What reviewers report — the concerns

Red flag
1 of 5 reviews (3-star): scope of sewage repair did not include concrete restoration; customer not informed until after garage was broken up, causing significant inconvenience.
“there was no one to pour the concrete and cover it back up. they just fixed it and told me the concrete cover up in my garage was the HOA and my problem. If I would have known that there was not a pre-arranged job start to finish completely I would have never have given vortex plumbing access to my garage.”
Concrete restoration after sewage pipe replacement was excluded from scope without upfront disclosure; customer took 2 days off work before learning HOA/owner would cover concrete.
“there was no one to pour the concrete and cover it back up. they just fixed it and told me the concrete cover up in my garage was the HOA and my problem. If I would have known that there was not a pre-arranged job start to finish completely I would have never have given vortex plumbing access to my garage.”

“Dillan (sorry if I misspelled your name) and his apprentice (sorry, I missed your name) were both absolutely fantastic, as was the entire Vortex Plumbing staff in getting a service call out. I had my old kitchen faucet replaced as well as a couple angle stops under the sink swapped out. Their plumbers do not work on commission, which is a huge plus. The work done was excellent, professional, and quick. The pricing …”
“Dillion was wonderful. Not only was he knowledgeable he understood the importance of time. He assessed our situation fixed and or repaired what needed to be done. Then he completed it in a reasonable amount of time.”
