Cody and Tim run a 5 star operation. They are genuine and transparent with their pricing. This is their business and they take pride in the service and work performed. Integrity is a rare quality these days. I will be recommending them heavily for anyone that needs septic, waterline or plumbing repairs. Thank you gentlemen!

Awesome experience. I found out on the weekend that my water heater was leaking. My neighbor recommended Tim with Hometown Plumbing and Septic. Called him up. He came out within a few hours and replaced my water heater. Did a great job. Price was fair. Highly recommend him.

Tim was a pleasure to work with. He provided a fair quote for a new water heater, was available for next day service, completed the work quickly, and left the work site clean. I will definitely use him again for my plumbing needs.
