Best Backflow Services in Pittsburgh PA

I needed a kitchen faucet replaced after chronic leaking and rusting. These folks were friendly, professional, and fast. They did a great job and the pricing was very reasonable. I will definitely call on them again if the need arises!

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!

Larry was great ! He fixed our broken pipe quickly and efficiently. He has been to our home a few times and every time we have had great service . Thank you !

Normally I don't write reviews, but I saw that Bob's rating on yelp was not representative of his work.  He just left here after replacing a bunch of pipes in my basement.  We are having a large electrical box installed.  All the pipes in the area needed moved.  Bob did a great job of doing the work and explaining what he was doing.  I would recommend him without issue.

I had a clogged toilet and very yucky stuff backing up in my tub as a result. They arrived earlier than expected and did great work. Mike & Mike are an amazing team and I couldn't have been happier with them and their work. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! I would use mark allen plumbing again in a heartbeat!

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 worked with Cuccaro on several remodeling projects in the last 2 years--roughing in kitchens/baths, moving gas lines, trim outs, etc. Never had an issue with the quality of their work or with their timelines. Prices were reasonable for the amount of work they completed. Their administrative side seems a little clumsy at times, but I don't think it's enough to warrant taking away a star.

I have an old house with several exterior drains that the gutters/downspouts feed into that have been clogged since I bought the place 5 years ago.  I contacted them as the plumbing company that I use increased their hourly rates, and I was looking for an alternative.  They came on time, and were pleasant.  Unfortunately, the pipes were apparently clogged for a very long time, and had rusted inside.  They were unable to clear ANY of the 7 drains, yet I was still charged almost $600 dollars for what was just under 2 hours of their time (I was at the property the entire time).  In addition, they said that they would email me an estimate for installing all new drainage pipes, and if I hired them to do that, they would subtract the $592.00 that they charged me.  I never received that estimate.  When I called them to schedule the appointment initially, the girl on the phone was disappointed to find out that I heard about them through AngiesList.  Now I think that I know why.  They do not charge by the hour, but instead, by the job.  I can accept that they were unable to do the job, but $600 for a job that was not successful, and for only 2 hours of work by one man is extrememly pricey to me, and the lack of follow up was unprofessional.  I will never use them again.

DO NOT Work With This Company

They show up late to appointments without telling you when they will arrive.  They call late in the day and then want to charge for showing up after dark when work can't be done.  Hidden charges they request even when work has not been done.  No professional behavior by plumbers or service office reps. Outrageous pricing!!

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!

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 completely concur with previous reviews about Mike (the owner) and his errors with recollection of events.  His recollections or lack there are are oddly convenient and self-serving.

McVay plumbing was recommended to me by our realtor.  She specifically indicated to ask for Mike (the owner) to come out and do the work which we did.  He came out to our potential new home to conduct a sewer scope test.  He was unable to complete the sewer scope test and because the sewer line needed to be cleaned he could only get about 68 ft. in to the main sewer line.  He recommended that we have it cleaned and rescoped.  I then asked him if he came out to finish the sewer scope test if he would charge us again or do it for free.  In front of my husband and the home inspector he indicated that he would come back and not charge us since he was not able to complete the test.  Before he left I confirmed this with him again and he agreed.  Recently we found out that the sellers of the home had the sewer line cleaned with a plumber of their choice.  We called Mike McVay to come back out to schedule the sewer scope test so that he could complete what he started.

Today, when my husband called to schedule him to come and complete the test he first argued with him regarding the specific house in question.  Apparently, he had a hard time remembering the house my husband was referring to.  After arguing with him about the house he then he informed my husband that he was going to charge us an additional $175 (he originally charged us $200 for the initial scope test) to come back out and finish out the sewer scope test.  My husband addressed that he told us that he would come back and finish the test and not charge us again.  He argued with him again and ultimately said that he would charge us the additional $175.  I called him to address this and when I did he refused to acknowledge it and argued with me saying that he would never say that he would come back out and do it for free.  After reminding him of his words which he stated in front of more than just myself he refused to take ownership and honor his statement.  I promptly cancelled the appointment with him.  I am so disappointed that he had the audacity to lie to me and my husband.  I would never had expected him to come out and do the job for free if he had not indicated that he would do so in the first place

Next time we will definitely be going with a different plumber, hopefully one that is honest and can recall his business more accurately.  Any recommendations of such a plumber are welcome!

Biggest lesson learned, get these things in writing!

UPDATE! Mike called back last night and said that he would honor his word and come back to re-scope the sewer line and not charge us! I was really happy to receive this call and news, both of which were completely unexpected.  I welcome him to come tomorrow to so that I can update all of you with positive news regarding his professionalism and commitment to his customers.

I called Mr. Ripoff for help and they were anything but. I was out of town  and they delt with my wife after $3500 had to get another plumber out to fix the problem. Warning to all that read NEVER call Mr. Rooter unless you like to throw money down the drain .

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
