Adam’s On-Time Plumbing

Tried some «Do It Yourself» plumbing and realized I needed professional help. I called Adam’s On-​Time Plumbing and received an immediate return call. Scheduled an appointment for the next day and received a call when they were about 30 minutes away. The problem was diagnosed and completed quickly at a fair price. Adam’s On-​Time was respectful and professional. I highly recommend them for your plumbing needs. Thanks Adam’s On-​Time!

I have been working with Jeff at Adam’s On-​Time Plumbing for several years. He has installed a toilet, fixed a leaky faucet, installed a water heater and, most recently, fixed an issue caused by the plumber hired by the general contractor of my basement remodel.
His work is always good, prompt, and reasonably priced. I highly recommend Jeff.

Got connected with Adam’s through my home warranty company. My claim wasn’t covered, but Jeff’s quote for the job was FIVE TIMES LESS than a quote I got from a big-​name company. Also, Jeff was able to come on the day I made the call (a Friday) so he was able to come back on Monday to do the job. Called me about 30 minutes into the 4-​hour window saying he was about 20 minutes away. Got right to work fixing some leaky pipes in my shower, and had picked up the new shower fixture that matched my sink faucet. After I paid, we looked at the job together, and I noticed it seemed to still be leaking. Turns out a joint pipe needed to be replaced too. So he did that in about 15 mins, no extra charge. He also fixed a toilet that didn’t flush well for an extra $ 56. All in all, my best experience with a plumbing company!

Wow. I’ll do my best to not be rude. Instead, I’ll share my experience and you can make your own decision.
Our home warranty dispatched these guys to come and inspect a drain that was happening when we turned the water on in our upstairs shower/​tub. The guy came, took off the tub spout, and said «this was installed improperly… you’ll need to tear down this tile tub wall or demo the kitchen wall to get in behind it and fix it». I must say, he also sat there sort of looking at the spout dumbfounded. But that is what he said. 10 minutes later he said «we can’t work on that. But I need the $ 100 deductible». I paid him, and went into a slight panic thinking «crap…this is going to cost me thousands to demo the wall and do the repairs. No!!!»
Thankfully, I talked to a plumber from our church. He asked if the plumber found it from behind the spout or the handle. I said «he never found it… he just said that the spout was installed improperly and left. He never actually found the leak at all». The church plumber couldn’t understand why an actual «professional» plumber would not find the leak.
He came over to my home the next day, and said «did he even take this faucet handle cover off?». «no» I told him. «He just took off the spout, said it was installed improperly, and told me I had to demo the shower wall or kitchen wall».
The church plumber popped the caulk off of the faucet handle and removed it. He shined a light in the hole, turned on the water, and said «there’s your leak… probably happened because the o-​ring in that pipe wore down». Sure enough, we spent $.89 on the o-​ring, replaced it, and the leak was fixed. Done.
Had I listened to Adams On-​time Plumber, I would have spent thousands of dollars, and lost tons of time, with his «professional» diagnosis. Thankfully, it cost me under $ 1. I’ve contacted Adams On Time and my warranty company to get my $ 100 refunded. Adams hasn’t replied to me. I’ll be contacting the Better Business Bureau and the Chamber of Commerce to report this incident.
You can decide to trust their «advice», or completely avoid these guys. The choice is yours. Are you willing to roll the dice on their advice, and potentially lose thousands of dollars?

Like other Unilocalers, I have an American Home Shield policy. Our hot water heater was running out of water, so AHS dispatched Adam’s. After reading the reviews, I was nervous. But the plumber arrived on time, was professionally dressed, and didn’t track in mud. He quickly identified and fixed the problem, and now we have hot water again!

The plumber was nice enough, but he proceeded to drag dirty snow covered wheels of the machine and his boots down the stairs on the new carpet with no consideration for our house. Where he put the machine was a tight space, but he did manage to scratch the walls in a few places while he was setting it up. He used the machine to clear the line and when it came out of the hole it sprayed the bathroom with sewer water and debris. He found tree roots and other debris on the machine so at this point I knew that the warranty would not cover this. He asked me for a plastic bag and cleaned off his machine and made a poor attempt to clean a small portion of the bathroom and then left the bag of stuff behind. He asked if I would like him to run the machine again and it would only cost another $ 130.

a BIG thumbs up! I’ve had this guy do work for me three times a water heater, water softener and a whole house pre filter! Always cleaned up and respectful of my property! Not some fly-​by-​night outfit. this guy is a licensed plumber bonded and insured! Does it right the first time. Fair prices for quality work.
Great communication with no surprises!

Stay away! We had a HORRIBLE experience with these people. They couldn’t get to us for two days and when they did come to snake out our main sewer drain, it took him forever just to get the equipment in the house, dinging up our stairwell while he did it. While he was «cleaning» the drain out, he broke his bit in the pipe, left it there AND charged us $ 265 an hour (should I call you Dr. Plumber?) for the whole mess. The drain was still not cleared of the roots. We had to have ANOTHER plumber (Ken’s) come two days later to fix the problem we originally had, plus get the broken bits out that the other plumber left in the pipe. He did it in half the time and charged $ 175.00. They were also recommended by our home warranty company. Boo, home warranty company. Now excuse me while I write a raving review for Ken’s Plumbing.

Our basement was flooding and we were referred to Adam’s On-​Time Plumbing by our home warranty company. Dean arrived at the time he said he would and was incredibly professional and polite. He diagnosed and fixed the problem, then cleaned up everything so that I could barely recognize he had been there. He explained everything clearly and was a ray of sun in an otherwise crappy day. I’d definitely call Adam’s On-​Time Plumbing again if the need arises.
