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.

They did a great job installing new toilets in our house. We ran into a bunch of unexpected issues, and they worked patiently with us to resolve and get the work done. Thank you!

Very nice guys, who do good work and charge reasonable prices (if they charge at all). I have utilized them twice and in both instances provided quick and great service. Highly recommended.

I just had a great experience with Larry Wilson and his apprentice.  I had a main floor toilet (gets a lot of use) that did not flush well and took forever to refill.  I had Benjamin Franklin Plumbing look at it ... they said I would need a new toilet purchased and installed ... about $1000 total.  They also recommended buying and installing devices to reduce the water pressure coming into the house and a filtration system ... many thousand of dollars more (!).  I found Larry here on YELP.  He came by this morning, said a new valve would fix it ... he had the parts in his truck ... installed it in less than 30 minutes ... toilet now flushes great and refills fine ... all for $159.  Perfect.  Thank you Larry, and thank you YELP.

I've used this company three or 4 times now and while they are probably not the lowest price out there, they respond promptly to any plumbing and HVAC call and will get the job fixed quickly and completely.     I had a thermostat go bad on a sweltering hot summer weekend, so I called Albert Ellis and they put a new one in within about an hour from the phone call.  You get what you pay for and these guys are about as good as it gets.

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!

In May, the sewer started leaking a bit, and the basement smelled.
Having no plumbing problems in the past (purchased a rehab), I googled plumbers for a non-emergency repair.

Tony came out and told me the water was NOT a sewer leak. That the source was a water-line problem and the smell was street-side requiring 1000's in excavation.
The very next day the basement flooded, with sewer water, because (shock) the sewer line was clogged.

Tony came out and for $300 pulled out a single tampon.  He claimed that one item caused a clog in a main sewer pipe... He did not re-snake, run a videoscope or do anything else.  

The problem which he was called for, the smell, was not solved.  It got worse, so I assumed it was the result of the flooding, and treated the basement for mold. It didn't help.

In July, the basement flooded again. This time far more at about 1/4 inch deep. Tony, laughing, refused to come out.

It cost me $60 to rent an auger to get the clog cleared. It caused about $1000 in damages, 2 weeks to clean.

For $300 Tony's sloppy self missed a quart of tampons. 31 to be exact - an entire box minus one tampon he found- a former tenant flushed into the toilet. The smell is gone, of course.

Oh, I-fixd-it, alright. Tony didn't.

Please, hire someone else.

Edit: the response includes numerous ad-hominem accusations, the least that I am not a real customer. Included is that they guarantee their work. I had to tread ankle knee for several hours in the value of THAT guarantee.

We will be forever grateful to Miller Plumbing for recommending Keith Klein and Company Plumbing. We needed a gravity drain for our home. The home is situated on a slight slope and our sump pump ran almost 15 times a day. We had 2 floods in a year from a loss of power to the pump. Keith was very pleasant to deal with. He even took the time to answer our calls and texts and even spoke to me at 10:30 pm. He visited our home on a weekend and was very accommodating.

We had a little trouble getting him to come out and do the work, it took at least 3-4 months for him to come out and do the work, several calls and emails were not returned. I think part of it was that he is very busy but we would have appreciated a little feedback as to when he would fit us in.

Finally, in mid-August, we got in touch with him and he and his crew were out a couple days later. They were very friendly, and even took the time to answer our annoying questions.

The gravity drain has been a huge success, our sump never runs and the water just flows out the back of our property and I am a very happy customer and would recommend his work to anyone.

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!

Positive experience. Good selection. Guy offered serveral brands of circulator pumps, ultimately went with Taco 007 which was already on my boiler

Nice people and good work, but too expensive. For the same price I could have called the other company that wear shoe slippers and only sends the labor needed.

Maybe it is because I have a Haddonfield address, but they sent two guys for a one person job. No literally, only one guy could fit in the space to do the work. At best the other guy could hand tools and be moral support. Of course I was charged the labor for both.

After buying a house we were having trouble with our hot water heater and gave these guys a call.  They were able to quickly make time for us and came to fix the water heater.  The guy was very nice and efficient.  It took them a surprisingly long time to send us an invoice but I was pleased that it was not too expensive when I finally got it.  I would definitely use them again!

Don't do business with this company. They misdiagnosed my heating issue, caused me to take several days off work and then tried to charge me for something no one told me about up front. Had to get another company to come out (Summers Quality) that correctly diagnosed the issue and took care of it quickly. After disputing the charge with the owner, he proceeded to make a claim to impact my credit.

This is my go to plumbing company now, The first time I had the leak with the pipe for My wash machine, Jeff put new valves on it. And the second time my toilet seal break, and it was leaking to my downstairs ceiling. They fixed in 5 minuets. The guys were very efficient. I like the work they did.

I've used these guys twice. The first time, my kitchen sink was backing up, and the plumber said We can't reach it, it must be in the drain. JMF came out and found the clog: a whole lot of food waste at the bottom of the stack (vertical pipe), some 10 or 12 feet down. They cleaned it out-- problem solved.

This time it was my toilet. Again, my first call was the plumber, but again their tools couldn't reach the problem. The number they gave me for a drain guy wasn't working right,* so I called Fay Corp. again. Their man Mike was here and had it cleared up less than an hour-and-a-half from my call.

Yes, their prices seem high to me, but I don't have a scale to compare to and I don't feel deceived. For the kitchen job they told me it would be more on the weekend, so I waited till Monday.

Called Ben's ProServ this morning because my AC went out at 4am last night. These guys came out the same day and fixed my Standard AC Unit! Everyone was friendly from the receptionist to the Technician. Cost I thought was a bit high because I priced the parts but these guys were awesome. Thanks for making my home bearable again. Much recommended! I wish I could've gave the Tech a tip but I'm tapped out. Lol.
