FAQs
Are your plumbers fully licensed and insured to work in Philadelphia?
Yes. Every technician on our team holds an active Master Plumber or Journeyman license issued by the City of Philadelphia’s Department of Licenses & Inspections. In addition, we carry full general-liability and workers’-compensation insurance. This means your project complies with all city codes and you are protected from liability throughout the service call.
What plumbing services do you provide for Philadelphia homes and businesses?
We offer comprehensive residential and light-commercial plumbing, including water-heater installation and repair, drain cleaning, sewer line repair and replacement, leak detection, fixture installation, bathroom and kitchen remodel plumbing, gas piping, sump-pump service, backflow prevention, and code corrections. If water or gas runs through it, we can install, repair, or replace it.
How fast can you handle a plumbing emergency in Philadelphia?
Our dispatch center is staffed 24/7, and we maintain service vehicles strategically across the city. Most emergency calls within Philadelphia city limits receive a plumber on site in 60 minutes or less. Nights, weekends, and holidays are covered by the same licensed professionals—no outsourced answering services or unlicensed techs—so you receive swift, expert help whenever trouble strikes.
Do you provide upfront pricing and written estimates?
Absolutely. After diagnosing the issue, your plumber will present a written menu of repair or replacement options, each with a flat price that includes parts, labor, permit fees, and tax. Once you approve the work, that price is locked in—no surprise charges. For larger projects, we also offer free on-site consultations and detailed line-item proposals.
Can you obtain plumbing permits and coordinate inspections for me?
Yes. Philadelphia requires permits for most plumbing alterations, replacements, and new installations. As licensed Master Plumbers, we can pull the appropriate permits, prepare plans if needed, and schedule city inspections on your behalf. This ensures your project meets the Philadelphia Plumbing Code and passes final inspection without hassle.
What preventative maintenance do you recommend for Philadelphia properties?
We advise an annual whole-house plumbing inspection that includes flushing the water heater, testing water pressure, checking shut-off valves, camera-scoping main sewer lines, and inspecting sump pumps and backflow devices. Because Philadelphia’s older housing stock often relies on cast-iron and galvanized piping, early detection of corrosion and root intrusion prevents costly emergency repairs. We also recommend installing smart leak detectors and pressure-reducing valves to extend pipe and fixture life.
