TESTIMONIALS

Unfortunately I hired a" jack leg" to do some plumbing repairs in a house my wife and I just purchased. Everything that could go wrong, went wrong! 24 hours later I phoned Atomic Plumbing, James and Eric showed up on time, and were very respectful of my home, and listened to our concerns very attentively before any recommendations were made. I must say we were both devastated, especially after previously shelling out good hard money, for a botched up job. Within in minutes after James and Eric got started with the needed repairs, all of my worries were put to rest!......

I strongly recommendÂ AtomicÂ Plumbing! These guys are honest and reliable. The prices were fair and they got the job done fast!

The replacing of a bad water heater was wonderful. They were on time and cleared a wider path so they could get the new one in. They removed all parts and other trash before they left. Mr. Ryan D. was great at explaining things and even made a drain to the outside (it was in garage). I would use them again.

Jimmy P serviced our toilet by changing out the entire flushing assembly and replacing our washing machine valves in our washroom. He was extremely knowledgeable and professional and had the job done within two and a half hours. I would highly recommend Atomic Plumbing and Jimmy P to anyone. Great job!

Jim M and Trey were very helpful in solving my issue. I originally had another plumber come out through my home warranty, but they did a terrible job and left my bathroom sinks destroyed. Jim & Trey first tried to fix the situation through my sinks, before having to go on my roof and clean the issue from the roof vent on my two story house. They solve the issue, left everything clean, and even fixed a slow drip on my sink at no extra charge. They communicated the process and the price every step of the way and were very professional.

I had a leak in my crawlspace due to issues with my waterline. Me. Duke was personable, professional, confident, and solution oriented as he assessed my issue and put together a quote for the repair. Ultimately the repair was well outside of my budget and I just paid for the diagnostic, but that didn't stop him from educating me on my water meter and providing suggestions for me to consider as I ponder my options for repair. I would highly recommend this licensed technician with four years of schooling and plenty of experience.

Drain backup in utility sink last night after hours. I knew exactly who to call after using Atomic Pluming and Sean D several years ago. It is interesting that although it was 4 years ago the service was so good that I remembered them. If anything the service was better this time if that was even possible. The communications from Atomic on the scheduling and heads up of when to expect the tech was excellent. Sean D is as good as technician in the plumbing field as you will find. Thank God for good plumbers and specifically Sean. Give him a bonus or a raise for sure. He is very knowledgeable and efficient on how to best do the job required and proposes several solutions. Lets you know how the job went. Right up front on the cost. He is enthusiastic about his work and craftmanship. My job was not inexpensive but I knew the job would be done right the first time and after the work has been completed I would say worth the expense. If you need a good plumber use Atomic and Sean, you will not find any better.

Robert was very professional & knowledgeable. He explained everything thoroughly, including possible options. He replaced the water heater (in the attic) in a timely fashion. I would highly recommend him!

Atomic Plumbing is 5 star company. Jimmy P gave great customer service. He continued working until he found and corrected the problem. And, he continuously kept us apprised. We are highly satisfied with the job that Atomic provided and won’t hesitate to call them, when needed. Thanks, again Jimmy.

Atomic Plumbing received my call re urgency at 7:30AM and by 8:45 9:00AM, the super men of Plumbing-- Bryan and Darin--arrived with 2 trucks, and a new water heater! They jumped in to stop the immediate crisis, and proceeded with meticulous care to stop water damage, break down wall where needed, and removed water heater and replaced it. They wear paper booties, are careful with moving things, and the clean up went exceeded expectations. At their recommendation, used Water Damage Solutions who shifted their schedule and came to assess, and perform mold prevention as quickly as possible. I thank Bryan and Darin for an excellent recommendation to a company that was at our house by mid-morning. Atomic has my admiration and gratitude.

Atomic plumbing and drain cleaning is a very reliable and customer friendly company. I needed my garbage disposal replaced and they sent their technician of 26 years out to help. Randy was very knowledgeable and friendly!! He did a great job and left a lasting impression on my roommate's and I to definitely use this company ( and Randy upon request ) for our future plumbing needs! Thanks Atomic and Randy for your outstanding customer service and experience.

Terrific service! Not only did Ryan bail me - quite literally - out of a flooded bathroom on a Sunday, but he left the place looking spotless. Courteous, helpful, friendly, above all extremely skilled - a 5-star rating is the least I can give him! Atomic Plumbing is most highly recommended, and Ryan in particular. Excellent!

Justin and Eric Jr. were very professional and affable. They were on time, got right to work, and made sure to share with us quickly what the diagnosis was. Justin made sure to point out what they had done and how they mediated the problem. Justin and Eric Jr. also made sure to leave my home as they found it. Thanks for making sure we were happy with the job before leaving! Would absolutely ask for these wonderful and friendly techs again.

The last thing you want to see is your toilet backing up in the shower late at night. I went online to set up an appointment and got an immediate response. The whole process was great from the time I made the appointment to the 30 min alert for arrival. Justin was fantastic, really friendly, informative and professional. He explained everything before, during and after and got a really messy job done. I wasn't expecting to have my yard dug up and I was amazed that it didn't look like a mess when he was done. He even hosed off the sidewalk. I made the right call and I got a great tech and hopefully I won't have to worry about this problem for a very long time. Thanks Atomic and Thanks Justin

Extremely fast response and fix after having an unforeseen flood in the kitchen (1 hour arrival post broken pipe). Our technician, James, was professional and gave us all our options for the fix. He checked all our water sources (showers, toilets, faucets) to ensure that we didn't have a hidden leak anywhere in addition to the broke pipe. Hopefully we don't need Atomic Plumbing again for emergency service but if it should happen, we will 100% call them.

Justin was the technician to perform the work I needed to have done. He called ahead of time to alert me he would be there in 15min. He was on time. Work was outstanding. He is very knowledgeable and the work I requested was done perfectly. Very pleasant person. Great work Justin and thank you again for doing a great job !

Absolutely AMAZING service! Justin D. came out to fix a pipe that was broken at the wall from contractors who were removing my countertops and sink. Other plumbers came out but were not prepared for the job and unable to perform the work needed. Unfortunately, to get to the broken pipe he had to cut away at the back of my cabinets and drywall. He told me it would be a “rough” cut but it needed to be done to fix it correctly. Well, he not only fixed the pipe beautifully, the “rough” cut was done perfectly and with precision. It literally looks better after he did all of the work. To top it off my house smells good from the cleaning he did afterwords. He cleaned and wiped out the bottom on my cabinets that now look 100 times better than before he got here. Thank you so much for coming out and saving the day for us! I recommend Justin D. 100%. I hope I don’t have any more plumbing issues but if I do, I know who to call!

From start (scheduling) to finish the process was very smooth and professional... excellent customer service! Ryan D. was our technician (leaking bathtub faucet/valve replacement). He was prompt, courteous, extremely knowledgeable, and did an excellent job!

21:39 14 Feb 19

Had a clogged toilet and several other items that needed attention 2 days prior to an open house. Called atomic plumbing and ryan D arrived within the hour. He explained everything thoroughly and provided a detailed cost of repairs. He was pleasant and courteous and made us feel at ease during his visit. He didn't pressure us to do work that was not necessary. Would highly recommend him in the future.

Thanks for a great job installing a tank-less hot water heater. Paul was well schooled selling and explaining what was needed and how long it would take. My interaction with Tiffany was punctual and professional. Sean and Tim did an excellent job running gas and water lines and installing the system. As a small business owner, I was impressed with employees who went out of their way to preserve the fine reputation of their employer.

15:14 01 Feb 19

Ryan D. explained to me what alternatives I had in order to repair a piping issue with my kitchen sink. He informed me of the pros and cons of each solution and when asked, told me his preference. I liked his conservative approach and the job was completed to my total satisfaction. I would guess that there are less expensive plumbers available, but you are going to get experienced and professional work with Atomic Plumbing.

Ryan D. and Scott P. with Atomic Plumbing are great techs! They were not only courteous, polite, helpful, but very knowledgeable of all aspects of winterizing the pipes under our crawl space. Our crawl space is very small and that didn't deter the guys from doing a fantastic job! We use Atomic Plumbing & Drain Cleaning for all of our plumbing needs and we highly recommend them! :-)

00:26 22 Jan 19

Fast emergency service. Justin R came out the first night, we determined that I needed a new water heater, Justin D came out to install it the next day. Both techs were awesome and extremely professional. Would recommend these guys to anyone needing work done.

01:18 05 Jan 19

Atomic Plumbing responded to my service request immediately and sent a technician out super fast. Service Pro Justin R. arrived to my residence and did an excellent job. He was professional and efficient. He was able to diagnose and fix my plumbing problems and get my kitchen and laundry functioning properly again and in good time. I feel like I received great work at great price. I would recommend Atomic Plumbing for any of your residential plumbing needs.
