Lawlor Plumbing and Drain works out of Marshfield, and one name comes up in nearly every review over the past four years: Matt, described in a 2022 review as a Navy veteran running his own shop. The company says it handles plumbing repairs, gas fitting, drain cleaning and water heater installation. The care carries into harder jobs too: a 2024 review describes a sewer-vent-pipe problem that had stumped four other plumbers before Matt traced it, while keeping the cost down rather than padding the job. A 2023 review recalls him fitting in an emergency call right before Thanksgiving and going out for a bigger machine mid-job rather than give up on a stubborn clog. Fast response isn't a one-off, either: a 2022 review describes him arriving the morning after a late-night text with photos of a flooded basement and installing a replacement pump on the spot, and another from the same year has him as the only plumber who called back on a Sunday when a burst pipe left the house without water for a long weekend. Pricing comes up unprompted and consistently as reasonable — a 2022 review says his price beat every other quote the reviewer had gotten. Work has ranged from straightforward repairs to full installs: replacing and re-routing plumbing for a kitchen renovation, swapping in both standard and tankless water heaters, and fixing a burst pipe alongside a new laundry sink install. More than one homeowner has called him back for a second or third project rather than shop around again. The Better Business Bureau lists an A- rating for the business, though the file is recent — opened in February 2026 — and shows a single employee, worth keeping in mind if a job needs more than one set of hands or lands during a busy stretch. For a straightforward repair, a water heater swap, or a plumbing problem other companies have already given up on, this is a strong call — 25 Google reviews spanning 2022 to 2026 without a bad one among them. Since it's a one-person operation, it's worth confirming timing up front for anything beyond a same-day fix.
Matt is an incredibly honest and knowledgeable local plumber. I called him with a plumbing issue involving our basement drain and septic system, and he spent about 15 minutes on the phone helping me troubleshoot the problem. Instead of trying to sell me a service call, he gave thoughtful advice and recommended I contact our septic company first to check and clean the septic filter. That level of honesty and professionalism was incredible. Thank you.
We only have the best things to say about Matt and his work! Matt was thorough in his assessment of our plumbing situation and went above and beyond to not only fix the issue but also mitigate against further problems down the line. He made the process incredibly simple, with great communication. Matt's work was efficient and we have full confidence in the fix. Will certainly call him again in the future for any plumbing-related concerns.
Great experience with Matt! Extremely communicative and professional throughout the entire process. Would highly recommend Lawlor Plumbing for anyone looking for a plumber.
We called Matt to help fix a smell issue in our house and he was out there within a few days. He explained everything he was doing throughout the process and was extremely polite and professional. Matt is dedicated to making sure you get the best results. He even texted a few days later to make sure everything was running smoothly. We would highly recommend Matt and will be calling him again for any plumbing issues in the future.
Matt responded immediately and was able to come and solve my problem the next day. He also helped identify an unrelated issue in the process. I’ll definitely reach out to Matt next time I need plumbing help!
