The 15 plumbers serving Glen Oaks, ranked.

We track 60 plumbing companies working within 20 miles of Glen Oaks and have read 277 of their reviews across Google, Yelp and BBB — including every one-star review we could find. 39 answer 24/7 per their Google listings; where reviewers describe real middle-of-the-night calls, that evidence is quoted on the cards below. Rankings are not for sale.

Glen Oaks's problem isn't finding a plumber; it's telling them apart — the median rating here is 4.8, and when everyone has five stars, the stars stop helping. 32 of these companies carry 100+ reviews — enough history for real patterns to show. The patterns differ more than the ratings do: 30 of the 60 have a repeated complaint pattern in their reviews — quotes that grew mid-job, unreturned callbacks — flagged and quoted on their cards below. One number worth knowing: Universe Home Services alone carries 7,588 Google reviews — the deepest review base in this radius. Across the reviews we analyzed, the work named most often is burst pipes and flooding.

Updated Jul 11, 202620-mile radius of downtown Glen OaksHow we rank

How we rank — the 60-second version

What we read: for each plumber, up to 100 recent reviews from Google, Yelp and BBB — the full text, not just the stars. For this page: 75 reviews across 15 businesses.

What moves a plumber up: repeated, independent evidence of showing up when promised, fair and upfront pricing, and work that holds. One glowing review counts for little; twenty that agree count for a lot.

What moves a plumber down: repeated complaint patterns — surprise fees, missed appointments, pressure sales — especially when they show up on more than one platform.

What never moves the ranking: money. One clearly labeled sponsored slot may appear above this list; it never changes the order below it.

Our take on each plumber is our opinion, grounded in the reviews we quote on this page. Full methodology ↓

Why we're cautious

Critical workmanship failure documented: same plumber misdiagnosed a faucet basket as non-leaking on 12/23/25, then charged $628 to replace it on 1/11/26 without properly tightening it, resulting in continued leaks that a competitor fixed by merely tightening the basket and re-sealing the elbow—customer had no water access for 3 days (1 of 5 reviews)
Quality control failure on repeat visits—one customer required two service calls totaling $791.35 for the same kitchen faucet leak, then needed a third plumber to properly seal the connections and tighten the basket that Roto-Rooter had installed (1 of 5 reviews)
Pricing fairness is inconsistent—one reviewer praised competitive pricing vs. local plumbers, but another incurred $791+ in failed repairs requiring external remediation (2 of 5 reviews)

To be fair

Exceptional emergency responsiveness—multiple reviewers highlight rapid arrival and quick diagnosis even for complex issues (cited in 2 of 5 reviews)

What reviewers complain about in Glen Oaks

The repeated complaint patterns our read surfaced, business by business — each links to the card where the supporting quotes live. How we find these →

Suffolk Plumbing Inc — One reviewer explicitly reports being pressured into open-ended hourly billing on a non-emergency frozen pipe without realistic assessment or cost justification—concerning sales practice on borderline situations
Roto-Rooter Plumbing & Water Cleanup — High pricing with modest value—one customer paid nearly $600 for a kitchen drain cleaning and flagged careless execution; pricing fairness scored only 37/100
Roto-Rooter Plumbing & Water Cleanup — Two of five reviews document property damage or water damage during service (kitchen floor spillage, brick paver sewage dumping)
Universe Home Services — Service completion concerns: one reviewer of 5 reported boiler tune-up was not completed as expected (soot and pipes never cleaned despite being charged $270), suggesting possible gap between service description and execution
Roto-Rooter Plumbing & Water Cleanup — Critical workmanship failure documented: same plumber misdiagnosed a faucet basket as non-leaking on 12/23/25, then charged $628 to replace it on 1/11/26 without properly tightening it, resulting in continued leaks that a competitor fixed by merely tightening the basket and re-sealing the elbow—customer had no water access for 3 days
Sal Manzo Plumbing, Heating & Cooling — Single 1-star review documents repeated system failures after expensive repairs ($4k spent), suggesting possible diagnostic gaps or inadequate root-cause analysis on complex HVAC issues
Rebmann Plumbing Heating & Air Conditioning — Very low emergency responsiveness score (20/100) suggests this company may not prioritize 2am burst-pipe calls despite strong overall ratings
Rebmann Plumbing Heating & Air Conditioning — Aggressive payment collection tactics including false accusations of non-payment before pursuing legitimate contact channels

How we rank the plumbers on this page

We read the reviews — all of them we can get. For each plumber serving Glen Oaks we pulled up to 100 recent reviews from Google, Yelp and BBB and read the full text. For this page: 75 reviews across 15 businesses.
Patterns beat anecdotes. A plumber moves up when independent reviewers keep describing the same behavior: showing up when promised, quoting before working, work that holds. One rave changes nothing.
Complaints count double when they repeat.Surprise fees, missed appointments, pressure sales — when the same complaint appears across reviewers (or across platforms), it caps how high we'll rank a business regardless of its star average.
Money never moves the ranking.A plumber can buy the clearly-labeled sponsored slot at the top of the page — visibility, not endorsement. A business we wouldn't recommend can't buy the slot at all, and no payment changes the ranked order.
Our take is our opinion.It's grounded in the reviews we quote and count on this page — check our evidence and disagree with us if you like. That's the point of showing it.

Every quotation on this page is reproduced verbatimfrom a publicly posted review and attributed to its author, star rating, platform and date. Star averages and review counts are Google's (or Yelp's) as of our last data pull. “Rating mix” charts describe only the set of reviews we analyzed, which we state on every card.
