Kevin and others came and solved a problem with our gas fireplace that others and tried and failed multiple times. He worked tirelessly to troubleshoot a crazy problem, brought Duke energy out, brought out owner of Zins, all to ensure that we werent left with an unresolved issue. We are grateful for their diligence and would definitely call Zins again.

We had a few fixtures replaced in our condo, and **we** had a difficult tub spout problem that kept dripping. The plumber wouldnt give up until he fixed the problem. He said he liked fixing difficult problems. **He was** extremely professional, and the pricing was great compared to other work Ive had done by other companies. I would recommend him and will use him again if any more plumbing problems arise.

Love Zins. Ive used them for the last 15 years. I will continue to have them be my go to for anything plumbing. They always have done good work for me, their prices are better than most, and they stand behind the quality of their work.

I recently purchased a home and had Zins come out for some plumbing work. I am so glad I chose Zins and I will go to them for any future plumbing needs. Prices are better then other companies and they dont try an upsale you things that are not needed. Jim W. was was able to move our hot water heater for some basement work and installed a water line to our fridge that was being delivered but not yet there yet. Once the fridge was delivered, he came back and hooked the line to the fridge. We now have cold water and ice. Jim did quality work and provided education about our home plumbling. Zins is lucky to have an experienced plumber like Jim on board, and I feel lucky to have found this company.

Jim was very kind and came to assess the job. The whole crew that came out to do the job were kind, informative, and professional. They diagnosed an issue with my main shower that others could not detect and I have been able to use my shower with the drain repair without issue 🙏. They also repiped my basement plumbing quickly and efficiently. Would 110%recommend!

Im a little late in writing this review. Ron Zin came to our house just before the Christmas Eve blizzard and diagnosed a broken sewer line that was causing severe sewage odor in the house. Even with several other pressing calls for broken pipes, etc., he was able to spend an hour diagnosing the problem so that a repair could be planned once the temperature rose. We had a little back & forth on getting the follow-up scheduled, and the 1st day the ground thawed they sent a crew of 4 to get it corrected in half a day. The basement has been great ever since and the price was as agreed. The crew was extremely professional & courteous, cleaned up better than almost all other contractors whove been to our house, and were more than willing to answer all of my questions during the whole process. I really appreciate the great work and responsiveness during tough time.

I contacted Zins to see if they serviced in my area, unfortunately they did not. But instead of that being the end of the phone call, they recommended a company in my area. I was able to have my plumbing issue resolved within three hours! I definitely will recommend them to friends and family for their great customer service alone.

KUDOS to Ron Zin. Ron, the owner and head plumber came to my house on a Saturday, at literally a moments notice, and resolved a difficult sewer clean-out challange that I had had been struggling to fix myself for hours, with a rented auger (its a stinky job). Ron knew just what to do, and got it fixed within 30-40 minutes. Not only is Ron a resposive and highly skilled plumber, hes a super nice and friendly guy. He even helped me move my rental equipment back upstairs to my car, then he threw in a free canister of emzyme treatment to prevent the blockage problem from happening again. THANK YOU RON ZIN: I love the way you do business!

I had to replace my stack leading from my second story bathroom, the project was estimated to last 3-3-1/2 days. The project was completed in 3. Every person I spoke to at Zins was professional, competent and an absolute pleasure to work with. I am most certainly a life long customer now.

Review 10 (2023-09-12 - Rating: 5)
Had some issues with our commercial building. Zins has been out a couple times, and have been amazing to work with. Definitely get the job done, and working with the city to get issues resolved with the street main line.

Review 11 (2020-06-10 - Rating: 5)
I had a main drain backup in my home. They sent out Keith and he was amazing. Very pleasant and professional. He took him time to clear the line and make sure we had no more issues. He was very patient and explained how everything worked, I like to know those things. This company and Keith made the experience a great one. I would recommend them to anyone.

Review 12 (2021-02-05 - Rating: 5)
After moving into a new house, we immediately had several plumbing issues. Zins came recommended to me by my real estate agent (one of the best in the city, so I definitely trust her recommendations for stuff like this). So far I have been dealing with Mike on site and Holly over the phone... Both have been incredibly delightful, knowledgeable, and helpful in getting my situation figured out. I had taken a while to follow up on some things, but Mike took a moment out of his own day to check up on me and see if there was anything else I needed for them to do, or if I needed any other support with my issues... I feel like follow-up calls like this are almost non-existent these days and I really appreciated the detailed service. Will be calling them again in the future for sure.

Review 13 (2023-05-17 - Rating: 5)
Lets set the scene. In the trials and tribulations of everyday life, working hard to put food on the table and keeping a roof over our head, an unfortunate appliance decides to breath its last breath. Our gas dryer from the 90s says good bye. Making the tough, and unplanned, decision to purchase a new dryer, I head on down to our local big box retailer. Well call it Blowes. I shop the selection of available dryers and decide to go ahead with a modest Whirlpool dryer. Purchasing was a breeze. Scheduled delivery AND installation for two days later. Process felt simple and efficient (hint this is foreshadowing that were gonna hit some roadblocks).I knew going into this adventure that the trick would be getting it down into our narrow basement corridor. Dad and I were able to get a washer through the narrow passage a year earlier, so I knew it was possible. The day comes. The dryer arrives. Blowes independent contractors get the dryer to the top of the basement steps. Try to walk it down. SMH, as the kids say. Doesnt work. They then proceed to say they cannot finish the delivery due to liability; either I refuse the dryer and they take it back or I can do it myself. BLIND RAGE ENSUES....Told them to leave it.My sweet mother (54!), bless her heart, comes over to assist in getting the dryer into the basement. Put it on the dolly. Lower it down into the corridor and roll into the basement. Took 2 minutes. One step closer to the finish line.With my head slightly more clear, I got to solving the problem of hooking up the gas dryer. Gas is something I leave to the professionals (and dairy). I recall in our local area seeing the large Zins sign and hearing wonderful things about their service. I reach out. Hollie answered... BOOM. Yes, they do gas hookups. BOOM. Yes, they can be at my home today. Technician Kevin arrived a few hours later, he was professional and personable, hooked up the machine and made sure the dryer was level! I couldnt ask for a better service. A tale as old as time: the small business fixes Blowes issue (or something like that). It was a day wrought with anger and disappointment only to be saved by Zins Plumbing.In all seriousness (if youve made it this far), the professionalism and service were top notch. Kevin and Hollie made my day. Bottom Line: Zins Plumbing will be my first call for all my plumbing issues, and they should be yours too.

Review 14 (2023-01-06 - Rating: 5)
Old house, gas leak, old pipe.Dont waste your time or sanity by calling someone else. If you have a problem that needs fixed urgently, they will make sure it gets done. Holly got Mike out to my house the same afternoon, he diagnosed the issue and wrote me a fair estimate (only 10k less than another advertised co.)! Mike showed up before 8 and problem was fixed by 11. Duke inspector asked me who did it as he was impressed. No problems just solutions. And to top that off Holly just called to asked if everything is OK.

Review 15 (2021-12-22 - Rating: 5)
We had a 12 unit apartment building that needed all new gas piping. Kevin at Zins Plumbing came out within one hour to give us a quote and an estimate on when the job would be done. Once I confirmed, Zins showed up exactly when they said and did the massive job exactly as specified. I will definitely call them again for projects big or small.

Review 16 (2021-05-04 - Rating: 5)
Its hard to trust contractors with so many big name companies trying to get rich on homeowners. Zins has earned our trust. They are willing to quote approaches that other companies wont to fix our 120 year old home plumbing woes and have consistently executed at it below budget. Good, trustworthy and talented people.

Review 17 (2024-01-05 - Rating: 5)
I only ever call these guys for plumbing issues. We have used them for years. I trust them to do the right thing and the right way every time. One of the few good plumbers left.

Review 18 (2019-12-27 - Rating: 5)
My mom had Zins plumbing out to her house over the holidays to fix a backed up drain. It was great they could come out and resolve the issue within one day, in the holiday season. They stayed for hours until the problem was resolved. They also cleaned up and sanitized the area, which she appreciated. We are grateful for their services.

Review 19 (2022-03-25 - Rating: 5)
Zins repaired an old stack that had cracked and created a leak throughout my kitchen and basement. Kevin and Kevin were both extremely helpful and responsive, and actually completed the job in half the time (and cost) that had been originally quoted. I would highly recommend their services.

Review 20 (2021-01-02 - Rating: 5)
I really appreciated the professional, informational interaction I had with my plumber. He provided several options and provided estimates on future work. In what was a bad homeowner situation I had a good outcome. I will continue to use Zins for all mu pluming needs.

John did an excellent job repairing our shower and toilet. He was also professional, friendly and personable. Price was very reasonable. Highly recommend Zins Plumbing.

Review 22 (2019-07-19 - Rating: 5)
After calling Another company who tried to charge me $90 for an outrageous estimate claiming it would be a 4 hour job. I called Zins. Their price was a third of the others, they were honest about cost of materials and there were no additional fees. Kevin hooked up my gas stove in about an hour and was professional about my mess of a situation. I will definitely use Zins for all my future plumbing.

Review 23 (2020-09-18 - Rating: 5)
Zins Plumbing was a pleasure to work with. They were extremely professional, courteous and timely. Their estimate of the work to be done was accurate with no hidden surprises and reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend them to family and friends and will certainly call Zins Plumbing for any future needs.

Review 24 (2022-04-12 - Rating: 5)
During my basement project, Zins was awesome rerouting my basement bathroom plumbing; concrete floor demolition, new pipes for shower and vanity, and installation of a 150 pound shower pan. And, I was charged $1,000 LESS than the original e$timate. What companies would do that - lower the price I was prepared to pay on a more-than-fair estimate. Zins will get all of my future projects.

Review 25 (2019-06-06 - Rating: 5)
Mike and Dylan were very professional and knowledgeable. They not only identified and solved problems but they explained exactly what was involved. They did not try to sell anything I did not really need. I will be using Zins for my plumbing needs in the future. Mike and Dylan were the best!

Review 26 (2021-08-30 - Rating: 5)
Very impressed with everyone from Hollie in the office, Jim who came out initially & told us what they needed to do & Kevin & Wyatt who arrived on time & got the work done in record time. Everyone was kind, professional, and knowledgeable and we will definitely call them again if needed.

Review 27 (2016-06-27 - Rating: 5)
I have renovating properties for 11 years. There are about 5 companies or people I actually trust whom I contract with for repairs. Zins is one of them. They always show up when they say they will. They always fix everything. They are worth their costs. They come back out and make things right if something else happens which it never does.It is more important that your contractors do what they say and can be relied on to make things right than it is to be the cheapest guy out of 1000. I cannot emphasize enough how much better it is to work with companies whom you know exactly what you are getting. Variable costs, no shows. delays, etc. kill my business. Zins only helps it.

Great plumbing service. Very reliable workers and very knowledgeable. Two of their wonderful employees, Jim and John are the 2 you hope to show up. Good personalities and theyll do fabulous work!

Review 31 (2020-02-03 - Rating: 5)
Needed replacement of our cast iron waste line, got a very high quote from one plumber, had Zins quote the job and the quote came in much lower. Zins came out and completed the job and, incredibly enough, only charged me a little more than half of the original quote. Uh, guess who I will call for any future plumbing issues...Zins!

Review 32 (2016-05-20 - Rating: 5)
Zins installed my water heater and did some other pipe repairs. I was wondering if I had unnecessary work done, until, the Butler County Health Inspector came today to ensure our water heater was up to standard. The inspector raved on and on about Zins. Said that they are the best company in the Tri State. I posted this info on my facebook. I moved here from California 8 years ago and God has blessed our family ever since, including our chance run in with Zins. Will be using them and only them from now on for any plumbing needs.

I was referred by another reliable, plumber to Mr. Zins; a true blessing!Mr.Ron Zins was very knowledgeable and also offered advice on ways to maintain clogged drains, which is greatly appreciated. Thank you for coming out so quickly and being professional.

Review 37 (2018-07-17 - Rating: 5)
Dear Zin’s PlumbingOn July 10th I had an appointment with your company for a clogged outside drain that ran under my driveway. I thought for sure there was a break in the pipe and was told by two other plumbers that, yes, it was indeed a break. They ran cameras and did “snaking” and confirmed their findings.John Segrist came to my house, ran the camera and said he thought there was just a bad clog of roots and that running the slake and clearing the roots would do the trick.And he was right!!! John worked and worked to clear the drain and ran the camera several times to make sure the roots were gone and added RootX. He told me to do the same and then have him back every spring to keep the roots out. What an amazing man. Being a woman alone I appreciate more than you can imagine an honest service person.I just wanted you to know what a great employee you have in John Segrist. He turned what I anticipated would be a bad day into a really good one.Thank you John Segrist and Zin’s Plumbing for your honesty and hard work.Sincerely,Dianne Kruetzkamp

Great experience with David from Zin’s. I had them over to dig up my basement and install a cleanout based on what 2 other plumbers recommended. David thought it was un necessry and was able to jet it for 25% of the original cost! Gotta love saving money! Thanks Zin’s and eapecially David!

Today was my first experience with this company. I totally cant brag on them enough. They dont corner you into thinking theres a huge problem before trying to see if there is a simple solution.

Ill follow up with what develops but these professionals are great. Fingers crossed!

We have used Zins many times, at multiple homes, for many different things....from just a basic fix to a complete stormwater sewer line replacement that involved a lot of digging and jackhammering. All the plumbers have been timely, courteous, expedient, clean, fairly and competitively priced, professional and most importantly they know what they’re doing. Our entire family uses their services and we’re all thoroughly pleased. Thanks for coming out today, thanks for all the times over the past 10 or 15 years, and we’ll look forward to having them back....just hopefully no time soon!!!

Called to get a quote for replacing an emergency shutoff valve that was incorrectly installed when before I purchased my home. When I called, Hollie was courteous and professional in getting me an accurate quote for service, and she had my plumber Ed out within a few days. Repair took just a few minutes, and final price even was lower than the original quoted cost.

We noticed water coming up from our basement drains about half an hour before our daughters birthday on a Saturday. I called Zins and Ron the owner was at our house within half an hour to clear the clogged drain pipe. When he found that the clog was in the city easement, he contacted the city and waited until they arrived so he could talk directly to them about what they needed to do to repair the offset pipe. Thank you so much Ron!

We moved into a new house and immediately found that we had a plumbing issue. Our basement flooded and everything backed up.I called Zins, as I had used them before in a previous house. John came out and I was surprised to find that he was familiar with the house, as he had installed our sump pump for the previous owner.John knew almost immediately what the issue was and went to work. In a short time he had a ton of roots taken out of the main pipe.Ive never had anything but good luck with Zins. An amazing and HONEST company. Ill use them again in the future for sure!

After getting an outrageous quote for a new gas line from another local plumbing company, I called Zin’s. Holly was extremely pleasant to talk to when scheduling the estimate and subsequent service. Zins’s pricing was much more reasonable and Kevin, the plumber was very friendly and courteous. The job was done quickly and efficiently.
