Description of Work: We have used Ballard Plumbing for several years now. This winter we had 2 water pipes that burst. Danny came after hours and stopped the leak, returned the next day to repair the pipes. Danny is always professional, courteous, and respectful of one's property. Anything that is spilled/burst he always cleans up after himself. ( we tried other plumbers before we found Ballard. From the time they got out of their truck somehow they would tract mud, wipe grease everywhere--even in area they were not working) Danny' s prices are fair,reasonable. He has fixed kitchen sinks, both tubs, put in lines, tak

Ballard plumbing was responsive to my phone call and honest about not being able to promptly provide the requested services. I was even given a reference who could do it on my timeline.
Description of Work: I called to get a quote for a Gas pressure test on a house that had been vacant for over a year Ballard quoted me 225 cheapest in town but would not be able to get to it until late the following week. I asked if he knew anyone who could get to it sooner he referred me to Ron's Express plumbing.

Description of Work: According to tenant (witness) they did nothing. Was supposed to provide estimate for repairs. Later sent invoice trying to collect for work performed. Witnesses said was done. When confronted Ballard was very unprofessional. Not a trustworthy contractor.

Our hot water heater is in the garage and we noticed the wooden platform it was standing on had severe water damage. There was minimal water on the platform top, but we could tell the leak had been continual for quite some time. The water heater legs were sinking into the platform and we were fearful the platform would collapse and the water heater would fall over and disconnect the attached gas line. I called Ballard Plumbing on Monday, 6/4, and they came out that afternoon to access the problem. Since the water heater was installed 7 years ago, there were several upgrades needed to bring it up to code. Ballard gave us several options, but the safest was to replace the water heater professionally and bring it up to code. I purchased the hot water heater, metal stand and pan and Ballard was to install and upgrade. Ballard provided an estimate to install and completely upgrade the water heater, including an inspection from Cabot Code Enforcement. Once the old tank and platform was removed, we saw where the water heater was split in the back and the platform was soaked all the way through and came apart with no effort. Ballard was prompt, very professional and explained everything he had done. We will use him for future plumbing services.
Description of Work: Ballard Plumbing replaced our leaking hot water heater, installed new metal stand and brought all connections up to code.

The guy from Ballard Plumbing was honest and professional. He arrived within two days of being called. He quickly diagnosed our problem, and determined it was not an plumbing problem, but a leaking air conditioner. He charged us only for the expense of the gas he used driving out to our house. We would definitely call him again if we ever have plumbing related problems in the future.
Description of Work: We suspected an underfloor plumbing leak, with about four feet of soaked carpet down our hall. We needed someone to look at it and give us an estimate of the problem.

I was very pleased with the way things had went with the piping. Plumbing is a very tough job and someone has to do it. I feel that this company got it done the way it should have been. They did not fuss one bit about any of the work that they did. Everything is fine and I am very pleased.
Description of Work: Ballard Plumbing installed new piping underneath of my home.

I feel that Ballard did a sensible job and I also feel that they are remarkably cheap. I am very impressed with their work that I had them come back to do some drain cleaning when my other plumber was not available. I will say that they did an A-1 job and I was pleased that they provided me with an immediate response when I needed them. When they were running this line, they were very careful not to destroy the tile so they actually impressed me by cutting through a closet and not causing any damage at all. I was really impressed with their know how ".
Description of Work: Ballard Plumbing ran a pipe line through some tile in the bathroom.
