They Were Absolutely Amazing!
Brandon and Matthew Lewis (maybe Louis 😬) came out to my apartment today, and from the second they walked in, I knew that the job was going to be done RIGHT the FIRST time! When they came in, I told them the problem that was going on a little bit more in depth, and they told me everything from start to finish: what they were doing, what they were going to check. They were in contact with their boss and my landlord to let them know what was going on—not just half of the problem, the WHOLE problem—to get things actually FIXED the correct way. I have had quite a few people come out over this issue, and here come Matthew and Brandon killing it and fixing the WHOLE problem! I am very thankful that these technicians were the ones who were sent out. My whole hot water tank was gone gone, and everyone else tried to bandaid OR they’d come in and see I had a literal TAD of hot water, turn it off, and dismiss me, and they did exactly what should’ve been done the first time (and this was this company’s FIRST time coming out). I appreciated their honesty from the jump, and their kindness showed towards my kids who were talking their whole ears off. They were absolutely amazing! I’ve told my landlord, and I HOPE AND PRAY this is our company for the rest of my time living here, because I know it’s going to be done right the first time. They were very thorough and even stayed a couple minutes to make sure everything was 100% good. Thank you, Brandon and Matthew L!!! I hope to see you guys again! Thank you for being amazing!!! (I posted this to Google as well)

Very satisfied and will use again
I already left a review on Yelp, but Jesse deserves the credit here on Google too. I tried changing my own anode rods, but the water heater manufacturer had them tightened so much that they would not budge at all. I called another company and was quoted a shocking amount of money. After seeing people online recommend Clog Busterz, I gave them a call. They sent out Jesse L., and he did everything possible to get the anode rods removed and replaced for a fraction of the price I was quoted elsewhere. I’m very satisfied with the job overall and will use Clog Busterz in the future!
Alex Secor
Could not have asked for a better job.
My 30-year-old water heater finally bit the dust, and because I had used Clog Busters for previous plumbing issues, I called them. James arrived later that day to check out exactly what he needed to replace the unit, called around and found one of the size I needed, and provided a fair price for the replacement unit and labor costs. James and Braxton returned the next day and efficiently installed my new unit. Because I had just had a knee replacement, I couldn’t move things around in the laundry room for them, but it was no problem. They moved and replaced everything exactly like it was. Friendly, efficient, helpful, and reliable. Could not have asked for a better job. Thanks James and Braxton.
Teddi Baker
Did a wonderful job on the water heater
Chandler came out and did a wonderful job on the water heater. He was fast and efficient. He is a good worker and did a good job. He is who I would recommend for the job.
Heated Man
I will recommend Clog Busterz to everyone
Our water heater/water leak issue presented a puzzling mystery. We kept having water around the base of our new hot water heater (installed by Logan). Clog Busterz was available after hours to schedule a technician, and Logan was calm, patient, and professional each visit—3 times. He found the source of the leak, and, of course, replaced our failed hot water heater with a new one. I will recommend Clog Busterz to everyone I know.
Sarah Nichter
A job very well done
Last week, we needed a replacement for our electric water heater. Tommy came to the house to give us a quote. We had three other companies do the same. Tommy, with Clog Busterz, searched for all the savings that he could find, including a military discount, to give us a great price—$30–$40 less than the other companies. Dakota Schmidt and his apprentice came to do the install. They were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I watched the entire install. Dakota and his partner asked me lots of questions to make sure that they installed the water heater and the pipes exactly how I wished. They even installed additional shut-off valves, as I requested. They also cleaned the work site after they completed the job. Tommy, Dakota, and apprentice, thank you, gentlemen. A job very well done.
Amos Lapointe
Very satisfied with the service they provided.
Logan and Lamarc were very professional. They came on time and completed replacing my water heater within one hour. They were clean and kept the area clean. Very satisfied with the service that they provided. Highly recommend this company.
Regina Clark
Service Is Amazing
Clog Busterz Plumbing provides top-notch service at bargain prices. I keep returning to them because their prices cannot be beat—and the service is amazing. For my most recent job, they sent Austin to install a new water heater, and he was amazing (as was the case with the previous technicians who came before). Austin was friendly, professional, and, most importantly, competent. If you have any plumbing issues that need addressing, you won't go wrong by going with Clog Busterz!
Randall S
Love our new water heater!
Our water heater was leaking from the cold-water intake valve and we couldn't shut it off. Had to shut off all the water in the house. Called Clog Busterz the next day; got an appointment that same day for Tony to look at it. It was calcified quite a bit and needed to be replaced. Was able to get a new one the same day thanks to Brandon and Logan, and many thanks to Preston for setting everything up. Love our new water heater!

Quick in and out with a new water tank.
Good job. Much appreciated the work done on Easter weekend. Not a good time for a pastor to lose water. Quick in and out with a new water tank. Thank you so much.
Kathy Metzger
Highly recommend—friendly, skilled, and knowledgeable!
Jesse did an outstanding job replacing our water heater. Draining and removing the old unit was a challenge, but he handled it like a true pro. He was friendly and kept me informed throughout and made sure everything was done right. Highly recommend—friendly, skilled, and knowledgeable!
Matthew Schumacher
Absolutely fantastic service!
Absolutely fantastic service! I had a water heater go bad and start leaking all over my bathroom. I called Clog Busterz, and they had two guys out to my house in no time. Christian and Brandon went above and beyond for me and did an amazing job. They were very professional and courteous with my home. I could not recommend these guys enough, and you will not be disappointed in their service. Thank you, Clog Busterz!

Tony and Tyler were very professional. They took the time to answer our questions while installing our new water heater. If we ever have any issues in the future, would definitely call again.
Becca Price
Within five hours our water heater was replaced
When you need good plumbing work in a hurry, you cannot beat Clog Busterz. We've recommended them frequently and used their service at least four times, two of these was a water heater replacement. We only paid labor on the last water heater because they keep up with the warranties on the items they service. Josh is a wonderful technician. He is professional, courteous, and a fast worker. Within five hours of calling, our water heater was replaced, but this is not unusual for them. Honest Fast Reliable Ask for Josh - he's a good one! This is for the business Clog Busterz
Julie A. King-Bolin
I would highly recommend Clog Busterz.
Clog Busterz helped us out! We were in need of a new hot water heater after our old one sprung a leak. Josh and Austin came out the next day and, in less than 3 hours, had talked with the insurance company, picked up a new hot water heater, and then installed it. Not only were they fast, but they were very professional and polite. I would highly recommend Clog Busterz.
Gayle Ewadinger
I am a customer for life.
Water heater went out. Clog Busterz was happy to give me a FREE estimate! AND a correct diagnosis! Lamart (the incredible technician) came over and had the job knocked out in a timely fashion! I'm so very grateful for your very prompt, positive, and professional service. I am a customer for life. Thanks so much, Clog Busterz.
Ricky Lady
I highly recommend them!
We are very pleased with the installation of our new water heater. Clog Busterz was very easy to work with and Austin did a great job with the installation. Very professional. We got estimates from several other companies and Clog Busterz came in a couple of hundred dollars less than the next highest quote. I highly recommend them!
Greg Gerlach
These guys stayed late and made sure we had hot water
Shawn and Scott did an exceptional job replacing our hot water heater that was leaking. Shawn had to talk to our worthless home warranty company only to be told they would not cover any part of it. We were out of hot water for 5 days. These guys stayed late and made sure we had hot water before they left. Very professional, pleasant, and polite. If we ever need service again, we will ask for these two guys.
Gary Hodges
Fair Price and Excellent Work
Jesse helped us with a tricky problem we had with our old, cast-iron pipes. He was able to re-route some plumbing in our basement to be more reliable and much easier to maintain. He was extremely careful to cut as little drywall as was possible, which I particularly appreciated. He even considered the drywall repair process when making the cuts, which is definitely above and beyond. While this was not a cheap job, the price was fair and the quality of the work was excellent. We will use Clog Busterz in the future, and we will ask for Jesse when we do.
John Flannery
Very professional and polite
We had a drain upstairs not working and my washer wouldn’t drain out. We had Clog Busterz come out. Matthew Shepherd and Josh Mullins worked on our pipes and got it fixed. They were very professional and polite. They cleaned up everything! I would highly recommend them to anybody.
Madeline BenDavid
They Responded Super Quick
We just had Dakota come out and take care of a clog for us, and it was awesome! They responded super quick and were here in no time. He got us taken care of even faster! He was extremely friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable. I can’t express how relieved I was to have him here today. They’re going to be our go-to from now on, and we’ll be letting our friends and family know who to call too! Thank you guys, it’s a blessing to be able to flush in peace again!

Couldn’t Have Found a Better Company
My mom, Dianna Taylor, couldn't have found a better company with such a great response. Logan and Matt were professional and comfortable answering her questions. She highly recommends Clog Busterz for your next plumbing problem.
Amanda Taylor
Completely Satisfied Customer
A person answering the phone was the beginning of a happy customer. Logan and Matt were knowledgeable and didn’t mind answering my questions. The fast response to replace the water line coming from the meter to my home was deeply appreciated. This will be the first company I will call if the need should arise in the future. Completely satisfied customer……….🌻Dianna Taylor

He Kept Me Informed Throughout
Jesse was assigned a job at my house through a warranty. He kept me informed all throughout the process. He explained what he found and how he was going to fix it. My yard was a mess when he was finished - no fault of his. He cleaned it up, including the dirt on my driveway and sidewalk. He was very kind, and I hope if I ever have to use this company again, Jesse is my technician!
Melissa Jones
Fixed My Leak in a Timely, Professional Manner
I had a water leak in our main line. We have over 1500 feet of line from our meter to our home and it is in the Palisades. The Palisades is nothing but solid limestone. Dig 6 inches and it's rock for the next 4 ft or more. Having a leak in an environment like this is an absolute nightmare and most plumbers will not even consider the job. Jesse from Clog Busterz came out, took a look, and made a game plan. Due to weather (ice storm) and other obstacles, he was able to fix my leak in a timely and professional manner. The girls in the office were amazing with communication and follow-up. I appreciated their professionalism and willingness to work in less than ideal conditions. I will not hesitate to call them again if I need a plumber.
Crystal Parson
He Is an Excellent Worker
