Recommended Customer Reviews

Hansen plumbing, surprisingly, does not charge trip charge. Greg Baustain replaced my Noritz tankless water heater with a Navien NPE-240SA tankless. He did an outstanding job. He kept me informed of his progress throughout the job. Greg did a great job on the copper piping. Prior to accepting Hanson's quote I tried to get a quote from Jet Plumbing but they wanted to charge me $125 to come out and give me a quote. Hansen Plumbing doesn't seem to charge for any visits beyond the cost of repair or replacement.
I am happy with the job Greg did and would recommend Ira Hansen Plumbing.

I have been trying to forget my experience with this company but that is not fair to prospective customers. important for you to know that they do NOT Itemize so you can not be sure what you are being charged for per visit (we had several jobs in a row). Finally, after many concerns about my charges I said I could not pay until they itemized my bill. They finally & reluctantly did. I was shocked that this business practice Is legal. Regarding the job: I won't say the name of plumber, sorry. But he was careless, left large opening in wall around newly installed vent pipe to dryer, no tape, no nothing, created big leak inside another wall (I had to remove some insulation and let it dry out for several days before replacing drywall...he said ""no need to let it dry out, ok to close up!), did not secure pipes inside wall-I went to store and bought the pipe holders, and more. Just not up to par. But great show of friendliness which made me like him and not want to stir up trouble.
I WILL NEVER use this company again.

Epic props to Vetter at Ira Hansen. I had a really big, tough clog in my sewer line, out close to the street. He worked for hours with multiple machines to finally get it clear. This dude stayed friendly and awesome the whole time. What a pro! Highly recommend!

Very happy with my recent experience with Ira Hansen & Sons Plumbing and especially with Baustain recently when I needed some toilets installed quickly. The person who answered the phone heard about my need and connected me to Baustain right away. He was very responsive and was able to install the two toilets that day. Once here, he did an excellent job on the installation, which was not easy given that he had to carry toilets up and down stairs during the removal of the old toilets and installation of the new toilets. The rates were reasonable and the service and expertise were very, very good. I would recommend Baustain and IHS Plumbing in future without hesitation for plumbing needs and plan to use them in future for all my plumbing needs. I really appreciate their responsiveness and quality of work.

Sean and Roy showed up at our home for an estimate for a sump pump. They were prompt and very friendly. Examined our crawl space and determined that the location of our house and lack of evidence for water damage would not indicate a need for a sump pump. We really appreciated their honesty. We learned a lot about crawl spaces and where mold might start to grow.
We could see that they did not try to sell us something that we didn't need.
Great service!

This company has done work for me a couple of times, including fixing some issues left by a different contractor. I am satisfied with the work, their prices seem reasonable, and they stand behind that work with a one year warranty. This will be my company of choice for any future needs.

Great service. Sean & Roy were prompt and professional. Respectful of property and informed me of all matters taken to repair my hot water heater leak. Would definitely recommend and use again.

While the work was done for a faucet install and a broken sprinkler head, the running toilet still runs and there was not a up front price quote when the jobs were done. We were surprised by the bill and I questioned it. Can not get a response for months. I want to pay what I owe, but it needs to be itemized as I don't agree with the cost without explanation. NO RESPONSE TO MANY EMAILS to TAYLOR or even via Yelp messaging.

Capped water line for refrigerator because we moved the fridge across room. Greg Baustain got here earlier and had the job done in no time. He is quick, efficient and knowledgeable and a person of his word. He told me the other day he would have a quote to me that day and sure enough he did. Great company and he is an asset to it.

I have used IraHansen Plumbing for my personal needs as well as my real estate needs over the years. I highly recommend them. They are very professional, always on time and know what they are doing. Thanks again for recently taking care of my two new leaks!
