Force Plumbing L.L.C

Force Plumbing is a one-person outfit out of Methuen — Jim is the plumber homeowners keep naming by name, and Thumbtack puts him at a perfect 5.0 stars across 31 ratings. The five reviews on file, all from the past year, describe the same kind of call: a faucet that needed swapping, a toilet that needed fixing, a shower leak tracked down and repaired. One customer said Jim replaced a faucet within 30 minutes of arriving; another, who needed both toilets fixed, called him "extremely responsive and on time." A third, dealing with a washer-dryer smell, said Jim talked her through a fix over the phone at no charge. His Massachusetts Master Plumber license is verified on Thumbtack, background-checked under the name James Bartlett. Worth knowing before you call: this is a young, small operation — two years in business, one employee — so the track record here is short, even though everything in it points the same direction. For everyday plumbing calls around Methuen — a stuck faucet, a leaking shower, a toilet on the fritz — the early reviews line up behind fast, communicative service; just know you're booking a solo plumber rather than a larger crew, so ask about timing if the job is urgent.
