We have an area drain that is clogged and needed advice on the best way to proceed with repairs. Nick came out, did a site survey and gave us an honest assessment of what should be done for our situation. He was very honest and very clear about what he felt were the best options from the least expensive to the most expensive. He did not pressure us and helped us make an informed decision. We would trust Nick and Dependable Plumbing with any and all of our plumbing needs. We were also delighted to have worked with Shelley on our scheduling, she is very professional and very sweet.

We could not be more happy with Dependable Plumbings service and work ethic. Benjamin was on time very communicative about the process. He got the work done In a timely manner.
Five stars all the way around we really appreciate you and your team
As a Community Manager, I deal with A LOT of leaks. Dependable Plumbing will always be one of my go to recommendations for my communities. They are their name - Dependable. The techs are amazing (shout out Grant and Travis) and their office staff is equally as great (shout out Jen , Shelley, and Aaron).
Huge thanks to Diego at Dependable Plumbing. He responded fast, found the cracked cast iron pipe, and handled both the temporary and final cast iron replacement with great care. Upon a visual inspection he caught another damaged section and fixed it on the spot. Professional, efficient, and very easy to work with.
Grant from dependable plumbing did an amazing job replacing pipes for my shower drain. He went through a series of steps to diagnose the issue, tried snaking the pipe, and going in through the pipe vent. He provided all the details I needed to decide to replace a long 15-ft section of pipe. And so glad I did. The rust build up inside the pipe was unbelievable. The pipe was replaced with a better material to prevent this in the future. And my shower drain is working great now.
This is the second time I have used Dependable Plumbing. Both times they were outstanding. I had a hard to find leak, that only appeared some of time. Grant was able to diagnosis it and get to solution. 100% would recommend.
We are a preschool in what was formerly a K-8 school. The school was built in 1950 to give you an idea that we are dealing with old cast iron pipes. The other afternoon water started coming up through the floor drains. Our custodian tried snaking the pipes to see if that solved the problem. After pulling many old baby wipes out, the problem still persisted. Grant from Dependable Plumbing was out Friday morning to jet out the drains. We thought the problem was solved, but started having some back up again. Grant came back and located another area and cleared that out as well. I am so grateful for the fast response and the commitment to finding and solving the problem. Grant cleaned up after all his work, leaving the areas cleaner than when he arrived.
I have 2 recommendations:
1. Remind your employees that they should NOT flush baby wipes down the toilet!!!
2. Call Dependable Plumbing when said employees ignore the first recommendation! They are now my go to for plumbing issues!
Dependable is AWESOME!
They rescued us again clearing out roots from the main sewer line. Grant went above and beyond on this call as access was difficult. Tony has a long term solution to solve this recurring problem.
Dependable Plumbing is the best!

Outstanding service! These guys know their stuff. Very professional and work to get the job done! Grant was amazing. The best plumber in town (in my opinion)! Highly recommend!
I called Dependable Plumbing on Friday August 15 and called them for a potential slab leak. They had Diego their tech come out and he was great and accessed it all. It was tied it to my washing machine small leak and avoided a ton of underground work. All solved. Katie was their customer service rep who was very nice and accommodating on a Friday and walked me thru some of the issues. Very very good experience. All professional and their pricing was very reasonable. Didn't feel at all like a corporate upcharge. Highly recommend them for any plumbing work. Thanks again
