PFG Plumbing and Gas

4.8(72)✓ Google-verified

Across dozens of jobs-from burst pipes to leak detection to gas fittings-PFG staff answer phones promptly, show up same-day or within an hour even outside hours, and complete work to a standard that rarely needs a call-back. Reviewers name Mitch, Eric, Steve, and Deb as reliable anchors; the team communicates progress, cleans up after themselves, and prices fairly enough that customers save them in their contacts and call back for their fifth, sixth service with confidence. The business holds plumber, gas-fitter, and builder licenses; their website lists iStore heat pump installs, strata and commercial support, and pumps alongside residential work. Praise runs deep and consistent: one long-term customer highlights respect shown to garden landscaping during excavation, another credits Steve with NASA-grade problem-solving, and multiple reviews mention same-day emergency callouts and tidy job sites.
