# George J Mortis Plumbing & Heating **Trade:** Plumbing · **Address:** 870 Massachusetts Ave, Lunenburg, MA 01462 · **Phone:** (978) 582-4983 · **Languages:** English **Rating: 2.6/5** (low confidence) — from 5 reviews across 3 sources. 80% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 0 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read George J Mortis Plumbing & Heating is a Lunenburg, MA plumber whose written reviews span more than two decades of customer relationships, though every one of them predates 2021. In a 2014 review, a customer described George as their plumber for the previous 20 years, always doing a good job at a reasonable price and remembering small details — like taking the time to balance a new refrigerator after connecting its water line. Reviews from 2017 and 2018 call him nice, affordable, knowledgeable, and quick to respond to calls. That changed by a 2020 review, which describes a very different experience: a rude phone call about installing a hybrid hot water heater, a promised quote that never came, and a week of silence after a single callback. The company's Massachusetts plumber license, held by George Mortis, is listed as expired on the state registry. For plumbing work, the long-running praise points to a plumber known for personal, careful service; the most recent review on file describes a breakdown in follow-through and communication, so it's worth confirming the license status and getting a firm callback commitment before booking. **Strengths:** - Long customer relationships — a 2014 review cited 20 years as a customer's plumber - Careful, personal service — reviewers call him nice, affordable, and responsive **Concerns:** - Expired license — the state registry lists his plumber license as expired - Follow-up breakdown — a 2020 review cited a promised quote that never came **Where sources disagree:** - The 2018 Google review's text also appears verbatim on a construction-directory site, likely a syndicated copy of the same review rather than a second, independent account ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - In a 2014 review, a longtime customer said George had been their plumber for 20 years, always doing a good job at a reasonable price, including taking time to balance a new refrigerator after connecting its water line _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://maps.google.com/?cid=1503077838311489262&g_mp=CiVnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLkdldFBsYWNlEAIYBCAA) — “5★ George has been my plumber for the last 20 years and has always done a super job for a reasonable price.
