How Garvin's only has 4 stars is beyond me. I have used them many times and have always loved the work they do and all the plumbers and staff. This is an incredible company. I won't use anyone else and always recommend them to others. read more

When you call Garvin's you get a cheerful bot who answers the phone with the catchphrase of "We clean out sewers, not bank accounts!" Well. My experience is ironic, then, yes? I was recommended to contact Garvin's by Groundworks, a company that strives very hard to do an excellent job for their customers. See, Groundworks had done some major uplifting of a broken basement wall, due to freezing, and they installed multiple steel I-beams to shore up the wall, then inserted epoxy into the cracks to finish the job. "Lou," a tech told me. "Upon finishing the work, we did a survey of the rest of the house and found that there's some concerning settling at the front part of the home. The north end. You need to get a water intrusion company to check that out. We don't do that." "Great," I sighed. "Who do you recommend?" "Garvin's." So, I called Garvin's, got the aforementioned bot with the promise not to clean out my bank account, and told the kind lady that I needed an expert in water intrusion. "Do you do that?" "We do!" she said. "I can have a tech out tomorrow!" "Um," I replied. "This is a long-standing issue. There aren't any pipes spurting water. It's not THAT urgent." "No worries, would you like a tech tomorrow anyway?" "That would be great!" The tech arrived the next day and called me. "Mr. Berger, I looked in the crawl space and there is water there, but no plumbing. So I don't know what you want me to do." "Oh," I said, taken aback. "I want you to find out where that water is coming from! That's why I hired you!" "No," he insisted. "We are plumbers. We only work on pipes." "Well, can you check with your supervisors? I was told, when I asked, that Garvin's does water intrusion detection." "Sure. In the meantime, I did notice soft drywall on the ceiling basement, which is wet." That was a slow leak when the not-often-used powder room on the first floor gets flushed. The leak was new to me, so when he asked me if he could cut into the drywall to determine the source, I agreed. He called back while I was on a conference call, didn't leave any voicemails, and when I got a phone call from their office manager, I had just hung up with the conference call. Long story short, the toilet needs a new wax ring and the shutoff valve for the toilet is old and no longer functional. The quote was $850, but I could have a $100 coupon discount if I agreed. "Send me the quote," I said. "That sounds a bit high to replace a wax ring, an intake valve, and the innards of the toilet tank. I could buy a new toilet entirely and replace it for that much." They sent me a quote and then, here's the point of the review, billed me $661, which they immediately processed against my credit card. What did they do? They poked a hole in sodden drywall, determined that a wax ring was needed, and repaired nothing. This review is 2 stars because they have the legal right to bill me for the two hours that it took while the tech awaited the ability to talk to me. The review is 2 stars because charging me $661 feels punitive in that I didn't meet the tech's expectation of availability and the company's willingness to, yes, clean out my bank account. I don't want a refund. I want everybody to know how Garvin's treats people. Like free bank accounts, withdrawal only. read more

My family and I have been using Gavin's for 20 plus years and they've been at our house and a rental in the past week with great results both times. The techs are always willing, know their stuff and thorough. Doesn't hurt at all that the pricing always seems fair too. For plumbing and drain issues Gavin's is always first call and there has never been a hiccup. read more

I am a board member at a 148 unit HOA with tons of aging plumbing on the property. When I joined the board we had corporate plumbers who were gouging and taking advantage of our community. We interviewed over 8 different plumbing companies before we decided to work with Garvin's. The first time they fixed a leak it was not only clear they were more experienced and better equipped but also less expensive. Thankfully we built a relationship with Garvin's because a year later we had a water main break and we had to have their excavation crew come out and fix the break. They were super responsive and were on site within 10 minutes or less with a quote soon after. As an HOA we had to get multiple quotes all the other quotes were 3-5x the price of Garvin's quote and they were not responsive. There is a reason Garvin's is the oldest family owned plumbing business in Denver they take care of their customers and their community. They definitely rescued our community and didn't take advantage of us in the process. Big thanks to the whole team at Garvin's! read more

See all

Garvin's is the most responsive and honest plumbing business I have ever worked with. Fair pricing and always answers every question. Highly reccomend! read more

Honesty! I trust all the folks at Garvin's. James was just the most recent. Great advice and patient explanations. Fair pricing and sensitivity to my situation. I would never ask for more. read more

Jason was absolutely the best in cleaning out my kitchen drain! It was a difficult task but he kept working on it until it was successful. So happy we chose Garvin's to tackle this problem! read more

Dennis from Garvin's showed up on time and got right to work. I should also mention that scheduling was an absolute breeze. Dennis got the job done and was pleasant enough. There was one major negative. Dennis got fingerprints and dirt all over our freshly painted walls going down to the basement. He did lay carpet down, but then proceeded to Get grimy dirt marks all the way up and down the stairs and in the bathroom where our toilet was located. Very disappointed with his cleanliness or lack there of. maybe wearing some gloves would have been helpful, especially if he changed them during his visit. That didn't happen and it took me two hours to clean up after him. I still can't remove all of the grimy marks that he made. read more

Garvin's has always been the "go to" plumbing service, big or small, for the condominium where I live. They have quick turnaround for service and the plumbers are knowledgable and very pleasant to work with. Their work is not cheap nor are they expensive. My opinion is that they are reasonable in price for the reliable & knowledgeable service provided. I will continue to call them for any plumbing issues that may arise. read more

I have used Garvins twice for plumbing needs. From setting the appointment with Julie to the pre-call with plumber James everything has been organized. professional and fairly priced. James put on shoe covers without me asking (very uncommon for vendors to have/bring or even ask if clients want them to be worn in property). He diagnosed the issues and helped me understand the best course of action. I will be using Garvins again soon for future plumbing and drain cleaning needs. A family business where they truly care and clean drains not bank accounts. read more

I have used Garvin's multiple times over the past few years, for sewer scopes, sewer cleaning, and regular plumbing projects. I love that they're a local, family-owned company, and they always send skilled and friendly plumbers. They're affordable (even dropping miscellaneous fees when I've needed multiple things fixed) and fast, often same day. They should be your first call when you have plumbing needs. read more

i would highly recommend Garvin's for any plumbing & sewer issues you have. They offer fair pricing & fast responses. Nate was skilled, professional & very patient explaining everything. I will definitely be using Garvin's & Nate again for any future plumbing & drain problems. read more

Garvins is our GOTO plumber for sewer back-up problems. They always respond quickly even after hours and holidays. Problem solved. Great job Quentin and thank you Laura for the prompt dispatch. read more

Sewer line not draining properly due to tree roots. Called Garvin's Sewer Service on a Saturday afternoon. Jason E was here at 8:00 AM Sunday morning. Jason E was fantastic, very friendly and professional, answering all our questions. He did a great job in fixing our problem. In the future we plan to use Garvin's again and will request Jason E. read more

Garvin's, we appreciate your prompt service and excellent professionalism, as manifest by both your friendly office staff and Jared, the knowledgeable and kind technician. read more

Jason E. was fantastic. We couldn't have been happier. Our sewer was running slow and called Garvin's at 7pm and Jason was out at 8am the next morning. I though the bill was very fair for the work he did. Will definitely have them as my goto plumber. read more

"We clear drains, not your wallet"! This is a true statement. They came out on a Sunday evening and gave me an estimate that was fair. I was expecting a huge bill. Nope, the plumber that could not do the complete the original job (I didn't know not all plumbers do all types of plumbing) recommended Garvin's are will never hear from me again! Excellent value. read more

Well, not the answer we were hoping for, butcefficiwnt and friendly. We have a problem they are going to come back to repair. Good pricing. Jarid is a really nice employee. Careful and hard working. We'll see how this repair goes, but, as in the past with other jobs, these guys are good. : ) Highly recommended. read more

Laura got us scheduled within the hour for our backflow issue. Wes came to fix it and was done in an hour or less. Friendly, knowledgeable, and great service. Will definitely be using Garvin's Sewer Service as our plumber moving forward! Highly recommend read more

I have used Garvin's for several years and they always do a great job at a fair price. Most recently James came out for a faucet issue. He was on time, friendly, professional, and quickly made the repair. I highly recommend Garvin's. read more

We had some problems with our toilet on the main floor. It would not flush properly. We contacted Garvin Sewer Service to see if they could send Jon Mac to come help us. We had used his service once before and he was very good. Besides, he lives in the same town as us. Jon not only showed up promptly but a few minutes early. We hate to wait for repair men, don't you? It only took him about 10 minutes to diagnose the problem and repair it. And because it did not take a long time, it did not cost us much out of pocket. We will always use Garvin and Jon for our plumbing repair needs. read more

Great communication and great service. Seth diagnosed a very difficult sewer clean out and was a total PRO. I highly recommend that you use Garvins. Kevin read more

I contacted Garvins to inquire about getting my kitchen sink drain opened up. I mentioned that I had tried all the "amateur" methods and was unsuccessful. They sent someone out and I was advised that it would cost $221. I agreed, the work was performed, and he handed me a tablet to authorize my credit card for $221. When I received the email receipt an hour later, the charge was now $285. When I asked why I was told it was because I had "used chemicals". This fee was never mentioned or alluded to during the entire transaction because I might have objected to spending just under $300 to clear a sink drain. I pointed out that it was not ethical to add a charge after the card has been signed but my protests were ignored. Not the integrity nor honesty that I had expected. read more

Very impressed with the team at Garvin, both in the drain cleaning side and plumbing side. James replaced a couple old p-traps for us, quickly and cleanly and set up a follow up with their drain cleaning team to address slow drains. Fair pricing as well. read more

We have a 1926 house in Baker. We have a basement shower that has no "P-trap" and so sewer smell overwhelms the basement. We need someone to jackhammer the basin and install a p trap ($10 K at least)? We also have a kitchen sink main drain that is broken and needs a grease trap by-pass to the main sewer line however this means cutting through a concrete patio to get to the pipes (about a $20K job?). We have nearly $30K of business. We had one guy come over and look at both problems and he said he was sending his colleague over to scope the sink and give us an estimate on everything but that guy never showed up or called and neither did the first guy. I guess they have so much business that a $30K job is not of interest to them? Either that or they were offended by my gay flag and other anti Trump yard sign and decided not to follow through? In either case, it is unprofessional and we will call another provider. read more

James is absolutely the best plumber! He has helped us with multiple projects in the past year and one-half. including installation of new toilets, replacement of faucets both indoors and outdoors, and replacement of galvanized pipe in a rental. He is efficient and friendly. Garvin's is lucky to have him! read more

We had Seth come to our home to clear the main sewer line and the kitchen sink line. Historically, since Chuck used to work there, we have used Garvin's to clear the mainline to the street for many consecutive years because of cottonwood tree roots that would cause backups. Seth is amazing. Qualified, clean, respectful, thorough, hardworking, Nice, he is the kind of young person that makes the future seem bright. Thank You. read more

I'm pretty disappointed in Garvin's plumbing. It used to be my go-to for helping snake the drains in my 1960's home. The last two services were my last straw. One of the last two services someone ruptured my bathtub pipe, and caused flooding in the basement. The very last service they failed to tell me how the prices went up when I booked over the phone. When the plumber came over is when I found out how high the prices were-- and they are shockingly higher than I have ever paid. So I took the day off to get the sink snaked for nothing, because I had to cancel on the spot due to the surprise price increase. I hope this business is able to go back to their original customer service and pricing. For now, save your time and money. read more

Their plumbers are great, but when I found out one of them didn't do the job right months later (in a guest bathroom I never use), management didn't make it right. I will never use them again. read more

Today was the 2nd time I've used Garvins and I'm super happy again! Our technician, Kyron Inman, is absolutely the best!! He is thorough, cleans up after the job and takes the time to explain exactly what he did! He will also check in with another technician if he isn't sure about something, which I really appreciate! We have a pretty old house with old pipes and have used several different plumbers during the 10 years we've lived here. I feel that we finally have a keeper! Thank you Kyron and Garvin's! read more

We had a sewer line backup in the basement and Garvin's was able to accommodate us the same day, within a few hours of my call. Our technician Jarid called in advance, arrived in time, and was very efficient and thorough with getting the line cleared. Without having a ton of experience with this service, I feel that the price was very reasonable, especially considering the same day service. I'm very impressed with Garvin's and would not hesitate to use them again. read more

They always get someone out fast. This time Jarid troubleshooted out problem over the phone and he said it's not the pipes, it's the toilet. Sure enough he was right. We had a blockage in our toilet. He was very patient with us as we had questions to make sure that was the issue. read more

Excellent service, very fast response and HONEST. The problem I called for was roots in the drain - I THOUGHT. The technician, Dennis, found it a different problem and fixed it quickly. The cost was far less than what it would have been. Kudos to an honest company with honest technicians!!! I'll be using Garvin's again. (Aurora, Colorado). read more

Jarid from Garvin's Sewer Service arrived promptly last Friday, February 28th, and went right to work to unclog our kitchen sink. He was very polite, quick, and explained every thing he was doing. I would highly recommend him and Garvin's for your pluming and sewer needs! Thanks, Jarid! read more

was on time very knowledgeable explain exactly what he was going to do and how he was going to do it very easy to work with I would use again. read more

We had a great experience with Garvin's Plumbing and Sewer! Our tankless water heater stopped working and was giving error codes. Stephen and Kai came out, did troubleshooting, climbed around in our attic to repair it, and then cleaned up and made sure everything was back in working order. Stephen also thought to take photos to document the issue, and explained everything clearly so we'd understand what had happened and what to watch for. They were timely, efficient, and so kind and courteous! The pricing was affordable and I'm so grateful to have my water heater up and running again. read more

Garvin's Plumbing was quick and responsive when I arrived home from work and my whole plumbing wasn't working. They were able to send Wesley out within the hour and he was fantastic! Knowledgeable, understanding and got the job done quick. I will always call Garvin's for my plumbing needs moving forward! Hopefully not for a long time lol! read more

Garvin's sent a Jarid right out and he was very knowledgeable and solved our problem right away. We're very happy his work and if we need anything else, we'll definitely use Garvin's again. read more

Garvin's has been reliable, fair and thorough both times we have used them. The office knew we had a pretty gross backup in our basement and made sure to get someone out first thing. Caleb was communicative and knowledgeable. I trust this company and their team. read more

I was trying to leave a review on their website but it doesn't appear there is a link to do that so I will do it here. I wanted to commend James for a JOB WELL DONE!!! We had a leaking pipe from my kids' bathtub but couldn't fix it myself and was recommended (by a friend) to have Gavin's come out and take a look. James came out, assessed the situation and ran through all of my options. Not only did he explain everything in great detail, he also showed me the pricing and was able to SAVE me a some money in the process. He did exactly what he said he was going to do, and ultimately didn't need to do anything extra that we initially thought he was going to have to do. He was professional, neat, cleaned up after himself and explained and showed me everything he did. What I thought was going to be a more expensive job, was much less than it turned out to be. I would HIGHLY recommend Gavin's, but more importantly, I would HIGHLY recommend JAMES! read more
