The evidence — in reviewers' own words
Critical
“Terrible company used them under onsouce through consumers and now my contract is being cancelled cause of this company had stuff fix and not properly fixed and now I have a smaller toliet in my bathroom cause the previous plumber could not find the part to fix the toilet correctly and have a different size toilet smaller then my old one also gave me a water leak and had to call a different company to correct the …”
Positive
“We have old plumbing, with lots of roots that cause issues, in a city that doesn’t make fixing it easy…we were doomed to a serious repair & dig up, which we wanted to avoid at ALL costs. Noah was great in explaining the situation, the options, and it looked like the outcome was inevitable. After the first 2 attempts weren’t successful, he sent out his BEST guy to give it one last shot before making the call to dig. …”
“Really happy with our service from Royal Plumbing. Found them through HomeServe warranty, and had exceptional service from Shannon and Steve. They helped me avoid much more costly fixes and educated me about how to prevent further problems with the sewer line. Happy to support this business again!”
