What recent reviews say

Dave handles emergency plumbing, water heaters, leaks, furnace work, and water damage. One long-term customer praises his work on a 1920s condo and home over two decades; another calls him immediately for business and residential needs, citing fast response and correct first-time fixes. Limited review evidence, but consistent praise for skill and reliability.

Plow and Property Projects LLC

5.0(66)✓ Google-verifiedPublishes prices

Plow and Property Projects responds to emergencies fast and handles water damage, sewer backups, and structural damage with genuine professionalism. Staff explain what happened, show you the before-and-after, and focus on preventing repeat calls rather than chasing follow-up work. Wesley and Charles lead a team that finishes ahead of schedule, cleans up thoroughly, and keeps customers updated daily. The one complaint centers on their roof snow removal service, where the 4-hour minimum ($3,600) often exceeds actual job time, and early morning arrivals sometimes slip past 11am.

Advance Plumbing & Heating, Inc.

4.8(706)✓ Google-verifiedPublishes prices

Advance Plumbing delivers fast, accurate diagnosis on everything from old-house leaks to water heater sediment flushing. Named technicians (Greg, Donovan, Dylan, Dwight, Mike, Toby) consistently earn praise for methodical work, clean-up, and clear explanations. Office staff Amy is noted for cheerful phone manner. A 16-year customer and dozens of recent reviews attest to fair prices and no pressure to upsell, though drain cleaning rates draw occasional comment. Same-day scheduling can be tight for minor work when multiple issues are presented. They hold BBB accreditation since 2005, state they have operated since 1956, and serve eight towns from Avon to East Hartford. Emergency response is consistently noted as prompt.
