A leaking water heater is the call APB Plumbing gets most visibly right. One recent customer came home from vacation to a water heater leaking everywhere, called around 6:30 PM on a Monday, and had APB at the house within an hour. A recent customer who came home in the evening to a leaking hot water heater said Fred responded immediately and the new water heater was installed in the morning. APB describes itself as a full-service plumbing company in Connecticut, and it carries 5 stars from 243 Google ratings. The smaller jobs get the same speed. A recent customer with a toilet leak from a failed wax ring said they were at the house within an hour of the call and the repair took about 45 minutes. A recent customer said Fred and Boris repaired a leaking shower valve, and that an earlier quote had been almost double what he charges. A recent customer said he fixed the issue without trying to upsell, after a different company wanted $4000 for upgrades that weren't needed. A recent customer who needed hose bibs and valves replaced said the work was done the next day, and named Fred as the owner. A recent customer said APB installed all the plumbing for a full bathroom and finished in time. A recent customer who found a broken water heater with water all over the basement floor said APB had 24 hour emergency service. A 2026 customer said Alex fixed a pipe that burst due to cold temps on the line to the washing machine, and pointed out a dryer problem that could have been a fire hazard. A 2025 customer said Fred installed a hot water heater the same day in less than an hour and took away the old water heaters. A 2024 customer said Alfred came out a few hours after a call about a leak from an upstairs bathroom into the kitchen and fixed it that day. Price drew one sharp objection: a 2025 customer gave 2 stars, saying Fred wanted $1500 for a job that took him 3 hours with about $150 in supplies.
Fred was super responsive and easy to work with to get my water heater replaced. He was very communicative while doing the work. Very neat and clean as well. Would hire him again!
Had to have a failing toilet replaced in a pinch. Fred came out the next day, did a quick and clean install and charged a fair price. Reliable and a great guy to work with.
Fred is friendly, knowledgeable and fair with prices. He is quick to get back to you, excellent with scheduling and on time. Definitely my go to plumber going forward. Thank you Fred and Boris.
