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.

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.
Great service! They fixed all the plumbing needed for a renovation I had started. Should have used them from the very beginning instead of trying to do it ourselves.
Sprung a significant leak in a steel wastewater drain line under the kitchen sink just days before Thanksgiving. Damien and Max were able to resolve what could have ended up as demolition work with a creative and affordable solution, all in time for Thanksgiving Dinner. They were awesome to chat with and explained…
The skilled technicians (Bryce and Brandon) were knowledgeable, have friendly attitude, are patient in answering questions, and efficient in completing the installation. The work done was excellent!
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.
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.

We had Liam. He was through, knowledgeable,efficient and friendly and professional. I would recommend him.
Damian is very professional and certainly good at his work. I like the newly installed kitchen faucet and shutoff valve!
Did a very good job, happy with what was done.
Mark was awesome and fixed my shower same day. He’s been out before as well and has been super professional and knowledgeable both times. Thank you we appreciate you!
Drew came the same day we called. Needed the tub snaked, didn't work. Ended up replacing old pipes that were clogged, he showed them to us. Instead of coming back, Drew stayed and did the job that same day since my sister was having surgery the next day and needed to shower. He was professional, nice, explained…
Drew was awesome, figured out the problem in a timely manner and executed his craft perfectly. Man deserves a raise!
Exceptional Company!
Bryce is a very talented plumber! He was very knowledgeable, professional and efficient with our in demand water tank installation. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you Bryce and Universal Plumbing. We have been blessed to be ling time customers!
This was our 3rd time using Universal plumbing. Bryce responded and put a new main shutoff valve on. He also replaced bathroom faucet shut off valves and cartridges. Once again superior service. Will use Universal for any future plumbing needs.
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.
Arthur was a great tech, fast a service and knowledgeable… if ever I may need a plumbing technician in the future universal is who I will be calling for the job.
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,…
I needed a plumber immediately due to a pipe breaking in my basement. I called Universal Plumbing and they sent someone immediately. Damien stopped the flooding and was able to get everything fixed within an hour. He was professional, knowledgeable and kind. I would highly recommend this company. They have serviced…
Mark was very professional, knowledgeable and worked quickly! Excellent job!
Great Company! Great Crew! AFFORDABLE, ON TIME, CLEAN!!!
We've had several jobs done by Universal: simple drain cleanouts, hot water tank replacement, a remodel of one bathroom, and even a full new bathroom from scratch in the basement. They've always been professional, the work is top notch, and the price is reasonable for the work. Our last job was done by Arthur, and…
I had an emergency on a Saturday night and Universal had someone out to my home within an hour. The problem was fixed in a short time. This is the only plumbing company I use.
Very professional and took the time when questions were asked, cleaned everything up. It was like they weren't even there.
Our plumber, Chris, provided great insight and good suggestions on addressing our issues correctly and cost effectively. We would strongly recommend this service.

We are very pleased with Universal Plumbing and Sewer. We would highly recommend them. And we loved Liam!!!
Your people are always very professional and quite friendly. It's (almost) a pleasure to hand over the check. ( ;0)
Chris was awesome. He did a wonderful job. He answered all my question, explained what he was doing, and put me at ease with the whole situation. Chris made sure the area was all cleaned up when he was done, and showed me that there were no leaks anymore. This senior is very satisfied with the work. I would not…
Mark just took care of a small leak I had from one of my supply line valves in the basement. Great guy with a lot of knowledge and pleasant to work with. I also asked him for a couple other things while he was here and took care of it no problem. Very pleased with the new valve and even threw on a new spigot for the…
Use them in the past, and would highly recommend Universal to friends and family.
Excellent service from Arthur from Universal Plumbing. He came when the service was scheduled and went above and beyond to fix the pipe. A section of pipe needed replacement which he did. Arthur suggested that we may want to have the remaining pipe augured out and gave us an estimate. He then cleaned out what he…
We have used Universities Plumbing and Sewer, for at least twenty plus years. They’re professional, with good quality workers, and they have always been nice and respectful.
They did an awesome job converting my older bathtub/ shower plumbing (which was leaking) to the newer single handle style! Very professional & quality work!! Also, my plumber let me know that if we proceeded with another job I was considering… there might be very expensive issues that pop up!… I’m very thankful…
Friendly, competent, fast, and overall great service.

From the first phone call to set up an appointment all the way through the phenomenal service provided by JD, who was personable and professional, I was extremely happy. They were fast, efficient, and actually a bit cheaper than some other calls I made. They replaced my gas line (to bring it up to code) for my new…
Chris C. is an amazing employee! He arrived on time, was patient, looked over the emergency back-up problem, explained everything to us in detail and performed a job that was not easy. Fixed the issue and showed us what may be causing the issue and which steps to take going forward. I was seriously shocked at the…
This is the second time we’ve had Chris out to our residence to do work. He’s always on time and efficient.
Very friendly and patient. Quality work. Will definitely use them again.
We always use Universal. Arthur was professional, on-time and extremely helpful.
They have been to my house many times and they always do a great job. My last technician, JD, has been here twice. He was so nice and took the time to show me how to winterize my new spigot.
They were not just on time they were early. Very respectful of time and space. Bathroom repair took a while to complete. Lots of replumbing. Clean, friendly, helpful. Both really nice and professional men. JD had been there a few days prior to diagnose the issue. Tub overflow valve was not even connected. He took…
Awesome and professional job
We went with Universal because of the professionalism and thoroughness of the initial quote. They completely replaced our 80 year old galvanized system with PEX piping, videoed and jet cleaned our sewers, and discovered a hidden concern with our toilet cast iron stack. Luckily we budgeted for most of this and the…
Mark is great. He has been to my house numerous times and is always professional and knowledgeable.
Damian was friendly, knowledgeable, and informative. He knew what was wrong and was able to fix the problem the same day, whereas other businesses had to schedule a follow up appointment a week or more later. He cleaned up after himself and tested the repair before leaving.
Very professional and took the time to show me what he was doing
I have used this business three times now for plumbing repair in my residential home. I couldn't be more satisfied with the service that I received from booking, to the service call, and work performed. Technicians Damien and Mark are prompt and courteous. They are quick to identify problems and thorough in their…
The tech Mark was very professional. He explained everything to me and answered all my questions. He did the install then gave me pointers about my garbage disposal and pipes. He then asked and showed me where the hot water temperature should be. I would recommend them and will use again.
The guys that came out to my home were very professional and did an amazing job Figuring out the problem I had with my plumbing. I would highly recommend Universal plumbing to anyone.
Arthur was great! He arrived in a punctual fashion and completed the repair in an efficient manner. The office was also quite professional. I called on a Friday night and the pipe was repaired on saturday.
Being new to the area and having recently purchased a new home, Universal was recommended to us by the folks having done the inspection on our home prior to purchasing. The home was in need of some plumbing repair, and we could not be more pleased with the service and high-quality work Chris provided during his…
Universal Plumbing, Thank you so much for helping us with our sewer/pipe problem. Your team is outstanding! Prompt service, very personal, & satification 100% would recommend this company to everyone.
Price was fair, however I was very impressed by the Technician Adam. He did an amazing job. it took a lot longer than estimated but it was done the right way and did not charge extra. I was so happy, I ended up having them work on my main water supply line while they were here. Its refreshing to find people that…
Chris was very professional and friendly. He answered any questions and concerns we had. He helped us with anything we need to do after the situation as well. The amount of time the project took was right in line to what he told us. The finished product looks great! Best of all no more leaky pipe!

I had a wonderful experience with JD. He explained everything and did a great job, getting everything finished.
Bryce was on time, completed all the work (dishwasher install, faucet install, valve replacement) in 3 hours, and never once complained! I’ll definitely call again for my next plumbing issue.
Damian did a great job and explained everything clearly. He fixed the problem at the time. But we may have to make another appointment because pipes making noise again.
The main pipe that leaves the house sprung a leak; it was cast iron and original to this 80+ year-old house. They responded VERY quickly to assess the situation, ensure we could get by temporarily just using our upstairs facilities, and had us fully repaired in less than 24 hours. John and Ch were very professional…
Bryce repaired a bathroom exhaust pipe located in the attic. The company sent him out about an hour after I contacted them! Very pleased to get this taken care of so quickly.
Where do I begin? Mark M is a real life saver. We started having some potentially serious plumbing problems/leaking and tried calling 3 other companies. Long story short no one was able to meet my needs except for these guys and they were absolutely outstanding. Everything from setting up an appointment time with…
Bryce was our technician. He was incredibly professional and polite and articulate. He explained the situation and repair process to thoroughly. He touched base with senior co-workers to confirm his assessment of the problem. We were all very impressed with him and his service.
Professional, got right to work. Fixed our plumbing problems with no issues. Recommended.
Helpful, knowledgeable, and effective.
Very professional & great work!
Bryce was friendly and professional. He explained every step of the service before preforming any work. Excellent work!!!
Prompt, knowledgable, efficient, and very polite. Great job.
Mark was great to work with. He’s been to our home before after a water pipe burst. He was thorough and welcomed my questions so that I understood what was happening and what our options were for repair. He was no different for this water leak in our shower. Walked us through what he found and suggestions for…
There was a major repair replacement of the sump pump discharge line and connection to the city drain. All employees were respectful, listened to my concerns, and carefully did an excellent job.
