"I am very satisfied with this company. Their customer service and responsiveness is top notch. What I appreciated the most is while other plumbers had objections about my project, the guys from InstaPlumbing were solution oriented. They definitely knew what to do! Also, the price they quoted me was very fair compared to other price quotes received from other plumbers (the ones with objections)."
"Everything went fine, Chris was on time and was very professional. It is very w pensive to Howe a plumber, but I feel he did a great job at a fair price."
"Let's be honest: plumbing isn't cheap. But, you really shouldn't want to cheap out on your plumber, considering how important plumbing is to your convenience and comfort, not to mention your health and well-being. We've used Matt and his crew twice: once to convert a closet into a two-piece powder room and once to fix a kitchen drain that was leaking in the wall and dripping into the basement. It smelled awful. Regardless of the size of the jobs Matt and his crew have tackled for us, they've done the work promptly, correctly, and at a reasonable price. He's a good guy, too -- friendly, courteous, responsive and makes sure his crew members model that same behavior. You can trust Matt to do what he says he'll do."
"I had a great experience with Mr. Plunger Plumbing. They were professional, reliable, and did an excellent job replacing my water heater. They explained everything clearly, showed up when they said they would, and made sure the job was done right. I’m very happy with the work and would absolutely recommend them to anyone who needs a good, trustworthy plumber."
"I couldn’t be happier with the service I received from Paul! From start to finish, he was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and professional. He took the time to explain things clearly, was kind and respectful, and his pricing was very fair and reasonable. It’s not always easy to find someone you can truly trust, but I would absolutely hire him again—and again! I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, honest, and skilled plumber."
"No one around knows how to find a plumber. I stumbled across Ray Page on homeadvisor so now I have a plumber and will happily recommend them to my friends."
"Had a very positive experience working with Aaron. My sewer line backed up and he replaced it swiftly and affordably. Excellent communication and responsiveness, professional work all around. Highly recommend."
"I had a great experience with United Plumbers! The team was friendly, professional, and reliable from start to finish. They were very knowledgeable, took the time to make sure everything was done right, and provided excellent customer service. I would definitely recommend United Plumbers to anyone looking for a trustworthy plumbing company!"
"I will keep this review simple but thorough. 1 1/2 months before hiring ADB I had a sewage backup in my basement. 11p put the request in. 11:05p another company called. Because of the urgency with two kids, they got the job. Bad idea (but that isn't for here). Fastforward 1 1/2 months later, the same issue was back and Home Advisor recommended a few high quality companies with great reviews. I went with ADB and what a smart move (finally). Some services charge for clearing of the pipe and then another charge for a camera. ADB does not and I think that makes a big difference. All I can say is that I appreciate the professionalism of this company, the tech was funny and laughing with me through a tough situation, and was also clearly knowledgable and guiding. I really thought it was a great experience and would recommend ADB Construction for anything you need. Trust them. You not only get what you pay for here but you also get a tremendous backing and support after, if you need it. This is a REAL professional company."
You must authorize all permit applications before starting plumbing work. Homeowners also make critical decisions regarding fixture placement, water heater locations, and system layouts. If your Cromwell property relies on a private well or septic system, you must determine testing schedules and capacity upgrades. You also hold responsibility for deciding how to handle lead service line replacements if you own an older CT home.
Helpful?
Cromwell experiences cold winters and deep freeze-thaw cycles that cause burst pipes in unheated spaces. You must bury exterior plumbing lines below the 48-inch CT frost line to prevent severe damage. Additionally, homes near the river face high water tables and require specialized basement drainage systems. Schedule seasonal maintenance, like irrigation winterization, before the first hard freeze in November to protect your home.
Helpful?
The best materials for plumbing depend on your water source and state building codes. Cromwell homes on private wells face acidic water conditions, requiring corrosion-resistant supply lines. Municipal water carries moderate hardness, which also dictates specific pipe selections. For exterior work, install durable underground pipes below the 48-inch CT frost line to prevent freezing. A licensed contractor will select code-approved materials suited for your property.
Helpful?
Keep children and pets away from open trenches, exposed pipes, and chemical treatments during plumbing renovations. To prevent scalding, ask your licensed professional to install thermostatic mixing valves and set your water heater to 120 degrees. If you live in an older Cromwell home, test your CT water supply for lead. Always flush newly connected lines and secure a final inspection certificate to guarantee household safety.
Helpful?
When planning plumbing projects, homeowners frequently overlook inspection scheduling delays and local easements near the Connecticut River. You must also identify your specific water source, as homes use municipal water or private wells. Older Cromwell properties built before 1986 have lead service lines requiring special attention. Always hire a licensed professional to manage permits and ensure your system meets all local regulations.
