We did experience an issue with this company however as soon as the owner was notified of it it was rectified immediately at no charge. I would recommend this company based on the ownership Scott took in regards to the issue we experienced and his ability to use this opportunity to coach his team.

Cook provided quality plumbing services for a fraction of the cost compared to another popular provider in Des Moines that makes you pay for all their fancy technology. Dave come to our house on time and he was very nice! He did about 7 hours of work and wasn't able to test all of it because we didn't have a faucet at that time. After we installed the faucet, we found a leak in something he replaced so he came back out. He was there for almost 2 hours and didn't charge us anything for the fix. We were SO impressed and grateful! This is a quality company!

We had Dave and he was amazing! I work in the electrical trade and recognize someone who takes pride in their quality and customer service. 10/10 would reccomend. He accomplished so much in just eight hours. He also made logical and trustworthy recommendations.

Unprofessional and unskilled. They did the plumbing on my new construction house incorrect and it is now costing me thousands to fix and get up to code. Their employees also cat called me and made me feel unsafe in my own neighborhood a few years back when they were working on other houses.

I have called this company to get a bid for new construction, left a voice mail, emailed and did pretty much everything to get a hold of them but no luck, since this time of the year all the contractors are busy I tried calling back once a week and left a vmail but no one returns your call and your emails. If you do not accept new clients they should just say it over the phone or via email but they keep you hanging there with no answer. Not professional!

I can't say enough good about Cook plumbing. I've been using them for several years in a commercial setting for everything from backflow checks to 10" water main breaks. Nights, weekends? doesn't matter

We called Cook about a toilet issue. They had me send a photo of the parts and said they would be out shortly. Repair was made, also looked at other
fixtures, in and out in 30 minutes. Great job. My son had just used Cook to do a big job, the sewer line to the street, and also very happy with that work.

I love these guys! They did the plumbing for my home when it was built and I've never had a single problem with any if their work.
I recently hired them to install a gas line for an outdoor grill, they identified the best and most cost effective route for the line, they completed the work promptly and professionally, and their rates were extremely reasonable.
The entire staff is friendly and responsive, I have no hesitation recommending them.

An underground company bored through our storm waste drain while laying fiberoptic cable, causing water to accumulate all around our house. It was an incredible mess that left the ground saturated with water and our sump ran non-stop for months until Cook Plumbing discovered the issue. The entire Cook team was amazing. This is one of their busiest times of the year, yet they rescheduled their jobs so they could help us out in a real emergency. This fix required digging a 9 foot deep crater in our front yard, and the team was literally sinking in the soupy mess while trying to stay ahead of the

I have gone through Cook multiple times and always had a great experience.
The first was a water heater replacement, which was done properly and quickly. Protection was laid down for the floors for the route to the basement, and the old heater was disconnected, removed, and replaced with the new one within a couple hours.
A few months later I had called about a water line that ran to my freezer that had been damaged by a Lowe's delivery person. Even though they were totally booked, they had a technician in the area stop by the very next morning to install a new line through the floor and

I hired CPC to repair a problem created by another plumber. The sewer cleanout was 2 ft below the floor. Initially, they thought they would need to tear up a portion of the basement concrete floor, estimate $850. The CPC plumber tried another procedure which solved the problem without opening the floor. He was able to cut out the cap and replace with plastic. Time - two hours. He then decided he wasn't satisfied and spent at least another 90 minutes bringing the cleanout to be flush with the surface. I was surprised and pleased that I was billed only for the first two hours.

I have used this company for years and they are consistently reliable. They do good efficient work and tackle tough projects, work hard to get done, no dilly dally. The people I send are decent hard working. They will come also without charge and look at a minor or major remodel and give you thoughts and a bid. I've talked to others who use them as their go-to company but typically us satisfied people don't write a review. I figured it was time some one did.

Update on this company. The office manager got in contact with me. I thought it was to make things right, I guess not. She stated that they spoke with their workers regarding being considerate of people's property. I advised that the dirt pile filled with rocks was still there. She pulled my bill and emailed me and advised that the work was for rough grade. I sent her the definition of what rough grade is and explained why the job was not done and got no more response.
I do want to support local businesses and saw this as an opportunity for Cook Plumbing to rectify the situation and do right

Do not use! I joined Yelp to warn you of them!
I had an appointment for them to be at my house between noon and 3:00. At 3:24 they called to say they were "running late." At 4:05, they called to say they wouldn't be here at all that day. Rescheduled for 8:30 the next morning and they showed at 8:45. The guy they sent STUNK!! I don't know if it was from his last job, body odor, or feet, but he STUNK!
Stay away from them! I would give no stars if that was an option.

Had them scheduled to come out and start a bathroom remodel job. Received a call at 8:15 telling me they were going to reschedule because they had no one available to do the work this morning. A workmen was sick the preceding day and now he was not available for my job. I explained to the caller I had taken the day off from work but it made no difference. My job initially would have taken less than an hour but they would not come out. Will never call them again.
