Best Plumbing Services in Philadelphia, PA

After 17 years with my hot water heater and a toilet that didn't do its job, I sent a message on Yelp to Mark to replace the hot water heater and toilet.  After a couple messages to figure out what I needed Mark came over to take some measurement and give me an estimate on the job.  We agreed on the price and scheduled an appointment.  Only a few hours after he left my heater began clanking loudly so I went downstairs and turned off.  I called Mark and after sending him a few pictures agreed that my 30-40 year old boiler needed to be replaced.  it was difficult for find an appropriate boiler this late in the season, but Mark persisted and found one.  The next day Mark sent Bryan over and in short order he had replaced my water heater, toilet and heater.  Now I have a hot shower in a warm house, not to mention the incredible toilet.  It was a pleasure working with Mark and Bryan and I will definitely be calling them for my next job.  Thanks guys!!

After having my sewer line back up twice in two years due to root intrusions in the terracotta (!) pipe, I decided it was time to replace rather than just clear the line.  Travas was one of 3  plumbers that came to assess the issue.   I was impressed with his knowledge of and comfort with excavation.  He offered a fair price and followed through on everything as promised.  Emails and texts were promptly returned, questions thoroughly answered, online payment was easy, and permits and inspection handled without incident.  He and his team got started at 8a and were done by 3p.  I remain impressed with the speedy and professional work.  I've found the plumber I'll be calling for as long as I call Philly home.

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 has bailed me out on multiple occasions.  He is always extremely responsive at any call or text and then truly has the clients' best interest at heart when completing the job.  Whether it is a big or small job you get the same 1st class care and service. Please don't hesitate to call Warren & Boss Plumbing for anything, I know you will be taken care of.

Literally could not recommend more highly. They fixed a leak in my shower and then also replaced the same problem in another bathroom as a preventative measure. Reasonable prices, affable crew, quick responses and high-quality work. I would choose them again for any plumbing work in a heartbeat.

Xavier responded to the call so quickly and he was incredibly helpful with diagnosing the problem and providing information on next steps. He was awesome!! Definitely recommend.

It's my second time using them. First time Kit fixed garbage disposal that I thought needed to be replaced at a fraction of the cost. That's when he earned my trust. This time I called for a faucet installation and I needed someone who know what he's doing. I was worried that gold finish  could be scratched during installation. It turned out even better then expected. Completely happy with service.

My worst experience with a plumber was with Goodman Plumbing. Our basement flooded and we thought that the water was coming in through the front of the house as we knew that water had came in there before. Thinking it was finally time to get the job done before waterproofing the basement, we called Goodman. They charged us over $6000 to replace the stepwell drain, the downspouts, and a main sewer pipe going to the street, and the job was done in the most atrocious way. The new pipe work looked good at first, but not even a year after, we see that it was terrible. The water is not going down the stepwell drain, and even the cement box that the drain is built into is coming away from the house because of the crappy cement work and the fact that they did not even the dirt out correctly in my front yard. So now not only do I have an uneven front lawn that pools water everytime it rains, but the drain does not work still. We tried calling Goodman at least 10-15 times after they left, and they chose to ignore us now that they had their money. I would never deal with these thieves again, and I recommend others not to also.

Highly recommended!  I needed a plumber to fix something I tried doing myself (water supply line for an ice maker) but I screwed it up and needed a pro.  In the meantime a bucket was catching the drips.

Earlier in the day I had a plumber come from one of the bigger companies whose trucks I have seen in our area for years, come give an estimate.  He took a look, said he had to go call the boss, then came back with an absurdly high estimate.

Using Yelp I found Rick Lucas plumbing locally and called.  Rick answered the call, said he could be there within 1-2 hours, would call first.  He called back as promised and arrived shortly thereafter.

Rick took a look at what was needed.  He also determined that some additional copper piping adjacent to what I messed up needed to be repaired as it was corroded, and verbally gave me a price.

Rick not only replaced all the necessary piping including the additional areas that he recommended, he also added the necessary fittings and connections and shutoff valve and flexible steel supply hose and completed the connection to our new refrigerator.  Rick worked non-stop, and is professional, courteous and friendly, and cleaned up afterwards.

Best of all his price was 33% less than the first place that came.  (Plus I returned the parts I previously bought to Home Depot and Lowes so saved even more).

I am very pleased that I had Rick Lucas Plumbing do this job at our home, and wouldn't hesitate to call him the next time I need a plumber.

Our hot water tank cracked and started leaking suddenly. Mike came over the same day and was able to install new unit within 48hours. It is evident that he knows his business and does things the right and safe way. Have been looking for a reliable plumber for years! Mike is the guy.

He's simply honest. His work is always well done, he calls back later to make sure you're happy with it, he answers all questions in a way I can understand and never asks to speak to my husband or dad. They arrive on time, communicate well and their prices are fair. If you call for something he thinks you can do yourself, he'll flat out tell you how to trouble shoot it and to call back if you actually need him. Honest and hard working. Recommend him to all my neighbors as they move in. He's everyone's go to plumber on my block!

The hot water heater was leaking and needed replaced at a rental property. The tenant called on the afternoon and valdel was able to go over and replace that same day. I highly recommend valdel for your plumbing needs.

Didn't call them first, the first call would not show up. It was late, they came out they took care of it till it was done. I was very happy with their service.

Had flooding in my basement from a cracked drain pipe. They were able to come out the same day to give me an estimate and corrected the issue on the next day.

Prompt and professional.  Mark communicated frequently, was reasonable, and cleaned up leaving everything finished.

I worked with these guys two years ago and they came in and looked at the leak in my kitchen and said I needed a waste and trap. I paid them $145 to do it. Two years later, I have another leak and they say I need a waste and trap and charges me $145 again; this was after it took forever forever to actually respond to a call or message. Come to find out, I actually needed a lot more work than this and my piping was not properly installed with the house when I bought it. I was also told that the water leakage could be coming from the rusting on my tub and when we discussed the problem, one of the guys said that he didn't tell me this. Seriously? I had to practically beg to get a quote written out on paper from these guys. They then tried to get me to go through a public adjuster and had the nerve to tell me that I had trust issues. Well it pretty hard to trust folks in Philly when everyone tries to screw you over or not to quality work. These guys seemed to be more concerned with doing a quick job then actually fixing my leak for the long term. Eventually I went with another plumber who got the job done.

We contacted Mr. Rooter about the bathroom being clogged up for the whole house.  They were responsive and came out the next day.  They texted us a picture of the technician along with the name which is a nice touch so we know exactly who's coming and what they look like.

The technician was able to found the issue which was an old pipe that partly collapsed which caused the backup.  They use the camera to show us that the storm line was clear and the issue is only on the sanitary line.

The average rating was because we thought there's nothing else except to replace the broken area.  We have a sewage line warranty so we call that company to have them start the replacement process.  They send out a second plumbing company to confirm the issue but this company was able to clear the line partly to provide some relief while they get the permit for the replacement.  I felt Mr. Rooter's technician should have been able to do this in their visit to help the home owner so I'm a bit disappointed given all the outstanding reviews they have.

Update 2/15: the other company was able to clear the sewage line and they report it was fine and doesn't need replacing.  I'm glad we have a warranty and didn't spend several thousands replacing something not needed.

Never got the courtesy of a response. Not quite getting why Yelp recommended them if that's how they behave. Best to move on from plumbers like this one.
