Best Businesses in Philadelphia, PA

I signed up for yelp just to leave this review...I realized my hot water heater broke yesterday morning...I called JB and left a message at around 7:30 am...Mark, the owner, got back to me in about 5 or 10 minutes at the most...he mentioned they were swamped that day, but he would personally inspect my heater to determine the issue...turns out it needed replacement as I suspected...within 24 hours of my initial call, I had a brand new hot water heater installed and previous one removed...I'm a long time home owner in the Philly area and this was by far the best and least painful experience I have had with any repair/install service. If I had three thumbs I'd give three thumbs up! Nice work and even nicer people.

Our main sewer was clogged leaving us unable to use the toilets, shower, sinks, etc.  I fruitlessly called plumbers we'd used in the past; no one even bothered to return calls or follow-up. I lucked into finding Economy Drain Cleaning & Plumbing. They answer the phone promptly, set up a time to visit your house, text confirmation and show up on time! They worked thoughtfully and relentlessly for several days  to fix our complex problem. Their persistence saved us a lot of money: we *did not* have dig up the yard.  The owner and the staff were professional, kind and thorough. My husband is nearly deaf (I wasn't home) and the plumber took the time to make sure my husband 'heard' about  the problem & solution. Their fees are fair and likely lower than anyone else. Their work is excellent , I can't praise them enough. I'm happy that I now have a reliable plumber to call when I need help.

I needed someone to assemble my 12 ft Christmas Tree. It weighs nearly 200 pounds and needed to be carted from the basement to the first floor. Within 3 hours of my posting I had an appointment with A-1 Handyman and Home Plumbing. Brandon and his uncle arrived this morning ahead of schedule and within 45 minutes had the tree together and did not break a sweat. Brandon was great. He is polite and respectful and obviously someone who takes pride in his work. He was careful to leave the house as clean as when he arrived. I will keep his number handy for other home repairs that may be needed.
I should also add that he typically does not like to work in my area because of the parking. He likes taking care of Yelp customers so he did agree to complete the job.

Ok so Warren and DJ his protege are true professionals they did an awesome job. My house was built in the 1920s so when they bid the job they did not know what they were in for. They were awesome and jumped right in to do the job right. Warren is a true plumbing artist. I would highly recommend him for any job in your home. It's refreshing to see someone who works so hard to do a job right and sticks by his quotes. There are many scam artists plumbers out there but Warren is not one of them. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about their work and the quality  of what what they do.  Feel lucky if you are able to hire Boss Plumbing for any job.  Thanks Warren I can't wait to take a nice hot bath.

True professional thank you for your work on my house.

price was fair, work was solid and i will be using aqua for everything plumbing related going forward. jimmy billy and trevor are all great guys.

unless you have a really tiny job better suited for a handyman, or you identify as a rude and capricious person... you should stop reading reviews and just call aqua.

Started expierencing a more significant leak from a previously dripping bolt under the toilet tank at midnight last night.  Started reaching out for plumber referrals then, including a search on Yelp.  John responded immediately (and the fastest of all the others that responded) and said he could be out this am.  We confirmed the appt this am, he arrived on time, he made all the necessary repairs, and advised me on some other plumbing questions I had for several other future projects that are plumbing-related.  John is personable, knowledgable and experienced.  THANK YOU, JOHN!

It's my second time using them. First time Kit fixed garbage disposal that I thought needed to be replaced at a fraction of the cost. That's when he earned my trust. This time I called for a faucet installation and I needed someone who know what he's doing. I was worried that gold finish  could be scratched during installation. It turned out even better then expected. Completely happy with service.

3:45 into the 4:00 hour of the scheduled service window, I called to find out where they were.  They said they had tried to call me twenty minutes earlier to confirm(?) the appointment, and because I hadn't picked up, they didn't bother to stop by, they just moved on to their next customer. No text message.  No email.   I asked when they could be back.  They said in 4 or 5 days.    In my opinion, their service could have been better.

Rick, you are a liar Sir you overcharge me. That's why you never came back to give me an estimate on more work.

I meant to write this review years ago, but recently realized that I never did. If I could give Mike 10 stars, I would. He is professional, knowledgeable, competitively priced, trustworthy, and a genuinely kind person. He has done a few larger projects for us over the years (old house plumbing issues!), and when he could not help (we needed our main external sewer pipe replaced, which involved ground excavation in our front yard), he directed us to someone else fantastic. Mike has taken the time more than once to answer my random questions by text message, which I appreciate SO much. We will never use anyone else!

Fantastic customer service, incredibly knowledgeable and amazing work! Highly recommended!

We just bought our house and had water back up into the house from the sewer system. We were stressed because we hadn't even been in the house a month. I found Valdel plumbing on  Angj's list. We couldn't be happier with them. They were very nice, knowledgeable and professional. They needed to dig a path in the front yard and replace the piping due to root intrusion. They did the job quickly and put all the dirt back. We will recommend them to anyone that needs any plumbing needs.

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.

Zip to zip plumbing is a responsible company. They were very reliable and on time. To do the job.

The price given made no sense for the proposed work. He could have just said he didn't want the job instead of insulting me. Women and novices get a second quote.

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.

Mr. Rooter plumbing was great. We had a huge crack in our sewage line into the concrete. They were able to give a consultation same day and snaked the drains same day as well. They were very knowledgeable and professional. They even followed up with us and were able to schedule their work in the same week. They came 2 days in a row to drill into the concrete, remove the old plumbing and insert new PVC pipes. They did a great job and for a reasonable price. All their workers are very friendly as well.
The only thing that wasn't 5-star worthy is they left some old piping in our front lawn for a couple of days. We were told someone would come pick them up next day but we had to bug them for a couple of days to come get it.

Kevin was fantastic -- he fixed a couple sinks that had been perennial problems in our home. Don't know why we waited to fix these, but he came by, inspected them, helped us pick a replacement, and got everything installed really fast. Super nice, very communicative -- we'll definitely use his service again (and sooner this time!)
