HRod Plumbing & Heating

HRod Plumbing & Heating is essentially one person — Henry — and the reviews read like a running log of him bailing people out of plumbing trouble fast. The company calls itself a family-owned plumbing and heating shop serving Arlington and the wider Boston area, though its listed address and several independent directories put its home base in Danvers instead. Its 17 Google ratings average 4.9, and the 14 written reviews mostly land on the same handful of jobs: water heater failures, quick diagnostics, same-day fixes. In the past six months, one customer whose water heater died over a holiday weekend says Henry showed up within the hour, sourced a replacement, and had it installed that same day; another describes him as a licensed plumber who finished a repair fast, on short notice, at a good price. A longtime customer writing this spring says they've called on him for years without a letdown. The reviews from late 2025 tell the same story — prompt, clean, fairly priced — so the recent run looks like the norm rather than a lucky streak. One thing worth clearing up before you call: the business's own site names Arlington as its base, but the address on file and outside directories (ibegin, vymaps, mylocalservices) place it in Danvers, and a separate web listing under the same name gives yet another phone number. None of that shows up as a complaint in any review, but it's worth confirming where the truck is actually coming from and which number reaches him. For a same-day water heater problem or a general plumbing repair where you'd rather deal with the person doing the work than a dispatcher, the review history backs that up, and the Massachusetts plumbing license checks out active. Just nail down the current address and phone number before booking.
