    I had sewage backing up into my basement and ended up needing to replace the sewer line, as well as needing to add a sump pump and sewage ejector in my basement.I took my time to vet multiple local companies, collect estimates, and then worked to bring MSD to the table as well.Of the companies that I received quotes from (ASI, Danhauer, Blackburn and Davis, and a friend that had his master plumber’s license), Blackburn and Davis beat the competition by a good margin.Pros:The employees that came out were kind, patient, and professional. They took their time to involve me in updates and progress reports.Missi was very kind and patient with the multiple calls I made to the office throughout the project. She and Jeremy worked with me to ensure that my expectations were met, and provided documentation that I requested as well.Work seems to be executed well, and upon request the team was able to ensure that my yard was satisfactorily put back together after excavation, and worked to clean up in the basement prior to departure. The team also came back out once to re-level some concrete work as well.Cons:Because of the size of the company, and at times being somewhat short handed, communication and the project itself took a little longer than planned.**However, because of the size of the company and the philosophy of the owner, you also get a more than fair price in a market where larger companies collectively seek to gouge the customers in this city (Danhauer), or offer off-the-wall plans to fix the problem that ultimately would either fail, cost too much, or don’t make sense (ASI) when reviewed by other companies.**So in summary: good things come to those who can be patient. Based upon my experience, I would have no reservations recommending Blackburn and Davis. I will also use them in the future.

    I have used Blackburn & Davis for 30 years for all my plumbing and HVAC needs. I recently had Daryl out to get my A/C working. Per usual, the repair was made in a timely manner and at what I feel to be a reasonable cost. For me, a good Plumbing/HVAC company is as important as a good auto mechanic, electrician and carpenter. Blackburn & Davis is the ONLY one I need to call. Thanks guys!!John PowellCity of LouisvilleChief Mechanical Inspector - RetiredSept 2022 - Another quality installation!!!

    Recently had an emergency situation at my 91 year old mothers house of a severely cracked drain pipe leading from the rear of the house to the front and out to the sewer. Blackburn and Davis sent two young men out who took measurements, photos and worked to prepare an estimate which I received by email the next day. The price was very fair and they began work immediately. Unforunately we were hit with a monsoon which was followed by a week of sub-freezing weather which slowed the repair somewhat but the company kept me up date regularly and finished the work really much quicker than I expected. The entire staff of B&D was very professional, responisive to my questions and worked with me to help keep my mothers stress level down. Should I need plumbing repair anytime in the furture I will be returning to this company and recommend the highly!

    Blackburn and Davis was recommended to us when our steam shower stopped working. They went above in beyond from start to finish - properly diagnosing the problem, working with the manufacturer’s warranty department to receive a replacement part, and installing the new piece. We did not even realize it was under warranty and really appreciate the extra effort they put into it.So, when we needed a plumber for our water heater we again contacted Blackburn and Davis. They were again polite, professional, and knowledgeable. They promptly and correctly diagnosed the problem and performed the necessary repairs. I appreciate that they took the time to answer my questions while they were here.We would absolutely recommend Blackburn and Davis without reservation.

    Woke up this morning to no hot water!Called B&D on a Saturday morning, and got a recorded message, wondering if I faced two days of no hot water!I called another well-known plumbing company and scheduled and estimate visit. Meanwhile, I received a return call from a B&D technician in less than fifteen minutes! The technician was at the house, preparing the removal of the old leaking unit less the 30 minutes later. He and a helper came back with a new 50 gal, gas Lochinvar, and had it installed and working in about 3 hrs from my initial call!To be honest, we have used Blackburn & Davis for many years for plumbing & HVAC, as had my mother-in-law. I shouldnt have worried when I got the standard office recording, as the owner checks the machine every morning, I was told.I would recommend Blackburn & Davis for any plumbing or HVAC needs!

    *Updated* I just recently got off the phone with the people at Blackburn & Davis. They are doing away with my bill. Im changing my review from 1 star to 4 on the basis that they helped me out in a difficult situation with my bill. They were also incredibly polite and the two men who came to my house were good guys.

    When we bought our house in J-Town nearly 4 years ago we found out that the addition (added in 2000) had radiant heat. I was, like, AWESOME, because while fan-forced heat is the norm, bare feet on a heated floor is a pretty cool thing, especially in the cooler months.Fast forward to a few weeks ago when Jim (thats me!) noticed that the floor wasnt warm, even though Id turned the radiant heat on. Checking the circulation pumps I noticed the one for our bedroom was really but not circulating hot water. This makes for unhappy Jim, because the sole reason I go barefoot in the bedroom (did ya catch that pun?) is that I likes the warm on the feets.As realization set it, I decided that as much as I could *try* to replace the circulation pumps myself (Jim is a pretty handy guy), but I didnt want to run into something that would have ended up costing me more to fix and if Id have called an expert in the first place.To the yellow pages I go (thats purely a figure of speech any more...seriously) to see abut getting the pumps replaced. I started w/Drexler (who replaced our HVAC system a couple years ago). -- They dont do radiant (or, as Ive come to learn, Hydronic) heat.I called Jarboes -- Nope.I called Maeser -- Nope.After a few disappointing phone calls that werent getting me any closer to warming my feet, I tried a different approach. Instead of calling and trying my luck, I called the local plumbing supply business and asked the question Who in the area services residential hydronic heating?. They had one answer.Blackburn and Davis was that answer.I called to see if I could get someone out to fix my cold feet problem and they said theyd give me a call on Monday morning to see when someone would be out. Monday morning I got a phone call and was told theyd be out that morning. Less than an hour later they were at my front door.I let them in and told them what the problem was and he started to diagnose the issue. In less then 10 minutes he had figured it out, said he had the parts he needed on the truck, and gave me an estimate. A quick call to the wife to let her know what was going on, and they went right to work.As I watched (Im an observer, not the hover over a guy and ask a bunch of questions to slow him down kinda guy.) I could tell that he was experienced at replacing these pumps and knew what he was doing.Remember when I said I thought about buying the pumps and doing it myself? I was about 2/3 of the way correct. One of the bolts from the old pump wouldnt come off, so he had to use a nifty little round electrical hand-held saw to for that part (Jim doesnt have one of those). There were also a couple other parts that were needed that Jim probably didnt have, either.About 90 minutes later the pumps were replaced, the work area was cleaned up, and Jims feet were warm again.I definitely made the right choice in calling Blackburn and Davis.

    I had a GREAT experience with Blackburn & Davis. They truly went above and beyond for me.... they (Daryl) came in and were able to fix what another company had royally messed up on a disastrous install (literally installed backwards) and get my AC up and running within the hour. I would highly recommend Blackburn & Davis!

    When i called to set up a tech the lady was a little rude when i told her i needed a tech later in the day. But when the 2 techs got to my house they were super friendly and got the issue fixed no problem. I will use them again.
