Richard arrived shortly before his estimated time and was very courteous. I had a water leak in my basement and I wasn't sure where it was coming from. Richard quickly identified it as coming from the outside water faucet. He asked if I had left the hose attached to it all winter - yes I had! He cautioned not to do that as the water inside the hose caused this to crack during cold weather. Good to know! He went to the hardware store and purchased the new equipment needed to fix it. He also fixed a drippy kitchen faucet for me and looked at my water heater, after I asked him to, and advised that it looked fine and when I would know if it was getting old (rusty joints / top / bottom or small water leaks). Since it is 13 years old I'll wait a few more years to replace it - he said they are usually good for 15 years, depending on conditions He also advised me to put fans in the basement to help dry it out - I added a dehumidifier also. I'd recommend this business and plan on asking them back then next time I need a plumber!

Punctual, clean, organized, very helpful with advising on choice of replacement faucets and toilet, began work mid-morning and completed by early afternoon; would recommend to anyone who wants a competent and reliable small contractor rather than a "big box" plumbing service.
Response from Richard T. Fowler & Daughter Plumbing
"Thank you so much for your kind words Mr. [Member name removed] We strive to do the best job possible at ta reasonable rate. Being licensed master plumbers, insured and bonded, I think we can offer more than the 'technicians' at many of the 'big boxes' who work mainly on commission."

Our episode started back on November 25, 2013 when drains started backing up in our home, as well as our crawlspace vapor barrier having sewer water back up on top of it. Since Mr. Fowler had done some work for our church and we had good results there we decided to give him a call. He and his daughter arrived a couple of days later to inspect our problem. On Sunday December 1, 2013 he called with an estimate for two options; first one would be just to add an exterior clean-out access for $600, the second option would be to install a whole new pvc line to replace the original clay tiles for $3700.00. We called him back the next day after making out decision to go with the big job.
Due to the bad winter weather starting back in December 2013 there were a couple of delays. The sewer back-up in the crawlspace was getting much worse so he came out on December 19th to at least fix the leaking concrete cap between the tile and pvc at the base of the house foundation. He also cleared the tree root problem so that the sewage would once again flow properly. With the continued bad weather and some equipment failure on Mr. Fowler's part, the big dig in our back yard did not take place until January 13, 2014. At that time Mr. Fowler along with his daughter, son and uncle arrived with their backhoe and a tractor to dig out the old tile and replace with the new pvc line as well as an outdoor clean-out access point. The job was completed within one day.
Having a job like this done does tear up your yard. Be prepared to follow up with some heavy duty yard work, or as in our case hire a professional landscaper to come out to complete the job as we did when springtime rolled around.

"The winter of 2013-2014 was certainly a challenge on outdoor equipment and work! We were happy we could keep the drains working for you until the weather broke somewhat. You are correct that the yard will need elbow grease after a sewer replacement! Most companies who just pile the dirt up and tell you to "wait for it to settle". we compress the dirt as it is backfilled so that youe yard is back to it's glory as soon as possible."

Replaced a water heater & took away the old. A kitchen faucet also needed replacing, along with a "fill valve" on a commode. I've used Fowler Plumbing for several years now, & believe their prices are competitive. More importantly perhaps, is that they care about their customers. It's a Family business, so obviously reputation is @ stake.
Response from Richard T. Fowler & Daughter Plumbing
"Our reputation is valuable to us [member name removed]. You won't find employees here...we won't even use relatives who aren't licensed plumbers! I'm glad we were able to ptovide you good service at a reasonale cost. When choosing a professional, everyone should ask to see their plumbing license. Holding a contractor's license or being a 'technician' doesn't qualify them to do plumbing work in your home. If you hire someone who turns out NOT to be licensed, the State says you are not even required to pay them!"

Told the whole story above.
Response from Richard T. Fowler & Daughter Plumbing
"Thank you for your review (deleted member name). I'm sorry that it took a while for me to make it to your parents' home. Even though it was later than we both would have liked, a promise is a promise -so there was no overtime charge for the trip after 7 pm. Let me know if there is anything else we can dd for you!

Although I had to leave a message when I called, Fowler Plumbing returned my call in a timely manner. Ms. Fowler answered my questions about the selection of a toilet for our guest bathroom. She arrived on time and was very neat in removing the old toilet and installing the new one. We are pleased with Folwer & Daughter Plumbing!
Response from Richard T. Fowler & Daughter Plumbing
"Thank you [member name removed]. I trust you are enjoying your new modern toilet!. I hope it wasn't too much of an inconvenience waiting for us to return your call. We can't always answer while working, but try to call back as soon as possible. Not having an answering service saves money for our customers and allows us more interaction with our clients."
