What reviewers praise
Code expertise that others missed: when quoting an upstairs laundry install, Lakeside flagged that water supply and sewer drain diameters wouldn't pass code — no other bidder caught this.
1 cited review
“When they have been out for work or estimates for us, they have also caught legitimate issues that have altered how we want to do things — no other plumber we asked to come out ever caught this.”
Emergency morning response: 6:30am toilet repair for mobility-impaired client with single-bathroom access — Tom responded immediately to the urgent situation.
1 cited review
“The toilet in her bathroom was broken and urgently needed to be fixed for her wellbeing. Tom understood the urgency and responded in kind. It was amazing work at 6:30 in the morning.”
Pricing significantly below competition: rodding second-floor pipes described as '8x less than another company' — quality work at a fraction of competitor price.
1 cited review
“Rodding our second floor pipes was fast and efficient. AND 8x less (you read that right) than another company we won't be using ever again.”

Positive
“A client of my company, Arciera Home Care, has access to only one bathroom in her home due to mobility issues. The toilet in her bathroom was broken and urgently needed to be fixed for her wellbeing. Lakeside and its people, Tom and Eric, responded immediately so that she maintained the use of her bathroom. Tom understood the urgency and responded in kind. It was amazing work at 6:30 in the morning. Highly …”
“Everyone at Lakeside Plumbing has been great to work with! The office staff answering the phones, Chris to consult with, and Nick who worked on our failed ejector pump are all wonderful! Thanks so much for all your efforts!!!”
