I have used Downing Plumbing for a number of services. I have always found them to be knowledgeable, professional, flexible and agreeable personnel, providing timely service. They have always been very willing to work with me and my challenging schedule. They have, at times, identified and fixed even what had not originally been part of the project they undertook to manage. The CoVid challenge has put some strain on working conditions. I appreciate their efforts in meeting this challenge. I recognize it is not always easy.

I had a toilet unclogged, the quality of the service was Great, but the cost to take the toilet off and put it back on I was told it will cost a couple hundred dollars more to do just the toilet. the total was $670 for 1 drain to be unclogged I had expected $250 maybe $300 but I didn't want to cancel it because it was for my 83 year old Mother. and didn't want her to go without a toilet another day. For a big job I would shop around more

These guys worked their behinds off. They were professional, courteous, and did an excellent job. They even dug beneath a giant oak tree so they didn't disturb the root system. We would hire them again in a heartbeat.

They were great! We had a pressure switch that needed to be replaced for our well pump. When they went down to the crawl space it was full of yellow jackets...we called an exterminator and the very next day came right back out to fix it. Very efficient!

Critical: Professionalism
This company was working on my neighbors house and early in the morning, probably between 8-9 they were fighting, screaming and cussing so loud I’m sure the whole neighborhood heard. On top of that, they had a dog on sight with no leash just running around. Definitely would not recommend this sketchy company.

Had this company to repair a busted pipe under my modular home. Guy crawled in and in 2 minutes he was done. He installed a shark fitting which cost $4.00 for a half inch fitting. I was charged over $500 and the fitting lasted 2 months since it froze and shark fittings are not meant for outside use on water systems unless heat traced or insulated. I was out of town working i am a union fitter and my wife needed it done. This place is a complete rip-off customer beware!

I gave this company 2 stars because they came out the same day. Charged me 69 bucks to give me an 800.00 estimate to have a laundry tub installed. The plumber that came out seemed confused about plumbing and was not clear in his explanations. Then he gave me a sheet of paper about going this company's club which he didn't explain either. I would not use this company for any plumbing needs.

My husband and I have hired Downing Plumbing to do a big project putting in drain tile and a sewer. They had a few challenges when it came to finishing with weather and our irrigation system. Thankfully they finished and were able to resolve the issues we had with our sprinkler heads. Thanks Downing for helping us.

I will never use them again. was quoted one price over the phone for a drain cleaning when the plumber showed up 30 minutes late and added on another $125. Every other plumber I called was cheaper then the original price quoted on the phone and then to have the extra money added on made it just outrageous. And on top of that I have seen dead people move faster then this Plummer
