Bob's Instant Plumbing says on its website that it has been in business for 47 years and offers 24/7 emergency service. On Google it holds 3.9 stars from 19 ratings. A recent Google customer said the company answered the phone and got someone to the home within 48 hours for three small projects, and that Griffin, the employee sent, fixed all 3 issues. In a 2026 review, a customer said Griffin came on time one morning to look at a roughly 50-year-old main water line valve that would not close completely; that customer said the scheduled work was again on time, at a fair price for the time involved. A 2025 customer said Griffen and Lenny worked on a shower leak, replaced the head and faucets and installed a second shower head. In a 2025 review, a customer said Jeff responded quickly one evening to a main drain blockage and ran a cutter through the drain out to the street; that customer paid a premium for the after-hours call. A 2025 customer said a water-line repair was leaking from both ends later that day, and that about three months on the company had not come back despite multiple calls, after charging over $500 for the repair and emergency costs. A 2026 reviewer said they spent $1,468, the carpet was ruined and the problem was not fixed. In a 2024 review, a customer said the company did not back up its warranty on a hot water tank and charged $400 without fixing the problem.
I recently used this company for some 3 small projects. I was very impressed with the fact they answered there phone and got someone to my home within 48 hours. Griffin the employee that was sent was knowledgeable and polite. He fixed all 3 issues quickly and efficiently and I have had no problem with any of the work he preformed. It all got fixed and works. I was very pleased. I do not do a lot of reviews but I wanted to do this one.
Big thanks to James and everyone for fast service!
They did fine for me. My ~50 year old main water line in valve, right near the floor, would not close completely, and was stiff and at risk of failing if used. Griffin stopped by on time one morning, looked it over and had me then schedule the work. Again, on time, did a nice job, fair price for the time involved. No complaints.
Ruined carpet could not fix problem spent 1468.00 dollars called another after 20 min they knew the problem plus never charged me.
All I can say is use at your own peril!
