I wish I could give Scott more stars!!!
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!!!
Response from the owner:Hi Vanessa Molnar,

I couldn’t recommend Scott more highly for his knowledge and honesty. He took the time to properly think through the problem and proposed a way of installing a new hot water system with less lag time and inefficiency.

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!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the glowing review, Daniel! Scott always goes above and beyond to provide the best solutions for our customers. Don't hesitate to reach out if you need any more assistance in the future. For all your plumbing needs, remember Guardian Plumbing and Gas Services is always here to help! - Guardian Plumbing Team

Scottie is a legend! Highly recommend!
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.
Response from the owner:Hi MelissaP,

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.

Thanks so much to Scott for his wonderful service — honestly one of the best we’ve had so far. He fixed our leaking pipe, went through the house to repair all the worn-out pipes and taps that had been bothering us, and even cleaned up after finishing the work. He’s knowledgeable, professional, easy to communicate with, very friendly, trustworthy, punctual, and charges a fair price. What stood out most is that he doesn’t just treat it as a job — he genuinely wants to help people and make life easier. We’re really happy with his service and will definitely call him again for any future plumbing needs. Highly recommended!
Scott came to fix a tap and fixed up the tap, the basin in the barhroom, toilet. Very quick and professional and super clean with his work. Above and beyond and would recommend!!!
