Mike from Drainmen was referred to me by his brother who is an electrician.  I just purchased my first property and I had 3 plumbing issues that needed to be addressed.  
My inspector noted a slow flush in the half bathroom.  When Mike arrived on time he checked the toilet and said the pressure was good and the tank itself was good size.  
The second item on the report was a loose metal plate that covers the shower pipe coming out of the wall.  There was also space between the pipe and the drywall that needed to be filled in.  I asked him if I could just do it myself with some clear silicone and he said sure.  It worked great.
Lastly there were some exit pipes from the tub that still haven't been changed over to PVC and were showing some corrosion according to the inspector.  Mike said he didn't feel it was that corroded and certainly didn't need to be replaced right away.  That was nice to hear since it's about a $500 job.  
When he was getting ready to go I asked him how much I owed him and he said don't worry about.  He wouldn't even take $50 just for coming out from Pottstown to Eagleville.
How many plumbers or service people in any industry would tell you that you don't need any repairs when you have called them in specifically to fix something.  That's the right answer.  Not very many.  Do yourself a favor and give Drainmen a shot for your next plumbing repair.  You won't be disappointed.

Can't say enough good things about this company.  I submitted an inquiry through yelp for a plumber to repair/replace our spigot in the back yard.  The proprietor (Mike) replied to my request for a quote immediately and had his employee (Julian) out here the next morning.  Julian did amazing work, was quick and courteous as well.  Will certainly be going to Quality Pro Services for my future plumbing needs.

My parents have used Harker plumbing for years and now that I am a home owner in Philadelphia I use them as well. You cannot go wrong using them.

Woke up to a kitchen flooding from a broken pipe under the sink (it was a DIY job), called The Plumbing Company and Larry came right over.  He assessed the problem, fixed it quickly and at a reasonable rate.  Very professional! Larry educated us on our home plumbing.  Will likely call him back when we remodel the bathroom!

We had used Albert Ellis team to repair some duct work a few months ago and had a great experience. Our air went out last night so I called right at 8 am when they opened. They were able to send someone over right away and assess the issue. By noon, Brandon had us back up and running! Great service!

I had a pipe freeze on Xmas and was desperate to have someone come out asap, since we didn't have any water all day. Keith was responsive, came out right away, replaced the broken pipe and I'm back in business. I really appreciated communicating through the app, and as well via text. I hate calling places. I'm so impressed, I scheduled more work to be done with Keith, that I had been delaying for months. Thanks again!

Scheduled a date and even talked on the phone that day as if they were a few minutes away and never heard from them again.

Simply the best! Keith and son are responsive and care for each of their clients. Professional, courteous, and reliable. We have found our new go to plumbing professionals.
Frank and Donna in Hatfield

I used this service this past April and they were great! Showed up a few minutes late but they called before hand to let me know. Once they arrived, they were SO quick and pricing was very fair. Would highly recommend!

Horrible service.  I'm gonna be desperate if I ever go back.  Trying to buy something from them is like pulling teeth.

I have been a 20 year customer of Len Schmidt; first in my residence in HaddonHeights and now with my rental duplex. They are reliable and responsive- invaluable to me as a landlord. I can count on them to work with me, respond quickly , and do a thorough job.

Vincent and Eric have always returned calls promptly, and Danny did a great job fixing my leaky bathtub faucet. They actually made three trips in order to help me out: 1) to diagnose the problem and let me order the replacement parts (to save money), 2) to install the piece and 3) to help me figure out how to use the new faucet.

Really polite people, and seem to have been totally trustworthy. Arrived on time each visit, too!

We have a Bosch tankless water heater, that was not working intermittently. We call Bosch and they asked that we call one of their local certified technicians. Of all the Bosch certified technicians GJ Stimmler was the only one within the right radius of service and were able to come.  Andrew Stimmler, on the first visit came and opened up the heater to diagnose the problem and had to call Bosch to troubleshoot it. After 3 hours of troubleshooting he told me that after talking with Bosch, I needed to change some parts which he already told Bosch about, and I just had to call Bosch and pay for it, which I did right away. He closed up all the parts and I noticed that he didn't connect the water connection back to the unit, and when asked he just connected it back without any explanation and left.

Issue 1: After he left, I opened a faucet in the bathroom and the hot water heater started leaking all over!! When I called him back he didn't respond for a long time, and finally after sending a video of my leaking like a waterfall unit, he finally told me that while opening up the unit, the o-ring broke the seal, and tried to blame me for asking him to connect the water back on (even though he never explained to me in the first place why he wanted to leave the water disconnected or that he broke the o-ring seal during diagnosis). He refused to come back to fix the problem and just gave me instructions on how to disconnect the water from the unit and put a bucket underneath to collect the leaky water!! I had already paid him for 3 hours worth of work, and now I had a leaky unit with a bucket underneath!!! He refused to come back to fix it that day or day after, and said he would come only after the parts arrived.

Issue 2: After the parts arrived, we scheduled a day for him to come replace the faulty parts and fix the unit. He doesnt come himself but sends 2 of his employees, who arrive about 2 hrs late without as much as a courtesy call to inform me they were delayed or arriving late. Once they arrived they informed me that the parts that arrived were the wrong parts!!! Mind you, Andrew and Bosch made the call on what parts were ordered, and I just called in to pay for it. When I made a comment that, between Andrew Stimmler and Bosch they had to figure it out, and get the right parts, he said what I said was offensive and quit the job!! I had to call again to beg him to tell me what the right parts were so I could call Bosch to order and find some other plumber to fix this!! So, he basically caused my water heater to leak, didnt tell me about it, worked with Bosch to order the wrong parts and then quits because I had the audacity to call him out on his mistakes!! Now I am stuck because there is no other plumber who is knowledgeable of Bosch Tankless Heaters within my service area. I have to now look at options to replace my entire unit!!

Andrew Stimmler is a blight on any honest, hard-working plumber and please avoid him at all costs!!

Used them once for a couple of plumbing repairs involving stuck valves and most importantly fixing (replacing) two old drains in the basement that were old and clogged. Arrived as scheduled, handling all issues in one visit and at a respectable price.  The 2 locally based plumbers (master and apprentice) were courteous and professional. They will be the first ones I call the next time I need plumbing services. I expect to be able to give them a 5 star rating in the future.

This is a follow-up of my previous reviews of James-Michael Fay as my last one was in 2015 and we still are very happy with their services.  It is very hard to find people who are still ambitious in doing their job and really care about the customer.

The best prices, services and response time.

I don't need to say much as the pictures show what kind of service they will provide you. They also drilled over brand new computers and appliances and didn't ask for them to be moved or covered. The best part is that those pictures were taken after they came back and cleaned up. They won't be coming back in my house and I wouldn't recommend you let them into yours.
