The gentleman I talked to was very pleasant and very helpful and when he found out that the problem we were having was with a commercial toilet list that had just been installed he was saying that's not the type of work that he does and he gave me a recommendation to somebody and he was very helpful and I would recommend calling him and at least checking out his service. read more

I could have died from carbon monoxide poisoning. I hired Frank, he never told me his last name, to repair two bathroom drain pipes that shared one wall in early March 2026. I asked him if I would need a work permit pulled for these repairs and he said "no". I thought F.S. Plumbing was a licensed plumbing company. I later found out it is not a licensed plumbing company. I also found out from both St. Louis County and St. Charles County that a permit would have been required for these four repairs. When Frank came out to do the work, he tore out a part of the wall in my bathroom, he said the only way to repair both drain pipes was to cut a hole into the metal vent that was inside the wall. I asked him if it could be easily repaired and he said that it would be an easy fix and that I could fix it myself with a piece of metal and a few screws. He told me he thought it was a cold air return. When I told him my cold air return was in the hallway, he didn't respond. I then told him I thought that was the vent coming off my furnace and asked if he wanted to go to the basement to look. He had been in my basement earlier to look at my outdoor faucet pipes since he was going to repair them as well. He declined going to look in the basement to see what the vent was and he proceeded cutting into the vent. He cut a large hole in the vent and the way that it was cut I saw no way to repair it since the one drain pipe was running right through it. I decided to Google "can you cut a hole in a furnace vent?" I got the quick response of "absolutely not". I called my local fire marshal and he agreed that it should have never been cut due to it being the furnace and water heater flue vent for carbon monoxide release. I called a retired HVAC friend and he said Frank, a plumber, should have known that you can't cut open a furnace flue vent. He told me not to pay Frank until I found out how much it would cost to replace the flue section. After I researched and found out this information, Frank asked to be paid. I told him I couldn't pay him that day until I found out exactly what it was going to cost to replace the flue vent. He said he wouldn't leave my house until I paid in full. I felt threatened and intimidated so I wrote him a check for the full amount of $1495. Frank left the house and, I found out later, he immediately drove to my personal bank (of the check) and cashed the check that same day. Also, when Frank left my house, he didn't tell me to not use my heat or hot water, or to turn them off in the basement. I could have died of carbon monoxide poisoning if I hadn't called my friend, later, who told me this fact. My friend told me how to shut off the gas furnace and water heater valves after Frank left to cash my check. I didn't have heat or hot water for over two weeks until the flue vent was ordered, delivered, and replaced. (The vent was a special order and came from out of State since it was a vent from the 1960's and no other manufactured flue vents would fit properly or safely). Frank refused to pay for the repair which turned out to be a replacement of the section of flue vent between the two bathrooms. I got 4 bids for him so he would see I was trying to get him the lowest price for the flue replacement. The HVAC bids ranged from $1500 - $2500. Frank came over to my house a few days after his initial work and said he was going to "fix" my flue vent. He was holding a tube of caulk and a piece of metal. I told him again that the flue section had to be completely replaced. He didn't believe that the flue had to be replaced even though a fire marshal and six HVAC guys said the situation was very dangerous and the vent section had to be replaced. I spoke to Frank, off and on, for three weeks giving him ample time to do the right thing and pay for the flue replacement. He refused, and the last time I texted him he texted me "God is watching". I had the flue vent replaced and I paid for it. I, also, had to have another plumber redo the drain pipe repairs that Frank charged me $895, I had to pay an additional $1000 for the drain pipes to be moved to the correct position, away from the vent. I had to have the wall repaired with new dry wall and tape since the HVAC man had to tear the wall out to get to the entire flue vent. I contacted YELP in late March since Frank has the red YELP GUARANTEE but they have not responded to my filed claim. I have contacted the Missouri Attorney General Consumer Complaint department and they have opened complaints against YELP and F.S. Plumbing and are currently investigating the claims. read more

My main water valve starting leaking so Frank from F.S. Plumbing was quick to respond with a price and time the next day (was even able to make it out on a Saturday)! Frank stayed in touch to update me for time and ETA of his arrival. He was able to fix our problem and was super knowledgeable about all of our plumbing needs. He was nice enough to take a look at our kitchen faucet that also had a slow leak to help diagnose that problem. Great local small business that works hard to make sure customers are treated right. Highly recommend! read more

Contacted on Monday and at my house today, Wednesday. Had a faulty bathtub leaking faucet. Replaced it and as good as new.

Great comms, quick scheduling, on time and great work. Will be my go to plumber. Thanks!

FS Plumbing was very easy to work with. I explained the problem, he gave me an estimate. I called around for other estimates and his undercut the other's, one company was about 30% more - that's a lot! We agreed on a date and time for the repair. He arrived as agreed, answered 101 questions I had (not all related to the repair he was there for), did a great job, cleaned everything up before he left and charged what he estimated. I definitely recommend him and will call him first if I ever need a plumber again. read more

Response time was excellent service was excellent quality was excellent. Definitely recommend

Frank replaced my 22 year old water heater. It hadn't stopped working, but I knew it was on its last legs. Frank was able to schedule me for 4 days later. The price was excellent and so was the service. I would highly recommend him. He's an independent. Not a big flashy van and advertising. Won't see him on TV or hear him on the radio. Not a fleet of vehicles . Just a solid, qualified plumber who got the job done. read more

Frank was quick to reply to my initial request for an estimate and kept up timely communications until the job was done. He was very courteous and professional and just a fun guy to talk to.

Looking for an old school plumber that's honest and does good work? Look no further. You have found what you are looking for. I was starting to think they didn't exist anymore. I was pleasantly surprised to find one. After getting ghosted by one outfit and ignored by another, I hit the reviews and decided to pick up the phone and give Frank a call. Excellent choice. He was out the next day and had my problem solved in short order. I know who I'm calling for my next plumbing problem. Excellent service. I doubt I could get quality work done any cheaper. read more

Won't go out and look at the issue in person only wants to do it over the phone. I need the problem fixed hands on.

FS Plumbing replaced an old toilet after he gave me an estimate of cost upfront on replacement which was reasonable price. He came on time & finished in good time & cleaned after completed. Frank was very pleasant to deal with. He provided the American Standard toilet & it flushes great with 1.3 L water. I am having him come & fix my water heater tomorrow after calling him today. read more

Talked about my needs through yelp, and gave me an immediate estimate on a Sunday. Haven't used his service yet, but gett an estimate this fast and easy is huge! read more

Called Frank for a garbage disposal that was leaking. Also mentioned I had a shower faucet drizzling water while turned off. Frank let me know he was in Colorado and he recommended calling his son in law, Jeramy set up appointment for two days later, Friday, then that afternoon he called to say he was sick. He told Frank that I would be calling him for another referral. End of their communication. Despite calling Frank, texting him, he did not return any further calls or texts. I had the right number. So I called a different company (SOS Plumbers. Just as inexpensive, but next day service, and offered money saving tips). I won't waste time or effort on Frank anymore. read more

Called FS plumbing to replace hot/cold water valves for washer and got an immediate response. Frank was great and he was able to give me an estimate promptly which I greatly appreciated.

If you are looking for an experienced, honest, and reasonably priced plumber then FS plumbing is the one to call. read more

I've never had to hire a plumber before so, when my outdoor faucet sprung a leak due to a frozen and cracked pipe, I was simply not in the mood to leave the decision up to chance. I quickly did some searching for the best plumbers in the area and discovered FS Plumbing. Frank was super easy to communicate with, gave me a fair quote, then provided quality service. He was very prompt to the appointment and quickly determined what he needed to do to resolve my issue. From the moment he stepped into my house until the moment he left, he was extremely respectful of my home (which I very much appreciate). I enjoyed talking with Frank as he performed his work and his knowledge level was unmatched. He's just an all around decent guy and I am already planning to have him back to do some additional repairs that are not as urgent. If you are looking for an honest plumber, reach out to FS Plumbing. I am glad I did and, if you hire Frank, you will be glad as well! read more

FS Plumbing - Brand new outdoor faucet installed by FS Plumbing - Plumbing Near Me

Service Requested, Quality and Value-all top notch. I have at last found a reliable plumber!!!

We had a leaky guest bathroom toilet just as out-of-town family was arriving for the holidays. Frank diagnosed the problem over the phone, provided a reasonable quote, and was incredibly responsive and helpful, getting our issue repaired quickly. Much better outcome than I'd hoped for when we'd originally discovered water dripping through the can lights of the family room below! read more

I recently reached out to Frank again ( second project offer) to see if he could fix a bathtub drain pipe that sprung a leak from cracks that appeared from rust expanding the pipe. The pipe is part of the original plumbing and the house is nearly 74 years old. Luckily I have two full bathrooms and the pipe was attached to the 1st floor bathtub only so it wasn't an "emergency I need Frank right now" lol. Frank was available and we scheduled a meeting so he could assess the severity. The day he showed up, on time and schedule, he determined that it wasn't as bad as he assumed and asked if I wanted him to repair it right away since he was already there. I said yep and he got down to business quickly. He cut off about a 3 1/2 foot section of the iron pipe and installed a PVC pipe, couple of rubber end bushings and clamps he had available. After running the bathtub water a few minutes and letting it drain, no more leakage and I was happy. From the time he arrived to him finishing the job was approximately 2 hours. Now I will need to repaint the installed PVC pipe so it matches my basement celling but no biggie. The pipe is in my finished basement restroom so it's out of sight but, the wife added the painting to the "honey-do-list" lol. It's an eye sore right now but, at least it's out of sight. Frank is an absolute professional nice guy and does keep his word. Just make sure to give him some flexibility since things do come up unexpectedly but, he will communicate with you to keep you informed, not like other contractors that leave you guessing and act like they're doing you a favor...yeah right! Not Frank and his rates are reasonable compared to others I've dealt with over the years. Thanks again Frank! read more

Had a water heater that I could not perform annual maintenance on as the tank was plugged off with sediment. Called 2 different companies and no one could show up until the following week.

Look that word up if you have to. Now my go-to plumber.! read more

I needed a water line run to my new refrigerator ice maker and Frank gave me an estimate without charging me for a service call and expertly installed a shutoff valve and water line in my 80yo home where there had previously been none.

The price was reasonable, and we agreed on the install date and time. Frank arrived on time, and his work was very professional. We will definitely hire Frank again and recommend him to friends and neighbors. read more

As a construction professional myself, I value those who are a dedicated to their craft. Frank is one of those individuals that will invest in your own best interest while holding to his own standards. After replacing an ancient water heater and valves for less than the "big boys" I asked if he could install a smart water valve where our main enters the house (after the PRV of course). As it is/was new technology we managed to get it installed (with Frank's accommodating nature of running to plumbing supply houses). All while holding to his quote. Of course the PRV was bad as well but we adjusted the new valve until I can decide if I'm up to the task of the replacement. If not, I know who I'm calling! Highly recommended! read more

Frank did a great job replacing our kitchen faucet. He arrived when he said he would, and got the job done efficiently.

FS Plumbing: Frank fixed a toilet that kept running and sometimes made a hi-pitched noise. He was very knowledgable and efficient. We were very happy that he fixed the toilet. Prompt, nice, reasonably priced. read more

I recommend F.S. Plumbing without reservation. I had originally been assigned another vendor through my home warranty company but that would have meant waiting a week or more for them to come out. Frank was able to come within 24 hours of me contacting him. Even though he had to run out to purchase a valve to fix my issue, that didn't change the price he quoted me originally. The work he did was stellar and he was extremely profesional. Hire him and you will have peace of mind that your problem will be fixed right and for a fair price! read more

Can't recommend Frank enough! He was able to come out the day after we called to look at a leak from our shower. He was very friendly and after looking over everything, he recommended that we try a small repair ourselves in lieu of paying him to do it. Frank said if that doesn't work, we should call again, as the situation will require more extensive work. We really appreciate his honesty! read more
