Distinct Plumbing Heating & Gas Fitting

Distinct Plumbing, Heating & Gas Fitting is Kumar's one-man operation in Everett, built around the plumbing calls nobody wants to deal with alone: a burst pipe, a dead water heater, a gas line that needs to be done right. He's been running it solo since at least 2020, taking on everything from small fixture swaps to full pipe replacements and boiler work. The reviews describe the same thing again and again: he shows up fast, explains what's wrong before touching anything, and finishes in one visit. In a 2024 review, a homeowner said he found and fixed a garbage disposal problem within about 15 minutes of arriving — the unit had been installed wrong before they even moved in. During a deep freeze in a 2023 review, he gave a clear estimate of when he'd arrive, then quickly traced and fixed a burst pipe. More than one customer describes him laying out options rather than jumping to the priciest fix: showing broken parts next to the new ones, or, in another 2023 review, catching a second problem in a bathtub repair and handling it in the same visit instead of coming back for it later. He also takes on the errands a plumber doesn't have to. In one review he drove to Home Depot himself to grab a replacement toilet when the homeowner's work day got in the way, and in another he coordinated with a mason working in a customer's basement so a water heater connection wasn't disturbed during the foundation work. All 21 written reviews on file, spanning 2020 through 2024, are five stars, and both HomeAdvisor and Angi put him at 4.9 from 97 ratings. One thing worth asking about directly: both directory profiles carry a mismatched experience claim, a "10 years" line sitting next to an "over 15 years" one. Beyond that, four years of reviews turn up no complaint and no dispute. For a plumbing, heating, or gas problem that needs someone who explains the fix and stays until it's actually done, Kumar's history makes him a strong call — just confirm upfront that a one-person schedule can fit a non-emergency job in soon.
