Best Plumbing Services in Newark, NJ

Steve Iafrate is the business owner, is a Master Plumber and lives in Closter. He shows up, shows up on time and works diligently.  He works fast and cleanly. He is my new plumber.  Cheers.

I've been using Gateway Plumbing & Heating for over 10 years. In that time, I've lived in or managed 4 different properties with issues ranging from toilet repairs and replacement to hot water heater replacement. I also have Gateway do annual boiler maintenance. Over the years, all of their technicians have been professional and personable, with Sal being one of the plumbers I see often. Dave, one of the owners, personally handled oversight of a recent gas line replacement project. Stratos, new to the Gateway team, confirms appointments in advance and follows up. The office staff is also very helpful. I highly recommend Gateway Plumbing!

Reasonably priced and do a great job. They have done plumbing work for us for years and put in a water heater. Jim even helped my 92 year old grandfather when he stuck on the side of the road.

We had an unknown basement leak in our new townhouse. We were unable to diagnosis it and getting desperate. He was responsive - quick - and honest. I will be using him again.

He fixed: sump pump, replaced the bucket of the pump, fixed A/C condenser pump re routed, and fixed outdoor hose busted pipe.

Other things that made him standout-
1. Responded within the hour
2. Scheduled to come out to Westchester ASAP even during weekend
3. Diagnosed the problem and gave me 2 options for solutions - one that was an economical fix and got us out of the active leak situation and a more permanent solution at a very honest price
4. A new leak was discovered and he got that fixed as well

Alex showed up on time and was able to diagnose the problem quickly.  When he came back with another plumber later in the week, they got to work immediately.  An access hole needed to be cut in the basement wall for them to install a cleanout and snake the pipe, and they didn't do a very good job (if at all) of cleaning the area around the access hole, so I needed to go back and do some cleanup around the drywall and behind the wall.  

Since the drain is now functioning perfectly, and their price was fair, I cannot complain, I just wish they spent a few minutes wiping down the walls and cleaning up.

Fast service! Michael showed up within one hour of providing an estimate online to fix our clogged sink, answered all our questions, and most importantly fixed the issue. Will update if anything goes wrong with the work but as for right now we are 100% satisfied customers and glad we found a local plumber for our new home

Skeptically, we called several 24/7 plumbing companies after 11pm to get help with a broken shower diverter. Waiting til the morning wasn't really an option. Only two responded at all. So much for 24/7. 24 HOURS PLUMBING responded quickly, asked for any pictures of the problem and said they could send a plumber. Yes, it was expensive - but it was after midnight when he arrived. Yes, they took my credit card number upfront, but didn't bill me until the work was finished. Yes, the problem was fixed and we could shower in the morning and get on with our day as if nothing had happened. The plumber was a nice guy, polite and able to fix the problem with the parts he had on hand. We would recommend them at any hour of the day but if you need someone at an ungodly hour, these guys are reliable.

I had a leaky radiator and called a few local plumbers to get some help with the repair. I have a difficult work schedule that made a visit during normal business hours difficult, but Mike and the team at Lesco plumbing were happy to work with me to find a convenient time.  

These guys are EXACTLY what you hope for when you have a service team enter your home. Honest and easy to understand explanations, no pressure or fear tactics, and always considerate of your home (like cleaning up messes and wearing shoe covers).

I highly recommend Lesco plumbing. I've called them back for several issues now and they are always great. It's a great comfort having a plumber I can trust, and Lesco always delivers :)

My husband and I called them to have a repairman come out and see what was wrong with our tenant's a/c unit. They told me they could take preventative measures on it and basically put a band aid on it. It would cost us $135. We had no problem with that.

When they saw the unit they told us taking preventative measures on it wouldn't do much good because we'd need to replace the whole thing. They gave us a quote for $5,450 for a new unit but a low end one. We told Howard that we'd be getting a 2nd quote and he lowered the price to $4,995. We told him we were still going to get a 2nd quote. Later that afternoon we got a call that they fixed the unit and it was going to cost us $950. We didn't tell him to go ahead and fix it nor at any point did he call and confirm with us if they could go ahead and fix it. So now I'm out $950 and it's our word against his.

Bottom line I will not be using Kook and Son ever again and will not recommend them to anyone.

I am literally copying and pasting this note from Royal Pro as they are the same company and seem to change their names constantly to avoid all the bad reviews, avoid these scammers at all cost:

We had Super Plumbers (they have changed their names several times) install an HVAC Unit and everything has been hellish since. Initially they put in a Rheem that is too big for our space. They tried to do work without getting the proper permits in Hoboken, NJ, to the point where our condo board reported them to the buildings department. We have since had several issues with leaks from the unit. I have had to call them in several times and they did not fix the problem, but managed to charge me extra for coming in. They blamed it on everything but their work including our pipes being clogged. Now we have another plumber dealing with it and they pointed out that the unit was installed too low and therefore is not draining properly, so they should have installed a drainage pump. We now have to pay for the pump and the work as well as the significant damage to the unit downstairs and in our hardwood floors. Now onto the courts.

Now onto the personalities. Frank the owner has been one of the rudest, most aggressive and obnoxious people we have ever worked with. At one point, he threatened to burn our apartment down. I have had several shouting matches to get them to come in and try to fix this debauchery. If you read this note and still use them, just be aware, you are going to have a lot of problems and only yourself to blame.

I am a realtor in Central NJ and needed a drain cleaned for a client in need in Jersey City NJ. I used Able SOS for work I needed done years ago so I gave my client their info. My client called me to let me know how professional, efficient and friendly their experience was with this company. They were extremely neat and protected my clients property while getting the job done and in the end that is what we want as customers. Highly recommended.
Thanks SOS for making me look good.

Horrible customer service. I call up with no contract to establish a contract and I'm told it will take a couple of days. Granted I'm having problems with my furnace and I need someone to look at it. These days nobody will service your oil furnace unless you have a contract with the oil provide...nice. Anyways, I am desperate with no heat in the house for a couple of days already since I lost it over the weekend. I call up and I'm told basically too bad, you can't just establish a contract to get your furnace serviced. Ha, if only they knew how much oil I go through every winter due to lack of insulation and bad radiators, they would be rolling in it. The real issue I have is the insensitive nature of these oil companies. So heartless...

TOTALLY UNRELIABLE
Do not use if you value your time as the service people do not show up for appointments. This happened to me twice in one week. The second time, I called several times during the day to confirm and was assured someone would show up at the designated time. After they hadn't shown again, I called and was put on hold while the receptionist said she'd call the driver.  I was disconnected and when I called back, no one answered. Not even an answering machine. Never again!
