Best Emergency Services in Philadelphia PA

I've used JB Plumbing twice now and both times, Mark was extremely responsive, knowledgeable, kind, and quick. Most recently, I realized that my water heater was leaking. He got back to me within minutes of emailing and had me booked for the next morning, which was hugely reassuring due to the possibility of a gas leak if the pilot light went out. He took safety precautions seriously and, with the current global health crisis in mind, he was able to do the entire job with no direct physical contact, which was a huge relief for both me and his team.

The guys arrived with good vibes, and examined what I thought needed to be fixed.  They unclogged the tub drain, but discovered that the waterline to the fridge was not leaking, when they pulled it out and examined it, but they went beyond the call of duty and cleaned the horrible mess behind the fridge with bleach etc. (and explained that I had had a temporary water issue from condensation, the day I cleaned the interior of the fridge.)  Intention is so important for any human interactions.  The two gentlemen came to help and were completely fair with the price.

Had a main drain line clog. Caused me to not be able to use any water in the house.

Tried Roto rooter first and after two appointments cancelled because they were hours late with no eta we finally had to look elsewhere.

Called Boss Plumbing. Wish we did that first. William & DJ arrived very quickly and handled the issue in twenty minutes. Fair pricing for Philly. Everything working fine now. Highly recommend.

I've been using the same plumber for a number of years. I needed to make a change for several reasons, one being cost.  My regular plumber was getting to expensive. I thought there had to be other good plumbers out there that were more reasonable. I called Aqua plumbing and Billy answered right away. That was a plus right off the bat. Fortunately he was able to come the same day.
A few hours later he was at my door. I needed a whole new shower mechanism installed, as well as a new faucet on the bathroom sink.

He was very engaging, pleasant and more importantly, knowledgeable. His workers came the following week. They were just as pleasant and knowledgeable. They really made me feel at ease.
The job took a while because it's a small bathroom and very tight to work in. They were wonderful.
Took there time and made sure everything was done properly. The price was very reasonable. I was so happy I made the decision to try someone else.
I actually heard about them on Facebook. The reviews were great. So I gave them a try. So glad I did.
Thank you Billy, Vinny and Michael. There was one other guy but I can't remember his name.
I highly recommend them.

John is amazing!!  Our pipes backed up flooding our basement not allowing showers or the use of the bathrooms this happened after hours during the Covid19 situation.  We called multiple plumbers finally getting one and when they never showed up we called John he was out in 30 mins and fixed our issue, he came with all the PPE to make us comfortable, did his job quickly and proficiently I would highly recommended him to anyone.

Pleasant experience with this company it was a shower repair leaking faucet reasonable and fairly priced.

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.

A pipe broke on Thursday (Thanksgiving).  Friday morning I entered a Yelp request for a quote from Bommer plumbing.  (Yelp site now says response is typically within 9 hours, although at the time I'd thought it was 4 hours).  Nothing back on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday in spite of their 24 hour service claim.  Early Monday morning I receive a message saying technician can't evaluate from picture and will need to come onsite to quote.  If you accept quote, $87 charge will be waived.  I can understanding wanting more info, but how about a call or request for more detail first, before charging $87 for an estimate?

Compare this to JB Plumbing, where the owner responded within 10 minutes of my request, happened to live nearby and came over to check out the situation (no charge) and then gave me options since he didn't have needed part in hand.  One of the options was to wait and see what other plumbers responded.  If no one was available, let him know and he'd send one of his techs from Phila on Saturday.  Long story short - go with JB and skip the M-F, no holiday support Bommer.

Maybe it was just an off time or they aren't set up to respond to yelp quickly, but they should say so in their listing.

Initially had a booked appointment with another contractor thru Home Advisor/Angi but he never showed up. So I went to Yelp and started a frenzied search here because it was after 3pm on a Saturday and I really didn't want to have to wait until Monday to get a new hot water heater.

Several plumbers responded but Luan was not only one of the first but immediately offered a quote and immediate availability. I texted him my address and some photos. Luan and Kapo were at my house by 5pm new water heater in tow. Flawless process, reasonable price (1,200 for new unit, installation and removal of old unit) and I was able to pay through Venmo. Kapo actually pointed out some other pipes that will eventually need replacement and I would be more than happy to use them again.

The price given made no sense for the proposed work. He could have just said he didn't want the job instead of insulting me. Women and novices get a second quote.

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!

Finding a good plumber is stressful. These guys were awesome. The tech was very nice and went above and beyond. It was a smallish job and they responded quickly and did quality work. Highly recommended.

We just moved into a new house and got in touch with Kevin when our water usage was significantly higher than it should be. He fixed a major leak from the upstairs shower, and then surveyed the remainder of the house for potential sources of excess water use. Since he left, our water usage has returned to a reasonable level.  Kevin was friendly, professional, on time and efficient.  Would highly recommend!

Nic came out promptly to replace my shower diverters and some eroded pipes in the back. He was quick, professional and explained everything he did. I'll be using him for all my future plumbing/HVAC needs, and the best part is, he is a local small business owner.

I reached out to Yelp on Sunday.. Mark got in contact immediately. He come out the next day on time , and got the job done in an hour. Very professional and reliable, will definitely use him and he's highly recommended!

DrainPro Solutions was a great find for me, and, our home will continue to use their services for our plumbing and renovation needs. We worked with Manny who was extremely knowledgeable about all of our project ideas. We upgraded one entire full bathroom (full remodel: shower, vanity, floor, tub, toilet, and tiles) and minor upgrades to two half bathrooms. Manny was transparent throughout the entire process and even came shopping with us for parts at Home Depot/Lowes (telling us what to get and what overpriced items were not needed). His estimates are accurate and he always verified if additional labor or demo work was needed. He also crafted a solution for a unique bowl sink we had installed that wasn't fitted to our existing plumbing. Again his expertise is exemplary and I would highly recommend him and this company overall.

I could go on and on about how great these guys were.

We discovered a flooded basement in the afternoon on a Sunday.  I googled emergency plumber philadelphia and these were the only guys without negative reviews.  When I called, I got a receptionist who told me a plumber would call me.  5 minutes later I got a call from the plumber, who listened to my problem, said what he thought the issue might be, told me the cost to fix, and the difference to come out Sunday as opposed to during the week ($85).  I asked him if he thought I could wait, and he asked me a couple questions and then told me I could wait if I didn't want to spend the money, but just to try to not use my water.

He scheduled me an appointment for the next morning between 8 and 10.  I got a phone call at 7:55 saying he would be here in 45 minutes.  When he got here 45 min later, it turned out the issue was much more serious than was originally thought.  But he gave me a quote that I thought was reasonable (we had a 4 rusted hole in the back of our cast iron drain pipe that he said would cost $1400 because he needed to replace 3 feet of pipe), and when he was done the price was what he said.

The plumbers (Mo, and his son, Junior) had an incredible amoount of respect for our house.  They brought in a whole trail of work cloths to run from the front door to the basement, so they wouldn't mess up my carpet.  And they constantly kept me informed with what was going on.  While they were here, Goodman also sent some drain cleaners to take care of the pipe between the fix and the street.

After they were finished and I had already paid I mentioned another issue I had been having with my shower.  Even though they had been working for hours and were talking about getting lunch, they looked at my shower and told me exactly what the issue was.  They went to the plumbing supply store and worked through lunch to fix it for me and charged me a reasonable price (they had to go to the store, lengthen a pipe on the tub spout, replace the spout, and seal all the fixtures--$165).

Even through all the stress of this, I feel like we at least found a plumber we can trust and that we can call if we have trouble in the future.

These people damaged my custom door and left my house a mess! Don told me he would mop up after he removed the heater...didnt do it.  My back door and wall in my laundry room were gouged--he wasn't going to say anything; I just happened to see it. Don said 'well, it is what it is'.  We have been calling since the night they left (a week ago today)..nobody has contacted us about anything.  Completely ignored. What goes around comes around...when they need a miracle in their family...they will be ignored too.
