Walsh Plumbing & Heating

Walsh Plumbing & Heating is a Franklin residential business built around one name, Tom, who shows up himself for the plumbing and heating problems homeowners can't wait on — a dead boiler, a leak, a clogged drain. Its own site describes work ranging from faucet installation to full water line replacement, with free consultations offered up front. What keeps surfacing across a written record running from 2021 through late 2024 is speed and fair pricing. In a 2024 review, a homeowner remodeling a kitchen said Tom quoted a fraction of what other companies wanted after actually taking the time to look at the job first. In a 2022 review, a customer described paying over $600 to Roto Rooter for a jammed garbage disposal with no result, then having Tom fix it in minutes. Emergency calls come up again and again too — a boiler thermal-coupler swap that restored heat the same day during a cold snap (2024), a leaking pipe fixed within 30 minutes on a Saturday (2021), and a tub leak diagnosed and repaired within about 90 minutes the day before a holiday weekend (2023). Google shows a 4.7-star average from 13 ratings. The record isn't spotless: in a 2022 review, a customer said Walsh promised twice to come replace a broken heating pipe and never showed, leaving them without a working furnace as the weather turned cold — a sharp contrast to the same-day responsiveness described elsewhere. Walsh looks like the call for a plumbing or heating problem that needs someone in the house fast, and reviewers describe fair, honest quoting on bigger jobs too. Given the one no-show account, it's worth confirming a firm arrival window before counting on same-day service for anything that isn't an emergency.
