Best Water Heater Repair in Philadelphia PA

JB Plumbing is fast.  He came a few hours after I called him cause he was in the neighborhood already.  Friendly, and fixed my very, very clogged shower drain in about 5 minutes. The drain has not clogged since he fixed the issue (which was a rock of lime and calcium build up that was blocking the drain).  The service was a bit expensive for such a short, and seemingly simple procedure, but I guess that is to be expected.  I would use him again if needed.

The floor drain in my basement floor backed up and caused some flooding in my basement. Called Travas, left a message and he got back to me quickly and had Anthony at my house within 90 minutes. All this on a Sunday morning and on Father's Day!! Anthony was great was here for almost two hours and explained everything he was doing and was very thorough. The charge for his services were extremely reasonable and fair. They will be my plumbing go to from now on

So I had a massive emergency late night with water gushing out of my toilet supply line and not only would the valve behind the toilet not turn off nor would my main water shutoff valve.  The basement was already flooded so I proceeded to call several so-called emergency 24 hr plumbers either they would not answer or they claimed there was no one working in my service area.  At a last ditch attempt I called Boss plumbing and he answered right away, but unfortunately he said that he had just sent his emergency plumber out to a job.  I must have sounded so exasperated that he said I'll come myself.  Not only did he come exactly when he said he would he stayed in touch en route.  He turned the water off in 3 seconds and fixed the issue quickly.  Now don't get me wrong this wasn't cheap but money isn't an issue when you have gallons of water pouring into your finished basement the cost to fix that is exponentially higher if I couldn't find someone.  Secondly, the next day I texted him to ask for a receipt and once agin he got right back to me and said he would email it.  To sum it up Boss plumbing has A++ customer service and professionalism and that's hard to find in this type of industry.  Lastly, they also do what they advertise which is emergency plumbing whereas I'd called several that advertised open 24 hrs but didn't even bother to answer.  If you ever have an emergency or just any plumbing issue these are your guys!

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.

I'd give 10 stars if I could. The guys just finished. Respectful, knowledgeable and clean. With my sink out of commission during the holiday, John reached out within minutes of posting on Yelp. An hour from that these guys showed up. Not over priced at all. So happy to know there are true service providers that get the job done without killing you with an astronomical bill.  Super pleased and will keep them in speed dial (showing my age lol)  for this old house will probably need them again. Only bad thing now I have to resume cooking. Lol thank you for everything!

What a great experience.  I messaged him and he got back to me right away with a quote to fix a running toilet.  He came the next day, on a weekend, and fixed it right away.  He was so nice to my wife and I and updated us throughout.  Definitely will call him again when we need plumbing help.

Very knowledgeable and honest. It was clear he knew what he was doing right away. 2 other plumbers were not able to diagnose, it ended up not even being a plumbing issue! Also- very quick response time. If I ever have a plumbing need again, going straight to him.

Contacted Mike based on Yelp reviews and was more than happy with Miller Plumbing. Quick response. Quote from photos of job and same day service. Mike was professional, fairly priced and a n all around good guy. If you want a Master Plumber that will do a pro job for a fair price- Miller Plumbing. Next plumbing need only one number I am dialing.....

Right before the holidays, the pipe under my mom and dad's kitchen sink burst.  They called Valdel Plumbing after hours on Friday, December 20th. Since they could use the water from the bathroom faucet, it was not an emergency, and Steve was at their home early Monday morning.  He was friendly, patient and efficient, answering questions, diagnosing the problem, and preparing a quote. He got right to work, and efficiently completed the repairs so the kitchen sink was useable.  He found additional problems/potential problems and gave my parents the option to address it then or wait, and broke the pricing down for each option. My parents chose to get it all done then.  Steve said he would be back
on Thursday 12/26. He showed up when he said he would, and completed the job.  He was friendly both days even though the only access to their plumbing is a very old, very dark, cramped and low crawl-space that has to be accessed through a small panel in the side of the house. The fee was reasonable and my parents felt it was fair. I recommended Valdel to them after reading online reviews so I'm appreciative they were not gouged. Thank you, Steve!  Well done!

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.

Excellent service very courteous and very reasonable pricing, will definitely call them again if needed

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.

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.

My husband and I are recent Mr. Rooter customers our service technician was Scott McFarley This review is more for Scott than his company, Scott went over and beyond the duties he was sent to our home to  perform. Once Scott performed the request for which he came  evaluating and giving us an estimate for a sump pump which was reasonable compared to some of the other estimates that we'd received. Scott left our home and continued his investigation of our basement flooding problem. Through Scott's diligence and dedication to his job Scott found another solution to our water problem and saved my husband and I three thousand dollars!!!! Thank you Scott your are the MVP.

Kevin came out the same day for a difficult water heater project and was able to make it work.

Appreciate all the help! I would definitely recommend him to others and will be using him for future jobs.

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 will never understand the reputation these guys have. I've worked with them twice. Once for a water heater installation that was grossly overpriced. I needed it in a hurry so I didn't balk.

The next time I had them produce an estimate for some other fairly large jobs, fixing a broken pipe, putting in two water lines and  gas line. I waited a week. No estimate. Waited another week, still no estimate. Contacted the big boss, who promised to get an estimate from the person tasked with it. That was the last I heard from them.

The crowning touch on their amazing professionalism is that they're rude.

I have since found a capable, pleasant and reasonably priced plumber -- East Falls -- and funny story, they recently told me that the water heater connected by Goodman goes to the wrong meter. Cool.

Avoid these chiseling, rude jerks.

Sam came to look at my basement and was very helpful and explained the issues I was facing. So far my experience with them has been great.

Used them a few years back too when my pipes burst - another plumbing company lied and tried to rip me off, so then I called best choice and they came in, solved the problem, and everything was great.
