Best Businesses in Philadelphia, PA

A pipe fitting broke just before Thanksgiving dinner.  Was able to shut off water and clean up mess and went on with dinner.  The next morning I entered a Yelp request to four plumbers.  Within 10 minutes, Mark (the owner of JB Plumbing) responded, saying he lived in the same town I do and could come over.  He did and evaluated the situation.  It was a bit more extensive than first thought, and unfortunately he didn't have the right part in hand.  He called another plumber to see if they could help and checked various supply houses.  Ultimately he said that if I couldn't get someone in to let him know, and he'd bring over one of his techs from Philadelphia, pick up the needed part, and be back at 8:30am the next morning.

Given the reponses of the other plumbers and the high ratings of JB, I decided best to go with the bird in hand.  Great decision - they were on time, careful of the property, and wasted no time in fixing the problem.  They also rerouted a valve for the sprinkler system that made it much easier to find and operate.

I'm very appreciative of the quick response, genuine desire to help, and the quality of the work.

Thanks Mark/JB Plumbing!

I put in a request for quotes at 9:00 PM, and by 9:04, I had a response from Economy Drain Cleaning & Plumbing for two availability windows for someone to come by the following day, as early as 8 AM (so less than 12 hours after my initial request!). Two plumbers arrived within the window I requested and were able to remove a broken and leaky garbage disposal and re-plumb my under-sink area with regular pipes (since I wasn't ready to commit to a brand-new disposal). They worked quickly and efficiently, and I'm very pleased with the results. They charged what I felt was a very decent rate for service and parts, and they were done before I knew it. I would definitely consider them for future needs!

Brandon is great! He was very responsive, and was able to fit me in soon after I called him. He gave me a very reasonable set quote to replace my kitchen faucet and completed the work quickly with no problems. I also showed him around the house to other things that needed to be done and he was helpful in explaining and advising and gave me a quote for those items as well. I would highly recommend him!

Just bought a home. I needed to install a new sink in my bathroom, went to turn off the shutoff valve and boom - valve starts leaking. I call Boss Plumbing and Heating, text them a video of the leak, and Warren and his crew were out the next day. There were some unexpected issues with cutting in a new valve, but they were still able to get the job done fast and done right for a reasonable price. Warren is very responsive and easy to talk to, and if I ever have another plumbing issue, I know who I am calling.

I was so pleased with the service I got from Aqua Plumbing. I had called a different plumber to look at my kitchen faucet which was leaking a ton of water from the base - to the point where there was a huge puddle under the sink and on the floor. This first plumber took one look at it and told me that the whole faucet would need to be replaced...but this very same plumber had installed that faucet in my house about 7 months before.

I called Aqua for a second opinion, and after looking at it thoroughly he determined that a piece of the faucet needed to be tightened, which he did, and that fixed the problem! He didn't even charge me for the service. :)

Responded very quickly Meghan was great and so helpful setting up the appt. Xavier Came on time and fixed everything. He was very nice and reliable! Highly recommend!

Kit and his team are wonderful to work with. We needed a new water heater to be installed within a difficult, small location within our house, and we were debating whether or not we could use a tankless water heater. Prior to the appointment, Kit texted with me back and forth over my options and answered all of my questions, and in the end we realized a traditional water heater made the most sense. Kit and his team then arrived right on time for the appointment (I feel like that is a rarity with many contractors these days), and he was incredibly respectful and communicative. He noticed that I didn't have shoes on in our house and we had a shoe rack with shoes lined up on it, and so he asked if we normally don't wear shoes in our house and offered to take his shoes off. I was so shocked and grateful since I've never had a contractor be that considerate before! Not only did he do a great job removing our old water heater and installing a new one, but he also cleaned up afterwards and put everything back the way it was. He truly was a pleasure to work with, and I'm grateful to have a plumber whom we know we can trust to communicate as needed throughout the process and can do great, professional work. Thanks again!

At 9:30AM my water heater exploded. Within an hour Nick from Goodman had called me, taken my model number, retrieved a new heater and was at my front door. Nick and Jeremy made a stressful situation much more manageable. They kept things light and were extraordinarily efficient and polite. They even gave me a referral for Elite Water Damage and Restoration services who joined onsite within 20 minutes of my call. By noon my water was running and Nick and Jeremy had cleaned up and were on their way. Best service experience I've ever had in my home. I highly recommend these guys.

This is 3rd time we used Rick.  Always responsive and communicates.  First rate work and our projects are not easy  Meticulous and very reasonable rates.

Very responsive and quality work.  Will definitely use    Them again.  Difficult hot water heater install, but done without an issue or additional charge

He's simply honest. His work is always well done, he calls back later to make sure you're happy with it, he answers all questions in a way I can understand and never asks to speak to my husband or dad. They arrive on time, communicate well and their prices are fair. If you call for something he thinks you can do yourself, he'll flat out tell you how to trouble shoot it and to call back if you actually need him. Honest and hard working. Recommend him to all my neighbors as they move in. He's everyone's go to plumber on my block!

Tim Cullen is AMAZING. This is the third time I've used Valdel Plumbing. They are always so fast and courteous. I know I can rely on them for an efficient job well done. I had a corroded sink pipe, which Tim replaced in a flash. He was super nice and showed me exactly what was wrong with the pipe. He's great with pets and just an all around friendly and personable guy. I felt like we were best friends by the time he left, and he was only here for 40 minutes. Highly recommend Tim and Valdel.

Didn't call them first, the first call would not show up. It was late, they came out they took care of it till it was done. I was very happy with their service.

They arrived within 1 hr. after call, repaired my toilet in less than an hour. Fast and did a great job. I plan on using them again.

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!

They started off great on the first job, but when the job failed, they didn't call back, didn't show for the appointment and left me hanging for weeks! I had to call another plumber and pay again for the job to be fixed correctly! I was really disappointed in them.

My husband and I are recent Mr. Rooter customers our service technician was Scott McFarley This review is more for Scott than his company, Scott went over and beyond the duties he was sent to our home to  perform. Once Scott performed the request for which he came  evaluating and giving us an estimate for a sump pump which was reasonable compared to some of the other estimates that we'd received. Scott left our home and continued his investigation of our basement flooding problem. Through Scott's diligence and dedication to his job Scott found another solution to our water problem and saved my husband and I three thousand dollars!!!! Thank you Scott your are the MVP.

Never got the courtesy of a response. Not quite getting why Yelp recommended them if that's how they behave. Best to move on from plumbers like this one.
