Schwartz Plumbing Company

I am a retired and a Wake County resident of 35 years. I woke up one morning to having a problem with a leak in my crawlspace. I called Schwartz Plumbing at 7:30 AM and they had someone responding within a couple of hours of me reporting my problem. The technician was courteous, professional, and explained the problem I was having in detail. He also told me what to expect for repair costs. After he was done, he was sure to ask me if I needed anything else before he left. I would definitely recommend Schwartz Plumbing to my friends and family.

I always use Schwartz Plumbing. They arrive when they say they're going to. They do the work. They usually have whatever parts are needed in the van. The people who answer the phone are helpful and friendly. I've never had a problem with them. They aren't cheap but I think their service is worth what they charge.

I'm delighted with Schwartz Plumbing and have been for decades. My landlady used them, I bought a home and used them. Now they are my go-to for my investment property's plumbing needs. Great job, fair price! Second review 3/1/18 Highest praise for Schwartz Plumbing who work very quickly to replace aging sewer and water lines at our investment property. Thomas went above and beyond to deliver superior service. When he noted further issues on the city side of the lines, he coordinated with the city to arrange service so that all will be in tip top shape. Bravo for the good service Schwartz Plumbing! BTW, there are a few businesses with this same name. The folks in Raleigh, NC are the real deal, so all these reviews may not reflect the Raleigh, NC business.

Had a bit of challenging issue with broken flow regulator in the shower. They came quickly, were courteous and very creative in solving the problem which ended up saving me quite a bit of money. Would like to particularly commend Eddie, the technician who came out.

I thought it was starting off well when I received a call from the plumber saying he could come an hour early. (Yay, I thought) Then he started complaining about DTR parking. He said he hates jobs DTR. When I met him outside, he told me that he parked in a "loading zone at the corner". I talked with him about the parking garage next door and the meters out front. He said "hopefully it won't be towed". On the way up to the condo, I told him that strange enough the toilet wasn't running today. (I had turned to water to it off and when I turned it back on to prepare for their visit- it didn't keep running. It sounded fine. (odd ??- how did that happen? ) He was also looking at the kitchen sink which had seemed to have some "grease like" stuff under the sink. When he was going back out for supplies, I handed him a couple of bucks for parking. He asked if the meters will take the cash. I told him no, but the parking garage right next door does. He told me that his truck is 9ft tall and can't fit in the garage. I told him that the meters take credit cards. He wasn't going to bother moving the truck. I told him that I'd get my Cc and pay for it because I didn't want him to risk having the truck towed. He asked me if I was going down with him. I told him that I'd be down by the time he got the truck. I went back down and paid for the parking. He told me that the toilet still needed the inside piece rebuilt even though it wasn't running. He said, "see how high the water level in the tank is". I asked if there was a screw or something that could adjust the floater (Idk-that is what I call it) piece. He said "um...uh, yes but it still needs to be replaced." I told him to just go ahead and do it. He was ready to leave about 15 minutes later, I was shocked when he told me it was $200 to place the toilet piece. I literally was so shocked that I started shaking.I told him that if he had told me that I would not be shaking from the shock of it and I certainly would have just had the whole toilet replaced because I always hated it. (I always wanted to replace it but wasn't going to to waste money replacing a working toilet.) I'd rather have spent $500 on a new toilet and had a pretty new one! I called to let them know that I was shocked! The "story" about service call charges and per job changed with the plumber and during the call. (Service calls are now 200/ rebuild is always $195, etc). Either way, $200 to rebuild is crazy! I agree with other reviews that say get them to email you regarding prices before you set an appointment!! Oh, and when I called after to let them know I was shocked, they even stated that "plumbers need to be paid for their work ". Seriously insulting!!! I not only want to pay for work that i have done- I saved them them cost and trouble of a tow! (Yes, DTR will tow if you park illegally!) (I can't comment on their actual work because they were just here today.) Shocked and sad to need to find a new plumber. :(
