What recent reviews say

Julian at Pipe Doctor earns consistent five-star praise for emergency water heater and plumbing repairs across the Avon and Simsbury area.

  • responsive and quick to schedule emergency calls
  • honest pricing and no upselling
  • thorough diagnosis and explanation
  • professional demeanor and skilled work
Watch-outs
  • charges for in-home estimates on renovation bids

  • Thorough diagnosis that often uncovers hidden issues
  • CT Master Plumber with 20+ years' track record

Worth knowing

  • Replaces full water heater systems same-day on emergency calls
  • Diagnoses and repairs hidden plumbing issues (e.g., decades of banging basement pipes)

Avon Plumbing & Heating

Avon Plumbing earns consistent praise for bathroom and kitchen design work, especially through designer Stacy Moore who guides customers through complex multi-fixture projects. Technicians arrive on schedule, solve problems creatively (saving customers thousands on repairs), and clean up daily. Two serious complaints: charging customers for technician drive time between jobs and unclear billing practices. A few instances of poor phone manners and slow parts ordering have also frustrated customers, though most report fair prices and professional workmanship overall.
