I am proud to say we have been customers of LD smith since 2012, when Lance was the only plumber in…read moretown willing to fix our broken sewer line after another plumber botched the job and made it worse. Since then, they have done work on my salon and two more houses we moved into. Each and every time they have gone above and beyond in courtesy, punctuality, cleanliness, quality and trustworthiness. It is rare that I have been able to say that with other contractors and companies with which we have done business. Today, Phil and Joe came to replace a cracked drain pipe from a second floor bathroom that was leaking in the basement. They pinpointed where the leak was, found it in the wall and managed to cut a modest, perfect square in the wall to remove the broken drain, which will make it a sinch for me to fix since they saved the drywall and I can put it right back in. When they got here, they found evidence of another leak as the pipe travels across the basement to a main drain, so they replaced the whole section for us for only an additional $200! With the entire section of old cast iron replaced with PVC, it looks so much better and fits better along the ceiling than the previous pipe that was hanging down and in our way. Everything was clean and put back together when they left. They have saved us more than once and it has been a pleasure giving them our business. If we ever stop moving into these old houses we may never need them again, but if we do Im super glad they are there.

Dirty Stinking Dishonest…read more Warning to not use LD Smith.... Our experience with them began in 2024 and ended several months ago. They came to our home to replace sewer line in basement. They took out old line and installed the new line in an upward slope (all sewer lines need to be installed in a downward slope in order for waste to flow out of house). They created a situation where waste could not exit our home and we paid them over $11,000 do to this to us. We had no choice but to use another company to fix the horrible mess LD Smith made in our home. We tried and failed to recover the money we paid to LD Smith through the courts. We believe LD Smith has been to court many times before and knows exactly how to manipulate the Indiana legal system and competing contractors to get favorable outcomes for themselves. If you are unfortunate enough to call LD Smith for help, please read their contract in detail before signing and hiring them. Their contract limited our ability to recover all of what we paid them and was somewhat confusing. If you are unfortunate enough to hire LD Smith and find yourself in a similar situation, document everything be it photographs, communications, contracts, etc. Hiring an independent plumbing inspector who will help to document and collect evidence and who will testify to that evidence in court is essential. If these things are not done, there is no one and nothing else that will help you through it successfully. LD Smith treated us with condescension and disdain, denied anything was wrong with what they did in our home, and blamed us, other contractors or other issues for causing the problem they created. They did not care at all about us as customers. Our sincere warning to anyone is to not hire LD Smith. No reputable company would have you sign a contract that limits their liability. No reputable company would install sewer line that does not meet code requirements. No reputable company would treat customers the way they have treated us.

I contacted Grateful Plumber through Yelp's project feature. I noted that they were a plumber that…read morequalified for Yelp's guarantee program, a neat program that I've fortunately never had to use. I did my initial contact outside of business hours. Early the next morning, I had a message from Adam B. Once I got to work, I returned the call and quickly described my issue and what I believed it to be. The first available appointment wasn't until Monday (it wasn't urgent, so I wasn't worried about going the weekend). I got my timeframe. I had a couple other appointments that day, so I ended up taking the day off so I could easily be available. I immediately liked that they told me who would be arriving - AND that was who arrived. I also liked that they use a customer portal that allows you to have some security if you pay online or to review your records. Christian arrived (there was one other person with him). It took him a couple minutes to diagnose the issue he believed it to be, and it took him not a lot longer to determine that diagnosis correct. He quoted the price, I agreed, and he got to work. After finishing the work, he determined the original issue I'd believed it to be wasn't quite needing to be addressed (but will be in the near future). We discussed options, including ways I could save a bit. Christian was personable and explained things in a way I could understand. The issue was likely caused by me, but he managed to avoid using the word "idiot" at any point. The repair was done in a timely manner. The price ended up being a bit lower than quoted. I appreciated his honesty as he very easily could have pointed me toward a repair not needing done yet. It also became obvious the last person I'd used had really only done half the job. Everything has worked beautifully since Christian finished. There are likely a couple more projects I'll tackle in the near future, and I won't hesitate to return to Grateful Plumber. The housecall was $59, but that was credited toward the repair once I decided to have them do the work. Friendly employees. Good follow-through. Fair pricing. Quality work. Problem solved. That's 5-star for me and another winner for Yelp's project feature.

With the freezing temperatures, we had a water line burst and flood our furnace. I called Chapman…read moreand they scheduled us for both repairs the same day. The furnace tech diagnosed the furnace as needing at least a new control board and couldn't be sure other parts weren't bad. The furnace was full of ice. Based on the price of the potential repairs, it made more sense to replace the furnace. The installers arrived first thing the next morning and we had heat around lunch time. Everyone from Chapman was clean, courteous and did great work. It wasn't cheap for any of this, but we feel that the prices were reasonable, especially since we were 100% done the very next day.

Do NOT waste your time, like they did mine. Man was 45 minutes late (I learned he will not stop…read moretalking). Learned his entire life story, he said many questionable things and some foul language. Was in my home for over 2 hours. Gave me a quote for new unit $18,000. The quote from the company I decided on is the exact same equipment I will be getting for $10,000 less. Tried to get me to schedule before he left and said he would take $200 off, thanks but no thanks!! He saw a woman and tried to take advantage, or maybe that is their typical cost. But get another quote before picking this joke of a company.

Ciriello's had a subcontractor replace the pipe going from the house out to the city sewer. During…read morethis process, they removed perimeter drain access without notifying us and left an eight foot hole unfilled for more than a week. This caused 6+ inches of water to submerge the basement and thousands of dollars in damages, on top of an extraneous insurance claim that will likely result in our policy being cancelled. Also, part of the above project was to replace the sidewalk leading from the driveway to the front porch. It was only until they charged a late due invoice (of double the amount of the quoted work, I might add) and were threatened with warranted legal recourse did they finally complete the job, months after the pipe itself was replaced.

I had some understanding of the situation and I know NOTHING about plumbing. He didn't try to add on extra services or un-necessary repairs. He was on time, very polite and solved our problems. It's obvious how knowledgeable and experienced he is. We thought this malfunction involving the septic system and our bathrooms was going to become a very expensive monster. It was manageable and we were all able to sleep easy that night. He is going to come back next week to check up on things and advised us to call if we have further issues. This plumber has my family's highest recommendation. If you need plumbing help do not hesitate to contact him.
