Drew was incredibly professional. Explained everything that was done and needed. Truly a 5 star company that does 5 star work.
Put in a request to get my line snaked and videoed online, and not too long after I was contacted and an appointment was set for the next day! I then had the pleasure of meeting Drew a quick, professional, and knowledgeable technician they had sent out!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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…
Colin was great very knowledgable, fast and friendly . Would highly recommend.
Jonah came out to hydro jet my sewer line. He was great. He explained the process to me, let me watch and pointed out things that he was doing. I will be asking for him if I need any work in the future!
Arthur and team did a great job. Super courteous, respectful, cleaned up after the job and educated me along the way. Would highly recommend Universal. I have them come up every 2 years to check the drains and they always do a fantastic job.
Arthur and his partner were very nice, came on time. Explained my plumbing problem in detail. He was respectful by not trying to upsell me, however, he gave me detailed estimates on what any future improvements would be so we can budget for them. I was very happy!
Fast arriving and got the job done quickly and professionally. Appreciate the great after hours service
Professional and focused on doing a good job
Jeff, Tony and Arthur and the guy who accompanied Arthur to my home on March 31(did not get his name) have all been great! They’ve been transparent and kind, and understanding of my situation. Jeff took extra time to explain things and go over quotes.

Had a nightmare waste pipe clog in 2 upper units of a 4-unit rental that had to be fixed immediately. We rented a snake but no luck clearing it. Called Universal and said we need your best snake guy for a difficult clog. They sent Jeff who was polite, hard working, and very knowledgeable and was able to clear the…
Arthur was great. Polite, professional, and informative. He explained in detail what was causing our issue and potential paths to correct the problem. I walked away from the interaction with information and a plan, not some hard pushed sales pitch as I've experienced from other plumbing companies. I will be using Universal going forward. Thanks Arthur

Universal Plumbing was great. JD was friendly and explained everything clearly. He worked efficiently and made sure everything was cleaned up when he left. I will definitely call them again.
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…

I've had Universal out a few times in the past two weeks. Each time they were on time, professional, and communicated well. I had a small issue and they were very quick to correct it. The office was great to deal with as well. I fully recommend Universal based on my recent experience.
Mark was very friendly, professional and efficient. Gave good advice. I'd use the company again.
Damian was our plumber for an emergency plumbing repair. Very professional, clean and helpful
Universal Plumbing saved my home from a disastrous situation of a major sewer backup and crack in the sewer line. All the employees who were at my home for the last week were a life saver. My two sons and I just moved in our new home 3 days before Christmas 2022 and I thought at some point we would not be able to…
So happy with this company. They are flexible and always have convenient availability. Reasonably priced too!
Arthur was prompt and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend to someone. 10 stars!

Collin was so kind and professional I was so stressed out he eased the pain. Showed kindness empathy help me make the right decisions for my situation I’m a single mom and I felt safe with him God Bless you all at Universal Thank you Jennifer
John did a nice job of representing universal plumbing. He was on time, came in and looked at what needed to be done and got straight to work. He got our house back to normal and hopefully it’ll last a while. He also gave me a quote on some future work after he finished with the drain line.
They were fast and offered explanations when needed
