R-Chee Plumbing & Heating

R-Chee Plumbing & Heating is a Hull-based residential plumbing, heating, and drain cleaning contractor that says it has served the South Shore for over five decades. Its Massachusetts plumber license is registry-verified active, and the volume of customer feedback here is unusual for a local plumber: 573 reviews from 2021 through 2026, the overwhelming majority five stars, including 78 in the past six months alone with only a single negative account in that stretch. The named technicians recur constantly — Jake (the owner), Kenny, Nick, Craig, and Ken Morgan Sr. — across a genuinely wide range of jobs. A 2024 review described an emergency water main leak where Jake worked to physically hold back a gushing connection by hand while the water company was delayed by a bridge opening before they could shut off the feed. Reviews from April 2026 described Ken Morgan Sr. diagnosing and repairing a high-efficiency boiler and on-demand hot water system after a major snowstorm, sourcing hard-to-find parts for older equipment on short notice — the same reviewer mentioned him coming back a second time within two weeks for a related issue. Routine work shows the same care. One review described three separate plumbing issues addressed in a single visit, with the crew catching an additional problem — a toilet that had been running unnoticed for a long time — that the homeowner hadn't flagged. Another described a toilet drain snaked, with minor porcelain damage that turned up during the repair fixed on a prompt return visit. Multiple reviewers describe using the company for years running and being satisfied every single time. Not every account is glowing. A July 2025 review described a phone estimate of $200 for a leaking toilet turning into an $850 final bill after a broken screw was discovered, and accused the crew of stretching out the hours on the job — a real complaint about the gap between an initial estimate and the final charge. With hundreds of reviews spanning half a decade and only isolated negative accounts, this is one of the more thoroughly documented plumbing businesses around — consistently prompt, communicative, and willing to return and make things right when something doesn't hold. Anyone on the South Shore with plumbing, heating, or drain issues, from a running toilet to an emergency leak, is who this points to being served reliably; it's still worth getting a firm, written estimate before a job that might run into unexpected complications.
