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

It's hard to find a good plumber.  I have been using enviro safe for over ten years.  The staff is friendly and knowledgeable.  They even repair and paint the drywall when it has to be opened up.  
They know my system and always manage to solve the problems that come with a large older house.
I know the technicians by name and trust them implicitly.

I had an appointment to install a sink and a minor shower repair for last Friday between 5-9PM. By 9, the technician had not yet arrived. After I called Personal Plumbing, I was informed they were swamped and set up a time for Saturday morning. The technician arrived on time, but then said he did not have the basic parts required to finish the installation and stated he would call later that day after he picked up the parts from the plumbing supply company. I never received a call. Since then, I have left 3 messages and have not had a call back. Very unprofessional.

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

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.

Mitchell at Star Plumbing is the best. He is always available to discuss any situation. Paul is one of his plumbers that has been with him for a while and is very good at what he does and very courteous.I would recommend him for any plumbing job and will use him again.

Don't waste your time. Called for an appointment and after confirming they simply didn't show up to inspect my HVAC. When I texted t wo hours after the appt time to see if they were late the guy said he had a long week and couldn't make it.

This is the MOST amazing experience I've had in dealing with a service provider. From the very first interface with Lizzie who answered the phone and scheduled my appointment, in a professional manner, to Joe (the business owner), who apologized profusely for being 15 minutes late, I am truly IMPRESSED!
Their care, availability and rapid response to my need, with a very favorable price, has me hooked for life.
Thank you Joe and team!

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.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!! They are scam artists that think they can overcharge when people are in a bind.

I purchased a home that had a Bradford White 50 Gallon - 40,000 BTU TTW Power Vent Energy Saver Residential Water Heater installed on 4-23-19 by McLoughlin. At the time of writing, the unit is a little over 3 years old and is still covered under Bradford White's 6 year warranty.

I have a Floodstop installed that automatically shut the valve when it sensed water in the pan and contacted McLoughin yesterday to have the tank replaced. I did tell them it wasn't emergent for them to come out last night, and they could come out in the morning. I sent them photos of the unit so they had the model number & serial number for the warranty claim. They finally got back to me at noon today and said they could come out after 3PM today and replace the tank for $1,445. My mother-in-law just had the same situation with a Bradford White water heater a month ago and paid ~$800. I called my regular plumber and he said he could do it for ~$500 to $600 plus ~$100 to get the 6yr warranty back in effect for the new tank . I called McLoughin back and told them their price was too high and they offered to knock $150 off the cost. They're pricing was still SKY high, so I told them to forget about it -- I could go buy a new hot water heater and have it installed for $1,500. I also would advise against Bradford White's, they are not the same quality they used to be. They spend a lot of $$$ on advertising but their product is not the top quality they claim it to be.  

If you want to be ripped off when you have a heating, cooling, plumbing or hot water emergency, call McLoughlin!

I wish it were possible to give 10 stars!! These are great people to work with! We called a few places before deciding on these folks.  Denise at the office was very kind from the moment she picked up the phone it didn't have the feel of a business call. First impressions matter to us and Denise really wanted to help! She was patient with us, informative and knowledgeable about the work that would need to be done. Matt, the plumber, was prompt and professional. He explained all the work that would need to be done prior to starting. He was in and out in a timely manner. Matt is truly a master of his craft. If there's anyone in the area I could recommend more than others it's Victor James Plumbing. One of our neighbors actually used them the same day we did.

P.s. I saw one review in here that gave them 3 stars for being a Trump Supporter?! Are you KIDDING ME?! Just to be clear we voted the other way but that doesn't sway who we do business with. It shouldn't influence who we you business with either. Yelp should take that down.

The owner is hard to get a hold of and he says he'll call you but he doesn't and he rushes everything and misses things.  Also recommends other contractors that say they'll do something and them they don't.

They were awesome. Called on a Sunday about a leak, thinking I'd just leave a message, and I actually got a person.  They came out first thing Monday and by Tuesday afternoon the problem was fixed. It wasn't cheap (the only reason they don't get five stars!), but everyone was knowledgeable, professional, courteous. Can't say enough good things about how responsive everyone was.
