We had a sewer backup at the house. I have an annual contract with another firm but when I called, they couldn't guarantee getting out in more than a week. I was recommended TPH by another plumber I know who mostly does install. They came out the next day. We had bought the house a few months ago and didn't really know anything about the system which is a grinder pump. They were pretty sure it was electrical but the access needed to be pumped. They took the initiative to coordinate with the septic pump firm and got them out that afternoon. Next day they fixed the issue in a manner of a few hours. In addition, Jason, Byron and Ronnie were so professional and just good dudes. My dog thought the same thing and he's pretty picky about who he warms up to. I see a few negative reviews about the hourly cost. That just seems out of touch. We've had other plumbers both here and in Dallas and TPH's rate is right in line and frankly better service. I'm canceling my other annual contract and will be using TPH. read more

TP Howard's Plumbing - Plumbing Near Me - Fairview, North Carolina

I contacted T. P. Howard about replacing a thermistor on a Rheem Hybrid water heater. The unit is connected to Rheem by Internet. A code was sent indicating a thermistor was reading out of range. Rheem sent the part and written instructions on replacing it, with photos of which part needed to be replaced. It literally is a plug in part. The service charge was $187, which I thought was high. But the guys they sent out replaced the wrong one. So after they left the same error code was again sent. So I had to call T. P. Howard again to come back and replace the correct one. Even though they were the ones that made the error, they charged me another $187 to come back and correct THEIR MISTAKE. I don't think I should have had to pay them again to come back to fix their mistake! That's $374 to plug in a part! That's just greed, plain and simple! Avoid them! read more

I called TP Howard yesterday morning for help with a water leak. Within an hour Andrew arrived, quickly diagnosed the problem and fixed it. The response time was faster than expected and Andrew did a great job. Thank you! read more

My fault for not asking what the hourly labor charge was. They were fixing a repair again that they had done a few years back so I called them again thinking I had done my research previously. $175 an hour! More than the other review posted just 4 months ago. And they suggested they wait for the glue to dry which they recommend an hour. $175 waiting for glue to dry! I took my chances and gave it 30 min. Job was completed but expensive for a split ball valve outside. read more

Excellent and timely service, and reasonable prices. Excellent company and employees.

If i could do no stars, I would. I'm a 13-year steady customer at their $160/hr or fraction thereof company. I had a stuffed up kitchen sink with guests for Christmas. The guy who answered the phone said, "not before early next week sometime." It took me several attempts, but finally reached supervisor Mike. He could hardly have been more rude. It was like gettimg "the finger " over the phone. Problem is, they're too rich and feel they don't have to worry about a customer. Well, I'm looking for a new plumber! read more

Andrew, knowledgeable and friendly, was here within a hour of calling to open a clogged drain. All done in less than an hour, cleaned up after himself, and all is well again. Great service and fair pricing. read more

The main water line at my property has been leaking, and I waited 3 days on them to even go out there and look at it, which they never did. When I called them they said they would be out there the same day, or the next day. Now after 3 days of waiting on them I called 4 Seasons Plumbing and they had someone out there within a couple of hours. If TP Howard had been honest with me that it was going to take 3 to 4 days or more for them to get out there, I would have hired someone else. The line has been leaking a thousand gallons a day of water for 3 extra days waiting on them. They cost me hundreds of dollars in water usage due to their dishonesty. I will never use them again, and as a Realtor and property manager I will spread the word to all my clients to never use this company. read more

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. THEY ARE OVER PRICED, RUDE AND DO NOT CARE. We have been loyal customers for over 30 years. With our house and 9 local rentals; they have been reliable in the past but today when we called about a tenant who is a single mom with 2 young kids and a disabled mother that has no hot water ( new water heater installed by them 4/24) they said its not an emergency and that they would call us next week to see if they could fit us in. I said this was unacceptable and they did not care. I asked for the owner Josh Howard who knows us well to call us back. I had spoken to Eddie and Mike but never called back by owner. Both were rude and dismissive probably because I am a female. I explained that my husband a peds ICU doctor was saving lives and could not do the job in a timely fashion due to his commitment to the kids that were very sick in the ICU. I paid $2400 including 6 hours of labor for a normal electric water heater back in April. They did not care. I recently had referred a colleague and they screwed up her job. I do not know what's going on with them but many recent reviews are poor. They are not the only show in town. As a local doctor myself, and business owner I would have called the person myself. BTW since the hurricane in Asheville my husband has replaced 4 water heaters and most take an hour or so. read more

After finding out we had a major leak outside our house, we called TP Howard's office for an appointment, and Matt came out the very next day. While digging out mud by hand to find the cracked pipe, Matt also had to dig out pieces of concrete and other construction debris the builder had buried along the outside of our house. This was back-breaking work, but Matt kept his sense of humor during the whole process. He had to return the next day, since digging down five feet wasn't quite enough the first day, and he quickly dug another foot or so and found the break. He replaced the broken piece, and when the glue had dried and the pipe tested for no water leakage, he filled in the deep pit in no time and made it look like the ground had never been disturbed. We were so impressed with not only how quickly they responded to our call but also with the level of expertise and professionalism Matt displayed. We will use TP Howard again and will definitely refer others as well. read more

Called TP Plumbing from a recommendation from Nextdoor who had similar water pressure issues. This was the second company I called and had come out. I had two issues in a recent airbnb renovation, the sink and tub water pressure was very low. One of their associates, Jackson, came out and fixed my sink issue within 10 minutes of being there. The tub was a little more of a challenge. He did everything he could to try to remedy the issues. He went above and beyond to help solve my problem. One thing he tried, made it worse, but that just led to another possible solution. What I thought would take an hour or two, ended up taking close to 6, but they worked hard to solve my issue. After speaking with both Jackson and the office, we had agreed on a mutually agreeable price for the work that was done. I felt it was reasonable, and felt the work completed by Jackson was worth it. I would recommend them and use them for any future needs. read more

Frozen pipe going to my outdoor spigot. Didn't see that coming! Thought I had done everything right. I called TP Howard and they quickly scheduled me, gave me a reminder call and showed up on time! Brian couldn't have been more knowledgeable and efficient. He took the time to explain every step of the way. He did an excellent job! And I've never had a service person clean up so meticulously. Thank you Brian and TP Howard's! I can see why you've been voted Best of WNC 6 years in a row! read more

We are very happy with their service. We needed them to come on a Saturday morning to take care of our sink faucet that was leaking. The plumber was there early and everything was taken care of that morning. read more

I had a problem with my well. TP Howard took a week to respond. The young man they sent was courteous and worked diligently to find the problem for 1-1/2 hours finally telling me I needed to call an electrician to fix the problem. Then proceeded to charge me $230.00 for fixing nothing which I would have happily paid, if he had fixed anything. I called the service manager and they reluctantly lowered the price to $195.00 which I reluctantly paid. read more

This was my first time using TP Howard plumbing but it won't be the last. The plumber that worked on my hot water recirculating pump was excellent. His name is Greg. Greg is a very experienced plumber who knows his stuff - he has been more than 20 years experience. He is a consummate professional and very friendly and explained what he was going to do and why. He did a great job and did not try to fix anything that was not necessary. I wholeheartedly recommend both TP Howard and specifically Greg. read more

I appreciated that Ed and Elijah showed up wearing a mask. They quickly evaluated the problem and explained 2 different ways to find it (my choice), and were very honest saying they saw nothing when ceiling in closet was opened. They cleaned up and vacuumed area and explained what may have happened. I would definitely call this company again. read more

This company used to be good but has steadily gone downhill. Our latest visit was a fiasco. The problem was misdiagnosed and they charged us for their mistakes, even putting in the wrong part and charging us for it. They also charged a $160 trip charge which they had not done so previously. I have called the owner and asked that he call me to discuss the charges and he has not returned my call. I definitely do not recommend this company. read more

I've had T.P. Howard come to my home for several different plumbing issues. Recently I thought I needed someone on a Sunday but they explained how I could avoid that extra charge and came out early on Monday instead. They knew exactly what the problem was and did the repairs efficiently. They are always on time, efficient, very professional, and clean up after completing repairs. Just an outstanding company! read more
