We unfortunately did not have a great experience. We had them come out because we were experiencing water backing up in our laundry room and utility room so we thought we needed the main drain snaked. They did come out and snake the drain and were able to pull up some roots that were in the line, but it did not stop…
James And Brenndon were fabulous!! Awesome service!! Explained everything clearly and I felt confident the sewer work would be done correctly!! Thank you for an awesome job and customer service!!
The plumber is an amazing plumber.He explains everything in a very understandable way cleans up after himself.Does the job right?Gets the job done in a quick and timely manner.Anytime I have any plumbing issues.I will definitely be asking for him by name.
Did a great job
Needed pipe replaced prior to installing a dishwasher. Great work!!
We have had work done by Universal several times now. They are quick and professional. We will use them in the future.
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…
Chrid was very professional and helpful with every question I had. All the problems were addressed and fixed before he left our home. I highly recommend his services.
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.
This is the second time I have used Universal Plumbing and I am very satisfied with the work that they have done. Bryce was the one who was here today and I was quite impressed with the job he did and he explained everything he was going to do. He was very pleasant and knowledgeable about the work he was doing. I…
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!!
Called Universal regarding kitchen sink back up. Found them googling plumbers near me in Warren; They came up first with listing 4.9 rating. And they deserve it, and I’d give them a 5. came out Next morning (Mac and Colin) & snaked pipes number of times. Still blocked. House built in 1960s & due to old…
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.
Bryce was very through, he took the time to explain everything to me and answered any questions I had. He was very polite and easy to work with and cleaned up after he was done. Unexpected expense but necessary.
Colin was nice and professional. Came much earlier than expected and did an awesome job. Would use Universal again and refer them as well. As far as the charge.. more than I expected and can’t say if it was in the price range because never had a main valve replaced. So because he was so nice and professional and…
For May 20 thank you Damien, we all super happy with the results. We appreciate you and the team. The 3 in 1 was set and works well.
Jd was friendly, patient, and accommodating to my questions. Universal provides exceptional service, at prices that are much better than their corporate competitors.
Damian came today to install our faucet. He did a phenomenal job, he explained the process of what he was doing and also told us what to look for if we have any other problems. It was great experience with Damien
Universal plumbing did a great job and Dillon (?) was also great… pleasant, patient and courteous… Thank you
Chris C. was the best! Answered all of our questions and was quick to get a ton of work done. If you use this company, ask for Chris!
These guys are always fast, thorough, professional, and affordable.
Damian and the crew from Universal Plumbing did an excellent job with my plumbing issue. From the initial quote to the repair job itself. Very professional and reliable. Highly recommend.
Jeff and the rest of the dig crew did a great job. I had my external sump pump discharge line replaced and a new sump pump internal discharge line installed.They were very professional and timely. They kept me informed on how the job was progressing. I would recommend Universal Plumbing to anyone in the area with plumbing needs.
Drew was fantastic and he completed everything we needed done. We have more that needs to be done and requested that he come back.
Colin was my plumber..he did a great job..explained everything. Very polite and friendly. Would definitely use him/the company again...
Damian is amazing. He is thorough and personable and I owe what he's doing!
Prompt, knowledgeable, easy to work with, good clean-up on departure and obvious ly thing to do a good job.
The Tec was very expierienced in his field and knowledgeable. I had a Sprikler line that needed a shutoff replaced and a vacuum breaker that I supplied so was reminded they would not warranty the part. The Tec was there for 3 hours and had roughly $100.00 or less in supplies. I was charged $1045.00 for this change.…
JD did a phenomenal job replacing our sump pump in a short period of time. He was also professional and explained each part of the process.
Awesome work and awesome experience. Damian does great work and is very transparent with the work he does. Glad to finally be rid of poor drainage from cast iron pipes, and it looks great to boot
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.
This company came out once and said they scoped the pipes in my basement and found one clog and said they hydrojeted in my basement and cleared the clog. A few months later, the exact same overflow appeared in my basement bathroom and storage room. When I called again, they wanted to charge me again for coming out…
Great service, thank you Drew!
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…
Repeat customer here with Universal Plumbing and Sewer. Collin F. Came out and replaced 4 shutoff valves in my basement. He did a great job, kept me updated on progress and explained everything he did when he was finished. He went above and beyond my expectations when he thought the bill balance looked off and…
Universal is always on time and pleasant to deal with. Chris was my tech and such a great example of customer service. He explained everything to me step by step. He made me feel important. I had another plumbing question which he was more than happy to answer and give me an additional quote for that repair. He also…
Damian was a pleasure to work with and did an outstanding job. I highly recommend Universal Plumbing and Damian.
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.…
Love this company! Always on time, respectful of the household and leave the job as clean (sometimes cleaner) than before. Colin F. did exceptional work for the 2nd time! Arthur S. performed a hydrojet service and was extremely proficient and informative. Another shout out to Drew H. who's saved us a couple times.
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.
Mark was very pleasant and professional. The work that he did was extremely good not to mention he explained everything to us. Additionally, he left our home clean and put together.
Colin F was thorough in finding the source of my leak. He explained everything as he went and worked diligently. I highly recommend.
The team was great.
Very professional,nice,knowledgeable the out come was awesome
Great service, Bryce was outstanding.
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…
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…
Jeff was on time and a very delightful person to interact with. Very knowledgeable and finished the job in a timely fashion. Would highly recommend this business for any plumbing issues.
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.
JD installed a laundry tub. He did a great job of mocking it up and fitting it to the existing faucet and tub interfaces. Vinnie did a good clean up job.
Completed the repairs faster than I thought it could be done . I am very satisfied JH
Darien was great! Professional, quick, helpful and explained patiently with my questions. Highly recommend.
Thank you to Damien & his assistant for the great job restoring my water. I had accidentally cut into a water pipe. They replaced a section of the pipe.
