About J Hancock Plumbing
J Hancock Plumbing has been the primary plumber for households that keep coming back, with Jay and his team handling work orders quickly over several years. Honest advice stands out: a caller checking prices on a hot water heater replacement, after a large company had declared it dead over the phone, was walked through the real situation instead. Tough drain clogs get persistence, with one technician staying on a stubborn blockage at a mother in law's house until it finally cleared. Bigger work is on the resume too: a total sewer line replacement run through the most awkward corner of a backyard, close to the foundation and underneath flagstone, and finished cleanly.
