What Columbus homeowners say
4.9 average from 212 Google reviews
Our water heater quit on a Sunday night. Their plumber was here first thing Monday, explained the options with no pressure, and had a new tankless unit running by the afternoon. Spotless when they left.
Clintonville
Google review, October 2026Kitchen sink backed up the day before we hosted family. They came the same afternoon, cleared the line and showed us the camera footage of what caused it. Price was clear up front.
Worthington
Google review, October 2026Called at 11 pm with water coming through the ceiling. A real person answered, walked me through shutting off the water, and a plumber was here within the hour.

Common questions
What counts as a plumbing emergency?
Anything flooding, leaking fast or backing up sewage, or a problem that leaves you without water. If water is spreading, call right away.
How do I shut off my water in an emergency?
Find the main shut-off valve, usually where the water line enters the house in the basement or crawl space. Turn it clockwise until it stops, then call us.
Should I repair or replace my water heater?
If your tank is more than about 10 years old, rusting or leaking from the tank itself, replacing it usually makes more sense. We'll walk you through both options.
Why do my drains keep clogging?
Repeat clogs usually mean buildup deeper in the line, like grease, hair or tree roots. Clearing the whole line, and checking it with a camera when needed, fixes the cause.
