Absolute legend!!!
I’m at the top of an old 60’s block of apartments. I struggled with really poor water pressure for years. After many other plumbers either over quoted or couldn’t figure out the problem, I had given up in frustration. I’m so glad I tried one more time and got in contact with Guardian. Straight away Scott understood exactly what the problem was and how to fix it. He found a solution that was smart, efficient and saved my bathroom from any damage. He fixed a problem that’s been driving me crazy for years, and in just a day!!! I can’t recommend him enough. He has a great deal of knowledge and experience. If you’re looking for an honest reliable plumber who really knows their stuff, trust me call these guys!!!
Thank you so much for the glowing review about Scott and Guardian Plumbing and Gas Services! We're thrilled to hear that Scott was able to solve your water pressure issue efficiently and effectively. If you ever need any more plumbing work or assistance, remember that we're always here to help. Just give us a call!

In the end, he suggested an electrician might be able to repair the existing gravity fed system, effectively doing himself out of a job, and he was right. This was after several other plumbers had told me it was beyond repair. Thank you Scott!

He offers honest, professional and prompt service at reasonable prices.
Before the appointment he asked me to send through a few pics so we could discuss, and he could come equipped with the correct parts for the job. He arrived on time, was professional and honest, he showed me what he was doing and why and that made me feel at ease that I was not being taken advantage of.
Even though the work I requested was mainly in the bathroom he still took the time to check the kitchen for any potential issues.
As a first home-owner, I feel much more at ease after his visit. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that Scottie provided you with such a positive experience. Offering honest, professional, and prompt service is our top priority, and we're glad you felt at ease throughout the process. Remember, we're always here to help with any plumbing needs you may have in the future. Don't hesitate to reach out to Guardian Plumbing and Gas Services anytime!
