Best Businesses in Philadelphia, PA

Excellent service. I've been a property owner in Philadelphia for 20+ years and always struggled with finding a reliable, honest, and dependable plumber. No more struggles since I first contacted Mark at JB Plumbing! I first needed to locate a problem leak earlier this year and had a fast response from Mark, he sent out Brian and we were able to get the problem fixed where there had been some bad work done previously by another contractor. Just this week I had a different leak problem which could have been very serious; Mark had Brian out first thing the next morning and the problem was repaired in about an hour's time, much to mine (and my tenant's) relief.

I really appreciate their easy communication and promptness when emergency situations occur. The crew members also show up not just on time but often *early*, which is a true rarity when dealing with contractors! I can also say they are very good at following covid-19 recommendations, wearing masks consistently during our current situation, so have no worries about calling on them during these times.

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 called A-1 for a water leak issue I had with my rental property. I only had a short window to have it fixed between switching over tenants. Brandon picked up right away and had someone over to address it WITHIN THE HOUR. Very knowledgeable, quick to respond and honest work.

Response (via Yelp) to my request for a plumber was answered only by a phone number.  OK, so I called but I could barely hear him over a crackly cell.  I was frustrated that he obviously hadn't read what I had bothered to write to him -- he wanted the whole picture repeated over the phone.  Maybe the new poorly educated, semi-literate businessman of the new century?  He should be ashamed!  He's definitely no boss!

My flat fee was for $75, so I was surprised when charged for $125. I just needed one piece unscrewed and it took no more than 5-10 minutes with no parts added. The person who came was nice and professional, but I simply can't recommend paying that much for so little. Read the fine print with Aqua.

John was very fast with responses and professional. I had a leak that needed further investigating and reached out for quotes on Yelp. John was the first to respond and the only one to offer a free in home estimate. He told me he's usually booked out a week or two in advance, but had some cancelations and was able to get me in. He arrived and opened up the ceiling and knew right away what the problem was. The seal on the toilet wasn't set properly so he replaced it and even caulked the base of the toilet because it wasn't done before. He also cleaned up after his own work. I don't have experience to know if prices are fair or not, but it was $150 all said and done. Would recommend!

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.

My worst experience with a plumber was with Goodman Plumbing. Our basement flooded and we thought that the water was coming in through the front of the house as we knew that water had came in there before. Thinking it was finally time to get the job done before waterproofing the basement, we called Goodman. They charged us over $6000 to replace the stepwell drain, the downspouts, and a main sewer pipe going to the street, and the job was done in the most atrocious way. The new pipe work looked good at first, but not even a year after, we see that it was terrible. The water is not going down the stepwell drain, and even the cement box that the drain is built into is coming away from the house because of the crappy cement work and the fact that they did not even the dirt out correctly in my front yard. So now not only do I have an uneven front lawn that pools water everytime it rains, but the drain does not work still. We tried calling Goodman at least 10-15 times after they left, and they chose to ignore us now that they had their money. I would never deal with these thieves again, and I recommend others not to also.

Professional, Responsive, and Awesome Work!  

Hello Everyone,

I chose Rick Lucas plumbing based Yelp Reviews and he was great!  I was selling my home and needed someone to repair a tricky leak in a very tight space, along with other repairs to busted pipes.  Rick always responded when he said he would, he was at my home when he said he would be there, and was very professional and great to talk to.  He was able to schedule me on a Friday afternoon, when I talked to him only that Monday before.  The price was very fair too!  I would highly recommend Rick Lucas Plumbing.

We hired Mike to replace a toilet and sink in our half bath. His quote was competitive, and we really appreciated that he took the time to recommend new fixtures that would work well for our bathroom -- fixtures which were reasonable in price and easy to find at Lowes. He was able to do the work in our tight timeline, cleaned up after himself and was friendly and respectful while in our home. A few days after install, we noticed a slight leak in the new toilet which turned out to be a manufacturing defect. Mike was at our house ten minutes after we called him about it, and went out of his way to fix the issue even though it was in no way his fault. We are so glad to have found Miller Plumbing and will use this company for all our future plumbIng needs. Can't recommend Mike highly enough.

We live in Fishtown and have used John Neill plumbing multiple times over the past several years. They are unfailingly prompt, courteous, professional, and reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

Very good service but a bit pricey. However, you get what you pay for.
I had them install a backup sump pump and install a new faucet.

Plumbers (Tim and Steve) were friendly, informative and did a very neat job.

As these things go there was a small leak that developed just after installation. Plumber came back that night to fix it and then another small leak developed. He came back first thing in morning to fix. Now no issues.

Lesser plumbers may have taken the money and ran but they kept their word on their guarantee.

Would use again.

Needed to replace a complicated hot water heater setup. Responded quickly and clearly communicated prices, whereabouts and plan for replacement. Job took two days as my chimney was not up to code and both days received a call before the techs left and arrived on time. Jim was a pleasure to work with and exceeded my expectations. Will definitely be returning to them for future work.

As in my prior review, we hired Luan from Zip to Zip to replace a faucet, and were very happy.  We just hired him again to fix a leaking shower, and again are really pleased with his work.  He was able to come promptly, showed up when promised, and fixed the problem with much less hassle than I expected - he found a way to replace the leaking shower parts without breaking the tile, which I thought would be necessary because there is no back panel.  And the cost was fair.  So I think he knows what he is doing, and he aims to do the best job possible in the most straightforward way without creating extra work and charges.  We will continue to use his services when we need 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!

We've used the My Plumber services a couple of times now.  Mike is our usual guy, and most recently both Bernie and Mike came to help us with our wobbly toilet.  They've done an amazing job every time and are very easy to get ahold of, which I really appreciate.  We will only use their services for our house and I highly recommend you do the same!

Update: I appreciate Curt for addressing our issue.

Our water heater was broken and we got a fair quote from this business.  We are happy with the service.

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!)
