Rick Kirby
They Did Not Let Me Down
I put my faith in Ability Plumbing and they did not let me down. From the initial call to them to the arrival of my plumbing team, the whole experience was wonderful.
I had a major clog in my kitchen sink that was turning into a nightmare. I actually had another plumbing team come in before them and they failed to clear the drain.
When Tim and Leo arrived, they were professional, determined, and clearly knew their stuff. They diagnosed the issue quickly and worked tirelessly until my sink was flowing perfectly again. They went above and beyond my expectation.
If you want the job done right the first time—especially if it’s a tough one—ask for Tim and Leo. Truly a lifesaver!
Kenneth Kempf
Stephen did a great job on my drains
Stephen Greco - Did a great job on my drains and explaining the process before starting the job. Before starting the job he gave me two different price points to choose from and explained the difference between the two prices. Stephen was punctual, polite, and listened to my concerns. I will definitely be using Ability Plumbing Service & Repair again.
Tim Merrill - Also came out to work with Stephen, he did a great job and deserves just as much kudos. Tim was polite as well and listened to me. Both gentlemen are an asset to your company.
Thank you both for your hard work!!! Jennifer Luallin

I Would Definitely Recommend Ability Plumbing
I had a second slab hot water leak. I contacted Ability Plumbing, and they came and gave me a complete estimate. Spencer, Alex, and Dillon all work very well together. They are almost done, and I am very happy with them and Ability Plumbing. It was a big job re-piping all the hot and cold water up and through the attic. I would definitely recommend Ability Plumbing.
sharon evenich
Amazing, hard-working, and clean
Rene, Trent, and Dean are amazing, hard-working, and clean. Great at their job, very happy with them, and would highly recommend Ability Plumbing.
mauro muller
Very professional and honest
Requested quote to potentially reline cast iron piping from master toilet to main drain. Both technicians were very professional, did a thorough examination and analysis of the issues using their camera equipment.
They thoroughly explained the processes involved and discussed options. All questions were answered thoroughly, and, based on being knowledgeable about these processes from a professional plumber I know from the East Coast, were honest. You can't ask for anything more than that in today's world.
The quote to do the work was competitive, and at this time a decision to proceed has not been made yet, as this work is not 100% critical now but needs to be done soon to prevent potential pipe issues down the road. Evaluating.
Lawrence Massaro
Great company!
Started work when they said they would. Did what they said they would. Told us how it would go. Great company!
David Fitzgerald
An Absolutely Incredible Experience
I had an absolutely incredible experience with Spencer, Michael, Dylan, and Nathan! They provided expert care, service, and information to help me make the best decision for my situation. I recently purchased a property that was in need of a total gas line replacement. The team worked to give me the best price and replaced the system quickly and helped end that nightmare of not having gas at my home. If you are in need of any plumbing work, contact Ability Plumbing, you won't be sorry!!!
TIFFANI
Everybody was absolutely wonderful
Actually, we had to cancel, not due to the plumbing business. It was a miscommunication that my daughter already had a new property manager with their own contractors. Everybody was absolutely wonderful and they were prompt. The only thing I found kind of weird is that I do not like talking to that virtual person. It was crazy. I know life is changing now; however, a real person is everything!
Terri Smith
Very Professional and Proficient
Tim and Alex were very professional and proficient. Great customer service and finished the job the same day I called.
Staci Ortiz
An Exceptional Service Experience
An exceptional service experience! Our plumbing tech, Spencer, arrived on time and was very personable, professional, and thorough as he reviewed the work to be performed and materials to be used. He demonstrated a true pride in his workmanship that conveyed that he considers this not just a job, but his vocation. We were very pleased with the process at every step and highly recommend Ability Plumbing, and particularly Spencer, for your plumbing needs.
