Blanchard Plumbing Services INC.

Blanchard Plumbing Services works out of Halifax, and a good share of the calls it fields are the kind nobody plans for — a water heater that won't restart right after a utility meter swap, a leak discovered at night, a Friday afternoon nobody else could fit in. The company describes itself as family-owned, running plumbing, drain, and gas jobs across Massachusetts and Rhode Island. On Google, 63 ratings average 4.9 stars, a number the independent listing site RealPros shows almost identically. Nine reviews have come in over the last six months and none of them are negative. One customer whose water heater died the moment Eversource swapped the meter says Blanchard was called at 2:30 on a Friday and had the system drained, the air cleared, and the heater running again that same afternoon. Another credits Bryce and his crew with a couple of shower renovations finished "prompt, professional and fairly priced." The same names turn up again and again — Bryce fielding the initial call, David, Nick, Colin, and Dean doing the actual work — which points to a small, identifiable crew rather than rotating subcontractors. When one customer found a water leak late at night, Bryce called back and had technicians at the door for the first appointment the next morning. A leaky kitchen sink for someone's elderly mother got fixed the next morning with no deposit up front, and when the new faucet's sprayer turned out to have a bit of stray plastic in it, the same plumber came back and fixed it immediately. One detail worth flagging: a review describing that same late-night leak call refers to the business as "Bouchard Plumbing" rather than Blanchard — almost certainly a misspelling, since it names the same technician, Bryce, as the surrounding reviews, but it's the kind of variant spelling that can turn up in a search. Nothing in the recent reviews turns sour, and the pattern holds back through the company's full run of reviews dating to 2023. For a leak, a dead water heater, or a shower that needs work, this is a company people call more than once — worth a ring for the same-day emergency as much as the planned job.
