My journey in plumbing started immediately after I graduated high school in Carson City in 1978. I ventured away for 8 months in 1985 to try commercial plumbing in Sacramento, but my true calling was in service, prompting my return to Carson City. I launched my business in 1999 and have been fortunate to build a loyal customer base. Carson City has been kind to me, and I am eager to continue offering my services for as long as I can.
Since 1965, I have lived in Carson City, where I went to school and graduated from CHS in 1978. I’ve been happily married to Tina for the past 20 years, and we have raised five boys together; life has been quite fulfilling.

Recommended Customer Reviews

Greg Petersen is an excellent plumber who can trouble shoot any plumbing issue. He prioritizes emergencies and responds quickly. He stays current with new equipment and installations. He is professional and trustworthy. I highly recommend him for all your plumbing needs.

Greg is the best! We ordered a new water heater to replace a 8 year old one because we weren't getting enough hot water. Well Greg came out and we found that the water heater was incorrectly installed. So he ended up fixing it for $125 and anyone else would have sold us a new water heater and hopefully installed it right. You won't find a better plumber around!

If i could give Greg 6 stars i would! We had a gas small coming from our brand new hot water heater and had been out of hot water for a few days. Greg took my call at 9:30am and by 12:00pm was at my house -even with a completely full schedule. He really took the time to figure out where the problem was coming from and was even willing to let me watch and showed me what was causing the problem. Great attitude, great work, great price. Best of all - no more gas smell! I know who to call if we ever have a plumbing problem again! Thank you so much, Greg!

The best plumber in Carson City. We moved into to our new house 3 weeks ago. This morning my wife noticed a raging river pouring from underneath our driveway down to the main street and onto the next cross street. I called the city to shut off the main water to the house then immediately called Greg based on his Yelp ratings. He was super busy (2 weeks backlog) as most plumbers are this time of the year but took the time to call me back in minutes to discuss my issue.
Within 1 hour he put together a team and got the ball rolling. A portion of the driveway had to be torn up, a ditch 4 feet deep and and 6 feet aross was dug to expose the broken pipe. Work started around 1pm and its now 7:30pm the same day and guess what? We now have water and its all fixed. I thought this would be a 10K to 15K job with no water for at least a week or two. You read it right. Fixed in less than 9 hours. Is that even possible?... I mean WTF!!! This shows Greg's dedication to his work. After leaving our c he was off to complete his last job and by then it was close to 8pm. Cant say enough about his company.
Best plumber around Carson City. The ratings speak for itself.

Greg is by far the best plumber we have ever hired. Our water heater gas valve went out and not only did he take my call why he was on vacation but advised me on steps I could do in the meantime to expidite the process. As soon as he got back he came right over ( at 8pm by the way when most plumbers wont come out or charge you emergency fees) and fixed our water heater. He also gave me advice for what I can expect If I choose to upgrade my water heater in the future. I appreciated his honesty and work ethic. Thanks a lot Greg you do great work!

I have used Petersen Plumbing at both my home and rental for years. He is fair, incredibly skilled and identifies the problem and resolves it in no time flat. My most recent experience was yet another great experience. I called Greg with a problem and rather than coming out and charging me for what he determined to be an easy fix, he figured out the problem over the phone and walked me through the fix, which I did my self. Fabulous. I think Greg could teach a few other professionals how to treat their customers! He will be my plumber, till he rides off into the sunset!

Greg has been our plumber for over a decade, he is extremely reliable and we use him for our home and business. I loathe plumbing issues and Greg always fits us into his schedule even if it means a longer day for him.. everyone knows when plumbing is involved, it's an emergency! I love his sense of humor while he is busy working away at our plumbing issue, great work and entertainment at the same time?!
Thanks Greg for all you do!

I had a horrible experience with this plumber, first he was 20 minutes late and I was on a lunch break to meet him. He did apologize but I told him I had to return to my job soon. I am a renter and management company sent him out. There are two distinct odors coming from sink and he basically said he couldn't smell anything. He then went on to tell me how I should clean under the sink and grabbed a planter in a mocking kinda of way saying like this and put it to his nose basically saying the issue was that I had not cleaned under the sink. He said I should remove the paper (put there by management company not me) He would not hear me when I said that the stench was there prior to my putting any products or anything else under the sink. He was very rude and condescending. So I said do not speak to me in a condescending manner. I think he said lets move on to the next issue which is sediment coming out of the faucet. He treated me as if I were in idiot and told me the pipes were being flushed out in my area and was I not aware?! I the management company informed me and I offered to wait on having plumber come out, they sent him anyway. I did not appreciate his tone, demeanor, or lack of respect. I had a teacher acquaintance with me and she said, ""wow, I can't believe how he spoke to you!"" He may be highly rated with others but my experience was negative from the start. He even said he had to squeeze me in when we made an appt. more than a week prior set at my lunch time. When I sent a text asking him to text me when he would be arriving he was already rude. I get being gruff but this man was more than unprofessional, he was belittling.
So this is the 3rd communication this plumber has written about me. He has written a bad review on a company who he claimed was rude to his wife and called out the receptionist by name. So apparently only Mr. Peterson can be wronged! You got a negative review because of your disrespectful attitude towards me which can be corroborated by an impartial 3rd party who I am lucky was present. You are now harassing me, only proving my point about you. I don't know a person who would tolerate being disrespected in their own home! I I definitely have my opinions as to why this individual thought he could talk to me in this way. Standing up for oneself is never wrong. Grow up!

called to let me know approx. time, was very nice and pleasant. Very knowledgeable about our system and make sure everything was fine before he left, also very reasonable would recommend him to everyone.

Greg is extremely responsive, professional, intelligent and capable. I recently had a plumbing emergency. Greg was busy working on other assignments but found a way to help me in my time of need. He was respectful, courteous and efficient, and his recommendations and follow up were appropriate given the situation. The cost of his service was reasonable. I highly recommend Greg. He is trustworthy, reliable and competent.
