Best Heater Repair in Philadelphia PA

JB Plumbing is the most important phone number to have as a homeowner!  Mark will fix just about any leak

Won't be calling them again.  The work they do is good but the prices are insane!  Went I called and made the appointment. I told them what was wrong and what needed to be done.  They said $185 for snaking and $350 for hydrojetting.  When the work was done, I was charged $450... on top of that the tech said I can use a credit card for the payment and with taxes it was $463.50.  He never said there was a 3% charge ($13.50) for using a credit card.  I told him that I can pay by check to and I would have if I knew there was a charge for that!!  These guys are a scam... make sure you confirm and reconfirm the payment before an work is done.  Also, these guys don't have the proper tools... they had to go to home depot to get a snake... shouldn't a licensed plumbing company have a snake in their truck?  Never using them again!!!

Replying:
This is residential not commercial! It's a 1st floor of a duplex. So $265 for removing a toilet and putting it back... WOW!!!

Boss. Boss. Look no further. I want to echo a lot of what previous reviews were saying, but also wanted to detail my experience more in depth so you can gain a better understanding of how Boss Plumbing operates.

I will keep this as short as I can. Boss came out to install a double vanity. Not feeling satisfied by the slow drain they advocated identifying the clog by utilizing our warranty from another company. Where most plumbers would have left for the day, Warren wasn't comfortable unless the job was done right. The other company identified a corroded drain and were skeptical about replacing it.

So, I called Boss.

Without hesitation, Warren said he could handle it. This was a huge project. It required a gut. Now, these Roxborough homes require a lot of TLC and the existing concrete infrastructure made things a serious labor. No issue for Boss. They demoed the room and got to work right away.

Warren is an exceptional communicator and laid out expectations immediately. He gave fair pricing and also performed other laborious plumbing endeavors in my home free of charge, i.e., replacing a 60s era wall hung toilet which required specialty parts that were hard to come by. Additionally, he improved my water shut off valve by installing an easy to use mechanism.

In the interest of keeping things short, I want you to understand how important these things are to me and my family and I'm sure you want this same level of care. Warren is always looking out for your best interests. Really, it exists.

Warren checked in daily, made sure we were happy with progress and kept an open line of communication. His crew is professional, personable and easy to work with.

I can't say more about this company. I will be calling Boss for every plumbing/heating/remodel issue I may encounter. Stand up guys. Exceptional work. And an approach to business that is almost too good to be true. Warren almost feels like family at this point.

God bless this team.

I was so pleased with the service I got from Aqua Plumbing. I had called a different plumber to look at my kitchen faucet which was leaking a ton of water from the base - to the point where there was a huge puddle under the sink and on the floor. This first plumber took one look at it and told me that the whole faucet would need to be replaced...but this very same plumber had installed that faucet in my house about 7 months before.

I called Aqua for a second opinion, and after looking at it thoroughly he determined that a piece of the faucet needed to be tightened, which he did, and that fixed the problem! He didn't even charge me for the service. :)

I am giving John Snyder a 4/5 because I initially had a very frustrating and confusing miscommunication situation regarding the service/work order description and quote, and a last minute, day-of appointment cancelation by the tech. HOWEVER, John Snyder came out himself the next day and the following Monday and worked through all the confusion, took responsibility for his Tech and the resulting extra work/time. John overcame all obstacles and was professional, thorough, kept me in the loop, and was adamant about honoring the quote I was originally given, even though it would have cost way more. Overall, the work he did is fantastic and I felt he made up for the situation with his tech.

I imagine how challenging this line of work can be, and I understand that things do not always go as planned; so I appreciate all that John did to rectify the situation, his work is excellent, and I would use him again.

We had an issue with a clog, Kit came out had it taken care of within a half hour, cleaned up and was very courteous throughout. The job was more involved than expected but he was very professional and the price was very reasonable.

Highly recommended!  I needed a plumber to fix something I tried doing myself (water supply line for an ice maker) but I screwed it up and needed a pro.  In the meantime a bucket was catching the drips.

Earlier in the day I had a plumber come from one of the bigger companies whose trucks I have seen in our area for years, come give an estimate.  He took a look, said he had to go call the boss, then came back with an absurdly high estimate.

Using Yelp I found Rick Lucas plumbing locally and called.  Rick answered the call, said he could be there within 1-2 hours, would call first.  He called back as promised and arrived shortly thereafter.

Rick took a look at what was needed.  He also determined that some additional copper piping adjacent to what I messed up needed to be repaired as it was corroded, and verbally gave me a price.

Rick not only replaced all the necessary piping including the additional areas that he recommended, he also added the necessary fittings and connections and shutoff valve and flexible steel supply hose and completed the connection to our new refrigerator.  Rick worked non-stop, and is professional, courteous and friendly, and cleaned up afterwards.

Best of all his price was 33% less than the first place that came.  (Plus I returned the parts I previously bought to Home Depot and Lowes so saved even more).

I am very pleased that I had Rick Lucas Plumbing do this job at our home, and wouldn't hesitate to call him the next time I need a plumber.

I hope this review makes it to the recommended page instead of the not recommended page. It makes Yelp look dishonest when they hide good reviews as not recommended.  The not recommended reviews there look similar to the recommended page, positive.    I also hope Yelp puts this on the recommended list, so people can see more up to date reviews that are hidden.       BTW....I still love you and need you and recommend you Yelp, just would like to see more fair business practices by you.                              For my review......

I'm afraid if I tell everyone how great Miller Plumbing is, he will get too busy and I will have to wait a long time to get him back.  Mike Miller has so far, in our opinion, been professional, prompt when scheduled, there for you in an emergency, and his prices are competitive.  In addition, this guy knows about electric and plumbing, so if you need to install or remove  something involving water and electric (like my dishwasher), he knows how to shut off the water, disable the electric switch in the breaker box that goes to the appliance, AND he knows wiring as a result of so many years having to do both.  Many of the Home Depot /Lowes delivery guys don't know how to do installations, so they try their best, and often people end up with leaks and problems.  it is also a 3 hr job to take out and then install a new dishwasher.  Home Depot quoted me $70 for installation, which sounded low.  it was.  Mike says the whole job for him would be $285 including new valve, for three hours work, which is competitive.  Home Depot and Lowes tell you $70 for the install, then they arrive, and tell you that you don't have the right part needed to do the install, and that a plumber will have to come and cut a few pipes, and add a new cut off valve.  This is so the hard/dangerous job is done for them.  also, the delivery/install guys arrived at 8 a.m. And as they were leaving at 8:15, I heard one guy on the phone with the scheduler, complaining that he had twelve more deliveries, with a few of them being installs.  So, it appears they do the you don't have the right setup and parts thing to lessen their schedule.     Several people have reported this problem recently in our area.   Apparently this is to buy them time, especially since three hours will eat up their time.    So you end up paying a plumber, and then supposedly they come back another day to finish the $70 job.  I have heard that often, they never even come back, and service doesn't return calls for help to finish job.  We shall see....they are supposed to call tomorrow afternoon with the time to come back to install the next day after Mike has been here.  I am probably stupid letting them come back to save $100, but this month, I have to do it.  All the hassle with Home Depot and Lowes is not worth it.  Better to call Mike to do the whole job well and at a competitive price for a plumber who knows electric. He is also nice, courteous, and a perfectionist and we have used him successfully 4 times for very different problems.  Even my parents are thrilled with Miller Plumbing.  Great...now I've said too much....never could keep a good thing to myself.

UPDATE: 1 Month Later....changed my mind about letting Home Depot do the job.  Decided Mike was the guy, he came, did the whole thing in 3 hrs with his assistant, cleaned up totally and took away old dishwasher all for the price quoted.  I just didn't want to deal with plumbing problems down the line because I wanted to save a hundred bucks.  All is running well now, thanks to Mike!

Was very pleased with the professionalism, friendliness and price for the job well done.  Tim Cullen, the technician, treated my home and family respectfully and was a truly great representative of Vadel and it's trusted/guaranteed work!! Thanks again Tim, Renee and

I am so thankful for Bommer Plumbing & Drain Cleaning! I would definitely use them again! I would definitely recommend them!
Our sump pump broke and our basement flooded. I contacted Bommer after hours through yelp asking questions and getting quotes and they responded right back to me! They came the next next morning and installed our new sump pump. Jim was so helpful and knowledgeable! Thank you again Jim!

I contacted Zip To Zip for a quote for some plumbing issues I was having. Luan gave me a very reasonable estimate and he and Kapo came out the very next day. They obtained additional parts that were needed quickly and took care of everything for me. They took great care to keep everything neat and cleaned up after themselves. They are honest and easy to work with! I highly recommend them for any and all plumbing needs!

Prompt and professional.  Mark communicated frequently, was reasonable, and cleaned up leaving everything finished.

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.

Called yesterday and got everything I needed to get fixed in less than 24 hrs. Service professional, Joe McPhilemy was prompt and kind. He was very transparent and willing to answer all questions. He gave me a call when he was running late and I received all notifications about the appt via email and text. Overall service was amazing and quick. Thank you so much, Joe!

Our hot water heater busted late in the afternoon, so by the time I started asking around for quotes, it was after business hours. Kevin responded quickly (within an hour-ish?), gave me a quote right away, and answered all my questions. (and I had a lot of questions!) His quote was very reasonable---and, it stayed consistent. The price he quoted was the price I paid.

When I asked him to check on a warranty thing, he said he'd call the supplier in the morning, which he did. This might seem like a small thing, but he was the only one who responded to my late night message with, I'll verify this, instead of trying to hurry me into a decision.

This next part seems pretty basic? But I promise it's not. *He actually answered messages consistently, and showed up when he said he would.* OK??

He did a professional, quick installation, and again, answered all my questions when I had them. I hope we never have water heater or plumbing issues again... but if/when we do, we will call him.

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.

Would not recommend, dishonest!

I hired Goodman to service an alleged gas leak noted by PGW. After apparently testing my gas lines, Goodman reported multiple leaks and suggested replacing every pipe in my house. The next day I got a second opinion from another plumber and there were no leaks found. PGW came later that day and resumed service. There was never a leak at all, just a bad meter reading from PGW!

Goodman lied about there ever being a leak and tried to over charge me to redo the gas lines in my entire home. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!

I had a good experience with Best Choice Plumbing. I was very satisfied with the service. Jackie from customer service was amazing, she attended to me quickly and made sure my needs were attended ontime and made sure I was satisfied. The quote was reasonable. Vincent was who quoted my job. Rooters tried to quote me at double the pricing Best Choice Plumbing did. The crew came on time. Operated a good pace. Did exactly what they were suppose to. The only thing I didn't like was what was stated on the agreement: If you decide not to replace the lead galvanized line we will make every effort to secure the line during the excavation and replace the dirt after the repairs are made. However if the water service pipes leak, it is your responsibility for the cost of replacing the line.
