The tech very professional and easy to talk to explained different things regarding the work
I needed two bathtub drains fixed, and Brandon Was very professional and fixed everything I would definitely recommend Universal plumbing to anyone who needs their services
Did a great job
Great service and excellent work. Service technician could have used a helper to speed things up and make his job a little easier.
Sean and Paul addressed ALL the issues during their service call. Even the extra issues that the initial service wasn't for. Very friendly guys who were easy to talk to and explained everything easily. Cleaned up after themselves which is a big deal to me. Will definitely be using the services again
Suan & Paul was very thorough and thoughtful. Which I appreciate. Thank You for the report.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I cannot recommend Universal Plumbing enough! Another company told me I had a collapsed sewer line and that I needed to spend $16,000 to replace it. Thankfully, I decided to get a second opinion. Jonah and Paul showed up with great attitudes, took the time to thoroughly inspect my drain and sewer line, and…
Damian and Sean did an amazing job! 10/10! Super polite and professional! They came in and got straight to the point, they worked with me and my budget and gave me a few options that were best for my situation. I couldn't be happier with their work, it was thorough, efficient, prompt and beautiful. Damain's…
Great Service. What a professional company.
We have had a multitude of plumbing issues since buying our home in July 22’ Universal has came to our rescue everytime (specially appreciate Terry) fair pricing & fast response. UPDATE 7/14/26 Universal continues to be a class act. Drew arrived on property this morning and was wonderful. This will be the only plumbing service we use.
Damion did an outstanding job while explaining everything along the way. Very clean and through.
If I could give 10 stars rating I would. Lee did a fantastic job, clean work, very informative and friendly. He also arrived about an hour after we called. For future plumbing problems I will call again.
Chris and Sean did an outstanding job fixing a leaky tub. They quickly diagnosed and fixed the problem. Chris was very knowledgeable about every plumbing question and concern I had throughout my house. I'm a very happy customer.
Very professional, showed up on time and got the work done quickly. I had a broken drain in my bathroom that was leaking into my basement. The price was reasonable and thankfully he had the parts on the truck to fix the issue (that is always a plus) I would definitely recommend this company and I will call them for any future problems that could occur.
I had a phenomenal experience with Universal Plumbing. I had water backing up into my basement floor drain due to our kitchen line being rotted and corroded. Gavin came out on a Sunday and explained everything in great detail and was extremely patient with my wife and I who are new homeowners. His communication…
JD was very polite and professional! Extremely informative!
Great explanation of services needed. Was professional and helped me understand the way my houses utilities are setup.
First time customer with company. Brandon came to my home to replace a shower cartridge and install a new faucet. Brandon was very polite, professional, and respectful. He explained all work to be done and costs. Would definitely recommend and will use this company for any future needs.
Max was very professional and respectful. He showed respect for my house and this old man. He was a credit to your company and if I need plumbing help in the future, he would be welcome. John Swatosh
Max came to my house for several plumbing issues that I wanted to take care of. He was professional, courteous and explained everything very clearly. He was able to take care of my projects one after the other. He made sure to not get anything dirty and promptly cleaned up after himself. Everything he did was…
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.
Jeff did an amazing job! He was courteous, respectful of property, explained everything he was going to do & did it! No more leaks! I would recommend him to everyone.
The plumber was polite, and efficient. The fee was less than I expected.
Jeff was friendly, fast and transparent diagnosing cause of water leak in basement. Got the necessary pipes, clamps and related assembly and replaced a corroded clamp and pipe section.
Great service, thank you Drew!
I had nothing short of a great experience with Universal plumbing. We had somewhat of an emergency situation and someone was at our house within the hour. Colin was knowledgeable, thorough, professional and answered every question that we had. I would highly recommend.
Damian was , helpful, patient, and friendly in installing our new kitchen sink. After removing the old sink, we learned that the new sink didn’t fit in the granite countertop hole. As a result, we had to pause installation to have a granite cutter come and make the hole a little bigger. Damian then returned and…
Always utilize Universal Plumbing and highly recommend them to others!!
The team was great.
Universal Plumbing did a great job repairing water piping leaks in my home resulting from the recent cold temperatures. They were very professional and clearly explainer all the work that was needed and completed the work in less than a day. I am very pleased with their work and would highly recommend them.
These guys were absolutely amazing! This started out as a a sudden 'no-water-in-the-kitchen' issue that turned into a burst pipe. We ended up getting the house re-plumbed, getting rid of the old galvanized pipes in this house we just moved into. While they were there, the fixed a clogged toilet and replaced bathtub…
I thought I only needed a drain snake done but turns out I had a crack in one of my water lines. I had the pleasure of meeting Drew and Arthur on the first day, they were very timely and very thorough about explaining things to me. Second day was water pipe replacement and I was able to meet Bryce and Brandon. Both…
Jeff was very professional to work with and did a good job. I had a leaking tub drain and he replaced it all in a few hours. I’ve had no issues since! Jeff definitely knew what he was doing and explained it all to me. These kinds of services can be a bit expensive but come with a warranty for peace of mind. I would use Universal again.
Colin was absolutely amazing. He handled a tough job with grace, and he was very professional. I really appreciate not only the great job he did, but his awesome personality. I would definitely choose Universal Plumbing and Sewer for any future jobs, especially with such a fine person as Colin as an employee. Great job!!!
Great customer service, my kids followed around and were asking questions and the workers were very kind and explained everything and answered all there questions. Walked us through the process every step of the way.
Response time to service and repair was prompt, quick, courteous and very efficient! The plumber quickly repaired our ruptured sink pipe fixture that was causing flooding the bathroom into the basement. So very thankful for service provided by the Universal Plumbing and Sewer Services!! Will certainly call on them…
Universal Plumbing is the best! Our technician, Jeff S was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and efficient and the price was reasonable for the work he did. I would recommend Universal Plumbing anytime.
Chris is honest. He told me what's the problem and what's needed to be done. He even called the company that makes the faucet so the parts can be delivered to my house. He took the time to explain different options available. Gave reasonable pricing as well. I did not feel the pressure to get the job done just because he was already in the house.
Excellent plumbers. From Chris the first day to Colin and Max doing alot of work. Very professional. Plumbers JD and Max came out ti replace copper pipes to new modern pipes for our dishwasher. Very professional and excellent plumbers. I would hire Universal again of course their plumber are awesome
I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! The service call is $ 69.00 which they waived the service call fee. When I schedule the appointment, the person on the phone is very friendly, courteous, and very knowledgeable. if I didn't use the sink, then I wouldn't have an issue. Waiting…
I’ve had Universal out a couple of times and continue to be impressed by their professionalism. They’re the first call I make when I need help.

The serviceman who came out to my house was both prompt and courteous. He replaced two boiler valves in my basement in under an hour did a great job.
These gentlemen did an amazing job. They very fast! They took such care in trying to preserve my landscaping as much as they could. Thank you so much for all you hard work ,I really really appreciate all of you.
Was pleased to get a call saying an earlier opening was available and there was a knock on the door in less than 30 minutes. Colin was very courteous and professional. He explained everything and did a great job cleaning up after. Another great job by Universal!
Mark was amazing. He did a wonderful job. I'm disabled and most of the time I'm overlooked and ignored like I'm not there. He showed me respect and patience. Very rare for a business. He went above and beyond to make sure I understood everything he was doing from beginning until the end and why he was doing it and…
Mark was very professional, knowledgeable and worked quickly! Excellent job!
JD from Universal Plumbing was on time, very professional and did a great job. He removed the hot water tank, removed the bad pipe and confirmed the leak in the crawl was eliminated. Cleanup was done professionally and if I have any future problems, I will contact Universal to do the job.
Your people are always very professional and quite friendly. It's (almost) a pleasure to hand over the check. ( ;0)
Use them in the past, and would highly recommend Universal to friends and family.
