Best in Pittsburgh PA

I was not at the home during the service -- but this makes my review even more important to me. I learned about it all from my Aunt who was super impressed with Todd from First Call Plumbing. The sewer backed up to the point where we could not use our appliances and were apprehensive to flush the toilet. My Aunt's regular plumber was on vacation so we had to find someone new.  My Aunt was very skeptical about using someone new, but the smell was unbearable and she had no choice. Calling Todd same day, he was helpful, polite and ensured he fit us in, and on a Saturday, too. In addition to solving the problem, he assisted in clean up. He also did a review of other areas of the home. Pricing was generous -- they only charge OT on a Sunday! Thanks for a great experience, Todd!

Jerry did an amazing job. He answered my calls promptly was on time when he said he was gonna be there. He was there very neat nice work and very clean. I would definitely recommend.

We have used Scott Boyd plumbing ourselves and recommended them to my mother and our son for various jobs. Here's the first unique thing - they answer the phone!! Number 2 thing is this( wait for it) they actually show up when they say they will.. I know most of you will call bs on that, but it's 100% true!!  We have been stood up by various plumbers ( yeah you know who you are) so many times I still can't believe these guys show up!! And if they have the parts , they fix what needs fixed.  And what they charge is really reasonable. Nice people, decent prices,good work. And don't forget- they actually SHOW UP! So if you want a totally new experience- give these guys a call.

In my working career, I have lived in six states and eight cities and finding qualified professionals is always a gamble.  When I returned to Pittsburgh, I bought a dishwasher and was given the name of Rezzetano Plumbing for installation.  That was in 2002.  Frank has not only been my plumber but also the plumber for my mom and my sister.  Whenever a problem arises, Frank will let me know what part of town he is in.  If local, he will stop by to look at the problem.  Chances are, he will fix it while he is there.  If there's a parts or schedule conflict, you can always count on Frank to be there the next day.  He is a knowledgeable professional who is easy to talk with, is considerate of your home, and is willing to recommend a friend if he is out of town.  Frank donates his time as a plumber to help out Appalachian families with plumbing and water supply and sewage issues along with other trained professionals.
For me it will always be Frank that I call for help!

I have used pawlak plumbing over the past ten years. I have found them to be professional in thier work and clean.  When they finish a job there is little to no clean up.  I always look out knowing when they are to arrive.  Depending on the jon Ed the plumber comes which makes me very happy.  I have over the years had his co-workers come also.  they all were fantastic workers.  I have had great service, the quality was also great and the value was right.  I will continue to call Pawlak plumbing because I trust them

Needed a new hot water heater. Called & they came the next day!!   Friendly plumbers who did the work.
Professional & clean!!   Answered questions we had
& even played with our dogs!!
Definitely will use them again when the need arises!!

We had horrific water damage from our first floor powder room that flooded our first floor and then destroyed so much in our finished game room downstairs. We called the only plumber we knew but he was booked the entire day. We called our police department and the officer who responded  recommended Gerard and actually called the company for us. A tech named Danny appeared very quickly and got to work right away. He acknowledged that he saw that my husband is an amputee and I'm on a cane.  When he needed help, he contacted another tech and between the two of them, they got the water problem under control. Danny wanted to make sure we had water again and he accomplished that. I would surely recommend this company to our friends and we will call them again if any need arises.

Had a GREAT experience with Chuck. They had an immediate response, great personality, and extremely professional. I am in the contracting business for a different type of construction and it is a very rare quality to find someone that does all the above and still have very reasonable pricing. I highly recommend them. We originally called about a clogged sewer drain repair, now we will be using them for some home plumbing upgrades as well.
Update: We just had a bunch of work done and it looks great. Moved a sink and all the connections to open up a lot oslf space in the basement and improved the sewer drainage by a lot. We have phase 2 next week for a water softener, tankless water heater, and more. Couldn't be happier with Chuck.

Highly Recommend!!!  Replaced Water Heater, Regulator, Gas line and fixed shower replaced faucets.  Got the job done at the best price!!
Will definitely hire again!!!

BEWARE! THE ABSOLUTE WORST!!! DISHONEST, UNRELIABLE, RUDE AND UNPROFESSIONAL!!!

He no-showed after low bidding a sewer liner repair for me. His bid was approx $1,000-1,500 less than two other reputable plumbers. Unfortunately, the bank crediting me for the repair (in negotiating a home purchase), chose his bid-since it was by far the lowest.

He strung me along for months, promising to do the work, then eventually stopped returning my calls/texts. I had to scramble to find another plumber, and had to pay a reputable plumber hundreds of dollars (out of my own pocket!) to make up the difference from what the bank credited me and his low-ball offer. I almost received thousands of dollars in fines from the Township for not having the work completed on time.

At one point he showed up unannounced, 2 months later, when I wasn't even at home, pretending he was going to start the job-after I had already cancelled him and scheduled another plumber (I imagine in an attempt to protect himself from a lawsuit). He claimed he then broke his camera on rocks in my sewer while doing an inspection, so now he could not do the job! Rocks that weren't there weeks before, when the dye test was done, but mysteriously appeared when he showed up. He was rude to my neighbors when they asked who he was and what he was doing-then took off in a hurry leaving them to clean up the rocks everyone believes *he* planted there.

He claimed he didn't have a replacement camera (most plumbers have 12) and that it would take 2 weeks(!) for the camera to be repaired (past the deadline for the work to be completed without fines).  When I offered to wait the two weeks (just calling his bluff, not actually planning to use him at this point) he THEN claimed he didn't have the money to get the camera fixed- after he'd already told me it was in the shop being repaired!

He actually acted like he was doing me a favor by not charging me for the camera he supposedly broke on the rocks in my sewer.

I found out that he is considered a joke who does this all the time: low bids to get the job, over books and then cancels or no-shows last minute. Do yourself a favor and use Matt Mertz, who I highly recommend.

Professional and prompt service!  I was very happy with the technicians' knowledge and service.   All of my questions and concerns were addressed.  I will definitely call them again!

Adam our guy came out twice. Most definitely spent the time trying to find out the problem with our water pump. He spent 3 hours to figure out what 2 other plumbers and the city could not. We ended up needing a part so we had to order and he came back to install it. Came back at exact times he said. He knew what he was doing and looking at. We will definitely be using them again for all of our plumbing needs.

I scheduled the air conditioner yearly service to be done on monday morning 6 /26/23@ 08:00- 08:30 last week. Chris H. arrived at 08:26 and did a fine job checking the furnace and AC unit and checking on some prior repairs and recomended work that was suggested to be done  from an earlier check up. Thanks for keeping things running right.

Gave me a time from 1 to 4 PM. rang my doorbell which has a camera waited less than 30 seconds and left.  Had both my wife's phone number and mine and could've called but I guess the 30 sec wait was way too much for them.

People probably don't look to Yelp to choose plumbers, but if you do avoid these clowns.  Two weeks in a row skipped scheduled appointments.  Perhaps they don't need the work.  A call to the Better Business Bureau seems in order to report these losers.
