I had a leak in my waterline between the water meter and my house. Didn't know it for months as…read morethe leak only caused a damp area at the end of my drive, but the water bill sure let me know. I started looking for a plumber once the city confirmed the leak was as stated above. My water line comes into my house underneath a series of concrete retaining walls. I had 2 companies that said they couldn't do it. Another where the owner looked at the job and was supposed to get back to me and never did. I got concerned and was fortunate to get a recommendation for Jake's company. He called me back the same day. He looked at the job and I suggested he move the water meter to the other side of the drive. It removed the retaining wall issue as the boring work could disturb its foundation. Jake's bid explained the work and the price was reasonable given the few other quotes I did get. He kept me informed on the permit process and subcontractor arraignments. He was able to have a new line bored under my driveway to come in through the garage floor so as to not damage my tile floor in the finished space. He came in on time and on budget and gave me a new outdoor faucet by my garage entry door. He listened and was easy to work with.

BRRRR! Anyway....) I quickly turned to Yelp, and after seeing a few 5 star reviews, including 2 by people I know (that's why Yelp works, y'all!) and trust, I gave him a call late yesterday afternoon. He was awesome and also tried to help me resolve the issue on my own. I gave it a try, and before I could cry this morning at my complete and utter fail, he called bright and early to see if I needed him to come over! :) ROCK ON! He was here right on time, took his boots off (no booties, just socks!) to keep our floors clean, super friendly and had my stubborn frozen pipes thawed and the problem identified and solved in under an hour! As if that wasn't awesome enough....COME ON DOWN! The PRICE was RIGHT! (yeah, that's right, it's Bob Barker time). Bob Fickel is just plain awesome, and his assistant Blake was pretty nice too. Bob's my favorite plumber, even over James Denton (don't ask, or else I'll tell you). (Not to mention, it turns out that I know his niece in a galaxy far far away (western Kansas) but I didn't realize that until he was on his way out. Small town for the WIN!!) Yeah, I did just reference Star Wars and a game show in the same review. You're welcome. PS: This is the perfect review for my 300th review on Yelpdom!! PPS: The one-star review? Take it with one grain of salt.

Bob is my hero. Seriously, he reminds me of my dad. He's probably the most honest, reasonable…read moreplumber/handyman/service provider I've ever worked with. I'm assuming part of the reason he can offer such affordable rates is because he's a little old school - no website, he doesn't "do email" or take credit cards. But you can call him on a Sunday, and if he's available, he'll come right out. No after hours or emergency fees like most companies charge. My house in Roeland Park has renters, so before I found Bob - thanks to Yelp!! - it was a challenge fixing any plumbing issues from Denver. Other plumbing companies charged me $125 just to "look at the problem". It was ridiculous. Bob will only do the work that's necessary and even throws in great advice or tools to help you maintain your house. (I have tree roots that get in the pipes, so Bob just gave my renters some liquid to pour down the drain every quarter and kill the tree roots). I can't say enough good things about Bob. His business can't handle major plumbing issues, but if he can't fix the problem, he will refer you to someone who will fix the problem - for 1/2 the price (or less) of every other KC company I've contacted. He is fantastic!! If you need a plumber, save yourself some time and money, and call Bob.

Jerime didn't do the job himself, sending Carl and Caleb instead. They were clean, polite, efficient, and thorough. They showed up on-time, didn't bat an eyelash at the heat-pump inter-tie we had connected to the drain port on the old unit, or that we needed an expansion-tank installed (which we also purchased from Lowes). They got the job done in a little under 2 hours, including a fair amount of copper pipe work above the new unit to attach the expansion tank.

Higgins Sewer & Drain Cleaning was the ONLY company that was will to come in an look at the issue and fix the problem. The big guys either didn't want to mess with the problem or immediately pointed the finger at the wastewater company and said that I'd probably have to dig up my sewer line since my property was older. The technician came out and cleaned out 4 large bunches of tree roots and the water immediately started draining. They came back a couple of days later to camera my sewer stack and sewer line and delivered great news that I had no other issues. I was also extremely pleased with the reasonable price they charged for their services. I will definitely use this business again when needed and for preventive measures.
