Saved by Ehrhardt Brothers Quality Plumbing! (West of Baltimore, a.k.a ColumbiaPlumber)…read more Sunday evening, our water felt less hot than usual. Monday, it was only as warm as we keep the house, and only as much water as there is in the pipes! Our gas water-heater failed! Bad timing, too. Last week was what Chicago calls Fools'-Spring ... around 70°. But this week was back to Second-Winter, 30° (Mar 2026). And the next warm days, which Chicago calls the "Spring-of-Deception", is still ten days away. There was water leaking from the heater. This is considered the calm before the 50-gallon tsunami. If this is home-remedy advice, First call a friend who has successfully navigated this problem. Next shut off the gas and then the pilot. Next shut off the water inlet. Your friend will have at least one plumber to recommend. (They will enjoy that...) If your garden hose isn't frozen to the spigot, drain the water tank. If frozen, spend a sleepless night with the 24/7 plumber's number on speed-dial. We chose #2.  We made it through the night. Two of our friend's recommendations were small-businesses, our preference, and we asked all three for quotes and availability. Ehrhardt was ready to offer a price based on our descriptions and photos, of course with caveats for anything unexpected. I considered their bid to be a pretty-penny, but I'll say it was less than our friend's expectation, and more than our friend in Cleveland expected. A fair price. They came the next morning, and it might have been sooner if we had called right away. We cleared a path for them through the house, and they had the water heater replaced in 90min. Impressive. We went out for St. Pat's. But what we should have done was what they told us: check the pilot light for about 30min, and test the hot water after 60 to 90min. We came home to cold water. I'll admit some grumpiness. We called in the morning, and they came back in a jiffy (our apologies to everyone else who had appointments that day). In 30min, they figured it out: a faulty pilot in the new, just-unboxed water heater. They had a replacement part over-nighted. The next morning, in 30min, done. This time we did as told: checked the pilot after 20min (and nervously, an extra time again after that). Still lit! The second time we checked, the hot water outlet was noticeable warm. By 60min, hot water from the faucets! By 90min, much to relief of nearly everyone i know, a piping hot shower. AAAAAHHH :-) Ok, so how does three visits equal 5-stars! The hardest question answered first: Because the problem was the manufacturer's fault, and Ehrhardt handled it flawlessly: Excellent communication by Ehrhardt, priority attention to our problem, no excuses, just fast resolution. Great service staff, from the office to my house. Fair price. I admit that I'm writing this in the after-glow of that hot shower. This could be the start of a beautiful situationship.

He also provided what next steps would be for a more permanent solution. It was a very professional, friendly service call.

When he was here, he paid exceptional detail to installing the new hot water heater - custom fitting new copper pipes above the hot water heater. Also When he installed the bathroom faucets, he made sure everything was centered. He also explained that the the bathroom sink's countertop had a little bit of a stain under the originalfaucet, which could not be covered over by the new faucet, since the new faucet diameter was smaller than the original faucet.. I appreciated that he pointed that out. They completed the work several months back and my plumbing has been doing great ever since. In my opinion, they are a little pricey but they do excellent work and are super duper knowledgeable, experienced and detail oriented!

He advised us to replace the water heater, tear down the original tile wall in the 40-year-old bathroom, and replace the pipes. He quoted a substantial amount for this extensive repair. At the recommendation of a friend, I contacted Arthur M. Black, Inc. Kevin promptly arrived and efficiently diagnosed the issue. While he did state that the water heater is old, it is currently operating properly and is not in need of immediate replacement. He determined that the faucet is a current model and he had the parts on his truck that were needed to rebuild the faucet, quickly resolving the problem at a significantly more reasonable cost. Kevin was courteous and professional throughout the process. I highly recommend Arthur M. Black Inc. I will definitely call Kevin for any future plumbing needs

I had called Black because the company was rated highly in Consumer Checkbook. I am impressed that Black did not "chase" my business. He gave me good advice. For free! Very rare these days. When I do need a plumber, I will return to Black.

Unfortunately, the experience still sucked because of the customer service from the front office. Multiple days we were promised callbacks that didn't happen.

We continued complaining and suddenly he was out of the meeting. He also promised a call back that didn't happen.
