Walsh Plumbing & Heating

T Walsh Plumbing and Heating is a small residential plumbing and heating outfit homeowners reach for when something is leaking, clogged, or cold. The company's own site describes work ranging from a single faucet installation to a complete water line replacement, with a free consultation to walk through the options before the job is scoped. Reviewers almost always name one person: Tom. He is the one who shows up, quotes the job, and does the work, a pattern that runs through Google reviews from 2021 through 2024, where the business holds a 4.7 average across 13 ratings. The most repeated praise is about speed. One homeowner writing in 2023 was referred to Tom the day before the Fourth of July with a tub leaking into the half-bath below, was told he could be there within two hours, and had it fixed within an hour and a half. Another described a Sunday callout when the household's only shower clogged, and a December 2021 reviewer had a leaking pipe handled within thirty minutes on a Saturday. Pricing comes up nearly as often. A 2024 reviewer doing a DIY kitchen remodel said Tom took the time to understand the job before quoting, while other companies barely looked at it and quoted three to four times as much. A 2022 reviewer whose garbage disposal was jammed said he took it apart and fixed it in minutes after $600 spent elsewhere had produced no result. The heating side is real but thinner. In a January 2024 review a homeowner in Seekonk described a gas boiler thermocouple replaced the same day in sub-20-degree weather, with the burnt-out part shown to them afterwards. Water heater installation and appliance hookups also appear, including the extra work needed to fit a new stove in a 2023 kitchen. Scheduling is the thing to pin down. A September 2022 reviewer said they booked a heating-pipe replacement two weeks ahead, were promised a date, and were never visited, leaving them without a usable furnace and calling someone else. It is the single negative account among these reviews, but it is specific and it involved heating work. If you want a responsive, owner-operated plumber for repairs, replacements and emergency calls, this is a reasonable call. Confirm the appointment date in writing, and lock in any heating work well before the cold arrives.
