Best Drain Cleaning in Boston MA
My mom passed away in October, her house being significantly bigger than mine I decided to sell my Billerica house and move to the tewksbury house my mom owned. In order to sell I had to replace the hot water heater, called a friend of a friends plumber and wasn't happy he left the old hot water heater on the back deck. It's still on the deck and the people buying my house now have to dispose of it. So fast forward 2 months, I noticed a leak in the tewksbury house basement, realized it was coming from the half bath toilet. Instead of calling the friend of a friend plumber I came on this website to find a new plumber. This is where I found Greg. He came today and replaced the toilet and took the old one. I noticed professional service, fair pricing, knowledgeable and ethical. Greg wanted to reconstruct the broke toilet to save me money, instead of just telling me to get a new toilet. He said he ensures to save money for the customer. I opted on my own to have a new toilet installed. I'm very happy with Greg's ethical business standard! I will be calling him for now on for all plumbing and heating needs. Actually before my mom died she said the house needs a new heat system. So I trust in hiring Greg for this next season!

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!

Wayne was great! I had a clogged kitchen pipe and he came the same day to fix the clog. Within minutes of walking in, he was able to identify the issue with my kitchen garbage disposal and the issue was resolved.Very relieved to have the issue fixed and would recommend anyone looking for a plumber!
Thank You!

Quick, easy, transparent, clean. Told me weekday and weekend rates to clear a clogged drain. Booked first thing on a Monday morning and cleared within 15 min. Patient with my questions as well. Will be using John's for all internal and external plumbing cleaning going forward.

New home owner here, had a small puddle in the basement which grew 2 days later. Texted my issue and Chris came within 35 minutes. Excellent service

Frank called me back the same day for a relatively small job, a disposal installation. He arrived on time the next day, and his pricing was simple and transparent. On arrival, he immediately had concerns: the cabinet was an awkward space with a low sink, and little room to maneuver. Frank explained the possible complications, and came up with a plan for arranging the plumbing. After a run to the local plumbing supply house for parts, he managed to get everything squeezed in perfectly. I would definitely call him again.

I called yesterday, Matt answered immediately. He made time to come to me that afternoon. He was so professional and straight forward. He resolved my tub drain issue within minutes. I highly recommend BD.

Always top customer service and reasonable prices. I have had Charlie come to our home on three different occasions over the past year and a half. The first two times was to fix problems created by another plumber. The last time was to install two faucet replacements and install a new garbage disposal. I have always been satisfied and would definitely recommend!

I have never in my life met a team so passionate at their job. We needed a water heater replaced in our house as well as some other areas issues looked at/fixed. Once we called Landmark we were completely taken care of. We were met at the house and provided options that ranged in prices (with no upset pressure), they educated us on current requirements for venting (3 duct to a now required 4 duct), as well as provided us some good insights into how the water system works in general. Clearly knowledgeable. The quote they provided was never exceeded and we were provided options when looking at water heaters. We chose the one we wanted and before you knew it the team was at the house, early on a beautiful Saturday morning ready and eager to get to work. The work was done beautifully. Not only did we have a new water heater installed (which looks darn good I must say), they installed the new venting ducts as well as shored up ALL the pipes in the basement (something they certainly did not need to do): insulated this one, clamped down that one, checked the water pressure here and removed excess pipes there. A dream team.

My Friend Ingrid had a clog pipe she called 2 other companies and they tried to trick her saying she need to change all of her plumbing. When she called Rapid Flow Mr. Elvis Dzuzdanovic was honest and professional fixing her problem in less then 15 minutes assuring her that the pipes didn't need changing. We recommend them 100% thank Elvis!!!

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.

Mike did all of our plumbing for a bathroom renovation, and all of the work to install a new heating system. I would highly recommend him.

When a pipe burst in our condo over the weekend and flooded the living room, we realized we didn't have the right kind of insurance and needed help to clean up and repair things on our own. Casper Plumbing was quick to respond and repair the burst pipe at a reasonable price. Would definitely hire again and recommend them to anyone in the area!

Matt from t-flow was super responsive at 9pm on a Thursday night, scheduling someone to come out the next morning to replace my water heater. I unfortunately cannot account for the work, because I had it replaced by a family member instead for free. But the responsiveness after hours was great!

Called them to help clear the main drain. The guy was rude on the phone. Woman in the background was dropping F-bombs every other word (how professional!).
I'm listening to:
He had the nerve to F-in say to me......
I F-in told him, Im not gonna......
Cuz if he thinks I'm gonna F-n take that he's got another thing coming...
I had to talk over this woman who is somewhere in their office.
I am renting the property that needs work and asked if they could bill me.
Not possible. I am not a customer, and they aren't currently taking new customers. Again, said rudely.
A polite, actually we need to collect when we do the work would have sufficed.
I asked if I could make an evening or weekend appointment. He snidely said if I wanted to pay the emergency rate I could.
NICE.
Attitude is everything, and in the end, I don't think they're really looking for new customers.
Stay away!

One of the very few plumbers that actually replied with quote in good time. Thank you!
51 Lancaster Ave, Revere, MA 02151
Very happy with these guys. The owner, Leo, was quick in getting back to me this fateful morning, when we found the basement flooded with raw sewage--on a Sunday, of course. Communication was excellent: he told me he'd have somebody to my house in 2-3 hours. When some other emergency called his technician away, Leo called back immediately to let me know but told me I'd be the next priority, and I was.
They're not the cheapest, but I decided to go with them because I was worried about the age of my sewer pipe (my house is over 100 years old), and Z Plumberz is one of the few companies that have the latest technology to deal with old, damaged pipes.
When looking for help, I had read a horror story told in a review on another local plumber who damaged a sewer pipe while snaking it. Their insurance company refused to pay. The bad plumber apparently hadn't used a camera to assess the condition of the pipe to ascertain whether it was already damaged. So sue me, he told the person, who had to spend $10K on repairs.
I shared my concerns about that with Leo at Z Plumberz, and he told me that they wouldn't snake without first using the camera to make sure the pipes were in good enough condition. What if they aren't? I asked him. He told me that his company has a way out of that problem: they use what's called trenchless sewer line repair, which is utterly awesome: it's a repair method that allows plumbers to repair your pipes underground, negating the need to dig out an entire trench. Absolutely do google that term - trenchless sewer pipe repair - if you have sewer pipe issues in an old house. Do be careful, though: one drain expert told us that a crooked plumber out of Saugus has been offering this type of service (it's pretty newfangled, and only about 3 plumbers in the area offer it, we were told) but was charging people the cost of photographing their pipes, claiming to show them images of clear pipes, but in actuality those were old photos of somebody else's pipes and hadn't done the work at all. He was convicted, we were told, but he's used 3 different business names, all based out of Saugus (sorry, legitimate Saugus plumbing/sewer pros!), so it wouldn't be surprising if he popped up again doing the same thing.
At any rate, my situation wasn't that dire. The problem wasn't with the pipe outside the house. Rather, My tenants or somebody else had flushed wipes - that horribly common cause of drain blockage. They got stuck in the drain trap, and the drain backed up. It was straightforward to fix, took an hour, and the cost was $290.
The technician who came - I think his name was Auden, perhaps - was equally professional as Leo, communicated really well, and was very informative. He did a lovely job cleaning up with his shop vac, though of course we had to get down there with a whole lot of bleach afterward, so that was our Sunday.
I'd highly recommend Z Plumberz. I would have also been happy with John's Sewer, I think. They sent somebody in a really timely manner to suss out the situation, and he was great. The only reason I chose Z Plumberz was because of their ability to do trenchless repair if needed: a technology that even the John's Sewer tech said was cutting edge and top-notch.

I definitely recommend Budge It Drains! I called on a Friday afternoon, and received a call back within 5 minutes. Mike was prompt, courteous, and efficient, and cleared our drain quickly. Price was reasonable, too!

Forgot to mention one detail.... regarding my last post of 3/21/17... I was able to get another plumber who easily replaced that old shut-off valve section (that was left with goop) without having to change the entire pipeline system! And he fixed the boiler situation! There are good people out there... you just have to look and compare.
