Over a year ago I was misinformed by family on who fixed some plumbing issues on my house. I would like to apologize for any problems I have caused. I was unable to go in and remove the original review I had made. I am so sorry and the owner is a very nice person. I hope this helps with the issues I may have caused.

They did not return my call. I left a message explaining what I needed done and I did not receive a call back.

We have an older house and have had some plumbing issues. We recently had S & J service our needs. This was our first time using them, and we were so pleased with Justin and his knowledge and ability to solve our plumbing issue. We were expecting to need a much bigger job done, but Justin found a way to solve the problem and save us some money. He was like a plumber "surgeon." In addition, Amber, who answered the phone, was not just knowledgeable, but very personable, friendly, and sincerely interested in helping us. We will definitely call them again if we have future issues. Very Happy! :-)

Friendly, professional, hard-working, thorough, they won't leave you hanging. Not the least bit rude at all. I hesitated to use this service because of that comment.

I called them out for a problem, they said the city lines were backed up. So I called the Athens city waste, the guy working on my pipes took a snake out to clean my drains. When he was done he said I had roots in my main line, I told him I called the city, next thing I know he is gone. So I called twice before they got back to me, about a hour later. Said they would be back, 20 hours later haven't called, or been back. THERE WAS NO CITY PROBLEM!

The worst service and experience ever. They broke more things than they fixed. They stole from me. They left their trash for me to clean up and dumped pop on my floor and left it. They did not finish the job and way over charged for what they did do. The office lady is very rude.
