TESTIMONIALS
What People Are Saying
I had LD Smith come to my house for a 2nd opinion on a plumbing problem, and I am OVER THE MOON thrilled! Mason Cooley is a saint! He figured out the problems I was having quickly. He literally saved me THOUSANDS of dollars - THOUSANDS!! To say I am happy is an understatement of epic proportions! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM! Brandi was the first person I talked to and she was a peach too! What an extraordinary local company! I could not be happier! 😃

L.D. Smith provided an excellent experience from start to finish, from booking to confirmation to completing the work. The plumbers they sent were friendly, professional, and very informative throughout the service call. They took the time to explain what they had done and answered all my questions before leaving. I also appreciated how they made sure everything was cleaned up when the job was finished. Their quality workmanship and customer service really stood out. I highly recommend L.D. Smith for both small plumbing repairs and larger plumbing projects.

David was very prompt to respond to a leak in the copper piping leading from our water heater; he did a great job of explaining the issue and summarizing the repairs afterwards. He was great about partnering with our Home Warranty company who was reimbursing us for the work. Very happy to have received a quick and friendly service.

Our gas hot water heater stopped working last Sunday and we have been dealing with our home warranty company without success
Our hot water heater was still under warranty and I called LD Smith 3 days later about replacing our water heater under the factory warranty.
Mason and AJ came out the next day gave us an estimate for the installation and we were back online in just a few hours. They even used another employee to pick up and deliver the new hot water heater, so they could keep working to remove the old one
Great experience. We've used them ...

LD Smith replaced our clay tile sewer line via pipe burst in Jan 2026.
This is a high-functioning team. Great service, communication, and very competitive pricing.
Sewer Line Assessment
Joe conducted a thorough assessment of our sewage system, showed genuine curiosity in understanding some peculiarities (which no plumber had done before), and even got in both crawlspaces with me to answer some of my questions. In addition, he was knowledgeable (from my viewpoint), and straightforward. Fielded my follow-up calls, questions, and requests with patience and detail. Great start.
Estimate
No pushing, no BS. The estimate came in far more reasonable compared ...

Mason originally came to conduct an annual maintenance assessment. He identified a small leak in our water heater and suggested we keep an eye on it. He also addressed a concern we had about the garbage disposal. He tightened some screws and again suggested we keep an eye on it. No pressure at all. He did provide quotes to address both potential issues. The leak in the water heater grew progressively worse. I called other professional plumbing companies and did not find anyone that would save us much over what LD Smith quoted. We reached out and Mason was on-site ...

We had a wonderful experience with Mason. He checked out our sump pump and water softener and replaced our water heater. He was very polite and respectful and kept us informed along the way. No complaints at all — he did a great job! Nick was also here assisting, and he was great as well.
Bill MacLafferty
I had a superlative experience with L.D. Smith on an exterior water main shut-off replacement and internal shut-off valve replacement and repair. This was performed through a UtilityShield claim (now run through HomeServe).
First things first... I tried other companies, and even big names (aka Gluf Plumbing), thought that repairing a water shut off in the water main pit wasn't "code" or "frowned upon" by Citizens Energy. This is simply not true.
Second, L.D. Smith managed to work with HomeServe, so they must have the patience of a saint. Home warranty companies are nearly universally bad in my ...

Very positive experiences this week with 3 visits from L.D. Smith plumbers. First, Tim came out regarding a slow floor drain. He was thorough and helpful in explaining my options. Next, Jacob was here to replace the kitchen faucet and one of the water shutoff valves. His work was great and he gave extra effort in his cleanup of the existing hard water stains. 2 days later Tim returned with Mark to perform the drain cleaning. Their work was excellent. Mark then stayed to talk over some other plumbing concerns in my 100 year old house and was very helpful. He followed ...

Mason did a great job! He was knowledgeable, honest, and easy to talk to. I appreciated how comfortable he made the whole process. While my issue wasn’t fully resolved, he offered options I could try. They also gave me a courtesy inspection, which I really appreciated. I would gladly use their services again in the future.
