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

I am thankful I called Enviro-Safe! I was having an issue with my well water so I called around to a few local companies that deal with well water and private well systems. Instead of telling me that I needed a very expensive filtration system right off the bat, Nick spent a few minutes on the phone asking me questions about the problem I was having and ended up sending out a service technician to further diagnose my problem. They were professional and courteous when they arrived and explained everything they were doing. They correctly diagnosed and corrected my problem for the cost of a service call, when they could have told me I needed a lot of expensive equipment installed like everyone else I spoke to. I trust the guys at Enviro-Safe because, they treated me like family and my money like it was their own. I will definitely call them in the future if I have any problems their company can handle!

Great service. Professional. Quick response. My other plumber couldn't drain my sewer, so I called Roland and his team. Got the job done! My sewer is now flowing like a river! Thank you!

Had Joseph's out once to fix a thermostat in a radiator in our kid's room. He and his nephew were nice guys and did a good job at a reasonable price. We talked about doing more steam work throughout the house. Here we are a couple of months later and I called about a small crack in a hose line at the rear of our house. Joe seemed annoyed to be getting the call but said he would send someone out the following morning. After calling me annoyed that his guy called the wrong house, his plumber showed up, took a look and said it would be easy enough. He needed to call Joe to get a price. Joe then told him that it would be $225. To repair a tiny section of pipe for a hose line that's totally accessible and should take no more than 15 minutes, at most. I respectfully declined to the gentleman.

2 minutes later Joe called me and aggressively said are you kidding me!? You can't pay $225 after I sent someone out there!? Don't ever think about calling us again!. Was literally yelling. He then hung up. Beware. Nothing affordable or friendly about him.

There are better options and I have someone coming out today for under $100.

Ward D. Burnside & Co. has been incredibly responsive and reasonable.  They have spent the last year working at my rental property bringing it up to snuff, particularly in the last few months as I had made the choice to sell it.  Their prices have been reasonable and they have provided me with alternatives to save money while still achieving the items required for sale.  Everyone with whom I've worked has been very responsive.  Eric has been the primary plumber with whom I've worked and he even came out on emergency one night, resolving the problem at minimal cost. I highly recommend them.

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.

The gauge on our boiler had been broken for a while. Bill was very communicative and responsive to my husband's inquiries. On the day of our scheduled service, two workers under Bill came on time and worked on replacing the gauge. They did a great job at answering all of our questions and went above and beyond in their service. We are so grateful that we found Bill of East Falls Plumbing.

Great company! Couldn't have asked for better service!  Prompt, fast, clean and reasonable cost.

Been using these Thompson since I bought a home in Fairmount nearly 20 years ago. They're professional and responsive. During the Pope's visit my toilet sprang a leak and John rode over on his bicycle, tools in his back pack, and fixed it! Try and find someone in the building trades that will go to those lengths for a customer. They may not be the absolute cheapest, but the prices are fair and they're good at what they do. It's a plus that I feel they are trustworthy and have no worries about having them in my home.

Charged me for something they don't even fix. I was specific in my request about the service of my grinder/sewer ejector pump when speaking to the receptionist...After arriving at my property they then wanted to subcontract work out...I should have known better not to use someone that wants to charge just for a visit! Personally, I Would not recommend nor refer anyone to this company!

Update:
After dispute of my claim I received an email that I would not be charged. The service man that did show up was very professional and seemed knowledgeable, but think they could have better processes in place to make sure they have a better understanding of the customers problem and that it gets relayed to the service tech properly. Satisfied with the result but will follow my regular plumbers advice Steven Rickers Plumbing out of Glenmoore PA (Chester County) from now on.

We have used Victor James multiple times for various plumbing jobs and they have always provided great work at a great price.

The most recent job led to me writing this review. We were having guests over for the first time since Covid began. A day before the arrival we noticed a sewer gas smell coming from our basement. I called with hopes they could come quickly, and luckily they could make it happen. Vic arrived and began troubleshooting the issue. He took care of the problem quickly and the price was very fair. Had they not have quickly made it out to us, our hosting would have stunk (pun intended) for the man cave unveiling.

Great work and even better people at Victor James...thank you!

Called them up, came out within the hour and cleared the clog in my sink. Service was quick and professional!

I am writing this as a precaution for anyone thinking of using this company.  I am surprised that they have four strong reviews on here.  I called to have a clogged sewer lined snaked because of some tenants throwing wipes into the toilet.  The guy came out with a snake and told me it doesn't look good.  the main pipe in the street is broken and I would have to have it repaired.  He called an estimator on the spot who came out to run an estimate.  The estimator gave me an estimate for $7500 to have my main pipe repaired, I also had to pay the drain clog guy $125 for coming out.    I was very sad and distraught as you can imagine so I called around for some second opinions.  I called one company and the woman on the other line told me something sounds very wrong and that she's never heard anything like that.  She would have someone call me back..no one ever did but it at least made me more sure that I should get some second opinions.  I called another company and asked them to come out and try to clear the clog for me again.  This guy confirmed that there was something wrong with the pipe and that digging would have to be done.  Later on the owner of the company told me that the part of the pipe that was damaged was the portion between my home and the street and the cost to repair would be $2680.  I asked him repeatedly if he was sure because the other company told me it was the main pipe out to the sewer.  He told me if that were the case, the water would be coming up onto the sidewalk and on the street.  I called another company who does trenchless repairs (basically lining the pipe) and the cost would have been $3500... he told me that the part of the pipe that was cracked had to be between the house and the street...not the main.  I asked him how he determined that and he said otherwise, the water would be backing out onto the street...just like the second plumber said.  With that being said, I am grateful I am not going with Ed hughes and sons, and I just wish I could get my $125 back.
