They came out to replace my sewer line, and from start to finish, they were professional, efficient, and incredibly knowledgeable. The team took the time to explain the process, answered all my questions, and made sure everything was done correctly. The job was completed on time and within budget, and I’m relieved to have such high-quality work done on my home. I highly recommend Tri-State Plumbing to anyone in need of plumbing services — they truly go above and beyond!Posted on Kevin QFebruary 28, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great customer service!!! I called them thinking it was another business (different industry). The gentleman who answered, Mike, was very helpful. He provided me the info I needed, directed me to the correct company, and even took the time to get me the contact info. Exceptional customer service! And I should know... I'm Director of Client Relations for my firm. Way to go above and beyond for someone who was not a customer. If I ever need their industry's services they will certainly be at the top of my call list.Posted on Dylan DDecember 24, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a bad clog running through my trash disposal. Was pushing water and grim through the back of the water tank, and it was a mess. Jacob and Ricky came by Christmas Eve, and did a fantastic job identifying the problem and snaking the line. Both guys were very professional and was able to answer all of my questions. Would recommend them and the company to anybody having plumping issues in Greenville!Posted on Valeria KDecember 23, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
