Mr. Richardson is a hardworking guy. Very intelligent and professional. He helped me out on a July 4th weekend which was very kind. We will definitely recommend him to family and friends. We also found a plumber for good:) He also has a good sense of humor to be sweating it out all day on a holiday weekend:).

David has been my plumber for nearly 15 years. Whenever I need him, he is punctual, professional, efficient, and charges a very fair price. He is super down to earth and straight up with you. It's very obvious that he's a plumbing pro. I trusted him from the beginning and to this day I continue to completely trust him. He's also a great resource for other professionals in the area if you need some other kind of work done on your house. Seriously, if you're looking for a competent and fair professional plumber, David Richardson from Richardson Plumbing Company is your man.

It went well. I was pleased that David was professional and did not rush doing the job. He arrived when he said that he would, and called to say when he would be arriving. As a matter of fact, he took me up on helping him when I asked if I could help in any way. The upstairs lines needed to be opened or closed, so I did that. He explained everything he did and why he did it. He also noted other areas of plumbing and water heater repairs/replacements that will require attention. His rates are reasonable and competitive. He answered all my questions without hesitation. I recommend his services to anyone looking for an expert plumber who knows his business. I will continue to use his services for all my future plumbing needs.

My wife and I came home one weekend to find our bathroom floor have standing water and water clearly coming from the ceiling. In order to stop the flow of water, I isolated the hot water tank to see if that would stop the leak which it did. Clearly a leak in the hot water line somewhere. I used Richardson Plumbing based on internet and Angie's list reviews. When he came to the house he indicated that he couldn't find the leak and to call him back when it got worse. I don't know about most people, but I wasn't very keen on waiting for a water problem to get worse. Later that evening after he left, I discovered a pin hole leak in the line coming off of my hot water tank which I wrapped in self adhesive plumbing tape. I called Richardson Plumbing back. He came out and fixed the leak by cutting out the bad section and using Shark bites to splice in a new line all of which I could have done myself. So at the end of the day, he charged me over $250 for me to find the leak and for less than 30min of work with replacement parts that would have cost less than $15 at Lowe's. I would not recommend Richardson Plumbing at all.

David is a dedicated professional who has provided repair services multiple times for my family. He has always been prompt with assessing the damage, and fair in his estimate of repair price. He exceeded all of my expectations in the repair, has a great deal of pride in his work, and I will definitely be recommending him to anyone in the area who has plumbing or gas line installation.
Description of Work: Multiple services over the past few months. Had a broken supply main that he located, dug up, and repaired promptly at a fair price. Also had a leak from the underground connector going to my outside spigot.

Talk about being quick, professional, knowledgeable, and affordable - Richardson plumbing was "World Class"!!! I could't be happier with how things went today. His secretary was efficient and great on the phone and Dave did a very thorough job to make sure we didn't have this issue again. Couldn't say enough great things about Richardson Plumbing... A+!!! Wes and Peyton appreciate your hard work!
Description of Work: We called late Wednesday night for what we thought was a leaky or broken pipe in the wall behind our washing machine. Dave was on the scene first thing Thursday morning to calm everyone down, make sure we didn't have leaks, and help us find the cause to our downstairs den being flooded, which ruined our new vinyl flooring. A backed up drain pipe from the washer was the culprit, every time we did a load of laundry it would overflow and run down the wall and under the floor.

Called and Dave fit me in between some calls he had that day. Notified me when he was on his way and approximately how long that would take. Assessed the situation quickly and provided only the service I required to fix the problem. He covered everything he was working on to keep his space very clean. Very nice and friendly. I would definitely use again and have recommended him to friends.

My hot water heater located in the attic burst a valve at 4:30 am Sunday morning -- water coming through the ceiling. I called David Richardson, We had hot water back working before noon of that same day!!! Dave Richardson has integrity and is a true professional -- highly reliable and responsive. He diagnosed the real problem and didn't try to up-sell anything. He explained everything he was doing and why. A great guy, a real pro!

It went very well. Mr. Richardson is always prompt and professional. He also did a great job of replacing my hot water heater a few years ago. He explained what he was doing at every step of the way. He fixed the shower in one of my bathrooms that had been dripping for several years. I had a sink hole in my front yard near the city sewer connection. At my request, he dug it up and after running water through it, determined it was not leaking. The main thing I like about Mr. Richardson is that it is easy to get in touch with him and he shows up when he says he is going to show up.

The repair was made timely and professionally. The price and quality of the product delivered was excellent. David took care of everything including City inspection. In addition, he followed up to ensure everything was working properly. Service should be define by the manner in which Richardson Plumbing performed this service
