We had another great experience with Ira Hansen and Sons Plumbing. They replaced our water heater in August of 2021. We recently noticed a delay in getting hot water. It took longer than normal. We called Ira Hansen one day ago and they promptly scheduled an appointment for this morning between 11:00 & 12:00. We were pleasantly surprised when their plumber, Shae Vetter, called to let us know he had a cancellation and could come earlier.

When he arrived he quickly inspected our system, determined the issue and immediately repaired it. We were impressed with his knowledge of plumbing. He was also very articulate and pleasant. He represented Ira and Hansen Plumbing very well. If you have a plumbing issue, call Ira and Hansen Plumbing. You will be very pleased with their service!

I have used Ira Hansen Plumbing a number of times, they installed all the plumbing at my business and also recently helped me out with getting an old swamp cooler working again. Biondo did an amazing job- fast, efficient, courteous! Thank you so much! Ira Hansen Plumbing is 100% reliable and honest, always show up on time and they seem to be able to start work right away without a long wait, an absolute rarity these days. My one and only plumbing company in Reno! Thanks again.

We have used Ira Hansen and sons multiple times over the past 3 years with the most recent being today. They are always on time, professional, clean and efficient. Our plumber today was Shawn B and he did an excellent job cleaning out our line from the dishwasher to the air gap. He also inspected a gas line connection for us and gave it a clean bill of health.

Sean M. recently replaced our mainline water supply at our home in Reno. Due to a recently deceased family member, the house sat vacant while we repaired multiple items. Sean understood how difficult it was for us to manage our projects from across the country so he constantly provided photos and updates while remaining available by cell at all times. The project ended up becoming very complex and required constant change orders to fix irrigation valves, irrigation leaks, and every other little problem that arises from a vacant home. Sean was patient throughout and did not use it as an opportunity to take advantage of us. Service remained prompt and fairly priced. We'll use Sean for all of our required services going forward.

We had a very positive experience with Ira Hansen and Sons Plumbing. Sean Simpson replaced our 19 year old water heater today. He was very knowledgeable, conscientious and accountable. He took the time to come early to inspect our old water heater to determine the specific parts he needed. He also kept us apprised of when he would be returning to do the actual installation, and his progress along the way. He represents Ira Hansen and Sons Plumbing very well and we will definitely contact them again for any future plumbing needs!

Sean S relocated a gas line for us that was obstructing one of our basement windows. He did a great job and was professional, prompt and easy to work with. Thank you!

Our technician, Shawn B., was outstanding! Not only did he replace our water heater; he redid the supports, and all the plumbing lines. Our home was brought up to code, and we got a very fair price. Highly recommend! Service: Boiler installation
