Best Businesses in Philadelphia, PA

Followed through in a timely and efficient manner and cleaned up afterwards. I would hire again.

Great family owned plumbing company. I would recommend them for your plumbing needs. They did a great job at my home for a new bathroom and washroom. Polite and professional

Thank you to EnviroSafe and Howard for saving our Thanksgiving. After a water leak under our kitchen sink around 4 pm the night before, and calling multiple plumbers who all were unavailable until it would be too late, EnviroSafe saved the day and had someone to our house within a couple hours. Not only did he fix the leak, but he fixed the angle of the pipe (which had been a problem for a while) and everything was perfect when he left. He explained everything and took care to keep our house clean while he worked. The cost was fair for the work done and the timing and was provided up front.

Great service for a reasonable price. I have been using these guys for a few years now and they still respond promptly and do an excellent job for a fair price. Most recently they came out to clear a clogged sewer drain. They explained the job, gave the quote, and quickly got to work when I accepted it. They left the area in the basement as if nothing had happened, nice and clean.

He quoted me a very fair price and the men he sent to fix the problem did a good job!

These guys (Chris & Brent) are great! Twice I have needed Burnside Plumbing and twice they have come through. Last week, my basement toilet was non-functional with sewage backing up onto my bathroom floor. My main sewer line was clogged. 100+ feet, snaking for four hours cleared it out, success! Thank you!

Star Plumbing comes out promptly, but they are very overpriced. When my water heater leaked, they came out, took a brief look, said I needed a new unit, and gave me a quote.  I checked with three other plumbers in the area, all of whom had good reviews. For the same unit (Bradford White 50-gallon water heater with 6-year warranty), Star Plumbing's quote was 30% more than the others, which worked out to be an additional $350. When the owner found out that we had chosen another plumber, he sent an invoice for a $250 service call. Star's plumber had spent no more than 30 minutes in my house and didn't attempt to fix the unit. We will go elsewhere in the future. We used S. Dunsmore Plumbing & Son instead; we were very happy with their work and prices.

Bill installed a new water heater for me over a holiday weekend years ago.  He didn't know me, it was my first contact with him and his staff.  He was respectful, prompt, reasonably priced and efficient.  Bill and his crew have been back to my house for a backed-up sink and the installation of a new home heater.  Each interaction was the same, respectful, prompt, timely and with high quality work.  I highly recommend Bill and his company.

Over the weekend I installed a new faucet myself and subsequently thereafter had a hot water valve leak begin due to oxidation and aging of my existing water lines. Yesterday I called and left a message in the morning, received a call back promptly and had an appointment that afternoon. The crew installed new water valves which i had tested out prior to them leaving which showed no signs of water leaking. About 20 minutes later I checked and the hot and cold water lines had begun a small leak where the joints were soldered. I called back and within an hour another crew arrived to remedy the leaks. This occurred late in the afternoon when it would have been easy for a company to say they're closed for the day or charge for an 'emergency' but they didnt. They assured me that they stand by their work and stayed some time after the job was completed to ensure no leaks occurred. I appreciate them taking the time to get things right and standing by their work! This is why I like supporting local businesses and you should you too! If you need a local plumber I recommend using Attilio Plumbing, Heating & Cooling.

I do not recommend Thompson plumbing.

I purchased a home in Fairmount and Thompson provided prompt service with the removal of the sink so that the painters could complete their work. The commode was removed by others and a new floor was installed.


The new floor installation required significant additional work to be performed by Thompson so that the toilet could be seated properly to the flange as well as the sink attached to the wall.

There continues to be an issue with that toilet. I called Vince yesterday discussing this issue - and despite spending $1200+ of Work on two different occasions, since it was past his 30 days... we were told that we had to pay since this issue was different than the previous issues.  When a toilet gets reinstalled, you would expect that the plumber may make additional recommendations so that issues do not continue such as when the toilet tank was re-installed, new rubber gaskets and/or washers   should have been installed as well. Had I known that these should have been installed /replaced I would have recommended so that it could've probably been done st minimal cost while under the same service call for the installation of the toilet. This would prevent leaking and a future service call fee.

When I called Vince to ask what can be done so that we don't have to call every other month, his response was you're always going to have some sort of problem...

I realize that parts wear out. However, when an installation or re-installation is done, proper methods should be performed. A test of all parts should be performed so that if in fact a part looks faulty, it should be replaced/repaired at that time of service rather than require another service call.

Vince responded to the email saying that it was not in his scope of the job nor was it authorized to make the other repairs and it is considered a new job.

Unfortunately I am looking for a new plumber if anyone has any recommendations.

I recently purchased a home with a-McLoughlin-installed system.  They came out for a routine maintenance check and I was very impressed with my technician's timeliness, cleanliness, and professionalism.  He fully explained what he was doing and always checked with me before performing any additional procedures.  At the end, my invoice  clearly documented what was done and the price for each service.

Horrible when he thinks he can scam you. Tried to bill my elderly parents $1000+ for a plumbing job that took my uncle 5 min to do. Tried to add on a ton of unnecessary work as well for more.

Maybe he does well when he thinks you're not a dummy, but hey, not us.

They were recommended by a neighbor. Replaced my 40 gallon gas Bradford White water heater. Work looks good, upgraded chimney from a 3 inch to 4 inch line; ended up costing $1250 for the job. Was a little surprised to find the empty cardboard carton from the new water heater in my recycling, but broke the box down and hauled it out. Nice job, nothing to rave about.

Literal HVAC lifesavers!

It's 17 degrees outside and my furnace took a crap.  It was freezing in here!

I called Hughes at 2 pm, they said they'd get a tech out to me in 30 minutes.  Sweet!

He was about 30 minutes behind schedule, but was courteous (even asked for a towel to wipe his boots before strolling through the house!) and had it fixed in an hour for a reasonable fee.

He offered tips for how to prevent the issue in the future, and the shop takes credit card payment by phone, or a check.

The location of this business is weird on the Yelp listing, but the phone number for this listing is correct to reach a dispatcher in the 19125 ZIP code - Fishtown/Kensington.
