I've used Poole's Plumbing twice recently, once to fix our water heater that had stopped working and another time to install trim in our shower. Each time they have been responsive, professional, courteous, and timely. I will use them again for any other plumbing needs we have and will recommend them to others.

Highly recd. They showed up on time, were polite , clean and fixed the problem ASAP for a fair quoted price. Toilet was fixed in a jiffy.Tried other plumbers in past and we never had a good experience. Pooles was great. Will be repeat customer.

Outstanding work and customer service!! From the moment I called to schedule the young lady that answered was so sweet and helpful. I was put on the schedule for next day and before the service guys came out they called to let me know they were on their way.Kai and Andrew arrived at our home and were very professional, respectful and kind. They treated our home with respect and made sure they cleaned up after themselves. As they came into the bathroom looked at the issue with the drip and quickly explained and reassured me how it would get fixed. They did the work really well and quickly. Here is a picture of the tubbing they had to replace.I recommend this company to anyone in need of outstanding service and work done well.

Dylan came out to replace a disposal. Rather than just completing the job, he improved the catch in the piping and made all more efficient...no extra charge. I own a small business and that type of care (about your craft) is becoming harder to find. Well done, Poole's....we will go to you first for plumbing needs

I had an excellent experience with Mr. Dylan Quick from Poole’s plumbing. He was sent through Toll brothers as part of a warranty request to fix the hose bib outside our home. His warm, friendly attitude made the whole process smooth and stress-free. He fixed the hose bib quickly and efficiently, showing great expertise. What impressed me the most was his professionalism combined with a personal touch. I highly recommend him for anyone in need of fast, reliable plumbing services!

We had an "emergency" where our new fridge was delivered and delivery team said our water line was bad and they couldn't hook it up. We were without water and needed a plumber ASAP to fix the line - and Poole's was at our house within the hour! They were professional, super kind, and did great work. We will now be using Poole's for all of our plumbing needs and are so impressed with their team!

As the owner of Kenny's Tree Removal, I am pleased to share our positive experience with Poole's Plumbing. Following an unexpected incident involving a customer's water meter, we reached out to Poole's Plumbing for assistance. They responded promptly and provided same-day service. We were very satisfied with their efficient work and found their pricing to be fair, especially considering the last-minute nature of the request. We highly recommend Poole's Plumbing for their professionalism and reliable service

Dylan and his counterpart (wish I caught his name!) were awesome. We called them due to some toys being stuck in our toilet (toddlers handiwork) which they were able to quickly retrieve. I then mentioned to them a leaky exterior faucet and they were able to fix the issue within the same visit. Reasonable cost and exceptional service.

Poole’s did a great job for us, from the customer service, new water heater installation to any follow up and annual services. All good.

Janie Sutton

We called on Thursday due to a leaky toilet. She told us someone would be there Friday afternoon! Sure enough, they called at 12:30 and said they were on their way. They completed the job quickly, did a great job, were very polite and the price was reasonable. A week later, still no leaks! Great job!

Just had a great experience with Poole’s Plumbing…our water heater was not heating the water enough and we called them on Saturday, they came on Sunday morning and fixed the issues in minutes at no charge. We appreciate the kindness and expertise!

Jen Mahlum

I highly recommend Poole’s Plumbing! They have replaced my water heater, fixed a broken pipe, fixed broken valves under my sink and replaced pipes so my outdoor faucet worked. Each and every time they were outstanding and most importantly very fairly priced! For all of the experiences, it was the first time repairs came in far under what I expected. This last visit, Henry and John were particularly great, Henry inspected all of our toilets to make sure there wasn’t any water leak, because when they looked at the water meter it was moving slightly when the water had been turned off. He went above and beyond. The office staff is great also, very courteous and responsive and make sure to get you what you need.

Process of installation of a water heater went smoothly from the estimate, to scheduling a date and time to the installation.

Lisa Strong

Poole's Plumbing recently replaced our faucet in our bathroom. They navigated receiving the wrong handles and were able to quickly get the correct handles for our faucet. Joey and Dylan and Nick were amazing and did the job perfectly. Jessica and Tim were invaluable in scheduling this service and getting the correct handles. As a long time customer of Poole's Plumbing, I can honestly say I do not want to go anywhere else. Earl has come several times over the years for different needs and always exceeds our expectations. They have always performed amazing work and this was no different. Thank you so much to Poole's Plumbing and all their great employees!

Lynn S

Pooles Plumbing I recommend highly. Not only are they fair in their prices they provide on time high quality work. After going through a traumatic time the last 14 months after large tree destroyed my home. I had just moved back home and within a month started with backups from sewer line into home. After 2 very large quotes one over $10,000, 2nd over 6000.00, they did for almost half the $6,000. Excellent customer service, they were so honest, gave me different choices. On a woman who is on a very fixed income, they were a lifesaver for me.

Had a shower issue on the Sunday before Memorial Day. Called Poole's on Tuesday, got an appointment for the next day. Ethan and Chris arrived early, got the work done quickly and exactly on the quoted price. New faucet looks and works great. Quick service, excellent work, reasonable price. We highly recommend Poole's and won't hesitate to call them again.

I can’t say enough good things about Poole’s plumbing!! I have needed them twice now and their service techs and customer service team are top notch!! Service tech Joey and his helper came out the first time to fix a leak in my bathroom and they were extremely thorough and had it fixed in no time. The most recent tech, Ethan, was just as thorough! I had 2 leaking hosebibs and even without a helper, he had them both replaced fast and was extremely professional. He even crawled back under the house to turn the water back on to my refrigerator after I told him I wasn’t sure where it was. Both techs went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied with the work before they left! And neither of them tried to sell me a bunch of junk I didn’t need like some other companies do. I HIGHLY recommend Poole’s plumbing!!!

Bill Forster

New Customer: Excellent experience, needed service on my tankless water heater. Technician was great, had super knowledge, and showed me the issues, and was very helpful. will recommend them, and use them again.

BEEZO

First time I personally use this company, and I will say they are very professional. The technicians are respectful and attentive. They were very clear with what needed to be done and what it would cost. Poole's should be very proud with their level of service.

Judy Young

Mark Frye

Had Pooles Plumbing come out to diagnose and fix an intermittent issue with my tankless hot water heater. Everything worked like clockwork! The crew who came out was very knowledgable, professional, quickly diagnosing the likely problem and suggesting a good cleaning first before any more costly repairs. It has been working perfectly so far since their visit. I would definitely use them again!

Margaret Barham

1713022647

I had a wonderful experience with Poole's Plumbing. Found a water leak in the line between the meter and my house. They came out promptly and told me everything that needed to happen (cable, gas, sewer lines marked, inspections, etc.). They took care of everything! Everyone with whom I dealt was friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. And so very neat! I had to have a long trench to lay new pipe, and just a few days later, neighbors are commenting on how you can barely tell I had the work done! They left my yard looking as good or better than when they left! And they alerted me to a potential electrical grounding issue with my home. No one wants the expense of a water main leak, but I feel very good that I had the best people on the job!!

Jeff Daughenbaugh

We have been dealing with the headaches of Polybutylene pipes for years, (leaks, burst pipes and lost sleep) but finally bit the bullet on getting the house re-plumbed. We had several quotes and chose Poole's, and we are very happy we did. We were on their schedule within 10 days of selecting them to do the job. Earl and John showed up on time (called before arrival) and explained how they would do the work. Going in we knew they would have to cut away some dry wall in the walls and ceiling to get to the upstairs bathroom plumbing, but I was surprised how small the holes were, they were like surgeons. They used the existing runs, removing the old pipes and putting the new in the same holes where possible.No one wants to spend that much money to fix something that isn't broke at the moment, but I can honestly say this was one of the best decisions we made at our home. We will sleep better knowing the poly is gone, and we made the right decision having Poole's do the work.

From the first call placed to Wendy at Pooles Plumbing to the actual service performed, the entire team delivered 100%. Cory arrived with all parts needed and did a fantastic job repairing the leak on our well water system and installing an isolation valve as asked. I'd definitely recommend Poole's Plumbing based on my experience with them and will be contacting them again when I have more work in the future. Thank you!

Cory did a great job replacing our direct vent tank water heater. There were some space challenges they worked through and couldn't thank them enough for the work they did with minimal disruption to my day. From my initial contact with Wendy, working with Makayla on the quote through completion of the project with Cory, everyone was kind, answered all my questions and provided a great experience overall. I'd definitely recommend Poole's based on my experience with them and will be contacting them again when I have more work in the future. Thank you!

Install sump pump.I also had Poole's replace my water heater yesterday (Feb 2023) and am very happy with their service. Their price was very competitive, and they accommodated my request for prompt service as I had been without hot water for a few days. The installation seems to have been completed in a professional manner.

First time use of Poole's Plumbing. I live in the Atlanta, GA area. My rental property in Raleigh is occupied with family members. Poole's technician, Kai, was thorough, knowledgeable, and professional. Repairs were within the scope of the work and done well. No surprises. I highly recommend this company.

I have used Poole's plumbing for installation of our tankless water heater, and later for its maintenance and repair. The water heater later failed on a Saturday morning over a holiday weekend. The on-call technician quickly responded and had the system up and running by the afternoon.Most recently, Poole Plumbing installed a toilet and replaced a broken faucet in my laundry room. Again, they did a great job.I find them to be very responsive and professional with reasonable pricing for the services. They are my plumber of choice!

I had a great experience with Poole's plumbing when they came to replace the gas pipe connecting my house to the meter. They were on time, had fair pricing, and were extremely professional. Bill, Henry, Cody, and Dylan worked together from giving me a free estimate, installing the pipe, and then meeting the city inspector all in a timely fashion. Makayla and Jessica were extremely helpful on the phone with scheduling and questions about billing and my quote. I cannot recommend this company enough!!
