Local Plumbing has come through for me once again. Scheduling an appointment was easy, and Rick arrived on time. He quickly identified and resolved our issue. Additionally, he provided guidance on how I can perform maintenance in the future to help prevent a recurrence. All the staff at Local Plumbing are courteous, friendly, and highly skilled at their jobs.
I've had another excellent experience with Local Plumbing today! Noah Langdon replaced my bathroom sink faucet with a new one provided by Moen under my warranty. As I've found with all of Local Plumbing's technicians, Noah was courteous and a great communicator. He informed me about the expected duration of the task, and he completed the work within that timeframe, delivering an excellent job.
I previously sought plumbing repair from a different company for a water heater issue, but they didn't even attempt to identify the problem and instead tried to convince me to replace the entire unit at an exorbitant cost. Having used Local Plumbing before, I contacted them before considering a replacement, and Rick was able to diagnose the issue (despite the heater's age) and fix it at a very reasonable price. I will confidently continue to rely on Local Plumbing for my plumbing needs in Marin, knowing they won't try to upsell unnecessary services.
I don't typically write reviews, but I was incredibly impressed with the work provided by Rick from Local Plumbing. We had a leak in one of our water pipes, and Rick conducted a thorough investigation to diagnose the problem and then fixed it. I was struck by his professionalism and personable nature. I would definitely recommend using Local Plumbing and will not hesitate to call them again if any issues arise.
Setting up an appointment with Local Plumbing was easy, and they were able to send someone the next morning when our kitchen sink became clogged, after our failed attempts to resolve it the previous evening. I'm grateful that Noah Langdon was the one who handled the job. He was highly professional, knowledgeable, and conscientious throughout the entire process. He also provided great insights and solutions for our older home. My husband and I will certainly use Local Plumbing again in the future, both for maintenance and for any major projects.
