While the plumber seemed satisfactory, he could not get a drain clogged from the kitchen and said I had to get it jetted. I called to make the appointment to get it jetted and the secretary/manager was very rude to me. She would not listen to what had to be done and sure enough was going to send a plumber to do EXACTLY the same thing that did not work the first time of which I was charged $175 for a clogged kitchen sink that remains a clogged kitchen sink.

The secretary/manager also claimed I threw a bunch of grease down the drain - which I did not. I previously told the plumber it was black sludge. Thus, not only was she rude and ignored the problem, she tried to shift blame to me. I called another plumbing company that was professional and kind on the phone and scheduled the jetting for the next day.

These guys are great! Fast and reliable. Roger was able to find and fix a couple of plumbing issues for us pretty quickly, and for a fair price. I will always call Cornett, now! Service: Leak investigation and repair

Have used Cornett Plumbing twice now for two separate problems and I can not say enough good things about them! They are prompt, polite and professional. I had Roger and Mark take care of our issues and both were outstanding. Definitely our go-to plumbers! Service: Drain unblocking

I have used this company twice. Once for my old system, they have been around so long they had parts. Yeah for me. Second time my a/c would'nt turn off. They came out and resolved the problem. Today I needed my heating pilot turned on. Gas co's first date available Dec 19th. They squeesed me in today. This is a great company. I don't usually take the time to post. But I am so grateful for their help. NICE, FRIENDLY PEOPLE!

Dale returned my call promptly. Arrive @ the property promptly & this was on a holiday weekend. He was able to fix the heater for our residents. We are so thankful for his hard work. I would recommend this company to everyone in the South Bay.

We had a clog in our toilet that has turned into a problem. Every couple months we would have a back up. We would call random plumbers to fix and everytime we would get a huge run around even before a snake was put in the drain. Roger from Cornett came and fixed our problem in 20 minutes. He did a good amount of forensic investigating about what the problem could be while giving us advice on how to get the problem fixed. Looks to be we have a slope in our sewer drain making it difficult for waste to clear to the city. Roger was so helpful, nice and very well educated in plumbing.

What a breath of fresh air to have a plumber come and get the job done. We highly recommend Cornett plumbing and ask for Roger. The bill was very reasonable and they showed up before their antisipated arrival time. A+ service and highly recommended
