Did a wonderful job! The process from start to finish was seamless and fast. Communication was 100% and everyone was very helpful answering my needs. I absolutely would recommend them if you want a job done right. They did not try to upselling me and was super honest and trustworthy.
Great speedy and thorough service
Excellent service.
Highly recommend Plumbing Pals! Ricky and Travas are both super responsive, efficient and knowledgable! Their office personnel are great as well. Top notch company!
Plumbing Pals did an excellent job. Clear my pipe with no problem. Thanks to Tommy and his assistant. Would recommend for all your plumbing needs.
Plumbing Pals was reasonably priced, punctual, efficient, and completed the job just as quoted. I would recommend the business for any future plumbing needs.
Our main sewer pipe was cracked. The guys did an excellent job excavating under the sidewalk, replacing the pipe, and repairing the bricked sidewalk. Very professional and easy communication. Highly recommended.
My project was a major one — replacing the entire basement drain system, including the section beneath the sidewalk by the curb. The job was completed beautifully in just one day with a reasonable price. The company was very efficient. Communication with Supervisor Travas and Manager Rick was smooth and clear. The…

Got a sewer line replaced Quick turnaround and best price vs other shops
I am so happy I chose Plumbing Pals to tackle such a big project in my home. They scheduled me quickly for an investigation and quote when my basement was flooding. The woman that dealt with the permits from Plumbing Pals went above and beyond when there was a snafu with the city to get the permits for the work.…
I recently hired Plumbing Pals for a complex sewer pipe project in my Philadelphia home. The work was intense, but the team executed it with professionalism and expertise. From the initial quote to the final completion, the crew was transparent, respectful, and diligent in their approach. I appreciated the detailed…
Incredibly friendly, quick, and easy. Kept me informed throughout the repair process. Saved me from digging up my entire front porch.
Would highly recommend Economy Drain Cleaning & Plumbing..They were on time, informative, professional and very knowledgeable of the job..The owner kept me informed every step of the way. From the moment I contacted their office, the staff was very patient with me with all the questions I had.
Could not have picked a better team to complete our job. It was an incredibly difficult piece of work that needed to be done, but the guys went above and beyond to explain the situation with me, show me how everything should function/look like and they even stayed an extra day to make sure the job was done right. 10/10
They were able to clear my sewer blockage quickly.
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.
Economy is super fantastic in every way! Extremely knowledgeable, professional, creative, and dedicated to solving the challenges at hand and delivering high quality solutions!
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.
Would give double stars if an option. My recently purchased home seems to have just about every plumbing issue imaginable, and Economy's been incredible with detecting and fixing everything so far. The team's been exceptionally accommodating with getting things completed as affordably and efficiently as possible.…
Travas and his team really went above and beyond for us in our sewer line job. They came into a tough job and even stayed an extra day to make sure the problem was solved. We're so grateful and Economy will definitely be the first people we call in the future!
Jay and his crew did a great job replacing my sewer line. They were professional and knowledgeable.
I am very happy with the service I received from Economy Drain cleaning. Great customer service, friendly and professional. I definitely will use their services in the future.
I can’t say enough about my great experience with Economy. The entire crew was extremely professional, knowledgeable, punctual, and responsive. The team went above and beyond in a project that unexpectedly turned into much more (a sewer line and water line replacement) - helping every step of the way. I would highly…
Excellent service
would recommend these guys to anyone ! fast response, quick to fix, and clean while doing it !
Tommy and Steve were excellent! Polite, knowledgeable, communicative and on time. We will definitely work with them again. Thank you!
Everything was done Professionally, very good work.
Sam came faster than expected, solved the problem in less than an hour, and explained what we could do in the future to prevent any further problems. We’re so thankful that our call was answered so quickly and with an amiable attitude to boot. We will definitely be calling again for future problems.
Thank you for your professionalism. Prompt response. Great company to work with.
Had absolutely the best experience with this team for a recent extensive project. I have had previous work by other plumbers and this company BY FAR exceeded expectations and blew everyone else out of the water. They were professional, clean, has amazing communication and made the experience as painless as possible. I cannot recommend this company enough!
Awesome service - Travis and his crew did a fantastic job replacing the old cast iron pipe in my basement. Would highly recommend!
Everything were fixed very quickly. They are professionals. Also great customer service.
Called Economy after hours and Sam was sent to fix a backed up pipe coming from the upstairs bathroom. Sam worked for a while trying to get through what could have turned into a much bigger issue. He was able to clear everything out and get the bathroom working again. Would recommend Economy and Sam in particular to…
Sam came out to help inspect and fix our problem. Was very professional and enthusiastic about his work. People person who is there for the customer and not personal benefit. Would do anything to help, even knocked on neighbors door to help talk to them about issues we had which was very beneficial. Definitely recommend.
Professional workers & appropriate tools.
Travis did everything he said. Very professional and a really honest guy. We would differently recommend his company.
I cannot say enough great things about Economy and their amazing tech Tommy. I had a previous plumber come out to snake a clog due to my tenant using flushable wipes. he was way in over his head and got his snake stuck outside my main sewer and left it there stuck. Economy came and not only saved me atleast $6k and…
On time and very professional. They gave tips on preventing future problems and just did their job. Will always use Economy in the future.
These guys are a landlord's dream. Kind, astute, and very very good.
