New copper lines into house and new feed to hotwater tank

I had another big job done by another similar plumbing company and Public Plumbing were superior in every way. I'm glad I chose Vlad and his lads...they were helpful, went beyond the call of duty and I would call them again in an instant.
The homeowner generally is in a bind when they have go call a plumbing company. And they know that, so be aware that the most expensive option is not the only one. Do some barganing even though this is not something most of us likes to do.
But I liked my experience with Public Plumbing and got top notch work for my money.

Replace pipes from property line into the house

Public Plumbing is efficient, reliable and does fantastic work. I needed to replace the pipes from the property line coming into the house and they completed the work within a few hours. The job they did is perfect. I highly recommend public plumbing.

Persistent drip from upstairs toilet through ceiling below

Vlad appeared within 3 hours of my call, assessed the situation, did the repair in a prompt and professional manner, and with a sense of humor! No charge for what he taught me. It's a relief to find an honest and competent tradesperson.

Basement Bathroom Rough-In

I had the fellows from Public Plumbing rough-in my planned basement bathroom. My sister had used them for a job in her basement - essentially fixing someone else's mistakes, and had highly recommended them. I had three highly rated contractors come in to quote, and while I would have been happy to have hired any of them, the personal reference and the very reasonable price tipped my decision in Public's favour.

From the start, they were comprehensive and detailed when they came in for the quote, reassuring me that they would not be satisfied until I was happy with the job. Indeed, they were very easy to get a hold of if I had questions and promptly returned any messages I left with them.

The entire job took two days - the second day being quite long due to some of the peculiarities of my basement. As soon as the crew entered my house, they took care to protect any surfaces that could be damaged and when they left, there was no evidence of them being there beyond the work itself, which was excellent.

The work included breaking the concrete slab, ripping out the old clay drainpipes that were there, replacing them, roughing in for a toilet, shower stall, sink, laundry sink and washing machine, then running the hot and cold supply (PEX) and hooking everything up to the vent.

I couldn't be more pleased. The concrete work was smooth and solid (unlike previous work I had done by another contractor - review to follow!), everything was exactly where I'd requested it and the whole job looks very neat and tidy.

Highly recommended. Thanks, guys!

Replace Hot Water Heater

I had a fairly simple job to replace and old, inefficient hot water heater. After calling around I found that most places quoted somewhat ridiculous prices for this job, I stumbled upon Public Plumbing and there price was much better than what everyone else quoted me. The gentleman that came did an amazing job, he was very neat, thorough, and quick. He even took my old water heater for recycling.

restart boiler and water heater

The person that answered the phone was quote apprupt/rude but the technician that came was nice. Did not like how the original quote given changed with out the technician telling the owner first, as a owner I like to budget and have choices. Later one of the issues that I pointed out to the technician was an issue again so I call them back on the same day and the person that answered the phone indicted its a new charge becuase its different from the original request. Very dissapointning

Dear Disappointed in Customer Service (Carmie),

Your initial call was in regards to a non-working boiler. Our technician came in due time as promised and fixed the initial problem of the non-working boiler. Your brother than called the office again stating that the pipes were leaking. Your brother claimed that the reason for the leaking pipes was due to our work. Our technician went out again, and there were no leaking pipes at all, but another underlying issue with TPR valve (which has nothing to do with our work completed earlier). Our technician advised you to fix this valve, however you did not agree to do so. This was the end of our business relationship with you.

This rating you gave our company has nothing to do with the service and the quality of work we provided to you. We would greatly appreciate your honest feedback in the future if you decide to use our services again.

Thank you!

update water service, replace shutoff valve

I'd been putting off replacing the ancient shutoff valve and corroded water service from the basement to the property line. When I needed the work done in a short time-frame, Public Plumbing was recommended. I found the people friendly and very knowledgeable, the communication good, the price fair, and the quality of work excellent. The job was started quickly, and was all done in one day, including excellent cleanup both inside and outside the house. The 20-year guarantee shows they stand behind the quality of their work. I'd recommend Public Plumbing highly to anyone who needs plumbing work done.
