Ted Fellowes

I discovered an inch of (clean) water in mother-in-law's basement and did not hear the sump pump running - after heavy rains for days.

I called Tony (owner) and he sent Evan - who was very professional, knowledgeable, and informative. He not only explained that the (very) old sump pump had completely failed, he showed me why: the very very old iron outlet pipe had cracked and then sheared off, forcing the pump to work non-stop 24x7 until it burned out. Evan removed the old pump, float and pipes and then installed the new pump, float, and pipes. The water, now 3 inches deep, was all pumped out in under an hour.

The price was reasonable, and I have confidence in the work in part due to the effective explanations Evan provided.

Fortunately, a year before we had emptied the basement and there was nothing on the floor to be ruined by the storm water.

Anthony worked with me on the price which I really appreciated. Jocelyn made my appointment and was so pleasant to talk to. Jonathan knew exactly what to do to bring a natural gas line out from my basement to my deck. He did a great job! I highly recommend this company.

We had two different plumbing companies telling us that they fixed the problem. They didn't! We didn't get any refund either. Plumbing Excellence found the problem and resolved the issue. Very professional and would recommend them to anyone!!

I had water back up through my downstairs toilet. Called a different plumber who snaked the line and ran a camera to find a belly in my line. They said fixing it would likely involve tearing up my concrete basement floor, but wanted to charge me $564.44 to "camera and locate" the belly just to give me an estimate on the repair. That sounded crazy expensive to me to pay almost $600 to get an estimate after they had allegedly already identified the belly.

I called Plumbing Excellence for a second opinion. Jocelyn answered the phone and was very pleasant and helpful. She got me on the schedule the very next morning. The technician, Justin, arrived on time and ran the camera, identified the issue AND the location, and only charged me the $89 service call fee. The issue is not under my basement but in the yard and won't require them to tear up my basement floor. The estimate was very reasonable for the size of the job. They also gave me a narrated video of the camera work that explained the issue and what needed to be fixed.

I was very pleased with my experience with Plumbing Excellence. I highly recommend them. They will be getting my plumbing business from now on.

This is a great business to call if you have any type of plumbing problems. Their service techs do a great job. We had Grant today and he was fast and efficient. And when I called in yesterday to get an appointment, Jocelyn made sure we got one the very next day. She handles all the calls and appointments.

Parker Casto

I used this plumbing company to flush my hot water tank. The technician was nice and knew what he was doing. He made sure to follow the steps to drain it out and also bleed out the air in the faucet after it filled up.
After speaking with the manager, he explained that it's routine for them to give additional options for appliances and services. The technician quoted me an electric anode rod install and membership.
It did make me feel a little overwhelmed by the price after these quotes, so I did decline them. I think it would be a better approach to print out pamphlets or email them to customers to review and look into upgraded parts or options. That way they can do their own research and decide if they want to go with them before spending the extra money.
I do recommend this company if you have plumbing needs, and the manager said he will take my advice about the pamphlets and look into doing that.

Zane Belsito

Crystal & John were amazing today. I called with issues of a slow main line clog. They were able to get a tech to my house today luckily. John was very knowledgeable and friendly. He got all the info he needed then explained everything very well. Allowing me to pick his brain where I wanted, it was very appreciated. I signed up for the standard membership since I decided based on the amazing service I'll be using them for my future plumbing work I have planned. Thank you so much.

Common Faucet Problems

Faucets are constantly being used inside and outside of a home. This can lead to a range of common problems, including:

Dripping faucets. Little drips from a faucet might not seem like a big deal, but they can result in substantial water waste and skyrocket monthly utility bills. Typically, it’s due to a problem with the O-ring or washer.
Leaking base. Culprits for this problem can include a damaged O-ring or valve seat. This type of leak could also increase your water bill.
Loose handles or bases. This is typically due to wear and tear. Usually, we can easily fix this problem by tightening or replacing components.
Low water pressure. It’s a particularly frustrating issue if it happens while you’re in the middle of showering, washing dishes, or washing your hands. The low water pressure usually occurs due to a buildup in the cartridge or aerator.

Problems with faucets can happen for many reasons, but the team at Buddy’s Plumbing Excellence has the experience to quickly diagnose the issue and determine the next best steps. Consider us your fixed-right-the-first-time plumbers.
