Best Drain Cleaning in Pittsburgh PA

We had an issue with our water pressure regulator which caused our water to shut off. We searched for plumbers in our area and found Brett. He was able to come out within 30 minutes which were so grateful. He promptly fixed our issue and the charge was reasonable.  Awesome, right?

Well, here is where things take a turn. Because we were so happy with his service, we asked if he could install a new shower faucet. He explained what was involved which was more work than we thought because he had to create an entry panel and shut off valves in addition to replacing the faucet. We called to schedule this and someone answered and said he would call back. After a few days, he didn't return the call so we called again. He asked us to take a picture of the model and serial number of the new faucet we bought so he could find an equivalent with his supplier. We provided him with that information immediately. We never heard back from Brett. It's been a couple of weeks now. I don't know if the job was too involved or he didn't want to do it, but if that's the case he could have said so. I was all ready to provide a great review because this helps other people make decisions. Unfortunately, the best I could do was a three stars.

Update: Mr. Miller took the time to call me and I was so surprised since no business has ever done that. I am very appreciative of that and it totally took away my frustration of my experience he was very nice and said he would refund me, I don't want refunded I just wanted a job done and not to be thought less than. He took the time to talk and explain and not make me feel taken advantage of, thank you.

Please be warned about hiring plumbers in the New Castle PA area, they are crooks. After having to pick one of these crooks (Ron Miller plumbing) I thought I picked someone honest. The quote was $160 an hour and then you pay by the half. The job was to snake the hole by the wash machine, he wasn't down there more that 5 minutes before he said it couldn't be done, I really didn't hear the machine. He was only on the job for 30 minutes and most of that time was spent going up and down the stairs and in an out the house for what I didn't know, he said he had to snake the main drain but that was impossible the floor was completely dry. And then the pitch came, they conveniently can't do the small job so the can force you into a way bigger more expensive job. What he didn't know was that my husband usual do this because we live in a wooded area and we have to keep our lines clear but because my husband couldn't get off work I wanted to do something nice for him and have it done. Not only did I have to pay the $160 for him doing nothing but he constantly kept trying to up sell me and I had to keep telling him to just leave my house. Sorry for the length of this but that's what these plumbers are doing, over charging then forcing other jobs on you that you didn't ask for. Please do your research and be adamant about what

Bob lead an amazing renovation of our home in Coraopolis and we couldn't be happier with the quality of his work, and also his commitment to making sure we were happy and comfortable in our new home. I am so thankful that he was there to lead this project and we are beyond excited to start our new life in this home. D

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!

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!!

They just replaced our water heater today. Good communication, stuck to their price, and were incredibly professional. They also unclogged a drain and replaced a valve, all within an hour.

These guys were fantastic. Very friendly, professional. We had a plumbing emergency, they responded very quickly to the call. Came out the next day and fixed the issue. The price was great, and the job was done really well.

The service here is impeccable.  Not only is the service fast and efficient but the friendliness  is what sets this business in a class of its own. Their response time was fast after leaving a message on their voice mail, which I would recommend over filling out an online form. Nothing beats picking up the phone. Matt's response from my call was quick, and diverted a service as promised. I will never refer any other plumber to anyone other than Brown's Plumbing. You won't regret it!

Jake showed up right in the window they said he would. He was very friendly and completed the work quickly as well as correctly! I am very happy I chose them for this. He was also really chill about the cat, I tried to trap him in the office with me, but he escaped and apparently chilled down in the kitchen with him. Any Plumbing needs in the future I will for sure be back here!

Naturally it was a Saturday morning when our upstairs toilet (one of only 2 in the house) clogged with a vengeance! No amount of plunging was helping. Plumbing problems are a sensitive issue at my house as we recently spent $20K on having a lining put in on the very long sewer pipe which goes from our house out to the municipal sewer. The clog was only on the upper floor as all on the main and basement floors was flowing smoothly. We had a different plumber out, paid $350 dollars for the call - all they could do was dirty up the bathroom and shrug their shoulders for 3 hours. Called Bales Plumbing on Monday morning. Michael came out early afternoon. We described the issue to him. He explored all avenues, upstairs, downstairs, all pipes. Within 30 minutes he discovered the source of the problem, resolved the clog and got everything moving again. Very impressed with this diligence, effectiveness and knowledge. He provided sensible tips for making sure we don't have this problem again. Fingers crossed! But if we do, I know exactly who I am going to call! Thank you Bales Plumbing!

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!

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.

called them to check our kitchen faucet which stopped working and check on a downstairs leak from the wash tub. Kitchen faucet needed replaced and they wanted $625 for a new one.. just the faucet. Said we had broken pipes under the concrete in the basement - the boss quoted $3200 over the phone. after an hour nothing was fixed and they charged $265 for a Diagnostic fee... Called another plumber, replaced my faucet I bought at Lowes for $129 and snaked the pipe in the basement and charged $125! Everything is fixed now

My home warranty company partners with them, but they only completed half the job they said they would complete. I still have to submit another claim and will request that my home warranty not send this company again. And wow now that I read the other reviews I see that I was scammed as well and told I had to pay extra for the job. Hopefully others will avoid such unethical tactics and incompetence.

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.

Stay AWAY from these guys!  I had a pipe burst on Friday with the intense cold, and as a result, water all over the place - had to turn off the water main.  My insurance agency recommended Restano and when I called they were closed/busy and I got sent to their answering service (on a Friday afternoon).  I must have called at least 4-5 times and while the answering service was extremely nice and assured me that a technician would contact me soon, nobody ever called back.  In my last message, I basically said that all I wanted to know was if I could expect someone to contact me before the end of the day and if they were too busy, to just let me know so that I could contact some other company.  NO RESPONSE.  Finally, 5 hours after my original call I gave up and contacted another company that I Googled up.  They responded right away, sent someone home and my pipes were fixed and I had water back in a couple of hours.  Meanwhile, it's now Sunday night and I STILL haven't heard back from Restano.  If I could give them zero stars I would...

I would never recommend using Mr. Rooter.  I called them to install a $280 dishwasher.  During my phone conversation with them, the scheduler could not provide me any type of price estimate because the plumber would need to diagnose.  I believed that to be fair and proceeded.  The area the dishwasher was being installed previously housed a dishwasher, so there was no additional or extensive work to do be done.  The plumber charged $440 dollars for this installation that did not take long nor was difficult.  His rational was that this was the book price for a dishwasher installation.  After following up with a manager at the office I was told that this charges was not a mistake, that their book price for a dishwasher installation was $440 dollars.  I believed this to be deceptive, as the scheduler should have been able to provide me with a book price estimate in advance of my appointment, noting that it was subject to change upon diagnosis.  The manager also confirmed that there were no other line item book pricing for a dishwasher installation, so in their entire pricing book there is only one dishwasher installation price.  The $440 was extremely high and while their business model does not appear to be illegal, it is purposefully deceptive. their The overall service attitude is quite polite and courteous, but also arrogant and aloof.  Avoid at all costs.

If you have money to flush away call them!!  Most unprofessional people ever!!  I recently had a water tank that was covered under warranty go on a Friday evening, on Monday Jeff came out and quoted me a price of $175.00 for a hull, he states he had to go to Monroeville to get.  The next day 3 men show up to install 1 water heater and tell me I owe $575.00.  I said Jeff said it would only cost 175.  That's when they said well we upgraded the tank and there is a charge for installation and we did extra work.  Which was never discussed with me.  When I spoke to Jeff that next day he agreed that they should have come talk to me, the homeowner, before doing anything extra and they would be reprimanded .  So I paid the money and was going to chalk it up as a bad experience until I get to work on Monday only to find that Jeff's mother had come into my office saying to the girls are you that girl that started all the trouble and how her son drove to Monroeville!!  WHO DOES THIS???????   Please don't use them unless like I said above you have money to throw away!!!!   VERY UNPROFESSIONAL COMPANY. And this was under warranty????
