Every story below starts with a real review from a Harrisburg customer, followed by what the job actually involved. No stock photos, no made up numbers, just honest work fixed right the first time at a fair, flat price.
Finally, a plumber I can trust. I had a leaky drain pipe that needed fixed, so I went online to search for a plumber. As I was scrolling through, I had already used most of them and was either overcharged, or they would take extended time to find parts so they could charge me more. But not this guy. He got the job done right, and at a fair price. I will use him for all my plumbing issues and will recommend him to everyone. He will not overcharge and will not take advantage of you. He also took before and after pictures of what he did. I then used him again for another issue, and before he came he asked me to send pictures of what needed to be done so that no time was wasted. Save yourself a headache and just use this guy.

The Problem
Lana had a leaky drain pipe and had been burned before. She had tried several plumbers over the years and felt overcharged, or watched them stretch a simple job by hunting for parts to raise the bill. She wanted an honest plumber who would fix it once at a fair price.
What We Found
We located the leaking section of drain pipe and the worn fitting behind it. In many older Harrisburg homes, drain leaks come from corroded metal pipe or a joint that has loosened over the years.
What We Did
We replaced the failing section, tested the line, and gave Lana one flat price before starting, with no padding and no parts runaround. We took before and after photos so she could see exactly what was fixed.
The Result
Lana now calls us for all her plumbing. On her second job, she sent photos ahead at our request, so we arrived ready and wasted no time. In her words, she finally found a plumber she can trust who will not overcharge or take advantage of you.

Did a great job removing the old water heater then installing the new one.
— Ngoc Nguyen, Google Review
The Problem
Ngoc needed an old water heater removed and a new one installed. An aging tank that is rusting, leaking, or no longer keeping up with hot water is one of the most common calls we get in older Harrisburg homes.
What We Found
The existing unit had reached the end of its life. A standard tank heater lasts about 8 to 12 years before sediment and corrosion take over.
What We Did
We removed the old water heater, installed a new one sized for the home, connected and tested it, and hauled the old unit away. We gave a flat price up front and finished the work in one visit.
The Result
Ngoc had hot water back the same day, with clean work and no surprises. The verdict was simple: a great job removing the old unit and installing the new one.

He was on time, the price was great, and he helped with other things. I love that I can use the dishwasher, and the sink in the kitchen works great. If anyone needs a plumber, call him. His work is nice. Thank you again.
— T. Cobb, Google Review
The Problem
T. Cobb had kitchen plumbing that was not working right. The dishwasher and the kitchen sink both needed attention, and a few other small items had piled up.
What We Found
Kitchen problems often come down to the drain line, the dishwasher connection, or the supply and shutoff under the sink. We checked each one to find what was actually wrong.
What We Did
We fixed the kitchen sink, restored the dishwasher connection, and handled the other items while we were there, so it was all done in one trip. We arrived on time and gave a fair, flat price.
The Result
T. Cobb can use the dishwasher and the kitchen sink again, both working great. As the review puts it, he was on time, the price was great, and the work is nice.

He was very professional. He kept working until he found all the problems. We had several. Honest gentleman and affordable. I would recommend him to everyone I know. We will definitely use Focht Johnston again for all of our plumbing needs.
— Sandy Mccluskey, Google Review
The Problem
Sandy's home had more than one plumbing problem. Some plumbers fix the obvious issue and leave the rest, or stop short and never come back. Sandy needed someone who would track down everything that was wrong.
What We Found
Older homes often have several small problems at once, a slow drain here, a worn fitting there, a fixture that is past its prime. We worked through the home and found each one rather than stopping at the first.
What We Did
We kept going until every problem was found, explained what we found, and gave one honest, flat price to fix it all. Nothing was left behind for a second call.
The Result
Sandy got every problem fixed in one visit by an honest plumber at a fair price, and the family plans to use Focht Johnston Plumbing for all of their plumbing needs.
