This business was recommended to me by a colleague. I called and left messages, but did not receive any acknowledgement. Busy or not, I would think it would be just common courtesy to respond to a potential customer.

Great service! Super personable and professional! We had a washing machine shutoff valve failure which required us to turn off the water to the whole house. I sent a picture and he was here in 2 hours. He grabbed the right part on the way and fixed it in a snap - without cutting into any drywall. For the record, ASI said they'd need to cut out significant pieces of drywall and quoted me a multiple of what Tom Plumb charged.

A gray Tom Thumb van just raced past me and my dog on my Leucadia residential street at what had to be 40+MPH. When I raised the palm of my hand and signaled to slow down I was greeted with a raised finger as the driver accelerated even more. There are no sidewalks but there are a lot of walkers, runners, parents with strollers, etc. There's a lot of plumbers to choose from who do great work. I will never use Tom Thumb and I will tell everyone of my experience. Not all experiences are work related but they all factor into making decisions on who to hire.

Had a slow leak in our freshwater plumbing that was inflating our water bill that I had tried to self diagnose and treat for several weeks. Called Tom and within 1h of arriving he had identified two leaky toilet fill valves and replaced our main shutoff valve that was broken as well. We'll definitely be using Tom for all of our freshwater plumbing needs going forward and have recommended him to many friends and colleagues.

I tried to contact Tom Plumb Plumbing about my plumbing issue. I left a voicemail and text 48 hrs ago, and still have not heard from them. They may be out of business?

Tom Plum Plumbing is the best! Tom is extremely knowledgeable, friendly and reasonable. Our water heater was not producing water as hot as it used to. Tom knew just the fix and had it working for us again in no time. He saved us from buying a whole new water tank. We are very happy and pleased with his service! Highly recommended plumber!
