Jonathan Wellman from Thompson and Groom is an excellent and extremely competent plumbing Technician. He spent time to fully conduct plumbing inspection related to my water heater issue and recommended action. Thanks Jonathan for your efforts🙏
Darrin was excellent. Timely, knowledgeable, and pleasant. Great service/great price
Jonathan came out for our yearly plumbing check and found a leak in the basement, checked with Thornton and Grooms and they had a repair team available. Great service
Both techs were very nice & efficient. They even went into the crawl space to check for any leaks. Great workers. Highly recommend Thornton & Groom.
They are my only caller for all my plumbing and A/C needs. Their work is immaculate. Everyone is super friendly. I highly recommend them for anything you need.
Jerry came out as a follow-up to a problem identified yesterday when T&G snaked a line blockage. He was thorough in assessing and explaining the situation. He'll have to come back tomorrow, as a special part is needed. We definitely want Jerry to be the one coming back to complete the job!
Great job. Very professional 👏 from start to completion
I recently had a whole home power humidifier installed on my furnace by Thornton & Grooms. If anybody who reads this wonders why there’s nothing but five stars from any review it’s because they’re well deserved. The technician by the name of John Torres installed my humidifier and did the best job anybody could ever…
Anyone asked will state that this is a higher cost plumbing & maintenance company, but remember that one gets what one pays for. T&G has quality employees performing quality work.

Thornton and Grooms is a company that I trust and I have…

He was on his way out, my heat quit…
I had an AC service check today. The tech, Da'vu, was great. Yesterday, I replaced two water heaters. Zak and Demetrius were great. In the recent past, Rodney has done plumbing. He was great.
