Did a great job
Damien was a very good worker with very good workmanship! Attention to details and neat!
Damian has done several repairs and installs at my home. He’s always on time, courteous, and willing to answer any questions that I have had. Needless to say, his work is always top notch and professional.
Brandon came out and repaired an outside faucet and added a pipe to another outside fixture. He did a great job and explained what the problems were. The price was reasonable and I am happy with the work. If I need future work done, I will definitely call them.
Changed out three outside faucets and inside the house valves to more effective parts! They did a great job, were on time and neat and clean. Not sure if I paid a bit on the high.end but o didn’t have many reference points! It’s nice not having leaking outside faucets that are also set for freezing temps!!
Cannot say enough about how great this plumbing company is!! They under promise-over deliver every time. Thanks so much guys!!
Bryce and his partner were very professional, friendly, quick, and reasonably priced. Did an excellent job!
Mr. Chris did an excellent job repairing my water tubing line. He arrived exactly when he said he would and completed the work in a timely manner. He also cleaned up thoroughly after the job, which I greatly appreciated. In addition, he conducted a detailed inspection of my home and clearly explained which repairs…
Chris did a fabulous job at my house today. Very articulate and informative on the work performed. Would recommend him over and over again. Any future work I will reach out to Universal Plumbing and request for Chris to do the work.
The plumber was polite, and efficient. The fee was less than I expected.
This is the second time I’ve used Universal. The staff is knowledgeable, timely, and courteous. They do a great job educating the customer which I very much appreciated.
Great service, thank you Drew!
Great service. Very professional, timely, courteous.
Five star service from start to finish! The office staff was professional, polite and thorough. My repair was scheduled promptly. An entire crew showed up the morning of the repair and were all courteous and well mannered. The guys explained everything completely and in a manner that was easily understood. They wore…
I can’t say enough great things about Colin & Associate from Universal Plumbing & Sewer, Inc.! This was not an easy plumbing job by any stretch, was handled professionally from start to finish. They tackled every challenge with skill, determination, and great teamwork, and the quality of the work was outstanding.…
Damien and his crew mate were easy to work with. They knew what to look for and how to do the job without issue. They provided good feedback and photos of the situation and how to handle things going forward.
I called Universal Plumbing & Sewer for a sump-pump plumbing repair, and Drew showed up as if by teleportation. He was professional, quick, and so thorough every measurement precise, every connection perfectly sealed. Honestly, I think my sump-pump line is now the refence point for all the measurements in the rest…
Damien was very courteous and respectful to me and my home. I had a broken outdoor pipe that he glued back together. He also quoted other projects I need done in my new home.
We had Universal come out earlier this year to install a new water heater and replace our shower fixtures and put new shutoff valves at the front of the house. Since that time, we've had them come back out to snake the drain in the basement due to a backup and will be having an outdoor faucet replaced mid October.…
This a wonderful team to work with for plumbing. They consistently have great team members come to my home. They are friendly and easy to talk too! I wouldn’t use anyone else!
Excellent.
Replaced our outdoor water spigot. Job well done! Looks great and quality materials were used. Very pleased with the work. Will definitely use this company for future issues.
The guys did a great job. They took their time and were very diligent even though the weather was horrible outside. Thank you
I had forgotten that I used Universal at my home two years ago while looking for a plumber for my son's sewer line collapse. I am so glad that I had previous experience with them and they didn't let us down on this HUGE job. Cannot say enough good words for the initial contact with Arther, to the exterior lead,…
Drew was awesome. Professional, courteous, explained everything and was very kind. Thank you very much!
Quick, clean, efficient and professional. Will use again without hesitation. 100% Satisfied
We are very pleased with Universal Plumbing and Sewer. We would highly recommend them. And we loved Liam!!!
Excellent experience!! Joshua and team explained every step of the process and we felt so happy to have a job well done. We already referred them to our neighbors.
Competent and professional technicians.
Had two rain gutters installed. Guys did a fantastic job. Very satisfied.
Just used Universal again and they continue to provide knowledgeable, Wonderful and timely service. Thank you
Chris and his excavating team were exceptional. They finished a big job quickly, were excellent about communication, timely, and were very professional in their work and all of the preparation that went into it. Thanks so much, and I’d absolutely recommend them.
Very pleased with the work that they perform very professional I do recommend this company to anyone
Very friendly and Courteous person. Knows his stuff and had great suggestions.
My 3rd experience with this company; excellent workmanship!!
This was a big job to fix the drain pipe in my front yard. It was 100% clogged with tree roots. I have a paver walkway I didn’t want dug up. They did some brainstorming and managed to find another way to do this without disturbing my beautiful walkway. The guys were professional and easy to converse with. I was…
The discharge piping for my sump pump was partially plugged with mineral/sediment build up. Universal plumbing came out and hydrojetted the pvc line. I saw the before and after and this jetting cleans the pipe to a like new condition . They also installed a clean out which the old pvc did not have. May not be the cheapest , but they do it right!
They arrived early and ready to go. Explained everything and did great!
They charged me $537 just to perform a diagnostic and then wanted $5733 for a total repipe which I can't afford, I do not recommend Universal plumbing and sewer unless you have VERY deep pockets.
I have used universal plumbing several times. Had all shut off valves repaired, new sump pump, toilets rebuilt, new outside drain pipe. All plumbers are good. Mark has been here more than once and they are the guys to call.
Great job and fast service will use whenever I have a plumbing problem for sure
Incredible service from the entire Universal team! Thank you Arthur & crew!
I called Universal late at night and they came out first thing in the morning. I've used them in the past and I found them to be professional and good at their jobs. For this particular job, Adam, the service man was friendly, fast, and knowledgeable. I would recommend them, and use them again.
I purchased my house 2 years ago…not knowing what poor shape the system was in. This company responds quickly and does quality work. Many thanks to Tony, Chris, Terry and Josh for their hard work, professionalism, and kindness.
Excellent service.....friendly and knowledgeable technicians. Highly recommend if you need plumbing service. A+
Fast responding, quality professional service.
Universal Plumbing & Sewer did an AMAZING job replacing the sewer line in my backyard. Anthony did a very good job explaining all the details of the replacement procedure, brought a sewer scope back for a second look the week of the installation to confirm their final project details & his plan to minimize the…
Aaron John and Chris all three did a great job on fixing my pipes outside and jetting the system to get me back into operation. Great job guys thank you
Billy was great! Professional! I would use this company again.
