After multiple complaints/request to my landlord to have kitchen hot water pressure corrected ignored, I contacted H.Jack Langer via their website scheduling form. The last straw was the 45day mark and landlord inconsideration and lies about someone coming to fix the issue. Therefore H. Jack Langer was contacted,…

Outstanding Service! Highly Recommend! I can’t say enough good things about H. Jack Langer Plumbing! We recently had sewage backing up into our basement, and what started as a stressful situation quickly turned into a nightmare. We initially called another plumbing company that charged us for four hours of labor, only to tell us that our front yard needed to be dug up to fix the problem—at an estimated cost of $10,000! Thankfully, we decided to get a second opinion and called H. Jack Langer Plumbing. Best decision we could have made! Luigi and Dwayne arrived and were absolutely fantastic! They were friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and clearly knew what they were doing. Within about 30 minutes, they had our drain completely unclogged—without digging up our yard or costing us thousands of dollars! Not only did they fix the problem quickly, but they also cleaned everything up and took the time to explain what we could do to prevent similar issues in the future. They even shared helpful troubleshooting tips, which we really appreciated. It’s refreshing to find a company that values honesty, professionalism, and actually solving the customer’s problem rather than recommending unnecessary, expensive repairs. H. Jack Langer Plumbing has earned our trust and our business. They will absolutely be our FIRST call for any plumbing needs in the future! A huge thank-you to Luigi and Dwayne for turning a potentially $10,000 disaster into a simple fix. Five stars all the way!

Great company to have your plumbing needs done by. This was our third project with this company and have not been dissapointed at any point. Quick to come for an estimate, quick to schedule the project and the crew were top notch. This latest project turned out to have some issues due to the inspectors through no fault of JH Langer. They did what they had to do to get the job done and cleaned up every day. They came back a few days later to check for any issues. Very happy and will be contacting them for whatever my future plumbing needs are.
