2nd time I called, these guys are the best in the neighborhood. I dont always give out 5 stars like a reward. But this company is the one you should call. Forget roto rooter and gillece. They always try to upsell you something you dont need. It's not the case for Sembower though. My furnance stop blowing hot air and I guess it was minor. But the tech who came out, Eric was his name did maintenance on my furnance and made sure everything was working properly. Great guy. Answered the most common questions anyone had. Really good company to call for service. Prices are competitive but the work shows for it. Better than the others. Kudos to sembower.

Not a very happy camper. I called them to take care of a leak at my house that I had noticed. They were prompt, came out a lot earlier than I thought they would. The ended up replacing a wax ring and bolts on an upstairs toilet and then looked at the master bath about a leak in the drain. When I asked them for an estimate they told me about $2700. I texted a contractor friend and said no way do I do this, NO WAY!
The contractor was at my house today 6/28 and replaced the seal and the piece of ceiling that needed to be cutaway to access under the shower stall. $200! Make sure you question them about everything, never felt so uncomfortable dealing with a local business, that I have trusted in the past, no more. You lost a good customer.

They cleared the trouble but be prepared for the bill. Because they aren't the least expensive plumbers on the block. They ran a snake through the line.
