Poor Quality and zero responsibility

I had an old sewer pipe that eroded and needed to be replaced. I contacted Jim Dhamer Plumbing as they had done some minor work previously. They dug up a couple areas of our basement and installed new PVC pipes to replace the old clay ones and installed a clean out and new drain. After digging and installing the pipes, they poured the new concrete while leaving roughly 6-8 inches of the PVC drain pipe sticking up above the ground. This was completed on a Friday. We paid them and they promised to come back Monday or Tuesday and cut the drain pipe down to level ground. They failed to come back as promised and a heavy storm occurred the following Wednesday and Thursday. We would had gotten a little bit of water but since they didn't come back and complete the job, the water had no where to go flooded our entire basement the height of the drain pipe.Additionally, we have some additional plumbing needs and have contacted numerous plumbers for estimates. Upon viewing the work done by Jim Dhamer Plumbing, every one of the plumbers that have come in has called the work embarrassing. The clean out is located in a pathway and a safety hazard, and one of the pipes installed is not functioning properly. The concrete replacement was poorly done as well.We have contacted them and hoped they would take some accountability for what they were responsible for but they have chosen to hide behind their insurance carrier. You would think that a family owned business would take pride in their work but this is not the case with JIM DHAMER PLUMBING.Stay away.

Make sure to get estimates from other companies first!

My mother-in-law was charged $425 for 1 hour of work to replace a simple garbage disposal and snake her kitchen sink. I called Jim Dahmer Plumbing on her behalf to inquire about the charges and was told these are set prices ($75 to snake the sink and $350 for the garbage disposal.) A total of $425 for an hour of work plus parts (and the garbage disposal was a 1/2 horse engine - apartment grade- disposal). The work was fine but their prices are extremely high, make sure to get other estimates first!!

Stay Clear

I called out "Jim Dhamer Plumbing" to service my sewer line. The line was backed up due to tree roots. I installed a clean out in my backyard a couple years ago, so to rod out the lines with ease. The plumbers stayed around for about an hour completing a quick rodding and were on their merry way. Two days and $225 later the lines backed up again. I called but they were closed on Sunday, but the answering service states that they are very concerned and to leave a detailed message and that they would call back on the Monday at or around 7:00am. Well at 10:30am I had still not heard from them, I called and explained with a 30 day Guarantee that they need to come back out because they obviously didn't complete a through job. They explained that they would be right out. Five hours later and the plumbing backed up to the point that we had to go to a relatives house for showers,and then they showed up. They completed what they should have done the first time (a complete rodding of the sewer line). I then started to receive phone calls that I owed an additional $115 dollars for labor. What a way to conduct business. I refused to pay, but since they had my credit card number from the first unsatisfactory job, they billed it to that. Save yourself some money and frustration. Stay as far away from "Jim Dhamer Plumbing" as possible.

Highly Recommend!

We had a plumbing problem, and not having a regular plumber to call, we called Dhamer Plumbing off an internet ad from DEX. From my first call to their office right through to the repair job, I was completely satisfied. The repair was done quickly and professionally and the price was exactly what I was quoted over the phone. I was very impressed with their overall response and I wouldn't hesitate to call them again!

Excellent Service, will call again!

Based off of others reviews we called Dhamer when our water heater wasn't working properly. We called around 8AM and they were here within a couple of hours, gave me all my options to fix/replace my 12 year old water heater and did what was asked. Excellent customer service by both the person who answered the phone and the guys who came to do the work. Definitely keeping their card to use them again.

Found a good plumbing company

After having a problem with a plumber (a no-show), a neighbor recommened Jim Dhamer Plumbing based on the work that they performed at his company. Jim Dhamer Plumbing was at our home within two hours after we called for assistance.After explaining the problem to them, they rodded and and used a camera to find the sewer problem. It should be noted that they explained "whats and whys" as they worked. After determining the cause of the problem, we were given an estimate of the cost to correct the problem. We had them fix the problem.We were extremely satisfied with their services because:-they went out of their way to explain the problem-they did not leave a mess; used rags to wipe up any dirt-they wore plastic booties when they came into the house-they were professional and respected our property-this is the first time that I heard a plumber use the words - please and thank you.Try Dhamer. You will not be disappointed.
