“Dave Fisher and Cole saved the day! We had a sewage backup for 5 days with 2 other plumbers unable to solve and resolve the issue. Mike and Cole showed up like super heroes. They were calm, cool, professional and efficient. They actually seemed to care about us and how upset we were. Dave and Cole showed up and resolved the problem. I am beyond grateful for their knowledge, service, and dedication.”

I'm very satisfied with the service I received from Colton and Curtis on Monday. They were professional, arrived promptly, quickly diagnosed the issue, and resolved it efficiently. They took the time to locate the house trap to rod out the tree roots. I would highly recommend Ex-Stink Plumbing and Sewer to my family and friends!

The service was smooth from scheduling to the service. Colton and Curtis actually arrived early (which almost never happens anymore) and provided professional, friendly, fast service and I will highly recommend Ex-Stink to everyone. Thank you!

Dave came out the same day to give a quote for digging up my basement floor to replace old cast iron pipes. They were beyond repair and needed to be replaced soon because of recurring backups. The team was there on time, moved appliances around, got the job done in the scheduled time, and cleaned everything up afterwards. I would definitely recommend them, quality of work and price were well worth it.

I just want to say, this was one of THE smoothest processes I have ever had done. And to have my sump pump taken care of so quickly and efficiently, definitely helped ease my stress! Dave was quick with late night email replies and showed up right away first thing in the morning! The 24/7 availability was right up my alley! Plus payment options and flexibility is a big game changer. Thank you so much Dave, and the whole team! Will recommend to others and will be using any future services needed with you guys for sure!
