Accountability & Trust
John The Plumber scores well for accountability and trust. They have been in business for 14 years, and they have had 1 complaint filed against them with the Better Business Bureau over the past 3 years. In our view, they could improve some more by becoming accredited by the Better Business Bureau and improving their rating with the Better Business Bureau.
Online Reviews
When it comes to online ratings and reviews, the company does fairly well with decent reviews on Yelp, HomeStars, and Yelp. We were concerned to see some unnatural online review patterns. This sometimes happens when plumbing companies encourage a lot of their most satisfied customers to review the company on specific websites.
Warranties & Satisfaction Guarantee
We believe it is very important that every plumber assure the quality of their work in some way. The most common ways to do this are with a parts and labour warranty and sometimes – in the best cases – with a satisfaction guarantee on top of all this. A satisfaction guarantee assures you, the one footing the bill, that the work you pay for is not finished until you’re satisfied that it’s done.
While warranties and satisfaction guarantees are fairly common in some Canadian cities, only 30% of plumbing services publically offer them in the Greater Ottawa Area. However, it’s good to see that John The Plumber offers a warranty of 2 years on all installations.
