Ira Hansen entered the plumbing field in 1979 by revitalizing a defunct sewer cleaning operation. Over the next seven years, he dedicated himself to the trade, cultivating a loyal customer base. With his plumbing contractor's license in hand, Ira launched Ira Hansen & Sons Plumbing in 1986. What began as a two-person operation, with Ira and Alexis Hansen, has now grown into one of the top plumbing companies in the Reno/Sparks region.

He provides competitive pricing, high-quality workmanship, and the experience of a lifelong Reno resident with a solid reputation. Being a second-generation Nevadan and a Sparks resident, Ira is well-connected to the local area. With a grandfather who worked as a boilermaker for the Sparks railroad and a father who was a local businessman, Ira has a rich family history in the community. Ira, a proud parent of eight, has some children actively participating in the business.

The foundation of Ira Hansen's values lies in family, work, and community, which is evident in how he operates his business. Ira, a third-generation Eagle Scout whose four sons are also Eagles, has woven a philosophy of preparation, integrity, and value into the fabric of Hansen & Sons Plumbing. An outdoor enthusiast and a Nevada history buff, Ira enjoys hiking the state's deserts and mountains when he’s not managing his business and family.

Ralph at Ira Hansen and Sons Plumbing arrived quickly for a bid on a semi-major plumbing job. They were one of 5 plumbers I called to get bids on the needed work. Ira Hansen and Sons was the ONLY plumbing company to provide me a written bid on the spot after reviewing the needed work.

Other companies took days to get a bid back to me, one would not give me anything in writing (only verbal) and several didn't even bother to measure anything nor view the inside plumbing that the damage line connects to.

I was beyond impressed with Ralph and his worker and the quality of their work. Ralph seemed very thorough in all that he did. I would highly recommend Ira Hansen and Sons Plumbing and they will be my first call in the future if need arises.

Very pleased with the service I received from Aaron @ Hansen and Sons Plumbing. On 06/10/2016 my basement flooded and I had extensive water damage, mold, etc. I have had many adjustors, contractors, landscapers etc to my property to assess the damage and reason for the flood. Hansen and Sons came out and did a free estimate and determined that the previous contractor had installed an incorrect sump pump that was not designed for a basement. He provided an estimate to replace and install within one day and followed up a few times to see if I had any questions. We were finally able to schedule the work yesterday. Aaron was on time, polite, and explained everything. He went above and beyond to test and check the new pump once it was installed and also recommended other things I could do to prevent additional water damage. I really appreciate the knowledge, professionalism, and experience he showed and I feel much safer now than before. Thank you Aaron! :)

Can't say enough good things about this company. From the very first call to job completion, they're excellent.

Tracy did a fantastic job. He was prompt, professional, and an all around great guy. I will definitely use their services in the future.

Five stars.

I had a plumbing problem after hours but it wasn't immediate so I filled out the online form for the appointment. They called first thing in the morning to let me know they didn't have the time I requested but had one close. Tracy showed up an hour earlier than they said he would be here. He was very friendly even showed me how and where to shut off the water if I ever needed to know. He was very quick and professional. I will definitely use them again if I need a plumber.

Our water heater pressure tank was leaking. I called another plumber, but they couldn't send someone out for two days. Ira Hansen and Sons sent Tracy out the day after I called. He discovered that not only was the tank leaking, the hot water return valve, after shutting it off to replace the pressure tank, would not open again, so that had to be replaced too. Tracy worked hard and as fast as these two items would allow. The connecting bolts on both the pressure tank and the hot water return valve would not budge. He had to cut the copper tubing and solder new connections into the line to complete the repair. Unfortunately for us, the original quote of $385 was increased to $489 because of the additional labor. We were surprised that the increase was so much, but pleased to have the job done. Tracy also recommended that we be prepared to replace our water heater in the near future at a cost of $1600 including the water heater and his labor.

Booked an appointment online through Home Advisor. Called the next day to offer a same day appointment late in the afternoon. Tracy, the installer, called and offered to come by earlier. He was friendly and professional. Fair price for the service. Highly recommend, will be using them in the future for all of my plumbing needs.

Got a service call within a couple of hours after calling. Tracy got the job done in a more than reasonable amount of time. He was extremely pleasant and very helpful. Great service overall!

Fast and friendly service, Tracy and Ralph explained what the issue was and what they were doing to fix it. They did the work quickly and kept my place clean even after cutting into the sheetrock ceiling.
Thank you Tracy, Ralph and the folks at IH&S Plumbing, great service that I will be using again!

Had a problem with one of my sprinkler valves, changed diaphragm and solenoid myself, but that did not solve the problem. Called Ira Hansen and Sons after hours, left message, they called back and had Aaron come our the next day. He was courteous, quick and efficient. I suggested that I buy the parts and he would do the labor and install, he had it fixed within an hour, would have taken me 4 times that long. System works fine and now I can sleep at night, my wife is happy as well. Great work at fair price, would highly recommend

Expensive! $150 for Tracy to snake a drain and another guy to watch for a job that was completed in less than five minutes- and no warranty of work. And the owner wouldn't consider giving us what the prevailing cost of this type of work - $80-90. Will not be returning!
