Last night around 6:30pm we noticed a wet carpet near our bathroom - called the landlord and she got Express Plumbing out the next morning at 11am. The gentleman who came to inspect the bathroom quickly noticed water stains and mold under the sink which was causing the carpet to get drenched. He had to bust a whole under the sink to find the source of the leak and it was determined that it was the UPSTAIRS NEIGHBORS kitchen sink. (I always hated those people, they have worlds heaviest foot...) So, he had to go upstairs tell them not to run their water so he could replace the pipe connecting between our apartments. Essentially their leak ruined our bathroom! Haha He went to the store among the COVID pandemic, came back with supplies and quickly replaced the pipe and was on his way! He was properly wearing a mask and gloves the whole time he was here and was very friendly. The work that was done looks great and I'm sure will stop the awful leaks, but not my neighbors heavy foot! Thanks guys! read more

Phil came to save the day and did just that. We had some tree roots in our drains giving us quite a problem. He carefully inspected everything with camera equipment and was successful in getting everything cleaned out and working perfectly. He worked til the very late hours and we really appreciate his work ethic and communication. I'll definitely use his services again should an issue arise and a big thank you from the Heard family. 10/10 read more

My 82 yo mother had an issue with her shower, I called this place and got an appointment for the same day. 30 min prior, we received a phone call that technician, Paul, is on the way. He called me to update me and got an estimate, which was very reasonable. He called me when the work is done and sent me the bill to my email. I paid over the phone. Since i could not be there at my mother's place, everything was communicated to me by the phone. My mother is happy that her plumbing issue is corrected quickly. thanks to Paul for the job well done. very reliable and well run business. read more

We use Phil for commercial plumbing and he does a fantastic job. Phil is the guy want to call when you want professional work done that you wont have to call someone back to fix in a couple years. He makes sure things are made to last and really goes above and beyond. Sometimes its a little funny how he can even overthink something and really make it outrageously durable. We appreciate that a lot in a commercial setting. He is extremely easy to work with and a really nice guy in general. I am very happy to have found him as he can have a full conversation to strategize the best way to attack a situation for the best price while also securing longevity of the product. Great for general calls as well for plumbing issues of old pipes like we have in our old building as well. Just overall a great easy experience and we don't think you can go wrong with him. read more

Phil and his wife (family business) still running a tight ship. Service and care job one. Phil seems to take his passion with him everyday he goes to work... as I have an older home with iron pipe plumbing, I see him routinely. He is a professional and a guy that other plumbers call when they cannot get it done. This is the guy you want. He isn't the cheapest guy out there... but he IS the guy who will do it right the first time... certainly saving you from spending more money down the road for the same thing. He has never up-sold me or tried to charge me or sell me on anything beyond what I needed. His recommendations are always solid pragmatic and common sense solutions. Ladies, you can trust him to take care of your plumbing issues at a fair price; no fear in being taken advantage or feeing intimated... he is a great dude with a passion for what he does. Because Phil is so sought after (commercially and residential) he can get busy at times... don't count that against a guy that has gained such a sought after reputation in this business! read more

We were on vacation enjoying ourselves having a wonderful time when we got a phone call from our neighbor that water was leaking in our house. I called Phil at express plumbing and explained we were out of town and what was happening, he was there in minutes. He called me and kept me in touch with everything that was happening. A pipe in our daughters bathroom broke and water was flooding upstairs and downstairs. Phil called a clean up crew immediately to start so we wouldn't get mold and more damage. We got in touch with our insurance company and they even said our plumber acted fast and helped us from even more damage. I highly recommend Express Plumbing he is Honest and a great plumber. read more

I can't say enough good things about Phil, he fixed my toilet and sink that were backed up, did an under house inspection and provided pictures of an issue and didn't try to up sell me.

Thanks to Express Drain and Phil for the job he did in replacing my garbage disposal.

Phil was a lifesaver when my water main broke. He came out, went under my house to inspect the damage, emerged a muddy mess, and gave me a rough idea of what happened, what needed to be done, and the cost. After a couple hours, he returned to my house...this is important to me because he could have easily called, but he went the extra step to talk about this in person. He gave me a few options on what I could do. I decided what I wanted to do and he was able to start. His crew was great. Nice and respectful of the house, dogs, and roommate. There were a couple of things I had on my wishlist to do (ie install a new garbage disposal) and when I asked him, he was very polite and up front about the work and additional cost. There were no surprises and no upsells. A few times he pointed something out that could be done if I wanted, like installing a water line for my fridge. He didn't pressure me, but told me if could be done if I wanted. Phil is insane with his knowledge of this field. I felt like I was in school at times when I would ask a question and he would give me answers. He will be my go to for anything plumbing related from now on. read more

Phil came out on the same day I requested service. He arrived within two hours and right away detected the issue and fixed it. He was very professional and took his time to ensure that everything was fixed and working properly.I'm definitely reaching out in the near future! read more

I only have good things to say about Phil and his crew at Express Drain & Plumbing. They recently completed a full re-pipe of my old house. Phil gave good advice to help me choose the best materials that would last the longest and fit my budget. They worked quickly, neatly, and professionally. Very courteous, and considerate of my property Phil provides great customer service and I won't hesitate to call Express for the next job. read more

We had them come for an estimate and the gentlemen was very nice and helpful, however when he went to see what the issue was for our tub, he just fixed it and charged us (after asking what our other estimate we got was from another company) without asking if we wanted it fixed, we really just wanted the estimate. So we ended up getting charged a little less than what the first estimate was, which was way more than we wanted for what the issue was. Nice people, just make sure you get the estimate before they invoice you. read more

I had a clogged bathroom sink drain and a clogged toilet, Phil said he would be here at a certain time and arrived on time he did a great job he was honest, very professional and explained the process very clearly, he finished the job quickly and I was very pleased with the outcome, and I will call express again and again for my future plumbing needs. I picked Express based on the reviews I saw in Yelp and I hope you will too! read more

We had a clog and decided to try this based on Yelp review and am sure glad I did. Phil is the BEST. He came out looked around and survey the situation and was able to find the best place to unclog the pipe from the outside. The previous guy that came only 3 months ago didn't even know about this and took out the toilet to unclog the drain. Phil was able to unclog it in a matter of few mins, but instead of just taking off and saying it's done, he stayed and used the pipe camera to show me the cause of the clog, which turned out to be roots with no additional fee. He even used the snake to get rid of alot of the roots. If you are looking for a knowledgeable honest plummer PHIL is your man! read more

Great customer service. Very reasonable with pricing and he's super fast. I would definitely recommend Phil.

With a name like Insinkerator you think your garbage disposal can pretty much choke down anything. NOPE. Not the case. I mean seriously I expected to be able to but bones down that thing and have them chewed to shreds with that name. Boy was I wrong. Then you wake up to a wet floor. Your contractor told you hard wood floors in you kitchen would be a bad idea, you wouldn't listen though, You wanted them throughout the house. I mean seriously what could go wrong? Well the insikerator went wrong that's what, now my pipes are all backed up and I can't use my kitchen sink. Then Bam! Phil to the rescue. Phil was at my house in less than 24 hours and cleared that mess right up and in a short time I might add. His prices were very reasonable and he let me know about some of the issues with using drain cleaner etc, which I obviously tried to no avail. If I ever get something stuck down one of my pipes again, you can bet I'm called Phil at Express Drain and Plumbing. read more

Express plumbing service was great and efficient. Price wise was very reasonable. Express plumbing were able to arrive on a timely manner and the part I really liked was that you were able to get a free quote. Phil (plumber) was very professional, honest, descriptive, and great! I recommend this plumbing service company to any one! read more

Rick again. I had to call Phil back because my drain was plugged again. Phil said that my previous cleaning was under warranty and unclogged the drain again, for free. He also put a color camera into the pipe (also for free) to figure out what happened. It turned out to be a small twig that is causing all of the fuss. Phil pushed the camera all the way to the street and the rest of the line is clean. If it clogs again I may need to hydro jet but it's a comfort to know I don't have to dig up my slab. Thanks again Phil! read more

Update: Phil returned to complete/install the new drains, garbage disposal. He saw that the other contractor was seriously lagging in finishing the bathroom/kitchen remodel, so Phil installed our new shower heads, sink fixtures and installed our new dishwasher. He is so friendly and patient and such a hard worker. read more

Folks-Phil is the real deal! LIke the rest of the reviews-he explained what he was doing and why.

Made time to come by the next day which I really appreciate. Turns out I had two leaks from my shower, not just one, that leaked into my living room. I am SO happy to have it all done in one day and get it over with. I was stressing all week worrying about it. I feel blessed to have been referred to Phil. I definitely recommend him and will use him again for other plumbing needs. read more

I received great service from Phil at Express Drain & Plumbing. I had an old water softener that was at my home when I bought it, that had a burst leak at night and was flooding my back yard. I turned off the main line and called around in the morning and Phil was able to come out within a couple of hours. He accessed the problem and I ended up having him remove it. He needed a few parts that he immediately went to get and returned promptly. He removed the old water softener and capped off the line right away. He even stayed around to make sure there were no leaks. I would highly recommend Phill as he provided great service at a fair price. read more

First off let me say, Phil is great! My shower was not working properly and called up Express last Friday at 1:30. Phill showed up no later than 4. He was quick to respond to the problem. Came back Tuesday to resolve the issue(would have came earlier but my work schedule was everywhere) and within an hour my shower was back up working. Sometimes you do need a man to do the job. Thanks Express for your honest work and fast service. I really appreciate your business! read more

For months, we have had issues with water pressure--especially when the hot water was running. We were hesitant to call a plumber for fear of how expensive it would be. Then we found Phil. We were able to schedule a diagnostic appointment with him for the very next day, and he arrived promptly at the time of our appointment. Within an hour, he was able to figure out exactly what the problem was and repair it. He communicated with me every step of the way, which I greatly appreciated. He was so knowledgeable and honest and seemed to genuinely care about making sure you understood what he was doing and why he was doing it.
