What our clients say
★★★★★
I've called upon Russell Adams three times in the past few years. On at least two of those occasions the work was quite complicated: replacing the shut-off valve on the incoming water line; replacing the shut-off valve on the outgoing line, this one nestled in a maze of electrical wiring, etc. Russell's work was professional, creative and timely. I was impressed and can recommend him without qualification.
★★★★★
Russ was a recommendation from family and didn't disappoint. We were looking to have water flow improvement throughout the house and he really took the time to figure out the issues, and tended to each room with any plumbing, to make sure all was working well. In doing so, he uncovered a few other issues and was quick to fix them. He also shared a heck of a lot of tips for us to consider if any issues were to arise again. Highly recommend!
★★★★★
Adams Plumbing has provided me with exceptional top-notch services today fixing and installing a faucet and a toilet. Russ was honest, quick to answer to my call, attentive to details, on time, efficient and the quality of his services is unparalleled. I recommend Adams Plumbing anytime, small or big jobs. Thank you Russ!!!
