Best Businesses in Philadelphia, PA

We have used these services for years on a variety of projects and have been very pleased. Mark has always been very responsive and his prices reasonable. Our old house and my tastes have posed difficult challenges to the crew and they have risen to every occasion. The crew shows up when they say they will. And if something isn't quite right, they are quick to make it right. We highly recommend!

Economy saved the day! 2 days before selling our house we had an issue with a drain pipe. Anthony came out the day of our request and we cannot say enough good things about him. He took the time to figure out what the issue truly was, tried various ways to fix it and didn't stop until he completely solved the issue. He even stayed beyond working hours to make sure he completely and successfully finished the job. We really lucked out with finding Economy and we would recommend them any day! Thank you, Anthony!!

We had a slow leak from a section of cast iron drain pipe that wasn't replaced when the rest of the plumbing was upgraded. Brandon was amazing. He communicated clearly every step of the way, was timely, professional, and knew exactly what to do. Completed whole job in less than 4 hours and left the house spotless. This guy is outstanding. We're very grateful.

Called after hours and the guy picked up. Set a time for the next day. Overall, felt he was friendly and communicated well. Asked for a video of the issue to properly assess the problem. Priced the issue right over the phone. Roommate stayed home and met him at the set time (just a little late) the next day. Snaked the backed up sewer line and took videos for IG (without my knowledge) of his process. $385 for the service. I had no reference point for the cost so I agreed. I asked for additional info/detail from him via email for my insurance, which he agreed to but never sent. Roughly 2 weeks later and the same blockage is happening. He stated over the phone that it could be a bigger issue (curb trap, a $4k+ installation) but if he came to do it he exact same job it would be another $385. Next door neighbor had the identical issue 1 week after my initial blockage and got a diff company to come out and clear her curb trap and clear her drain issue for $285.  I have called them to come service my issue correctly. It appears Boss neglected to check all possible blockage points, as the issue has quickly returned.

EDIT:
2nd company came out. Looked at the curb trap as a first step and immediately determined the issue was blockage outside, not inside the home. They retrieved the item blocking the drain and showed me the all clear on their camera system. This part of the drain was not looked at by Boss. Problem resolved by 2nd company, unfortunately for the exact same price.

The guys were very educational and did an excellent job locating and fixing a hidden leak with minimal damage to ceiling and kitchen cabinets.

We couldn't be more thrilled with our experience with John Snyder Plumbing. He answered the phone directly himself and was super easy to work with by text messaging and cell phone - always with lightning fast responses. John and his assistant came on time and did our job quickly, quietly, and with an extremely professional approach. You can tell just by his snazzy pink van, that this is a guy who takes care of his business and his customers! We are super happy with the results, and the work area and our home was left spotless. Even settling the invoice by venmo was a super easy piece of cake! Thank you so much... I'm almost looking forward to our next plumbing problem!

What a great experience.  I messaged him and he got back to me right away with a quote to fix a running toilet.  He came the next day, on a weekend, and fixed it right away.  He was so nice to my wife and I and updated us throughout.  Definitely will call him again when we need plumbing help.

Technician Saiid(sorry if I misspelled it) showed up and was extremely helpful. he assessed the leak issue I had, figured out what next steps I could take & was extremely courteous and understanding through the process of getting it fixed. He went out of his way to help adjust my shower as well to allow for hot water access, where previously I was taking cold showers. thank you for coming out in the snow to come help in this emergency situation I was dealing with!

Highly recommended!  I needed a plumber to fix something I tried doing myself (water supply line for an ice maker) but I screwed it up and needed a pro.  In the meantime a bucket was catching the drips.

Earlier in the day I had a plumber come from one of the bigger companies whose trucks I have seen in our area for years, come give an estimate.  He took a look, said he had to go call the boss, then came back with an absurdly high estimate.

Using Yelp I found Rick Lucas plumbing locally and called.  Rick answered the call, said he could be there within 1-2 hours, would call first.  He called back as promised and arrived shortly thereafter.

Rick took a look at what was needed.  He also determined that some additional copper piping adjacent to what I messed up needed to be repaired as it was corroded, and verbally gave me a price.

Rick not only replaced all the necessary piping including the additional areas that he recommended, he also added the necessary fittings and connections and shutoff valve and flexible steel supply hose and completed the connection to our new refrigerator.  Rick worked non-stop, and is professional, courteous and friendly, and cleaned up afterwards.

Best of all his price was 33% less than the first place that came.  (Plus I returned the parts I previously bought to Home Depot and Lowes so saved even more).

I am very pleased that I had Rick Lucas Plumbing do this job at our home, and wouldn't hesitate to call him the next time I need a plumber.

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

I had Valdel replace four toilets and install a kitchen sink faucet.  The work was all done promptly and professionally, and we've had no issues ~6 months later.

However during removal of one of the old toilets, the plumbing technician dropped one of the old toilets down our stairs, causing some damage to our hardwood floored stairs and the marble tile in our entryway.

Valdel fully covered the costs for the necessary flooring repairs. They were helpful and responsive to work with during the process of selecting contractors and having the repairs done.

Accidents can always happen, so it is good to know when a company is willing to take responsibility and handle incidents in a professional manner.  I would be more than willing to work with Valdel again based on my experiences.

Trusted professionals all the way!

We had a leak in our downstairs bathroom which was clearly caused by the master shower directly upstairs. We initially called in another plumber, and he and his boss felt very strongly that a hairline crack in the pan of our master shower was causing the issue. They came back with an estimate of $7,000 to redo the entire master shower (and vanity). What? We called Bommer Plumbing for a second opinion and boy, are we glad we did.

Jim arrived right on time and he worked with my husband and me to troubleshoot the leak. He spent close to 90 minutes at our place. Long story short, the culprit of the leak was worn caulk along the top of of the master shower basin, NOT a hairline crack. We all cheered when the source was found! We saved thousands of dollars with this (accurate) diagnosis. And he even pointed out a potential issue with the electric source for our downstairs bathroom fan.

Jim was knowledgeable, professional, courteous, and hilarious. We were cracking jokes like old buds. He was awesome!  And office staff is super friendly. They keep you apprised of your plumber's whereabouts on the day of your appointment. They even send a picture of your plumber so you know what they look like ahead of time. This was a great touch and much appreciated, as you can never be too careful these days.

I cannot recommend this company enough. Don't do what we did and call Bommer Plumbing second...call them FIRST.

Our kitchen sink stopped draining, and despite my best efforts with the drain snake it just wouldn't budge.  Time to call in professionals.  Luan and Kapo responded to a request for quotes within minutes, and arrived when they said they would just about down to the minute.  My simple unclogging of the kitchen pipes turned out to be a larger problem that involved replacing a section of pipe and doing some heavy duty augering.  They went out to the nearest store for supplies - mind you, this is now 9 PM on Saturday night - came back, and worked until almost midnight to fix the original problem and the subsequent other problems they found.  They explained what the root cause of the issue was, answered my questions about it (without upselling of any kind), and made sure the problem was good and fixed before they left.  The work came in at a higher price than quoted because....well, it turned out to be a lot more work, but the price I wound up paying was more than fair.  If you need work done you could definitely do a lot worse.

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!

Great service and would definitely call again if I need plumbing services again. He came out in a snow storm to snake my toilet. When we realized something had fallen off the shelf above the toilet into the toilet and that snaking it wouldn't help, he provided great recommendations on a new toilet. He didn't charge me for that initial visit. He picked up the new toilet, lugged it up 4 flights, and quickly removed the old toilet and installed the new one. Really nice guy and great service.

Diagnosed and cleaned the drainpipe and gave me an excellent grade in my main drainpipe. Reliable and personable - you can't go wrong.

Vinko came out quick.  The job was on our old house with a copper drain that leaked at the I bend.  Quickly shored it up and now we can use our bathroom again.  The price was also very reasonable.  No unnecessary upsells. Very appreciative of the work they did.
