Sembower-Mikefell

2nd time I called, these guys are the best in the neighborhood. I dont always give out 5 stars like a reward. But this company is the one you should call. Forget roto rooter and gillece. They always try to upsell you something you dont need. It's not the case for Sembower though. My furnance stop blowing hot air and I guess it was minor. But the tech who came out, Eric was his name did maintenance on my furnance and made sure everything was working properly.

Great guy. Answered the most common questions anyone had. Really good company to call for service. Prices are competitive but the work shows for it. Better than the others. Kudos to sembower.

Not a very happy camper. I called them to take care of a leak at my house that I had noticed. They were prompt, came out a lot earlier than I thought they would. The ended up replacing a wax ring and bolts on an upstairs toilet and then looked at the master bath about a leak in the drain. When I asked them for an estimate they told me about $2700.

I texted a contractor friend and said no way do I do this, NO WAY! The contractor was at my house today 6/28 and replaced the seal and the piece of ceiling that needed to be cutaway to access under the shower stall. $200! Make sure you question them about everything, never felt so uncomfortable dealing with a local business, that I have trusted in the past, no more. You lost a good customer.

I used this company for a real estate closing, to provide the required municipal testing. They were on time, fixed the issues, were very professional, and thorough. Highly recommended. Services: Drain cleaning, Plumbing pipe repair

They cleared the trouble but be prepared for the bill. Because they aren't the least expensive plumbers on the block. They ran a snake through the line.

Pleasure to have great service. Honest and dependable. Very reasonable rates. Also, we will be calling them back for additional work

Had two toilets replaced and was very pleased with the whole experience from start to finish! Professional and lovely to work with.

The crew came over to fix a loose toilet and accidentally cracked a pipe in our upstairs bathroom that caused a serious leak. Sembower-miksell (crew and boss) quickly took responsibility and contacted their insurance to fix the issue. Great service! We appreciate the honest dealings and will use them for other repairs in the future, if needed. We were locked out of the house by the crew one day due to misunderstanding but they always left the house secure. Class act!

Yesterday, we unexpectedly experienced the drainage blockage from hell. It started with a flush, and before long there was activity (yccch!) at every drain. We called Sembower around 11 AM, and Gene arrived within 20 minutes. Our house was built in 1954 - the first in the neighborhood, and at that time had a septic tank. As a result, Gene had to find the very convoluted drainage pipe system pathways, which go into a hillside and completely around the house. Using snakes and cameras, he and three other technicians worked tirelessly, finding the culprit to be roots that had clogged the path to the sewer piping, and in their words, they did not stop "until we had toilets" and drainage again.

By around 5:00 they had completed their work AND CLEANED UP the affected areas throughout the structure. Their skill, professionalism, and great customer attitude are something you can be proud of. The price was reasonable for the effort provided. We are very satisfied, and will recommend Sembower Mikesell to friends in the future. Thank you very much.

We started off with a hot water tank that was under warranty, the parts are covered for another year. Sembower-Mikesell Inc is the manufacture service provider, so we call them. The call starts off with "great you're tank is still under warranty, we can send someone out to service it", then I ask can you tell me what the fees are? "Well there's a service call fee of 40 dollars then there's the hourly fee, then there's a parts fee", "oh I thought the parts were under warranty", I say "well they are but we charge a parts convenience fee"(isn't that why people call you, that's like Pizza Hut charging a convenience fee for pizza delivery). so basically I'm paying for the part and in some cases maybe more than the part (thermocouple at Homedepot is only 12 dollars). Here's where it gets messy.

So the person comes over and installs a new part. Claims that they cleaned out the burner chamber of soot and you're all set. Well I laid on the floor the previous night looking into the chamber to see if I could see anything before calling them and I saw the same soot in the chamber that was there after it was "cleaned". They didn't replace the most common issue with hot water tanks the thermocouple, instead they replaced a more expensive part so they could charge the parts fee and also get the money from the manufacture.

All knowing that I would be calling several days later to ask for help again. Before the person even looked at out hot water tank he walked in and just said to my wife "So. do you want me to give you a quote for a new hot water tank?" He didn't even look at it! So I call to let them know that "A" the tank is still not working. "B" that their person said he cleaned out the burner chamber which he didn't. there was no "Oh no" or anything of the sort.

Only a "We can have someone out there on Monday", great is there additional costs? "We we can waive the service fee, but you'll still have to pay the labor and the parts fee". Wow. Just wow. Then they go on to say, "There were other parts in that kit that we can put on that we didn't", they just decided not to put all the parts on that were in the kit. I hired Sembower just because I didn't have the time and was going to be out of town now I'm doing it myself Homedepot thermocouple here I come.
