      Great experience! Joseph was able to quickly fix a difficult and urgent problem. Joseph has a wealth of experience, is very professional and explained the solution step by step – exceeding our expectations. We would ask for Joseph again.

      We got notice from our water utility that their system flagged a slow leak in our system. Anna called them, very helpful. We troubleshot as best we could and came up empty. We called Gene Johnson and explained what we knew and didn’t know, scheduling a technician Friday morning. Branson Carr showed up as scheduled, we went over the situation and he started a well organized trouble diagnosis. In the end, he believed that we don’t actually have a leak, but something else. We discussed it together and in the course of breaking the system to smaller units found he couldn’t totally isolate something the utility would believe was a slow leak. Eventually he he believed it was the two valves that were likely the culprit. We had been experiencing episodic low water flow in some of our fixtures, but they came back in time. We explored that with our different background and concluded the apparent slow leak observed by the utility was likely the result of a faulty main supply valve, causing pressure drop in the system, taking some time to recharge to the rated pressure supplied by the utility, mimicking a prolonged slow leak. He recommended replacing the old gate valve with a new ball valve. I asked if we could install a leak detection/shut down capability that is readily available. He did so quickly and we noticed immediate return to the home’s original functionality.
      I was very impressed with the advanced features of the monitoring and shut down, even moreso when we learned of it’s remote notices, remote control and monitoring abilities.
      Branson is an excellent plumber and diagostician. He worked quickly, spending time with us until he was comfortable with the intricacies of this system.
      I definitely will not hesitate to recommend him to others.

      Tyler was prompt and professional. There was no upselling just straightforward information. He assessed it, informed us of the water heater failure, and they proceeded to get everything installed in the same day. Great work and easy to recommend.

      Noah Amini did an outstanding job. He evaluated our needs and came back 2 days later to put a backflow valve in our sewer line to prevent rats from entering our toilet. Gene Johnson will be called next time I need plumbing work done.

      We have used Gene Johnson Plumbing for many years. We most recently had need for a clogged drain to be unplugged in an upstairs bathroom of a rental property. The appointment was prompt and Jaren was right on time. He communicated very clearly what the job would entail and the related costs. He was professional and got the drain cleared quickly with minimal disruption to our tenants. He discussed what he found in follow-up to clearing the drain and future options that would be of benefit and help to prevent further clogs. The price for his service was reasonable and we highly recommend Gene Johnson Plumbing and will continue to use them for our future plumbing needs.

      I had what I thought was a minor water leak GJP was responded quickly and communication was thorough including multiple confirmation texts. A nice text about Brandon who is the tech that was coming, including an ETA. Response was timely and they arrived when promised as it turned out a small leak was a much bigger problem. A through the process. It was explained to me what they were finding and various options to fix the problem. It could not be fixed immediately, but the initial service at a minimum stopped the immediately leak and returned cold water to service. I have received multiple options in how to solve the greater issue. Highly recommend.
