Red flag
Two 1-star reviews (out of 75 analyzed) document pattern of charging for service without resolution, then resisting second-opinion troubleshooting on the same issue—suggests potential defensiveness on complex drain/vent diagnostics
Cited in 2 of the 112 reviews we analyzed.
Potential warranty/follow-up service issues: one review reports drain re-blocked within 2 weeks, company demanded $1,000 for another service call before investigating, dismissed when customer got second opinion
Cited in 1 of the 112 reviews we analyzed.
Diagnosis confidence concerns: one review reports snake service didn't fix toilet drain issue, then charged $500 for first visit before attempting alternative solutions; separate plumber diagnosed vent issue quickly and cheaply
Cited in 1 of the 112 reviews we analyzed.

The evidence — in reviewers' own words

“Responsive and efficient. Painless. Revision: After two weeks the drain was blocked again. I called Garrison and they wanted to charge me anther $1000 to have another look. I called Timmons. He came before sending me a bill fixed the problem in 10 mins. Charged me much less. I waited another couple of weeks before reposting. Everything is fine. Garrisons response when I explained it was still blocked is the worst …”
“Came out to address a toilet drain issue. They ran a snake, but that did not fix the issue at all. They called multiple times within 24 hours wanting $500 for their first try (even though they didn't fix anything) before they would come out again to try more things. Regrettably, I did pay them their money, but called out a different plumber who immediately identified a vent issue and fixed very easily and …”
“I had a complete remodel and Garrison Plumbing did all of the pluming work, installed all new plumbing, new bathroom installed, external tankless waterheater..the works. Tyler was professional but over the past 2 yrs there have been issues with leaks as well as no finding out that an existing sewar vent was not i'd and extended through the new roof..which has become a highway for rats. Not happy with response when I …”

“Great place to deliver a load. Friendly and professional people here. Delivery docks are to the back warehouse area. Three docks only to receive. Tight to back into but shouldn't be a problem if you set up right if truck and trailer in docks already. My appointment was at 9:30a and arrived at 830a. Five trucks in line already before me. Took approximately three and a half hours to be able to dock. First time I …”
“We had an excellent experience with Garrison plumbing company. During the ice storm we need help and could not find anyone available. From the moment I called, their team was prompt, professional. Tues, Tech Alex arrived on time, diagnosed the issue quickly, and explained everything in clear, straightforward terms. The work was done efficiently, with great attention to detail, and they left the area spotless when …”
