them fix a gas supply line into our furnace. I am extremely satisfied with Rudd. The price was my only problem but hey I never like to spend money on unexpected home problems. It was an excellent value. They also have a plan that includes a yearly inspection of all your plumbing which I bought. It gives you a discount on existing/future work they do.
