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!......
— Charles J.
I strongly recommendÂ AtomicÂ Plumbing! These guys are honest and reliable. The prices were fair and they got the job done fast!
— Michael R
Just had my hot water heater replaced - James did an awesome job as well as his two assistants (Paul and Tim). Highly recommend- efficient and clean job!

I’ve always heard great things about you guys ever since I was first stationed here in 2011. When my laundry room drain flooded I knew who to call. Aron came out got right to business and made sure everything was 100% good and to my satisfaction before he left. My husband and I are a military family so it’s hard to find professionals to trust and Aron 100% took care of the issue in record time and was super knowledgeable. I also really appreciate the Megan reaching out to make sure I knew when he was heading out and to follow up with us afterwards. It shows how much integrity a company has because we know you care! Thanks guys!

This was our first experience with Atomic. From our initial call, to the follow-up communications, to the arrival of our technician was great. Our technician, Ryan D. was top notch! He evaluated the situation; presented to us his plans for repair, and completed the repairs in a timely and professional manner. He didn't seem to mind my husband looking over his shoulder while he was working, and explained what he was doing as the work progressed. The work area was spotless when he completed the job! For the amount of work that was done, we thought the price was fair. We will definitely be requesting Ryan on any future plumbing repairs. Thank you Atomic and Ryan for a job well done!

Atomic Plumbing is amazing. I have used them twice in the last year. Both times I had bad pipes leaking in the garage. Justin R. was the technician to come both times. He was quick in arriving which is helpful when water is going everywhere. He is very professional and explained everything to me while fixing everything in a timely manner. I also want to give praise to the ladies in the office. They were very nice and helpful each time I called. Highly recommend Atomic Plumbing and Justin R.

Randy C. was great! I had a window of 8am-noon and he was at my house before 830am. he was very professional and personable. I had been recommended to Atomic by some family friends, and I'm happy I went with them to get our garbage disposal replaced. Randy also gave me some extra magnets for my 2 year old and 4 year old-- my 2 year old son was super excited about that :) Thanks again!

During a dishwasher install the technicians busted the water supply line going to the dishwasher. In order to stop the flooding we had to turn off the water to the entire house. We called Atomic and they send Randy C. Out within an hour. He fixed the pipe and restored water to the house. Randy was super knowledgeable and extremely friendly. I would highly recommend this company but more so Randy C!

I don’t doubt the expertise of this business, and would agree with professionalism and punctuality. However, when I called to schedule the appointment I already knew my issue. I had a bad cartridge in my shower, causing water not to come out of the faucet and shower head. I explained this when making the appointment. Technicians came out and confirmed the issue, I was prepared to have them repair it until they provided the quote of $568!!!! I said the part costs $40 and it’s takes 10-15 minutes to replace! I was beyond shocked and disappointed. The price included a $100 trip fee because they didn’t have the cartridge (yet they advertise “fully stocked trucks”). But even at $468, the price was still ridiculous considering the type of repair. If plumbers make $2000 an hour, I need to switch profession. They made $69 for basically confirming what I had already told them...I guess they are still winning. UPDATE 01/17/2020 - the owner responded to my original post, asking me to contact the office to discuss my experience. I contacted them this morning and spoke to Paul. I shared my thoughts on the pricing based on the nature of the repair and he appreciated the input and said they would review their rate sheets. He also offered to refund the $69 service fee, which was much appreciated! The responsiveness and open-minded attitude towards hearing me out really demonstrated their commitment to being respectful business owners, and shows pride in business ownership. Thank you, Paul, for your time and consideration!

Justin showed up exactly on time and did a superb job installing a bathroom fixture. Every tech we've ever had from Atomic has been courteous, professional, and highly skilled. This company and all of it's members are the best crew you could ever want on the job. Atomic Plumbing is in a class by itself.

Highly recommended. I called them for a sink issue and Justin, the Service Pro, did a great job in evaluating the issue and fixing it for us. They had great communication and were very timely. I would definitely go to them again for any of my plumbing needs.

I called Atomic because we had a substantial problem where we noticed water coming through the brick exterior wall of our home outside the kitchen. Honestly, I called Craig Plumbing because we had used them in the past. He said he knew what it was because he'd seen it many times in my neighborhood and would be out the next day. I waited at home all day and he never showed! I'm actually glad that happened because that was when I called Atomic. Justin Ricker came out with a colleague of his, unfortunately I can't remember his name, but they were both so friendly, informative, very knowledgeable and pleasant! The job was done in no time and I actually messaged Justin later to say that I loved the way the new plumbing looked. That may sound funny, but it was re-designed and looked much nicer and much more efficient the way he installed the new pipes. This was a job that was a very big deal to us and we were fully comfortable trusting Atomic (Justin) with the job. We are very happy with the results and will stick with Atomic going forward, without a doubt!!!

We've used Atomic Plumbing a few times for jobs around the house. Each time the technicians have been professional and the quality of work has been great. The last job was performed by Justin Ricker and Scott Perkins. Justin did a job for us before and his professionalism left a good impression on us. It was indeed a pleasure to see that Scott had the same qualities. As long as Atomic employ young men like them they will continue to have a loyal customer.

I just want to thank justin for a job well done today. He explained everything gave me a price ( all though a little high) but worth the knowledge quick service and he was funny. Will be calling for Justin again for my next toilet installation. Thank you atomic

I would like to commend the professionalism and quality of work demonstrated by Atomic Plumbing ... with special recognition to Justin Duke. I wanted my plumbing issue to be assessed honestly and fixed. I trusted the feedback and the diagnosis. The work was completed, area was clean, and the professionalism was top shelf. Based on this experience Atomic Plumbing has a customer... I am prepared to pay a fair price for quality work with an organization I trust! Thank you Justin and Atomic Plumbing... well done!

I called Atomic Plumbing to fix a hot water valve in my shower that would not shut-off. Jim Miller and Scott Perkins showed up to do the work. They were both very knowledgeable and friendly guys. The valves in this shower were extremely old but Jim and Scott had all the right parts and the knowledge to change them out and repair it the correct way . It was a pleasure to meet these two guys and I would not hesitate to use Atomic Plumbing again.

Hands down professional, fast, punctual, reasonable pricing and a great choice for your plumbing needs. Will be calling them first every time! Very pleased. Shout out to Ryan for really representing this company in the highest manor!

When it hits the fan, these people are here for you. I had roots crush sewage pipes under the foundation of the house I had bought less than a month before. They came in, ripped up the foundation replaced the pipe and layed new concrete in less than a week. If I need a plumber again (hopefully I won't) I'll call Atomic.

Jimmy P from Atomic was excellent! Very friendly and knowledgeable. I normally complete all of our plumbing issues but the issue we had this last time was beyond his ability because I could not locate a 2nd access point to our sewer drain. Jimmy was able to probe with a camera and use a pressure bladder to both break the clog and locate the other access point for our next clog. Definitely not cheap because the charges are per task instead of per hour, but it was worth the money to know it would be done correctly.

CD Smith

I would highly recommend Atomic Plumbing. They were quick to respond to our leak and Jimmy was very professional, very informative, and took the time to explain different options on how to fix the leak. They helped us save time and money and were helpful! Great company to work with!

I have used Atomic a few times and have always had a great experience. Recently we had a pipe clog and had Atomic come out to fix it. James and Zach did a great job, explained everything along the way, and got my issue resolved. They are my “go to” plumbers I’ll call when I have any plumbing issues.

Atomic Plumbing came within hours of our call to replace a leaking water heater. The technician, Ryan, was professional, performed a thorough evaluation, proposed some options and reviewed pros and cons of each. He was efficient with his time and answered questions when asked. He instructed us regarding new equipment functioning. Also, he explained the warranty for all pertinent equipment. We found him to be pleasant to work with and a good representative of Atomic company values. We will call them again for future needs. The Fox Family

Atomic Plumbing is the best in town! Justin R. and Sean D. were very pleasant to work with. The employees are extremely knowledgeable and fixed my plumbing issue in a jiffy. They are prompt and thorough. These guys are definitely the experts in their field. I highly recommend!

Great service, Justin responded diligently to the emergency call and had the job accomplished professionally. I would use their service again and I highly recommend them. Very professional, friendly technician, efficient and honest. Justin and Trey are awesome! Very friendly and helpful. Justin showed me somethings that could help me in the future. I will use them next time I need plumbing service. I would recommend to anybody in the area.

Although the customer service representatives at Atomic Plumbing stated that a variety of options would be presented during the initial interview, the choices for hot water heater replacement were limited. Only one manufacturer was discussed. Ryan D. is confident, experienced, and clean mechanic. He was timely for both the initial appointment and installation appointment. I believe that changing the elevation of the hot water heater was an unnecessary expense. The pipe runs and exterior vent on the siding of the house look very good and the hot water heater functions to expectations. Ryan D.'s temperature setting seems ideal. The receipt for services does not break down material, labor, permitting. I do like the 10 year warranty on material and labor although the copy of the warranty sent did not arrive. Ryan D. cleaned up after himself, communicated well, and addressed my concerns promptly. It was a quick turn around from phone call to estimate to installation, which is particularly notable since the installation was done on the Friday after Independence Day.UPDATE: Terrific customer service, not mentioned previously, is worth noting as Beverly contacted me about the above. An inspection is in the works. The city allows up to six months for the site survey. I removed the comment that was contrary to that policy. The operations manager has been contacted about the change to the placement of the heater. Beverly knows that the warranty paperwork and welcome letter had been sent. My wife recalls seeing it in the USPS app, but not in our mailbox. It is to be sent via email this week.

My home warranty fell through in getting my issue repaired in a timely manner before Hurricane Dorian may or may not make an impact in Norfolk so I said screw it and called Atomic. Someone answered the phone the first time I called, I made an appointment for the next day with multiple time slots to choose from. A few hours later someone else called to confirm everything and get a bit more details. The next day Ryan D. showed up on time and had everything he needed to do the job in his truck. He was polite and friendly, explained everything clearly, and was done in less than an hour. Of course this was quite a bit more expensive than what I would have paid through my warranty but other than that I am 100% satisfied and happy. I would highly recommend Atomic Plumbing!

Today we woke up on Day 1 of a 3 day Holiday weekend to our main sewer line backed up. All the toilets and sinks were backing up; we were unable to use the water at all. Panic ensued... Then we called Atomic pluming and another company in the hopes that someone would call us back. Atomic plumbing immediately called us back and the appointment coordinator was friendly, professional and knowledgeable. She told us which technician would be arriving and an approximate time. Less than 30 minutes later we had Robert Rollings at our door. Robert fixed our problem and had us back up and running in less than an hour and 45 minutes from our initial phone call! He was extremely knowledgeable, courteous, and professional. Atomic Plumbing exceeded our expectation in every way. Shout out to Robert and scheduling coordinator for such a positive experience. We are now customers for life!

Tired of the big plumbing companies I’ve used in the past, I used Angie’s List to find a plumber after my toilet backed up. Within seconds of sending my request, I got multiple calls. Bill of Atomic Plumbing came through. Reasonably priced, pleasant, knowledgeable and able to come that evening without extra fees, Bill fixed the problem. I now have a local plumber who I will use again and again. Thanks very much, Bill!

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.

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.

Paul Price

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!

Patrick McGill

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.

Larry Field

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.

Judy Dale Adams

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! :-)

Jarrod Criss

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.

John Hines

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.

Record cold, snow still a hazard, but Atomic had someone out to fix a split pipe in no time. Don was great, took care of everything. Couldn't have asked for anyone more helpful and professional.
