“My kitchen sink backed up on my daughter's birthday on a Friday. He came over that Saturday afternoon, found a massive clog way down the line, and removed a 10' section of pipe to eliminate the blockage. Super professional, went the extra mile, and his price was very reasonable considering it was a weekend.”
After-hours responsiveness: returned call within 10 minutes past 7 PM, arrived before 9 AM next morning with expansion tank installed by 11 AM
1 cited review
“Whit returned my call within 10 minutes after 7pm and arrived before 9 am the next morning. He diagnosed the issue, went to the store for a new expansion tank, installed it and had everything back up and running by 11 am. His fee was very reasonable.”

The evidence — in reviewers' own words
Critical
“Rude. Arrogant. Not helpful in the least.”
“Called for an emergency plumber for a commerical store and I got a one word answer when I asked for help 'No' - followed with silence. Please work on your manners, not very professional.”
Positive
“Has been to my home multiple times for plumbing repairs and he's always done a wonderful job. Fast, shows up on time and gives me a more than fair price. Prices have always been less than I expected. Couldn't be happier!”
“I had him to do some plumbing work on our bathtub, did a great job and very reasonably priced. Job was in tight quarters and he figured it out and made an old tub look modern. Protected our tub and was very professional and friendly. We will definitely use him next time.”
