Plumbing Solutions

So. Hubs and I just bought our first home this past spring. Woo hoo American dream! PSYCHE! When shit hits the fan (or in our case wouldn’t flush) there’s no landlord to run to anymore and the dream becomes a nightmare!
We discovered our plumbing issue around 3:00pm on a Wednesday. Hub tried everything to fix it himself but just couldn’t. By the time we decided to throw in the towel and call the pros it was nearly 4:30p. The issue HAD to be resolved as we had laundry water backing up into our tub and shower. We knew since it was going to be after hours we would be paying an arm and a leg… sigh…our first home repair issue.
First company I called didnt pick up didn’t return my message after being advertised as available after hours
The 2^nd company returned my call but after the service had been performed.
The 3^rd company I called came out quickly. They arrived at 4:45p, met hub out in the yard, looked under our house (not crawl under, flashed a light at the pipe) and proceeded to tell my hub what he thought it was. Said it was a root in the mainline and because the way our plumbing was (old house) they would have to get on the roof and snake from the vent and since it was getting dark he wasn’t going to do it (safety issues) and tried to upsell my hub by giving him a quote to cut the pipe remove the root redirect the plumbing under the house blah blah blah and to call him the next day when we decided to do that. He didn’t even come in the house to actually look at what we had going on.
After feverishly calling around trying to find someone who would come out, in the dark, and get up on the roof, Mike at Plumbing Solutions said, «no problem, I’ll be there at 8:30.»
Our hero showed up a little before 8:30, got under the house, looked at the line out in the yard, came in looked at both bathrooms, flushed toilets and said, «eh, I’m gonna snake through the toilet.» 10 minutes later drains were cleared. AND it only cost $ 210. I held my breath thinking it was going to be well over that amount but it was completely affordable.
So thanks to the dude from the 3^rd company (who should probably be in sales and not out in the field) we have some knowledge as to what other plumbing repairs we may have in the future BUT we will definitely call Plumbing Solutions!

We are so impressed with Mike Grijalva of Plumbing Solutions! There is an old, inefficient maze of a sprinkler system in our back yard, installed by a previous owner. We don’t even use it. One of the pipes broke, flooded the yard, and resulted in us having to turn off the water to the entire back yard. Mike came out, during a heat wave, and took only a short time to figure out the problem and give us a very reasonable estimate. And THEN, he returned on the 4^th of July and worked in the blazing sun to make the repairs and ensure that we have water to the yard! Much appreciated by our chickens, dogs and grandchildren. We will definitely hire this man again! And, we are happy to recommend him to others.
