I called Bob and he gave me tips to help me clear my clog in the kitchen sink first. He said if this didn't work to call him back and he would be happy to come out. This way could save me money up front. I would definitely prefer to try to clear it myself first! Good guy. Never met him but will definitely be calling him back should I need him.

I had an issue with my water softener. I gave Bob a call and he helped me troubleshoot and resolve the issue. He's honest and not trying to oversell. I would highly recommend Bob. Great guy!

The best part about bob is that he is honest, he is not some pressure tactic salesperson. He does great work also. He is easy to communicate with and he comes out diagnoses the problem, gives you a price or heck he might even give you advice on how you can fix it yourself and save money. When you call bob you get bob, not some random person from a company. We were very happy and will use him from now on. Definitely recommend

I called Bob by phone to see how to best address a frozen pipe issue. He was very generous with his time and explained my options although he would not perform any work and get paid for services. If I need a plumber Bob will definitely be my first call.

Bob was at my house less than two hours after I called him. I had what could potentially have been an expensive problem. Bob found a way to get the job done without going the more expensive route. Great work, reasonable rates, friendly guy. I can't recommend him highly enough.

Bob is a really great guy who did not hesitate to give me some great common sense advice regarding our rocking horse toilet. He quoted me a fair price and was honest. This guy is great! He is officially my go to guy for all my future plumbing needs!

We had frozen pipes leading to our water heater. Bob was prompt and professional. He has fair prices. When all the big name plunming companies were too busy. Bob was not. He was helpful. I would recommend him yo my friends.

I was very pleased with the work done by Bob on my basement toilet. I called him in the morning when I needed work done ASAP and he came that afternoon! Bob went above and beyond to replace an ancient toilet in my basement and my new toilet is working perfectly. His pricing is extremely reasonable as well. I will be using Bob for all of my plumbing needs in the future!

Very pleased with my experience with Bob the Plumber. Arrived on time. Solved my issue. Price ended up being less than the initial estimate as the work required became less in scope. (It's not always going to work out like that, but it is nice when you feel you just received fair treatment.) Straight shooter and a nice guy.

Bob came to my house in the early evening, which is very convenient. We smelled gas in a room with a gas fireplace. He looked at the fireplace and also the gas line in my utility room. He recommended I have the gas company come out and test our appliances, since they will do it for free. He had a lot of advice and was very knowledgeable. We didn't need any service, but if we do in the future, I'll definitely call him again!

Bob was fantastic! He came out to my house on a weekend for a clogged kitchen sink. He explained everything he was doing while he was doing it, and gave some tips on how to avoid the problem in the future via regular maintenance, etc. Very quick and knowledgeable. Will definitely use again!

I've used Bob twice this year and once over at my mother's house. He is always prompt and courteous. I've dealt with other plumbers and Bob is the best. He's a 1 man show that gets it done. His pricing definitely beats the big out fits. He's more than far on cost and explains everything well.

My water heater broke last night. Water flooded everywhere. I called Bob around 9pm. I texted him photos and he walked me through shutting everything off so it would be safe for the night. He arrived on time this morning and installed a new water heater. In the process, he reminded me that I needed more water softener salt. I ordered 7 bags online which arrived while he was still here. As he was leaving, he saw the bags and offered to carry them all downstairs for me. He also noticed my broken foot and brought my recycling bin up the driveway for me. Bob went above and beyond- I’m very appreciative!

There are contractors, few and far between, that are worth every penny. Bob is that plumber. When he retires, he will leave a gaping hole in the industry. He is very detail oriented and found and repaired several leaks in my gas lines. He is also personable, so knowlegeable, and not in the least arrogant or condescending about his knowledge. He is now my go-to plumber. Thank you so much.

Bob solved our problem over the phone, after hours, in a snowstorm. Not kidding. He was super helpful and stayed on the phone until our problem was solved. His only request was that we left him a good review. 5/5 will call for all our plumbing needs now. Thanks, Bob!

I can't say enough about Bob. Our kitchen sink clogged on Friday afternoon, and he came over to snake our drain. After removing the sludge from our pipe, we realized our basement drain was clogged as well. We called him on Saturday morning, and he came over to fix that as well. With no hassle and without breaking the bank, we had a fully functioning house again. I can't say enough about Bob and his assistants. Wonderful people, and wonderful work.

So so so happy I called Bob to fix my sinks! He could have charged me a mint and I would have paid it gladly to get my bathroom sinks flowing again. He charged $45 for the whole job and showed me exactly how to fix it myself if/when the problem recurs. Highly recommend!!

I've had terrific experiences with Bob. He is friendly, knowledgeable, professional and affordable. He's always been able to come out same day which is important to me. It's really hard to trust home service professionals these days but I'm thankful I found a plumber I know I can call & rely on.

I picked Bob the Plumber based on these reviews and my experience was nothing like the others. I was way over charged, but wanted to be done with it. The only good part was Bob lost out on a big profit as he had to come back. He didn’t even fix it right. I have sense learned he brags about overcharging elder and women.

I've had Bob out to my home a couple of times and he's great. He fixed a pipe leak under a sink and helped unstuck a frozen washer drain another time. Bob's extremely courteous, professional and always has good help with him. Helluva guy. Definitely recommend.

After seeing Bob's business card posted in my real estate office stating that he does a great job, I was totally shocked at the experiences I had using him on two jobs for my clients, which were done in the same time period.

#1 Property- The bathtub faucet in the clawfoot tub was leaking in the back, and needed replaced. Also, the washing machine drainline was not plumbed in properly under the previous owner, and needed corrected with a proper trap installed.

Bob fixed the laundry drainline, and then came back to do the tub faucet when it came in after ordered.

After the work was completed, I received 2 invoices:

-$1,072 to install new tub faucet($220 of total) and 2 new shut-off valves.... also had to move clawfoot tub to access. And, I found out later that the tub faucet he had installed was not a match to the one that was in before, and had a shower riser. It was understood that he ordered matching faucet with riser.

-$848(after discount!) to cut a 1' x 3' section of wall to access laundry plumbing to repipe with mechanical vent and run drain

The amount was extremely high in price compared to other plumbing invoices I have seen over the years. So, I contacted Bob and asked what his hourly rates are. His response was that he charges a 'Flat Rate'.... by the job only, and not hourly. He then said that his rate fees were on his website. I went to the website and did not find any rate sheet. So then, he began taking pictures of a 'plumbing labor manual'(?) with his finger pointing to prices and emailing them to me. I let him know that it was not clear what I was actually seeing with the pictures he sent. I then let him know that I was going to go out the next morning to look at the work he did, and then I was going to call a few plumbers to find out what they would charge for the same work. I told him that I wanted to resolve the situation as soon as possible, and GET HIM PAID.

The next morning I go to the residence, and find that Bob had gone back into the occupied rental- WITHOUT notifying the tenant, and cut out all of the work that he had done! Evidently, he didn't want anyone to see what he claims was over $1,500 worth of labor- even after I expressed that we wanted to get the situation resolved and pay him asap!

Another licensed plumber was hired to come back and complete the work again- the cost was $650, including the tub faucet that matched the previous one. PRICE DIFFERENCE OF $1,270!

#2 Property- There was no water pressure at the house, and the sump pump was constantly running.

Bob came out that evening to analyze the cause of the problem, and was there approximately 15-30 minutes according to the owner/tenant who were present. He looked in the meter pit and the basement, and said there was a water main break near the front porch and about 6' down. He doesn't do excavating, and so we would need to have it dug out for him to come back and repair. I found a company that was able to do both the excavating and repair. Since it was the day before Thanksgiving, I went ahead and had them get the job done for the tenants. I then let Bob know, and told him that we wanted to pay him his service fee for coming out.
He sent an invoice for $317.00! I asked him if he had used any professional equipment and how long he was at the house. HE DID NOT ANSWER MY QUESTIONS and then again sent me a picture from a 'plumbing labor manual'(?) that said it is $272.00 for 'minor leak detection'. My client went ahead and paid him $45 for the service call.

Bob the Plumber's invoice states, 'Get the price before the work is done and save money $$$$'
There was obviously a reason these prices were not given to me before the work was done! :(

We had a shut off valve in the meter pit at one of our rental properties that needed to be replaced and other plumbing services were charging outrageous prices. I came across BOB THE PLUMBER and he got the job done at a very reasonable price. Me and my fiance were very impressed by the fast service, quality, and results, so if I recommend any type of plumbing services in Indy, it would be BOB THE PLUMBER Thanks again!!!!

Bob the Plummer was awesome!! I called on a Saturday for an emergency call-out on a clogged up toilet that had been clogged since Wednesday. (4 person household, 1 toilet, you do the math... This was an EMERGENCY!) In the initial phone call I was told 2-3 hours which was fine, since most places couldn't help me til Sunday or Monday. But once I texted my info to this business, I was told 35 mins as the ETA! Within 10-15 mins, our toilet was fixed, and I longer had to go to McDonald's to pee. I couldn't be happier with the fast and friendly service.

Bob is the most disrespectful business person I've dealt with in my 15 years living in Indianapolis. I called to inquire about him servicing a plumbing issue. He rudely responded, no, before I could finish my sentence. Very, very unprofessional.
