I could not be happier! Damon went above and beyond , and I will definitely recommend him and John C. Flood to anyone. John C. Flood dispatched Damon, who arrived in under 2 hours from my call for a backed up main sewer drain. He quickly and carefully analyzed the problem and the best way to tackle the work from the standpoint of efficiency and keeping my home clean. He explained what he was doing every step of the way and patiently answered my questions. He was totally patient and professional and a careful worker throughout a long and tedious process. He solved the problem and even went above and beyond the expected by thoroughly cleaning a large area of my basement floor, which could be considered by some to be beyond the scope of work. Damon has an incredible work ethic and customer service orientation. A special shout-out goes to Andy for driving the needed drain camera from Virginia to my home in Maryland.read more

I was just about to leave to go out of town, when I noted a puddle of water on the floor under my main line water shut off. I contacted John C Flood and they instructed me to turn off the main shut off valve, as I was not going to be home, and they would send a technician out first thing the next morning to diagnose and fix the problem. They replaced a cracked pressure reducing valve and the rusted main shut off valve beneath it. I appreciate their caution, promptness and expertise and highly recommend this company.

John Plank was very good, arrived early, worked efficiently, cleaned up nicely, was professional and friendly, and solved the problem. He was great. The drain needed snaking out. Flood's fee for a snaking, however, is very high. He was here less than an hour but the charge was about $460. That seems about $150 too high. Not Mr. Plank's fault. This is my main concern about Flood. You are very expensive.read more

Ricardo arrived on time for the scheduled installation of a new toilet and evaluated the situation with the condition of the existing mounting flange. We decided to replace the flange as part of the installation. He accomplished both tasks.quickly and in a very professional manner. He photographically recorded the steps of the processes (he is a good photographer). He was very neat and removed all traces of debris as part of the installation. In addition, he was very personable as well. I would highly recommend his services.read more

We called one plumbing outfit that we used in the past. We were told an opening in the middle of next week - Wednesday. Sorry! So we called John C. Flood and were told that someone would be by Noon and 4 pm. Around 1 pm, James Brewer arrived. He was here until 3:22 pm. We told him what was wrong and what we had done to date. He explained that it was $99 just for the visit and for the routing or snake job, the total bill would be about $438. He unclogged the drain pipe - took 60 some feet of :snake" to do it but he got the job done. Very pleasant. We had a nice time talking about his interest in running marathons and staying in shape. When all was said and done, he was done and we had drains emptying with little vortex swirling down forcefully taking the water out! What a relief!read more

I never, ever leave reviews but I had to do so in this instance. I was so impressed by the service of the company in general and Eric in particular that I had to say something. Eric came to clear out a clogged and broken sewer line on the afternoon before Thanksgiving, and quite literally saved our family’s Thanksgiving. He returned on Friday to help come up with a practical, longer term solution for me. I trusted his advice, which was plainly designed to do what was best for me and not just what was the most work for John C. Flood. That in my view is better long term business because they have for sure secured a loyal customer in me.read more

I had a family member fix a broken toilet earlier in the week, but it didn't take. I found out this afternoon that not only was the toilet tank leaking, but the water valve was leaking too. A lot. And fast. I called a few other companies and the earliest possible appointment I could get was Tuesday. But when I called John C. Flood the person I spoke with was not only able to calm me down, but they could get somebody out here to look at it within a half hour. Not only was technician Ricardo Peralta early, but he explained the options we had to fix all the problems with the toilet and valve and asked me what I wanted to do. After evaluating the choices we had I said that I wanted to go ahead and replace the toilet and valve. We had figured on just replacing the valves and waiting to replace the toilet but Ricardo offered to call another technician who might be able to bring out a new toilet today. Luckily the other technician was able to get another toilet out here within a half hour. And about a half hour later there is a brand new toilet in the bathroom and the old, leaky valve has been replaced. I cannot sing their praises enough! After everything today I will definitely be using John C. Flood! Thank you so much!read more

I have a two year John C. Flood history getting a new roof top air conditioning unit and repairs to my gas burning heater. For both transactions the work was professionally done in a timely fashion. Even when there were issues with the air conditioning unit, John C. Flood returned quickly to solve them. I currently have a maintenance contract for the gas burning heater. Suggestions: (1) The technician, last week, could stand to benefit from a visit to an otolaryngologist. He could not hear my air conditioner directly over his head. FYI: the air conditioner wakes us up at night it is so loud. (2) The technician should have a clear idea re: product pricing. Day #1 he offered to change the faulty thermostat for free. The second day the price increase to $325 minus $100 rebate. That's a hefty increase over 24 hours.read more

Had an emergency - pipe burst in my home, and called 6 different plumbers. John C. Flood was the only group able to send someone out within a few hours time. A supervisor (a managing plumber in their office) came out at first to help do a temp fix while the technician was still on his way. I was only charged $99 for the initial appointment, even though it was an emergency call. They figured out the permanent solution, scheduled the work to be done as soon as possible, gave me an immediate quote for the work, and followed up with a formal written quote as well. They confirmed my appointment time & window two days before the follow up call, called the morning of to confirm both the appointment and to ensure that I had approved the work & charges, then sent an email & text with a photo of the technician who would be arriving to do the work. Everyone was kind, courteous, and professional from start to finish. The final fix wasn't cheap, but I'm confident that their work is solid and will stand the test of time.read more

Most important, Scott took the time to explain what he was doing, and to prepare me for what to expect with our new Nest thermostat. He made reasonable recommendations (including what should be done now for health and safety reasons), and provided estimates. I definitely will continue to use thus company for all our mechanical needs.read more

Very pleased with John C. Flood. Signed service agreement this past fall. They inspected and repaired everything prior to heat season. They called prior to A/C season to do cooling inspection, however I was out of town and postponed (so as Murphy’s Law would have it) got back in town to a cooling system malfunction message on my Carrier Infinity. John C. Flood (James Edwards, Technician) was at my house 9:00am the next morning. James was fantastic, very pleasant and competent, he found the problem in a matter of minutes, made the appropriate repairs and inspected both A/C units. Very pleased with John C. Flood.read more

Harry Hudson came out the next morning to work on a gas leak in the utility closet and replace a bad regulator. The water heater fumes sensor had stripped, alerting me to the problem. The repairs were in an inconvenient place, but he worked a few hours to make the repairs, including replacing a flexible gas hose. He then attempted to restart the water heater, but the sensor would not reset. He removed the sensor, tried to repair it, but no luck. He found a a supplier with a new sensor and returned within a couple hours to install it. He was pleasant, explained his work, and efficient. Most importantly, he tried to complete the repair the same day to restore hot water when some companies would have just returned the next day. Job very well done, and the care is greatly appreciated. Thanks Harry.read more

James from John Flood was great! He was personable, knowledgeable, and fast. He was able to accomplish what no one before him had - unclogging an old backed up tube. He explained technical things to me in plain English in a professional, friendly manner and made me feel at ease while conducting business in my home. It was easy to set up an appointment, he showed up within the timeframe, had all the necessary tools and material with him, and didn't try to up-sell me for other, none needed services.read more

Luke was great!

Excellent experience from the first call for a water heater replacement the same day to completion of work by Thomas Baker. Very professional office staff and very knowledgeable. Kept me informed while the Tech was responding and the picture of the service tech and name was a nice touch. John explained what he was going to do in detail and answered my questions in detail. Workmanship was excellent. Warranty was explained in detail and operation of the water heater should issues occur was detailed. I elected to purchase a service plan which resulted in a large savings.

(December 2017) I knew our AC unit from 1986 was going to need replacing when we bought the house 6 years ago so finally had someone come out to inspect and price - I called 3 friends and 2 recommended John C Flood so figured I would call them. The service call was great and yes the original system needed replacing but only parts of it (For as little as I know about the system I could have easily been told an entire system replacement). The installation team was friendly, on time, and cleaned up after themselves. I will be among the people recommending them in the future. Update: (6/2018) I got a service contract for twice a year inspection and have been having David Lavis from John C Flood do the work- he is great! Explains everything to me, doesn't try to oversell me things and has a 'this might or might not be an issue we will keep an eye on it next time' attitude, and most importantly makes sure the cat does not get out or into the attic!read more

We always use John C. Flood and this last service call explains why. The plumbing technician was intelligent and helpful, diagnosing the problem in literally seconds, explaining it clearly and suggesting alternative options for purchasing the parts needed for repair at our choice of supplier. He even suggested how we might be able to save money over time by purchasing supplies with a lifetime guarantee. The technician came on schedule at a time of our choosing. John C. Flood may cost a bit more for service than other plumbers, but our family finds that the difference is worth it in terms of reliability and future savings.read more

Luke took time to help my Mother, who had many questions about our heating and air conditioning. He was incredibly patient, thorough and intelligent. He was very knowledgeable about the different brands of air handler systems, showing us exactly how to program the touch screen as well as the push-button screen controls of our two different panels. He demonstrated all the possible uses of the control panels including sleep and away, while letting us choose a simplified set of uses that we felt comfortable with. Then he was also just as informed about how the huge air processors out back worked, and why one showed 17 events the day that storms caused a power interruption. Luke studied the units carefully and tested individual capacitors until he found the weak capacitor, then found that exact part from all the capacitors in his truck quickly, and replaced it in a jiffy. He took time and effort to clean out the disgustingly dirty coils. When I wasn't busy, he showed me that our dryer vent output was placed too near the A/C handler unit, which had been blasting our lint output towards our intake coils. This had contributed to our filters getting filthy sooner than usual. He suggested different remedies and methods to improve the condition, and told me what else needed to be cleaned in order for our air to be better. He patiently told us about the different MERV numbers on our air filters, and potential pros and cons of those. He also recalled that our system had leaked before, showed me where, and helped advise me about a moisture detector alarm device that we will install soon to prevent further floods or leaks. I asked about UV air scrubbers, so he explained how they work, how much various kinds cost, where those would be installed, and the benefits of scrubbers. He was very polite, even when his boss interrupted with phone-calls to find out information Luke always knew off the top of his head about numerous other customers' air systems. I was both highly impressed and extremely pleased with the service we were privileged to get from this gentleman. We are grateful to feel less ignorant about what is going on inside the air handlers, and to really understand their operation, all because of Luke. Thank you!read more

I initially used another Home Service app to find a plumber to help with a backed up sump pump. While that person was nice, he didn’t seem very confident in his diagnosis or course of action. My husband suggested we call John C. Flood. The young lady who helped me make an appointment was so nice. I also thought it was a FANTASTIC feature that they sent me a text when my Technician Eric was on his way and included his picture! Eric was very friendly and knowledgeable. He had to cut our pipe to release the water trapped in our sump pumps (which were perilously close to overflowing in our basement). I really liked Eric and was very impressed with his bedside manner. He’s a great asset to that company We still have to determine the root cause of the backup and get that fixed in the next few days. We will be sure to call John C. Flood again!read more
