Best in Philadelphia PA

A pipe fitting broke just before Thanksgiving dinner.  Was able to shut off water and clean up mess and went on with dinner.  The next morning I entered a Yelp request to four plumbers.  Within 10 minutes, Mark (the owner of JB Plumbing) responded, saying he lived in the same town I do and could come over.  He did and evaluated the situation.  It was a bit more extensive than first thought, and unfortunately he didn't have the right part in hand.  He called another plumber to see if they could help and checked various supply houses.  Ultimately he said that if I couldn't get someone in to let him know, and he'd bring over one of his techs from Philadelphia, pick up the needed part, and be back at 8:30am the next morning.

Given the reponses of the other plumbers and the high ratings of JB, I decided best to go with the bird in hand.  Great decision - they were on time, careful of the property, and wasted no time in fixing the problem.  They also rerouted a valve for the sprinkler system that made it much easier to find and operate.

I'm very appreciative of the quick response, genuine desire to help, and the quality of the work.

Thanks Mark/JB Plumbing!

Highly recommended. We had a bad clog in an outdoor sewage/storm drain (old house in downtown Philly) and it backed up and overflowed. I called them at 9:00 and Manuel was here within an hour. He was persistent and professional and the clog put up quite a fight, but he got the job done in less then two hours. Manuel kept me apprised of progress along the way. Very happy with their work.

I called A-1 for a water leak issue I had with my rental property. I only had a short window to have it fixed between switching over tenants. Brandon picked up right away and had someone over to address it WITHIN THE HOUR. Very knowledgeable, quick to respond and honest work.

Called to have water heaters replaced.  Fantastic service, very professional, great communication, and gave me lots of good advice on other things in the basement (chimney stack, radiator boiler) that needed fixing for nothing.  I even got a discount on an unrelated pseudo-emergency sewer line backup that happened the day they were scheduled to arrive.

I'll be calling Warren again in the future.

Aqua Plumbing is not a company of plumbers. They are a well oiled team of master craftsmen

Warning: this will not be a short review. You can't boil down greatness into a couple of sentences.

I originally contacted Aqua Plumbing and Heathing to have a faucet installed outside on the front of my wall. I gathered some estimates from them and others but chose to pick Aqua based on their high ratings (well deserved) and their customer service ettiquette and super quick response times. Mike was here later that same week to look at the desired location on the front of my house, the current plumbing and the fixture I provided. He provided a fair estimate and was able to complete the work that same day in not much time at all. His attention to detail, professionalism and humor are all top-notch. He definitely went above and far beyond with providing a clean installation with a relatively simple job.

With such a great experience the first time, I decided to reach back out to have all of the plumbing from my bathroom and main drain/vent stack replaced. I also wanted to replace a leaky tee fitting that was dripping onto a black iron gas pipe directly beneath it and the gas pipe itself. This was definitely a big job in such an old house since there was cast iron, a waste/vent stack that ran outside from the bathroom and entered back through the basement to the main sewer and a lot of old school engineering involved.

No matter what challenges were thrown, unexpected leaks from bad joint connections, routing piping around windows, etc, Mike and Bobby handled everything on the fly with amazing results. Just like the previous job, the quality of the work was absolutely impeccable. Everything looks as if it came originally with the house and I can't think of anything more to improve any of the new work. It's rare that I completely trust anyone with working on my house but with Mike and crew there was never a doubt/concern in my mind. Now we have all new up to code infrastructure with room to update/repair/replace much more easily in the future. Even on post work walk through, Mike provided some recommendations to replace my water heater with a shorter model of same capacity due to how the exhaust was currently routed incorrectly. The attention to detail can not be emphasized enough!

No matter what work you're looking to have done, Aqua is the best. Period. We will be using them again for future work we have planned and recommending them others in need of plumbing work.

I was in a crunch for time and John was quick to respond, on a Sunday at that. He fit me in the next day and worked around my schedule. After immediately determining what the issue was, he was able to be in and out in under an hours time. Luckily, he had the right parts in his truck and was able to completely replace the garbage disposal in that time.

I also want to mention that I'm new to repair work and issues like this so he was very thorough and walked me through the issue at hand. Would definitely use John's services again!

Yesterday a tenant from my rental property in Philadelphia called complaining about a clogged kitchen sink full of water that wouldn't drain.
It was very difficult to find someone to come soon on Memorial day and the ones who could priced this urgent job pretty high.
Plumbing n things didn't have lots of reviews but I decided to take my chances. Not only they gave me a great price and offered a camera inspection, but also came over on holiday and did it fast. Needless to say, they also did a great job with the issue.
Making decisions like this without being there is quite a challenge, but I am glad I was able to find this business. It's also a family-owned business and It is my choice to support small businesses.
Thank you, guys! Would definitely recommend Plumbings n things to anyone. Trustworthy people.

I am very unsatisfied. I had a heater installed by Goodman and I asked them to show me how to bleed the radiators. I was told to call them and they would come out to do it. When I called I was told that it would be $165.00 just to bleed the radiators. I didn't expect it to be free but that is ridiculous.

Rick answered my yelp message in about 10 minutes.  I called around 9am and he was at my house to fix the problem around noon.  Would definitely recommend for impeccable service.

After receiving a call from the water department about my $300 outstanding bill I knew it had to be from the toilet in our powder room. I had called a different local plumber from the yellow pages 2 weeks prior and never got a return call. So I tried again, this time via yelp and selected Miller Plumbing. They are local and had positive reviews. He was very responsive and fit me in that same day as he had another call in the neighborhood. He was on time, and diagnosed and solved the problem immediately and explained why, although the toilet is getting older, there was no need to replace it. He also took care of a local neighbor who called him when I told them he was visiting me that day. Miller Plumbing is now the only call I will make.

Had a backup last night and called late. They immediately called me the next morning and were out right away - really nice, very professional, and fixed the problem. Will call them again anytime I need a plumber!

I had a wonderful experience as a first time customer with Valdel. From the answering service on the weekend to the call back from Christine who was extremely sweet and caring to my situation (death in the family/attending funeral services out of state) working around my limited availability when scheduling my service call. Ariel was also nice. When my tech Steve arrived, he was professional, friendly and even sincere as he expressed his condolences for my loss. Steve quickly assessed what needed to be fixed and even explained everything to me before he did it and as he was working. Steve is a fine young man and was even kind enough to offer me a coupon for being a first time customer. Once the repair was made, another issued was discovered that we weren't expecting nor aware of. This latest issue will be very expensive to repair. Steve was able to talk to his manager about offering me a lower fee for my repair that day because it didn't entirely resolve all issues. Steve and Joe went above and beyond to work with me and come to a reasonable solution that was agreeable to all parties. I highly recommend Valdel Plumbing and it's staff and services.

Great service so far. Called them out tonight on emergency hot water heater flood. Came out within an hour and it was after 9:30pm. Keith was awesome and explained everything to me. They will be out first thing tomorrow to replace and get us back up and running. Thank you Keith.

OMG- they were a life saver!!! My master shower has been slowly clogging over the years but last night, it was totally clogged. I contacted Zip to Zip this morning and they were out in less than an hour!! And then he cleared it in 10 minutes and was so reasonably priced. I cannot say enough about this business. Thank you thank you!!

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!

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!

I was worried that my shower drain was stopped up and also that the drain in the laundry might be clogged because I washed my kid's stuffed animals and two opened up (letting stuffing and beads out). Mr. Rooter got right back to me, literally 10-20 min after I left a message and less than 90 minutes later the technician was at my door. Joe was great, ran tests--patiently, turns out everything was fine. Now, I don't know a thing about plumbing, so he could have told me both needed to be cleared and I would have believed it. Did not charge a dime for coming out either. I recommend without reservation and if needed, this is the company that I will be calling.

We were looking for help with our clogged kitchen sink, had tried everything on our end and needed a professional! Kevin communicated with us in a timely, organized way, showed up on time, and stayed until the problem was totally fixed. He needed various extra tools and parts as the problem was bigger than expected, but worked through it until he knew it was right. Waited extra 10 minutes just running the kitchen sink to be sure all was fixed, and checked in with us a couple days later. He was professional, courteous, and thorough! Pricing was fair. Would highly recommend.
