I woke up to no water flowing from my pipes for the first time in owning my house in 8 years. I had frozen from the polar vortex of early January, 2014. I called several plumbers and left several messages. Ken’s son Danny called back right away and was able to come over with Ken. They plugged-in a machine that looked like a car battery on steroids. They put one clamp next to the water heater and another next to a sink that had no water and turned it on. It shot electricity through the copper piping for 30 – 45 minutes. Slowly but surely drips starting coming out of the sink. Finally the ice melted and you could hear the water flowing. It wasn’t long before every faucet was working. This was such a better solution than having someone get into the walls to «fix» the problem before a pipe burst. I was so fortunate to have been recommended to these guys. I would highly recommend them. They were prompt, courteous, professional and even funny. They saved me a lot of time and grief. If you have frozen pipes, call these guys.

I had a need for a plumber, and came to Unilocal for help. I chose Ken’s based on other reviews, and I was not disappointed. I located the website and put in my information and problem at 10:30 on a Wednesday night, and received a call about 15 minutes later from someone who had received my online request form. The person I spoke with(he never identified himself) walked me through my options, and scheduled service for the next morning. He called when he said he would to check in, and sent someone over within an hour. The guy he sent was courteous, took off his shoes before entering my home(big plus!) and reviewed with me what *might* have to happen. Turned out to be an easy fix, which I was thankful for. The same person I spoke with the evening before followed up with me about an hour after the service appointment was complete, to make sure I was satisfied. I will definitely call Ken’s again in the future, should the need arise!

Used ken’s several times through the years. Always fast service and reasonable rates. It’s a family business, run by «Ken». Line in the floor plugged. Called them on a Sunday at 5pm. They had it open by 7:30! Impressed.
