Lanthorn Plumbing

Excellent plumbing company! I have used this company several times and I have always been extremely satisfied. They work until it's perfect!

I called them yesterday evening due to a pipe burst after freezing temperatures. They said they would come over at some point that night and call first.

No call all night.

The next morning I called and left a voice message to see if they would still come over. At 2:48 p.m., I am still waiting to hear.

Do not use this company. I realize all plumbers are busy right now due to freezing temperatures and pipes bursting all over Hampton Roads. However, it is unacceptable to tell someone that they will come over and then never show up or -most of all- NEVER call.

Great company.  Very professional.  They stayed working on our problems until they were resolved!  Highly recommend.

Water Heater Installation

1. Valve is not even on the drip pan,
2. Didn't use primer when connecting pipe,
3. Pipe too short, so just vent it,
4. Recycle old pipe cpvc (flexible metal pipe would have been more stable and nice,, but hmm)
5. Drain pan doesn't even fit the water heater,
6. Water heater blocking the drain from drain pan,
7. Asked 100 more for 20 drip pan (oh phone, we agreed that drip pan would be included)
8. Called 300 more than what was agreed on the phone (on phone, agreed that pipe work near would be included but he decided to charge more. And he said I don't like hassling with price)

We were out of town when our hot water heater, which also produces the heating, went on the fritz at our rental property. Our Home Warranty Company wasn't able to get a plumber dispatched in a timely manner, and with a tenant without hot water AND heat, we just couldn't wait. We called Lanthorn and they were out the very same day, identified the issues, were able to find the rare parts and complete the installation the very next day.

Their communication throughout the process was timely, top-notch service, even texting to let us know when they were on the way. Their rates were more than reasonable, and their staff, from the Office Manager to the Technician on-site, were super professional.

All around great experience; will definitely use again and refer with confidence!

We called them with an issue at work. They came out first thing in the morning and were helpful with educating us with what needed to happen. When one of the workers needed advice, the owner Paul came directly over. Now THAT is customer service at it's finest!!!

Fast service appointment setup even during the Christmas holiday week. Friendly and efficient service technicians. Great desk help for follow up with our home warranty company for the hot water heater.
