“Totally professional quality work and done when stated for a reasonable price. New water heater and water treatment system installed today and totally satisfied.

Strong HireSchlueter Plumbing - The No Nonsense Plumber
4.8(673)#3 of 20 in Cincinnati, OH
“After having a new water heater installed in mid-January, I recently noticed a natural gas smell from around the water heater. I closed the gas valve at the water heater and called Schlueter Plumbing on a Saturday. They arrived within 2 hours to tightened one of the pipe unions and stopped the leak. There was no charge for the repair since they recently installed the water heater.”
