Tiffany Harris on The Plumbing Officials

I cannot recommend The Pluming Officials highly enough! They recently helped with a plumbing issue for my mother who is a senior citizen, and the service was absolutely outstanding. They were incredibly patient, kind, and took their time to make sure the job was done right. They worked tirelessly until the issue was completely resolved and never tried to upcharge us or find unnecessary issues to increase the price.
Their professionalism is unmatched. It is rare to find a company that shows such genuine concern for their customers. As an added bonus, they are very reasonably priced and offer a fantastic discount for seniors and military personnel. If you want an honest, caring, and professional plumber, call them!"

These guys are absolutely wonderful. We had a pipe freeze and burst last night. Within 30 minutes The Plumbing Officials were at our house. The issue was fixed within an hour. The pricing for an after hours emergency was incredibly fair. They provided a detailed invoice with photos. A+. These guys are going to be my go-to for future emergencies (god forbid) and planned projects.

Kathy Roletter on The Plumbing Officials

We had a plumbing emergency just a few days before Christmas. We called the plumbing officials and originally they said they might be able to get someone out in the afternoon. A little while later, they called back and said a plumber was on his way, which was awesome news. Our plumber‘s name Is Khalil and he was wonderful! Our plumbing problem was not as complicated or as expensive as we feared. Khalil solved the problem quickly, and actually took care of an extra thing in one of the bathrooms. He was friendly, courteous, professional, and very kind. We really appreciated the excellent service and the reasonable price. highly recommend this plumber!

Edited to add: Joe was on the phone and at my house making things right before lunch!
He acknowledged that my calls had simply fallen through the cracks and he was going to do whatever it took to correct my disappointment. How great is that! We all make mistakes, but very few accept responsibility. I appreciate the honesty/ character and look forward to recommending their services!!!
Charged $195 to turn up the thermostat on my water heater. Chalked it up to education.
Charged $500 to snake a drain. Chalked it up to post-COVID “crazyflation.”
Nice guys so asked them to install outdoor shower before patio is laid. They told me to call two weeks prior to installation. I’ve called three times, have spoken to a lovely person each time, yet have never received a return call. Patio being installed tomorrow. Too late for shower. If you didn’t want the job you should’ve just said so. Shame on you.

Megan Hodges on The Plumbing Officials

Joe and Zack quickly took care of my plumbing issues (within 3 days of calling for a non-emergency situation) at a fair price and expert execution. Highly recommend. Clearly very knowledgeable and shared some possible improvements I might make if they are useful to me without feeling like I was being pressured.
