Report
Called for a second opinion after a competitor had informed me that it would be about $7,500 repair job with all kinds of issues. Paul was very kind and courteous and had no problems with explaining the details of what he would do, and then he did them and was done in less than an hour having resolved the problem. The competitor had said it would be several weeks for them to resolve the issue. I strongly recommend Elek Plumbing for excellent and honest work. Thank you!

Excellent and courteous service. Prompt and reliable. Derek answered the phone gave me accurate information, called back in minutes to arrange an emergency visit. Jody and Andrew arrived in an hour, made an assessment, and gave a straight forward price to replace the water heater. Kudos to this company for outstanding customer care and professional and personable employees.

From start to finish, this company was amazing. VERY friendly staff from Kelly, Brian, Jesse, Steve and the whole team that came out to replace my cast iron sewer line. Very knowledgeable, easy to get a hold of and came out immediately! Hands down they are THE best in the area! I cannot thank them enough for everything they have done. I will certainly use them in the future. Cannot recommend them enough. Give them call, you won't regret it!

I'm not big posts but when someone stands out I feel they should be congratulated and encouraged to continue. Needing a plumber I contacted several companies one of which was Elek. Although in the end I wasn't able to utilize their services on this project I will save the contact with the belief I will at some point in the future. As a business they have good communication practices. The sales rep/installer/technician Jody arrived when agreed, was polite, professional, concise and informative. No pressure, just the facts, a pleasure. Thank you Elek, Jody for the time and consideration taken Jared & Heather
