Best Businesses in Pennsylvania

My old plumber passed into the great unknown, i.e., retirement to Florida, so when the hot water heater decided to die yesterday, I called around to a few Philly area plumbers with trepidation.  

JB Plumbing called me back promptly, and after sending Mark a few pics and measurements, he quoted me a fair price and promised to have his guys come the next morning. They were great!  Showed up on time in the pouring rain, they were quick, took care not to bump the walls, and cleaned up after themselves.  They wore masks without being asked and that was very reassuring.    

Less than 24 hours later I have hot water again.  I will definitely be calling JB the next time, because living in a 160-year old house means you will always have plumbing emergencies.

After having my sewer line back up twice in two years due to root intrusions in the terracotta (!) pipe, I decided it was time to replace rather than just clear the line.  Travas was one of 3  plumbers that came to assess the issue.   I was impressed with his knowledge of and comfort with excavation.  He offered a fair price and followed through on everything as promised.  Emails and texts were promptly returned, questions thoroughly answered, online payment was easy, and permits and inspection handled without incident.  He and his team got started at 8a and were done by 3p.  I remain impressed with the speedy and professional work.  I've found the plumber I'll be calling for as long as I call Philly home.

Brandon was great.

Our water heater and cast iron sewer pipe decided to leak at the same time.

Despite it being the holiday season, Brandon came out the next day and was able to assess the situation and gave us very knowledgable information.

He was willing to work with us on the price and got the work done within the week.

Highly recommend and will definitely use him again in the future!

For the second time received excellent services from Boss Plumbing & Heating. The services provided by both Jonathan and Kevin exceeded my expectations. I want to take time and to thank and express my sincere
appreciation for their expertise and professionalism.  Any company that is lucky enough to have employee's with their caliber is truly fortunate. They are a great asset to your company.  I strongly recommend Boss Plumbing and Heating for all of your needs. Very reasonable prices.

I've been using the same plumber for a number of years. I needed to make a change for several reasons, one being cost.  My regular plumber was getting to expensive. I thought there had to be other good plumbers out there that were more reasonable. I called Aqua plumbing and Billy answered right away. That was a plus right off the bat. Fortunately he was able to come the same day.
A few hours later he was at my door. I needed a whole new shower mechanism installed, as well as a new faucet on the bathroom sink.

He was very engaging, pleasant and more importantly, knowledgeable. His workers came the following week. They were just as pleasant and knowledgeable. They really made me feel at ease.
The job took a while because it's a small bathroom and very tight to work in. They were wonderful.
Took there time and made sure everything was done properly. The price was very reasonable. I was so happy I made the decision to try someone else.
I actually heard about them on Facebook. The reviews were great. So I gave them a try. So glad I did.
Thank you Billy, Vinny and Michael. There was one other guy but I can't remember his name.
I highly recommend them.

I think this company is a scam, but they might just be extremely unprofessional. Called them up early in the week for an estimate. Receptionist is pleasant, says they can send someone out on Wednesday around noon. They ask for a 50 dollar deposit that can either be refunded or applied to the job if I choose to go with them. Sounds reasonable enough, so I agree and the appointment is set up.

Two gentlemen arrive at my house between the time they sent me over text (12-3) and I show them the radiator system, boiler etc. While showing the boiler, the plumber starts talking about what could be wrong, and mentions that their general service fee is 340. I mention not being worried about that, seeing as I may need more than general service and I would wait till I get a break down of what I would be expected to pay for the service on my unit and the many other things they mentioned would probably need fixing. I never got that during my estimate though. After rambling a bit about what could be the issue, they eventually started looking at the radiators themselves.

He used his radiator key to bleed a couple of the ones he looked at. Then he mentioned getting started in which case I was confused, because I only wanted to get an estimate. I told the plumbers I only wanted an estimate today, no work to be done, seeing as I'm trying to shop around to get a decent deal and not just go with the first company I found with good reviews. Plumber sounded surprised, but then said okay and that they would update the invoice. Now I'm worried, should I not just be charged for an estimate? Why does that need to be updated?

Minutes after they leave I check my email and see that they sent me an invoice for 150 dollars. Purge multi zone baseboard heating system. This man came into my house, spent 10 minutes looking at the unit and bled a handful of radiators, and I'm suddenly charged 150 dollars? All I wanted was an estimate. I figured there had to have been some kind of miscommunication, so I call and the receptionist tells me they will have the plumber reach out to me. The plumber texts me, I said the price in which case you responded you weren't worried about that, so I took that as verbal committal. I literally wanted an estimate, and there was no break down of what that general service was for me to even remotely agree.

I try calling the phone number listed again to try to figure out why these guys were sent out with the expectation of doing more than an estimate, but they do not pick up the phone anymore when I call. I left a message but they have never called me back. So in the end, I was charged 50 dollars, with the expectation to pay another 150, for a guy to come out and bleed 3-4 of my radiators. If this is not a scam, than this is some of the worst business I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with. Be careful if you try to book business with this company.

Our sink overflowed on Saturday night. I got a quick response and service provided the next day. He was very accommodating with the time, punctual and professional. He explained was caused the issue and gave us some tips to prevent the issue from reoccurring. Would definitely recommend.

When we suddenly got water in our basement in the midst of trying to sell our home we panicked.  It was 8:30 on Saturday night that I called Goodman with our emergency and the plumber arrived by 11AM Sunday morning.  He quickly and efficiently diagnosed the problem (a clog in our main pipe) and solved it.  Thank goodness!

Rick was the first to respond to my Yelp inquiry after I discovered a leaking water heater in my new house. It was on a Saturday morning, and wasn't available until Monday, but eased my mind that based on the pictures I sent through Yelp's questionnaire and description of the problem, that it wasn't in need of emergency service. This was an incredibly smooth process, thanks Yelp!

We arranged an appointment (right through Yelp) for 9am Monday morning...Rick called ahead to confirm and arrived on time. He quickly confirmed his initial impression of either needing a new Temperature & Pressure valve or an expansion tank. Since the valve was cheaper, we started with that, but unfortunately didn't solve things. So he grabbed the tank right off his truck, installed it, and was done with everything in a matter of under 2 hours. He even asked if there was anything else he could take a look at while there, knowing we had just moved in.

In summary, Rick's demeanor, knowledge, and service performance were all commendable and left an excellent impression on us. I'd recommend Rick Lucas plumbing to anyone looking for a professional in this area!

One of the best Master Plumbers in the area. Always great work and affordable. He has done work on our inside plumbing and outside plumbing needs. I've used Miller Plumbing for several years now and I wouldn't think of using anyone else!

Great service. Our water heater was leaking, so I called in to get a quote. John called back by midday and talked me through options. They were able to get out the next day, and everything went smoothly. They ran me through what they had done and did their best to get the leaking/rusty water heater out without tracking water all over the place and cleaned up when they were done. Would definitely use them again.

Workers seem to be good. Pricing is outrageous, the tech quoted a new garbage disposal with install over $900. The disposal itself from Home Depot is $239, they charge a $65 fee for just coming out, not included in the $900 quote. Time and labor just over $600 for the install. So I ended up buying my home and installing it. Took me just a bit over an hr to install the plumbing was not set up to easily install it for my sink. I would recommend for people to just YouTube it and try to fix it your self before calling them out. I can't fault the person who quoted me this because it's the company making the prices. If your hiring for $600 an hour let me know I will be interested.

Was able to get out to the job I had fairly fast. Gave great advice and did a job well done.

I used them twice.
Both times they came to my home exactly when they said they would.
They were courteous and professional.
Their price was reasonable.
I Will use them again and recommend them to my friends and neighbors.

I cannot recommend Chris Williams enough. Chris has done many jobs for our family in both our previous home and our new home. He installed an entire master bathroom addition for us as well as other smaller jobs and repairs. Most recently Chris has helped us during a water main clog right before the holidays when we had family visiting and we're in a major pinch! If we had not hired him for the job, we would very likely have ended up with waste water overflowing in our first floor kitchen and bathroom on Christmas Eve!

He has gone above and beyond in many ways - from being available via text and cell at late hours, to taking the time to fully explain in layman's terms the details of every job he has done. He lets you know why he recommends the solution he is proposing as well as gives you options. He clearly thinks through each situation with care and does what is best for the homeowner. He and his team have always been courteous and kind, and on top of it all, his prices are very fair and reasonable. If prefer to work with someone you can trust and feel comfortable with, go with Chris!

I cannot say enough good things about Michael, who came out to look at my slow flushing toilet. I tried many things myself in an attempt to fix it and resolved myself to needing a new toilet, so I called MyPlumber. Michael first gave me a few tips over the phone, and when they didn't work, he came out. Most plumbers would have automatically told me I needed a new toilet, but Michael spent a good 30 minutes cleaning calcification out of the siphon jet with a wire hanger and the toilet was good as new. He was an unbelievably nice guy and even gave me some tips for unrelated plumbing issues he noticed in my bathroom. I have dealt with my fair share of crappy contractors and handymen so this was a nice change of pace. When you find a good one you have to hang on to them. Highly, highly recommend!

Easy scheduling and fast appointments. PJ was great and helped me understand the process and the work being done. He was on time and work very efficiently. I would recommend Mr. Rooter in the future

Used Yelp to find a plumber and I'm glad I gave this company a chance although the ratings were low.

Kevin responded quickly and came out within a day- which was much needed.

Very responsive and quoted me a great price.
Kevin was the worker who came out and he was friendly and explained exactly what needed to be replaced and showed me the finished product after.

I would recommend this business and would be using them again.
