We have used Pampering Plumber for years and have been relatively okay with their company. They have always been on the high end of charges for services. Over the last year we have been experiencing frequent clogs on the main sewer line from a new addition to our home. They would come out, snake it, then be on their way. No rhyme or reason to how they charged us. It would be mostly in the $200-300 range. The last time they came out they charged us over $500, but could never answer why our line kept getting clogged or why their charge for coming out doubled. In a previous visit they put a video

All I wanted was for them to come out (since they were the ones who put the system in) to verify that the water softener was off?! They charged me $59.00?!! to stand there and tell me "Yes, it was off"?!! Seriously?!! Not to mention, it was set on "20"?!! instead of where it is suppose to be at "12"?! No wonder there was way too much salt going through my pipes and appliances... my washer & dryer are showing signs of rust now?! And, there's such a salt residue in the lint tray of the dryer that I have to wash it out?!!

Needed a hot water heater and call another company that quoted 1600. I called pampering plumber/who installed the water heater when our house was built and they quoted 899 and was there within an hour. George was professional and courteous and had the job done in an hour. I highly recommend them.

I can't say enough great things about this company. It was Sunday when we noticed a leak coming from the wall inside our garage. Eddie, their service tech answered the "after hours" call and said he can be over in 1-hour. 50 minutes later, he arrived and was working on our leak. I found Eddie to be extremely courteous and efficient. He detected where the leak was coming from within a few minutes and it was completely repaired within an hour or so. I can't recommend these guys enough- you will definitely feel Pampered with their great service! Oh... and the $59.00 service

The Pampering Plumber has the best reputation in the business. Their prices on water softeners are very reasonable and best of all you know that a state certified plumbing company made sure your system was installed correctly the 1st time. It gives me great piece of mind knowing that if anything ever does go wrong, they are on call 24/7.
