FastPlumber near me

The 15 plumbers serving Philadelphia, ranked.

We track 60 plumbing companies working within 20 miles of Philadelphia and have read 301 of their reviews across Google, Yelp and BBB — including every one-star review we could find. 53 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.

Philadelphia's problem isn't finding a plumber; it's telling them apart — the median rating here is 4.9, and when everyone has five stars, the stars stop helping. 54 of these companies carry 100+ reviews — enough history for real patterns to show. The patterns differ more than the ratings do: 27 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: Harris Plumbing, Heating, Air & Electrical alone carries 12,139 Google reviews — the deepest review base in this radius. Across the reviews we analyzed, the work named most often is water heaters and drain clearing.

Updated Jul 11, 202620-mile radius of downtown PhiladelphiaHow 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 ↓

  • Sloppy vent install on water heater left crooked and messy on front of house — reviewer had to repaint to improve appearance (1 of 5 reviews)
  • Poor workmanship flagged: reviewer documented crooked, messy vent install on water heater described as 'nothing like professional work' (1 of 5 reviews)

To be fair

  • Sunday night 9pm emergency response confirmed: technician dispatched same night for backed-up sewer/toilet (cited in 1 of 5 reviews)

Why we're cautious

  • Single but significant complaint about upselling: technician recommended $6,000–$10,000 repair when a simpler root-removal service ($600+) could have addressed the immediate problem, then actively discouraged the lower-cost option (1 of 5 reviews)
  • Pricing strategy appears to steer toward comprehensive repairs over incremental fixes—one reviewer was charged $600 for diagnosis and discouraged from pursuing lower-cost root removal, which was later completed successfully by the township using a water jet (1 of 5 reviews)

To be fair

  • Exceptional responsiveness—multiple reviewers praise fast service and quick arrival for emergency calls (cited in 2 of 5 reviews)
  • Technicians consistently described as knowledgeable, friendly, and honest by 4 of 5 reviewers (cited in 3 of 5 reviews)
  • Clear communication and willingness to explain repair options to help customers understand scope of work (cited in 2 of 5 reviews)

What reviewers complain about in Philadelphia

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

  • Len The Plumber Heating & Air, LLC — Incomplete work documented: reviewer paid ~$500, clog cleared but sink left unattached to wall with no reattachment offer
  • Roto-Rooter Plumbing & Water Cleanup — Incomplete job + $948 charge: technician removed toilet, failed to clear drain, left toilet off, and departed — problem unresolved after $948 payment (later refunded $300 after review posted)
  • Roto-Rooter Plumbing & Water Cleanup — Sloppy vent install on water heater left crooked and messy on front of house — reviewer had to repaint to improve appearance
  • Zoom Drain — Single but significant complaint about upselling: technician recommended $6,000–$10,000 repair when a simpler root-removal service ($600+) could have addressed the immediate problem, then actively discouraged the lower-cost option
  • Roto-Rooter Plumbing & Water Cleanup — Misdiagnosis risk: toilet snaked through wrong access point; $10,000+ excavation quote for area that turned out not to be the problem location.
  • Bill Frusco Plumbing Heating and Air Conditioning — Potential for misdiagnosis on complex systems: One customer reported water leak issue not resolved on first attempt despite parts replacement, requiring follow-up diagnosis and full boiler installation to actually fix the problem
  • Harris Plumbing, Heating, Air & Electrical — Scheduling lag noted: toilet repair required a 3-day wait for a part; outlet fix came next-morning, not same-day (themeCounts.slow_response=2).
  • Len The Plumber Heating & Air, LLC — Pricing complaints flagged: 1 reviewer paid ~$500 for drain clearing and sink was left unattached to wall after work

How we rank the plumbers on this page

  1. We read the reviews — all of them we can get. For each plumber serving Philadelphia 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
