Verified Reviews from Richland & the Tri-Cities
"I've used Father Daughter Plumbing on several occasions for replacing water heaters, faucets, and pipe repairs. Aside from being responsive and knowledgeable, Joyce was well prepared and very thorough. For my water heater replacement the system required additional items to meet code — Joyce had them stocked and was efficient in getting our house back up and running promptly. Plumbing is one of my least favorite repairs, and using Father Daughter has been a lifesaver — responsive, experienced solutions with a reasonable price tag!"
"Father Daughter Plumbing is my fave! Great response time and prices for my personal and rental properties for some years now. Father Daughter has fixed me up inside, outside, and under my house too! Today was a too-high water-pressure issue. I just won't bother with anyone else!"
"I contacted Father Daughter Plumbing to replace our water heater. Joyce squeezed us in two days later, answered all our questions, and arrived on time. The old unit wasn't installed to code — Joyce explained the vent, gas line, and pressure-valve issues and corrected them all. We're delighted with her installation and her knowledge of the codes. A classic example of an expert craftswoman plying her trade in an expert way."
