This company was amazing to use. I entered in a message on Yelp about needing a leaking pipe fixed, at a very early hour in the morning and the owner got back to me quickly and was the first to respond. He answered my question and gave me a quote about what it would cost to fix it. There was an open spot for the next business day as well. The plumber that came out, Nick, he was thorough and was able to complete the job in a reasonable amount of time as well as give me advice about things i should look at with other plumbing. He was very helpful and polite. I definitely recommend this company.

I've had Faust do several things for me from simple sump pump replacement to digging up the floor to replace a sewer line. Trustworthy, excellent service, on-time, fair price, done right. Was great that I could exchange emails with them beforehand to explain what I needed and get honest recommendations. I will use them for all my future plumbing work

They diagnosed the problem asap even before coming to our house. The response time was great and they fit us in the schedule for next day turn around. The service was quick and we were back up and running asap.

Professional and polite. Came on time and did the work and even unclogged my sink in basement. Didn't take too long. I would definitely recommend them and also use their services again if needed.

Hired them to snake the drain for my parents - they were efficient, effective, and transparent with pricing. The payment process was a little confusing because we were told that we could pay the technician in cash but when we tried to do so he told us to handle that directly with the office. We got a link in a few days to pay through a portal though so it was sorted without much issue.
