Best Plumbing Services in Philadelphia, PA

Keith performed the testing of my backflow prevention assembly. Keith was on vacation, but he answered my call and booked the service right after getting back. He called me an hour before the scheduled time, arrived on time, and completed the testing in just 15 minutes. I recommend Keith for his professional service, excellent communication, and great value.

I have used Plumb Medic for years and recommend them to any and everyone who needs a plumber in the area. They are immediately responsive, have always been able to send someone out very quickly and I don't think I've ever had to wait a day for the repair. All the guys who I've had come out are friendly, very knowledgeable and so reliable. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

These guys are the best!!!  They've been our family plumber since the mid-90s and we've never been disappointed.  They arrive on time, provide excellent service, are always fair and go above and beyond - especially for little old ladies.  Thank you Tom & Mike!

5 stars. Got the best price among those that I requested quote and was even the first one to reply. Hesitant at first since I saw no reviews on his profile. Came on time. Did the job fast and disposed the old water heater quick. Definitely will contact him again should I need plumbing job.

Recently I discovered a very large crack in the sewer line in my crawl space. I called Wallace Plumbing, Mark and his son Jacob came right over to look at the job. I was panicking thinking the line would burst any second! He was very nice and calmed my fears. He gave me an  estimate and returned later to do the job.
He was fantastic! Returned calls quickly and did a great job replacing the old cast iron line with PVC.
I felt he was through and very honest. I will use Mark again when needed.

Recently bought a house in South Philly. I have used Mr. Tubs a couple of times for various repairs including replacing the main drainage pipe in my basement which had some slow leaks. They do an excellent job every time. Very responsive, show up on time, knowledgeable, great prices, work quickly, and clean up when they are done. Can't ask for anything more. Please give them a call!

Came right out. Cleared our stack fast. Charged reasonable rate. Explained everything clearly and felt very comfortable having them in my home to do the work. Definitely recommended.

Jeff and the entire team are extremely professional and very competent. There prices are competitive. We've had them do four jobs so far: Whole house humidification. Sump pump system advice and replacement and the gas portions of a whole house generator. We've also used them for a very simple drain cleaning.

They ALWAYS are on time, they do exactly what they say they will, they take care of your house (drop cloth's, shoe covers etc) and they do high quality work.

Completely recommend.

I have used roger ross 3 times so far. Every time he did a great job. His guys were very professional and always explained what needed to be done. They gave me there opinion  on things I should do and things I dont have to do right away. Great company to work with!

These guys are great and do good work. It's a little pricey but worth it because I can trust my plumbing issues have been solved!

They were very pleasant to work with and Rich was so helpful. Came out at 10 pm on a Saturday evening to clear a clogged drain. He was quick and very professional. The price was super reasonable for a Saturday night emergency service. Absolutely great company to work with.

Due to some extenuating issues,  I need help getting to the door to let anyone in. I explained that to the woman who answered the phone.  She was wonderful & accommodating. She said she would look into it & get back to me. Sure enough,  she kept her word. 5 thumbs up for customer service. This morning,  the tech arrived on time, got down to replacing the leaking garbage disposal. He cleaned up completely. A very kind person,  with double masks. I would definitely recommend them & use them again.

They never called me back!  So after waiting 24 hours, I called a different plumber who answered the phone and came out immediately.

Well I sent you the information you requested 3 weeks ago, and no one has reached out to me. This is exactly the issue I had with your company.  On a public platform you responded giving the impression you had followed up when in fact you have not. i am still waiting fir you to contact
me.

I have a defective sewer lateral write up from the city. The repair job involves a lot of street digging before the pipe can be replaced. I am so glad to have found Bart Emanuel & Son for the job. Joe and his crew definitely have the experience, tools and equipment to get the job done right, and their cost is very reasonable and affordable. Highly recommended.

If I could rate a 0, I would.  I even wish I could select negatives!  Here is what I shared with Horizon, yet they still adamantly stand by their quote of replacing a $10 plug-in CAD cell, at most 5-10 minutes of labor for over $500. I suggest you read other reviews of this practice and BEWARE!!!

10/17/2018:  As a follow-up to our phone conversation, I originally called Horizon to perform a tune-up on our oil-fired hot water heating system.  The boiler is a ~10 yr. old Burnham V8 PV85WT with a Beckett burner.  The scheduler informed me that the first available tune-up appointment wouldn't be until sometime in November.  I expressed concern in waiting that long because it was getting colder and we had no heat - the boiler was firing up, but shutting right down after a puff of smoke.  Knowing that the system functioned fine up until shutting it off after the last heating season, I assumed this would be a simple fix to get it running again.

On 10/16, two technicians showed up to service the unit.  After a while, checking whatever they checked, they both went back to the truck to call in their diagnosis of a bad CAD cell.  They returned and quoted my wife over $500 to fix it.  He also said he couldn't do it because he didn't have the part.  This seemed odd to me as the Beckett flame detector is more of a photo eye that rarely goes bad.  Besides, it's a $10-$13 part at most supply outlets!  After I arrive home, I was surprised that between two technicians, they couldn't get the heater going.

At about 11pm, I decided to do what I already knew how to do but didn't have the time (which is why I called Horizon):
1. I started the burner and bled the air
2. I opened the flame door and observed sparkling and inconsistent flame
3. I also observed a puff of smoke on successive restarts
4. At this point, I knew the CAD cell was working - doing what it's supposed to do in shutting the burner off if these conditions exist
5. I shut off the oil supply and disconnected the supply to the nozzle assembly
6. I removed the nozzle assembly and sprayed the parts with some brake cleaner, used some fine steel wool, then wiped everything down
7. I also wiped the inside (photo eye portion) of the CAD cell
8. I reassembled everything, turned back on the burner and bled the system of air
9. I now have heat.

All of the above took me about 15 or 20 minutes... and this is NOT what I do for a living!  This is why I called in a professional.  I would expect doing this every day, they would follow mostly the same process.  I am literally baffled by the attached quote and why this could not have been completed yesterday.

With all of that said - I probably still need the tune up.  The nozzle may need a better cleaning or replacing as the flame is still a bit inconsistent, and the oil filter is overdue.

Looking forward to your reply.

As of 12/3, I had no resolution or attempt from Horizon to remedy the situation despite emails, phone calls and messages.  They still stood by over $500 for the CAD cell, then schedule a tune-up (at least a month out), THEN they could address the other problems.

Frustrated, called another local company (who I will also review), who came out within 24 hours and immediately fixed the problem within 20 - 30 minutes for $189 all-in, parts and labor!  Like I said... BEWARE!

Knowledgeable guy and seems nice enough but he totally ripped me off knowing I'm a young homeowner. Here are the prices he charged me in case you're wondering if he's an honest businessperson:

$500 to replace a bathroom faucet
$200 to replace a shower head (I know nothing about plumbing; he could have told me I could easily do it myself)
$225 to replace a fill valve in the toilet

If you care at all about getting a fair rate, look elsewhere.
