The state registry shows CT plumber license PLM.0290387-P1 as active. The registry names TIMOTHY D NEVERS as its holder. Google shows 4.9★ from 211 ratings. HomeAdvisor and Angi each show 5.0★ from 13 ratings, and Thumbtack shows 5.0★ from 11. The Better Business Bureau lists the company as accredited with an A+ grade. Reviews name Justin from April to September 2026 and Tim from January 2023 to August 2026. Customers write that Justin diagnosed a bathroom sink problem another plumber had missed and provided a printable diagnostic and estimate, crawled into a very tight crawl space in an old basement, cleared a solidly blocked run of corroded galvanized drainpipe, and reset a toilet after new bathroom flooring went in. Tim is credited with installing a new hot water tank and washer dryer hookup, replacing a burst hot water tank after coming over within the hour, fixing a failed sump pump setup the same day, installing a sump pump from a proposal built on photos of the basement, upgrading a house to pex with a tankless water heater and propane lines, and renovating a former bathroom into a laundry room. Other customers describe a new hot water heater installed the same afternoon a leak started, advice on acidic water with a pressure tank fixed on the same visit, and the plumbing for a new basement bathroom. A broken pipe that needed emergency service drew an immediate response from Tim. Three 1-star reviews describe problems. One customer reported water in the basement, was told there was no problem while only the bathroom drain was cleared, and two weeks later had sewage back up from the main sewer line; that reviewer says a refund request by email went unanswered. Another was quoted over $750 to replace a water filter housing cap, could not get a cost breakdown from the technician or the main phone line, and says the company then would not service the issue; another plumber fixed it for $375. A third says a slow toilet drain came back the next day with no toilets draining properly, and the plumber was busy until next week. A 3-star review called $500 for less than an hour's work overpriced. **Strengths:** - Water heaters — hot water tank and tankless installs, a burst tank replaced after a visit within the hour - Diagnosis — Justin found a sink problem another plumber had missed and gave a printable estimate - Sump pumps — a failed setup fixed the same day, a new pump installed in a day **Concerns:** - Pricing — over $750 quoted for a water filter housing cap, $500 for less than an hour's work - Missed sewer line — only the bathroom drain was cleared, and the main line backed up two weeks later ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Google shows 4.9★ from 211 ratings. _(confidence: high)_ - [Google](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Vanguard%20Plumbing%20Solutions%20LLC&query_place_id=ChIJ0-P1ApDQKEIR1km4f6Vl1z4) — “Google: 4.9★ from 211 ratings” - The state registry shows CT plumber license PLM.0290387-P1 as active. _(confidence: high)_ - [State License Registry](https://www.elicense.ct.gov/Lookup/LicenseLookup.aspx) — “CT plumber license PLM.0290387-P1 registry-verified active — registry holder of record: TIMOTHY D NEVERS” - The Better Business Bureau lists the company as accredited with an A+ grade. _(confidence: high)_ - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ct/bantam/profile/plumber/vanguard-plumbing-solutions-llc-0111-110084539) — “Better Business Bureau grade: A+” - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ct/bantam/profile/plumber/vanguard-plumbing-solutions-llc-0111-110084539) — “Better Business Bureau: accredited / certified / member” - Customers credit the company with hot water tank and tankless water heater installs, including a burst tank replaced after a visit within the hour. _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2w5aVFWSndiWFoxTUV0SFNHNVRhRE54TVZNeFIyYxAB!2m1!1s0x0:0x3ed765a57fb849d6!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOl9iQVJwbXZ1MEtHSG5TaDNxMVMxR2c%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ Tim was great - he installed a new hot water tank and washer dryer hookup in our basement.
