Clark Plumbing & Heating Solutions

Like most homeowners, we hate anything relating to a plumbing issue.  For me especially - water and I just do not get along in a house.  I've had various issues already, but this was one of the most annoying - my basement shower, elevated on a wooden frame and installed by the previous owner who did a shit DIY all around job, was a mess and as shoddy as an island shack.  So when the shower started leaking at the base between the frame and the cement floor, I knew I was in trouble and that it would be a disastrous fix if it involved pulling out the frame.  

Well, step one was the research what the eff I was going to do.  After some friendly advice from the all-knowing Google, I knew I probably needed to call a plumber (which I hate) and that it was going to cost mucho dinero (the exact reason I hate calling plumbers).  I didn't want any surprises for the plumbers I reached out to for estimates due to the possibility of tearing up the wooden base, so I was quite frank in my mass emails I sent out describing my issue.  Boy, were the responses fun, and included but were not limited to:

-We don't have time for this type of job.  Ever.
-We're fully booked until a month later, can you wait?
-Yeah, we're going to need to come by in order to do an estimate.  That'll cost you $150.  
-No response. (probably laughing at why anyone would waste their time with an annoying job like this)

No, eff you all.  Luckily for me, Bill answered within a day, and said he'd check out the issue.  Bill was great - personable, reasonable and professional.  I couldn't have asked for anyone better.  He went into the issue understanding my concern, and attempted to fix the leak without getting to the base.  Unfortunately, due to the previous scumbag and his wholesome fail at DIY at using glue like some maniacal second grader, Bill was unable to pry the drain out from the top.  So I gave him a miserable nod, allowing him to start the process of tearing up the frame.  The more wooden planks he tore from both the base and the side frame, the heavier my heart, as I could see Bill was not expecting the layers upon layers of wood blocking his way to the drain and pipe.  At one point, he stopped, stating there was a plank he wouldn't be able to get out unless he tore up the whole shower.  You could imagine the $$$$ rolling through my mind at that point - my field of vision was literally green, and then a sickening blood red.  But Bill, and I have to hand it to him, thought for about a minute when he saw my face, and said he may have another creative idea.

Thirty minutes later, and with a large hole slightly larger than a basketball in the wood, Bill had managed to fix the leak (which was caused by the previous owner not tightening the plastic cap underneath the drain.  Have I made my point about the incompetency of the previous owner yet?).  Despite having a large hole at the most inner wooden base, I was ecstatic, as Bill was able to get underneath the shower with minimal damage.  And the cost?  Slightly over $200 for over an hours+ work of worth, which includes the help of an apprentice he had observing and getting tools from their truck. This may be a bit expensive as this prices in labor only (no parts or supplies were needed), but due to the complexity and woodwork involved, I'm happy with the net result.  Bill will definitely be my go-to guy for my future plumbing needs!  Thanks Bill!

We are doing a kitchen remodel and needed a plumber to disconnect the stove and sink, Clark Plumbing and Heating came right out on short notice to get us ready for countertops.  The guys were extremely professional and courteous, they were very clean and informative in terms of the new appliances we were buying.

After the countertops went in they came right back out to hook up the sink and stove, during a snow storm, so that we could get back to normal

We are truly grateful and would recommend Clark Plumbing and Heating for any of your home remodel needs

Called Clark Plumbing after being disgusted by the prior plumber that we had over to go over some work we needed done and get some estimates.  Not only did Bill sound more knowledgeable over the initial call, he also provided a more realistic expectation and estimate over the phone than the other company that sent someone over.  Scott came out to perform the actual work.  He was great!  Not only was he knowledgeable, he was also very courteous.  In less than 2 hours, he had my water pressure issue resolved, installed a new faucet and replaced our garbage disposal.  Both of these gentlemen were great!  Highly recommend Bill and Scott.

Two things I dont like to mess with myself - water and electricity, one small mistake can lead to a much bigger one down the line. So when my kitchen faucet hit the end of its lifespan and started leaking I called Clark Plumbing. They were super quick to respond and set me up with an appointment and sent Scott my way to replace it. Scott was super friendly, professional, and helpful. Not only did he replace my faucet but also fixed quite a few things under the sink that needed maintenance and probably havent been touched in the last decade. He also went out of his way to give me some general maintenance tips and preventative measures I could take. Would recommend these guys in a heartbeat and will be calling them again if needed (but hopefully not for a long time)!

Our hot water heater decided to die, I saw good reviews here on Yelp so I reached out to Clark Plumbing. Bill got back to me right away, provided a reasonable quote, and set up an appointment for the next day.

Scott and Bill showed up on time and completed the work quickly and exactly as quoted. Highly recommend.

There was leakage around my garage disposal- I looked up Yelp and spoke to a couple of plumbing companies in the evening. Bill from Clark Plumbing was extremely helpful and gave me good advise. He gave me an appointment  for the very next morning and promptly at 9 am Scott arrived and replaced my garbage disposal within an hour. Scott also looked at a leakage in my bathroom and gave me advice.
Scott was extremely friendly and professional. He did an excellent job.
The charges were very reasonable and the work is excellent! They seem like a very ethical team who are not prolonging a job just to bill clients more money. Infact, Scott did the work under an hour and also gave me useful tips on maintenance!
I very highly recommend them!

I highly recommended Clark Plumbing &Heating. They responded quickly.  Schedule an appointment that was most convenient for me.  Scott was there early which was great. Very professional answered all my questions and did excellent work.

Yesterday morning when I went to the basement  and found water on the floor. My water heater was leaking, I made a few phone calls and a friend recommended This company. I called and they came that day gave me a good estimate and then completed the job. The service was professional, reasonably priced, prompt and very personable. I will use them again for any plumbing issues I have in the future.

I just moved to a new house and everything is a mess, include the washing machine. It leaks heavily and I'm not sure where the problem is. It caused serious water damage. I called Clark plumbing and they sent two guys to help me out the next day. They did absolutely perfect job and get it done in 20min. They are also really nice people and I would definitely call them again in the future if anything goes wrong again. Highly recommended and thank you very much.

My garbage disposal unit had gone bad, and I had an issue with poor hot water flow in my kitchen faucet. Bill was very responsive and promptly agreed to a service appointment. Scott arrive on time, and very expeditiously diagnosed my issues and resolved them professionally. Clark Plumbing & Heating was reliable, knowledgeable, and competent. I strongly recommend this firm.

We were working on a home renovation project in Somerville and needed a plumber to urgently move our boiler and water heater away from the area of the project. The boiler and water heater was newly installed, so we were very nervous about moving it and afraid of what kind of issues could come up. I researched for weeks and finally found these guys!! I called them and the next day they stopped by my house to asses the project. They then emailed me right after with a quote that was extremely reasonable. They were honest, fair, hardworking, and completed the project timely, smoothly, and with no issues at all. Everything was moved according to plan and we are so lucky to have found them! We are now able to go on with our home project. Thanks so much to both Scott and Clark for the wonderful work. Very trustworthy and honest. We are planning to have them over again for another project and looking forward to it. Hire these guys!!! They are the real deal!!
