Our sewer had backed up into the house. Ugh, not nice!!! American plumbing came out immediately to assess the situation which called for a new sewer pipe to be installed in our front yard & through the driveway to the street. All the workman required to do this were professional & efficient. This large repair went very smoothly, we were very pleased with the excellent and prompt service we received. I chose this business because of their good reviews and I was not disappointed.

Absolutely amazing service! One of the restrooms in our office starting leaking and the shut off valve was breaking making for a very messy situation. I got an immediate response from Rich who made sure to get us scheduled in for that same day. He was courteous and thorough and even sent us notifications when he was on the way. He immediately addressed the issue and was able to fix everything right then and there on the spot. None of this go get another part response that you get with so many other repair companies. He discussed what he was doing every step of the way and the cost so we were comfortable and confident we weren't being taken advantage of. Needless to say, we will ONLY be using American Plumbing for any of our plumbing needs!!

I read quite a few reviews before picking up the phone to schedule a trip to fix a clogged sink. Even the best reviews can't guarantee a business is going to be all that and more.
I don't need to look any further if I have more issues in the future. These guys will always be my go to company now. They went above and beyond to accommodate my work schedule. Knowing I would have to leave work for them to fix my problem, they gave me a heads up a few hours in advance, and then again when they were on the way. THAT is huge in my book.
I cannot recommend this company highly enough. You will just have to see for yourself why they have earned all the great reviews. You will not be disappointed!

I just had American Plumbing & Rooter out for the second time - they were to my house within 20 minutes of my call and fixed my problem within 5 minutes. My garbage disposal fix was discounted, because this company understands the importance of customer service. I will continue to contact them for these needs as they are very fair - would definitely recommend.

I found American Plumbing and Rooter when searching Yelp to fix a leaky shower valve. When I called the company but didn't leave a voice mail, Rich quickly called me back a few minutes later. He listened to my problem, asked questions, explained the different scenarios that could be happening, and gave me an estimate over the phone. After texting him a photo of the problem, we exchanged a few texts back and forth. I appreciated his helpful advice and customer service. When Jake arrived for the job, he was on-time and professional. He explained what he was going to do, showed me his work afterward, and cleaned up. I will be using this company for another job soon. Thanks, Rich and Jake!

Great company! Great service!

I was purchasing a home and the inspector recommended we get a sewer line scope due to the mature trees in the yard and the complications that can arise from roots. Due to time restrictions on the inspection period when buying a house, I needed to find someone that could get it done in a hurry. Rich, the owner, answered first thing and was able to fit me in the following morning. He talked me through the specific procedure over the phone and was very reasonable compared to the other companies I quoted.

Once he was at the property, he went above and beyond to communicate his status and the results because I wasn't able to be there. He described in good detail what he saw and even sent me pictures via text message. Will definitely be the first company I call for any future plumbing needs I have.

I was quoted $800 worst case scenario based off the information I gave them. A Panera arrival they determined it would cost $150.

Rich and team were fantastic in providing me options and explaining what specific pieces were needed and why. Rich even provided me with an understanding of what I needed to to to maintain my water heater in the Arizona climate, which no one bothered to explain to me. I have found a great plumber who does great work and helps me avoid unnecessary costs! Thanks Rich!

We had kind of an emergency situation with a shower faucet that would shut off. I spoke with the owner and he fully explained what they may need to do including cutting into drywall to get at the plumbing and how much everything could possibly cost. I appreciated the heads up so we could be prepared. They were able to come out same day within a couple hours. Kevin the tech that came was very professional and took care of everything. Now to find a drywall repair.

From the minute I called to the minute my plumber left my house - A+++!!

Rich did some quick explanations and troubleshooting over the phone with me (garbage disposal issues), made suggestions, did not oversell, and worked with my crazy schedule.
The day of, I received text notifications and when Kevin arrived, he was extremely professional, knowledgeable and quick. I couldn't believe how fast the job was done. Took out a garbage disposal, tweaked a leak in the same area, and put in a new GD in NO TIME! Super impressive. Was very careful and conscientious (you know, COVID and all) - wore a mask and slippers, typed in my CC#, signed for me, and was nice to my dog. What more could you ask for? Oh yeah, fair pricing too! You get a Yelp discount if you mention that's how you found them. Call them now! This company is LEGIT.

2/25/2019

We had a leak under our sink. Rich was the first to respond and with the best price hands down! There is no need to waste your time and shop around.
That's not all though! The technician came on time and was clean and answered all my questions!
It's never ideal to have a leak in your house but you are in good hands with these guys!

***I did not receive service.

I did want to review how helpful Rich was...I was on the phone with Rich for 10 minutes, and it was apparent within the first couple of minutes of our conversation that I didn't actually have a plumbing issue, it was an appliance issue. Thanks for spending the time to talk to me knowing I might not patronize American Plumbing and Rooter. If I do ever have a plumbing issue you guys will be the first company I call.

Rich showed up on time and completed the job quickly and as promised. I have rental homes. I will use him on those as needed.

Joanna K.

6/30/2017

I highly recommend this company. I had two handymen waste my time and tell me they couldn't hook up the pipes and my sink with any guarantee it wouldn't flood after. Rich not only quoted me a better price , he showed up on time and did an accurate and good job. He understands what he's doing and I will use him for my future plumbing repairs. The kind of person you'd trust alone in your home unlike a lot of shady repair people.

Michelle S.

5/20/2017

Rich is just so knowledgeable! I was happy to have a partner and friend to help me with my water heater leak. We discussed the pros and cons of fixing vs just replacing heating elements and it made sense to replace the whole water heater. Rich made suggestions for the best replacement. I trusted him. He knew what he was talking about and not trying to sell me something I didn't need. I was so satisfied with the work he has done. I know I will call Rich again if I have any plumbing issues. He is just so straight forward and honest. Thanks Rich and American Plumbing & Rooter. The best experience I have had with any plumbing issue EVER! CALL RICH! 480-888-5213 Pricing was way less than I thought it would be for the quality and guarantee provided by Rich and his company. The best! You must call them with any plumbing problems! You will not regret it!

Rich from American Plumbing was extremely efficient and responsive. He worked with a leak detection specialist to diagnose what I feared was a slab leak. Also very fair pricing. Highly recommend.

12/27/2019

So I detected a possible water leak under the laundry room floor. Looked up companies on Yelp and came across American Plumbing and gave them a call. Unfortunately they don't work in my area. However all was not lost. Rich took the time to listen to my situation and then went on to recommend a local company who could help. He also gave me very valuable information which I didn't think to ask about. If you need work in the Chandler area, call Rich and co.

Kathie L.

10/24/2017

Excellent, timely service! Rich made a special trip to look at my water heater, then installed a new one the next day... He answered my questions and addressed my concerns, which as a woman home owner I especially appreciated. I recommend this company highly, and will use them again for other needs.

Rich over at American Plumbing and Rooter was extremely helpful in my time of need. He went above and beyond explaining what could be causing the hot water in my home to only last for a short period. After several discussions on yelp and text messages, I believe replacing the old water heater was the cause, as he suggested.

I considered his input and after discussing this matter with several other companies and my family, I chose to move forward with another business. However, that in no way undermines the professionalism and courtesy offered by Rich and his company.

Thanks again, Rich!

Needed to get the valves on the washing machine replaced in advance of some remodeling we were getting started on. Rich responded to my request for a quote through Yelp right away and gave me by far the best price of anyone else that responded. I dropped off the radar for a bit with everything going on but Rich was right there and ready to go when I reached back out a few weeks later. He had someone scheduled the same week.

Jake came out on time and ready to work. Funny story, but Jake previously worked for another plumber I had do some work in the past and remembered installing our water heater! He knocked out the job and left the area as clean as he found it (sans the hole in the wall that was necessary to remove the old valves.) I was satisfied with the job, the promptness and the courtesy by all members of Rich's team that I interacted with. I will definitely recommend them to anyone who needs a plumber and will use them again in the future if needed.

Jamie B.

04/03/2023 12:00:00 SA

Very thoughtful and helpful customer service! Although it turned out that American Plumbing and Rooter cannot service my area, the owner was so kind to offer some advice and helpful suggestions as well as referring us to another company who services our area! Super impressed and will definitely recommend to those in their service area!

DO NOT SERVICE SCOTTSDALE. Disregard what they show on the map as a service area, it is incorrect.

I called American Plumbing at 8am with an urgent need to replace two shutoff valves so my contractor could proceed with my floor install.

Rich was at my house by 12pm the same day and quickly replaced the valves. He also pointed out a couple other fixes to prevent leaks and even installed a beautiful new faucet. Rich was friendly, professional, and efficient- I will definitely use American Plumbing again!

My hot water heater pressure relief valve had a steady stream of hot water coming out. Later on, I also found out that I had a faulty ball valve preventing me from being able to flush out the tank. It was Labor Day and I reached out to American Plumbing and Rooter and a few other plumbers via Yelp. Rich responded very quickly. Out of the 3 responses I got on Labor Day, Rich was the only one who started a dialog with me and went through specific questions to really understand what was wrong with my water heater. He also went through the trouble to look up the serial number and figure out that my water heater was still under warranty.

Rich gave me a couple of options and his quote for replacing the pressure relief valve was very competitive with other quotes I was getting (actualy about $20 less). I decided to go with warranty replacement as it was clear my water heater had a ton of scale build up as I did not have a water softener until very recently and the heater had not been flushed or serviced for 4 yrs.

Rich set me up with an appointment and 2 days later, I have a new water heater and everything is working perfectly. Kevin did the installation. He showed up right on time per my appointment and he did a great job explaining what he was going to do. He did a very tidy job overall and the installation was neat and clean.

Near the end of the install, Rich came out to check and make sure everything was done properly and he explained to me how to flush the water heater and what servicing was necessary to keep it running in top shape.

I was concerned that this was going to be a major PITA. Rich and Kevin made this a fast and easy process. The pricing is very competitive and, most importantly, Rich was the only plumber who responded quickly on Labor Day and actually spent quite a bit of time helping me understand my options instead of sending just a one sentence response or some automated response. It's funny that I am still getting Yelp messages from other plumbers two days later when Rich and American Plumbing and Rooter already solved the issue for me!

These guys are awesome!

Easy to work/communicate with Rich, honest and upfront! My water heater was not woking and the technician came and first tried with the pilot light reset, worked ! charged only for $39.00 for the trip, no service charge. Also, the technician had his MASK on all the time.

I recently bought an older house. I knew the pressure regulator outside the was old. I yelped plumbers and found AP&R. I wish I remembered the tech's name. I'm telling you, This guy is a professional!!! He replaced the meter, water faucet and everything. Water pressure is way better.
Great customer service!
Thank you for everything!!!

Hi,
Want to thank Rich for his outstanding service installing my Rheem water heater. I requested big name plumbing companies for a bid. They came to my house with an aptitude they were the only companies that could do the hot water heater project. They tried to make a big deal of a small job. Rich came out as he said he would on time and very clean. He quoted me the job at a reasonable price. We set up a date and time and he was on time again. He accomplished the job in a professional and timely manner. I highly recommend his company and his service.

My husband and I needed a new toilet, and originally purchased one from the online mega retailer we all know, thinking we could check reviews beforehand, then ask American Plumbing to install it. As is often the case in life, all did NOT go according to plan. Only the tank portion of the toilet arrived, and we didn't even know the bottom part missing until the plumber unpacked things! He put me on the phone with Rich, who was able to offer an even better replacement than the one we tried to purchase from the mega-site. A short time later we were back in business again.

Having worked with this company twice now, I won't be returning to online shopping (or any other plumber for that matter) for anything they may be able take care of. It's difficult to know who you can trust these days, but we've been very happy with this company. It appears that not all the good ones are gone :-) Thanks Rich !

Hyla S.

8/23/2017

Rich was honest and informative. I feel comfortable knowing the honest truth about my current plumbing issue. He didn't try to upsale, or deceive me with any band aid or short fix treatment. I will recommend this company to my friends and family.

Darren W.

Rich was great to work with. He tells it like it is; doesn't upsell; and will not do a job if he doesn't think it's necessary. I would highly recommend him.

Noticed our water heater was leaking at 7 in the morning. Rich was out within 30 minutes. He examined the unit, explained everything in best detail. He got it replaced and going within 2 hrs. So thankful for his quick response and honesty. The damage could've been alot worse if he didn't act quickly.

Vishal W.

10/10/2019 12:00:00 SA

Rich was extremely communicative and responsive. Even Over the weekend. And then on Monday, he ensured he got me scheduled ASAP given our emergency of no hot water and him and his team did an excellent job. Very respectful and experienced team. His pricing was also very reasonable, straight forward and all inclusive. Thank you Rich and team!!

Gabriela G.

03/01/2018 12:00:00 SA

We had a plumbing problem, I utilized Yelp and felt most comfortable with Rich during my correspondence with several plumbers. He came to our home but realized our problem was beyond his company's capabilities. Rich was honest about that and discounted every service that he provided - even the service call.

I would definitely feel comfortable recommending or using American Plumbing & Rooter!

Justin T.

7/17/2019

Very pleased with the new hot water heater, water softener and R/O system that Jake and Rich installed here today. Rich was very responsive through Yelp messenging and gave me simple, straightforward info and quotes and followed through very quickly when I was ready to have everything installed. Jake was helpful in answering questions about maintaining each system and was very thorough in the initial visit when he diagnosed the water heater issue.

I would definitely recommend this company to others. Thanks!

Max H.

11/04/2017 12:00:00 SA

Great service! Rich came out one morning when our toilet and shower were overflowing and handled everything promptly and efficiently. I really appreciated how thorough Rich was and his equipment shows you very clearly what the issues are so he's not forcing anything you don't need. Very transparent and I'll be sure to call again should any issues arise!

Jaclyn B.

12/14/2020

Rich was absolutely fantastic throughout the whole process. I messaged via Yelp on a Sunday morning and he replied within 10 minutes. He was able to come out on that following Tuesday and was extremely transparent about the whole process. There was a slab leak and the leak location company they work with was fantastic as well. The fix he did avoided jackhammering up our tile and all that remains is minimal drywall repair. We also got a few other maintenance items taken care of as well. I would highly, highly recommend them for your repairs. Very reasonably priced and the transparency on what needed to be done was so key. I will definitely call them again for any future repairs.

American Plumbing was awesome! They gave me an accurate call ahead time and Jake was right on time. He was helpful and answered all my questions. Jake walked me through everything he was doing and everything looks great. I will definitely use their service again.

Jocelyn C.

10/26/2017

Rich at American Plumbing and Rooter is reliable, honest and extremely professional. He has replaced my hot water heater, as well, as a corroded pipe in my upstairs shower. Both times he was a pleasure to work with and did a great job. Plus, his prices are extremely reasonable. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who has plumbing needs.

Kevin A.

02/03/2020 12:00:00 SA

I contacted American Plumbing and Rooter for a quote for a drain odor I was having in the master bath. Rich responded right away and asked several question that led me to a fix I could do on my own. I really appreciated the fast response and helpfulness that Rich provided. Needless to say, the next time I need a plumber you know who I will call.

Meg H.

9/23/2019

My fiancé loved the convenience of requesting a quote and setting up an appointment through Yelp! I was given a call in advanced to let me know someone would be arriving within 30 minutes.

The two gentleman that showed up to check out our leaky toilet introduced themselves and got right to work making sure to double check that I understood the quote, pricing and checking in with me on any other issues they saw once they started working. I'd highly recommend them!

Pablo A.

08/01/2022 12:00:00 SA

We dealt with the owner directly on our visit. We found Rich to be very personable and friendly. He arrived on time with no delays. He explained what he thought the problem was in a very concise manner. We found him to be very respectful and honest. Rich was Great company and did not try up charge or attempt to perform any unnecessary tests. He Offered to wear booties for shoes and a mask inside. Overall, very happy with his service!

Ken C.

08/07/2019 12:00:00 SA

5 stars & I never even saw them in person. Had an issue with a pipe that I couldn't get to stay on with the water turned on. Called them, they came the next day while I was at work. Fixed it before I got home, & I paid over the phone. Very communicative, friendly, & reasonable. I'll call them again.

Jess F.

7/31/2022

These guys are fantastic....We ran into a rather unique situation but they continued to work the problem until we found an appropriate solution. Even when that meant the owner coming out to our home late on Friday afternoon. Fair prices, great communication and great service. Highly recommend!

John M.

4/18/2018

Rich is excellent! It's easy to see that his work is very well done, but I think what sets him apart is his honesty and fairness. Not only did he charge me LESS than he originally quoted, but he also told me that I did NOT need to do another job I was worried about. I don't know too many service providers who do stuff like this. He'll be my go-to from now on and I will be happy to recommend him to anyone.

JOE E.

06/01/2017 12:00:00 SA

We used the service for washer valve replacement. The work included cutting the copper tube and welding a new valve. We got a quote within minutes from first phone call and a service window. The service was done in no time, full explanation and good clean work. We are happy with the service.

Chris S.

6/19/2020

What a great and honest company to deal with and such a refreshing change from everybody else. What I thought would be a nightmare job replacing a toilet flange that was completely rusted through ended up being a reasonable job that got done quickly. Great service and communication

Patrick K.

11/27/2019

Rich was great to work with from the start. I called to talk about replacing my water softener. He explained the options and what was important to consider, and recommended a softener that I purchased. Rich and Kevin showed up on time as promised and did a great job with the installation. The price was competitive from the research I did. He explained how to operate the unit and took the old one away. Very professional in his communications with me. I will use American again for any plumbing needs.

David M.

8/30/2021

I called American Plumbing and Rooter concerning a leak around a toilet base. I was given an estimate of what it would take to fix the leak and the approximate cost. Within two hours, a plumber was at the door and replaced a flange and wax seal. The plumber was efficient and professional and all work was completed in about an hour. I've had several different plumbing companies perform various work over the years and have been disappointed with all of them. I think I have a new, go-to company for any future plumbing needs...
American Plumbing!

Seow L.

9/28/2021

Our 7-year old water heater started to leak. I requested for multiple quotes on Yelp. American Plumbing is quick to respond and provide a competitive quote. While the price is not the lowest, Rich is very responsive to questions, and transparent about the work, such as providing the exact model of the water heater that will be installed. Because of that, I decided to go with them. They showed up early morning the 2nd day as promised, and get the replacement done in an hour. Rich also provided tips about how to maintain the water heater. Overall, a good experience!

Laura S.

07/02/2017 12:00:00 SA

Fantastic service!! Rich not only showed up when he said he would but also contacted me ahead of time to confirm his arrival. He not only fixed the original issue I called him for, but educated me in some other plumbing concerns and questions I had. He spent a lot of time really checking everything that I needed done and was extremely competent and professional. He also explained to me what he was doing. I don't give referrals or recommendations unless I truly believe in the company, owner and service. I highly recommend Rich and his company.

Gareth B.

6/23/2018

While reviewing a plumbing company wasn't a high priority for me, for obvious reasons...I had a plumbing question. Google could only get me half way there. I called up American Plumbing and was greeted by a pleasant man (I don't recall his name, for this story we'll call him Luigi). He answered my question regarding my new home and a bad odor coming from my laundry room. He didn't seek out profit or jump to ordering a plumber to come over. He simply answered my question and made me feel better about the situation. That's some good CS! You the man, Luigi!

Angie Z.

12/15/2020

American Plumbing tru s to save me some cash by helping me out by first providing me with directions on how to change the PSI myself. However the regulator appeared to be bad. We scheduled a time that would work for us both to find out that the regulator was on the wrong side. The plumber was professional, up front, not pushy and provided the pros and possible cons due to the old plumbing.

Arbi B.

6/23/2020

Excellent service, professional work, fast and on time. We will definitely use their services in the future.

Richard V.

10/31/2017

This morning I had my water heater go out. I called several places and was quoted more than $1000. Then I called American Plumbing and Rooter, I received a much lower price quote, I asked if they could come out today, and they were at my house an hour later. Rich completely only replaced what was needed and nothing more. Excellent prices and excellent service. I will definitely be using American Plumbing and Rooter for any future plumbing needs.

Lia B.

5/22/2019

After attempting to have other plumbing companies to even call me back, Rich was prompt, professional and transparent the entire time. We had suspected an underslab leak, but there was no evident signs other than our meter rapidly running (3-5 gallons/minute!) and hearing the water running in the pipes when nothing was on in the house. Rich came out and confirmed what was going on, and scheduled me the next day to have a leak locator come out. They were able to locate the leak Tuesday, gave me some time to have cabinetry pulled and fixed the leak by noon on Wednesday.
The entire time Rich and Jake were punctual, professional and very honest with what they were finding. Even their leak locator was answering questions for us we hadn't even thought to ask. Prior to fixing the leak on Wednesday they performed a temporary fix Tuesday so we could still have water in the rest of our house and not have to worry about the leak.
There was no salesman pressure to have American Plumbing finish the job. We were absolutely given the opportunity to shop around and use other plumbers. Working for a general contractor, I was able to tell his pricing was more than fair and he was 100% transparent about all costs. There were no hidden fees or anything. The number he told me is what I ended up paying. Even better - he honored a discount that I was not aware of, AND he reduced the cost of the overall job because it went better and quicker than expected.

Short of the long: Rich and Jake are honest and professional, who made us feel like we were being well taken care of. Not once during the entire problem or repair did we feel like we didn't really know what was going on or that we were dealing with a shady business. We will definitely be using them again for any future plumbing needs. Just hopefully not any time soon! Thank you Rich & Jake!

Rocky R.

02/08/2019 12:00:00 SA

The company was quick at responding and communicating with us prior to the appointment to keep us updated on cost and possible fixings that would occur via picture and yelp messaging which was extremely helpful to budget and schedule. Once here, the worker (sorry my husband did not catch his name) did an excellent job in repiping and explaining to my husband what was going on and what needed to be fixed prior to the work so we knew what to expect. It was fast, convenient, and done well. This company will now be our go to plumbers!

Eric S.

05/03/2018 12:00:00 SA

Rich was very clean and professional. He was upfront about all the costs along with different scenarios for how the job could go. He called about twenty minutes before arriving. Also, he carries many supplies with him, so there was no parts run. The bathroom was left as clean as he found it.

Ashley K.

10/10/2019 12:00:00 SA

I contacted American Plumbing about some mystery dry rot we noticed in a weird spot. The owner responded to me almost immediately and troubleshooted with me via Yelp messenger to see if he could figure out what was going on before giving me a quote to come to the house. He was honest and let me know that he did not believe it was a plumbing issue after all and even offered to refer me to a different company who may be able to help. I will definitely use them for any future plumbing issues we may have!

Called these guys about a possible faulty pressure regulator. They were able to help me over the phone to get it dialed in. Real nice guys and will definitely do business with again! Plumbers can be real sketchy and it was nice to find ethical and straightforward people!

Very happy with this company. Rich answers the phone not a machine, and gets right back to you if you text him. He is very informative and ford quality work. This will be our plumbing company from now on.

Needed a plumber to troubleshoot a slow bath drain. Rich got back to me right away and we scheduled a Saturday appointment, which many places won't do. The job was anything but typical but Rich showed up on time and used a camera line to actually see what was going on. He then used an auger to clean the line. After that he tested it to make sure the problem was solved. I appreciated his expertise and honest opinions when it came to this job. On top of that, the cost was very reasonable. I would highly recommend Rich and American Plumbing to anyone and will definitely be calling them again in the future when needed.

We had an odor that occasionally came from two separate drains. We self treated but came back. Rich the owner gave us guidance and several scenarios. This company had very good reviews and between Rich and a very efficient technician plumber Kevin they took care of it in a speedy and cost effective manner. I would use again and recommend to family and friends.

After being completely stumped as to why an upstairs toilet would constantly clog, I finally broke down and looked for a plumber. After getting several quotes, Rich was the only one that really took the time to ask questions and come up with some ideas. We made an appointment for him to come out and not only did he showed up, but was able to come a little early. Since my wife was here and not me, I notice I got an email receipt pretty quick. Wife called and said our girls apparently flushed a deodorant stick down the toilet . Rich was able to get it out pretty quick! I appreciate the time he took to ask questions and was able to get the toilet working the way it should again. I highly recommend this company for your plumbing repairs and will call them again next time I need something!

Out of town and water heater started leaking a little. Called these guys when we got home and they came the next morning, first thing before it became a big problem. They installed the water heater in no time at all and sooner than anyone else could promise at a better price. Both installers were polite, professional and friendly.

Peace of mind is priceless in and of itself. What you get with American Plumbing and Rooter is peace of mind AND confidence in a job expertly done. All at very fair and competitive prices. The team there is absolutely wonderful. They are cordial, they are professional, and they just know what their doing. They work incredibly hard and communicate clearly what needs to be done. There is no substitute in the Phoenix area for experts like them. Their prices are incredibly competitive, they are timely and they just do the job right. I highly suggest them!!! With Rich and his team you will not be disappointed. All of your plumbing needs will be taken care of there's just no substitute for peace of mind and a professional job done. I'll be calling them again, if I ever need a plumber again.

Impressed!! Called yesterday, I explained the problems that needed repair. Rich explained the process involved to make the repairs and quoted cost. Gave me a two hour time window for the next morning and said they would call 30 minutes prior. Everything done as promised and very efficiently. Jake was the plumber and he was awesome. Thank you!!

Jeff P.

2/28/2022

Rich at American Plumbing really saved us! Hot water heater went out and he made sure we had the part to fix it as soon as possible. He was very responsive and even went out of his way to check in on us and see how we were doing with the problem. Highly recommend working with this great company. Very flexible and pleasant to work with!

2nd time I have used American Plumbing- this time for a clogged drain. Great communication, reasonable rates, and gets the job done right. Highly recommend!

Rich put in a toilet and a hot water heater for me, he's very straight forward and did a great job. Highly recommend.

Dee M.

10/18/2019

Rich answered the phone (I called 4 other plumbers and left messages and they didn't return my call), was professional and showed up on time when he said he would. I highly recommend this company and grateful to have a plumber I can trust.

Andrea K.

08/02/2021 12:00:00 SA

Upon seeing the photos of the repair I needed they were up front in regards to worst case scenario, they checked on warranty status, and were able to schedule my work very quickly. I appreciated how thoroughly he explained the work to me and how quick he got it done. I'll definitely be keeping their card handy!

Travis H.

12/27/2018

The owner, Rick, let me schedule via text, tech showed up on time, more than fair pricing and they didn't charge for one of my issues that was minor. They also noticed a separate issue with water pressure and adjusted my regulator on the spot and free of charge - great to have a company that wants to do right by you rather than squeeze you. And easy credit card payment on tablet with emailed receipt on the spot. I recently returned for a separate issue and had a repeat awesome experience. Fully recommend.

Jennifer C.

2/27/2019

Rich was extremely helpful with my plumbing needs. Spent time on the phone with me to address the issue as well was able to receive pics via text to confirm the issue. Scheduling was very reasonable and was reassured that if the need became more emergent to call back and they would see what they could do. He arrived early to the job with a call to me ahead of time, explained each step he was taking, and was great with honest recommendations. 2 jobs completed in one visit. Thorough and cleaned up after. Would highly recommend this company!

Adrian D.

4/13/2018

Rich was the best plumber I have ever used. He was knowledgeable, professional, extremely polite, and took his time without taking too much. He will be my go to plumber from here on out!

Jana J.

5/29/2019

I had a bad leak in the pipe leading to the hose bib and had never used a plumber at this house, so I went on Yelp and found APAR in Chandler. They had great reviews so I gave them a call. They were able to come out the next day and fix the leak. It was a lot more work than we thought it would be, but the price was very fair given the number of hours it took to make the repair. Very professional. I will definitely use them again.

Eddie M.

09/11/2020 12:00:00 SA

I have used American Plumbing twice this summer. I have had a hot water heater & an outdoor spigot (requiring soldering) replaced. On both occasions Rich was easy to reach, communicated great, scheduled me quickly (within 2 hours for the spigot), and outbid competitors on prices. The work quality was great too. Definitely recommended.

Nancy P.

05/01/2023 12:00:00 SA

Excellent service!!

We ran into a snag while trying to DIY a toilet replacement in our master bathroom over the weekend. Rich took our call on Sunday evening and was here first thing Monday morning to help us out.

Fair price, great communication, timely appointment, and great customer service! Next time we'll be skipping the DIY thing and calling Rich for our plumbing projects instead!

Scott W.

10/29/2020

Very friendly and great service. Arrived at the appointment exactly on time. Tech followed up with me on clog and described in camera where issue was. Did not try to upsell me on any further service, just to continue with some maintenance cleaner for the future. I would recommend them highly as friendly and honest.

Josh C.

12/13/2018

I called APAR up to get a quote after another plumber gave me a high estimate. Rich came out that week and gave an estimate that was half of the original quote.
One of the reasons why I chose APAR was because Rich wasn't trying to pressure me into needing any work, or scaring me that my house would flood otherwise, and he was patient.
Got an appointment scheduled, they came out, did their work, took a look at a few other things, got that squared away and scheduled a soft water install.
They also let me watch the things they were doing and ask all the questions that I had. Rich and Jake answered my questions and were very helpful. I am glad to have found my go-to plumber .

Kevin came right on time and efficiently unclogged both the bathroom lav and the laundry slow drain. Very kind, polite, and professional. Plus his helper was great too.

Kristi S.

02/11/2021 12:00:00 SA

Great service!! We discovered that our water would suddenly not get warmer than lukewarm while taking a shower last night. I contacted this company for a quote based on their positive Yelp reviews. So glad we did! We had a new water heater pumping out hot water by 1230 today. Rich was quick to respond, schedule, and get the project done for a more than reasonable price. I can be back to taking my scalding showers by tonight. Ha! Don't hesitate to use this company and we will definitely use them for any future plumbing needs.

Hassaan I.

Worked with Rich, and found him to be very knowledgeable, helpful, and honest. Will definitely continue to use them whenever we might need plumbing assistance.

Steve S.

09/01/2022 12:00:00 SA

I am a repeat customer. American Plumbing and Rooter replaced my water heater and water main shutoff valve. The team was efficient, clean and reviewed the work with me.

Then, I requested services from APnR for my bathroom sink and shower. Kevin showed up at 7:15AM sharp, I walked him through the issues and requests and he went straight to work. He kept the work area clean and was done by 8:30AM.

Rich, who I assume is the owner, responded to all my requests in a timely manner. He even responded at midnight through email to let me know Kevin will be showing up at 7:15AM.

Excellent team and quality service!

Thad F.

02/05/2018 12:00:00 SA

They are very timely. Rich came in and fix the issue within 10 minutes. Explained the issue and gave me a couple of options on how to fix it. I'll definitely be calling if any else happens.

Lauren G.

05/09/2018 12:00:00 SA

Rich was absolutely amazing! He was helpful and understanding. He even sent me pictures and videos since I wasn't home at the time of the repair. I was genuinely impressed and so appreciate of the care he took with me and my appointment!

Chinh N.

5/23/2023

Very good customer service. I didn't end up working with them because of personal reasons but they were so nice to detect my hot water tank problem and give me solution to fix it. Probably choose them in the future.

Ronald K.

12/26/2018

I called Rich to get a bid for a plumbing problem that I have. Rich was straight forward, asked the appropriate questions and did not rush our conversation. After he fully understood my specific problem, Rich said that I would be better served by a different company. At my request, Rich provided me with a referral. I called the referral and, as Rich suggested, the referral company said they could solve my problem and quoted me a reasonable cost. I like that Rich did not waste my time or his. If you want an honest, straight forward company, call American Plumbing. I definitely will call them for my future needs.

Ady F.

01/11/2023 12:00:00 SA

Punctual, knowledgeable, great service. Our go to going forward for all plumbing related issues. While having work done to unclog a drain, our water heater started leaking. American Plumbing came back the next day and replaced it. Great prices and service.

Gary H.

6/19/2023

I was doing my annual Water Heater flush and I could not get it to lite. I called American Plumbing and Rooter and they sent someone over free of charge to see if they could get it lit for me since I was a customer. The technician showed up within an hour and my water heater was good to go. They provide exceptional service and expertise.

James B.

07/06/2022 12:00:00 SA

We had American Plumbing replace our front spigot and replace the valve that feeds our pool leveler in back. They also pulled out an old Reverse Osmosis System under a kitchen sink and fixed a bathroom sink faucet. I highly recommend American Plumbing based on our experience today. They called before they came, they showed up on time, and we're very professional and personable. Also, importantly, they charged us what they quoted us over the phone, even though they had to do a little bit extra work to make it all right. We are located in Gilbert and I would definitely use these guys again. Thank you American Plumbing.

Jason B.

07/07/2020 12:00:00 SA

I use American Plumbing for all of my plumbing needs. Rich and the guys have helped me with laundry room piping issues as well as water valves throughout the house. American also installed my water softener which we absolutely love. American does the job right and if you aren't satisfied they will do whatever it takes to make you completely satisfied. Highly recommend American Plumbing and Rooter.

Maureen P.

07/09/2019 12:00:00 SA

As honest as they come.
Our sewer has backed up twice in a month. So gross!!! Now, it's July 3rd and almost everyone is on a 4 day weekend in a matter of hours.
Rich and Jake were out immediately and gave us the bad news...roots in our sewer line. A LOT of roots which will cost A LOT to repair. After he saw the look on my face, Rich gave me a suggestion. They would grind out what roots they could so we could go about our daily routines BUT considering where the problem was, I should contact the City.
As I dealt with the City, Rich contacted a locating service for me. They were on my property in an hour to locate the problem and record a video of the damaged pipe.
Long story short, the city picked up the tab of $15,000! Rich and Jake could have cleared the pipe (or worse, replaced it!), charged us a ton of money and been on their way. Instead, they did what was best for US. We cannot thank Rich and his team enough for their honesty and we will recommend American Plumbing & Rooter to anyone that will listen!

Very quick to respond and email quote. Installation nearly immediate. Super easy to deal with and friendly

Brandon K.

07/05/2018 12:00:00 SA

Highly recommended. I had some last minute plumbing issues I needed to address and I reached out to Rich through Yelp regarding the scope of my project. Rich immediately got back in touch with my email inquiry and gave me insight to the potential causes of the issues I described as well as estimates AND he was able to get me scheduled right away knowing I was working on a tight time frame(Rich - again thank you for this!).

Rich and Jake came out earlier today and addressed all of my plumbing issues(dripping shower heads, water temp issues, installation of a new faucet, reverse osmosis, etc.). Throughout the process, Rich and Jake were highly professional and up front with costs associated with each issue we were rectifying. Rich even brought a new issue to my attention and provided me with a referral for water that was collecting underneath of my shower flooring. I especially appreciated Rich taking the time to elaborate on why he used certain components and did things a certain way - the point being that Rich is honest, thorough and does things the correct way, not the cheap way.

I highly recommend Rich(who is importantly licensed and bonded) for any plumbing needs and will absolutely continue to do business with him moving forward!

Very pleased with Kevin's work today. Not always pleasant to pay the bill, :) but both the workmanship and hardware used were first rate. Would highly recommend. This company will be getting all my business.

Jessica P.

7/19/2017

We had Richie come by to put in a new water valve and pump for some new equipment we will be putting in our laboratory. Not only did Richie show up within an hour of my call for a quote, he was able to actually complete the job as well.

Besides giving us a reasonable price, his customer service was on point. He explained in detail what he was doing to our lab manager, and was also incredibly courteous with the rest of our staff.

Thank you again Richie for hooking us up NY Plumber Style!!!

Niki Elizabeth W.

11/13/2017

Needed a plumber in an emergency for my rental property. Rich was extremely timely getting back to me and came out later that day! The price to come out was reasonable as other services in the area couldn't come out same day. He replaced the pipes in my kitchen as they had rusted, and we did not realize.

Highly suggest Rich and his services!! He was professonal and knew his stuff!

Jare J.

12/30/2022

Excellent quality and pricing for the services they provide. No hassle, no nonsense, just top tier quality professionalism. I've hired them three times for a drain cleaning, faucet replacement, and water heater replacement. Each time they were responsive, on time, and did great work at a fair price. They even taught me a few things on proper maintenance for these products. Couldn't recommend these folks more.

Amazing company. No upselling, just replaced my garbage disposal and off he went. Very professional and clean, wore booties!

Jason W.

11/10/2021 12:00:00 SA

Rich responded to my request for work quickly and was able to get a service tech out within a few hours. Kevin (service tech) was great to work with and had my issue resolved quickly and efficiently. This is the 2nd time I've called on American Plumbing and Rooter and it probably won't be the last. Great job!

Better than expected experience from start to finish! We have Old Republic Home warranty, and we normally just go with whoever they send us (if covered by warranty), but this time, we had to go outside the warranty because the job (replacing an old leaking hose bib and anti-siphon valve connected to the main water valve outside the house) was not covered under our home warranty.

We scoured Yelp for plumbers with solid 5-star reviews, and came up with American Plumbing. Submitted an inquiry online and got a response within hours with an appt for the following Monday morning. Got a heads-up call that they are on their way and were greeted by Keith (??) who gave us his honest opinion with no upsell. We had an option to ride it out until the thing is truly busted but decided on the proactive option (since the parts were all original with some corrosion and things will only get more expensive over time due to inflation). The plumber got to work immediately...got a veteran's discount and the price was amazing!

Overall, my impression is that the company is well-run, efficient, professional (guys who show up on time, give you plenty of heads up before coming, and respect your space by not leaving a mess behind!)...and a keeper! Will come back for future services!!

One request: it would be great if they can also work with home warranty companies (i.e. Old Replublic or American Home Service).

This morning, Monday 09/26/2022 Rich, the owner came out to unclog my Master Bathroom sinks. I phoned him on Sunday and surprisingly he answered his phone and assured me my issues would be ok until Monday morning. He scheduled me for first thing Monday. Rich was EXCELLENT! He showed up on time, asked what the problem was and started working on the issues. He was so neat, clean and very polite. Resolved the problem in no time and explained what I needed to do in the future if I have any issues. Rich gave me an idea of how much things would cost in the future if I need to have those things addressed. Pricing was fair and I really appreciated his honesty about trying to save me money! I highly recommend this local plumber and am proud to support his business. Thank you, Rich - you are truly the BEST!!!! You are definitely my go to company for any plumbing needs.

Nate H.

5/29/2018

Fast response via the app. Called when he said he would and showed up when he said he would. Swapped out my garbage disposal with no issues. Rich is a nice guy who I won't hesitate to call the next time I need a plumber. Definitely recommend.

Scott R.

06/08/2020 12:00:00 SA

Fantastic communication and scheduling. A slot opened up earlier than what was scheduled and they called me to let me know they could arrive early if desired.

The plumber was right on time and quickly fixed my toilet flange issue. He even offered tips on shimming the toilet so I did not have issues when I set it back.

Best of all there were no hidden fees and I was charged exactly what was quoted.

Very happy I went went America Plumbing.

Charles Y.

10/23/2020

American Plumbers came back out and made it right. The height of the valve has been adjusted and the lid sits glat as it should. No complaints ! Thanks guys !

Sebastian S.

Super awesome to work with and straight up friendliness and honest company to get our water heater replaced. Will be calling them again in the future.

Tony D.

08/03/2017 12:00:00 SA

Fast, professional and quality workmanship is the foundation of this company. Based on Yelp reviews I called for a quote and right away knew Rich was honest and was right as rain for this job. My friend's hot water heater failed. Since he was not available to manage the service, he asked that I help. Obligated to find the best service provider for my friend I had absolute confidence it was American Plumbing and Rooter after sending pictures to Rich for him to evaluate the job and produce an objective quote.

I rarely write reviews, but depend on them as one part of my search for most services. So why write a review now you might ask... I think Rich and American Plumbing and Rooter deserve all the prior accolades they received and cannot say enough good things about the whole experience. I will try to post a few pictures so everyone can see the trouble my good friend faced. A rupture was imminent--it was only a matter of when it would happen...

Jane C.

Super professional guys - didn't try to up-sell me on unnecessary work. Will definitely use them again in the future!

Adam C.

12/13/2018

Rich and his team were awesome! Asked for a quote late afternoon on Monday. Rich got back to me a short while later saying he could come out the next morning. He arrived the next morning and reviewed the issues with my water heater system and explained his recommendations perfectly. Didn't make me feel like I was an idiot for not understanding plumbing, like others I have dealt with. The very next morning Jake and Rich arrived and got to work. Jake did an awesome job explaining what they would and did then did it! My system looks brand new! I will call them any time!

Christine B.

9/16/2017

Rich came back and saved the day again. We just moved into a rental home and one morning our entire master bathroom flooded. We called rich and he was Over in less than an hour. He has this crazy camera that goes down pipes. He found a 2x4 in our freaking pipe. I could not believe it. He worked perfectly with my landlord. I came home and it was like nothing happened.

Kirsten G.

5/25/2020

Rich is a lifesaver! My two year old had an accident with his power wheel and managed to run into a pipe outside and break it right in half. Water was gushing everywhere and I was sure we were going to have to keep all the water off until the next day. I gave Rich a call and he was here immediately, fixed it no time. He was professional, friendly and took the stress out of our emergency. We will definitely be calling him again.

Ed M.

1/24/2018

I sent a request for a quote to this company via Yelp and within two minutes I got a phone call back and service set up. These folks are exceptionally professional,reliable, and most importantly they're very honest. When you find a plumbing service like this, you stick with it. Easily my go to plumbing service going forward. 5 Stars.

Janie K.

4/24/2022

After we located a leak in our hot water heater circulation pump pipe, we called American Plumbing because of their great reviews. Add us to the list of happy customers. In short, American Plumbing rocks! They arrived on time, were friendly, had the proper parts and professionally completed our job. Rich timely and politely communicated with us; he willingly answered all of our questions and did everything to made sure we were happy customers. Thank you Rich!

Kevin N.

6/28/2021

Rich and his team are great! I called them for a second opinion after a plumber who the home warranty sent out try to upsell me on services I did not need. Kevin was able to snake a line that 3 other plumbers were unable to do! He put a camera down the line to show me exactly what was happening, proving that the other plumber was trying to upsell me. Rich and Kevin then used a water jet to clear the line all the way back to the sewer connection. I haven't had a problem since. These guys have a well-deserved great reputation and will be my first call for any plumbing needs.

Preston D.

5/25/2018

Great work! They installed a water heater for me today. Learned a lot from listening to the guys. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Highly recommended

Aaron N.

5/28/2019

We picked American because of the reviews and clean look of their pictures. They got us in first the day after a holiday and did nice work on a repair I tried but couldn't handle. Jake was professional, patient, and helpful, as was Rich. We appreciate it and recommend you use them, too!

Melanie S.

07/02/2020 12:00:00 SA

American Plumbing was great. They patiently and carefully listened to the problem I described and came out to fix it within the hour. They quickly and efficiently replaced two parts, solving two separate problems at once, and explained what had happened in easily understandable terms. The price was fair, the service was courteous, and I will definitely use their services again!

Roger M.

8/25/2018

Great job by Rich and his company. His commitment and communication is excellent! Had a toilet and sewer smell problem. Rich showed up on the agreed upon time frame and showed video of the problem and quoted a fair price. Completed the work and cleaned up. I have had issues in the past with other companies not showing up and the work being subpar. But Rich was great and his work was awesome. Will use again for other plumbing issues and installs.

Jennifer P.

9/17/2022

When our water heater went out on us and we had done everything we could try to no avail, we decided it was time to go ahead and call the company on the install sticker (the heater was installed with our houses previous owner). Very first phone call, incredible. I relayed some of the basic information of our problem and the make of our water heater, and was told it was most likely a faulty part that Rheem had done a recall on. I was shocked, but in a good way! I can't stress enough, as many of you know, how refreshing it is to find a company that's not trying to gouge you left and right and take advantage of a situation like this where we were kinda in the dark about the heaters install. We were given a reasonable service charge and our technician went ahead and brought the new part with him just in case that was the only thing wrong with it. Sure enough it was, he popped in the new one and we are back up and running. it's actually been several months since, and I feel so bad but I cannot remember the name of our tech, but he was awesome, professional and super friendly. It's because of companies that are run like this that when we do need a water heater or something else related, we will do our business with them. Thank you guys so much

Tiana G.

Responded to my Yelp quote right away (within minutes) and gave a good analysis quickly based on my pictures. My water tank was very old and was leaking bad in the early morning hours (noticed it before I was on my way to work - 7:30 am). His price was fair based on another quote I received. I decide to have him call me to discuss further and set up a time for him to come out. He was there within the hour. The owner, who I was communicating with, was the one that came and help me out. Very nice guy. Service was quick (removal of broken tank and helped clear out water in the garage). A tech came out the next morning to install the new one. No complaints! Happy with the service and would highly recommended to others.

Jen S.

04/10/2019 12:00:00 SA

They removed my old kitchen faucet and installed a new one. I'm very happy with the service provided. Rich was quick to reply with my questions. I had contacted him through Yelp in the afternoon and they were able to come out the next day (early). They came before the quoted time frame, which was a plus. They made sure to call and text before coming ahead of schedule, of course. The correspondence was prompt, detailed and very polite. The service technician, Jake, was awesome. He uninstalled the old faucet and installed the new one in a snap. The price quoted was very fair. Will reach out to them again for all my plumbing needs and you should too.

It was my first time using a plumber and I am glad to say that I had a pleasant experience. Rich and the team were courteous, knowledgeable and quick to work. Will definitely use them again.

We needed a plumber to confirm if we had any plumbing leaks for our insurance claim for water damage. American Plumbing got us in really fast and the plumber did an awesome job being thorough and offering advice! Highly recommended and will use them again!

RK H.

1/19/2022

We used American Plumbing and Rooter four months ago when our water heater broke and received amazing top notch service! Well they did it again! We had a leak below our sink. We called and they came right out and delivered exceptional service once again! BEST service! BEST experience! Kevin was so friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable. We will never use any other company because American Plumbing & Rooter is the BEST!!!! We are so lucky to have found such a great company with superior service and with great people!

Brad U.

09/04/2020 12:00:00 SA

It's always hard to find honest people you can trust. Your search is over because American Plumbing is a company you can trust. After getting a reduced quote from one of the big plumbing companies in the valley for a new water softener, I called another company that refused to give me a quote. They had to come see it. Finally I called American Plumbing, texted them 4 or so pictures and got a quote in about 10 minutes. I ended up spending $1,200 less and the work was done on time and UNDER my original quoted price. We have found our new plumber for sure. The customer service was impeccable. They deserve every 5 star rating they get.

Shane S.

Rich was awesome, quick service, no hassle and came back a little lower than quoted.

I can't speak highly enough about this company! We had a nasty (really) clogged toilet. I contacted Rich through Yelp and he responded quickly with an approximate price range for the issue along with scheduling to come out as soon as possible. He was fair and honest about everything. He fixed the clog without making us feel embarrassed and he let us know options for what would need to be done eventually (in the future). Not pushy or rushed at all. Definitely recommend using this company for plumbing needs and we will be using them for our future needs!

Rich was awesome. Had an outside plumbing leak and asked for an estimate. Within minutes had my estimate. Wanted to get a another estimate to compare prices and it wasn't even close. Called back and had an appointment that morning. Rich and his team came out and fixed my issue promptly and professionally. We will use Rich and his team for any issues that arise. Found a fair, friendly, and honest plumbing team. Thank You!

Rich and Jake were both wonderful to work with. They were out to replace our water heater within 24 hours of our phone call (and it was not a emergency). During the replacement, we ran into an issue due to how the builder placed the original tank and gas lines. They worked together to sort it out and were able to give us the size tank we needed! Rich even follows up with a personal text and thank you after the work is completed. Very customer service oriented company, which is so hard to find these days!

My water heater went out over the weekend. Rich was very responsive in getting back to me, was articulate in his communication and pricing was very good. He set a time to come out and replace and arrived on time. He and his teammate finished the project in under 2 hours, were clean, and was very informative on maintenance plans and details. I highly recommend Rich and his company.

We had a situation on our house that we didn't know what to do. After being told how expensive it would be by another plumber, I reached out via Yelp Message. Rich got back to me in 13 minutes and scheduled us for the next day. He was able to do a quick process for us and was able to do the work in an hour. He was amazing! We definitely will be reaching out again when and if we need to get more plumbing done.

Responsive came out and quickly knocked out my job. Also have me advice on another job that I could just do myself. Would use again in a heart beat

I had a slow drip in a sink valve. I have found, finally, my go-to plumbing company.
Rich scheduled me for an appointment just 1 to 3 hours after my call. Kevin let me know when he started toward my house. He arrived well within the 2 hour appointment window.
I decided to replace the hot & cold cartridges on two sinks just to avoid having to have a second or third visit. Then one cutoff valve under the sink wouldn't work. I decided to have all four cutoff valves replaced too. (I had what I refer to as scope creep.) Not a word about me requesting 8 times more work messing up his schedule.
Kevin did the entire job in about an hour, including running out to buy the oddball cartridges. He did not miss a step. Everything worked first time. No little drips or leaks to touch up.
I seldom call in professionals to do work and feel I got my money's worth. American Plumbing & Rooter gave me my money's worth. Dollars well spent. In NO WAY too expensive. Outstanding.

I called and left a voicemail describing my issue around 9am. I received I call back in less than five minutes. The man I spoke to was genial, thorough and set up a same day appointment for 10-12. He showed up at 11 and the work was done by 12:30 pm. I never leave reviews, but from initial phone call to job completion was so quick I felt compelled too. I highly recommend. Thanks!

I asked to have my shower drain rooted, but my primary issue was with a knocking coming from my shower. After playing phone tag and never officially scheduling anything, the owner calls me on a Monday to have someone out in a few hours. They arrive and don't even try to fix the knocking but just toot my drains, which is fine. The tech claimed the owner would call me about fixing noise from shower. After a week I reach out and he claims in the 20 years of working on showers he's never worked with my brand. He tells me to reach out to the manufacturer. If you're a plumbing service that's never worked on a brand and refuse to even attempt to work on it, you're lazy and don't belong in this field of work. If you only work on brands you've worked on, eventually you'll be phased out. Was looking for a plumber to rely on for this repair and future ones and this is not the right one at all. Will never use again and wouldn't recommend unless you like not getting things fixed

Rich was amazing! We recently bought a house and discovered our water heater pump was leaking. Rich came out the next day check out the situation, and gave me an estimate on replacing the pump. He also noticed some bad pipe work from whoever installed the water heater originally and gave me an estimate to fix as well. He came back ASAP with the new pump and fixed both the pump and the piping. He was very very thorough and explained everything to me. Moving to a new place can be stressful and finding people you can trust is challenging. His prices were reasonable and his customer service was rockstar! Rich put my fears at ease and is definitely my go to plumber now.

I wanted to give a Shout Out to Rich with American Plumbing. He was very responsive, took the time to answer my questions and completed the project quickly and within the quote he provided. I highly recommend Rich and his company.

Rich graciously responded to my call due to a leak in the water heater. He was able to accommodate a replacement during the first hour of the following day and it was already after hours when I called. He also walked me through what I can do to stop the leak until his team arrived. His team did an excellent job of replacing the unit and answering all the questions I had about the work and the unit. And also guided me through the maintenance process to have the unit live as long as possible. I very much appreciate the quick response and enabling me to continue my life with zero interruptions. Thank you Rich and team!

Rich was easy to work with, communicated promptly, and was honest. I had another company come out and quoted double what Rich charged and they didn't even explain what the issue was. They were also very sketchy. Rich took time to perform diagnostics on my main water line, explain what he thought the issue was, and quoted me exactly what was charged. I will use Rich in the future and was very happy with his service! Thank you Rich!!

Vanessa F.

Rich replied back to me promptly and they came out the next day! My water pipe was leaking really bad that my water bill had doubled. So needless to say, I appreciate the professionalism and excellent service they provided.

Had a great experience with Rich! We hired him to replace some hoses and valves on our water heater and also install a temperature relief valve and line. He also installed an RO system for us under our kitchen sink. He was very easy to work with, on time for the estimate and repairs, flexible with our schedule and fair on his pricing. We plan to use him again in the future for our plumbing needs.

The only plumbing company I have programmed in my phone. Integrity is everything & my experience has always been great with this company. Nobody calls a plumber because everything is going great, these guys fix the problem

I had an issue with an irrigation hose leaking no matter what I did to turn it off and called American Plumbing & Rooter on a Sunday during Labor Day Weekend. Rich called back right away and gave me an honest assessment of what I should do over the phone and his advice took care of the issue temporarily until I can get an irrigation company after the Holiday weekend to address this situation. The honest quick friendly response and advice were much appreciated and I would definitely call back for future plumbing issues.

We had a great experience with this plumber. The quote was accurate and timely. The man that came was very kind and knowledgeable. We were very pleased with his quality of work, cleanliness of the job site and his pleasant demeanor / professionalism. I would use this plumber again in a NY minute.

10/10 Experience!! This was probably the smoothest and easiest Yelp and service interaction I've ever had. We asked for quotes Sunday night when we saw our water heater leaking/dripping, they responded so fast and were at my house Monday morning (the next day) with a new water heater. Super quick and efficient, they checked my old unit and gave me updates I could easily understand. They were in and out within two hours, everything cleaned up and very professional. Will definitely recommend to friends and neighbors looking for a 10/10 service experience.

06/03/2018 12:00:00 SA

We had an incredible experience with Rich's company. Our water heater broke a day before we were to leave town. I was in full panic mode. I called Rich and he immediately picked up and said he could be at my house in 1-2 hours. He showed up on time and was very professional. He clearly explained what needed to be done and was thorough in his work and communication. First time meeting the guy and it was easy to trust him. He installed a new water heater before the day was over and I was so relieved that he came through. Good work all the way!

Marta A.

07/12/2017 12:00:00 SA

I called this business after seeing their truck. Rich has been here three times now and I cannot say enough good about him and his service. Rich is friendly and professional, does great work, and is fast ad efficient. Highly recommend.

Ryan L.

01/12/2021 12:00:00 SA

I always prefer working with companies that have such strong reviews on Yelp. Rich did not disappoint yesterday when I needed a new water heater: He responded quickly (replied to my initial inquiry in less than 30 minutes, and installation was complete in less than 24 hours), and offered plenty of helpful tips and advice and answers to my questions. His pricing was near the low end of the range of bids I received, and he even reduced the price a bit when he determined one step wouldn't be necessary. I'm confident I ended up with a good new water heater, and that the work was performed well. Highly recommended.

Travis O.

7/28/2017

We had our water heater go out of course on a weekend. I called a few numbers with no luck and then I dialed American Plumbing and Rooter even though it was a Sunday afternoon Rich picked up the phone. He was extremely friendly and courteous. He walked me though all of my options and answered all of my questions. After our discussion we concluded that I needed a new tank. We ran the numbers on my old one and I was still within warranty! Rich showed up at 7am sharp the next day with a new tank. We had hot water by 9am! I can't say enough about how great Rich was. I highly recommend him! Thanks Again!!!!

11/15/2017

Finally, found a plumber I can trust. I needed to have a few bibs replaced. Rich answered my calls and texts very quickly. He scheduled me ASAP. He gave me a quote and a time to start the work. Called me to let me know he was enroute and on time. He was very friendly and personable. He explained exactly what he was going to do and got to work. One of bibs was going to be tricky, but now looks perfect.

When he was done he ask me to inspect his work, and made sure I was completely satisfied with the job. He cleaned up the after himself.

Time for bill. Which I thought was going to be more than the quote, due one of the items being a difficult install. NOPE, Rich is a professional and old school, his word is his bond. The bill was what he quoted.

Plumber that shows up on time, and gets the job. I am a satisfied customer.

I will not lose this guy's business card.

Nayan B.

Rich was very quick to respond and accommodating to my schedule when I needed my water heater replaced. A true professional, Rich showed up right when he promised and was very helpful in explaining how to properly maintain the new water heater to maximize its lifespan. I would highly recommend American Plumbing to anyone!

I am so glad I found these guys. As a new homeowner there are so many things that I didn't see coming, and these guys give very honest feedback, work quickly and efficiently and do an outstanding job every time. I will never use another plumber!

William H.

1/23/2018

Call them first The service was first rate and the price was very fair. They will be my plumber for the rest of my life. The technician was extremely knowledgeable and helpful and a joy to work with. I repeat, call them first and you will will save your self time and money and get a first rate job I was taken advantage of by Ben Franklin on a water heater job. They took my expensive solar water heater and also the roof top collector. They lied to me I found out later. Never ever ever ever ever ever use Ben Franklin plumbers. I am very happy with this plumber.

Katie H.

10/18/2019

Great company!! Called at 7am when I discovered my hot water tank had blown, and Rich picked up the phone. They were out in a few hours and did a fast repair! Rich was so professional and courteous, and was also very helpful in educating us on hot water tank maintenence to keep our new tank in tip top shape. I would give 10 starts if I could. So happy to have found an affordable and reliable plumbing company. You won't be sorry if you give them a call!!

Rich did an amazing job replacing my gas water heater. He changed out the outdated, leaking valves that led to it, and took the time to make sure it was working properly. That last step turned out to be vital, because my vent pipe was completely blocked - the rain cap had slid down, partially blocking the exhaust gasses. It was an easy fix, but I never would have known about this potentially dangerous situation if Rich had not alerted me to it. He's also a nice, friendly guy...highly recommended!

Rick W.

11/26/2020

I would rate their service 5 stars however when I called on thanksgiving they said the fee would be $99.00 vs the normal $39.00. A tech showed up within 30 minutes. Closer to 15 which was amazing. The tech was great. They cleared the drain. Then the bill. $298.00 !! I only wish they told me the $99. was for the service call only. I would have waited a day.

A water pipe broke in my uncle's front yard while he was on vacation this summer. A slow, gentle leak octupled his water usage. Six weeks later and a few thousand miles away, my uncle got his water bill and his jaw drop registered 6.8 on the Richter scale. Japanese nuclear reactors rhythmically swayed in agreement.

Who did he call? Me.

Who did I call? Rich.

He was out the next morning with clear options, simple pricing and then the hard choice that confronts every dweller in Plato's Cave. I could take the blue pill -- the story ends, my uncle wakes up in his watery bed and believes he can move in with me. Or the red pill -- I stay in Mesa, and Rich shows me how deep the pipe trench goes. Remember: all he's offering is the truth. Nothing more.

I chose wisely and before I can even return for lunch the next day, Rich has the damn thing fixed, tested and yard back in shape, all for a good price. As they say, plumbing is emotion put into measure:

I told Rich this with a sigh,
Somewhere hours and hours past:
Two solutions diverged in a yard, and we-
We took the one more trenched,
And that has made all the difference.

5/18/2018

We had a water heater emergency and I called this company, based on the reviews I read online. I'm glad I did! Rich was able to talk me through the steps I needed to follow over the phone to prevent our situation from rapidly becoming an even larger problem. Thank you sir!!

4/19/2021

Lived up to their reputation. Service man was right on time at 7:15 am. Don't ever put artichoke leaves down the disposal, the pipe was completely plugged.
He set to work and cleared the plug.
Quick and clean.

Hello Arizona,

I live in Ahwatukee and 3 years ago my house was flooded by the 100 year rain. We had to gut the whole house and remodel. I have needed plumbing for multiple reasons and have interviewed and worked with probably 50 local plumbing companies and have been dissatisfied with all of them. Everyone is always late, non responsive, arrogant, sloppy and over priced.

Thank God I had a neighbor told me about American Plumbing. I called and actually had someone answer the phone and be very concerned and respectful about my leaking shower and broken water pipe to the fridge. The owner came out the very next morning at our scheduled time and was not only pleasant to be around and chat with but did clean good work on both my shower and fridge. I wish I would have knows about this plumber 3 years ago........

I would recommend this company to do any and all plumbing job you might have. I wont ever call or work with another plumber ever again. I will only work with American Plumbing and Rooter.

Thank you Rich!!!!!!!!!

Ari

Two weeks ago we decided to take a road trip to Sedona to relax for the weekend. When I walked into our home late Sunday evening, after being gone all weekend, I immediately stepped into a pool of water the second I walked through the garage door. Our whole entire first floor was flooded, not an inch was dry. I immediately panicked as I have never had any sort of leak or water damage at my property and I had no clue where it was coming from or what caused this to occur, however I knew exactly who I was going to call and that was Rich, with American Plumbing and Rooter, as he is our go to plumber for all our plumbing needs that occur not only at our home, but at all of our rental properties as well. Rich arrived to our property within 30 minutes of my call and I was so revealed that he personally was going to be the one to come out and help us out with this nightmare especially because it was rather late and on a Sunday. Rich new right away that it was our hot water heater that busted and caused the leak, Rich also knew exactly who to call in regards to getting all the water damage handled, and that was Adams Disaster & Restoration, who I was extremely thrilled with as well. Rich turned this horrible situation into a rather simple and easy process as he knew exactly what to do and who to call, and he even had a water heater in his truck already that he was able to replace the busted heater with that exact night. Rich has always been extremely caring, helpful, honest, prompt, and knowledgeable, and he is truly someone that I know I can trust and I honestly feel that he genuinely cares about his customers as if it were his family, which I find extremely hard to come across these days. Thanks Rich, you are the best!

So grateful to work with Rich and this company. They were friendly, professional and able to help me next day with what I needed (they helped me fix a bathroom sink drain). Definitely plan to work with them again in the future.

Rich answered the phone promptly, answered questions, provided a quote (which they stuck to), and was able to schedule for the next morning. Quality work to replace 2 gas water heaters, hauled away the old ones, oriented me on maintenance to maximize the life of these new ones. Jake showed up on time and rest of the crew shortly after. Good workmanship, courteous crew, and a fair price. Only thing that seemed high was the leak pans I had them put underneath the heaters--more expensive and didn't look to be as good or deep as what I saw at Home Depot. Everything working well and they cleaned up the area before leaving. Trustworthy, skilled, fair pricing--now I have a go-to plumber!

We used American Plumbing and Rooter to replace our back flow prevention valve and some piping that had gotten corroded. Neighbors had recommended their services. Rich was very responsive and was able to get someone out to fix the issue within 24 hours. The technician fixed the issue quickly and the cost was exactly as it was quoted. Three months after the service, one of the connections sprung a leak and Rich sent someone out the same day to fix and covered the cost. We are extremely happy with the work and would definitely call Rich for any of our future plumbing needs. Thanks American Plumbing and Rooter!

7/13/2019

Quick and Prompt response by Rich T. They were able to replace my water heater on the same day as promised. The service guy was really nice and showed how bad our water heater was and all the sediment collected at the bottom of it. He also showed us how to take care of the water heater in the future and maintain it well. They are right on the price I would say but very good service and highly reliable company. I would definitely recommend them to anybody

Needed a plumber to come out and change a main shut off value and replace the hose bib. I called Rich and he was to my house within the hour. He was very friendly, personable, professional, honest, and knowledgeable. Rich's work was done great and did not try to up sale any other work. Will use again if ever in need!

Ellie D.

01/03/2019 12:00:00 SA

I am so glad that I read the yelp reviews and called American Plumbing. Rich and Jake came out on short notice and were really good about explaining what they were going to do, laid out our options and the possible costs. We had a sump pump go out and that is NOT something you want to delay dealing with. They did a great job and answered all my questions.

Dee C.

1/22/2021

This is the second time I have used American Plumbing and Rooter and they get another 5 star review from me! This time they replaced my gas water heater. My 9 year old water heater started producing brown water with sludge - Rich provided a super quick response, and patiently answered all my questions (What's the model number? What's the warranty? How many BTUs? Will you install a pan - currently do not have one- ? What's your favorite color?) With a few pictures and some text messages, they provided a really competitive quote (I asked three companies on Yelp for quotes) and scheduled the work the next day. And I would like to add that I was totally impressed with their respect for COVID- arrived wearing a mask and kept it on the whole time - Even though all the work was in the garage! Anyway - work was done on time, for a great price, and with total professionalism. This is my go to company for plumbing from now on - You rock!

Dave M.

04/10/2023 12:00:00 SA

I am a repeat customer and I can say with 100% certainty that I would always use American Plumbing and Rooter for any plumbing needs. During a recent house leak that caused a lot of damage, Rich was the one constant in the entire process that I was never worried about. Rich works with you to find the quickest time to address a need, and always---always---will be fair and honest with you on what to expect from a job. The work is top notch and above all, you can trust them to do it right. I have recommended American Plumbing and Rooter to many people, and I will continue to do so as they are simply the best.

Scott B.

06/02/2022 12:00:00 SA

After a burst pipe outside I shut off the water to the house. I called American. Rich asked me to text him photos of the area around the pipe and pointed me to a valve I had never noticed or needed to use before that would shut off the irrigation but would allow water to flow to the house. Then Kevin came out at 7am the next day and did a quality repair in an efficient timeframe.

Nicole K.

07/02/2023 12:00:00 SA

So I did not have this company come out but I think had I been able to I would have been happy. When I called (on a Sunday) Rich let me know they would not be able yo handle an emergency call, due to just overload of demand. Despite this, he took the time to give me some estimates on the work so if we could wait or if we called another company we knew what to expect. THAT is above and beyond. He knew there was a chance of not making money from us but was still kind and informative. I'll definitely try again in the future

Nick V.

American Plumbing has provided some of the best service I've received from a plumber. When I called Rich was knowledgeable of the services I needed. He was able to schedule me quickly. Once on-site the work quality was superb and completed promptly.

10/05/2020 12:00:00 SA

This company does what they claim! First returned my phone call in a timely manner. Next gave me a competitive price after my describing the job (replace two leaking outdoor faucets). Made an appointment for the next weekday available. Let me choose the time for the repair and told me I would get a call when the service tech was on his way. I had an expected window of two hours.

On the day of the work to be done I got a call telling me they were on the way. I was at the early part of the time frame window. Tech was here within 20 minutes and started the job. It was completed within about 1/2 hour. We discussed what the two faucets were recommended for, one line bypasses my water conditioning the other is for hose connections.

I paid with a credit card and was emailed my receipt immediately.

Special note: Technician was very friendly and he wore his MASK the entire time. Important in the present pandemic environment.

I will most likely use this company again as my house ages.

My toilets were backing up and I couldn't unclog, the the sewer was backing up In my shower and outside. I found American Plumbing on Yelp. I called and spoke with Rich and he could get to me within 2hrs. Loved the Yelp discount for the call. Well, Kevin showed up within the hour and it fixed in no time. Kevin was awesome, nice, courteous and patient with my questions although it's hot outside :). Thanks Kevin for explaining what happened and getting my toilets going again and Rich for a great customer service experience.

Rich from American Plumbing and Rooter responded very quickly to a call for an issue I was having with my outside hose bib. He told me when they would be out (which was very quick given it was a holiday weekend!) and communicated regularly prior to the job. I had a fair priced estimate and no surprises in cost. He was on time and very professional and I was happy with the work. Will definitely use American Plumbing and Rooter again for all of my plumbing needs!

09/07/2019 12:00:00 SA

The guy on the phone didn't even service my area, and he spent time talking me through my issue and giving me general pricing guidelines so I don't get screwed over by the next guy. If I lived in chandler, I'd use these guys :)

7/18/2019

We recently came home from being out of town to find a water leak at our house. We called a couple of plumbers and got a few estimates, and were prepared to fully re-pipe our house based on the feedback we were getting.

Rich and his team took the time to perform extensive diagnostics and were able to pinpoint the exact location of the leak, and in turn, saved us from having to re-pipe the whole house. The leak they found ended up being on one water line, and they were able to stop the leak by capping ONE pipe with 10 minutes worth of work.

Because of Rich and his team's efforts to find the source of our leak, we saved thousands in plumbing costs, and are extremely grateful for their dedication to providing excellent service to their customers. Highly recommend!

Janet K.

05/08/2019 12:00:00 SA

Jake was our technician and did a great job of explaining the details of the job. We needed to have some repairs the home inspector had recommended for our house. They have a two year warranty on work. I would highly recommend American Plumbing and Rooter for your needs. They will exceed your expectations.

Sage S.

10/28/2022

We had a great experience with American plumbing. They were the best quote, really responsive and able to get us on the schedule quickly and they did a great job installing our water heater. As an added bonus they are also really nice people.

Kaitlyn M.

9/24/2020

Absolutely fantastic experience getting our dish disposal replaced!

It was very easy to communicate with Rich in getting the quote, and Rich was also very courteous in providing an ETA the day before and calling ahead the day of. Kevin came to our house on time. He was very professional in his communication and work flow. He assessed the issue with our disposal quickly and replace it with a new one swiftly as well. There was no mess and everything was done before the lunch hour ended so we could get back to work at home. In this unusual time of COVID, I'd also like to thank Kevin for wearing a good quality mask and gloves during his visit. Would highly recommend American Plumbing and Rooter.

Keena B.

9/23/2021

Honest and reputable company! I had a small project and reached out for a quote, and instead of charging me a ton of money to come out, they gave me great advice on how to take care of it myself. I really appreciated our short interaction and I know that when I really do have a big job in the future I will be calling American Plumbing and Rooter first.

Linda M.

I have used American Plumbing twice now and they have been great both times. They answer the phone when you call, and give updates as to how far out the tech is from arriving. Very friendly and easy to schedule prompt appointments. They explain the work/repairs to be done and are not condescending. I will try to use them for any future plumbing needs.

Amazing experience. Waterheater sprung a leak. Called 4-5 places, and American Plumbing was at my door in less than 20 minutes from phone call. Gave me a great price, and did the work same day as I was leaving town the next morning, and didn't have time to wait around. It was done professionally, fast, and for a great price. I would recommend Rich to anyone looking for a plumber.

We recently had a water softener replaced and some other miscellaneous plumbing work done. Rich and Kevin were great to work with. Both very professional and courteous. Rich is a straight shooter and will give his professional recommendations but also be creative in offering alternative and sound options. I'd recommend this company and would definitely have them back if we need any more plumbing work done.

We had American come out about a year and a half ago for an emergency back up. Sorry just getting to the review! The man who came out was amazing. I believe it may have been the owner. He came out over a weekend last minute when he had a new baby at home! They fixed the problem quickly and gave us a fair price. I would 100% recommend them for any plumbing needs. We will use them again for sure.

Kevin was extremely professional and valued my time....fixed the clogged kitchen sink & garbage disposal in no time.
Excellent customer service especially in the midst of this pandemic!

Thank you!

Rich was prompt, professional, and courteous. I needed same day service and not only was he able to squeeze me in he also charged a very good price. I cannot recommend this company enough!

When our kitchen sink was backed up and the disposal wouldn't run, we contacted Rich and he was at our house within an hour. He solved the problem promptly, was friendly, and did great work! We will absolutely call him in the future with our plumbing needs! Thanks Rich!!

Use this guy! Rich is amazing! He is quick to respond, is honest about the work that needs to be done, his prices are comparable to other companies, is on time, communicates very well, and ACTUALLY DOES GREAT WORK!

We had a main sewer line issue. We had several plumbers out before I called Rich, and it wasn't until the third company came out that we found we had a separation in our sewer line. I called around for quotes, and all the companies fell around the same estimate. One company was incredibly pushy, one company appeared completely incompetent, and then there was Rich.

I come from a family of small business owners, and I like to support other small businesses. The fact that the owner is the contact person, comes out for the estimate, and actually does the work is awesome. The fact that he is friendly and down to earth, just an added bonus.

I know our repair was not an easy one, but Rich coordinated with everyone very well so the major project only took a couple days from beginning to end. I was expecting it to take much longer to remove our driveway, replace the line, and have the new driveway poured. I definitely recommend calling Rich if you need a plumber! You won't be disappointed. Thanks again, Rich!

Kevin came out and replaced our outside shut off and washer hookups. Even before he came out today, I was speaking with Rich and getting a quote. Everything worked seamlessly and smoothly. No surprises in cost, they came well within the time frame given. Kevin was incredibly professional and so easy to work with. I would use American Plumbing for any project I had. Great customer service.

Had an old leaking spigot in the bathtub. Rich answered the phone, set a time, called ahead as he was on the way, and showed up when he said he would. He kept me apprised of the situation all the way through and was up-front about what he was doing and what it could cost. Another guy I called before wanted to rebuild the whole thing for $7g. Rich got it all fixed for a few hundred, and passed up many opportunities to gouge. I am 100% satisfied and recommend American Plumbing to anyone.

My kitchen faucet sprayer house malfunctioned and made a huge water mess. I called Rich at 9:15pm to make an appointment for the next morning. He was very accommodating with my schedule and showed up right when he said he would. Rich and his apprentice were knowledgeable and professional. He didn't have the part I needed on his truck so he went to Home Depot to get it! He came right back and installed my kitchen faucet quickly and neatly. I texted him later in the day to ask a question and he can back my my house to check it out and make a quick adjustment. Highly recommended!

10/04/2019 12:00:00 SA

Experience with these guys was great from beginning to end. They were courteous and gave me some estimates on the phone and then gave me a call before they came to the house which happened within 24 hours. A gentleman who came in to do the repairs identify issue very quickly for a shower and fixed it for a very reasonable amount of money. Yep yep

Looking for a reliable plumber for your plumbing issues? Look no further. Just call American Plumbing and you will be glad that you do.
I have used American Plumbing to fix a leak at the main water supply line, and I continue to use this company for any future plumbing needs because of the following reasons:
1. Excellent communications and quote system. You can request a free quote for your job/issue in 10 minutes just by using the online 'Request a quote' on Yelp, a well designed and so user-friendly that I had not seen before.
If you prefer to call, then Rich T., the owner of American Plumbing, will get you a straightforward and detailed quote on what needs to be done/replaced for the job/issue.
The quoted price is the price you pay at completion of job. No more, no less!

2. Fair and reasonable price. For my plumbing issue, I contacted American Plumbing and 2 other companies for a quote, and the price I got from American Plumbing is at least 20% cheaper.

3. Quality of work performed. Rich was the technician performing the repair work for me. As promised, he called me 30 minutes prior to his arrival. A skilled professional with 19+ year plumbing experience,Rich completed the repair job quickly, cleanly and within the time frame promised. After everything tested and checked out well, I got an invoice with the written 2-year warranty for all the work performed.
Rich even gave me some advice on how to protect the new black flow preventer he installed for me against cold weather.

This is a long-overdue review, but I just wanted to say thanks to Rich and American Plumbing.

Rich, you are best of the best! I will absolutely call you for my future plumbing needs.

Requested a quote for overflowing toilets/showers and Rich was first responder on a Sunday afternoon. After giving him the details on what went wrong, he explained to me the steps they were going to take to try to solve the problem. I was happy with the quote and got an appointment first thing next morning. Our meeting was brief since I had work in the morning but gave a great impression. It turned out that we needed a locating service for our blockage situation which was beyond their scope of work but he effectively communicated this to me even though I could not get to my phone right away. Literally felt like I was talking to a friend and not just some big name company. American Plumbing and Rooter is both professional and personable which is something I value in a service. It was a great experience. Highly recommend!!!

I was having problems with my water pressure and wanted to have to looked at since I didn't want my houseguests feeling uncomfortable. I called and Kevin arrived within the hour and fixed everything!!! I cannot recommend American plumbing enough!!!!!

Integrity is defined as The quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness. Used in a sentence: Rich is gentleman of complete integrity. Rich is my plumber for life and I only met him 24 hours ago.

For over 12 hours Rich with American Plumbing and Rooter stood by my side (me in NYC) and my tenants' side (them in Phoenix) during one of the most trying times I've ever had as a homeowner and landlord.

Last July I used another plumber to rectify roots in my sewer line. The issue resumed and I contacted the same plumbing company used last time but received a new rep. He found a significant root issue at the tap of my line and said he'd need to go through my concrete driveway with an estimate for the job at $4,000. I hadn't connected as well with this new rep as I had with the prior rep and having to start all over with a new guy was daunting. I decided to reach out to other plumbers who specialized in sewer repair for a second opinion on Monday morning. I was delighted when:

MONDAY - 9AM ET
Rich answered the phone and explained his approach to my sewer line issue including potential costs. It worth noting he never once took the opportunity to dismantle the reputation of the other plumbing company. He went to the property that afternoon even though he was booked-out thru Wednesday since my tenants had not been able to use water since Saturday.

12PM ET
Rich calls me while he was able to clear the line (without going thru the driveway) he went further out and at 60 feet (the street) he discovered a significant issue; water hiding the line which he could not push thru. He explained that it could either be my line or the city's main line, and since it was under the street it would be a very big job.

Rich guided me thru the entire process of how I would need to find out who would be responsible for the repair--me as homeowner or the city. He instructed I call Precision Location Services--he even calls them to tell them the situation is urgent--so that they can take a video which I will need to further diagnose the issue as well as use to prove it is the city's responsibility. He lets me know what fee to expect from Precision Location Services and that he trusts them implicitly. He also suggests that I contact the city sewer department to get the ball rolling. I contact the city and they send out a foreman immediately.

12:30 PM ET:
My tenant calls me and says the city went there to inspect, and they requested I get a plumber and video guy out as they discover the line is under water when they open the manholes. Precision Locations Services gets their guy out to the home within 30 minutes.

1:00PM ET.
Precision Location Services and City of Phoenix Utilities Supervisor are at the home and city says they need a plumber by law. I call Rich who is on another job and he drops everything to go to my home.

5:00 PM ET
Rich calls me onsite with an update: There is a huge blockage that cannot be determined if it is my line or the city's. I can hear Rich speaking with the City's Utilities Supervisor and my tenant as if they were brothers - he's representing me in the best light possible and I've known him for 8 hours. My financial livelihood depends on the city picking up this huge tab and my tenant's well- being and happiness! The result: The city deems it is their responsibility to rectify and my tenant sends me the following text: You have a big heart. I hope you are blessed for your help. Thank you again for everything.

7:40PM ET - 10:30PM
Tenant updates: There are 8 men, 5 trucks, a backhoe. They finally got to the main pipe, it was 6 feet 5 down. They are cleaning the hole before opening the pipe to see what it is. They had to get a vacuum to pull out the roots. Years of growth, very tight and 20 deep into pipe almost a solid plug. They used Sawzall to break it up to pull it out.

Rich made himself available to me last evening up until 10:30 my time. He assures me the city is taking care of it and that it is either severe root issue or collapsed line but not to worry as it is finally being rectified. It is clear to Rich at 10:30PM ET that I am overwhelmed and exhausted. He texts: Yes, it is a lot for anyone to handle. You stayed cool, this is a BIG DEAL and I'm happy you called us to go out : )

TUESDAY 9AM ET:
Rich is gentleman of complete integrity from which I benefitted from in the following ways:
* Tenants have water and are happy with me.
* Rich complied and worked with the city's Utilities Supervisor in a respectful and timely manner which I believe contributed to the favorable outcome for me as homeowner.

Another reviewer said: With his wonderful customer service skills, professionalism, knowledge, accuracy, listening skills, friendly personality, attention to details and prompt service Rich was able to transform a chaotic, confusing and totally unexpected experience into a pleasant one. Hear hear!

American Plumbing and Rooter installed new valves in our laundry room. They were very professional, reliable, and responsive. I plan to contact them again soon for a new faucet installation, because I know we will be thrilled with the results!

Jacquie N.

12/19/2018

As other reviewers noted, this company is great. Rich was prompt in providing a detailed estimate for replacing a toilet and leaking valve. Price was fair and work was scheduled promptly. Jake arrived on time and communicated clearly what he was doing and how the job was going. Unfortunately the toilet I bought was cracked on the bottom and Jake could not complete the install. He cleaned up the area and felt bad he could not complete the work.

When I did get a replacement toilet later that day, Rich arranged for Jake to come the next day for the install. Once again, Jake was right on time. He did great work and left my bathroom so clean it never looked like he was there.

Customer service and communication were perfect. American Plumbing and Rooter is now my go-to company for plumbing needs. Thanks Rich and Jake!

I contacted them about purchasing and installing a tankless natural gas water heater. After telling the man who answered where we lived and what we wanted he proceeded to tell me that a tankless water heater would be 3-4 times as expensive as a traditional water heater and that it may not be right for me. After clarifying that we had a small home and only two people living here and our current natural gas water heater was failing he quoted me $3500-4000 for the purchase and installation of a tankless system.

He talked himself out of my business in about 2-1/2 minutes.

Although they have a 5 star rating on yelp as of today, I was not impressed.

I have found my plumber for life. I had 3 different plumbers come out to fix my water pressure in my shower, and NONE of them gave me a straight answer about what was wrong. American Plumbing and Rooter and Rich were fantastic. He was honest, upfront, and realistic about everything that needed to be done to fix my problem. Jake was the technician they sent and he did an amazing job! He even took the time to explain to me what he did, why my water pressure was low, and any maintenance I can do in the future. 10/10 would recommend to anybody for reliable and superb customer service.

Truly outstanding service! We woke up to 4 inches of water in our garage and a flooded laundry room. Rich had someone out to our house within two hours to repair the problem. The repair tech was professional, knowledgeable and very efficient. The price for the repair was reasonable and they didn't charge an extra emergency fee. I will definitely call American Plumbing next time I need a plumber!

Rich G.

3/17/2022

American Plumbing was able to come the next day. Others were 2 days out.
We knew the issue ... it has happened before ... it was a clog in the small kitchen pipe that runs under the slab before joining the larger toilet pipe.
The Lowe's $30 25' drain auger was not long enough to reach, and a rubber pressure bladder using a hose hookup did not work.
The price was more than hoped but probably fair ... and it was the price quoted on the phone. $249 plus the $39 trip fee. And that did include a useful snake video after clearing.
The video included in the service did show the buildup of years of grease on the inside of the pipe. And this provided them the opportunity to offer hydro jetting that would clean out that grease. But the price would be between $400 to $800, depending upon how many passes were required. (This was for a straight small pipe approximately 40' in length.)
And while they would take off the $249 clog removal from the price, the price could have been up to an additional $550. Instead I will ask the renters to pour off grease before cleaning and to put large amounts of kitchen scraps in the trash instead of the garbage disposal.
I do recommend this business for the basic service, but be warned, you might be tempted to pay for the additional hydro jetting after seeing the snake camera video.

Called, sent pic they got an estimate back within the hour, appointment next day 7:00a.m. Showed up promptly on time, got work done in an hour. Timely, professional, courteous, quality repair workmanship just like a year ago. 5 star, highly recommend.

07/11/2022 12:00:00 SA

I found these guys through Yelp. I've had other plumbers that gave me an estimate and the prices I received were way too high !!

I received a response from them right away and I told them if they can come check out the 3 sinks I needed to be fixed.. They came asap and gave me an estimate. They had the best prices.

They came today to fix one sink in my guest bathroom that was leaking, the master bed room had two sinks that were leaking also, and that's clogged. All of that were fixed for $318. Not bad at all. I checked the work they did and I was satisfied.

I definitely recommend these guys. Anytime I need a plumber I'll make sure to call them again. Thank you American plumbing for being responsive and reliable!

I had a leak on the back of my house from the hose bib. Unfortunately when the house was built some weird 1 1/8 size connector was welded on during the construction. Nothing I could find at the hardware stores would mate to that and I was unable to remove it myself.

I called this company and they were able to come really fast (helps that I live close by). Rich knocked out the work PDQ and we were up and running in no time. Now I have a quality bib that works well. If it should ever go bad in the future I can replace it myself.

My husband and I want to share the absolutely wonderful experience we had with Rich, Owner of AMERICAN PLUMBING & ROOTING. If you want prompt service by a professional in the industry, don't waste your time, energy or money on anyone else, call Rich Tomas!

Have you ever experienced getting home after being gone all day and when you pull into your driveway you see water coming out from under your garage door and entry way going all the way down to the end of your street? Well, unfortunately I experienced this just two days ago. I cannot even put into words how I felt when I opened up the garage door and there was a river flowing from my garage!! Things were already floating!! I was in total shock! I couldn't believe my eyes!! Our 75 gallon water heater had exploded. There were several inches of water covering the floor and the water was still profusely coming out of the water heater!! The water was about to get inside the house! I froze. I panicked. I didn't know what to do or how to process everything around me. It almost looked surreal!

I immediately shut off the water going into the house. Since we have a gas water heater I wondered if the massive amount of water and the damage inside the water tank could potentially trigger a gas leakage. Fortunately, a neighbor came over to shut down the gas valve.

Since we have a home warranty, I decided to immediately call them. I can't express how I felt when they informed me that they did not have a plumber available to come to the house. I had an EMERGENCY!! They advised me that I could contact a plumber if I knew one, but I needed to follow their very specific procedures if I wanted to be considered for at least a partial reimbursement for the cost of the service.

We did not know any plumber, so I decided to visit YELP to see if there was anyone available to drop everything to come to my house. Of course, I wanted only the best and that's why I decided to contact the company listed on Yelp with 53 FIVE STAR REVIEWS under Plumbing Service in Chandler: AMERICAN PLUMBING & ROOTER. When I called, Rich promptly answered the phone. I am sure that he sensed panic in the tone of my voice. He carefully listened to me. Rich assured me that someone was going to come to the house within the next 30 minutes. Oh, I cannot express how happy I felt! To my pleasant surprise, a van with the logo of AMERICAN PLUMBING pulled into my driveway ONLY 15 MINS after I had called!!! I couldn't believe my eyes!! A gentleman got out of the van and introduced himself. It was Rich! He said that after talking to me, he decided that he wanted to take care of my emergency himself. Oh!! Talk about service! Rich immediately proceeded to evaluate the situation. Since my husband was at work a great distance from our home, Rich talked to him and carefully explained to my husband what needed to be done. Having Rich take care of everything gave me peace of mind. I knew that we were in great hands and that he would take care of our problem.

Rich spent almost 4 hours on the phone talking to our home warranty company and patiently answered every question. Home warranties are not the easiest to deal with! Their representatives can be inexperienced, annoying, stubborn, and even clueless about the claims they are expected to process. The home warranty representative that was handling our claim was all of that and more. In the middle of the various phone calls Rich remained calmed, in control, very respectful and a total professional. He even multi tasked while talking on the phone while also alternating between checking the water meter and continuing his assessment of our water heater. Never did I feel that I was being pressured or that Rich was taking advantage of us due to the chaos that we were experiencing. He did not leave the house until he restored the water line getting into the house. Even when it was cold water, we were very grateful to him for making sure that at least we had water.

The next morning Rich called to inform us that he had a brand new 75 gallon water heater for us and that he would be at our house at 10:30am to install it. I could barely believe it!

With his wonderful customer service skills, professionalism, knowledge, accuracy, listening skills, friendly personality, attention to details and prompt service Rich was able to transform a chaotic, confusing and totally unexpected experience into a pleasant one.

THANK YOU Rich, from now on you will be our trusted plumber!

The best experience I've had with a plumber in Ahwatukee/Chandler area. Two new hose bibs to replace others that were installed 5 yrs ago, superior parts and repair from before. 24 hrs from initial call, very professional.

Daniella F.

8/29/2019

As a brand new homeowner I had no idea where to start when my hot water wasn't working. Before a technician was schedule the person on the phone tried trouble shooting with me to avoid charging me for a visit. They had someone out to me within an hour. The technician was professional and made sure everything was in working order. He also educated me about the water heater and what to expect for maintenance and repairs over the next few years. I will be calling every time I have a plumbing issue!

Steve W.

Rich replaced the piping in my shower quickly and for a fair price. He was very prompt and courteous. Will be calling him back for all plumbing needs.

10/27/2017

The repairs Rich did on his last visit didn't repair the original issue. Which he told me which again was very honest. Another service call was made & quoted. He showed up on time was very professional, clean & communicative again. He even went above & beyond & didn't do any additional unnecessary repairs. Instead he put some serious elbow grease in & got the job done for almost 1/2. Now the repair is complete & the first visit fixed issues I didn't even know I had. I'd recommend Rich. He's a great & honest plumber.

Zach N.

05/05/2017 12:00:00 SA

Rich is incredibly knowledgeable and genuine. I just moved into a new house and had him over to look at plumbing issues. He fixed everything great and didn't leave a mess. Pricing was very fair and I can tell he takes pride in his work. If you're looking for the BEST plumbing service then your search is over. This is the guy!

Had some huge work done by these guys a few years ago, minor works in between, water heater replacement today and yesterday. Found the water heater leaking for who knows how long and immediately called them, they were out the following day... leak was bad enough that the pedestal needed to be removed. Took care of that and per their recommendation got a stand, they were out the following day to complete installation complete with training g and reminder stickers for maintenance. Excellent communication, excellent responsiveness, excellent recommendations, I can't tell you guys enough... you find a company that is amazing like these guys and you keep them forever.

I had a leak with my washing machine and needed the shut off valve fixed so that I could shut off the water to the machine. They were informative over the phone and very helpful. The repair man was great. He fixed the valves in 45 minutes! The repair man even closed the front door every time he left the house to get something out of his truck. This impressed us because we've had numerous repair people in the house over the years and they never shut the door behind them when they have to leave the house. If you have pets you understand why this is impressive. We have numerous other plumbing issues that need to be fixed and we will for sure be calling them again in the future.

ABBY D.

09/01/2017 12:00:00 SA

Rich was incredibly responsive, thorough, friendly, informative, and honest. I grabbed extra business cards from him because I would absolutely utilize his services again and encourage my friends and family to do the same.

Spoke to Rich about our broken water heater, and had a new unit to us within a couple of hours. Fantastic service and honest pricing. He explained our options and was able to get the job done quickly. Another company quoted an outrageous price just because of the name. So glad I called Rich and went with a local company that treats its customers with respect and integrity. I will definitely call for any plumbing issues in the future!

Ann S.

11/20/2019

I want to compliment Rich and his team for the great job they did at my house yesterday. Repairing a main line leak that runs under a driveway is expensive no matter who does the work. After getting several quotes from other outfits I chose his. It wasn't the lowest quote but the strategy Rich was planning to use and his explanation of why it might cost more made sense to me. I have no regrets. He did what he said he was going to do when he said he was going to do it - while communicating what was happening all along the way. Shout out to Rich's dad, who just happened to be along that day, for a really good financing idea. And to Rich for finding a problem I was having in my attic!

Spoke to Rich today asking for a hot water heater recommendation for a new house being built in the Queen Creek subsurbs. Even though he will probably not get any business for a few years (I hope), he took the time to provide his input/recommendations! FYI, he recommended tank water heats vs. tankless - he said the hard water in this area is very bad.

Rich was awesome. Attentive, caring, knowledgeable, affordable, and responds quickly. What else do you need?

We had them replace our water heater and they did very good work! They showed up on time and were very kind and professional. They made sure everything was clean and paid attention to all the details. Everything they installed was very sturdy and we can tell it will last a long time

Responds quickly to messages. Great communications. Gave a quote and performed all of the work as expected on time and within the quote. Called 30 minutes in advance as he said he would. Showed video of issue before proceeding and after to show the work done. Explained everything and kept us up to date as work proceeded. Great experience.

I was very impressed! They came the next day, on time and called ahead. Everyone was very friendly and they fixed my drippy toilet in no time! Definitely would use them again.

Called at 7am because our water heater went out. Talked to Rich and he gave me a few reasons why but basically asked how old the water heater was and that they now usually only last 6-8 years and that's with doing yearly maintenance which I failed to due. Jake came out around 8am and said Rich was following him with a new water heater I decided to purchase. Jake talked to me about what he was going to do and proceeded. Rich and Jake replaced the water heater and was done about 9:30. Rich explained to me about maintenance. They are very professional but friendly. Easy to communicate with. Couldn't ask for better service and professionalism. Highly recommended.

Seriously the BEST in the valley...period! Showed up on time and even calls you when they're headed your way. I had them come out and fix an issue that another company screwed up! Did a fantastic job!

I've had American Plumbing out twice for repairs. I can't say enough about their timely arrival and the quality work done at both visits. I intend to hire them for any future repairs that might arise.

Same day service! Fair pricing and excellent workmanship to replace an outdoor hose bibb and spigot. I
also received a discount for finding American Plumbing on Yelp. Thank you!

My inbound water supply hose bib corroded and had a leak. American Plumbing & Rooter responded to my service request via yelp within minutes had me take a picture of the issue provided me a quote within 20 minutes. The quote included taxes and there were no hidden increases or charges in the end. They made appointment came when they said they would and did the job quickly and efficiently. I would definitely reccomend them and will use them again in the future.

Fast response with online requested quotes and extremely reasonable quotes! My home warranty had send out a plumber from another place to do an inspection after our water heater was leaking profusely. It ended up needing to be replaced entirely but that warranty plumber quoted an out of pocket additional charge for just piping (it was an absurd amount). I decided to get it quoted at American Plumbing and after sending photos and explaining the situation, I got a quick assessment and honest reply about the cost breakdown. The quote was so much more reasonable and they even pointed out that the water heater itself would likely still be under the manufacturer's warranty. I'd recommend this place for anyone who's looking for a plumbing quote!

My garbage disposal was not operating and Rich fixed my disposal in seconds. Not only was he efficient and knowledgeable but he also explained the problem. I will only be using Rich for future plumbing issues.

I really need to get a water alarm.

So our disposal stopped working. My first thought was I needed to press the reset button on the unit, so I open the cabinet and find the sheet pan we have under the sink (that was a good decision!!) is full of water. Fortunately none had overflowed into the cabinet and destroyed the wood, at least it hadn't YET. I run a little water in the sink and watch as water streams out the bottom of the disposal. Have to replace the garbage disposal

I found this company on Yelp. Good comments, figured I would give them a try. Of all the problems to have this is probably the least risky when it comes to trying someone new. The person on the phone was very upfront with me and advised me to wait until Monday (this was a Friday) to avoid the weekend service call rate. So I did.

Communication was good. Originally scheduled to come out between 8-10am, around 8am we got a call it would be more like 10-11am. And he ended up arriving right at 10am. It took about an hour, but no apparent problems and it was done. Appears to work properly, no leaks. Pricing was reasonable.

Based on this service call I can recommend them and I plan to utilize their services the next time we have a plumbing issue.

I 100% recommend calling Rich at American Plumbing and Rooter. My sewage ejector pump in my basement died overnight and i saw some water coming out of the pit at 7am. I reached out to Rich who immediately called and chatted with me. He gave me an estimate for a full replacement if the pump was shot. Rich arrived at 10am (he told me late morning to early afternoon, so this was awesome he came quick). Rich pulled the old pump out explained what was going on, showed me all the tests he ran on the pump to try and get it to work, but sadly the 15 year old pump was dead. Rich honored his estimate, cleaned the entire pit and installed a nicer pump than I had and was done by lunch. I have zero bad experiences with Rich and completely agree with all of his other great reviews!

Rich was great at responding very quickly to my Yelp inquiry, and they were out the following day to install our new water heater! They gave a reasonable rate, and the install was quick. Will call them again for future plumbing needs.

I had a crazy accident that pulled a spigot off of my house, causing water to shoot out of the wall. Once I was able to get the water shut off, I started calling plumbing companies with high ratings on Yelp. The other two companies I called, explaining my house water was off, etc, weren't able to squeeze us in, or give an estimate. Third company I called was American Plumbing, they were understanding, asked for a picture to give an estimate, and were able to squeeze me into their schedule, getting here a few hours after initial contact. They explained they had to cut the stucco, and aren't able to repair it, but it would be minimal.

They cut about a 2x2 hole around the tiny remaining pipe hanging out of the wall, added more of a nipple that was solid, and got everything working within maybe 20 min. They've earned my business just on account of their flexibility when I was in a pinch. They even showed me that the issue most likely was a cover up from previous owners, which makes since with how easy this thing flew off of the wall. Thank you!!

Attached are pictures of the before and after (ignore the bags, I stuffed them in the wall until stucco repair.

I reached out to various plumbers (6 in total) to resolve my low water pressure to my house. All of them were quick to respond to set an appointment. Now I knew the issue I had was more than likely a simple fix.....and it was. However this company didn't reach out to set an appointment right away. Instead they asked me a couple simple questions and for a couple pictures of the water lines to my house. They coached me on how to fix it (using the yelp app to message me btw) and for less than 10 dollars and screwdriver my issue was solved.

This company could have done what the others were trying to do by trying to set an appointment, and honestly I would have just picked one and been happy paying. However they chose the route of helping me troubleshoot it and solve the issue myself which is awesome. To that, I will say is a testament to how honest this company is. They could have just showed up and charged me but they took the non profitable route and help me fix it on my own. Kudos to this company and glad there is still people out there that arnt so easy to make a quick buck. Thank you!

Very prompt and professional service from this company. I spoke to Rich through both the chat version of Yelp APP and on the phone. Scheduling was very easy. They kept me up to date through text messages on my phone, so I was able to meet the repairman at home, which allowed me to keep working until I actually needed to be there. Thanks Brian MacDonald

Rich was very responsive to my request, and Kevin came over to take a look at the issues with our kitchen and bathroom sinks. Kevin was very knowledgeable and swift to make the necessary fixes, and he even took the time to look at any other issues that may have been overlooked by me because I don't know what needs improvements and/or replacements. Definitely going back to them for their service (in fact, scheduled another appointment for water heater replacement), and I highly recommend them. Thank you Kevin and Rich!

We just moved to Phoenix from up north and was told do not drink the water! So we made a few calls to plumbing companies that offer water filtration and soft water systems. American plumbing came out and sold us this great water all in one system that uses no salt or zero maintenance for 10 years! It's amazing no only of our water but our hair and skin feels much softener plus e don't have all that excessive minerals build up on our facets like when we first moved in

So our water heater wasn't working and I called the company that installed it 6 years ago and the guy answered, but said he was driving and would pull over as soon as he could and call me back in like 5 minutes... needless to say an hour went by and no call.... so I decided to look on Yelp and I gave this company a try.

the gentleman who answered my call was polite, responsive, and took down all my information as well as the information on the water heater to see what was covered under the warranty for me. The next morning, he called me when he was fifteen to twenty minutes away... and showed up right on time, he was pleasant and professional. He went straight to work figured out the problem fixed it immediately gave me some good suggestions on what it may need in the future, but didn't try to push me to buy right away. I could tell he was honest about our equipment and everything turned out to cost less than what I was expecting.

I will definitely use them again it's refreshing to have an honest and reasonably priced company that I know I can call for future work.

Great job!

By far the best plumbing experience ever! Second to none, Rich is a professional. I have his number in my phone and will never bother with another plumber. He was able to extract a mass of tree roots without having to destroy the floor or the pipes. Saved me thousands! Though this is a temporary fix, I will definitely have Rich come back to do the real fix in the future.

My hot water tank went bad this morning. American Plumbing came out within in an hour. This is a small company, that has integrity honest and very competitive prices. My go to company.

I needed to fix a leak in my sink due to a problem with my popup. I sent the quote request well past 9 pm on Sunday night. Rich was prompt and messaged me back and forth Sunday night, set up an appointment for Monday morning.

Kevin showed up Monday morning, was efficient and professional. Their rates are reasonable. Qualify of work excellent.

AP&R is a keeper.

PS (Extra points for ethics and honesty: Kevin tried to make it work with my off the shelf Home depot parts and showed me why it would not work (because of mismatched components), before he suggested replacing it with a brand new Popup.)

Recently, I learned that we had a slab leak which is all too common in my neighborhood. This knocked out our hot water and was a serious issue for us. Rich and his team were nothing short of fantastic. No water with two kids over a holiday weekend is never fun, but the cost was what really had me worried.

This company came up with a great idea of re-routing the line so we both fixed the issue, and gained peace of mind in regard to the possibility of future losses. They worked quick and extremely hard for a fair price. To make matters worse, I was out of town during the repairs but they kept my wife informed as far as the progress and what additional steps were needed. Overall, I am thrilled with the work, cost, and timeliness of the repairs. I would recommend this company to friends and family with absolutely no hesitation!

We reached out for a quote when our water heater quit working and Rich was prompt to respond and provide the guidance and next steps we needed to check out the issue. We will definitely use them in the future for our plumbing needs.

Thoroughly satisfied customer.

I found American Plumbing through Yelp and am sure glad I did. Rich (owner) was easy to work with and delivered as promised.

Rich responded to my Yelp inquiry fast. Was able to text him pictures of the water softener which needed to be replaced and explain what I was looking for. Rich proposed a solution which met my needs at a reasonable price and we agreed to move forward.

Kevin, the technician assigned to my job, was on time and very professional. Kevin performed the service efficiently and hassle free. Rich came by towards the end of the installation to ensure everything had gone according to plan. Rich also inspected a few other plumbing concerns I had about other non-water softener items while on site.

Will definitely be giving American Plumbing the first look at any future plumbing needs I have.

I opened the kitchen cabinet and found that the garbage disposal had been leaking gallons of gross food-water out of the bottom. My husband alleged that he could easily replace the disposal, but I didn't want to deal with multiple trips to Lowe's and hours of cursing underneath the sink. I read the positive Yelp reviews and gave American Plumbing & Rooter a call. Jake came out the next morning and was great. Very professional, friendly, and experienced. He had the new disposal installed quickly and willingly answered all of my plumbing-related questions. It's more expensive than doing it yourself with a YouTube video, but it's sometimes better to pay a professional for his/her expertise. We need a new hot water heater, and I'll definitely use this company for our future plumbing needs.

My water heater went out and wouldn't light, I decided to give Rich a call as he had great reviews. He didn't disappoint. He showed up within the promised time window and gave me a courtesy call 10 mins before he showed up. He immediately identified the issues and I had to replace my water heater. I figured as much based on my own inspection so I know he wasn't trying to sell me anything I didn't need. He verified the warranty was in place and that helped me save a good amount of money, he didn't try to sell me any other units or anything, just the warranty replacement which is exactly what I wanted. He competed the work very quickly in a few hours. Overall very reasonable price and very professional. He was on time, honest, and very reasonably priced. Highly recommended and I'd use him again for my plumbing needs.
