Grable Plumbing

Just had Grable and technician, Matt, out to my home today to clear a stubborn blockage. In a day and age of multiple service companies from which to choose, Matt, as an ambassador for Grable Plumbing made a lasting impression. Not only was he on time and knowledgeable, he took the extra effort to develop a relationship with me — his customer. I strongly recommend this company for any of your plumbing needs. #bestinclass

Called this company after moving in our home. They were out within 1 hour and did an awesome job and awesome customer service. Would highly recommend using this company.

They are eager to steal your money. I asked them to replace three broken valves under the sink. They said gave me a free estimate, and then came, and charge me for $ 359 just for three valves! We are the first time home buyer and never use plumbing service before and don’t know the market price. After that another plumber said he will do that for just $ 170. The work is pretty easy if I have the tool to turn off the main valve I would do it myself. But for this company, I would never use them again.

I am a huge DIY lover. I don’t mind getting my hands dirty and saving a ton of money at the same time. However, I must say, that DIY homeowners such as myself are few and far between (don’t mean to toot my own horn, but… toot, toot!)
Recently purchased a 1986 home in the Lutz area, original gas propane water heater — believe it or not! The house had been vacant for quite some time and I wasn’t sure if the water heater worked and having never dealt with a gas one decided to have Grable come out to check it, as well as give a quote to replace with a tankless one.
First, the good news…
— The tech successfully turned on the water heater
Now, the bad news…
— The tech was there for less than 45 min. and the cost to stick a lighter up the water heater and turn on the valve was $ 200! (I would type ten exclamation marks, but I hate poor grammar).
— Even worse, their price to replace with tankless unit was $ 2,800! Of which, $ 1,000 was labor and $ 1,800 was the unit. I’ve researched these units, and based on our size house, we can get a comparable one for around $ 1,000. Not to mention, $ 1,000 for labor is insane. All the lines are there, it’s basically just cutting and reattaching
I will not use them again. They are in the business of taken advantage of knowledge-​less homeowners in desperate scenarios. Since then, we’ve successfully repaired our well chlorinator tank PVC lines and moved the galvanized gas lines running in the attic when removing the kitchen soffit to raise the ceiling height.
If you’re not in a dire situation, research your problem, make a trip to Home Depot, and try it yourself.

Read on to see why Bill Grable from Grable Plumbing was able to help somebody all the way in California.
It was 5:00am in California and I woke up to what sounded like shaking pipes on the verge of explosion. I immediately turned off the water valves. I was very concerned because I just had all of my pipes epoxied and that was completed the day before.
I called the company in California that did the epoxy and they said that it would be a few hours before somebody could get out to my house. They also said that they had never heard of this issue before. This concerned me so I decided to call Bill and Grable Plumbing who have done work for my family in the past. I spoke with Bill and he gave me three possible reasons why this could be happening, so I could keep them in my back pocket and refer to them after the epoxy company came out and did their review. Bill also offered to be on the phone when the company comes out and explains the situation.
Not only is Bill extremely knowledgable, he is also a very good person who explains things in a way that the non-​plumber can understand. A rare find and I am very fortunate to have him on my side as I deal with this unfortunate situation.
