Vaughn was great! He was pretty sure what the problem was but did his due diligence. He confirmed that we were okay with the invasive work required and, as with all our John the Plumber folks, confirmed the price was okay before proceeding. Will keep using John the Plumber.Posted on Google![]()

We have dealt for the first time with Joh n the plumber and are very impressed with the service and ethical integrity that Brad their septic technician was. He took the time to explain and give us various options with our older septic system. I would recommend him and John the Plumber to anyone. Thank youPosted on Google![]()

Ryen and Jordan did an exceptional job addressing a kitchen sink that wouldn't drain. They were professional, hunted the problem until it was resolved, and then made a quick fix to help prevent the issue from reoccurring. Moreover, they quoted me for a proper longterm fix and weren't aggressive or pushy. They blew my expectations out of the water and I wouldn't hesitate with using them again in the future. I hope that their great work and friendly disposition doesn't go unnoticed by any higher-ups!Posted on Google![]()

I can't say enough good things about Matt and Elia from John the Plumber! Not only are they excellent problem solvers who really know their stuff, but they're also genuinely great people. They arrived right on time, were incredibly efficient, and were super friendly and professional throughout the entire experience. It's refreshing to deal with people who not only take pride in their work but also make the whole experience pleasant and stress-free. They went above and beyond, and their positive attitudes and dedication really stood out. I highly recommend Matt and Elia to anyone looking for reliable, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring plumbers. John the Plumber is lucky to have these two on their team! Thanks again, guys, for the outstanding service!
Common signs include gurgling drains, foul odors from sinks or tubs, slow drainage, or toilets that don’t flush properly. These issues often point to poor venting or blockages that need professional attention.
Plumbing vents allow air to enter the pipes, which helps water flow smoothly and prevents sewer gases from entering your home. Without proper venting, drains can become sluggish and your home may experience unpleasant odors.
In many cases, venting issues can be fixed with simple repairs like clearing blockages or sealing leaks. However, damaged or poorly designed vent systems may require upgrades or replacement to meet code and function properly.
If you’re experiencing frequent clogs, bad smells, or slow drains throughout your home — not just in one area — it’s likely a venting issue. A licensed plumber can inspect the system, identify the problem, and provide the right solution.
