Ryan is the best. He showed up early which is always a plus when you’re waiting for a service call. As a woman who has absolutely no clue about plumbing it was so refreshing to have an honest plumber not try to up-sale me or do unnecessary repairs that I would have no idea were required or not. Such a friendly guy too. We definitely recommend them!

The technicians that came were very professional, came at the appointed time, were very courteous, worked diligently, and left my area spotless. I had a leak in the water line under my basement floor so it had to be jackhammered, found , repaired and then re-cemented. They did an excellent job and would highly recommend them.

We were immensely pleased with the excellent service Howard Plumbing provided when replacing our main sewer line. They got us right on the schedule, obtained the necessary permit, and completed the job quickly to meet our deadline of the closing on the sale of our home. Their solution was straightforward and precise. They did such a great job restoring our yard and basement floor after the excavation. We couldn't be happier.

We’ve used Howard Plumbing a few times and one was an expensive job. The shower drain pipe had to be accessed and because our house is on a slab the only way to access the pipe was to jackhammer the shower floor. I checked with some credible sources to confirm Howard’s estimate was fair which it was. I approved the estimate, Howard completed the job and charged me LESS than the estimate! That’s never happened to me with a plumber before. Howard Plumbing is an honest plumbing service with very competitive pricing!
It depends on the type of water heater, additional repairs to the water heater connections, the size and type of water heater, and accessibility. At Howard Plumbing we offer free estimates.
