1 concern

One review documents catastrophic job execution on a critical repair—7 failed attempts at a gate valve installation with 'bad solder joints' on first pass and work described as resembling a 'toddler playing with Lincoln Logs.' Company's remedy offer (redo work requiring additional drywall cutting and material replacement outside original quote) left customer unable to close the loop.

CJ from Power Plumbing was very courteous and professional. He did a great a job unclogging our kitchen sink. The price was reasonable and very much worth it. I highly recommend him and Power Plumbing.

Dominique did repairs in my house about two weeks ago. I did not replace the sheet rock because I wanted to make sure the leak would not come back. I’m happy to say his outstanding work paid off. The leak is fixed. I would highly recommend him for any of your plumbing needs.

Needed an internal (condo unit) water main gate valve to be replaced, which required water to be shut off to the compound and drained. No worries (second set of plumbers) – able to isolate and drain buildings well ahead of forecasted (costed) time. Should have been a “simple” sweat out, sweat in replacement. Technician seemed confident. First pass – water leaks everywhere, bad solder joints. Second attempt worse. Third and subsequent attempts started looking like a toddler playing with Lincoln Logs. Bottom line – water is flowing again, after at least 7 repair attempts. Called Power Plumbing – “if you’re not satisfied, we’d be happy to come back out and redo it”. It would take cutting out more drywall, baseboard, and more of the original copper piping and replace with Pex and Pro Pex fittings, all outside of original quote. Guess I’ll button up the drywall, but not before potential customers can see their workmanship.

I experienced a burst pipe that resulted in a plumbing emergency. After calling several plumbing companies on a Sunday without receiving a response, I was pleasantly surprised when Power Plumbing answered and scheduled an appointment for the following day. Dominic called approximately 30 minutes before arrival to notify me he was on his way. He arrived on time, quickly assessed the issue, and completed the repair efficiently. Both Dominic and his coworker were professional, courteous, and knowledgeable. The pricing was very reasonable, especially considering the emergency nature of the service. I would not hesitate to use Power Plumbing again and highly recommend them to anyone in need of reliable plumbing services. A+++ service.
