The evidence — in reviewers' own words
Critical
“I would not recommend or trust this company. To start with the positives, the initial phone representative and the two technicians who came out were polite and professional. Unfortunately, that was the only positive part of the experience. We called Clean Plumbers because our bathroom was backing up into both the tub and toilet. We scheduled their advertised drain cleaning special, and they performed a main line …”
Positive
“A+ 10/10. Noel w/Clean Plumbers, did the job in 20 minutes that another reputable local company couldn’t do in a half day plus. That same company had suggested more expensive and intensive work to resolve the problem, that Noel later accomplished in 20 minutes. I’m glad I a got a 2nd opinion and Noel was great to work with.”
“Anthony showed up and quickly diagnosed our bad water heater. Luckily, he suggested checking the warranty with the manufacturer. It was still covered, so we worked out getting the old one out and then returning it to the store for a warranty replacement. Anthony was great through the whole process and once we had the new unit, he got it replaced in no time!”
