For some reason this typical DIY toilet tank assembly replacement did not go so well and I could not get the tank to stop leaking. H&S plumbing was able to get everything in working order within a short period of time. It was expensive considering how inexpensive the parts are and that typically homeowners can make this repair on their own -however, since I was unable to get the tank to stop leaking, I was thankful for the expertise of the H&S Technician and I was willing to pay the price. H&S Plumbing is reliable, professional, and most of all they have been honest.

The next instance was within this past year when our bathtub had leaked down into our living room ceiling. Again H & S came out and found it was a much simpler repair than it had looked to us. This repair too has held up. We also had them go around our house and stop the dripping faucets in all the sinks and showers. The entire repair, of tub and sinks and shower was @ $300.
Description of Work: The first time we used H & S Plumbing was a few years ago on a Saturday when a pipe in our basement had sprung a leak. Not only did they come out that day and do the repair, but their estimate and their charge was about HALF the price of the other local plumbers I called. The repair (soddering) has held and it's been over 3 years.

The technician arrived right at the scheduled time and was very professional. He explained everything that he was doing, showed me each part that was being replaced to show the damage. This is the third time I have used H&S Plumbing and have always been completely satisfied.
Description of Work: I had several plumbing items.....nothing complex. Replace toilet assembly, replace shower part and check for leak near toilet.

It went extremely well. From beginning to end was less than 15-minutes. The plummer said he did not have to use a torch to facilitate the repair and that the valve was installed such that it made it easy to replace therefore the cost was at the low end of the estimate. I was told that the life expectancy of the old valve was about right. I told him I feared flooding as when the first valve failed ten years earlier. He told me the original developer installed valve was probably made of plastic which caused the flooding. He assured me the valve that was being replaced and the replacement valve would not leak if the internal diaphragm failed. He explained to me what had made the thumping sound, and offered to give me the old valve if I so desired. He was very reassuring regarding the sound I heard and what could be expected if the valve were to fail.
Description of Work: I had a thumping noise in the water pipes.The noise had gotten progressively worst over 2-weeks. When I called for service they told me they would not be able to do the work that day, but would be able to do it on Monday morning. I asked if based on my description would it be safe to continue to use the water in the house until they could get here. I was told it sounded like a faulty pressure relief valve and it should be okay until they arrived. They provide me with an estimate cost range. The plumber arrived and confirmed the valve needed to be replaced. He went out to the truck to get the replacement valve and the tools to replace the valve. He cut off the main water supply and drained water into a bucket. He removed the valve, dressed the pipes, and installed the new valve. He checked his work then turned on the main water back on. He waited for the system to pressurize again and then checked for leaks. He cleaned up the area. He prepared the invoice. I wrote him check, and he left.

They are hard to get. I have been using them for 15 years. If you have an emergency you can't call them. All my friends use them and we all think their prices are very good. I would recommend them understanding that if it is an emergency, no. If it is something planned, yes. I will absolutely continue to use them.

They have done things like installing the toilet for us which was the most expensive thing they did. They also installed a sewage disposal and one good thing they did was they told us it would be less expensive for us to go out to a particular provider and they gave us the steps we should follow and they installed it. They could have told us that they would only install what they could get and I thought that that was a really good part of the experience. I think they are very professional. One time we had a problem with our water pressure valve and that is one of the things where we got to shut the water off in the house or we are going to have a flood in the basement. Their schedule was booked when we called them but what they did do was they found us someone else to do the work and again I thought that that was very helpful. We would use them again in the future; in fact, we are about to use them within the next week or two.
Description of Work: We have used H & S Plumbing on a few occasions.

Very well run company. Quite friendly and helpful. Let me go buy a new toilet to save some money after first visit and then returned later in the day to complete the install. Waited to be paid until all work was done after second visit. The way a service company should be run!!

H&S Plumbing has been our plumber of choice for over 10 years. We have found their personnel to be knowledgeable, professional and punctual - which has led us to be repeat customers.
Description of Work: We have used their services for a variety of needs - from drain cleaning, faucet replacement and garbage disposal installation. Over the last year they have helped us find and replace leaking pipes (our townhome was built in the 70s), replace burst outdoor fixtures and reseat and reseal bathroom fixtures.

We had purchased both faucets in advance from other suppliers. We asked H&S to modify the new high-arc kitchen faucet so it would be 3 inches shorter, and they did a very neat job cutting a cylindrical section of the faucet. They did a careful job installing both faucets and the two drain pipes, checked thoroughly for leaks, and identified and corrected a leak from the garbage disposal.
Description of Work: H&S installed a new kitchen faucet and a new bath faucet. They also replaced the leaking curved drain pipes under two sinks. We've used H&S many times. They have the correct replacement parts for old toilets.

I love them. They are very good. That is who I use when my other plumber is not available. They are a little less expensive than my other plumber. They are excellent plumbers. I have never had any problems with them. Many years ago in the 90?s we had a really bad ice storm here and everybody?s basements flooded. That?s when our sump pump broke. It was an emergency and our other plumber couldn?t come because everybody was calling them. So they recommended H & S Plumbing and they came out and saved us. So, I was very lucky. They also recommended a backup sump pump that is not battery driven, but it is water pressure driven. I really liked that and I never have to worry about changing the batteries. I always use them for that. I called them first actually for sump pumps and they said they don?t work with sump pumps, but my other plumber does. Sometimes when I need plumbing, I call H & S Plumbing first because they are less pricey than my other plumber. Sump pumps are not cheap and so it seemed like a lot to me at that time between the sump pump and the hourly charge. So it was mostly the sump pump. The price is not that much below my other plumber and they are also more available than my other plumber because my other plumber is in much demand. Sometimes it is worth paying extra if you know that you can get a good job done. I have only had H & S Plumbing out twice. I would use their services again if I can?t get my other plumber because they recommended them and I don?t think they would recommend someone they didn?t think would do a good job for their long term customer.
Description of Work: I use the services of H & S Plumbing for my plumbing needs. They installed a new sump pump for me and I call them when I have to have the sump pump replaced. They replaced my sump pump about four or five years ago.

Once again, H&S saves the day. Our disposal stopped working completely, and H&S worked me through a possible fix with a manual reset rather than just using the reset button. I used an Allen wrench and poof! it worked. They didn't have to do that - they could have charged for a service call. They're terrific.

The cost was $240 + parts for a total of $272. He was here for a total of 1 hour or possibly 1 hour and 15 minutes, tops, although when I called the office Sharon said that he had down that he was here for 1 1/2 hours. Wouldn't be that big of a deal except they charge $35 for every 15 minutes of work. Seems exteremely high for the work performed. I believe that the time he took looking at the other problem that he couldn't fix was where my money went with no results. I explained this all to Sharon and she told me to go look at Checkbook because their prices were indeed reasonable. Not great customer service if you ask me. On top of this, he was late. They gave me a 10:00-1:00 window. I spoke to the owner of the company in the morning and asked if the tech would be here on the earlier side or later side and the owner responded that he'd be here earlier. He showed at 1:30.
Description of Work: The technician replaced a leaky hose bib and faucet. He also took a look at a pipe that needs to be snaked, but didn't have the tools and did not perform the work.

H&S has done numerous smaller jobs for me in the past and I have always been satisfied. I asked for a quote for the work and I was quoted $1,350 for the whole job. I checked around with other plumbers and discovered that: 1) very few plumbers have good reputations, and 2) the going rate for a new hot water heater is $1,500. I had to wait 3 business days for the installation, but I still had hot water even though a slow leak caused me to mop up water twice a day before the repair was started. (There was no drip pan under the old heater) H&S called at 8 a.m. on the promised day, and said that the plumber could come over immediately. The plumber showed up 20 minutes later and started disconnecting the old hot water heater. He called the office and requested new tarps to protect my white carpeting. A little later, the electrician came over with the new hot water heater (and new tarps) and the two installed the new heater and removed the old heater. They also installed a drip pan that I purchased separately at Home Depot. The entire job was completed by 11 a.m. and my carpeting survived unharmed. The guys from H&S were friendly, efficient, considerate and articulate. What more can you ask for?
Description of Work: Replaced my ancient 66-gallon electric hot water heater with a new 80 gallon electric hot water heater. Included plumbing and electrical work, and removal of the old heater.

This was a very positive experience from the initial contact with the office to make the appointment to the work done by the plumber, Ronnie, who appeared within the time period specified, did a neat and professional installation of the valves, finished earlier than I would have expected, and left the area spotless when he left.

They're terrific. A real human answers the phone and commiserates with you. They tell you what their schedule is and how they will fit you in. They make you feel like you're the most important customer they have. They send professional, patient, diligent plumbers. The person they sent to our house dug and dug and dug to get that penny out - and he did. He could have just as easily insisted we needed a new disposal. But he didn't. He unstuck the dishwasher line, kept everything clean, and it was a bargain at $100 (although that was one expensive penny!).
Description of Work: Our daughter dropped a penny into the disposal by mistake, and it locked up the disposal as well as our dishwasher line. We made several attempts to fix the problem but didn't want to try to get the penny out of the disposal, so it all remained stuck. I called H&S, who we have used for almost 20 years in another home. This was their first visit to this location.

They are great. Whenever I have called them, they have been responsive. It may take a couple of days. They are very reliable and their prices have seemed really competitive. They will allow you to buy your own parts, instead of them charging you for the parts. They are willing to explain how to do things, like change the thing in the toilet. I will certainly continue to use them in the future.
