Have had wonderful experiences with Herman Plumbing. Super friendly, kind, and professional plumbers that do a great job. The last job they completed for me was estimated to be a full day job and they worked so hard to complete it faster than they had estimated, which saved me a ton in labor cost. They also were very conscientious about materials cost and did what they could to cut down on that, as well. I will always use Herman Plumbing!

They charged us $35 for "PPE". Do not feel we should be paying $35 per visit for their face mask, which they don't even wear the entire time. Just another ploy to make hundreds of extra dollars/day, taking advantage of the customer.

I had an issue on a Sunday that couldn't wait until Monday. I called and scheduled an appointment for that day. They told me the rates and said that the techs were on another call and would call me when they were coming. A tech called me shortly after to let me know when he'd be there. He called a while later to let me know he'd be later because of the job he was currently on. When they showed up, they were very professional and got the job done quickly. I highly recommend Herman's to anyone in the Grand Island area. They do great work and have great communication!

We bought our home in 2005. We had a bathroom added in the basement and while Dwayne was doing that we had him put sump pumps in our 2 pits and plumb them to the outside. This was based upon his advice. Well, those pits have remained dry until 05/24/2020. On 05/24/2020 I heard this little humming sound coming from the basement. The pumps had kicked on just like they were supposed to and the outdoor piping was getting rid of the water to the storm sewer as Dwayne designed it to. Thank you!

Herman Plumbing is the best in GI!!! They have been out 3 times in the last month try to help us figure out issue in spare room in basement. Kept leaking, thought it was clogged, it wasn't. Then they came out again and it was clogged, rooted it and was fine a few days then leaked again!! We pulled all the walls and framing out before they got here. Turned out an open forgotten pipe from old toilet used to be in there, they just put walls up, pipe corroded, and every time shower/tub used it leaked into basement. They fixed it all up and sealed off so no sewer gas got into basement. The guys are
