Plumbing Company Reviews Near You
STEVE LIPTON PLUMBING
He's very reasonable. He was a plumber foreman for a well established east bay plumbing company. He had never gotten around to getting his license because he didn't need it. He's one of those guys who gets stuff done and he's master plumber. He's just a single guy, but he does good work and he can explain to you what's going on, what you should and shouldn't do.

The Plumber
He was great. He was recommended to me by somebody else. He turned up right away and took care of my problem. He did exactly what he said he was going to do. He was very, very good. I had called several plumbers and was taking different estimates when a friend recommended James. He called me right away and set something up the next day. There was a problem with the equipment and he went out and got a different one and replaced it. And he actually gave us a better one for the same price, so he actually took a little bit of a loss on the water heater. I made him take it though.

- Linda S.
Discount Plumbing
They responded fast but they need a little bit more expertise. They actually put plumbers tape and plumbers pipe on a gas stove and you're not allowed to do that so it was leaking. I will use them again but with caution.

J AND B PLUMBING
I called this company to have them check our plumbing and to see if the other plumber that came out did his job or just robbed us. This plumber came out and I told him what had happened and he told my none of the bracing had been touched. The plumber did help me out as far I as I could see. I think he was more honest then the other plumber. I don't hold plumber's in high regard. I think that they are all scammers.

VRG Plumbing

George Salet Plumbing Inc
My tenant called on a Saturday to tell me water was streaming out of the building into the street. I called our regular plumber and he came and diagnosed the problem as one of our pipes rupturing but said he couldn't fix it until Monday. I didn't want to have water spewing out of my building until Monday so I went on Angie's list to find a plumber that would be willing to do the work on a Sunday. I was able to reach George Salet and they said they could do the work on Sunday. They sent a plumber over on Saturday to diagonse the problem before doing the work on Sunday. George Salet's plumber had a completely different conclusion. He said it was actually the neightbor's sewer pipe and not my problem at all. Of course this was good news. They saved me hundreds of dollars. My plumber was going to start digging up the sidewalk on Monday.

Bonney Plumbing, Heating, Air & Rooter Service
My complaint is that they are plumbers which means they use that blue glue and one of them got it on the flooring. There could have been better clean up which I told them about. They came 2 times in a pretty short period. I complained to one of the managing owners and they did do a better job the second time. As far as plumbers and prices go around here they are probably the best choice.
- Mary G.
Baswell Plumbing
All plumbers are pricey; they are about $120 an hour. We had a little problem with their quality of work. They do a good job on professionalism.

Why hire a plumber?
The services of plumbers come in handy for many different situations, from tasks as simple as a clogged drain to more complex projects such as piping a home. Some of the most common functions that plumbers undertake include:
Unclogging blocked drains
Blocked drains are perhaps the most common cause for plumbing services. Various drains within homes and businesses can become clogged due to food debris, oil and foreign objects going down the drain. A blocked drain can be an inconvenience, with the potential of causing kitchen sinks, bathrooms and showers to become unusable until the blockage is addressed. A hand snake or machine auger can typically resolve this issue.
Pipe repair and replacement
In some cases plumbers are called out due to a broken or damaged pipe. Corrosion is common if two types of metal pipes connect to each other that have different material, such as copper pipes connecting to galvanized steel pipes. This leads to small leaks that turn into larger issues.
Fixing blocked toilets
Another popular service offered by plumbers is the unclogging of toilets. It's pretty obvious why someone would want this fixed.
Fixing running toilets
More common is a toilet that won't stop trickling water. An constantly-flowing toilet can eventually result in further damage to pipes and the sewage system, along with a higher water bill.
New York plumbers are the highest paid in the United States.
