Can't say enough great things about my experience today with Advocate Master Plumbing! This is the kind of service you always hope to get, but rarely do anymore. On time for the appointment and came prepared with everything needed. Polite, professional and personable. Looked at the work I wanted done, explained the options, made a recommendation and explained why that was the best way to go. The work itself was top notch, and done with an eye not just on getting it done now, but also making it last. It was obvious that this gentleman understands that a craftsman is known by the quality of the finished product. Went the extra mile to make sure the work was done right, and even took the time to explain the operation of the equipment and share tips on how to keep it running in good condition after he was gone. Cleaned up the work area when the job was complete, to a degree that if you hadn't seen the work BEING done, you wouldn't know any work HAD been done - which is exactly what you want most of the time for plumbing service. Prices were extremely reasonable, especially when considering the level of service received. If you want the best service available, call Advocate. If you're interested in supporting small business with your spending power, call Advocate. Either way, you'll be glad you did. UPDATE 4/11/19 - We've used Advocate Master Plumbing twice more since the first review, and received the same great service. Nobody touches my plumbing except Jerry at Advocate, until the day he decides to hang up his pipe wrenches. read more

When you find a good honest business you promote it. You share it with your friends. Well friends, let me introduce you to the only plumber you should be using. My day started with a call to a household name know local plumbing company. They have so many trucks and are so successful, they most be doing something right ... right? After telling us they'd be here before noon and promising a series of calls so we'd know when to expect them they showed up kind of by surprise. I'm sure his eyes lit up to find my husband not home. I received two estimates to replace my water heater. One $2500+ and one $3700+. What? No way. We'd already given up a precious night with the girls due to having no hot water. I had to get this solved. I got on the phone. I ended up contacting Advocate Plumbing. At 1:45 he told me he could be here after 3:00. Asked me to send him pics of ours and promised me a $1300 estimate. Jerry showed up at 4:45 with our new water, installed it, charged us what he said and was gone by 5:45. Everyone told us this would take 3-4 hours to switch them out. Not only is Jerry the super hero of plumbing, he honest, he does an amazing job and damn he made me look good to my husband. Long story short, if you need a plumber, call Advocate Master Plumbing. No BS, no "special" woman pricing. Good work done fast. I hope this helps my friends. Call him! read more

Our new to us townhouse had issues with the kitchen waste disposal, dish washer, and hot water heater. We called Jerry because his web site included clear and understandable explanations of plumbing problems, including DIY instructions for many issues. His knowledge and professionalism impressed us. Jerry arrived on time, diagnosed each problem and explained exactly what had happened, what needed to be done, and why. His inspection also disclosed a potential problem with the dishwasher that would have caused a flood of waste water to damage our kitchen cabinets and wood floor. Really grateful that he fixed that before something bad happened. We were very impressed with his friendly, caring manner as much as his workmanship. When we moved two years later, everything Jerry fixed was still perfect. When our new home had issues with erratic water pressure, we called Jerry. Just as he did two years earlier, he was on time, fixed the problem, and clearly explained everything. Also pleased that his prices are fair and very reasonable. On this most recent call, Jerry repaired a leak around our garbage disposal, then taught me how to do it myself, in case it happens again. Jerry is our go to plumber for life.

I am in Lee's Summit. I called Bob Hamilton and Advocate. Jerry, with Advocate, replied first. He says he is "the employee". Well, I like a good sense of humor as much as I like to go local instead of loco. I told him I had a kitchen sink that was backing up. I described my disposal and an extra (yes!) pipe coming out of the wall, which was open and poured water out. I had already capped it, but now the sink was backing up. Jerry consulted with me via Messenger and when I couldnt fix it simply, he agreed to come out the next day. He's gracious, very knowledgeable, and a pleasure to have work on my plumbing. He even suggested ways to improve the piping - a remodel from a couple years ago left them in a confused state - with an uncapped pipe leftover from a dual sink, as I mentioned above. He reconfigured the trap from the disposal, cleared the pipe, and offered advice on how to maintain much of the plumbing in my house. I noticed many complaints on Bob Hamilton was the exorbitant rates for seemingly little work. I tell you, Jerry charged me an EXTREMELY reasonable amount for all this service. if I could give him 10 stars, I would. And I usually dont go the max rating. In this case, Jerry definitely warrants your business. read more

Jerry was fantastic. One of the best service calls I've ever had. We had a pressure regulator fail and needed quick replacement. I left him a message. He was busy with another client but took a minute to text me back with a bid that was not only reasonable but lower than two other places I called. We set up the appt for the next day. He was on time, friendly, put on a top quality replacement, quick and clean with his work. I asked him for his opinion on a couple of other items and he was honest about what would be best for me not just to sell me more product or service. I do a lot of DIY to save money on many things around the house but plumbing can quickly go from a little problem to a big one when done wrong. His number is now in my phone and we'll be calling again. read more

I needed an outside faucet replaced. I am so tired of dealing with the larger, heating, cooling and plumbing companies. They are so over priced and their plumbers just aren't friendly or knowledgable. I decided to find a local, individual plumber and saw Jerry listed here on Yelp and he had great reviews so I decided to give him a shot. I obtained three bids for this small job: A bid from R-Mech, Affordable Plumbing and then from Jerry. Jerry came in cheaper. As others said; he was very courteous on the phone; he showed up when he said he would and he fixed the problem right away! I am done with these large companies and I have found my new plumber for future work! Thanks Jerry for the great experience! read more

Short story -- Courteous convenient knowledgeable service, fixed my problems plus did a very thorough check of everything plumbing in my house at a reasonable price. Long story - The drain to my washing machine was backing up. I also had a few other plumbing problems that had accumulated.I called Advocate and they quickly worked out a convenient appointment time. Jerry unclogged the drain, fixed the other problems, and did a very thorough check of the water heater, toilets, faucets, sink drains, main drain, etc. As he did this he pointed out some things, gave tips, and made some minor tweaks/fixes. Great job all around! read more

I needed a new water line for the ice maker of my new fridge. Jerry came the next day and instead of running the new line again from the basement, he tapped it from under the kitchen sink instead, and used a copper pipe instead of the plastic flexible tubing or braided hose (which I didn't know was rubber on the inside). He connected the fridge, it works flawlessly. He was looking over other things as well, giving me advices, which I absolutely loved, because big companies will take advantage of the fact that you don't know and upsell everything and their mother. I will definitely use him again! I highly recommend him. read more

This guy is AWESOME. If you have any and I mean any plumbing issues he can and will solve it. He is a customer service master. He is even willing to give his customer little short cuts so he doesn't have to come out as often. If you are looking for a plumber that treat's all of his customers like he want to be treated this is your guy. His pricing also is incredibly competitive! Trust me this is your plumber for as long as he plans on doing it. Once you use his services you will not want to use anyone else. I know I am not going to. If he retires I still might see if he will work on my house! read more

Excellent local service that you can rely on. I called, he gave me a time period when he would be over. He called me an hour before he was supposed to be there and said he was held up on a job. I can understand that but it is so rare to receive a phone call. To top it off he still got there on time! He diagnosed and performed the repair in about 25 minutes. I had asked him to go ahead and replace a few other things on the toilet but he advised not to on a few of them, even though he said he could if I really wanted. I really appreciated his honesty and will call no one else from here on. read more

I called this company based on reviews. And I am so grateful I did. Enough can not be said about this level of service - it is unfortunately too rare these days. Jerry returned my call within 10 minutes. He shared great advice of steps I should take prior to his arrival to avoid water damage. He arrived promptly at the scheduled time. He is extremely professional & knowledgeable, efficiently diagnosed the issue and left me with peace of mind. I will be calling Advocate Master Plumbing company for ALL future plumbing needs as well as recommending to my family & friends. Thank you Jerry! read more

My main was clogged and I had a backup issue in the worst way. Called the first number I found on Google and man am I glad. Jerry was here within 45 minutes and ready to tackle the problem. Within 20 minutes the line was free and clear and the house was back in business. He even took the time to discuss a few other plumbing issues I have and offered some great advice. I slipped him a little extra on the check because I was so impressed with his service. If I ever have a need for a plumber again, Jerry and Advocate are the first and only one I will call. Thanks so much!!! read more

Jerry Miller at Advocate Master Plumber has been the guy that I've called when I need any type of plumbing issues taken care of - I have lived in my Leawood home for 12+ years and haven't used anyone else. From installing all new toilets, replacing a kitchen faucet, etc., Jerry does quality work and is a trustworthy person. I have recommended him to others (including my mother-in-law !), and feel very comfortable that he'll take care of them and their charges will be reasonable. Thanks Jerry! read more

We have used Jerry three times in recent months. He has always responded promptly. His work is completed professionally and at a reasonable price. He has always been very helpful. He saved us a lot of future expense and headaches when he pointed out that our water pressure control valve was not functioning. After he replaced it we noticed the difference immediately. He is the best. I can't imagine that we would ever use a different plumber. Give him a try. You won't be sorry. read more

We called last minute and Jerry was able to come out quick to help us. Had good knowledge of things, explained well. Pricing was very affordable compared to other quotes we got. Clean appearance, professional. When work was done, the area around it was left clean. Instead of calling those other places who say they are working on commission, call this place. I found them to be trustworthy and affordable. read more

Advocate Master Plumbing provides quality service at a fair price. I have had Jerry work on everything from a broken outside water line, to completely replacing all the pipes under the sinks in my kitchen and laundry room, as well as replacing the floor drain in the basement. All work was completed was quality. I have been very pleased with his work and will continue to use him for all my plumbing needs. read more

We have several rental properties and Jerry was very good about fixing current issues but also identified other potential problems and gave reasonable and affordable suggestions on how to fix them. He responded quickly and accommodated our schedule. While working on various properties he was great about giving updates about what was going on with the project as well as time estimates for completion. read more

I had a water leak after hours on a Friday night. He talked me through trouble shooting to see if I needed immediate help or something that could wait until Monday and save a few dollars. Turns out it was drain pipe and could wait. Came out on Monday at noon and fixed the problem. Very honest and was looking out for my best interest. Would highly recommend! read more

I was able to get an appointment quickly. Jerry called to tell me he was on his way and he arrived as scheduled. He took his time to review the situation and since the problem was solved quickly, he did not charge me a service charge. He was very professional and I would highly recommend him. I will definitely call him if I have future problems. Mike B. read more
