This was the second time I needed to call and once again got Matt as my plumber. Same as last call everything was great and managed to quickly fix up a leaking toilet while explaining everything along the way. Great job again by Matt.

Owen was fantastic! Showed up on time, listened to my ridiculous questions (answered them very professionally). Knew how to fix a 30+ year old faucet that is no longer on the market. Very knowledgeable and took his time to complete the job, even in the rain! 10/10 recommend Owen!

I used John The Plumber to install a sump pump and back flow valve and to replace my underground piping. It was a big job and Alex made sure all was done well and in a timely manner. The entire crew consisting of Reza, Riley, Cameron, Miguel and Dillon was efficient, professional and courteous and went above and beyond. Highly recommend!
