Testimonials.

Your service department did a great job at my home cleaning out the sewage line. The service tech had a great attitude, and was very patient as he looked for my cleanouts which were covered by landscaping. Due to your work we got things back to normal within the evening.

I am their loyal customers and have recommended their services to my friends because of the prompt and courteous service that their plumbing team provides and the high quality of workmanship I can expect every time. Not once the company failed to meet my expectations.

We needed a quick fix to our toilet, which was leaking. Not a big job, but PlumVac plumbing sent a guy who handled it very professionally, quickly, and the cost was reasonable. We were very happy with their service and will use them again.

In just one word… fabulous. I had a water heater fail late one evening at a rental property. I called them the next morning and they were able to accommodate me. Within a matter of hours, they removed the old, installed the new and had it up and running. Very knowledgeable, customer service oriented and a joy to work with. Highly recommend!!!!

Professional, quality work. The team was fast, neat and very respectful of special requests. Excellent attention to detail and overall customer satisfaction. They were not the lowest bid but a good example of you get what you pay for.

Basically, everything was just fine after I had to make several calls to clarify my order and to make sure I was getting the correct appliance. Installation and technical knowledge was terrific!!!
