Mike is wonderful: dependable, personable, reliable, and competent - the type of professionalism you don't get to see much these days. He installed a water heater and saved me thousands by advising me against digging up my finished basement and bathroom to install a french drain for which a big-name company provided me with a whopper of a quote. He cleaned out my outside drain and checked my sump pump, charging me a minimal price for both. I will absolutely call My Plumber again for any & all my plumbing, HVAC needs.

Michael facetimed with me this morning to fix a hot water heater problem.
He saved me from paying Roto Rooter a fortune to come on a weekend!
Great guy!

I called these guys when my hot water stopped working, and they came by on a free consultation (the other places I called charged $75 or more just to look at it). It turned out the gas company turned off my heater when they were here recently and didn't turn it back on. Mike and Bernie turned it on and didn't charge anything at all for their trouble. They even gave me advice on a separate issue I'm having. Great company!
These plumbers did a fantastic job hooking up a utility sink and fixing a broken toilet flange. Easy to work, knowledgable and friendly!
Glad to have them as my plumbers!!!

Michael and his team are THE BEST! They really care AND they do amazing work- can't ask for anything more! I am truly thrilled that I found them, I will never use another plumber as long as I live in Philadelphia! Yes, they're busy but that is an obstacle I will gladly deal with to support a local business. Thanks so much to Michael and his team for all the great work!

Michael was excellent. He came right away, did a great job and was as nice as could be. I highlky recommend MY PLUMBER
Michael to the rescue. unclogged sewer line. Professional and kind. Explained everything! Beyond grateful!
NO SHOW- I must be one of the unlucky ones Mike came by to check what needed to be done scheduled me for the following week and never showed up, called or returned my call

Michael from My Plumber was fast, efficient, and very knowledgeable! He got here quickly on a Saturday and replaced our water heater within 2 hours. He even followed up later to make sure our hot water was working properly.
Very reliable - I would definitely hire them again.
These guys will definitely be my go-to - knowledgeable and not just out to make a buck off of people who don't know better. Have a pipe that needs replacing and he explained how doing it myself was super feasible and way cheaper. Offered lots of tips on tools, etc. and was really helpful. Wore a mask as well which I appreciated. Definitely call these guys up for your plumbing needs!
Had mike come out to install a new faucet that I purchased a while back. He was great!! Super efficient, talked me through everything he did, and even tightened my garbage disposal and re adjusted my sink hose while he was at it! Will definitely use again and can't recommend enough! Thank you !
Mike is great. We just moved into a new home in South Philly and had a bunch of stuff from our inspection list that we needed to have taken care of. First was the HVAC condensation not draining properly. He came by the next day to build out the appropriate fix for it. Really quick and explained what he did in detail.
He also talked us through some of the other stuff on our list and look forward to calling him up again to take care of it.

I can't say enough positive things about these guys!! I needed someone to come look at my forced hot water heater since heat wasn't working upstairs and also needed a clogged toilet looked at. They came quickly, were open and honest with what the issue and fix needed was, and did it in a timely manner. They were also very reasonable with their prices.
I have since had them come over for two more separate incidents dealing with pipes/leaking and they were able to quickly resolve the issues once again.
Highly recommend this company! They will be getting all my plumbing business going forward!
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.
These guys are great. I called in a panic over the weekend because I was leaving to move out of state and had someone moving in in two days. Joe FaceTimed with me to asses the problem and was honest that I should wait until Monday to save on pricing. He said he would be there at 8 am and not to worry. Him and his coworker were so kind and really took the time to do a good job and make sure everything was all set. I cannot recommend them enough!

I've called them multiple times for a very simple job.....namely to hook up the water line for the fridge. They've refused to follow through on this very simple job.

Mike initially replaced a garbage disposal for me and then came to my house on two other occasions to assess plumbing issues. He took the time, all at no cost, to give me advice and accurate information which I greatly appreciated. I would definitely hire him again and I have him listed as my number one choice for a plumber in my contacts list :)
I have never been more impressed in my life with service that this company provided. The plumbers, Mike and Bernie were outstanding. They were on time, quickly installed my hot water heater, cleaned up and left in just about an hour. They provide a great service and they are great human beings. The price was probably the best I could've ever got. I highly recommend my plumber to anybody out there in south Philly Or anywhere else in the city if you need an honest reliable trustworthy plumber. Thank you

I'm underway on a bathroom renovation and realized that the type of vanity we want won't work with the sink plumbing coming out of the floor. I left Mike a message in the morning, he calls me an hour or two later, scheduled for later that day, spent 2-3 hours at my house, and voila! In one day of realizing an issue, my plumbing is now sticking out of the wall instead of out of the floor. His price was more than reasonable, and he even had to troubleshoot a bit since there was an unexpected steel plate in the way behind the wall.
All of that warranted a positive review. Thanks, Mike!

Great service and would definitely call again if I need plumbing services again. He came out in a snow storm to snake my toilet. When we realized something had fallen off the shelf above the toilet into the toilet and that snaking it wouldn't help, he provided great recommendations on a new toilet. He didn't charge me for that initial visit. He picked up the new toilet, lugged it up 4 flights, and quickly removed the old toilet and installed the new one. Really nice guy and great service.
I have SO MUCH gratitude towards Mike from My Plumber- I called because of a kitchen sink backflow/leak- he took the time to hear what the presenting issue was over the phone and diagnosed the issue (clog in the building's main water line, not my pipes) just from hearing details of the story, and gave me advice for what to do to get the issue solved, even though he didn't make any money off the transaction and didn't end up doing the job. He could sense I was nervous about the issue and was super encouraging. This just goes to show how truly knowledgeable and actually just a kind person Mike is. Definitely will call them for future plumbing needs.
Mike was quick to reply to my text, and came out the next day during the window he said he would. He called 15 minutes in advance, looked at my leaky house faucet, and repaired it on the spot in about 10 minutes. He was friendly, funny, and the price was great (another recommended company estimated the project at more than 3x the price). Definitely going to call him again if I need plumbing help.
Absolutely great work from Mike! We had a clogged kitchen sink. He not only managed to come the same day we called but explained everything he did including how to prevent it from happening. I will definitely recommend him to anyone who needs a honest and professional plumber.

They came to my house for an evaluation of my issue. They showed up 4 1/2 hours after the 2-hour window they gave me. I had to call twice, since they didn't bother to update me. Two days later I called again because my issue had worsesewer line was blocked. They told me they would be there in 2 hours. After waiting 4 hours, we had a heavy storm which flooded my finished basement. They never showed up or called. It they had been honest with me, I could have arranged for another plumber, avoided lots of cleaning work, and not have had my personal items destroyed. They are so unreliable, I would never recommend them to anyone.

Thank you for the reply. I did find the repairmen who came to be knowledgeable. But if they aren't reliable, it doesn't matter how knowledgeable they are.
I cannot say enough good things about Michael, who came out to look at my slow flushing toilet. I tried many things myself in an attempt to fix it and resolved myself to needing a new toilet, so I called MyPlumber. Michael first gave me a few tips over the phone, and when they didn't work, he came out. Most plumbers would have automatically told me I needed a new toilet, but Michael spent a good 30 minutes cleaning calcification out of the siphon jet with a wire hanger and the toilet was good as new. He was an unbelievably nice guy and even gave me some tips for unrelated plumbing issues he noticed in my bathroom. I have dealt with my fair share of crappy contractors and handymen so this was a nice change of pace. When you find a good one you have to hang on to them. Highly, highly recommend!
Incredible help! Called Mike with a problem, he was here to help in less than 2 hours, not only helped me identify the issue but also provided lots of advice and guidance. I think I just found my go-to plumber. 100% recommend.

Through uncommon integrity, Michael saved me $650. Another company did a poor job of unclogging my sewer line. While I was read to pay My Plumber $300 to fix it, they instead did something I have never seen before - they chose to forgo the profit and instead told me what the other plumbing company should have done, and instructed me how to get the problem resolved.
While I haven't yet seen their work, I was blown away by the honesty and integrity. Kudos. And you have my business and trust going forward.

I had a plumbing emergency and was extremely panicked as water was leaking everywhere. My Plumber was literally at my place 10 minutes later. He calmed me down while helping to fix the situation. Definitely on my speed dial from now on. Hire them.
Minor toilet problem, came promptly, repaired problem, reasonable cost---exactly what I wantrd
Overpriced! $375 to change a faucet! I used these guys based on previous reviews of how reasonable they are. I disagree....they may be knowledgeable but this simple job did not merit the cost. Shop around and trust your gut about contractors.

We had a problem with the spigot on our rooftop deck and called My Plumber. Mike showed up in 30 minutes and diagnosed our problem. The spigot was not working at all, but the spigot on our outside patio was working. Mike stayed with us and helped us solve the problem within 15 minutes. We had accidentally turned off the knob in the basement three years ago and it cut off the flow to the spigot on the roof. Mike didn't charge us for the visit and he was a great guy to talk to about our plumbing issues. We highly recommend him for your plumbing service.
Thank you
While we were out of town we were alerted by our roommate that we had a leak in the garage and it was the water heater. We found this out at 5:30 pm. We called My Plumber due to a good review he had in our community and Mike answered within an hour and gave us specific instructions on how to turn it off immediately and not wait until the morning to avoid a hazardous situation. He said if we had no one to do it in person, he would drive himself to turn it off.
The next day he came in first thing to evaluate the reason of the leak and took care of it that day.
We highly recommend Mike and My Plumber. Don't call anyone else. Call Mike.

Came out 3 times to fix the heater. Never fixed it, were rude and told me that if it still didn't work that I needed to call someone who know better than them.

This guy is awesome and does no take advantage.
I had a clogged drain on my roof deck and he was here within a couple of days. I had two quotes that were RIDICULOUS from plumbers who were clearly trying to take advantage. One quote was $450 to snake my drain! (stay away from roto rooter under all circumstances). The technicians were curious and professional, fixed the problem and didn't charge me an arm and a leg. I will only use them from here on out.
I called about a job and Bernie told me to text him photos, so that he could provide a quote over the phone. I did, immediately. No reply. Two days later, I texted again to follow up. Bernie: Address please. I texted my address. Bernie: Photos please.
So I sent the photos again. No reply. The next day, I sent another follow-up message. Bernie: Are you available today? Me: Yes, what time? No reply.
If the business of a potential client is so unimportant right out of the gate, I suppose I'm better off having never heard back.
I came home to an actively flooding basement and called My Plumber after the water dept did not send anyone for 2 hours. I was given completely free, very valuable, level headed advice. There was absolutely nothing in it for him, but he knew I was panicked and did me such a service with his advice, reminding me of electrocution precautions and how to deal with the PWD. It ended up that my neighbors hot water heater burst and I did not need any emergency work, but the next time I need a plumber I know who I'll be calling.
So we had a drain issue out in the front of our house and Mike was the best. When i called he calmed me down and explained how simple it was to fix. They came out literally within the hour i called. He and his coworker unclogged the drain in like 10 minutes and cleaned the sidewalk for us! Amazing service if i could give ten stars i would! Definitely will use again and definitely will be referring them to others! Thanks Mike!

Elite. Extremely nice guy, very helpful. Took ample amount of time to explain the issue we were experiencing. Then suggested a plan of action followed by further steps should the issue persist.

If you have to call him multiple times, then maybe it will be worth it. I left him a message with the problem, I clearly stated my name and number twice. Maybe he didn't see the profit in it.
Upped to 3 stars because he did finally reply via yelp.

Nicest guy came to my house less than an hour after I called. He diagnosed the problem, showed me the issues with my shower and fixed my shower head for free. Then, he recommended another great company to fix the underlying issue which is with the glass door framing rather than the plumbing. I will definitely be going with My Plumber for any other plumbing issues I have in the future. I highly recommend.
I had a mystery issue with a basement toilet. Scheduling was easy and they arrived on time. Will certainly call again if I have any issues.
Awesome experience today with Mike and Bernie. I reached out a couple of days ago to other plumbers with higher ratings, and I am still waiting for the calls back. I called My Plumber today, Bernie picked up the phone right away, told me that they would try to come in today and that's what they did.
Bernie said that they would come after their last job. It was around 7:3ish and I thought maybe they would postpone because it was getting late, but nope, they still came in after what it seems to have been an already long day at work.
I had an issue with some pipes that made a terrible noise when I flushed one of my toilets, I had been mortified for a while thinking that some extensive work would need to be done. Upon arrival Mike asked a bunch of questions to get to the root of the problem, explained a few things and then asked a few extra questions...and just like that he realized that my issue was that some pipes had not been in use for a while and were creating a massive echo when the toilet got flushed, he took care of the issue and just like that...problem solved! My vision of taking down walls and thousands of dollars spent on this dissipated in a second.
I'm a pretty handy woman but plumbing is not my forte...They could have told me I had whatever and I would have potentially bought it. But that was not the case, Mike was super honest, super nice and on top of that, gave me advise on how to caulk a shower the way he would do it. So cool. I can't thank Bernie and Mike enough for their service. The next time I need a plumber, I know who to call, and I will sure recommend them to my coworkers.
Thank you, guys!!!

We called My Plumber because of the great reviews and availability on a Sunday. Bernie answered our call on a Sunday and diagnosed the problem over the phone and gave us instructions on what to buy and how to attempt to solve the issue to save us some money. He diagnosed the problem correctly (clogged main) but we were unable to fix ourselves and sent someone right over when we called on Monday morning. Everyone we interacted with was extremely kind and helpful. The issue was solved quickly and without too much financial damage.

The guys came, sized up the jobs and came back the next day to complete. They have done 2 jobs for us- a toilet assembly and a garbage disposal replacement. Not cheap but not overpriced either. Bernie and his partner are good natured S. Philly guys! Recommended.
Stay away - they can't be trusted. I took time off of work to get an estimate on 5 jobs in my house. They canceled my appointment the first time because they ran too late on other jobs. I was flexible, we rescheduled for the following week. After the technician looked at the jobs, he said no problem - you'll receive an estimate in a few hours - we can knock everything out in a half day. It's two weeks later and no estimate, no response from business even after I left a message. And believe it or not, I'm a repeat customer! My experience was similar to Patrick C who posted on 7/23/19. I just read other posts - the owner seems to apologize A LOT after the fact. If you run a business properly, you don't have to apologize so often. The owner should probably retire or sell his business to someone who cares.

I tried to fix a plumbing issue in my old-fashioned South Philadelphia bathroom myself and ran into some snags. Bernie and Mike responded same day and fixed it for a very reasonable price. I'd definitely use them again!
honestly, I have to wonder if the people who have written bad reviews are dealing with another company. I have dealt with them on four occasions over 6 years. On one HUGE job where they had to dig under a basement-less kitchen, their quote came in $2700 cheaper than the next best quote. some plumbers even refused the work... you might say: cheaper aint always better. On all four jobs they have thoroughly explained the issue and resolved it. all 4 jobs were done to perfection... on two of the four occasions, the job was minor. once they wouldnt take a dollar. and the second time, after trying to help me out over the phone and text (no charge), they came out within 20 minutes, fixed my issue, and charged me way less than what they could have (and what i offered)
i would say the only somewhat negative experience is that one time they couldnt make it out same day and recommended another plumber, who i didnt think was great. not horrible, but not great. (so maybe thats what happend with the person that left a bad review here?)
... the two main guys are Bernie and Michael i think - both good guys. reasonable, communicative and based on my handful of experiences: they are honest and do good work

I was really impressed with My Plumber's team. Mike went above and beyond to take care of us. We had a wobbly toilet bowl due to a broken plastic flange that a previous plumber refused to fix since it's a pain. Mike did the job really well but also solved another unrelated issue in our basement bathroom without charging us extra. Will definitely work only with him going forward. He is really knowledgeable and cool. Strongly recommend!

If I could give these guys 6 stars, I would. They were amazing. We got new granite counters and needed to reconnect our faucet and move the drainage pipe, reconnect the garbage disposer, etc. Bernie was very available and communicative, easy to work with. He coordinated with my schedule and showed up with Mike exactly as promised. They were efficient, did a great job, and very reasonably priced. Not only did they do great work, but they explained everything they did so I could do basic repairs myself if anything should go wrong in the future. I'd recommend them anytime!
Also - FYI, I know there are two not so great reviews on Yelp, but they have 21 reviews on Angie's List and are rated A, and have 22 Google reviews and get a 4.5.
These guys are so very professional. Fair price, good services, and honest feedback that the blockage in our pipes preceded the amount of time we've lived in our building. They agreed to vouch for this fact and as a result, our landlord agreed to reimburse us, for which I am very grateful. These guys definitely earned the money. Glad I went with them as I also called roto-rooter (who are supposed to work around the clock) around 12:30 and they said they couldn't come until tomorrow. These guys were fast. A lifesaver.
Bernie and Mike were awesome. Very knowledgeable and willing to help. Cannot recommend highly enough.
We've used the My Plumber services a couple of times now. Mike is our usual guy, and most recently both Bernie and Mike came to help us with our wobbly toilet. They've done an amazing job every time and are very easy to get ahold of, which I really appreciate. We will only use their services for our house and I highly recommend you do the same!
Called on Monday to schedule an appointment on Thursday. Had to call back twice to get the time confirmed. Then confirmed it via text for a window from 10 AM to 12 PM. I took off from work and sat there waiting and the plumber never showed up. I texted with no answer and then took 3 calls to get a hold of Bernie who had originally confirmed the appointment but now claimed he never put it in his schedule. Unprofessional, disorganized and can't be trusted to show up.
So thankful for their quick reply and professionalism. We had an issue with our bathroom sink. After leaving a message, we heard back quickly and then they were on our doorstep. We will definitely be calling them again if ever the need arises.
Bernie got back right away with quote and set a time. They got in touch to say they were on their way which is always nice. Mike actually came in to make sure I didn't just need a service call before switching it out. That type of service is VERY MUCH appreciated and rare.
Mike changed garbage disposal for me. Didn't take long. Nicest guy! Very professional, personal and knowledgeable.
Think I found my new plumbers!
Today we awoke to a basement full of water in full panic mode we did everything we could think of to stop the water we turned off the water line to the water heater, we turned off the water line coming out of the water heater, and we turned off the main water line. Unfortunately non of this helped and we knew we needed to call for help. Well I'm glad we did. Mike showed up super quick and found the answer we couldn't find. Not only did he do an expert job finding the source of the water, but he also explained what he was doing, and told us tips along the way. He was professional and most importantly, nice throughout the entire process. The cause of the leak was found to be the next door water main running into our house, and because of this he said hey no charge guys. He gave us advice on what to do with the water (we used it and it worked great). I can tell you he has made a customer for life, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to all my friends who live in the area. In fact as soon as I get back to work I'm going to tell all my coworkers to use him. It can be hard finding a good person to rely on in philly, and believe me he is a great person. Thank you so much you really saved out day from being a total disaster.
I would not advise doing business with this company. I called and set up an appointment with a technician not only did to technician not show up but did not even respond to my text to enquire where he is. When I called back to the office the phone rang somebody picked up and immediately was disconnected.

Just a quick review. Only spoke with Bernie on the phone regarding my water heater issue. Very patient, helpful, and offered suggestions. Even though we didn't get to a conclusion, I would have utilized his services without a doubt given his attitude towards his customers.
Our friends referred us to MyPlumber when we bought a house in South Philly. We have used them for 2.5 years on multiple occasions for issues related to bathroom, kitchen, water heater and boiler and have always been extremely satisfied with them. They are comprehensive in their knowledge about all things plumbing related and they are very honest and reasonable. We trust them very much and appreciate their willingness to come to our house usually with very short notice. Bernie and Mike are both very friendly and very trustworthy plumbers. We would not consider using anyone else.
These guys were absolutely great! Went above and beyond- cleaned up our ceiling because it was harder to get the job done but didn't charge more for that- when does that happen?
Straight shooters, excellent work, professional and courteous-explained everything-would highly, highly recommend.
Called around 5pm one evening, asking about getting a clogged bathtub drain cleared out, would he be able to come the next day? I was told no problem, texted address and contact information to cell phone as requested.
Called the next morning around 11am. Now no answer on the office number, called cell phone. Sounded as if he'd forgotten about my job, but was told he would be there around 1pm. Called again at 3:30pm, no answer now on cell or office phone. Left a message and said if I didn't hear back by 4pm, I'd call someone else to get the job done. No response, so that's exactly what I did. Roto-Rooter was there within an hour of my call to them at 4pm and had it all fixed in an hour. I'm sure My Plumber would've been cheaper, but their customer service leaves a lot to be desired.
My Plumber said he would come around 3pm He called when he was 20 minutes away so I did not have to wait at home. He is very knowable about plumbing issues. He advised me what I have fix and ways he could do it. His rates are very reasonable. When I was talking to my neighbor she told me that she has been using them for years on 3 houses she had in the city. I was so lucky that someone at the gym recommended them to me. I usually don't write these reviews, but I felt I had to share.

One of my pipes cracked, and we had to open up a wall to see what was going on. As first-time homeowners, my husband and I were pretty nervous, but Bernie and Mike were wonderful to work with. They were prompt in getting back to me, provided my husband and me great advice, and answered all of our questions. They were patient with us, communicative, and willing to explain everything. I would definitely recommend hiring them!
It's so nice to find a plumber in Roxborough that actually shows up when he says he will and fixes things the first time. His pricing is competitive and he does what he says he will do the first time. Follow-ups and call-backs are much faster than average for the area. Thank you so much!!

I've used My Plumber on two occasions now, and couldn't be happier with the experience. Bernie not only thoroughly explained my issues, but also explained how my century-old home's plumbing is set up, and where potential weak points are. Unlike some professionals I've dealt with over the years, it was very much a service rather than a sales call, as I'm sure there were things they could have tried to charge me for, but didn't. This is only the third review I've ever written on Yelp, but it's for good reason -- My Plumber is the easiest of recommendations.
These guys are here to help. I called them for sense they had one of the higher reviews on help and I was not disappointed. I didn't even need their services but they help me anyway. Bernie specifically walked me through my plumbing issue and taught me quite a few things that will be useful in the future. He also referred me to some great contractors that were super friendly, helpful, and fast! If i ever need a plumbing issue in the future I will definitely be contacting Bernie!. Thank you!
I was working on changing out some old outdated fixtures in my bath and realized I wasn't experienced as I thought to change out some of the piping. So I called these guys since they were local. At first I was skeptical but at the end of the day I may have paid more then I wanted but all in all it was fair price and amount of quality work they did and even spotted a mistake I made and fixed it. Doing this saved me probably so much more money and stress. I highly recommend these guys. Gave a clear description on what to do and expect. I'd call them again for sure. Thanks Bernie
Great experience this morning. Came within an hour of my call to unclog my curb trap (my basement utility sink had been filling up with waste water as a result of a neighboring pavement/tree removal job, so I wanted the job done as soon as possible). Within 20 minutes, it was fixed at a reasonable price. Was honest, informative, friendly, and explained every step to me, plus gave me some helpful tips for maintenance and prevention. I'll definitely be using My Plumber as my go-to plumber now.
Bernie called back the same day. I told him I was at the pediatrician and he told me to text him when I got home. They came that evening. Mike came to the door and I showed him the PVC pipes and garbage disposal I'd recently installed. He was super friendly and quickly resolved the leaking. Of course I'm going to call them again.
Very helpful guys. Ended up saying that I don't need them and could work through the problem myself, gave me some pointers on how to do it and didn't take my money. Will definitely use them when I really do have a need.
Can't recommend these guys enough. Had a guy from a different company look at our toilet and said that we needed a new one, so I contacted My Plumber to install it because I saw their Yelp deal. They picked us up a new toilet at Home Depot (calling to give us a recommendation on what toilet to get and what the various prices were). Then, when they arrived at my house, they looked and said that we didn't need one. They said they could fix the old one, and if their fix didn't work the $89 we spent to get it fixed could be applied to getting them to come back out and install the new toilet. They then took the new toilet back without charging us anything for the inconvenience. Above and beyond the call of duty. I won't hesitate to call these guys back the next time we have a problem.
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.

Needed help with a small but time-sensitive project. Scheduled a Saturday morning appointment. No one showed up or called. Tried to call the number on Yelp but it no longer rings, and the number on the website has said All circuits are busy all morning. Very frustrating.
Damn. Sorry that the other two people had such bad experience with this guy. My experience was actually terrific!
My hot water heater on my rented home went bust over the weekend, on a friends advice I was told to try My Plumber. He came out within 2 hours, told me what I already knew, that it was dead dead dead. Came on Monday with a replacement hot water heater that was way under what I expected to pay.
I have used Bernie and Mike for a toilet replacement and shower valve replacement over the last couple years - they are fast, friendly, reliable, and competitively priced. Highly recommended.
Called Bernie for a plumbing/sewage situation that had been brewing for some time in our house. He was incredibly responsive, returning my call within the hour. We set up a time that worked with my busy schedule, within a day, for him to come over to assess the situation. He was prompt, courteous, honest, and incredibly knowledgeable. We will be using My Plumber for all future plumbing needs!
They started off great on the first job, but when the job failed, they didn't call back, didn't show for the appointment and left me hanging for weeks! I had to call another plumber and pay again for the job to be fixed correctly! I was really disappointed in them.
Excellent experience. Mike and Bernie quickly and neatly installed a new hot water heater on the third floor of our tiny house. Price was less than we'd budgeted. Will definitely recommend them in the future.
These guys take advantage of women. He wanted 3200$ for a job that didn't even have to be done. I thought this was an outrageous amount of money but didn't show my displeasure at the time. I then got on the phone and called another plumber, who came out and fixed the problem in 30 minutes for 125$. They wanted to rip up my whole sidewalk and replace a pipe that was broken. They spent 5 minutes assessing the situation and claimed it was going to be super expensive. Either they a). they are scammers or b). the contractor was just outright stupid and shouldn't even be a plumber in the first place

We're about two months late on this review, but better late than never.
These guys were great. We took advantage of their free estimate, so they didn't get paid for their visit to us, but they were super competent, incredibly helpful (giving us some suggestions that saved us a bundle), funny, and just a pleasure to deal with (they even sang us an Italian song). Would highly recommend.

Called the guys and they came over a few days later. Took a look at my sink, gave me a quote and knocked the job out in 30 minutes. Great stuff, totally professional and knowledgeable. Will definitely use again.
