After dealing with a plumbing issue all day we finally decided to call Stemmle Plumbing. I was referred to them with rave reviews from a friend. Josh B was dispatched to our home and I'm so thankful he was able to fix our plumbing issue and toilet. He was at our home within a hour of calling. I wish I could give more stars! Thank you! Service: Drain cleaning

They are great, after James River dropped the ball and wouldn't even communicate with me about what was happening, one call to Stemmle I had someone coming to help fix my Water Heater within a few hours. I think it's pathetic that we need to praise companies for doing their jobs in this day and age BUT I do want to thank Stemmle for such a quick response and the professional nature that their crews demonstrated on site. I'll be sure to keep coming back that level of above and beyond is why I'm leaving five stars.

Technicians Austin Cloninger and Aaron Hutchinson has been out to Sussex State Prison multiple times to assist with the unstopping of drains at both prisons and has done an excellent job at solving the issues that we face. These guys perform at a high level and always courteous and professional and get the job done. We appreciate them coming here and recommend their services. Sincerely, Glen Tyler, Plumber

Jorge came out to pump my system today and did a fantastic job. He was thorough and professional. He detected an issue with my pump and worked with his team to try and resolve it, and helped make sure I was scheduled for a pump technician to come out when the problems persisted. It was a pleasure having him come out and assist me. Service: Sewer cleaning

My appointment was scheduled for 10-2. After waiting for four hours and fifteen minutes for this company to arrive as promised, I called the main line. I was told they were hung up on another job and MIGHT be at my home within two hours! Apparently giving me a call to let me know was too much to ask. I know times are hard right now as far as having enough help etc. but this was a ridiculous waste of my time.
