Best Backflow Services in Pittsburgh PA

Scott called this morning and was at my house in less than 1/2 hour. He looked at my Koehler Toilet and informed me these toilets are one piece toilets. Trouble is, with a one piece toilet, you have to change the whole toilet to fix the leak inside the toilet. He was very professional, friendly, and recommended several options. We spoke at length about what to do, and I have to say, I was not aware of the problem with Koehler. He made a recommendation to change to a Gerber Viper. While learning, I asked him if they're any charges and He said No!
I will be discussing this with my Wife, and we'll go from there. When we make our decision, we will call Scott again for installation.

Thanks Scott, I appreciate your time and candor!

Very happy with Express Plumbing. Its such a relief to find a professional that I can actually trust. (especially when he was dealing with me and not my husband) I was ripped off by a big name plumber who didn't even finish the job. I called Express Plumbing and the same day Steve came out and fixed the mess the other guys left. He was quick and very reasonable. I have since had him come back to install a hot water tank, as well as a new furnace and AC unit. I highly recommend!

I called Lakewood Mechanical after waking up to my furnace not working on a 30 degree morning. They had a repair person at my house within hours, diagnosed the problem and made the repair. Fast and friendly service!

Andy is so great! We really appreciate his kindness and professionalism. 10/10 would recommend!
We hope to have Andy for our yearly maintenance for years to come. Thank you!

We discovered a leak in one of our copper pipes late in the evening on a Friday night. I started looking for a plumber to come out ASAP -- Klug Plumbing was not only the only one to call me back the same night but also come out first thing the next day.

Bob assessed and repaired our pipe, while checking if anything else was affected by the issue. He expertly repaired it and had it working within an hour.

I appreciated his communication leading up to arrival and how he explained the issue he found. If we ever have more plumping needs Klug Plumbing will be our first call!

Mark Allen Plumbing was hired to replace the subfloor, our pedestal sink, our toilet and replace the ceramic tile in our bathroom. The project was supposed to take 2 days, took many more. I did not get to see the final project myself until about 6 weeks after the project was complete due to being hospitalized otherwise I would have complained. There is a hole in the floor where I can see into our basement. Our toilet clogs monthly. I'm almost certain I could have laid the tile myself 34 weeks pregnant with my triplets better than what was done by their tile guy. The tiles are uneven and the spacing is terrible. The grout is cracking, and no I have not used bleach on it. 10/10 do not recommend!

Called on a Saturday night around 6 pm. Had 2 inches of water coming up in both drains downstairs. They were there in about and hour and had the drain cleaned out in no time. Didn't try adding on any unnecessary work. Just snaked it, made sure it was good and was on his way.

We had done work with Greg Friedman in the past and were mostly satisfied so we asked him to install a garbage disposal as well as attend to a few other small jobs around the house while we were on vacation. We trusted him to be an honest guy. When we came back, the disposal was installed and looked good; but he still had 1 job to complete (installing a tile backsplash ). In the meantime, our air conditioning system had a malfunction; we called the workman and ended up paying $86 for the house call. It turns out that Greg had turned off the circuit breaker for our air conditioner when he was installing the garbage disposal and failed to turn it back on. Since we were out of town, there is no other explanation. It created the malfunction, so we asked him to credit us the amount. He agreed to split it with us, but at the end of the tile job he added another expense without discussing it with us (reinstalling the outlets and a switch that were upgraded due to the tile job) and failed to pay us anything toward the A/C mistake he had made. Also, he takes multiple cigarette breaks and smells very bad...like nicotine and stale tobacco smoke...when in your home. The smell lingers even after he leaves. Regrettably, I will no longer be doing business with him for these reasons and cannot recommend his company.

I've used Cuccaro about 4 times. In all cases they were prompt, efficient and reasonably priced. And everyone I've dealt with has been a pleasure to work with. They're a great outfit and I highly recommend them.

Can't say enough about this company.  First class all around.  I have a rental unit in Forest Hills.  Naturally, our furnace went out on the coldest day of the year this past winter... and I was on the other side of the country on vacation at the time.  Did a quick Google search to try to find a trustworthy company and I hit the jackpot with this one.  One phone call and the ball was rolling.  Service agent was at the house momentarily to assess the situation.  The manager was there not long after to confirm the need for a new unit (which we knew was inevitable and had expected about 5 years ago).  They filled the house with space heaters to keep the pipes from freezing.  Made phone calls to ask other regularly scheduled appointments if they could trade work dates to give us a higher priority given the situation.  The final price included the cost of the emergency assessment and was well below what I was expecting to pay for the unit.  Thankful to have them on board and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a service company.

Cleaned and serviced our Mitsubishi mini split units throughout our house. We just moved and I had never had them before and the technician was so patient and polite with his responses to all of my questions. He took his time and inspected our outdoor unit, cleaned the filters for all 4 indoor units, put them back, and cleaned the drain line for an insanely low price ($75-$99 if I remember correctly). I was very pleased with this service and glad I found them, because we did not know who installed the mini splits and most companies declined to work on them if they did not install them.

I called Bill Brown because the main toilet in my home was leaking into my kitchen.  My initial appointment was for a Wednesday around lunchtime.  I called him at 3:00 to confirm he was still planning to come that day.  I understand that plumbers get busy and jobs can become larger than they initially thought, however; I was provided no communication to confirm that the appointment was going to take place as scheduled - I had taken the day off of work for this appointment.  He said he was coming once he finished the job and would call and let me know when he was on his way.  He finally came at 5:30 (with no call), spent 15 minutes in my house, and couldn't fix the issue, so we scheduled an appointment for the next Friday, between 8-9 am.  I called him at 10:00 only to be advised that his truck had broken the day before and he wasn't sure if he could come out that day.  Again, I had taken a day off of work, and we are now 2 weeks without a working bathroom upstairs.  I was able to contact Roto-Rooter Friday morning and they sent someone that afternoon and he was able to fix the problem within 40 minutes.  

TL; DR - don't hire him.  Hire Roto-Rooter instead.  Same day appointment and fix.

Had Patton Electric upgrade the electric at a new rental property including adding some baseboard heaters in May 2021.  Initially we were pleased with the work and the professionalism but recently learned from our tenants that the baseboard heaters were not working and when we contacted Patton we were told that no work prior to the their recent merger with Tudi Mechanicals would be covered under a warranty even though their merger announcement stresses a seamless transition and continued focus on quality work and customer satisfaction. I have left Nick Patton a message twice sharing my concerns but have had no follow-up. This was a $10,000 plus job and very disappointing that their new company is off to such a poor start.  Definitely will not be using them on future jobs and would not recommend them.

I called Mike at the recommendation of one of my neighbors who had used his services a few years earlier, and a Monroeville Public Works employee.  We were getting occasional backups of clean water from the floor drain in our laundry room.  After the latest backup after a heavy rainstorm, a Monroeville Public Works employee checked out the nearby manholes and confirmed that all of their sewer lines were flowing properly.  He theorized that groundwater was getting into cracks in the terra cotta drain lines at a greater volume than the root-infested drains could handle, which was causing the line to back up into my basement.  He recommended that I call Mike to have him check it out, especially because of Mike's trenchless line replacement capabilities (I have a nice, mature pinoak in my front yard that I didn't want to damage by digging up the whole front yard).  

Mike came out and ran a camera through all of the underground lines in the house, and got as far out to the street as he could.  He didn't charge me for the camera work (another plumber that I called wanted $200 to scope out the lines before giving me an estimate).  I looked over his shoulder to see what the camera was showing, and he was really patient, explaining everything to me along the way.  I was surprised at how generous he was with his time.  It was clear that there were many cracks in our drains, and just as many roots.  In some cases the roots were so bad that he couldn't get the camera through them.  His estimate was $5200 to install a cleanout and vent next to my house (none of the houses in my early-1960s neighborhood have cleanouts), and replace the sewer line from the house to the street using his trenchless pipe lining system.  He said the pipes inside the house were cracked and had a few roots, but they weren't bad enough to warrant digging up the concrete to replace them.

It seemed like a good price, but it was still a lot of money, so I got a second estimate a few days later.  Their estimate was $8000-$9000 (they wouldn't commit to an exact price because they weren't sure exactly how far they had to go to connect to the main sewer line).  They also recommended replacing all of the underground pipes in my basement for another $6000.  I called Mike and booked the job with him.  I asked him if he was sure that the pipes in the basement were still OK.  He said that he could replace them if I wanted him to, but he didn't think it was worth the money.

We booked a date about a month out.  I called a few days before the date to make sure that we were still on, and he said that everything was OK.  Two days before the job all of the utility companies came out to mark their underground lines.  The day of the job Mike and his assistant showed up promptly and began working.  The pipe lining technology was pretty cool, and everything went quickly that day; several neighbors even hung around to watch the process of shooting the liner into the old pipe.  Once the epoxy-coated fabric liner was fed through the old pipe, a balloon-like device was fed through the pipe and inflated from an air tank and air compressor to help keep the pipe in shape while the epoxy/fabric mix cured.  Since the temperatures got fairly cool that evening, the compressor had to remain connected overnight to maintain pressure inside the pipe in case the epoxy was curing more slowly than usual.  Since the air compressor was a bit noisy, I just pulled it inside the house so that it wouldn't disturb the neighbors when it kicked on overnight (I was going to a hotel that night anyway, so I didn't care if the compressor ran inside the house).

On day 2, they showed up bright & early again, and wrapped up the job.  The job was inspected by the county inspector, they connected the cleanout and vent stacks, reconnected the new pipe to the interior lines, replaced the dirt, fixed the landscaping, and put down grass seed.  Mike ran the camera through the new pipe all the way out to the street, and I could see that the line was clean.  He took the camera inside the basement and ran it through the lines under the house again to show how the interior lines fed into their new liner.  Again, he was very generous with his time.  The trenchless system is some pretty cool technology, and Mike seems to enjoy showing it off.

When it was time to settle up the bill, Mike explained the costs from the original estimate, and pointed out that his measurements were off by about 10 feet, and they had to use more liner than they expected to connect to the main sewer line.   But, he said it wasn't going to affect the price, though.  When I offered to pay a bit extra to cover the cost of the materials, he politely refused, and said that it just happens sometimes.

Overall, I was very happy with his work.  There were plenty of opportunities for him to push more services on me and try to increase the scope of the job, but he never did it.  I'd recommend Mike and his services to anyone.

Called them for a leaky drain pipe in the kitchen of a rental and without touching anything gave me a quote of 900 dollars. I told them to forget it still charged me 89 dollars for the call. I grabbed a wrench got under the sink and fixed the leak in 10 minutes. They wanted to replace the garbage disposal but 900 dollars? These guys are scammers don't trust them!

TERRIBLE - ALL THE WAY AROUND. I would select a negative rating if that was a choice.
The drain in my backyard was flooding. I have 2 large dogs that bark when the wind blows. The technician said he knocked (lie #1) and that he sat outside on my steps for over an hour (who has time to do that???)
He snaked the drain and it got stuck. He tried with everything he had in him to pull it out. It took another good 30 minutes to free the snake.
That evening I proceeded to my basement, and much to my dismay....the sludge from the drain in the yard was suddenly in my basement with a hole in the wall.
I called back and was told that 2 technicians would be out before the end of the night to run a camera down the drain. The original tech came back and told me to wait until it dries to clean it up - WHAT?!?!? Needless to say..the other 2 never showed up either. The tech said he was off duty but was curious to see what happened.
Next day (now 3 days after initial incident) was Sunday, we were told that a SUPERVISOR was coming out by the end of the evening. Guess who came? NOBODY!
Monday - we were told that someone would call us (after 1pm) to tell us what time he would be there. They were at the door at 7:30am and my son had to leave for work, so tech could not stay - told us to call when someone would be home and he would be back. I called at 5:15pm and was told that someone was in route to my place. That is a complete contradiction to what I was told earlier, however I was close enough to home that I could get there quickly.
Waited till midnight. Not only did they not show, they didn't call either.
DO NOT EVER USE THIS COMPANY! I WILL LEAVE A NEGATIVE REVIEW ON THEM ANYTIME I CAN - it is UNACCEPTABLE and UNPROFESSIONAL
