Anthony and Leroy showed up quick and went above and beyond to help us unclog the kitchen sink. This is our 3rd time using Plumbing Pals and they're always more than helpful and fair.

Anthony and Hunter were very friendly and respectful. They wore covering on their shoes. They explained the repair work they were doing step by step. They made good recommendations to me on how to avoid future problems with my garbage disposal unit. I really appreciated their service.

I put in a request on Yelp for quotes at 9:00 PM, and by 9:04, I had a response from Economy Drain Cleaning & Plumbing for two availability windows for someone to come by the following day, as early as 8 AM (so less than 12 hours after my initial request!). Two plumbers arrived within the window I requested and were…

I called Economy after a failed repair job with another vendor. Anthony was fantastic. He assessed the situation and was thorough in his repair work. He literally tested the new pipes for 20 min to ensure there was no residual leaking. He was clear on pricing. Economy is now my go-to plumbing company.

I'd been without a working garbage disposal for about a week - Travis fixed it in under 5 minutes and the majority of his time was spent moving the things I still had under the sink out of his way. He also unclogged my bathroom sink and made sure my basement toilet was draining properly with time to spare. 10/10 recommend - Thanks, Travis!
