Best Plumbing Services in New York

Had another company come to clear a clogged main sewer line and after running 60 feet of cable it still was clogged. Told me I needed high pressure flush to clear years of sludge that acculturated.
Price offered $1200 and I was like WTH and he could not do it that day. I decided to call the original 718 sewer and drain company to see if they had somebody that could help. I spoke with Jimmy on the phone although it was his day off he was quick to take a call and see if he could give us some assistance. Within three minutes I got a call back telling me a technician Victor would be there within the hour. Upon victors arrival I explained the situation with the other company what they did the first thing he did was open up the manhole cover in the street to check the main drain. Everything seems to be functioning normally there so he came in surmised the situation and said traditional snake would not be effective. He also recommended the high pressure cleaning although at half the price the other company had quoted. Still a bitter pill to swallow being a homeowner what choice do you have I put my faith in him he took care of the problem immediately courteously and  efficiently. My pipes are now clean, LOL I did not think that they took advantage rather offered immediate and sound advice to remedy this situation. I would not hesitate to recommend this company and if you get Victor consider yourself lucky.

Excellent service... highly recommended... look no further for all of your plumbing needs!!!
Peter and Javier were wonderful to work with. They installed three new toilets for me and a kitchen faucet, all for a very reasonable price. This job was not easy and they encountered several problems along the way, but they came up with creative solutions and got everything done. I have never written a review on Yelp before, but for Peter and Javier I feel that I must. Trust me... you will not be disappointed as really they are the best!

I had sewer line backup and needed to get it addressed ASAP. L&C were super-responsive, came right away, fixed issue without gouging me. THANK YOU-hopefully we won't have issues but we would definitely use L&C again!

A part in our boiler system was starting to go bad, occasionally making sharp noises and leaking lubricating oil. We used Yelp's Projects feature to look for contractors to help us resolve this situation. I added a picture of the part making unusual noises to my Yelp project request to provide some detail about the situation.

Tom's Plumbing & Heating Services responded first. From my photo, Justin identified my malfunctioning part as the circulator pump, and after a few questions confirming that nothing else was wrong, Justin recommended that the circulator pump be replaced. He provided two options for circulator pumps, along with web links and total costs for each option, and a web link to my existing circulator pump for reference. I selected a pump with horsepower equivalent to my existing pump. The cost of all parts that Justin referenced were roughly equivalent on Amazon.com.

Other vendors requested a complete picture of the boiler system, or had initial consultation fees.

The service visit totaled roughly 90 minutes. In that time, Justin:
- Replaced the boiler drain valve because it hasn't been used in many years and no longer worked
- Drained my boiler
- Installed the new circulator pump
- Bled (i.e., removed air from) most of my radiators. Justin emphasized the importance of bleeding the radiators, as air in the system reduces the boiler's efficiency.
- Demonstrated how to override the water pressure regulator in case of insufficient system pressure.
- Pointed out other potential points of failure to monitor in the boiler system -- the water pressure regulator and expansion tank.

Overall, we were very happy with the service provided.

Thanks to Mike S. for his review, which helped in our selection!

Bruno was extremely responsive, always prompt and fairly priced. I found BK through Yelp having never used Bruno before. I had a toilet that was leaking through the floor. I would definitely recommend BK, especially in a world where many service providers regularly run late or are unresponsive. He took care of my problem and was pleasant to work with. While i wouldn't say he was cheap, I would certainly say his price was fair for the work done. Some plumbers charge a large amount just to show up. That wasn't the case with Bruno. He also communicated well via text to coordinate and keep me informed on scheduling.

They quoted one price over the phone, charged my card before arriving, then when they arrived, said they wouldn't do the work unless I paid double the price they said on the phone. They refused to refund the amount they stole from me. Very dishonest and untrustworthy.

Chris did a great job with fixing a valve on my boiler. He took his time to explain how it works and what he needed to do. No further issues. Price quote was fair and accurate. I would absolutely use Intrepidus again.

Found Top Pro Plumbing via yelp.  I needed a pipe in the basement fixed that had developed a leak.  Benny responded very quickly on yelp.  We set up a time to meet and he came and gave me a free estimate.  It was fair and very reasonable so we set up to do the work the next day.   Benny called and showed up on time and the pipe was changed quickly with no surprises.  I am setting up an appointment now for other plumbing work that needed to be done that I had been putting off.  Thanks, Benny!

Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic! I came home on a Friday evening to a broken water heater and a damp basement. Given all of the phased openings and general uncertainty around Covid-19 my family expected cold showers until Monday at least I launched a request for quotes either way.

Tom and Fred responded to my request almost immediately! Then I had to re-read the message several times because I could not believe they would be available for this job Saturday morning (the very next day)! But it gets better, they showed up early! It's early Saturday AM, we have a fantastic new water heater, cleanly installed and the old water heater has been carted away. I can't say enough about Serve-Well, hire this team with confidence!

We've hired WaterMac Plumbing twice and will continue to for all our plumbing needs ! Kyle came both times and the first time he went out of his way to help us, we had a Rebath shower, the faucet was leaking badly. Every other plumber told me the wall would have to be knocked down or some just out right refused. Kyle was nice enough to talk to the company that made the part I needed and fixed it ! Yesterday he installed a double sink, great job and the best part is they didn't rip us off ! I would highly recommend them !

I had an issue with installing a bidet toilet seat because our bathroom setup was irregular. GG Plumbing suggested the part that would fix the issue. This was after I already tried to ask many other plumbing companies for solutions to no avail. I even went to a plumbing supply store but that didn't help either. Thanks to GG Plumbing, I was able to install the toilet seat with minimum cost. Even though I didn't need for GG to come help, his quoted price was also much more reasonable than the other plumbing companies I reached out to.

We recently had an issue with needing a sign-off and he responded immediately.  

He has a master plumber license and that means he can get things done directly with Department of Buildings.  Uptown property owners needing to find a good plumber should seek him out.

Chris was very professional and helpful. On my first call with him, he didn't upsell me or force to come over to charge me for an eval fee.

Instead, he listened to my problem, did a quick diagnosis over the phone, and asked me to try re-caulking my bathtub. No upselling, all honest, reasonable, and professional suggestions.

Unfortunately, the ceiling was still leaking after the re-caulking, and he eventually had to come take a look. Turns out it was a leaky toilet. At a very reasonable price, he fixed the leak despite having to deal with all our feces and urine all over the floor. Never once did he complain.

Chris is a plumber I can trust, and I won't hesitate to call him if I ever have any water or pipe issues in the future.

Can't say enough about Manny and the good people at Franco Belli. They answered all my questions, did the job, and found ways to save me money by not breaking tile. Also, at no charge, Manny gave me suggestions on a type of faucet to buy, and THEN took my call when I was at the plumbing supply store. When the plumbing supply store sold me the wrong thing, two plumbers from Franco Belli negotiated the return. They were wonderful, knowledgeable, and kind.

Highly recommend.  Installed new shower tub valve in East Village coop. Super fast and affordable.   We plan on using again for all our plumbing  needs in East Village.

I had a very bad experience with them. My wife called them to remove our drain from the tub, something very simple for a plumber. They told us on the phone that its $85 for the call and if additional services needed, the guy would tell us in advance. The guy came and it took him about 15 minutes of work to complete the job. Only then, I was told that the job would cost $320!!!
I later found out that this did not even include taxes and they actually billed us $348!! That was after he completed the job and not before like I was told.
Needless to say, my wife and I felt completely manipulated by these people. Quite a trick they have. I would have never agree to pay that much if I knew at the beginning that this would be the cost.

I had a guy that was willing to do the job for a $100, flat. I should have gone with him.

I hope my story will be a warning for the rest of you.

Highly recommended!
I chose Rusty Sewer and Drain as recommended  by a friend and gave 5 star review and was more than satisfied with the service and results. Rusty are incredible. Called for what had become a somewhat recurring problem with a clogged pipe in my Auntie's house. They went above and beyond to attempt to fix it and lay out available long term options.
Very honest and gave me good deal
So happy to be able to use this local, family run business. No one wants plumbing issues but  so glad  to have them on speed dial for when issues do arise. Rare to have something so stressful turn into an absolute pleasure but they managed to make it happen and make my Auntie very happy.
Thanks for making our experience worth now I am spreading good news to my classmates here and even in Jersey .

Our sewer line broke causing a back up. We did not want water damage and immediately searched for a company that can help. I requested a quote on yelp and got a response back in less than 20 minutes. They arrived, walked me through the process, the scope of work, and completed my new sewer line in 2 days. Highly recommended, they were professional, finished in a timely manner and were cost sufficient.

Nush is professional, decent, and incredibly knowledgeable. He is also, most importantly, trustworthy. 4 months ago I was installing a new bathroom and he came to put in the rough in valves. I told him I'd like him to come back after I finished the tiling to put the fixtures on the valves and he agreed. I paid him the entire amount up front. 4 months later I texted him to tell him the bathroom was ready for him to put in the fixtures. The only experience I had with him was back in November and frankly I was iffy on whether he would bother to come back. He did. Not only did he do that, but when I asked him to install my toilet, he quoted me, started putting it in and then pointed out a problem that meant I actually needed to replace the toilet. He could have just installed it, pocketed the money and been on his way but instead he told me he'd come back to install it after the new toilet arrived, and you know what? I believe him.

He's my go-to guy now. If he's busy, I'll wait until he's free. He's that good.

Unethical, incompetent plumber and then a defensive supervisor when I called to relay the disastrous estimate experience,
.. it's NYC you can find a plumber elsewhere.
