Best Plumbing Services in Philadelphia, PA

My fiance and I just moved into a new apartment a few weeks ago. We noticed that the top of the water heater was rusted and had a puddle of water on top of it.  I called JB plumbing to come look at the hear and within a few hours a man arrived at my apartment ready to take a look. He advised that the problem was not with the water heater. It was actually  a line running from our central air unit that ran over the hot water heater. He said that since he does not do HVAC work but would refer me to someone who could.  What was really great was that he charged us NOTHING to come take a look and tell us what the problem was. And he was incredibly nice. I though that was really awesome since many companies would typically have some kind of fee. He told me to call the other hvac company and tell them that I was referred by JB plumbing and they would probably give me a deal. It ended up costing $180 for just a peice insulation which I thought was ridiculous.. but that's for another review I suppose.

The floor drain in my basement floor backed up and caused some flooding in my basement. Called Travas, left a message and he got back to me quickly and had Anthony at my house within 90 minutes. All this on a Sunday morning and on Father's Day!! Anthony was great was here for almost two hours and explained everything he was doing and was very thorough. The charge for his services were extremely reasonable and fair. They will be my plumbing go to from now on

Brandon came out for an emergency toilet repair. He was thorough and friendly and courteous. I would recommend him to anyone in Manayunk, Roxbourough and surrounding areas and will call him again for future projects.

Thank you for helping me!

Warren from Boss Plumbing is a life saver today! With the rain pouring and ceiling leaking, I've been calling so many plumbers around the area, nobody picked up or would return the call. Warren made arrangements to come help right away. He is polite, knowledgeable and assessed the house thoroughly, and helped fixed the leaking problem right away. Highly recommend!

They are not thorough...they do not have appropriate equipment to do a proper job...added the cost of toilet seat removal which ended up being more than the cost of having them come out for the drain clean.
Added to all this, they did a shoddy job...I will NOT recommend them!

Responded very quickly Meghan was great and so helpful setting up the appt. Xavier Came on time and fixed everything. He was very nice and reliable! Highly recommend!

I don't' give 5 stars unless the business goes above and beyond.  
I wanted to leave a review for Kit from Plumbing N Things because he totally deserves it.

I live just outside of Washington DC and my elderly mom lives out in Philly by herself.  She'd been having issues with her toilet and the water not filling up properly after she flushes. All she could say is that she hears leaky sounds every couple of hours.  

I finally scheduled an appointment with  another company rated high on yelp, drove up to Philly to be there for my mom and no one showed up!!! The other company gave me excuses about the other job taking so long and forgot to call us and said they can come another day.  Are you kidding me???

Frustrated and angry I continued down the list for another week calling and leaving messages.

Kit from Pluming N Things got back to me right away.  He was so nice on the phone and told me that I didn't have to drive up from DC again.  He offered to go out to my mom's place the following day and face timed me to explain what the problem was, gave me an estimate and because it wasn't a huge issue, he offered to fix the problem right away.

I saved 6 hours of RT driving time, toll, gas, and not to mention he was really nice on the phone and facetime, AND he didn't rip off an elderly lady and take advantage of her.  

Thank you so much Kit, for restoring my faith in plumbers.  I really appreciated your professionalism and kindness.

So, I have to say I have nothing but love for this company.  I bought a house that the inspector missed A LOT to say the least on plumbing issues.  I had a few companies come out and give me quotes but this one was for sure the best in terms of response and price. And luckily I had them come out because after I had them quote me on potential fixes... I had a disaster.  My outside pipe broke and I didn't have a main shut off valve that worked 100%.  Tell me about a headache to say the least about a water bill.  but the company worked through this and fixed my problem.  Then they came out after and found my main street shut off valve (after being persistent digging up my yard to find it) and now my house is ready to go! now after 2 other jobs, I am hopeful all is fixed.  So thankful.

Rick was the first to respond to my Yelp inquiry after I discovered a leaking water heater in my new house. It was on a Saturday morning, and wasn't available until Monday, but eased my mind that based on the pictures I sent through Yelp's questionnaire and description of the problem, that it wasn't in need of emergency service. This was an incredibly smooth process, thanks Yelp!

We arranged an appointment (right through Yelp) for 9am Monday morning...Rick called ahead to confirm and arrived on time. He quickly confirmed his initial impression of either needing a new Temperature & Pressure valve or an expansion tank. Since the valve was cheaper, we started with that, but unfortunately didn't solve things. So he grabbed the tank right off his truck, installed it, and was done with everything in a matter of under 2 hours. He even asked if there was anything else he could take a look at while there, knowing we had just moved in.

In summary, Rick's demeanor, knowledge, and service performance were all commendable and left an excellent impression on us. I'd recommend Rick Lucas plumbing to anyone looking for a professional in this area!

We needed help with our shower plumbing on a Saturday afternoon and could not find a plumber that was available. However, Mike answered his phone right away and was able to come over.  He only works until 4pm on Saturdays but stayed at our house helping us until at least 5pm.  My boyfriend loves to learn all things home reno related, so mike took the time to show him the problem and teach him how to fix it.  His prices were great and he was very honest and helpful. Would DEFINITELY recommend!

John made a repair to my house heater, which solved  the problem..  However, 4 days later  PGW came to house in response to my call to them of gas leak.  PGW shut off gas to  heater.  It  couldn't be used due to gas leak.  Called John 4 times to ask him to return and see what was wrong.  He never returned phone calls.     Called another plumber and  I bought a new heater and it was installed the next day.  Never did hear from John.  That could have been a nice sale for you John but you were a no show   Jan 18, 2017

They will rip u off u are not careful. I called them to clear clogged drain tub reading reviews. They wanted 375 dollars to clear clogg which was 10 min job. Technicans try to scare u with horror stories to get extra money. Once i refused for service they brought price down to 150. So be careful.

I am so thankful for Bommer Plumbing & Drain Cleaning! I would definitely use them again! I would definitely recommend them!
Our sump pump broke and our basement flooded. I contacted Bommer after hours through yelp asking questions and getting quotes and they responded right back to me! They came the next next morning and installed our new sump pump. Jim was so helpful and knowledgeable! Thank you again Jim!

Great company, installed water heater and bidets for my toilets. Ensured no damage was done to floors while hauling away old one. Reasonable pricing and quick responses, highly recommended.

Chris the owner is very attentive and even goes on job sites for even the small jobs. I am so impressed.  He texted me after hours to get info to fix our plumbing issues.  The staff is friendly and very knowledgeable.  Our regular technician is Ray and we love him. He is always on time and does an excellent job.  We have an older house so plumbing issues seem to creep up a bit.  I am really glad we found this guys.  They are our go to plumbers!

Bernie and Mike were great!  

They gave a good price for replacing a rusted out section of iron drain pipe and reconnecting to existing bathroom fixtures.  They were very knowledgeable and new exactly what needed to be done.  They showed up on time, sealed and cover up everything, and did a great job cleaned up afterwards.  They even fixed a couple minor problems with shut-off valves to my sink and toilet.

With Covid-19, they wore masks and kept social distancing.  As a bonus, it was so entertaining to listen in on the bantering between the two .... They definitely have worked with each other for a long time.  

Definitely highly recommend .... Will call upon them next time with plumbing issues.

Mr. Rooter plumbing was great. We had a huge crack in our sewage line into the concrete. They were able to give a consultation same day and snaked the drains same day as well. They were very knowledgeable and professional. They even followed up with us and were able to schedule their work in the same week. They came 2 days in a row to drill into the concrete, remove the old plumbing and insert new PVC pipes. They did a great job and for a reasonable price. All their workers are very friendly as well.
The only thing that wasn't 5-star worthy is they left some old piping in our front lawn for a couple of days. We were told someone would come pick them up next day but we had to bug them for a couple of days to come get it.

Our hot water heater busted late in the afternoon, so by the time I started asking around for quotes, it was after business hours. Kevin responded quickly (within an hour-ish?), gave me a quote right away, and answered all my questions. (and I had a lot of questions!) His quote was very reasonable---and, it stayed consistent. The price he quoted was the price I paid.

When I asked him to check on a warranty thing, he said he'd call the supplier in the morning, which he did. This might seem like a small thing, but he was the only one who responded to my late night message with, I'll verify this, instead of trying to hurry me into a decision.

This next part seems pretty basic? But I promise it's not. *He actually answered messages consistently, and showed up when he said he would.* OK??

He did a professional, quick installation, and again, answered all my questions when I had them. I hope we never have water heater or plumbing issues again... but if/when we do, we will call him.
