"Our plumbing job was completed in two days with a high degree of professionalism and skill. Mr. Steward is a master plumber who diagnosed our problems and knew exactly what to do to solve them. Wee will use him again for our plumbing repairs."
"Don and crew were great! We lost water and they came out and confirmed it was a break in the wiring to the pump. They explained why we experience this issue and advised how they would fix it as well as additional service we will need to prevent any further disruptions. They were very friendly, knowledgeable and gave us a great price. We will definitely use them again for all plumbing issues."
"Hired for pump out and sand-mound septic inspection. John and Ryan performed the inspection and video work, but I didn't get the fellow's name who pumped the tank. All were friendly and knowledgeable (PSMA certified). Had an issue with appointment since an emergency popped up that took priority over our scheduled appointment (which, while unfortunate, is understandable) so we had to be rescheduled, but we were made aware before hand, and they were right on time for the rescheduled appointment. Answered mine & hubby's questions. Very reasonable rates. Absolutely would hire them again and recommend them."

"This was the second time we used H L Bowman for our plumbing needs and we have been impressed both times. Their plumbers are prompt, courteous, and friendly, in addition to being great at their craft. For this visit, I had a leak under a kitchen sink and did not realize that I needed to have the entire faucet replaced. The plumber recommended the closest plumbing supply store and waited while I selected the one I wanted. He efficiently did the replacement. Very happy with H L Bowman and would highly recommend them."
"Dave and Rick were very professional and completed the work on schedule. One of the hoses under the sink was defective and Dave came out to fix it right away. Very pleased to work with them."
"Yes, David arrived promptly and was efficient. He probed and worked until he found the cause of the drain blockage, resolved the issue, and explained the issue in a thorough and understandable manner! It's obvious that David takes his job, seriously. He is personable professional and a downright good person. You cannot go wrong employing David to resolve your plumbing issues."

"The employees that arrived to do the work were good workers. They were either unaware of the contracted work or mislead. They were not going to install the J Channel per the service agreement, and they had planned to backfill the ditch with the earth they had removed. The contract called for the ditch to be filled to surface with gravel. The installers called the office and explained that a J Channel was agreed on and someone from the office delivered it to satisfy my request. They were going to install the J Channel in segments vs one solid piece across the length of the ditch. I told them the segment seems would allow the water to get thru the J Channel and weep thru our foundation once more. They did the work as I requested but had I not been there or had I been a customer that did not know any better, this job would not have been done correctly or as agreed upon in the contract."
To check the water pressure in your house, you’ll need to use a water pressure gauge, which you can purchase at your local hardware store. Locate your outside water spigot and attach the gauge (following the manufacturer’s instructions). Normal home water pressure is between 40 and 80 PSI.
While some building codes allow galvanized pipe for natural gas, it shouldn’t be used for propane. Propane can cause the pipe to wear down, leading to dangerous leaks. Instead of galvanized piping for propane, you should consider coated copper, black iron, or corrugated stainless steel tubing (CSST). For underground propane line installation, you can use polyethylene (PE).
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a leaky faucet that’s dripping at a rate of one drip per second can waste more than 3,000 gallons of water per year. This is one reason why it’s important to fix a leaky faucet sooner rather than later.
There are warning signs that your copper pipes may be failing. These include discolored water, decreased water pressure, visible cracks and leaks, built-up green rust, and corrosion. If you know the copper pipes are reaching the end of their life span, consider having them replaced or at least having a professional assess your plumbing system.
To create a siphon break and remove any chance of dirty sink water or water that backs up into the sink from getting into your dishwasher, your dishwasher drain hose needs to have a high loop or an air gap device as part of its installation. All building codes require at least a high loop. In many places, it’s necessary to install an air gap device to meet the code.
