It is really hard these days to find reliable and honest plumbers who really care about their clients. Mike who is the expert plumber and his wife Valerie who manages the office, are those people. Mike removed a blockage in my kitchen sink that has been an issue for years and not only that found a solution to keep that blockage away if it happens again. They also have an inspection camera that he can send down into the pipes to find blockages which is so helpful when you have stubborn debris. He use the inspection camera for my job and had to go through the main drain of our half bath and

Love this company. Honest, efficient and competitively priced. This is our second time using them for a major (sewer line replacement and now complete re-pipe and adding sewer clean out) plumbing projects and so far, I have not been disappointed!!

I was in my family room and heard a tap tap tap sound and looked up and there was water dripping from the ceiling. Called Mike and he came right over and used an inspection camera to look at the problem. He found a pipe that was leaking in the ceiling. Then he removed sheetrock around the leak and fixed the pipe. Did a great job and cleaned up everything perfectly. I would recommend him to anybody.

I needed a new install of a toilet flapper. I already had the part. I called this company, and they sent a team (Cody and Jerry) to my house within 2 hours. It was a quick fix, and a very reasonable price. They were quick, efficient and pleasant. I am happy to give them the highest rating.

Mike Counsil Plumbing responded quickly to our call to fix a leak on our tankless water heater's copper line. The team of Kevin and Jesse confirmed that they wanted to ensure customer satisfaction was their top priority, and they fixed it in less than half an hour! Efficient, clean, fast service. Highly recommended.
