"They called back immediately from my initial message. They came first thing in the morning and by noon my new water heater was installed and up and running. They went over and beyond what I have ever experienced with other plumbing technicians.They explained everything up front and I found them to be highly knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this company and they have acquired a new lifelong customer based on their performance dealing with my situation."

"Extremely satisfied. Company was responsive (My initial call to them was on Xmas Day when I noticed the sewer backed up in my back yard). They called me back immediately and agreed to send someone to look at it the next day (after ansering some questions, we agreed it was not an emergency) - they came the next day as promised and even called prior to their arrival. The plumber assessed the situation and took pictures to send back to Larry. I spoke with him and agreed to have them come back on Monday when the equipment needed to address would be available (needed an extra long hose and camera set up given the location of the cleanout cup). Each time dealt with the company (Larry) he would call to let me know status and options. On the day they came, Larry and his associate were at my home at the time promised. Spent nearly 3 hours and all is well. So although a bit pricey, well worth it given the responsiveness and professionalism of the company. Would highly recommend them for any of your plumbing needs.

"We recently moved to Connecticut and needed a plumber to fix our leaking shower head. I called a few vendors, but they were the ONLY ones that actually have a live person answering phone. We had a plumber in our house within the hour, which is super convenient. They assessed the issue and let us know what their recommendations were and they were back at our house today at 8:15am to fix it. Benny and his assistant were great. Very knowledgeable and communicative throughout every step. They also consulted their boss from time to time to assure their work on point. They covered everything very nicely and also cleaned up after themselves. My husband and I are very pleased and will definitely have them on speed dial in the future if another need arises."

"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."

"I hired this company for an inspection on a home before purchasing the home. The plumber was able to put a camera into the sewer line and assess for any current-or foreseeable issues. 100% recommend this service for anyone purchasing a home as traditional home inspectors do not assess home plumbing as in depth."

Schedule a plumbing inspection every one to two years to ensure your system is in good working order. Regular inspections can help you catch minor issues before they become costly problems, like major water damage repairs. You should also consider a plumbing inspection when buying or selling a home or if you notice signs of a plumbing issue. Staying proactive with maintenance can save you money and stress in the long run.
A plumbing inspection for a standard one-story to two-story home takes between two and three hours. For larger residences, historic homes, or rental complexes, a complete inspection requires a full-day commitment of eight hours. However, this does not account for any necessary repairs that your plumber might find, so it’s best to set aside additional time during the inspection in case an unexpected repair comes up.
When built with quality materials, your plumbing system endures for decades. CPVC, brass, iron, and steel provide reliable service for 50 to 70 years, while copper extends durability up to 100 years, and PEX maintains performance for 80 to 100 years. Maintaining this system with regular inspections and prompt repairs guarantees long-term efficiency.
You should repipe your home when your plumbing exceeds its expected lifespan or uses hazardous materials like lead, polybutylene, or galvanized steel. Persistent leaks, corrosion, and compromised water quality signal that your existing piping no longer meets safety standards. Repiping eliminates potential health risks and prevents extensive water damage.
