People call CPS for emergencies and routine repairs and get fast, same-day or next-day appointments. Technicians like Gary, Joel, and Robert show up on time, diagnose problems quickly, and charge fairly; many reviewers mention the company leaves work areas cleaner than they found them and staff explain the job clearly. CPS handles water line replacements, leak repairs, faucet work, toilet installation, waste line issues, and water heater bids. The business operates as a family-owned shop (staff members Colleen and staff are mentioned by name), and reviewers consistently note transparency about costs and willingness to address extra problems while onsite without overcharging.

Dr Rooter

5.0(29)✓ Google-verified

A locally owned plumber earning consistent five-star reviews for speed, honesty, and professionalism. Technicians like Jordan and Josh arrive on time with tools ready, diagnose problems clearly, and leave the space clean. Reviewers praise transparent pricing and willingness to stay until the job is done, even in tight spaces. Staff communicate before arrival (name and photo sent), explain options, and handle both residential and commercial work. Many note this is a local business with a human on the phone, not a corporate chain. The value extends to equipment maintenance and team training, visible in how they show up prepared and stay professional throughout.
