Very nice man installed my kitchen faucet in 45 minutes. I chose the faucet and it fit perfectly. Ernie was great and kind.

Jay arrived the next morning after my call and promptly went to work accessing the sewer connection, pumping and then filling in the whole and placing the sod back. The septic system was working well and Jay said if we have more back rumble in the toilets we may need interior plumbing cleaning done.

Amazing experience with cleaning out the septic tank! Lindsay was awesome to work with on the administrative side and Jay did a great job onsite and then explaining all of the technical bits. I was able to coordinate everything from out of state, with ease. Thanks a million guys!

Ernie came and installed a new pipe underneath my sink and he was kind. Ernie made sure there was no leaks before he left

Did wonderfully! Staff were kind and helpful. We found out we have two sewage tanks at our house and were able to squeeze us in within a few days to get both pumped. Highly recommend!

Busy Bee came out and fixed our problem on Christmas Eve rescuing our family plans for Christmas day. Very honest, professional and reliable company. Everything happened just the way they told me it would over the phone. I highly recommend Busy Bee Plumbing, cause I know for sure they will be my first call the next time i need plumbing service. Oh yea and they saved me $800 off the first quote I'd gotten from a different company out of Richmond. Thank you Jay and all the Busy Bee crew.

I can only tell you what I know. Have used for service numerous times with nothing but positive results. And One for Ernie "He gets it done".

Used Busy Bee a second time and Ernie was just as amazing as before. Arrived on time, found the leak, got it all fixed up and even cleaned up after. Very fair prices. Appreciate you all!

Multiple issues over several visits: $500 to change out a kitchen sink/faucet that I purchased (so that does not include the cost of the parts), and the faucet swiveled from the base (it's supposed to swivel IN the base, not the base swivel), was not caulked around the sink, the hot/cold water lines reversed, drain was not caulked/tightened down (so it moved and leaked), and the drain lines were not tightened down/leaked. 2 bathroom sink faucets were asked to be repaired and I was told they could not and to have them install new ones - the only issue here was they needed to (again) be tightened down. Also, one of my bathroom sinks was cracked while they were here (I also had other workers in the house, so I could not verify who did it), and was told that they would not warrant work on them replacing the toilet ring/fixture (that they had to take off to have our septic line traced) because we already had the parts and the tech CHOSE to use our parts instead of theirs (they did eventually resolve, but really?).

I will not be calling them back; WAY overpriced and lack of concern for their work.

This was a horrible expensive repair I would not recommend them at all it cost 650.00 to have a drain unclogged and a drain line repaired that had fell down while being worked on which I understand that we should have been charged a fair price since it happened but this expense is ridiculous.

Busy Bee Plumbing and Septic Service is the best in the area! They have helped with all of our septic/plumbing needs for seven years and I wouldn't think of calling anyone else.

Two technicians came out for an estimate on a leaking pipe. Charged $100 for the FREE estimate and quoted over $1400 (“could possibly take longer”). Technician was reluctant to write down an estimate. He verbally stated that it would take possibly 8.5 hours to replace 10 feet of pipe with shark bites and flex tubing ?!?!

Ernie and Casper were excellent! They were very professional and friendly. Highly recommend. Will definitely call them again if I need their service!

Very satisfied! Had some leaks pop up recently after a hard freeze, needed multiple fixtures replaced. Ernie was prompt, did the work quickly, and even fixed a small water heater leak for no additional charge! A needed part was ordered quickly, and the repairs work without issue. Will definitely use them again in the future should the need arise.
Office staff was very friendly and easy to work with

Thank you Busy Bee! All of our septic issues are now resolved. Jay was very informative and professional. Their prices were competitive of others in the area.

What a great company! They were quick to solve our problem and were very reasonable with their pricing. They also employ veterans which is a huge plus in my book! Highly recommended!

$800 to pump a tank. EIGHT. HUNDRED. DOLLARS. Nothing special, just pump the tank. Flat out told us that it would cost $300 in London, but since he came outside his service area to Leslie county, charged us $800. It's 40 miles, tops. The service wasn't bad, but they are flat out taking advantage of people.

We wanted someone to assess our septic lines and potentially repair/replace. Michael was the technician who responded and was excellent and informative when running the camera. At the end they charged a fee for the camera service (which was never disclosed initially over the phone during the appointment set up or before they did it). To that end, the hope was there could be an intervention to repair the bad pipes, I was told the master plumber would call. Then I was told on two different occasions “he” would come to my house and they never showed up! This required me taking off work, and arranging someone to be available. Not only that, they didn’t call to inform me of them not coming. — so overall horrible customer service. They shouldn’t charge people for a service to discover issues and not be able to give them options to repair/replace. Should have called FastFlow first, however I was wanting to give a local business an opportunity, but was only met with disappointment.

Called them about my septic acting up, they came out within 2 days. Very punctual, very professional, and most importantly I wasn't treated as a number. I highly recommend them to anyone.

Horrible communication. Everything I was told from the consultant did not match what the plumber told me. Called three times and went over my instalment needs, went over with plumber as well, after three hrs I was able to get a faucet plus a connector to use with my grill sink. A job that should of taken I hr took 3 due to all the miscommunication. The pipe is a cheap plastic with 5 cuplings which I know will not hold and give me trouble. Tried to charge me 475 was billing me the wrong amount of time but then adjusted my bill correctly. I was told my sink was the wrong size and he didn’t have any glue, they didn’t tell him it was an under mount. I later had the same sink installed by someone else. Unprepared. I paid and said thank you but never never again. Ripped off

This guy is very honest...he is very informative, he knows his stuff. We recommend him highly and plan to use him in the future. Thank you to the great service and not charging for something that didn't need done! Highly recommend Busy Bee Plumbing and Septic

Jay was super helpful explained our systems to us. He was on time and efficient. Will use Busy Bee again and will share their contact info with friends and neighbors.

Vicky Young

Had them to pump out our tank that went ok.. The 1 star is because they totally took our neighbors for granted when doing work for them. They only called them for service because they saw them in our yard doing work. We will never have them do any kind of work for us again or will any of our family and friends. You don't take advantage of the elderly.

Becca Hall

I am revising my review because you all asked what work you done for me. You didn’t do any work for me, but you did work on my parents septic system. You all being the “master” plumbers should know what size pump goes into the different systems. When a customer has a pump on their system that goes out, do not assume a smaller one would work, and then order it, without even consulting the customers! They should not have been charged like it was 2 separate jobs because of YOUR doing. I really hope y’all can sleep well at night, knowing how you ripped off good honest people!!

Had a small septic issue late Friday afternoon and was really hoping to get someone out on Monday morning... but they volunteered to come early Sat morning so we wouldn't have to live with it over the weekend! They were friendly and professional and we loved the service guy who came out. We're already talking with them about another project. Thank you for the great service!

GREAT experience with Busy Bee! Called before he arrived, took care of the issue quickly, and cleaned up after himself! He was very personable as well. Highly, highly recommend Busy Bee.
