What Our Customers Say

Barry Casey

Chris installed a new hot water system for me, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly thorough. What really stood out was how far he went beyond the original job. He identified and fixed several issues I wasn’t even aware of, took the time to explain everything clearly, and made sure the whole setup was safe, compliant, and running perfectly. Despite the extra work involved, Chris absolutely refused to charge anything beyond the original quote — a level of honesty and integrity you just don’t see often.

Therese Nguyen

Chris was an absolute lifesaver when the hot water tank flooded the kitchen. He was very patient with me and provided a quote to my landlord for the repairs promptly. He came to fix and replace the hot water tank within 24 hours. It was a massive job, and he was professional and efficient. Highly recommend Chris.

Therese Nguyen

Had an issue with my hot water. After a quick Google search found civic plumbing. Chris was responsive and came out that day to fix the problem. Reasonable rates for a Sunday. Would use again.

Blake Doctor

Tracey Nunziato

I’ve used Civic Plumbing a couple of times. Started with needing a new hot water system, he and his offsider were prompt and gave great advice. Next needed my leaking roof fixed, replaced sheets, all good now, then new kitchen, and Chris and his team put in all my appliances, including new lines. He actually recommended the Kitchen guy, United Kitchens, who was a God-sent. Great to have a plumber you trust.
