Athens customer reviews

★★★★★

Quoted a flat price for the repipe, stuck to it, finished a day early and patched the drywall better than I expected.

— Ronald P., Athens
★★★★★

They talked me out of a replacement I was ready to pay for. Turned out to be a thermocouple. That is why I keep the number.

— Simone A., Athens
★★★★★

Frozen pipe burst in the crawl space the morning after that cold snap. Out same day, repaired, and they checked the rest of the run for other damage.

— Wade H., Athens

Water Heater Repair questions in Athens

Should I repair or replace my water heater?

Under eight years old with a working tank, repair almost always makes sense. Past twelve years, or with the tank itself leaking, replacement is the honest answer — a leaking tank cannot be repaired. We tell you which situation you are in before quoting.

Why does my hot water run out so fast in Athens?

Usually sediment taking up space in the bottom of the tank, a failed lower heating element, or a dip tube that has broken. All three are repairs, not replacements.

How does your pricing work?

Flat rate, quoted and agreed before any work begins. You are not paying for the time it takes someone to find a fitting in the van. If the job turns out to be different from what was described on the phone, we re-quote before continuing rather than adding it to the invoice.

Is there an extra charge for nights and weekends?

Emergency and after-hours work is priced differently from a scheduled weekday appointment, and you are told that figure on the phone before a truck is dispatched. Nothing gets added afterwards.

Do you work on commercial properties in Athens?

Yes — restaurants, offices, retail, warehouses and multifamily buildings. Commercial work is normally scheduled outside your operating hours so your doors stay open, and invoices are documented for property managers.

What plumbing problems should I treat as an emergency?

Water you cannot stop, sewage coming back into the building, a gas smell, or no water at all. For a gas smell, leave the building first and call from outside. Everything else can usually wait for a same-day appointment.
