Customer Reviews

What our customers say

Thank you, Absolute Plumbing! Excellent experience with this exceptional company. From start to finish it was positive — from scheduling with Brian in the main office to the technician appointment with our plumber Ameer. Ameer is awesome! He helped troubleshoot a water heater issue with an older unit. Instead of assuming it needed to be replaced he tried to diagnose the electrical connection first. Very thoughtful, honest, and conscientious.

I can highly recommend Absolute Pro Plumbing, Inc to serve all your plumbing needs with great care. I was so lucky to have Ameer Khan today who very quickly snaked my shower drain but charged a very reasonable price which I really appreciated. I was so glad to find out that he also is experienced in yearly flushing my Navien hot water heater. This company is definitively an excellent full-service plumbing company that I will always use for any of my future plumbing needs. They really rock!
