Big Dog Plumbing is an East Taunton plumbing company run by owner Eric Derochers, in business since 2009 with an active Massachusetts plumbing license. Reviewers describe two different experiences. On one side, several praise fast emergency response — one homeowner says Derochers was the only plumber who answered when a pipe burst during a cold spell, and another recalls a same-day fix after a major Sunday-evening leak, both calling the pricing fair. On the other side, a detailed 2026 review describes a shower installation that leaked behind the wall and needed the wall opened to repair, and a 2022 review reports no response to calls or texts about a requested sump pump install. With reviews this mixed, it's worth asking pointed questions about a specific job's scope and getting a firm timeline in writing before booking, and following up directly if a response slows down.

Fast service at reasonable price
DON'T USE HIM He was hired by the contractor we used to redo our two bathrooms. (Contractor said never again) Eric was always in a rush. He installed a shower that leaked behind the wall. Contractor had to tear down the sheetrock to repair. Plumber failed to cap off baseboard radiator that resulted in water leak in the basement. We checked with the state licensing board and he's had several previous complaints.
Eric and his team are top notch!
Our pipe burst during a cold spell and Mr Derochers was the only plumber to respond to our phone call. He was prompt in showing up and got the job done. He was respectful and the job was reasonably priced. I highly recommend.
Unreliable - would not recommend.
