Used them today for tough job The plumber didn't give up and in the end was successful in removing a kitchen sink pipe clog. I would use this company again.
Rueben was referred to me from a business associate. I contacted Rueben and he made arrangements to come the next day to repair my sewer problem. Rueben and his nephew Will came to my property and did an amazing job -- very clean, professional and explained everything to me. He gave me a 90 day guarantee on labor. I would recommend RB Plumbing to anyone who needs plumbing and sewer repairs.
Reuben was on the spot and very helpful in a drainage issue. Everyone gets busy but if he can come to your job, use him - very professional, priced right and highly recommended. Solid dude.
Stay away from this company. I told them what was wrong, they came and said nothing was wrong and took $60 for a service charge. After my son spoke with them, they came back, said that the same thing was wrong that I said was wrong and charged me another $125 to change 2 rubber flappers in a toilet tank. They are thieves
RB installed high tech kitchen faucet that changes color based on water temperature! Excellent work and reasonable price, highly recommend them!
