I needed a plumber to come out and snake the drain line for my washing machine and they were about to come out the same day! Clear communication, courteous, clean, answered all my questions and fixed the clog

Customer Reviews
Sarah
We had our tankless water heater serviced and the whole experience from start to finish was wonderful. John Owens Services were so responsive and Keith was so helpful. Our water heater is older and he spent extra time answering our questions and helped us future plan for water heater upgrades when we need them. Thank you Keith!
Michael Powell
Prompt, courteous, knowledgeable, efficient. The installation team listened to us when we had questions. They also found a potential problem arising from a previous installation from another company and resolved what could have resulted in a water leak in the attic. Yes, I absolutely recommend John Owens Services.

I had a major kitchen sink back up late Thursday night, got up first thing Friday morning and started calling plumbers! John Owens was the first one to be able to come help me that Friday! They squeezed my job into their anlreasy busy day so that I didn’t have to go thru the weekend with a stopped up kitchen sink. Everybody else said I had to wait a week! Luis showed up, he was polite and helpful and walked me through all the options I had on clearing the drains, the pros and cons of each. I went with the Hydro clean out, which was extremely effective and very quick!

Today Will and Keith arrived on time and professionally snaked my main line to relieve any blockage as my washing machine was not draining properly. Their knowledge and shared information was very worthwhile and the quote I received was fair for the work they performed. They also checked a possible gas leak inside my home and explained that there was no leak but that the tank design would emit small amounts of gas whenever it was activated. They also suggested I consider a tankless unit whenever I was ready to consider an upgrade. Thank you and I look forward to relying upon John Owens Services!
