Third time I’ve used Pro the Distance Plumbing. Started out at our old house with a shot water Heater replacement, then some toilet replacements and new faucets at our rental property, to this time a complete water line replacement on a water line that was over 45 years old. All three times they have been super quick to respond, extremely friendly and completely professional. And their prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend them if you have any plumbing issues.

I was pleased with the work. I needed the exterior water line replaced. The work was done efficiently and quickly. My house water was shut off for only a reasonably short time. I am particularly pleased that Pro the Distance Plumbing provided a Lifetime Warranty for this project. I definitely recommend Pro the Distance to anyone needing professional plumbing services. — I do wish they offered a Senior discount. The costs of unexpected plumbing work are high, and difficult for us on fixed incomes.

Ms. Aslin, thank you for your feedback and 5 star review! We value our Rogers neighbors and hope you enjoy your warranty. I will discuss adding senior discounts with our owner. We greatly appreciate your continued support of our small business.
