David was punctual and professional in his interactions with me and the condo maintenance team. The issue was a major leak coming from the condo conditioned water pipe to my AC unit. He had my best interest in mind. I will call plumbing pals anytime and warmly. Recommend them from Customer Service to the plumbing team.

Plumber showed up on time, showed me the root of the issue, fixed the issue and even helped me with my upstairs sink water pressure. Reasonable prices. I will use Plumbing Pals again (I hope I don’t have to).
