“Robert went out of his way to make sure I had hot water. After working with the manufacturer support line to diagnose the problem, he found out that my water heater was not repairable but it could be replaced under warranty. He then went to Home Depot himself (which was after business hours at this point), got a new one, and installed it for me, all within hours of my initial call. Excellent job by Robert and Superior Plumbing & Drain.”

“Robert was so helpful and honest. He came out the same day, he found no problem with our system. I’m so thankful for his honesty as this is not the case with most. I will call him again”

“Brandon replaced an outside faucet and installed new ball valves on main line entering the house. He was on time , courteous and did a great job. Michelle from their office called to verify times and what service to be provided. She was also very friendly and professional. Thanks guys for doing a good job. I will use them again for my next project.”

“My water heater died on Saturday night. I called Superior Monday morning at 8 am. Someone was at my house by 8:30 am. Unfortunately, my 12 year old water heater could not be repaired. They had a new one installed by noon that day. My technician was Brandon. He was great. He had a great personality and seemed genuinely happy to be helping me. If I ever need a plumbing service again I will not call anyone else except Superior Plumbing.”

“I used Superior Plumbing again today. 2 years ago I had a water main break under the driveway and they fixed it in hours. Today, a shower faucet cartridge leaking like crazy and replacement of toilet tank hardware on 3 toilets. In an hour and a half? These guys are pros. I will never use any other plumber. Robert is a master plumber and his team is amazing. Well done.”
