Tommy from plumbing pals did an amazing job! Got everything fixed quick and easy. Beyond thrilled with the work!
I had a great experience with Plumbing Pals (PP) today. My shower drain needed to be snaked so after a bit of Googling, I came across PP. I scheduled service and a technician came out the next day. They evaluated the issue, gave me an estimate, and once I approved it, got to work. Now my drain is clear. Highly…
Showed up right on time...very professional and courteous. ABSOLUTELY recommend them to everyone
The company was prompt, and they showed and explained everything. Allan, the plumber, was especially knowledgeable and made me feel that he knew what he was doing. Very satisfied with the company.
The communication and response time was terrific. I was able to get a resonable quote and have the repair done in a timely manner! Thanking Tommy and Plumbing Pals!!
Travis and his staff are the best. Very professional, knowledgeable, and easy to deal with.
Great speedy and thorough service
Plumbing Pals did a great job cleaning sewer lines, installing new toilets and vanities. I highly recommend them.
Excellent service.
Our technician was dismissive and refused to explain what was going on or what the problem was with our shower. He left our bathroom a mess and also slammed the door on our way out which caused something to fall and break which he didn’t bother to pick up. We also got out drain snaked by him only a few months ago…
Tommy and his partner were timely, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. My issue was resolved quickly and at an extremely reasonable price.
Steve was here quickly and solved an emergency problem that I was having with a bathtub drain. He was very nice and I appreciated his helpful personality.
Plumbing Pals has always provided me with prompt and excellent service. They have always been dependable and trustworthy. All staff involved on projects in my house are very hard working and reliable. The owners, Ricky and Travis, are hands on and care about customer service.
These guys were awesome and very respectful and patient in addition to solving my issues. I will be calling them again.
quick to respond and took care of the issue right away. Thank you
Great service. Knew exactly how to handle the problem. I give plumbing pals 5 stars all across the board
Clogged kitchen drain on Sunday, called and was given a 8-10am window on Monday. Leroy arrived on time, took a few tries, coming back in with bigger snakes (augur?), until drain was clear. Even then, there was a gurgle noise at the end on drain clearing, so he came back to run the snake one more time to clear that…
Don't ever call them for ur drain open. They try to charge me $350 for the main drain open and other only $220. So I said no I don't need u service, I call the other plumber.
The young man was very nice Did a great job I would use him Again I would highly recommend To others.
Highly recommend plumbing pals. Resolved a dire issue in our new rental. Important thing was how communicative they were. We understood what was going on right away. Timely and effective. Went above and beyond helping remove some water damaged items from our basement. Kudos to Leroy and Gavin for all the help. Once again, highly recommend!
Leroy was very efficient professional and courteous. After showing him and describing the problem. He gave me a detailed description what was going to be done to solve the problem. I am very pleased and satisfied with the end results. I definitely recommend your company to anyone with plumbing problems. From the…
Service is fantastic! Would recommend fully. Thank you Alan.
I've been going to Plumbing Pals for various plumbing issues for at least the last 5 or 6 years, and I won't call anyone else. They respond extremely quickly (even faster if there's an emergency), the work is quality, and the pricing is fair – they always propose what actually needs to be done, and won't upsell you.…
Allen came on time, was very professional, knowledgeable and handled the problem. He wore covers over his shoes for cleanliness as well. From our interaction with Allen I would recommend him/company and would not hesitate to first call Economy Drain Cleaning & Plumbing for future plumbing needs.
Tommy was super quick, transparent and knowledgeable when called out for a main water line blockage. Had us cleared out within a few minutes and explained best practices and what to monitor in our system going forward. Highly recommended!
I had a great experience with Plumbing Pals. From start to finish, their communication was excellent—they even called to keep me updated when the technician was running a bit late, which I really appreciated. The technician was professional, efficient, and quickly resolved the issue. Overall, I’m very satisfied with…
I recently had two services done by Plumbing Pals hydro water jet cleaning on my main sewer line and a kitchen faucet installation. Alan and Tommy were outstanding from start to finish. They were professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to answer every question I had without making me feel rushed. The work…
We’ve had an opportunity to work with several employees and teams for plumbing repairs and drain issues. John and Jared recently came out and did a complicated shower trim kit update in a shower installed in the 1940s in our 1890s row house breaking only the minimally necessary tile. They also had to do the…
Extremely responsive -- contacted them in evening and they arrived early the next morning. Effectively solved problem. LeRoy was very thorough, knowledgeable and professional.
Had a sink that wouldn't drain even after I tried everything, and they came out and fixed it pretty quickly. Great and quick service, and I loved that I can book online.
Quick response. Kept up to date on arrival. Explained the issue well; fixed it quickly. Tommy was polite and knowledgeable. Went the extra mile.
Excellent Service! Pleasant Technicians
Mike G came to my house and did an excellent and quick job. He also took some time out to explain to me what was going on with my drainage which I appreciated
Great job. Fast service. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Leroy and Gavin did a great job. Very professional. Definitely would recommend to anyone
Plumbing pals have amazing expertise. Very responsive, show up on time and clean up after themselves.
Drain stopped back up after two weeks,horrible service
We’ve worked with Plumbing Pals a couple of times now and they’ve helpful, honest, and incredibly easy to work with. When our exterior water pipe to the hose started leaking, they came out immediately and fixed it. We had an issue with our back storm drain not draining. Tommy came out and was extremely thorough. He…
I hired Plumbing Pals to inspect a shower drain at my rental property. They arrived on time and, after checking things out, recommended clearing the drain with a snake. They pulled out some debris, so hopefully the issue is now resolved. They also took the time to check a couple of other items while on-site, which I…
I had a clogged kitchen drain and Leroy was able to snake my drain and fix my problem quickly. I very satisfied with the overall experience and would definitely recommend them
I had to call a plumber for a clog in my tub and I couldn't have chosen a better plumber. The job was completed in a timely and professional manner.I am satisfied with the job the plumbers did with my drain.
Great service on a garden drain problem that was not able to be fixed by a different plumber. Tommy Knew EXACTLY what he was doing and had the right equipment and fixed the problem within one hour. Tommy was courteous and respectful of my wife and me and of our property. I guarantee that our neighbors will use Plumbing Pals now.
I have used this company many times for a rental management company and my personal house. They are reliable, efficient and knowledgeable. They are great in explaining what causes drain backups and how to avoid in the future.
I am a property manager and always use Plumbing Pals they do very good work, are very fairly priced and are reliable, what more can you ask for
The plumbers were very professional and found the problem and fixed it quickly.
Plumber was extremely polite - was very diligent with making sure my kitchen sink was functioning optimally before he left - was at my house for several hours. - kind of service you can trust .
I'm very happy with Economy Pluming. They came right out and addressed the issue that I had with a hot water heater. Tim provided great service.
Scheduling is same or next day, they are always on time and professional at a fair price!
Resolved an ongoing problem. Suggested future actions to prevent future problems.
Economy Drain did an excellent job. Highly recommend them
Hands down the best plumbing service I have ever used. ALWAYS on time and never any hidden issues when it comes to pricing. If you are looking for a plumber, economy should be your choice.
Highly Recommended!!! Friendly, fast, professional, and flexible where possible. They were not able to clear the line on the 1st visit, but deducted the cost against the final bill for replacing a section of collapsed outside pipe. They have a real human receptionist, Karissa, who is a pleasure to deal with, and…
Let me start by saying, Economy Drain Cleaning & Plumbing is extremely professional, customer focused, well equipped and highly recommended. My business had a major sewer backup with sewer contents coming out of a floor drain. After several failed attempts at trying to clear the clog myself with a drain snake, I…
I called Economy and they came out the next day. They gave me a 2 hr. window and immediately followed up my call w/ a confirmation text and email and even showed up early. The tech, Tommy, was very helpful and professional. Economy was very responsive and professional, and I would definitely use them again.
Hydrojetted main drain. No issues with drain since. Nice job.
Travis, Ricky and the rest of the Economy Plumbing team are very responsive and knowledgeable. They go above and beyond to find and fix any plumbing problem. I use them for all of my plumbing needs - big and small.
Economy is super fantastic in every way! Extremely knowledgeable, professional, creative, and dedicated to solving the challenges at hand and delivering high quality solutions!
They were magnificent. Great work, great quality and very professional. Arrive early and made sure everything was working smooth before departing. Great Staff. Definitely highly recommended.
Liable and dependable company and always solve my problem.
My experience with Economy Drain Cleaning & Plumbing was delightful. They repaired my plumbing clog by excavating through my basement floor and installed an access system to prevent future blocking.I would not hesitate to recommend this Company for any plumbing repairs.
Came early. Figured out the issues. Explained it as they went along. Kept things clean. Didn’t waste time.
The team arrived on time and quickly handled replacing our hot water heater and handled a few other items. The work was exceptional, the team was professional and nice, and everything exceeded expectations.
Used this company 3 times in a year for emergency commercial work. Always on time and the owner even came in his personal vehicle to help us once!
Came out real quick and was able to plunge my line and get everything moving.
I called Economy to replace some broken supply valves in a difficult to service position and to remove a clog in an outdoor drain. They came out first thing the next morning to handle both. The folks who came out were fast, professional, and did great work, even when replacing the valves turned out to be more…
Timmy did a great job!
Great job and very knowledgeable and caring. Thank you Timmy
Timmy was extremely nice and informative. Great experience, will use them again!
The guys came out right away and took care of the problem, quick and efficient! We will definitely use them again! Highly recommended!!
What I didn't like was the last time I used your company they did drain the excess water from my basement. I was told you don't do this but you did last time. It was a little more expensive but well worth it. I was given a phone number by one of your workers, to call a Contractor that works with your company who…
Very informative and explained everything before actually doing any work to un clog my sink
After being burned by several business who overcharged and underperform I’m easily underwhelmed but Economy Drain Cleaning and Plumbing renewed my faith in God and Google by helping me find great plumbers online. After a week of flooding due to thunderstorms and no show plumbers my only regret is that I didn’t call…
Our kitchen sink clogged up. I was unable to do myself; water was leaking as well. Called these guys, they scheduled me the next day. Came on time and fixed the issues. Highly recommended!
Tommy and the other employee came out and were professional and quick with their service. Second time I have used this company. Would recommend to anyone.
They showed up on time and got the job done quickly and effectively.
These guys are amazing! We had a clogged main sewage line for a row home. Economy Drain Cleaning & Plumbing was recommended by our plumber. I called at 12:29PM and got a call back from the technician, Tom, by 12:40PM. Tom was at the site by 1PM. He worked with a snake from the inside to no avail. Then Tom…
I am totally satisfied with the service I received. For great customer service and repairs, you guys were terrific! I will be recommending you to my friends and neighbors.
I called in the morning and was able to get an appointment that day. The men that came were prompt, gave us prices upfront, explained the situation and made suggestions for the future. I will use economy plumbing again in the future and I would recommend to friends and family.
They responded to my request for an appointment almost immediately, and had a terrific plumber Tom sent over shortly afterwards. Tom quickly resolved the problem, and was extremely professional and skilled. We are thrilled with our experience, and are already in process of scheduling them for a garbage disposal installation.
Timmy is the man 👍💯
Prompt and efficient. Economy drain cleaning took care of my problem with no issues.
Tim M. and Steve were great! They said they’d be here by 8am and they were. They were patient and answered any and all questions I had. I told Tim if I ever have another problem I’m calling and asking for him specifically.
You also get a comedy show, and honesty!
Steve and Time were great! They solved my drain clog. Awesome job! I have used this company before and im glad i used them again. Always very professional
I highly recommend this company. I called the day before and they set an appointment for the next day. They called and stated they were able to arrive earlier if I preferred. I did. Tommy and Chris are prompt, polite and professional. They assessed and explained what is needed to be done. They quote you options for…
They showed up on time, very pleasant, did great job I am happy with work they did I would recommend then and I would-definitely use them again
Highly recommend! Called after 9 this morning and they had someone out to me before 11! Issue was resolved quickly.
They arrived on the earlier side of their appointment window. Explained options and promptly got to business! Professional and friendly!
Had an emergency situation at one of our rental properties. Economy Drain Cleaning and Plumbing handled the problem quickly, professionally and at a reasonable cost. I love a company that actually picks up the phone! What a concept! Thank you Timmy and Company!
The guys showed up early which worked out great for my schedule. They were quick and efficient. Couldn’t ask for better service.
Hydro jetting was needed in my sewer pipes I called quick response and appointment was made. Tommy and Chris called and asked would it be all right to start earlier than expected. Sure!!! They showed up promptly and got right to work and explained to me what was goin on every step of the way exhausted every…
Fast and friendly service! The guys were great. Will definitly use again
Amazing service!! They came out within the hour of me reaching out and got the job done quickly. Will definitely be working with them again for any future plumbing needs!
He came and cleared the drain said the clog was in the street drain not in my house.
These guys are the best not only were they on time they were early. These guys are top notch and I will be using them in the future.
Everything was done Professionally, very good work.
To say the experience was great would be an understatement. As a mama who just had a baby a few weeks ago being stressed and sleep deprived was already enough to break one but adding a basement that was leaking water anytime water was in use (dishes, laundry, bathroom, etc.) was the end all be all. I contacted…
Sink was stopped up and I used everything but nothing worked. I called and they responded fast. Came the same day. Unclogged my drain. Even offer to come for free if it gets stopped up in next 30 days. Thank you
Was able to come same day and came earlier than expected. Gavin fixed our clogged pipe quick and was very nice and professional.
Arrived right on time and solved the issue quickly and professionally. Would definitely call them again for my next issue..
Nice plumber who was prompt, efficient and gave me a clear explanation of how to prevent this from happening again.
