Bowers Plumbing Service

Mary O.

I would rate Mel Bowers higher than a five, if I could. My water heater drain had cracked and was flooding my home. He came over almost immediately and went to work. It was an old WH but he didn't lecture me, instead he explained everything in detail to my daughter, who was interested and in summary to me. It's an old mobile home and he had to take out the floor under the WH and build a new one before he could install the new WH. He stayed until 11pm in order to get the hot water working for me! Then the next day he checked all the faucets for sediment. His helper, Dan, was great too

Our new age tank-less water heater failed. No hot water was to be had. But we were headed across the country and had to rely on a referred individual to help figure out the problem, and then, hopefully fix it.

Located in No CA, Mel Bowers provided stellar service by becoming our advocate while remedying the situation. He took pictures of the water heater to show where it faltered. He was then able to get the manufacturer to swap it out for an upgraded and brand new tank-less water heater. Conducting business with utmost integrity, the only fee incurred was for the time it took Mel to replace the old heater with the new.

The end result: We are now Mel's advocate posting testimonials online for he and his company. Outstanding service!

Can I just say that, I Love My Plumber!
Mel Bowers is not just the best professional plumber in the North Bay region of Sonoma County, but, what makes Bowers Plumbing great is customer service, attention to detail, professionalism, experience and most of all fairness and honesty to get the job done. Plumbers always get a bad rap and most of them fit the stereotype. Not Mel Bowers Plumbing. They care. Mel Bowers care enough about your plumbing problems that he goes out of his way to make sure that the result is exactly what needs to happen.

I highly recommend Mel Bowers Plumbing to do the job. If you looking for a great plumber that will get the job done without hesitation, call Bowers Plumbing.

This is my long over due review for Mel and Bowers Plumbing.

I was up at our cabin in Forestville and our tankless water heater started leaking (okay, gushing) water. The entire floor was flooded!

I called a couple of plumbers and was lucky enough to be referred to Mel. Fortunately for me, Mel is THE go-to guy for tankless water heaters. Mel called me back right away but unfortunately he was an hour away and also booked solid for the next couple of weeks.

Did that stop him from helping me? No way! He asked me to text him a picture of the problem. I texted him and then he walked me through how to get the leak to stop pouring out water. All in all about a dozen texts were sent and 6 phone calls were made and through Mel's expert guidance, I was able to get the leak down to a super slow drip. He told me what part I needed and I was able to go to the local hardware store and buy the part. Our neighbor was able to replace the part for me later on that afternoon.

Mel was extremely kind and patient with my plumbing ignorance. When I asked him where I should send a check he told me not to worry about it. Huh?!?! What?!?! I had taken up at least an hour of his time through phone calls and texts! He told me just to do something nice for someone else. Seriously folks, this happened! There are still amazing people in this world!

Honestly, 5 stars just doesn't do Bowers Plumbing justice. In situations like this, Yelp really needs to have 10 stars!

After issues with a leaking water heater, we were fortunate to have Mel Bower recommended to us-- a reputable, diligent and honest guy who operates with integrity! We did not realize the severity of our leak and ended up replacing our 10-yr old water heater, but Mel made the situation painless by disposing the old heater and purchasing/installing the new one. He was even open to helping us replace our kitchen faucet on the fly and shifted his schedule around to accommodate my family. It is very apparent that he has a passion for what he does and makes great effort to see to it that each customer is genuinely satisfied! Upon leaving, he even assisted my neighbor's teenage boys in capturing a garter snake, so it could be placed in a better habitat...what a guy!

Just saved me money! Rather than make a service call to see why my water heater wasn't working, Mel talked me through a couple trouble shooting steps and viola .... I've got hot water! Great customer service. I'll be calling again!

I have called Mel a few times now to service our tankless water heater and I am always impressed. He is responsive, helpful, and dedicated. He rebuilt our outdoor tankless water heater in the middle of a rainstorm, worked on the weekend to get it done in time for Christmas, and smiled the whole time. The last trip out for me he did not charge me because the problem I describe seemed to resolve itself. He could have charge me for the long trip to my house but did not. I cannot recommend him enough.

What a rare combination. Mel Bowers has great technical knowledge and high integrity. He could have easily charged me $1,500 - 2,000 for new water heater like several others who will go un-mentioned. Instead Mel took the time to find a leaking valve which he replaced. His charge was more than fair and made me believe there is still at least one honest person in the plumbing business. Mel is a hard worker and knows his a equipment like a master.plumber. he was a delight to work with and is a great human being. He even made 2 check up calls to make sure his handy work was still in order.

Mel is the man.. he started on my job at noon and was still working at 10 pm. All for a water heater that was installed incorrectly , can't even express my gratitude and appreciation for his committment to his customers and his craft. Thank you Mel
