He then put the toilet back in place and caulked around it. $638!! He was here for less than hour. We are seniors living in a…
Emergency Service Needed, company was there within two hours on time!
I always stress when trying to find trustworthy home repair companies. I have to rely on peoples social media posts asking for recommendations and weed through the comments. I had a leaky toilet and needed a plumber and not sure where to go/who to use. I found Universal Plumbing and saw so many Google reviews, so I…
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.

My house cleaner accidentally poured a large cleaning rag down the toilet. It would not plunge out so she found Universal. They came on time and finished the job.
Bryce was professional and pleasant, he even took to time to explain the process of becoming a master plumber when asked. Have use Universal Plumbing on multiple projects and satisfied every time.
We had a wonderful experience with University Plumbing when they came out to clear our main sewage line. Technicians Aikeem and Gary arrived promptly and got straight to work.

Service was quick, professional, and handled with total dignity, he literally came out and plunged our…
I want to thank Brandon M. for helping me with 2 separate plumbing issues in the past week alone.

The worst customer service! I will never call them again. I scheduled an appointment for Saturday morning. I didn't get to go to work because of this appointment. Not only did they reschedule without letting me know they called to say they were on the way then less then 5 minutes later canceled the…
Colin did a great job. Wore shoe covers and used proper equipment. Went the extra mile to assist properly. He was incredibly helpful, respectful and informative.
Technicians JD and Max were informative, helpful, patient with my questions, and provided the necessary information for the work done and that might need to be done. JD spent extra time making sure the job was finished correctly.
Harry worked well along Rob in remodeling my bathroom. He was professional, friendly, and worked hard to keep everything super clean. He too, was especially quiet as I worked from home due to the pandemic. I would definitely want Harry back to work on any future projects in my home.
So professional and genuine. Will return for future plumbing needs!
The team was great.
Our plumber Arthur was on time and knowledgeable about our issue. He took time to look for solutions as we had some unique issues with our plumbing. I appreciated his willingness to discuss the issues and possible solutions. The scheduling was easy and the overall experience was excellent Any future issues we will reach out to Universal again
Great company, 2 great guys showed up! They did the best they could to help us in the home we’re renting, unfortunately, they didn’t get approval to continue from my landlord yet. My toilet is flushing now and they tried to explain as much as they could to us, and I’ll tell you they did as much as they could given…
Our technician was amazing! We really appreciate his great work.
Excellent job. Very professional.
Great company! They have replaced our water heater, toilet, and sump pump. The same technician has come out every time. Very fair pricing. They make sure to clean up after themselves, put down tarps when needed. We had a city inspector come out for home insurance purposes to check the new water heater and commented…
Arthur and Ken were absolutely professional and provided quick and exceptional service.
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.

Our service was top notch. Shoe coverings, professionalism and knowledge was the ticket for us.our tech was 5 star!! Andrew and his apprentice were patient and took time answering our many questions. Great job on both our plumbing jobs!

We had a backup the day before leaving for out of town. Universal sent a plumber the same day. Damian arrived on time and was both friendly and professional. He explained the repair afterwards and gave us a next step should we want to follow up. Great experience!
Arthur and his companion, and not sure of his name they did an excellent job, very professional, polite, courteous.

The young man was nice and professional.
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!
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…
John did an excellent job on my repair Great customer service
The work was done perfectly and the service were very personable and respectful.
Our plumber, Chris, provided great insight and good suggestions on addressing our issues correctly and cost effectively. We would strongly recommend this service.
Good service.
I hired a different company before calling Universal Plumbing. They misdiagnosed the problem, said that I needed a new two-way flush, then said they couldn't get the part, and then said I'd have to get a new toilet; which was $525 to install, plus another $89 service fee, plus the cost of the toilet. This company…
The guys were fast, clean, nice and very knowledgeable. They laid tarp down first and disinfected everything after. They gave me a realistic expectation for timing and finished much sooner. Very affordable!!! Would only call this company for any plumbing needs.
Use them in the past, and would highly recommend Universal to friends and family.
Arthur and his colleague were very professional and quick.
I highly recommend Universal plumbing. The technician took his time, answered all my questions and fixed everything I needed! Will absolutely use again, good prices, fast response time and cleaned up everything afterwards. Thank you!
Bryce S was knowledgeable and polite. He explained my options with no pressure or up sell. He even took the time to help me tighten a hard to reach nut for a faucet. (Not original problem/call.) Would recommend company.
Great company, the plumber was on time and completed the task beautifully!
Needed drain unplug they were on time very good work explained everything did a great job double check the whole system great job well done
Bryce did an excellent job installing the new flush valve assembly for the urinal. Parts took about 3 weeks to arrive and the flush valve portion was too long, neither of which were his fault. Despite the wrong size Bryce was creative and found a way to make it work.
Excellent professional service.
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 originally called to have my water heater checked because I was getting sputters of air specifically in my hot water. While the water heater seemed perfectly fine, Mark thoroughly explained the possible sources and what it might take to address it. I mentioned that one of my toilets had a leaky gasket, and Mark…
My 3rd experience with this company; excellent workmanship!!
We've used Universal Plumbing a few times now and are always happy with their service. Our basement unexpectedly started flooding with all of the storms and we got the run around from multiple other companies over two days that supposedly "specialize" in those issues. Universal sent someone out to diagnose the issue…
J.D. did an excellent job. Very courtious and professional. I will recommend Universal Plumbing based on J.D and Marks services.

Mark was professional and knowledgeable. Did a great job with the repair!
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 service, very professional
Technician was professional, provided before/after pictures of the work. I felt overcharged for the work that was done. Sticker shock. That part was negative.
Chris was very helpful in explaining what the issue was and what the options were for our repair work.
Universal Plumbing is reliable, honest, and has a great team of plumbers. You can expect great communication, up front pricing, and that they will get the job right. I've have them out to my home several times and they always do a great job. Although everyone I've worked with at Universal has been great, Damian is…
Very prompt. Very careful of your home. Fixed the problem in a quick manner. Cleaned up very well. Will call them again.
Have used Universal twice now for a back up sump pump install and a toilet repair. Both techs were polite and knowledgeable. I was very happy with my experience. Whenever I have plumbing needs, I will schedule with Universal. The online appointment setting is very convenient.
Tech was very fast and thorough. Keep up the good customer service and work.
They were on time and professional. I had to replace a new toilet and they did not damage the other one so I could return it. Will use them again.
Bryce S. is so awesome at his job. He explained everything throughly and answered all my questions. His knowledge & expertise made me feel comfortable with the visit. I learned so much on things I can do for preventative maintenance as well. Bryce is fantastic and would ask for me again for future repairs. Thanks Bryce! 😊

Toilet wasn’t flushing properly. Universal came out the same day, fixed the problem and only charged me the service call. Suggested newer product to avoid further problems. No pressure, no sales push, just efficiency and honesty. Will use them every time I need plumbing work.
Good people are hard to find but i found them...
Best service we ever received great job to All

I would like to recognize the amazing service and professionalism of Mark at Universal Plumbing and Sewer. We had 2 very difficult to repair older toilets and he just never gave up! He was always on time, professional and kept us aware of what he was doing while solving the problem. We will certainly use Universal the next time we have a plumbing issue!
Great service and great price. Replaced toilet guts for $267 where another company told me i had to replace the whole toilet for $800.
If you're looking for a professional, reliable, and honest plumbing service, this is the company you want. Starting with the initial phone call requesting service, every step of the process was kind, professional, and very accommodating. They provide the service call fee up-front, and each individual service is…
Very nice professional service and experienced....unfortunately one of faucets started leaking worse than before the repair after they left. Required second visit...
Damian came to our home through the emergency service and was able to take a problem that we couldn’t figure out ourselves and help out within 1 hour of arriving. He even told us a bit of how the process works and what to look out for in the future in case of any possible issues. Absolutely will be calling on him…
I always use Universal, trustworthy and nice employees.
Did a good job very professional
JD, Paul, Chip and Lee have all provided great assistance and service for my random pandemic plumbing emergency over the last week. Highly recommended Universal Plumbing, and especially these 4 guys. Quick, responsive, knowledgeable, flexible and fair.
