When Lowell residents trade plumber names on Reddit, David Murphy comes up. In a February 2026 r/LowellMA thread, one commenter listed him among three good ones they had used extensively with good experiences, and others said they use him for plumbing or had good luck with him. The company says it has served Lowell since 1983, doing plumbing, heating and gas fitting for homeowners, property managers, builders and commercial properties across the Merrimack Valley. David Murphy's Massachusetts plumber license (9723-PL-M) is active on the state registry. The BBB rates the business A+, though it is not BBB accredited. In April 2025, one Reddit commenter said they call Dave Murphy Plumbing whenever they have a plumbing issue in their old house and called it reasonably priced. Two days later, another said they were quoted $530 by Murphy and paid another plumber $185. A complaint on the company's BBB page describes a terrible experience with a heating system and hot water heater the company installed.
“I use David Murphy for plumping, and Lamco System for HVAC”
“Had good luck with David Murphy and Denommee.”
“David Murphy Plumberboy Caron *Fagundes is dropped from my list because you have to with a shitty AI agent to make an appointment. Lost all my trust.”
“Three good ones below. I have used all three extensively and consistently have good experiences. Fagundes Plumbing Heating in Lowell Callahan AC & Heating in North Andover David Murphy in Lowell”
“Got quoted from Dave Murphy $530 and used another plumber and charged $185. Do the math.”
I had an absolutely terrible experience with David M Murphy Plumbing, REMOVEDFitting, REMOVEDI had a heating system and hot water heater installed by them in May 2022, and the entire system costed over $14,000. While the initial installation appeared to be done well, the nightmare began when issues arose in October 2023.
