Best Plumbing Services in Baltimore MD

Took a little longer than expected to complete the job and he charged more, but it got done and Mike is a nice and respectful guy who kept me informed along the way.  I would use him again!

Plumb Cheap was contracted by Lowe's to deliver and install a dryer.  Lowe's had been giving me problems with the delivery and install.  When things were set (three months later) with Lowe's, their contractor Plumb Cheap had called to make the appointment for the delivery and install.   What a great experience I had with Shawn after such a terrible experience with Lowe's.  

After three months of being disgruntled with Lowes, one might expect that I was quite frustrated with the whole process, and I'm sure when I talked to Shawn to make the deliver appointment my frustration showed.    

Regardless of my attitude, Shawn has given me an absolutely exceptional customer experience.  Shawn had taken me from being totally frustrated to feeling elated as she had taken control, contacted Lowe's and made sure the delivery and install went smooth.  It was a pleasure working with Plumb Cheap and I truly feel lucky that they were the contracted plumber.  

The important piece about this whole situation was, the washer was to be installed by Lowes, but they did not do the install by the time Plumb Cheap came out to install the dryer.  Plumb Cheap, rather than keeping the tenant inconvenienced any longer with no washer/dryer went ahead and installed the washer.

It can't get any better than this.  This is a remarkable company, great service, great customer focus.  Definitely recommending this company for your plumbing needs.

Had a main drain backup.  The Sewer Slayer crew came out very quickly (less than a few hours), and were able to clear the drain.

They were extremely pleasant to deal with, and pointed to the source of the issue with the drain.  This was several weeks ago, and the drain has stayed clear since.

If their services are ever needed (hopefully I won't anytime soon), I will call these folks again.

I hired Empire Plumbing and Heating today to fix a plumbing issue at our PAPYRUS location located in the Towson Town Center.  Not only were they fast to respond and fix our issue (it literally was less than 30 minutes from when I called them ) they were efficient and completed the job quickly and price was amazing. I would hire them again. I highly recommend them.

When I was searching for someone to do partial work on my basement project, I found Anthony online. When I met him he was very professional and friendly. When speaking to him and showing him my project he was very knowledgeable and new exactly what I needed for my basement project to get the job done and finished the work. He did the rough- in for my basement and it looks AWESOME!!! I would recommend Anthony to anyone who is looking for a great professional plumber and masonry repair worker. It is hard to find a really good person that is trustworthy, honest, knowledgeable, fair and someone who does not waist your time. I appreciate a hard worker and Anthony is just that!!!! He does ABSOLUTELY GREAT work!!!! Thanks a bunch.

I have used Best Mechanical, but never again. They are not reasonable in terms of price, parts have been faulty and I question their workmanship. On the last job, when I called them to fix a leak in a sewer ejector that they installed about 3 years ago, they charged me $275 for about 1/2 hour's time.  I wasn't happy that the apparatus was already leaking, but to charge what equates to $550/hour is outrageous. I contacted an owner to complain about the bill, but was never able to reach him.  I left 3-4 voice messages and I sent an email.  I would not recommend using them.

Chesapeake Plumbing is a dishonest company. I have had a leak in my bathroom and before I chose to hire them I tried to properly vet them. I told them about my leak and asked if they did drywall repair. I told them that the cabinets needs be removed to see the plumbing. I specifically asked will I get a complete job to get this done, I was assured that I would. After there installer was already there for an hour he calls me to discuss the project and then I find out that they don't do caulking or drywall repairs. I said I asked for a complete job, it's fine that your company doesn't do it but why say that you do to get a job? Be honest in the first place because I wouldn't have hired them. He suggested that I replace the wax ring and tighten the shower arm, they did that and left. That did not work and I still have a leak. They are saying it may be the caulking. They did not remove the cabinet to check the pipes for leaks. Now they are charging me almost $300 to replace a wax ring and tighten shower arm without fixing my problem. I talked to the owner to tell him my concerns and told him my vetting procedure. He flat out called me a liar and accused me of trying to get out of paying my bill and threaten to call the health department. If they did not lie to me in the first place and promising me a complete job I would have gotten someone else. Do not trust these people they will lie to get a job!

Now that the house in question has been sold, I can feel free to publicly air this issue.

Jason Tart, the owner of Baltimore Sewer Service, is not licensed as a plumber, who does horrible work that causes damage to people's homes and health, and continues to get away with it.

I am speaking from a combination of personal experience and professional knowledge of the law, as well as familiarity with public records in Maryland. Everything I say is true and verifiable, and I will provide screenshots as evidence.

Tart has been repeatedly charged with and convicted of performing plumbing services without a license, in violation of Maryland Business Occupations and Professions 12-601, a misdemeanor carrying a penalty of up to 6 months' imprisonment per violation. He uses the Internet to lure unsuspecting customers to employ him for serious issues that he has no training to handle. Some, like myself, experience substantial damage to their property as a result. Others, like a couple I met in court, dealt with not only property damage but extreme health complications due to his misuse of chemicals on their sewer line.

In our case, Tart promised to provide us with a free video scope of our sewer line, which an earlier, honest and licensed plumber, had told us was not at fault, but rather that there had been a collapse on the part of Baltimore City's line in the middle of the road. We were lured in by this promise, the outstanding (apparently fake?) reviews, and his professional looking website.

When he arrived, he claimed that his result had contradicted our earlier scope of the sewer line. He promised to get the issue fixed for a price that was lower than the market rate. Thinking we were dealing with a licensed plumber with a good reputation, we agreed without getting a third opinion.

Rather than following appropriate protocol, getting permits or using heavy machinery to dig in our yard, as required by the work and the law, Tart hired a couple of day laborers to dig with hand shovels until they not only struck but actually broke our sewer line...but only after cutting into it in our basement and using a garden hose to supposedly try to flush it out - causing a small flood. Ultimately, he declared that, seeing with his own naked eyes rather than the seemingly fictional scope, that the blockage was over the property line and the responsibility of the city, in an effort to con us into continuing to entrust him. We didn't fall for it. My wife immediately demanded a return of all our money (which he provided), I found out that he was not licensed, and in fact had a history of working without a license, and filed a complaint with the plumbing board, to deal with the damage he had caused.

I eventually saw him in court and settled for less than I should've, rather than seeing him go to jail, because I figured he was potentially dangerous and I didn't want to try my luck while he knew where I lived.

Response time was good. Two other plumbers were giving next day as a response time.
Cost was ridiculous at $800 to come out and run a snake for a 90 minute job.
Usually go to Home Depot and do it myself for under $100. Circumstances at the time didn't warrant that.
Although they got the job done effectively would not use again.

While the plumber was on time and was wearing a mask I was charged almost $700 to snake my front lawn drain.  While that was discouraging, if it had worked I would have been okay with it.  As soon as the plumber left I flushed the toilet and it overflowed all over the bathroom floor.  I had to call another plumber in to snake it and after he did it, it worked fine. When I called Catons to complain they said since the second plumber did the work on my drain in the first place (they did - years ago) they were not responsible.  How can you not be responsible for snaking a drain incorrectly, charging huge amounts of money, have the toilet overflow as soon as the plumber leaves and not even offer a refund of sorts? I paid to have a drain snaked and  that was never done correctly and I had to pay the price out of my pocket and by cleaning up a bathroom mess.

Buyer beware of this company!  I had a clogged kitchen sink that was that required a snake job to unclog it.  Roto-Rooter sent a plumber by who assessed the issue and asked for a flat rate of 620$ !  I told him that is way to much and he immediately said he could give a discount and the price instantly changed to 350$.  I said no and he left.  He then came back 5 minutes later saying he could do the job for 250$.  I was just put off at this point and went with much cheaper options.   Buyer beware of the ever changing price!

Very knowledgeable and great price. Would recommend and use again. Had a small leak coming from my cold water line and had it fixed without a problem.

This company is a big scam. I should not have trusted Jeffrey Muncey and the owner. I paid for a project that was not completed.

Jeff  Muncey locked my property and ran away with the keys without completing the project. I had to buy a new lock and pay a locksmith for a new installation.  I paid upfront $750 to Valley View Handyman Services for nothing. They are not responding to phone calls or texts. This was a total nightmare but I'll make sure that justice will be served.

I have more details but hope this summary warns others so they can avoid similar cons.
