Olin Plumbing

My issue happened on a Sunday. Olin Plumbing was the only responsive plumber. The sent John out initially and he was professional and was able to isolate the trouble. The job was a major issue and they returned to do the expansive repair. Bob and John returned to finish the repair. They fixed the issue and actually came in under the expected costs. I appreciate the professional attention we received and the fact that everyone I dealt with was pleasant and proficient in their job. Olin will be out new plumber!

I called Olin and Judy got them out next day to hook up my new kitchen faucet and plumb my new sinks and install the garbage disposal and hook up dish washer. They were on time, professional, courteous and skilled. I am scheduling more work with them today! Shout out to John and Bob for doing a great job and getting our kitchen up and running again!

I've used Olin Plumbing several times over the past few years for repairs and also water heater, garbage disposal, and faucet replacements. Without fail, the office representative and plumbers have been responsive, courteous and professional. I've been advised up-front regarding pricing, and have been advised when it would be more cost-efficient to purchase an item myself and have them install it. They respond quickly and arrive on time. David, Alex, and Ernesto have all been great. I highly recommend Olin Plumbing.

I called Olin late Friday afternoon and they did everything to get someone out to my house that same day. The problem was a clogged toilet in my guest bathroom so not an emergency. Judy told me she could get me scheduled first thing on Monday between 8a - 9a. I got a phone call a little past 8a letting me know someone would be at my house within 20-30 minutes.

I also got a text letting me know so the communication was great and appreciated. Around 8:30a my doorbell rang and it was Richard and Anthony from Olin. I explained the situation and they went right to work. It was a difficult job but they were very persistent and fixed the problem. Both Richard and Anthony were extremely polite and professional, it was a messy job and they did a wonderful job of cleaning up afterwards.

I also really appreciated them explaining everything that they were doing and why it was necessary. I would definitely recommend: and would use them again. I certainly recommend them for anyone with a plumbing need and if you're lucky enough to get Richard and Anthony to show up you are in good hands!

We had no hot water over the weekend so I called Olin on Monday morning. Richard and Anthony came right out and they were so nice and professional. They could have said I needed a new water heater, but they did some troubleshooting and repaired the problem. I'm very happy they bought us some more time with the one we have. Thanks!

John and Bob showed up promptly with terrific attitudes to fix our leaking toilet. We also had some other work for them to do which was outdoors replacing two hose Spicket's that they probably cut re-welded soldered and repaired. They also explain to us that the spotting or leaking that we had noticed was part of the fail safe of the actual hose so consumer education is always important. Priced relatively fairly this company has been in business since 1983 so they've been around a lot of plumbing situation's they will be on our list for the future good service fair pricing shows a promptly good employee attitude.

I called Olin early evening on Saturday and they were able to get me a plumber within a hour. Their after hour min charge was very fair in my opinion. Richard was the plumber that they sent out. He was friendly and was able to unclog my main line fairly quickly. I don't know anything about plumbing so I picked Richard brain and he gave me some good advices on how to avoid a clog things to check. I really appreciate the great service and things I learned from Richard.

This was the second time we have used Olin Plumbing, and once again they did not disappoint. We were taken care of by John, who had just recently earned his way to his own truck - and his service was exceptional. Timely, polite, and very professional, John got us back where we needed to be in very little time and explained each step of the way. He is an outstanding representative of Olin and his knowledge and skill were impressive - and while I hope not not run into future plumbing issues, I do know we are in absolutely great hands with Olin as our first call.

Richard was fantastic. He came out--on time--to check a leak and was very nice. We especially liked his kind consideration and witty humor. His knowledge of the situation was very detailed and appreciated. Straight away he pinpointed the possible issue, but gave us the option to test it ourselves, instead of going straight to an expensive leak checking specialist. Thank you Richard!

Called in the morning and Maureen had a plumber to our condo within an hour. Richard was very responsive, diagnosed our problem and helped us determine our plan of action. Olin is our go to plumber

Richard was a professional, he went beyond what we ask for, he assure me that the house would be running that same day, it would have been a mess trying to find living quarters our clients. Overall, he was great and also Joe's knowledge and freindship help out as well. Thank you, you guys are the best! Service: Outdoor system repair

I've used Olin Plumbing for a couple years now on several different jobs most often with Richard and Steven. What I like about Olin Plumbing is that they are knowledgeable and understand how to do repairs correctly. They are straight forward both in how they explain and actually perform the work. Costs are transparent up front and compared to similarly skilled competitors generally more reasonable. I would highly recommend Olin if your looking.

Richard, the service tech was awesome. Extremely polite and very professional. He explained his plan of attack and the cost prior to starting the work and didn't charge a penny more upon completion. I would highly recommend to anyone in the future. Oh, I'm a retired contractor so I know how hard it is to find good reputable people that do quality work. Thanks again Richard and Olin Plumbing.

These guys were great. Had a plumbing emergency on Sunday afternoon. Broke a water main pipe & had no water in my house. Called five other plumbing companies, nobody could come out. Once I called Olin they had somebody here within an hour and it was fixed an hour and a half later. Richard the plumber that fixed it was fantastic! I would highly recommend Richard and Owen plumbing to anyone.

Richard and Steven are absolutely amazing! They were very quick to respond to my request to replace the toilet flange and install a new toilet. Not only was their price better than everyone else's, but they also showed up on time, were very respectful, and completed the job very quickly! They know what they are doing and I will definitely be using them again in the future.

We are so thankful for Olin Plumbing! We had a plumbing emergency this evening and they were able to send someone out to help us within an hour. The incredibly nice woman who answered my frantic phone call(I'm so sorry I can't remember your name) thank you! And a huge thank you to Alex for taking care of our issue for us and being so kind. I will be recommending Olin to everyone I know!

The gas water heater that Olin Plumbing installed for us in January stopped working after 11 months. Olin Plumbing came out within a few hours of us calling them and re-lit the pilot light. The pilot light then went out again a few hours later. Since we knew what the issue was, we lit the pilot light a few more times, only to have it go out within ten minutes each time. Called Olin again in the morning and they sent a plumber (Richard) out immediately. Richard let us know they had researched the heater and that the burner was defective. Olin Plumbing replaced it for us at no charge as it was still under the 1-year warranty. We appreciated the quick response and the friendly service.

Olin Plumbing did a great job responding to my request to fix a pipe clog that created a huge problem in my ability to clean dishes or wash clothes. On a Sunday none the less. They scheduled the appointment immediately and followed through with the scheduled time, which was within an hour of my call. Richard showed up, assessed the situation, went to work and fixed the problem in less than hour. Very personable guy with a lot of knowledge about plumbing. I would definitely recommend Richard and Olin Plumbing! Awesome experience!

The gents for Olin came out to my place to fix my awful attempt at plumbing my new kitchen sink. Richard and Steven from Olin were prompt and communicated with us prior to coming, were very open about the pricing and potential work, and even let me make sure my drains lines were clear before charging me to snake them. Great guys, they did a fantastic job and taught me a few things as well. I will definitely call them again after the next episode of "IT Guy Tries Plumbing"

We called Olin Plumbing on a Saturday because we had a leak in our water softener and could not figure out how to fix it ourselves. The Olin team was super responsive and Ruben was out there within the exact window they said he would be. He was very professional and talked us through how he was going to fix it. He stuck around for a little bit after, too, to make sure the pressure in our water softener was working well and there were no other leaks. We would definitely recommend Olin Plumbing and use their services again!

DO NOT use this company unless you don't care about overpaying for a routine job. I had then come out to replace 2 shut off valves under the sink and also a simple drain line to the toilet. The valves cost $12 apiece and the line was $10 at Home Depot. Total time on the job was 20-25 minutes. They proceeded to charge me $245 for the first valve replacement then a "discounted" price of $125 for the second.

I explained to the manager, Jennifer, that it was the same job and both valves were exactly the same. Was informed they were 2 different jobs and also that I was getting a "deal" with the discounted price for the second job. I then asked her to contact the owner, quite possibly her dad, to discuss further but the verdict was all prices are final and nonnegotiable. Paid almost $400 for lest than a half hours worth of work and $34 in parts.

I should have known I was geting ripped off when they charged me $50 for the $10 line. I doubt I will ever use Olin again. Family base, locally owned companies don't take advantage of their local support.

My experience today with Olin Plumbing was excellent. I called on Monday night and the plumber was out the next morning to fix my clogged commode. David was courteous, well informed about how to get the problem solved and I was happy with his work. He even stayed long enough to make sure the obstruction was not just compromised, but made sure it was completely free of the main line as well.

We just had a flooding emergency in the office due to an old water heater. Your man, Mark, showed up and took care of business. When it it was too clogged to drain, he dragged it out and up steps like an animal! Saved the day!

Very friendly and responsive plumbers who arrived at my home on time but produced terrible quality work that I ultimately ended up redoing myself. I asked for them to replace my exposed hot/cold water faucets as well as washer drain pipe and replace it with a recessed washer outlet box. The install should have been straight forward. I have 1/2" copper pipes that run parallel.

The installation could have been done so many different ways but what they chose to do was shove my 1/2" pipes into what I'm guessing is a 3/4-1" faucet inlet and then did a terrible job at soldering them to keep them in place. They also unnecessarily cut and soldered my pipes in like 4 different places while soldering on repair sleeves for no good reason.

On top of that the they burned the outlet box from the soldering work and the hot water valve was not level with the cold. They told me this happens all the time. The total cost of the work was supposed to be $1250. They gave me the option to take $250 off for the burned box or have them replace it and pay the full $1250. I took the discount went to the store and fixed it myself.

I couldn't risk them doing that ridiculous soldering stuff anymore. Please see pictures. Overall I wish that I would have just had them install the drain pipe as that is all I really needed them to do. I don't feel as though I should have paid anything for the install of that box. It was literally leaking by the time they left and I had to call them back to fix it immediately after. I ended up throwing away $550 worth of their work and redoing it with higher quality materials for less than $100 and 20 minutes of my time.

First I prefer family owned work over corporate business's when it comes to my home. I was searching for a good Water Heater deal and wanted to continue with a 50G Tank version (preferable Rheem). Olin Plumbing was great over the phone and gave me a "ball park estimate" after answering some simple questions. Their Technician Ramsey called me towards the end of my 4 hour window and showed up shortly after.

He was able to confirm the quote, order the water heater and install all in the same day. I will advise that this is normally a two day process. One for the estimate, if you have anything other than an accessible first floor water heater, and the second for installation. Plan accordingly based on what they tell you. Olin will give you a 4 hr window for their technician to visit and while he was not there exactly during the window they did communicate well with me so I was not tied to the house. Ramsey did a great job and all my questions were answered effectively, and he did a great job with the install.

He drained and removed my water heater, and installed the new one in under 2 hours. Very high quality work and would definitely recommend in the future. Plumbers are in high demand and there are not many high experience ones left in the industry so make sure you are working with the best. www.plumberstampa.com (813)443-5820 info@olinplumbinginc.com

Doug w/Olin Plumbing came by today to help with a Commercial Urinal Problem. He told me the problem, and suggested that if I went to get the necessary part, I could do the fix myself. I really appreciated his honesty and candor.

I heard of Olin Plumbing from Mike Calta. Doug came out and fixed a clogged kitchen sink today. I called late last night and they came out first thing in the morning. Friendly and fast service. Would definitely recommend!

DO NOT call Olin plumbing if you are having plumbing issues, they are by far the worst. Fist off, as someone mentioned below, after they come out and break everything, they only guarantee their work Monday - Friday, so when they come out on Friday and it breaks the next day, we'll you are screwed. We called Olin Plumbing for a running toilet. no big deal, right?

Well we had someone come out and he said we needed a new part and charged us almost $300. The next day the toilet completely stopped working. We never had a problem with the toilet not working prior, it was just running. Now, it stopped working completely. In addition, we had them come back out and once again, it stopped working after a day. This time when they came out they said I needed a completely new toilet and it would be $550 dollars.

He said, "this toilet is shot." If the toilet was shot, why didn't the guy prior recommend replacing the toilet? Olin plumbing tried to say that it's the first step in fixing a problem, so Olin, you are willing to spend $300 to fix someone that the last guy said was 50/50 to work on a toilet I could be completely new for $400? RIP OFF The last guy that came out to fix the toilet attempted to charge me.

When I told him no way, he hung up on me and threw our employees phone on me he desk and left the salon. Oh yeah, that was after he threatened to rip everything out. I now have water gushing out from the bottom of my toilet when it flushes and it's completely unusable. THANKS OLIN, you managed to take a running toilet and make it unusable.

RUN AWAY! Extremely disappointed in their service. To the point, do not trust their "guarantee". If their work fails, as it did in our case, they will NOT honor their service guarantee unless it is Monday through Friday, 8-5. If your plumbing emergency happens when MOST plumbing emergencies happen- you know, like when you're actually home in the morning, evening, or weekend using the plumbing- you get to pay full price for them to come fix their mistake. Not exactly helpful when water is pouring from under your toilet, destroying your hardwood and walls. Thanks for leaving us high and dry, Olin Plumbing!

Did an excellent and thorough job replacing rusted pipes in the kitchen wall & repaired it so well, it's like new. Joe and Mr. Olin were very nice and helpful. Reasonable price, too.

Saw David R's review of Olin Plumbing and we were faced with the same issue - a backflow preventer test which needed to be completed within 14 days. I did check several other plumbers that offer the same service and was quoted prices ranging from $49 to $180 just for the test! I saw the reviews of Olin on Yelp as well as AngiesList and they charged only $25, What was also commendable was that they were responsive and very professional.

They came out the very next day and performed the test and after I made the payment, they informed the city that we had "passed" the test! Given this experience, I have no hesitation in recommending Olin. Their service on this particular aspect was exceptional and I assume that this extends to other services.

I'll try to make this a brief as possible. I am out of nearly $1,000. and they deny that they had anything to do with an aftermath of leaks which followed a declogging event in the bathroom. The guy tore a chunk of wall behind the vanity sink and left a really nasty mess for me to clean. They alleged they fired him. Had another guy come out to inspect what the former employee had done.etc had him look at new leak in garage where washer is (i had tried to fix it myself & apparently did a good job because it stopped leaking just as he went to check it out).

When he left, I found that I could not find my plumbing tape spool which i left on the washer.gave him the benefit of the doubt still cannot find it. Anyway, more issues developed and they sent yet another guy out. I found more leaks in the bathroom which never had occurred before. Now leaking behind that same wall. Had the spout replaced & was lead to believe this would resolve the leaking issue and was charged $195.

It continued to leak as this plumber was leaving & immediately told him. His reply was border line nasty & said he stopped the leak from behind wall & not there to repair any add'l leaks. He had already left when I discovered that my new spout I purchased from Lowes was missing. They sent another plumber, Mike, who was the nicest of them all.

He said All leaks were unrelated & that I needed a repair where the single handle on tub is for $285. Brought me a spout and I quickly pointed out it was not the one the other guy took without my permission. He had placed an inferior one instead in my tub. Long story short. They mailed me a check for it which was not signed so I had to drive all the way to Ybor City in a very nasty neighborhood (I am a petite woman) and have them sign it. Went and cashed it and hope it is good.

The teller could not tell me for certain as they (olin) use a different bank. Never will I use these people again! What good is a warranty when you get this kind of service. Called a competitor who was prompt, clean and efficient. Spent another $300. to fix it. SHAME ON ALL OF YOU FOR TAKING ADVANTAGE OF 2 OLD WOMEN!

Olin plumbing is without a doubt the best there is. I have had the most professional and courteous plumbers attend to my problems -- always on time and always fixed the first time. Thank you Olin Plumbing!

Terrible experience. I was given a quote to install a whole house water filter system, water softener, and under the counter RO system. I was rescheduled for service twice. When the plumber came to my house he was disrespectful. Telling me that I brought cheap equipment and he could have got me a better deal. He was upset because he had someone else's truck. Told me that the softener tank was defective.

We called the company that made it and they told him what he needed to do. Said he needed to keep checking his phone because he's planning a honeymoon. It was easy to see he didn't want to be there or do the job. After complaining about the work he had to do, he went back to his truck and gave me a revised quote that was 3 times more than the original. I politely told him to leave. I called Olin and the first thing they asked me was if I thought the revised quote was fair. Unreal.

I recently received a wonderful letter from the City of Tampa. It was a harshly worded letter advising me that I had 14 days to have a "backflow test" performed and the results sent to them, or they'd begin fining me. I received the letter Saturday preceding Thanksgiving. Really?! I've got 14 days to test something I've never heard of, with the clock running as of Thanksgiving week, and I'll get fined if I don't comply. Anyway, a backflow device is something inserted into the water line on the customer (resident) side of a water meter to prevent water from flowing back into the system after it has gone through the meter.

In my case, my lawn hose spigots and irrigation system are all isolated from the rest of the home via a backflow prevention valve. Unbeknownst to me, the City of Tampa requires you to have your backflow devices tested once per year. Of course no one does that, since no one I know had ever received this order either. In any case, ten years after buying my home, I received the letter to show proof of compliance with the annual testing.

The letter included a list of 40 or so companies who can perform the test. Olin Plumbing was on the list, I visited their website, and unlike most plumbing companies, I could even order the testing via their site, for a flat rate of $25 if no repairs are needed. Their site advises that they donate any profits above the cost of the test to All Childrens Hospital in St Pete.

I placed my order on a Sunday evening. Monday morning I had an email reply asking for me to scan and email a copy of the City's demand letter, which I did. They performed the test Wednesday, day before Thanksgiving, submitted the results to the City, and sent me a bill. So, hard to complain about that; easy ordering of the service, surprisingly rapid delivery of the service, they did all the work, I paid my $25 and got the City of Tampa off my back.

Olin Plumbing is honest, reliable, and pressional. I am a repeat customer and they have not disappointed me yet. Thank you Scott!

We had a leaking pipe. All we wanted was a simple repair. The plumber replaced all of the pipes. He removed the flexible pipes. Now if I need to replace the water heater I will have to pay to have to the pipes replaced. I asked Olin if they would replace the water heater for free if it goes bad. He refused. I do not recommend this plumber.

Joe and Derek you guys are truly the best! No one can ever say your not honest! Saved me $2500 today and I'm very thankful. Joe you will always be our plumber. Thanks for fixing our leaky kitchen, sink and clogged bathroom.

Exorbitant price for less than 3 minutes service, literally. Don't make the same mistake I did, call someone else.

Well the charged me twice, said they refunded me, they didn't, she's says it's all good on our end and she'll look into it in the morning. Also that I should call if it's not fixed tomorrow, yeah don't worry I'll keep trying to get my money back don't worry, I won't forget! So we'll see how this plays out, won't use them again

$200 to replace a couple of washers and tighten the bolts. He was here for 38 minutes! Completely ridiculous! I am not going to be using them again. This was highway robbery.

Joe with Olin would be welcome in my home anytime to fix any plumbing problem I have. They are solid and honest and take great pride in their customer service as well as their knowledge. Up front and honest. Hard to find these days.

I, a grandmother from out of town, was babysitting my grandkids for a week while their parents were on overseas trip. A water leak developed in the garage floor and I read the various reviews and called two plumbing companies.

Olin Plumbing overall has been an absolute wonderful company to work with. My house had severe water damage due to a rusted, broken stack pipe draining water into the floors. Olin Plumbing immediately sent Joe to my house to assess the situation.

There was a plumber at my door in less than an hour. They were friendly, efficient, and very conscientious about keeping the house as clean as possible despite having to dig up many, many buckets of dirt.

I had a water main break and called Olin Plumbing. The lady on the phone was awesome and very understanding of this emergency. 10 gallons per minute leaking from the break, we needed a fast but reliable fix.

We had a extremely positive experience with Olin Plumbing! : We were in need of replacing our current water heater. It's not a pleasant start to your day when you have no HOT water. Oh my.a cold shower was definitely not how you want to start your day.

A big thank you To Joe for excellent service. He arrived in record time, was professional and courteous and did not complain that he had to dig through wet dirt in the rain to correct our problem. Most appreciated.

Fantastic service! So happy I found them! We will be using them for all of our plumbing needs.

I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly Bob and his associate fixed my clogged toilet, they were in and out in less than an hour. Very polite and professional. The very best part was that the price was much less than what I expected it to be! Thank you so much.
