"John and Joe from Plumbing Problem Solvers are absolutely amazing! They arrived right on time, gave me a very fair bundle price to replace 5 failed valves, and did fantastic work. They are incredibly honest, professional, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. I highly recommend them!"

Great group of guys with friendly dispositions. They provided a few options for the work and were clear about their recommendations and pricing. Because I was located nearby, they were able to squeeze in a morning appointment. Looking forward to working with them in the future.

Wonderful service from top to bottom! Had a garbage disposal unit clogged and leaking and within the same day it was cleared up and fixed. Reasonable prices said up front, kind and good workers, quick and easy - couldn’t ask for more. Hopefully I never have plumbing issues again hahah but if I do, I’ll be giving them a call

John and Joe came on short notice to repair a leaking water valve at the point where it enters the house. To find the external water shutoff (which had become covered in grass) they ended up needing to buy a metal detector. We really appreciated the extra effort. They were responsive to our call, friendly,…

I needed to replace my old leaky outdoor water pipes and spigot, and John installed a new frost-free hose bibb including relocating the water supply as well as closing off the old connections inside and out. The work is very professional, was done in a timely manner, and was at a fair and reasonable price. Extremely…

We had a leaking radiator due to a defective valve. It was a Sunday and we called several places. Plumbing problem solvers were the only company to assure us same day service and give us several updates on when they would arrive. They stopped the leak within 20 minutes and came back to provide much needed service…

I can't say enough good things about John and his team! He came with his two-man crew, and fixed the plumbing issues I already knew about. But what really stood out was that they took the time to do a thorough check of everything — and found additional problems that could have turned into a real disaster if left…

Plumbing problem solvers really came through for an emergency leak in the house. They did a great job identifying the leak, then fixing and replacing the leaking pipe. They gave well thought out explanations for their work, were very patient with questions, were extremely respectful and clean, and responsive. Overall highly recommend them!
