Best Sewer Services 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!

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.

I had a weird water problem happening in my laundry room/basement. Water was pouring out of the hole where my waterline goes. I had no idea what was happening. Ron Miller was recommended to me through HomeServe. He came out to see what the problem was, and immediately knew that it was my sewage pipe. Once everything was authorized by home serve which was for the very next day he put in as a emergent repair. He showed up at 8:30 AM, even took my plants out for me so that I could hopefully save them because they were where he had to dig. He let me know what was happening every step of the way. He is very knowledgeable in what he does, he is very kind. When he was finished with the repair, every thing was put back the way it was. You almost didn't even know that he was there! If I ever need a plumber, I will call him in a heartbeat.

Called and talked to the owner early in the week who told me that he would be at my house that coming Friday to look at the possibility of having some work done.  I re-arraigned my day to be there.  Some one called a 1/2 hr before the scheduled time to cancel.  They apologized and said someone would be out early the next week and that they would call.  No call....nobody came out. They would not return calls.  I finally tried to contact by e-mail and their response was that I should look elsewhere for a plumber. I guess I had the audacity to comment on the fact that no one returned my calls.  How foolish of me!  Just another, My time is more important than yours plumber.  Stay far away from these deadbeats.

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.

Have been calling Matt Brown for years. This time around I tried to be a DIY'r and I totally destroyed my bathroom plumbing. Matt Brown came on a days notice and fixed in an hour what took me weeks to botch. Very clean, professional, & polite. Will defiantly call again.

I was definitely disappointed with this company. My general contractor brought them to my house to replace two shut off values at my meter and install a pressure regulator. My contractor got a quote from them for $350. I thought the price was a little high but agreed to  have them do the job.

My contractor called me after the work was finished to let me know the pressure regulator wasn't needed so it wasn't installed but the bill came in at $451.00

The bill went up 30% from the original quote and they didn't install the regulator.

I was charged $319 for labor and $132.00 for parts.

So it was $451 for two shutoff values!

Looking at my security cameras they were here 2 hours.

I will never recommend this company to anyone.

Extremely disappointed!

Heard about Bruce from B& J plumbing from a trusted neighbor. So glad I followed up with her recommendation.

Bruce was wonderful to deal with, and was completely honest and very, very helpful. Was able to replace my garbage disposal and get it installed, and also was able to hook up with the copper waterline to my brand-new refrigerator when the delivery men from home depot said they didn't know how to do so. He did all that for under $200 and on my timeline. He's honest and trustworthy and does good work!

Would recommend him to anyone in the Elizabeth and surrounding area!

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!

I have had to call Frank three times in the recent months.  Two calls were for smaller problems and one was for a large problem, a broken pipe behind a wall.   Frank was able to fix all three problems in a very reasonable amount of time and at a very reasonable charge.  I recommend Frank to be called for any type of plumbing problem.   John B   Penn Hills

Michael was just out at my house to service my furnace. He could not have been nicer and more professional. I am not very savvy when it comes to furnaces but he answered a few questions I had. Could not recommend this company enough.

Very pricey, I will not be calling on them again,  OVER $200 for 10 minutes of service, unplugging a drain,???  Made a complaint to office with NO call back

Mr. Brown was very receptive to our call! This time he responded right away and Cameron was here within a few hours to fix our emergency. Cameron was excellent and knew exactly what he was doing. We will definitely use this service again! I am so glad we gave him a second chance!

Thanks!

Advertised as 24/7 so when I had a problem with two toilets not flushing on a Friday night, I called them at 12:30 AM.  The woman who answered sounded like I just woke her up.  I asked for someone to come out the next morning.  I'd give 5 stars for promptness.  When the guy looked over the problem he saw that the drain stack was leaking and would need to be completely replaced, along with needing a new toilet.  Knowing this diagnosis was (putting it gently)BS, I thanked him for his advice and said I'd think it over.  Then I called a real plumber who came the next day and correctly diagnosed a clog in the outside drain line.  He and his helper did the repair and all is well, without needing a new drain stack or a new toilet.  So, minus 4 stars for not properly diagnosing the problem and for trying to upsell an unneeded item.

Beware: this company is in cahoots with American Home Shield. If you have a warranty with AHS they tell you all you have to pay is $125. But that goes to AHS. When I called for my water heater they sent Nussbaumer who charged me an additional $731 for parts to hook up the tank!

Don't believe me, go to the BBB page for Nussbaumer, 80% of the complaints are about warranty work from AHS.

Nussbaumer is not BBB accredited!

They also banged the old tank into every step on the way up. We just painted them a month ago. They said there was nothing they could do!

Called this business 6 times to coordinate date/time for an estimate on a home improvement job. Was advised by secretary, ... expect a return call soon. No call every returned. On the 6th call (which was a shot-in-the-dark) I asked the secretary if (vendor) was too busy, at least return the courtesy and recommend another plumber for my project. Again, NO RETURN CALLS ... This may be a $1-$2.5 million per annum gross business, but, their concern for prospective clients is poor.

I felt strong armed into paying for the work they did, they never asked me specifically if I wanted to pay $1500 for a motor which I saw online for $1000. They just put it in and told me I had to pay, when I called the service manager to complain they took a message and I never heard back. The technician stayed in my house for 30 minutes, and I feel like I paid $500 for that half an hour. They fixed the furnace and all, I just felt like I got ripped off in the end.

STAY AWAY. THIS COMPANY IS A SCAM!!!!

This plumbing company is a complete Fraud. Had made a call out to them to access the situation and see if it's possible to find the cause of the blockage via camera work in my sewer line due to a clog. They send out a gentlemen whom without my consent doesn't give me a quote beforehand and then adds additional fees such as a locator fee of $500 that was never asked for on top of sticking a camera down for over $600!!!!! . In the end he tries to charge me over $1200. He then states he saw roots infiltration and that I need to get it digged up for another 8k just to spot check and potentially over 18k to fix the line. How can he even see roots when sewage is backed up????

I ask to speak to his manager after he demanded getting my credit card information over the phone. After getting his manager on the line, his manager waives the locator fee as he should (this was without my consent) but the ridiculous price for camera location which should be $150 max is absurd. After not resolving anything and leaving with my money, I spoke to some professional plummers to check out the same problem and they stated it's impossible to do camera and see anything. I requested for the video footage they claimed to have seen the roots the next day and they promised to send that over. It's been over a week and I haven't gotten anything.

This company is a complete FRAUD!!!  They charge ridiculous prices and have non experienced plummers handling there work whom tries to leach out as much money as they can. STAY AWAY!
