  I used Anthony 6 months ago to excavate the sewer line outside after they had collapsed during the long freeze. Our house is in Lead on the hill so the foundation is comprised mainly of rock. It was a hard job and very costly. He was upset that the job was more than he expected and said he didn't charge enough for what was required. The reason for the stars is: 1. He left the backyard tore up (see pictures) and didn't say anything to us about it (we live out of State). 2. His sons broke the water pump in the basement (also left a mess) when they were helping and they had mentioned it to him but I had to call and ask him to fix it. 3. I paid timely and what he quoted and when I asked if he could go up and fix another problem (which I fully intended to pay for) he pretty much refused to respond or schedule the job It's hard to find good contractors in Lead and I had felt he was going to be a go to for any issues we had for plumbing, we overlooked the mess he left and didn't say anything to him, rather, we did all the cleanup ourselves. Because he felt the job was worth more than he quoted and was paid (over $11K) he seems to be irritated at us and not willing to do any further work. Had I left this review a few months earlier, I would have given him more starts but his attitude when asked to do more work is really disparaging.

  Late on a Friday evening I found "water" was flooding up through my utility room's floor drain and then found water standing in my outdoor clean out, so I tried snaking the pipe to my septic tank. My 25' snake was not long enough to find anything, so I called Anthony. Because it was late, he was not able to come at that time, but promised to be here at 6 AM the next morning. Meanwhile, he gave me good suggestions for what to do to clean up the mess until he got here. In the morning, he arrived at about the promised time and started assessing the situation. He quickly discovered the inlet pipe to the septic tank was tipped upwards instead of down as it entered the tank. Snaking it didn't get get good results, so we agreed the inlet pipe needed to be dug up and fixed. Anthony is not afraid of hard work, so out came the shovels. He let me dig along with him and his helper, which saved time and probably reduced the final bill. We found the inlet pipe had settled several inches a couple of feet back from the tank and had been pinched off. Because we didn't know how bad the rest of the pipe was, and I wanted him to do a camera inspection of it anyway, he scoped out the rest of the pipe. Fortunately there were no other visible issues. In order to get enough pitch for a replacement pipe, we had to hand dig back over 10'. Anthony used a piece of pipe I had on hand to save time and money on the repair. I also had some gravel on hand he was able to use to make a bed for and cover the new pipe. He let me backfill the trench, too. That's not how either of us expected to spend our Saturday morning, but I'm glad to have this issue resolved. I think it will resolve the intermittent stink problem we've been having in our yard, too. I have future plumbing projects to do here on my house, and because Anthony treated me well, did not abandon me when the service call went very far south, and did good work, he's the one I'll be calling.

  Anthony from MJ Plumbing is very professional and thorough in the work that he does. We had a sewer line that was clogged with roots, and Anthony and his crew were as fast and efficient as possible in jackhammering through the cement, replacing the pipe, and pouring new cement over it. (He was the only plumber in the area willing to do the latter of the three.) He is also very polite, honest, and punctual. In fact, he was a few minutes early to the job each time. I highly recommend him!
