Best Backflow Services in Boston MA

My diverter/volume spindle was broken for 3 days and I could not utilize my shower/bath tub. I do not know about but I like to keep my hygiene in tact. It is the day after Thanksgiving so I assumed that it would be a headache finding a plumber. I called the first plumber that I researched, Dynamic Plumbing & Heating. They answered the phone, thank goodness. I explained the problem and he gave me a price quote. The plumbers arrived in 35 minutes Ashe stated on the phone. They were professional, worked in a timely manner and were very customer service oriented. I am a satisfied customer. If you need a plumber, I highly recommend Dynamic Plumbing & Heating.

I called Consolidated with an urgent problem.  Something had broke in the basement and everything was flooded.  I shut down the water main, and called, hoping someone would come that same day.  Within a couple of hours, Mike showed up, diagnosed the problem as a split washing machine hose, replaced it, installed a couple of shutoff valves to help me in the future, and was on his way within an hour.

To say that I was pleased would be an understatement.  This is the kind of plumbing service I've always hoped I'd find.  I'm so happy I finally have!

I moved into a new apartment 3 months ago and the bathroom desperately needed an overhaul. After reaching out to a few friends for a plumbing recommendation I was pointed towards Collins Mechanical. Andrew came out to my house, quoted me a new toilet, stand up shower, bath tub and sink. His prices were reasonable, and after I gave him the go ahead work started immediately. He was very agreeable with some changes  I had mid project and accommodated alll my requests. I am thrilled wIth the results, and his work speaks for itself..

We had an ongoing leak from our second floor bathroom through the ceiling on the first floor.  I appreciated that Welter communicated about what he would do to diagnose the problem, to appropriately set the expectations of the work.  During the process, at each turn he would take the time to explain what he had done, what he had found and what he recommended for a resolution.  I was very happy with the work he did and for the recommendations he provided.  While I certainly do not want any plumbing problems in the future, I would look to hire Welter, again, to get them resolved.

Mike Richard has done outstanding work at our home over the past 8 years. He works so efficiently he actually jogs to his truck and back to get any needed supplies. Mike is always timely and communicates about any issues that he finds, offering various solutions. Most recently, he put me in touch with other contractors that have also done superb work.

Excellent service. Pat showed up and came in with a reasonable estimate, he was prepared to repair broken pipes leading to the shower and install new valves, balls joints and outdoor shower  fixtures, job was competed in two hours. I would highly recommend his services.

Renato is great,he was prompt and communicated throughout the project of replacing part of our cast iron pipe and installed a new toilet,thank you Dano who did the labor and cleaned up after the work was done,very efficient!!  I highly recommend Bushi plumbing !!!

Very satisfied with Z Plumberz. They are professional, response quickly (plumbers show up within hours), and communicate effectively. Everyone I have spoken to (the sales coordinator, the manager, and the plumbers) are all very thorough with the process. The rate is also pretty standard by Boston standard. I would highly recommend this company.

Bill did an exemplary job. He is extremely responsive, knowledgable, and a pleasure to work with. His customer service is second to none. He took excellent care of our furnace and addressed all of our concerns. I look forward to hiring him again in the future.

Though you may receive good service, you will pay through the roof, and then if you seek feedback on why the cost is so high, the owner will yell at you and berate you.  

The service provided by Andrew Fodera, the plumber who provided my service was great. He was on time, respectful, answered questions and very helpful. However, you will pay through the roof for the service.  Andrew came to my home twice for no more than an hour each time to assist with a leaky kitchen faucet and continuously running toilet.  I was informed I needed to replace the kitchen faucet and he adjusted the chain in the tank and tightened some bolts.  Andrew returned to install a new kitchen faucet that I had already purchase.  The total for the two visits $791.96.

Feeling this was very high for two hours of work, I contacted Ron Pescatore to inquire about the bill and understand the charges. Only to have him yell at me on the phone and ask me repeatedly what I thought his time is worth.  I indicated that I expected to pay a reasonable hourly rate, but am very surprised at 2 hours of time for the work provided totaled nearly $400 an hour.  He continued to yell over the phone about the cost of his trucks and time to drive to my home stating more than an hour to drive each way.

Be advised, you are paying for labor, owners time to coordinate, drive time and god knows what else.  I take responsibility for not getting a cost estimate prior, I have learned my lesson.

I will pay my bill, but I would recommend that no one hire this company, given the high prices and the treatment you may receive from the owner if you reach out to better understand the cost.  Just know that with this company, you will pay through the roof for basic plumbing needs.

Irvin came as an emergency on call service for us. We had some questions and not only did he answer them, but he also took the time to fully explain how it all worked which gave us a peace of mind! He also explained it nicely in layman's terms! He met our expectations throughly and professionally. Truly appreciate his knowledge and service tonight; thanks again man 10/10 would request him again if it were possible!

Great service, great response but super expensive.  $300 for about 20 minutes of work to clear a drain.

Mike was very responsive and professional. He did a great job fixing multiple broken pipes, even in a tough spot under a short deck.  He wore a mask and finished the job efficiently.
I highly recommend him.

You know all those horror stories you hear about plumbers who over-charge, or leave a mess, or do sloppy work? Forget all that, and hire Chase.  

The main case-iron waste pipe in my basement developed cracks in two places. Luckily the cracks were on top of the pipes so they weren't leaking yet.  I decided to have essentially all the cast-iron pipe replaced with PVC - about 30 feet in total. This was the thick, heavy, 5 iron pipe.  Not a small job.

Chase came and did a no-cost estimate.  I'd used them before for some small jobs so I trusted them and decided to have them bill me for time and materials instead of a fixed price.  They arrived on time, got right to work, and finished the job in 3 hours flat, including clean-up and testing all the new plumbing. The new plumbing is neat, clean and, well, perfect. And their price for the materials (all the new PVC pipe and fittings) was incredibly reasonable. I don't think I could have bought it for less on my own!  They cleaned up the basement thoroughly - sweeping and vacuuming.

As a homeowner, it gives me peace of mind to know that I can call Chase and know that they will do excellent work for a fair price.

Had a new oil furnace installed, and for some reason, despite the new unit being  about half the size of the old one, the installers decided to leave all of the old piping in place and just sweat new fittings onto the ends and route them over to the new unit, leaving a bit of a weird tangle of pipes in place.

I could live with most of the mess, but one pipe in particular stuck way out into the room in front of the unit by about 18, from the ceiling and down for about 3' before being routed back to the unit again.

This made it a hazard, as well as an eyesore, and I wanted it corrected, but when I mentioned it to the installers when I inspected the job at the end of the day, they just started giving me a hard time and making all kinds of excuses.

Basically, they were tired at the end of a long day, and didn't want to do anything else, and in their thinking the job was done, the unit was functional, and they weren't going to do anything else. So, it was up to me to get it straightened out.

I was tired of arguing, and figured It was really a very simple job. Less than an hours work, and very little material, so how much could it cost, right?

2 cuts in a pipe to shorten it by about 2', put an elbow on it, then sweat 2 new pipes about 2' long in place, one more elbow and and one fitting. Done.

So, basically, whatever anyone's rate is for 1 hour of time, and the cost of 4 feet of 1 copper pipe (or just reuse the old pipe), 2  elbows, and one fitting...

That's all the job is.

All I'm trying to do is to move one very badly placed and routed pipe to be directly in line with the fitting it goes to. Very simple job.

Obviously, someone misunderstood what I was looking to have done (or so I initially thought), because the quote I got from David Calzini was an unbelievable $1,200...! to shorten a pipe by about 2'...

I don't know of anyone who can afford a guy who thinks he can justify $1,200 for an hours worth of work, and about $10 in materials.

There are lots of reputable, established, high-quality plumbers out there, and no one else bid more than $400 for this job, with a couple saying they could probably do it for about half that...

My advice: Avoid this  guy.

My garbage disposal got clogged: the machine was working but the content of the disposal, ground, did not move through.  I disconnected the plumbing coming off the disposal and found that water that I inserted from above would came out easily.  Therefore, I thought there must have been a clogged pipe downstream, which was unaccessible to me.  I called MACCO and described what I just wrote here; they gave me an appointment for ONE WEEK later.  They also told  me that I would have to pay $ 320 minimum, regardless of how short or long the job was going to be.  When the plumber came he spent a good amount of time doing the same thing that I had done, and told me that he could not fix the problem and I needed a drain guy.  He even called his dispatcher (same person I had talked to, who confirmed that they do not do that type of work.  
I then called their office and said that I did not feel fair to charge me because they should have said right away that they could not do the job. The person on the phone just continued to repeat that I had accepted in advance to pay and that I had not told him that there was a clogged drain, which ridiculous because I knew that it was not a leak and that I had told him that I thought there was probably some obstruction downstream.  I even offered to meet in between with the charge because I understood the man who came had spent some work time, but there was no chance.  Eventually I paid.
I later called a drain company, they came the next day and in 15 minutes they got the job done, for $ 149.
I clearly will not use MACCO again and I would never recommend them to anyone, and I told them the same.

I moved into town four months ago and did not know of a local plumber to install a whole house water filter. When I called a plumber that I knew from the past, the quote seemed extremely high. The first plumber found Ron's(Bolivar) name on the hot water tank.  Ron installed it nine years ago, clean work and no leaks. Not only did Ron call me back in less than two hours at the end of the day, his quote over the phone was $400 less than the one I had.  Ron had availability within a few business days and three guys showed up five minutes early. What I thought was going to be a five hour job was done in a little over an hour. Fantastic service and I highly recommend them!

Lifesaver! Our older Lochinvar boiler was intermittently failing. Would run fine for days then keep needing to be reset. Contacted a bigger plumbing contractor (begins w/ Cr) a few weeks ago because we were desperate to find anyone to come who we hadn't dealt with in the past. They came and did a service on the boiler, which of course was running fine at that time, but then proceeded to go off again 2 days later. They did come back, but at that time it was running fine again (at least they didn't charge us for that visit). So the week before this record cold it really starts cutting out, so I called Lochinvar and their service branch gave me a few local names. By chance I called Russo first and they said they could be here the day after. Woke up to house @ 52 degrees that morning.
  Anthony showed up and assured me he would get it fixed, and proceeded to go through with me all the possible issues before replacing the fan unit that was most likely culprit. Couldn't have asked for a more professional and knowledgeable technician. Our only regret was that we hadn't found them earlier. What an immense relief to not have to worry about losing heat on the coldest day of the year!

I contacted this company after my kitchen sink got clogged and I was unable to fix it myself. They got back to me first thing Monday morning (9/17) and were able to set up an appointment with me on Wednesday (9/19). I was kind of bummed that I was going to have to wait 3 more days of not having a functioning sink or dishwasher but I figured it was fine because this company seemed professional and trustworthy. On Wednesday morning a tech showed up at my house and told me that he brought a snake for the pipe and seemed fairly confident that it would fix the issue. I later left for class and left my card on the counter for the technician. About 20 minutes later he calls me and informs me that it did not work and that he was still going to have to charge my card ($410!!) I'm sorry but in what world do you get to not do the one job you had, and then still pay yourself and leave?! Upon further questioning we were told that we're plumbers, not drain cleaners.
Why would you accept a job that you know you probably can't do and then charge a customer when you can't to the job? Very unethical business practices. I was then told to contact Boston Drain who told me their starting price of $225. We are now talking $635 TO CLEAN A DRAIN. For that price I can do to Home Depot and buy the commercial equipment and do it myself for cheaper!!! Absolutely insane.
I ended up calling Rotor Rooter and they came out immediately and fixed the problem within 20 minutes for a fraction of the cost.

IN SHORT this company took $350 from me (I ended up getting a $60 discount *whoop de doo*) for a job that was never finished. On top of that, the technician left my front door unlocked and a puddle of water on my wood floors for hours. Like come on, super simple stuff- especially when you're getting paid $350 for less than an hour of work. Never in my life have I felt so played by a company.
