Best Businesses in Philadelphia, PA

Had a problem with the main drain stack in my basement.  Mark came out the next day and quoted the repairs.  Better price than the rest of the guys plus he was going to patch the concrete floor where needed whereas the others said I would need to find a separate contractor for that. Came the next week to do the job and finished on-time and left it cleaner than he found it.

Andy came out within two hours of my call and did a fabulous job clearing the drain and explained every thing honestly and sincerely.    It looks like I've found a competent and honest plumbing service.

Agree with all the great reviews of Brandon here. He's very responsive and easy to coordinate with via texts and calls. Both times he came for an appointment, he texted updates on his ETA and was always on time or even early. He replaced an old toilet really quickly and we've been really happy with it since. Will definitely be calling him back for more plumbing work and general house jobs.

Boss Plumbing & Heating is fast and reliable. They came out the same day- actually within 30 minutes of my call! I will be calling them for future issues.

Was able to get a same day appointment for a second opinion after the gas company told us we had a leak with our heater line.

Aqua responded to my Yelp message and I was able to schedule an appointment for later in the day. They called saying they were running late and then the technician called to follow-up, giving an estimate of the time he would arrive.

Once he arrived (I believe it was Bobby), he was socially distant, wore a mask and was professional. We told him our situation and that we wanted a second opinion. He was honest and told us that our first opinion was correct in his assessment. He did point out some other things that may be the cause of our sewer smell and said he would be glad to come out again if the smell continued.

I wouldn't hesitate to use Aqua again - great company and service!

Highly recommend! We had a leaky drain issue with a DIY sink installation and I was at the end of my rope trying to figure out how to fix it. I left a voicemail on John's line and received a callback within 15mins. He was friendly and kind while asking questions to assess our situation, and luckily was able to dispatch his team within less than an hour due to a last-minute cancellation.
John's team (I think Anthony and Xavier?) were on-time, professional, and quick with their work. They wore face masks, which I appreciate during this latest wave of the pandemic. After finishing their work, they reviewed the fixes with me and patiently answered my questions.
Although this drain leak was such a minor issue, I don't have any regrets about the money I spent on for their expertise and speed. I feel much more confident about our new sink setup now that they've repaired my DIY-gone-wrong and looked over the rest of my work. Do the smart thing-- skip the DIY and call these guys instead!

I don't' give 5 stars unless the business goes above and beyond.  
I wanted to leave a review for Kit from Plumbing N Things because he totally deserves it.

I live just outside of Washington DC and my elderly mom lives out in Philly by herself.  She'd been having issues with her toilet and the water not filling up properly after she flushes. All she could say is that she hears leaky sounds every couple of hours.  

I finally scheduled an appointment with  another company rated high on yelp, drove up to Philly to be there for my mom and no one showed up!!! The other company gave me excuses about the other job taking so long and forgot to call us and said they can come another day.  Are you kidding me???

Frustrated and angry I continued down the list for another week calling and leaving messages.

Kit from Pluming N Things got back to me right away.  He was so nice on the phone and told me that I didn't have to drive up from DC again.  He offered to go out to my mom's place the following day and face timed me to explain what the problem was, gave me an estimate and because it wasn't a huge issue, he offered to fix the problem right away.

I saved 6 hours of RT driving time, toll, gas, and not to mention he was really nice on the phone and facetime, AND he didn't rip off an elderly lady and take advantage of her.  

Thank you so much Kit, for restoring my faith in plumbers.  I really appreciated your professionalism and kindness.

Not a good experience with the technician that came over . I think his name was Fred . I wasn't home , but my husband told me that we had two leaks and that it will cost one price for the pipe to be fix in back of the bathtub and the faucets needed to be changed . The job will cost $500. Plus. I asked the plumber if he could just change the stems because I wanted my handles to stay the same and he told me he couldn't . I thanked him for his time but no thanks and he handed my husband the phone and left abruptly . When I called another plumber it was a leak from somewhere else and nothing has to be change . I will not call this company for any of my plumbing problems.
Always get more than one estimate. This review is indented for the Goodman store on Castor Ave.

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.

After receiving a call from the water department about my $300 outstanding bill I knew it had to be from the toilet in our powder room. I had called a different local plumber from the yellow pages 2 weeks prior and never got a return call. So I tried again, this time via yelp and selected Miller Plumbing. They are local and had positive reviews. He was very responsive and fit me in that same day as he had another call in the neighborhood. He was on time, and diagnosed and solved the problem immediately and explained why, although the toilet is getting older, there was no need to replace it. He also took care of a local neighbor who called him when I told them he was visiting me that day. Miller Plumbing is now the only call I will make.

John made a repair to my house heater, which solved  the problem..  However, 4 days later  PGW came to house in response to my call to them of gas leak.  PGW shut off gas to  heater.  It  couldn't be used due to gas leak.  Called John 4 times to ask him to return and see what was wrong.  He never returned phone calls.     Called another plumber and  I bought a new heater and it was installed the next day.  Never did hear from John.  That could have been a nice sale for you John but you were a no show   Jan 18, 2017

Poor communication from the technician led to my dog ingesting sewage and whatever else was scraped out of my main drain lines. I'm being generous giving 1 star, but at least my sewer drain line is clean I guess?

To make a long story short, the technician did a fine job cleaning the sewer drain line, but they then went and (without communicating this to me) dumped all of the junk they vacuumed out of my sewer drain line into my back yard. The next day, my dog was in the backyard and managed to get into the pile and came back in vomiting everywhere. Fortunately, the dog got most of it out of her system fairly quickly and doesn't appear to have any lasting effects, but who knows what she ingested?! What if it had been my kids?

Totally unprofessional of the technician to even think that it's okay to dispose of human waste (and more) in our backyard, and then on top of it, not even communicate it to me. Fortunate for me, I had a camera that verified the actions of this technician so I could at least feel better before accusing them of this.  

I certainly can't see myself using this company again as I just can't trust them. I didn't think I needed to ask how the technician was going to dispose of the waste, but that's now on my list of questions for future plumbing work...

Main drain backed up into the basement and needed it snaked on a Sunday morning. Bommer had an emergency line and came out within 90min of phone call. Emergency/weekend fee was very reasonable! Started working immediately. Back to normal within an hour. Technician was knowledgeable and gave us recommendations to prevent reoccurrence and potential support from the township. Would absolutely recommend! Great price and service.

Zip to Zip is great.
They unclogged my kitchen pipes and showed up early.

Don't waste your money on Lye and Crystal Heat.
All of those liquid plumbers are garbage too.
I spent about $50 on those shits before finally calling a plumber.

We are currently using Williams Precision Plumbing to renovate the hall bathroom. Chris and his team do an amazing job and are professional and polite. Chris came for the free estimate and spent time answering all my questions. He is also very responsive via email and text which has made scheduling very easy. I will use them again for our future plumbing needs!

I've used My Plumber on two occasions now, and couldn't be happier with the experience. Bernie not only thoroughly explained my issues, but also explained how my century-old home's plumbing is set up, and where potential weak points are. Unlike some professionals I've dealt with over the years, it was very much a service rather than a sales call, as I'm sure there were things they could have tried to charge me for, but didn't. This is only the third review I've ever written on Yelp, but it's for good reason -- My Plumber is the easiest of recommendations.

Called yesterday and got everything I needed to get fixed in less than 24 hrs. Service professional, Joe McPhilemy was prompt and kind. He was very transparent and willing to answer all questions. He gave me a call when he was running late and I received all notifications about the appt via email and text. Overall service was amazing and quick. Thank you so much, Joe!

I had a few leaky pipes in my basement which resulted in flooding as well as a clogged toilet. I called Kevin at 9am on Monday morning and by 2pm he was at my house checking out the basement for me. What I thought was a leaking pipe in my basement turned out to be a whole other issue that Kevin was able to take care of for me. After a quick inspection and an estimate, Kevin was at my house bright and early on Wednesday morning. His prices were reasonable, he was prompt, quick and quiet. Now thanks to Kevin there is no more leaking in my basement and my toilet is fixed. I am 100% satisfied and will recommend Kevin and Vinko plumbing for any plumbing or heating services in the future!
