Hope Plumbing

“Manual labor is not evil,” Jack Hope, co-owner of Hope Plumbing, once wrote on his company’s blog. In the post, called “Philosophers and Plumbers,” Hope introduced himself by saying that he graduated from Indiana University with a master’s degree in philosophy. He also taught philosophy. Then he decided to turn his attention to hands-on fix-it work and hired qualified technicians to do the same.

That was more than a decade ago, and Hope Plumbing still champions the value of the skilled tradesperson. The company is one of the most reputable companies in the business, particularly when it comes to complex systems in older homes. Hope Plumbing offers a range of services, from cleaning clogged main lines to installing water systems.

Good to know: Customers who leave reviews about Hope Plumbing often comment about how quickly the technicians respond to problems.
