In Hawaii Kai, word of mouth is everything. People tend to believe the names their neighbors swear by when something goes wrong with the plumbing. Want to know what makes a plumber Hawaii Kai special? What those who live here say in their own words:
“When our water heater broke on a Friday night, I thought we’d have to wait until Monday. But our Hawaii Kai plumber picked up straight away and fit us in on Saturday morning. We had hot showers back at noon. You can’t get it from a huge firm on the mainland!
—Kaleo, Koko Head
“I tried to fix a leaking toilet three times, but it always came back. My neighbor told me about a plumber who lives a few blocks away. He came on time, told me exactly what was wrong, and even changed the wax ring just to be safe. Not a single drop in months.
—Leilani, Mariners Ridge
“The salt air seriously messed up our exterior hose bib. With just one call, the plumber came with the proper part. There was no waiting and no last-minute trips to town. He even told us how to keep the pipes in our garden from rusting. We only trust people who live here and know the area well.
—Mark, Hawaii Kai Marina
“When we moved into our old house, a friend gave us the number of their plumber as if it were gold.” Fair estimates, very kind people, and no mess left behind. It seems like you’re hiring a neighbor instead of a stranger.
—Katie, Hahaione Valley
“Our laundry room flooded with the last big rain. In the storm, the plumber came out, found a hidden clog, and didn’t leave until everything was operating and the surrounding was dry. He even came back the next day to make sure we were still okay. That type of care is hard to find.
—Sam, Portlock
