Best Businesses in New York, NY

We had a running toilet in our house, I reached out to Mike and he was able to fix our problem, he explained what the problem was and he even stuck around to make sure the problem was completely fixed. I highly recommend Mike for your plumbing issues.

While booking the appointment could have been smoother, John Sr. and Jr. really knew their stuff! They found a good heatless alternative to sweating a fitting in an insulated wall and had my leaky valve replaced in about an hour despite working in a very tough location. They also managed to do this without damaging any of the tile, which will make patching the access hole much simpler.

I know enough about plumbing to evaluate their work, and it's top-notch.

7/18/20:   Nassau county residence.  This was not an emergency as our basement slop sink blockage resolved on its own overnight.  The same thing happened  6 months ago so we decided to have our sub-main and  main pipes looked at where we suspected some intermittent blockage was occurring.  Richard had all 5 star reviews on yelp ( except for one 4 star review) and his website mentioned routine use of a CAMERA snake to get the job done at  $195,  with one year guarantee ( which is not offered by most in this line of work) . Pricing is reasonable and clearly stated online - so  prices are not based on your zip code or the size of your home. His stated working hours did not include sunday, so we scheduled with a neighborhood plumber whose fee was higher, charged extra $200 to use a camera should one be needed and offered no guarantee of his work.   But luckily, as I said, our sink blockage resolved on its own overnight -- so we canceled that appointment and made one with Richard on a weekday.  So glad we did that.  
The snake of his machine broke so Richard had to reschedule for the next day.  Such things happen.   He came today, on time, with a mask  (covid-19 )  and brought 2 large machines  ( snaking machine and a camera machine) on rollers to the basement.  On camera, we could see our submain and main pipes were clean till he got to around 59  feet out towards the street and found a large loose ball of roots that had grown by inserting itself in the junction area between 2 main pipes.  We have a large tree in front of our house.  This was definitely the culprit.  He had a rotary attachment tool to wack if off - which left a few short root ends behind.  He advised having this area snaked with a camera every 1-2 years cause the roots will surely regrow again.   It took 1.5 hours from time he rang our doorbell to time he left.  We thought such work would create a lot of splattering and mess -- but not at all.   THE CAMERA IS ESSENTIAL IN DIAGNOSING THE CAUSE OF THE BLOCKAGE AND PROVIDING VISUAL CONFIRMATION  THAT IT IS 100% REMOVED.  Otherwise, you are left guessing.   This fiber optic camera technology  is similar in principle to that used by cardiologists to see blocked arteries or to what GI docs use in colonoscopy.     Because he specializes only in this narrow trade of  unclogging drainage and sewer pipes  -- one can assume that his white truck has all the necessary equipment / tools to deal with a variety of blockage problems.  
His is a one man and one woman (his wife who answers the calls) business for the past 14 years.  He used to do electrical work way back when he was in the Navy in CA.  He grew up in Brooklyn, his business office is based in Massapequa.   He is professional,  mild-mannered and pleasant person to deal with.  Its hard to find an honest person to do work at your home who will NOT rip you off.   The only drawback with him is that since he is the only employee of his business, you may not always be able to avail of him in an emergency.  Usually, he does not work on Sundays which he reserves for family time.  But call to find out.   Right now, we are trying to find someone to replace our broken water heater but so far the plumbers we've spoken to charge exorbitant fees and try to sell you overpriced maintenance or warranty deals.  Thus, Richard is a great find.

I started discussing the project I had with Ciro back in April. I needed someone to add mesh to the bottom of my fence line to deal with rats coming from neighboring yards.  This required digging up a garden and trying to preserve the 70 year old plants along the fence line. He took a look at the job and gave a very reasonable price.  Ciro did the work in one day, came on time, prepared with his own tools and left the job site in a clean fashion (and he provided me with a receipt).  A true professional.   Brooklyn is in the need of a good handyman and I think they found one.  I look forward to using Ciro again in the future.

Fixed our drain in one visit.  Very helpful.  Didn't quit until we got the drain unplugged.

Great service and communication.
Care to the job and great work.
Came quickly and was able to find the causes the problem and quickly fixed it.

Dennis and/or Fidel always do a great job and really take the time to cover all options to fix our problem.  We've used them for clogged drainage pipes two times, a clogged toilet, and a clogged sink that just wouldn't unclog with the store bought stuff.  They come on time every time and are super professional.  Sorry for not leaving a review until 2 years and five services later!

Huge sewer back up happened in my home! I called Progressive and within the hour they showed up to help! They found the problem to be a faulty check valve and the backup a result of DEP's negligence. After they helped to keep the sewage water at bay, they installed a new check valve and a pump and helped clean up the mess! Simply the best!

Mike did a fantastic job re-routing some pipes, adding a washing machine drain and installing a slop sink. Highly recommend him for great work and honest pricing!

We had a frozen pipe that turned into 3 burst pipes, as well as some other related problems.  They came out right on time, and handled a 2-day job perfectly.  They explained their charges in advance, and showed all of the work they did as it was fixed.  Perhaps as a result of a prior review, they cleaned up everything really well.  All of the broken pipes were saved for insurance, and they discounted the bill by quite a bit due to what the owner perceived as an error by his employee.  (I didn't, and still don't, think it was an error - and didn't ask for the discount.  This was as perfect a plumbing experience as I could hope for.  They are my first call for any future plumbing repair.  A+.

Great company. They are neat, fast & professional, The worker named Mark is the best one , has all the tools , knows his plumbing , very respectful, I only want him & he is the only one that will come out on emergencies

Great experience! Ricardo responded quickly to my Yelp message, and was able to come fix the exhaust fan in my bathroom the very next day. Great quality of work and he was also very timely and tidy, which is something I haven't seen with other electricians. I highly recommend him!

We had an emergency on January 17th, 2020.  Our heat was no longer turning on and it was approximately 20 degrees Fahrenheit outside (with the windchill).  We have a 6 month old infant, so the situation was very serious as the house dropped to 59 degrees Fahrenheit inside by 7pm.  We tried to handle the situation ourselves, but gave up and called Jay (the owner) at JV Mech.  He immediately answered the phone, gave me a reasonable  quote, and came over as promised within 2 hours after servicing two other clients.   He was very transparent and resolved our issue fairly quickly after going over every possible scenario.  I would highly recommend this company for HVAC issues because of their honesty, ability to quickly assess the situation, and extensive knowledge of HVAC systems.

I am very pleased with Plumbwell services.  The owner inspected the job to be done beforehand and communicated very well with me to understand the scope of work and options available.  I felt in good hands and no upselling on his part.  Brian is an exceptional plumber and is very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable.  He really goes the extra mile.  I would definitely recommend this company to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy plumbing company.  I researched many before deciding on this one.

strangely disappeared after paid deposit.  fraud ?
