Claim This BusinessBob Frame Plumbing Services has served South Bend and surrounding northern Indiana communities since the company was established. The family-owned business operates from 2442 Jaclyn Court and maintains a current license while employing licensed and insured technicians across residential, commercial, and municipal divisions. With 107 customer reviews averaging 4.5 stars, the company has built a reputation for responding to plumbing emergencies around the clock, seven days a week. Their service area spans South Bend proper and extends to nearby communities including Mishawaka, Elkhart, and Granger, making them a regional resource for both homeowner emergencies and larger municipal infrastructure projects.
What distinguishes Bob Frame from independent handymen is their investment in specialized equipment and trained crews for complex pipe conditions. The company operates a Vac-Con unit and employs televising and locating technology to diagnose underground sewer lines without tearing up landscaping. For municipal clients, they provide hydro-excavating services using state-of-the-art equipment designed to minimize service disruption during utility repairs. Their commercial division handles drain cleaning and sewer line repair for businesses, while residential technicians perform everything from fixture installations to whole-home repiping. This breadth allows a single phone call to dispatch appropriately equipped technicians regardless of the job complexity.
Customer reviews reveal specific scenarios where technicians made the difference. When Christopher Kelch's mobile home park faced a completely blocked 10-inch sewer line Saturday afternoon, technicians Peyton and Freddy arrived with the right equipment to clear tree root intrusion and recommend preventative maintenance. Karen Rohen-Yoder experienced a gas leak late at night, and the company dispatched four plumbers who worked through the night to repair her gas lines. The dispatcher's warning about potential valve issues proved critical, demonstrating experience that comes from decades of serving this specific community's infrastructure. Technicians like Kyler have earned repeat calls by providing thorough quotes and explaining repair options clearly before beginning work.
Four reviewers specifically mention emergency same-day or weekend service, with technicians Peyton and Freddy earning direct praise for Saturday emergency response. Positive reviews cite diagnostic skill and thoroughness while the single 1-star review focuses on pricing concerns, noting $504 for a 29-minute repair with small brass pipe replacement.
