Quick Overview

iHow this is made

This summary is generated from the verified data on this profile: services, service area, credentials, warranty terms and the company's Google review record. It is reviewed by an editor before publishing and refreshed whenever the underlying data changes. Nothing here is asserted that is not stated elsewhere on this page.

Leaks, slow drains, burst pipes and fixture swaps make up the bread and butter here, for houses and for the small businesses that keep Philadelphia fed and groomed. The company works out of an address on North 9th Street and publishes 24-hour availability every day of the week, which matters when a basement drain starts backing up at two in the morning. Its Google Business Profile showed a 4.7 rating from 71 reviews when read on September 27, 2026, with reviewers repeatedly mentioning tidy work, punctual arrival and jobs finished in one visit. The pitch on its own site leans on clear pricing discussed before work starts, arrival at a set time rather than a vague all-day window, and licensed, insured plumbers. That framing suits homeowners who want a plumber they can call again for the small stuff, and commercial tenants running kitchens, salons or gyms where a dead water line closes the doors.

Editorial Review

Our Take on Philly Plumbing Pros

A 4.7 average from 71 reviews is a solid record for a mid-sized city shop, and the reviews consistently praise punctuality and tidiness rather than just price, which tends to be a better signal. The genuine 24-hour availability is the standout feature, and the site's candour about what does and does not constitute an emergency is a good sign. Confirm licence details, after-hours rates and who patches walls before you commit to anything larger than a repair.

About Philly Plumbing Pros

Philly Plumbing Pros covers three broad buckets of work: residential repairs and installations, commercial plumbing for businesses that depend on running water, and emergency call-outs at any hour. On the residential side that means leaking faucets and supply lines, slow or blocked drains, overflowing toilets, water line replacement and new fixture installation. On the commercial side the company describes taking on restaurant kitchens, salon wash basins and fitness centre showers, which are jobs with heavier duty cycles and, often, tighter deadlines than a home bathroom.

The emergency framing on its website is refreshingly honest about what actually counts as one. A clogged kitchen sink at midnight is usually a morning problem. A backing-up basement drain in a Philadelphia row house, where the floor drain sits below the street sewer and the finished basement holds the furnace and the water heater, is not. That distinction is worth understanding before you call, because overnight work anywhere in this trade carries a premium, and knowing whether you need one now or one tomorrow is the difference between a routine bill and an after-hours one.

Philadelphia housing puts specific demands on a plumber. Large parts of the city are rows built between the 1890s and the 1940s, which means cast iron drain stacks well past their design life, galvanised steel supply lines that choke down to pencil width from the inside, and lead water service still in the ground in older neighbourhoods. A homeowner who notices weak pressure on the second floor is often looking at a partial repipe rather than a single repair, and one of the reviews on the Google profile mentions exactly that outcome, old pipes upgraded and pressure restored. If that is the conversation you expect to have, ask how the work will be staged, whether copper or PEX is proposed, and how much wall and plaster has to come out and who closes it back up.

Permits and inspections are the other local wrinkle. Plumbing work in the city falls under Philadelphia's Department of Licenses and Inspections, and anything touching the water service, the sewer lateral or new drainage typically needs a registered plumber to pull it. Ask who files, what the permit fee is, and whether it is inside the quote or billed separately. Sewer laterals are the expensive surprise here: the property owner owns the line out to the main, and a collapsed clay lateral under a sidewalk or a street cut turns a drain call into a multi-day excavation with street opening fees attached. A camera inspection before anyone digs is money well spent.

The company's own pitch centres on estimates discussed in full before work begins, no billing for anything not agreed, and a scheduled arrival time rather than a day-long window. Those are claims from its website rather than independently verified promises, but they line up with the tone of the reviews, which mention respectful techs, careful treatment of the house and problems solved quickly. It also states that its plumbers are licensed in Pennsylvania and insured, and offers a satisfaction guarantee. Get the licence number and a current certificate of insurance in writing before a large job, as you would with any contractor.

Who is this a good fit for? Homeowners and small landlords who want one number for the drip under the sink and the 3am burst, and commercial tenants in the food, fitness and personal care trades who need a plumber willing to work around opening hours. Bigger picture jobs like a full sewer replacement, a heating system tied into the plumbing, or new construction rough-in are not described on the site, so ask directly rather than assuming.

Compared with the alternatives in this market, philly plumbing pros sits between the one-van independent and the large franchised outfits with dispatch centres and flat-rate books. The independents are often cheaper and slower to reach at night. The franchises answer immediately and price accordingly. A mid-sized local shop with round-the-clock hours and a 4.7 average across 71 reviews on its Google profile as of September 27, 2026 tends to land in between on both counts. Reviews are a small sample by big-city standards, so read a handful for yourself rather than taking the average at face value.

Before booking, settle the basics on the phone: the call-out or diagnostic fee and whether it is credited against the repair, whether rates change overnight and at weekends, how long any warranty on parts and labour runs, and who is responsible for patching drywall or tile after a pipe repair. Ask for the estimate in writing. If a drain problem has recurred more than once, push for a camera inspection rather than another snaking, because repeat clearing of a failing line is money spent twice.

Philly Plumbing Pros FAQs

  • Is Philly Plumbing Pros open 24 hours?

    Yes, its published hours show open 24 hours every day of the week, including weekends. One Google reviewer mentions a leak fixed on a Saturday evening. As with any plumber, ask whether overnight or weekend calls carry a different rate before the van is dispatched.

  • What counts as a plumbing emergency?

    Anything causing active damage or making a property unusable. The company's own site draws the line sensibly: a clogged kitchen sink can usually wait until morning, but a backing-up basement drain, a burst pipe or an overflowing toilet cannot, because water reaching a finished basement or a furnace becomes expensive fast.

  • How is Philly Plumbing Pros rated?

    Its Google Business Profile showed 4.7 from 71 reviews when read on September 27, 2026. Reviewers most often mention professional and knowledgeable technicians, care taken inside the home, and problems resolved in a single visit. It also links to a Yelp listing if you want a second source.

  • Do they handle commercial plumbing as well as homes?

    Yes. Its website specifically describes work for restaurants with full kitchens, hair salons with wash basins and fitness centres with showers, alongside standard staff and customer washrooms. If your business has a grease interceptor or backflow prevention requirements, confirm on the phone that those are covered.

  • Will I get a price before the work starts?

    The company says it discusses every aspect of the job first and never bills for services not agreed in advance. That is its own claim rather than a verified policy, so ask for the estimate in writing, and clarify whether the diagnostic or call-out fee is credited against the repair if you go ahead.

  • Can they replace old galvanised or lead pipes in a row house?

    Pipe upgrades are part of the service list, and one Google reviewer describes old pipes replaced with a noticeable improvement in pressure. For a job of that size, ask how the work will be staged, what material is proposed, how much wall has to be opened, and who repairs the plaster or tile afterwards.

  • Who is responsible for a broken sewer lateral in Philadelphia?

    The property owner generally owns the lateral line from the house out to the city main, which makes a collapsed line the homeowner's cost. Street opening and permit fees through Licenses and Inspections can apply if excavation crosses the sidewalk or roadway. A camera inspection before any digging is worth the expense.

  • Is Philly Plumbing Pros licensed and insured?

    We have no credential records on file for this company yet. Ask for the certificate directly from the insurer before booking work.

  • What areas does Philly Plumbing Pros serve?

    Philadelphia, Cheltenham. Coverage is as the business describes it, cross-checked against where its recent documented work is. Confirm your address before scheduling, particularly at the edge of a service area.

  • Does Philly Plumbing Pros offer emergency service?

    Emergency availability is not listed for this company. If you need an urgent call-out, check the ranking for companies that do list it.

  • What warranty do they offer?

    Warranty terms are not on file. Ask for them in writing before work starts.

  • How was this profile built?

    Credentials come from issuing authorities, ratings from the company's Google Business Profile with the date we read them, and the editorial take from our own review of estimates, warranty documents and public feedback. Anything the business told us is labelled as reported.

  • Can a business pay to improve its profile?

    A business can subscribe to manage its own listing details, and it can buy a labelled sponsored placement. Neither changes a ranking position or the editorial assessment on this page.
