Calhoun Plumbing

Calhoun is awesome. I had a root ball in my outgoing sewer line that was sporadically backing water up into my basement. They scheduled me for the very next day. Eric and Will came out and had the water flowing in less than an hour, with plenty of advice on how to take care of other issues I’m having in my 100 year old home. They’re my go-to from now on.

Several years ago these guys did a wonderful job replacing my water heater. Couple years later, they did well in fixing a kitchen drain leak. In July 2025, I called and scheduled to have a toilet and exterior spigot replaced. Then they no showed and no attempt to follow up with me. When I called to reschedule they talked me up apologized and said the truck broke down. After a 2nd attempt to schedule, still no show, no call. Not sure why, but was very disappointed that my go to Plumber has lost my business. I guess they don't need the work or are too dishonest to inform callers they don't perform certain jobs. Either way, it was a waste of time & effort and so sad to see a local family business being run by incompetent liars.

I woke up this morning only to find I had no hot water. When I went to check the water heater, I saw water coming out of the top and into the pan beneath - the tank had ruptured. I immediately called Calhoun Plumbing and asked for a new water heater to be installed. They were able to get me on their schedule during the afternoon hours. The technicians showed up early and got straight to work. They were careful bringing the tools and new tank into the basement area. They drained the old tank, disconnected it, transferred over the piping connections, then tested to make sure the new water heater was running properly. This time I got an expansion tank, which I should have had with the previous heater. Within half a day, I had a brand new, highly functional water heater thanks to the Calhoun

Last year Calhoun plumbing was paid by the seller of a home that I purchased to repair damage from a copper thief that included inside and damage outside where the thief tried to shutoff the water main. It was a nightmare trying to get them to finish the job that the seller already paid them in full to do. Excuse after excuse as days turned into weeks and then into months. I Just called them to get a quote for another job and Calhoun Plumbing wanted $8600 to do the same job that everyone else would do for about $5200. No way I will ever use this company again.

We had a break in our water line 4 years ago and Calhoun fixed it. We recently had another break and called Calhoun. They told us that the city only lets you fix a water line once and we needed to replace our whole water line. They gave us a quote of $7600. The city came out a few days later and said there are no rules about how many times you can fix a water line and we can fix it as many times as we want without replacing it. A water line fix is significantly cheaper than replacing the whole line. Calhoun is not the trustworthy company I thought they were.
