Project: Underground Sewer Lateral Installation and Septic Abatement. When I started this project in 2023, I shopped around extensively for contractors, and no one came close to the complete package offered by Smelly Mel's Plumbing Inc.

Gianni and Isaac did a fantastic job installing my tankless water heater. They were very professional even helped me install the RAM app to make sure that I can manually turn on my circulation pump. It took quite some time there were technical difficulties while doing so but they stuck around and helped me out would highly recommend fantastic service.

Ed Montelongo of Smelly Mel’s just came to my house. Could not have been nicer, more professional or more knowledgeable. I was concerned that my outdoor drainage system was backing up and, based on prior experience, was worried that I had a block in the drainage line underneath the house that would take lots of time and money to solve. In about 15 minutes, Ed figured out that the problem was where the gutter and the downspout met and told me how to fix it. And there was no charge. I’ve used Smelly Mel’s for a prior big job (replacing the sewer line from the house to the street) and now this minor work. I highly recommend them and Ed!
