Recommended by neighbor. Problem happened over weekend and Pumphrey was the 1st to respond. Very cordial over the phone and scheduled service within 2 hours. Roman showed up early and had the repair completed within 20 minutes. Extremely professional and personable. I will highly recommend Pumphrey plumbing and Roman to all of my family friends and neighbors. read more

Our tenants advised us that they came home from being gone for a few days and had no hot water. Even though it was after hours, when I reached out to this company, they got back to me and said they could have someone there first thing in the next morning. They were out, Determined that the old water heater could not be repaired, and were able to replace it with a brand new one the same day! They even went back after hours when my tenant let me know that he had a question about it. This company is very responsive, incredibly professional and knowledgeable, and super affordable. I highly recommend! read more

See all

Responsive, reasonable and quality work and products. Our regular plumber was not available and recommended Pumphreys. Grateful for that and the fact that Pumpreys would roll out to us last minute on a Friday leading into a summer weekend. read more

Jack and his crew are the best. Shoutout to Roman for finding my problem and taking action. I was referred to this company by a friend and I highly recommend them. read more

Always responsive, reliable, honest and do quality work. When tenants called with an "emergency" Pumphrey Plumbing responded quickly. It was not an emergency something simple that the tenants could have easily done--and we were not charged anything although we expected to pay regardless. This is what a great company does for repeat customers and it pays off with not only further business but multiple referrals. Highest recommendation. Excellent all-around. read more

I would highly recommend Pumphrey Plumbing. I had a serious water leak in the kitchen and although it was getting near closing time, Jack sent Roman who assessed the problem and stopped the leak . I am so grateful. Disaster averted. Thank you so much. read more

Jack pulled a new water main line to repair an underground leak. Work was neat, timely, and reasonably priced.

I've only had Jack and his crew out twice. Maybe mine were isolated incidents, but I probably won't hire him again. First time was to install a water heater. Install went quickly and everything done as expected, or so I thought. Before leaving they said "it will take a few hours for the water to heat up". We had been without hot water for several days, so a few hours wasn't an issue. We waited, and waited, and waited. Still cold water. I called either later in the day or the next day and he said it should be heating. After some back and forth he recommended I call an electrician he recommended. Turns out whoever flipped the breaker switch didn't push it all the way so it looked like it was on but wasn't actually. I don't totally fault Jack and his crew, but the fact that they didn't test it before leaving is a bit of a red flag. Some time later we were having our bathroom redone and had them do some work on it. When his workers installed the shower head they didn't tighten something enough and it started leaking through our ceiling a few days later. They did fix it for free when we noticed, which you would expect. Luckily we noticed it early, but there was no concern about damage to the ceiling on the part of the person who fixed it the second time. A few days later when one of his guys reinstalled our toilet, they kicked a hole in the newly installed drywall and didn't tell anyone. read more

I have used pumphreys a few times over the past couple of years. They are consistently efficient, friendly, and fairly priced. I highly recommend! read more

Had to get my washer and dryer connected and stacked after the flooring guys disconnected them. Jack was prompt in responding to my voicemail and sent 2 very friendly guys over the next day to help. They were very fast, friendly, and affordable. Would definitely recommend. read more

We called Pumphrey Plumbing regarding an ongoing water pressure issue in our home. I spoke with the owner Jack, who could diagnose our problem based off of my short (and inexperienced) description. Jack was able to have his team come out the very next day to do an assessment, and we're able to schedule them the next week to have the repair completed. Extremely reasonable prices, very timely, polite, and professional. Will definitely use them for our future plumbing needs. read more

Ours was an easy job: a 6" rust hole in kitchen drain pipe and an outside faucet leak. Called Jack Pumphrey this morning, his team was here by early afternoon. NICE !!! Many Thanks from Another Satisfied Customer. read more

Thanks guys! We had a shower drainage issue and Jack had some guys out the morning after we spoke. The gentlemen who showed up were on time, courteous, quick and very professional. Will definitely call Pumphrey Plumbing again if/when we have plumbing concerns in the future. read more

Best plumber hands down. These guys came out and hammered out a crucial leak to my house. Def saved us and where very professional and accommodating. Will be using them again for sure! read more

Called on Monday morning, Pumphrey plumbers arrived at the earliest time - within 2 hours of call. Thorough investigation of problem - professional, knowledgeable, and gave me the answer I needed which was that there was not a plumbing issue, but an appliance issue. I knew this could be the case but I have so much confidence in Pumphrey Plumbing, I would rather start with them, and then decide what my next step would be. Totally satisfied. This was about the 10th time I have called on them over the years - showers, broken toilet tank, leaking toilet connections, new water heater, leak in basement ceiling from refrigerator, new sump pump, estimate and installation of washer in new space, new hardware on sinks, new sink grinder, always HONEST, GREAT KNOWLEDGE, PROMPT, REASONABLE PRICES (lower when I looked at averages) I have recommended Pumphrey Plumbing to all my neighbors and anyone I know. They are the BEST! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Pumphrey Plumbing. Jack is always on time, fair and does a quality job. As a REALTOR®, I refer them often to clients, and they never disappoint. As a homeowner, he is the only plumber I call. read more

I've had to use their services a few times over the past 5 years for both major and minor repairs. They have been prompt, professional, polite, and reasonably priced. Highly recommend them! read more

Excellent customer service. Called last minute for an emergent they got me in same time showed up on time and didn't over charge me for the work read more

I had a small leak in my basement which turned out to be the poly blue pipe which goes to the main water line. They provided a quick estimate which was more than reasonable and scheduled the repair at my convenience. The day of the repair Jack and his team were fast and efficient. They provided quality work and I have had no further problems to date. Excellent workmanship and customer service! Highly recommend. read more

Yes! I chose this company!!!!! Best decision for my home in Severna Park. Excellent service, caring follow-up, unimaginable service and explanation to my dart-like novice questions with no worry of competition or stupid questions. I have even called twice since the water main replacement regarding other matters... good and honest responses that yielded him no further business for the matter I was asking. He simply said... "you do not need this," and directed me to the county who took care of my issue. I do not know how it gets any better than this. Seriously. Thank you, Jack! read more

Jack is professional in all business transactions. He actually answers the phone when you call! Huge plus! He returns phone calls too. Jack repaired my major "big blue" poly pipe for a fair and reasonable price. He was there early, did the job quickly and even adjusted the price after assessing that the job was less labor intensive than he had suspected originally. Amazing-I am a new home owner and I am "pumped" to have found an honest plumber locally! Thanks Jack! read more

This company made my whole year! After everything that has happened this year my main line gets clogged and ruins half my house! They came on time, found out the true problem, gave me the best quote, finished the work ahead of schedule and even helped me with some minor odds and ends in my home that I had issues with!! They have my business forever! They were very professional and very knowledgeable, I wouldn't trust anyone else now! Thanks again!! read more

Absolutely wonderful company to work with. Professional, courteous, responsive, and trustworthy. Would absolutely recommend Jack and his team for any and all plumbing jobs! Such a pleasure to work with! He went above and beyond for us. Had a mess of a job to do ripping up our concrete slab and moving a washer drain. We had piles of concrete and dirt in our kitchen. At the end of the job, you couldn't find a single spot of dirt anywhere! It was amazing! Thankful to have used Jack and now have a trustworthy plumber for any future plumbing needs!! read more

Great service and extremely helpful! They explained the situation to me in simple terms and fixed everything quickly. Very happy with my experience here. read more

Honest company! I have used this company twice now. Both times they were able to send someone out that afternoon, with no hidden charges. They patched a simple leak in my basement after I was told by another company, that morning, that all the pipes in my entire house had to be completely replaced! Very nice, knowledgeable and so helpful without any feeling of "sales" or being taken advantage of whatsoever. read more

I called Jack Pumphrey Plumbing & left a message after 10pm Saturday night when I realized my pipe underneath the basement had busted. I was pleasantly surprised when he called me about 9am Sunday morning & promised to come by about 11am. He came when he said he would and temporarily bypassed the main pipe so the leaking could be stopped & water could be supplied to the house. He scheduled me for the Tuesday & came by & did a fantastic job. Thanks so much Jack! I'll recommend you to anyone who needs plumbing services! You're the best! read more

Never use Pumphrey Plumbing for any of your plumbing needs or issues. Jack Pumphrey, owner of Pumphrey Plumbing is incompetent and unprofessional. Below thoroughly explains the issues I had with him and the lack of attention to detail. Back in September 2016 I experienced a water leak in my main water line. After speaking to the Anne Arundel County Water Company about my options they suggested I use Pumphrey Plumbing to fix this issue. I gave Jack Pumphrey a call and he found the leak; repaired it and then left. I thought that was easy until later the day the leak continued, so I called him back to assess the new issue. After coming back a second time he found my water main line had more holes in it than just the original hole previously repaired, so on September 14, 2016 he repaired my whole water main line. I thought that would be the last time I would see Jack, but after being out of town for a month I returned home to find a good portion of my basement covered in water. The water in the basement came in from the old water main line in my basement cement wall. The reason for this was because Jack never sealed the old hole, allowing water to find the path of lease resistance and entering my basement. I thought water in my basement was my only problem but when Jack fixed my water main he used a back hoe to dig a hole and tore up a sprinkler line. Instead of fixing the sprinkler line he just covered it up with dirt and left. I called Jack to fix the issue in my basement so that water would no longer enter through the old water main line he failed to seal the first time. He came back over and capped off the old line and before leaving I told him I was going to file an insurance claim with my homeowners insurance and I needed his insurance company. Jack reluctantly gave me his insurance company and asked if he could just give me $500 in cash to not file an insurance claim; I quickly declined his request and filed that claim immediately. I told Jack about the sprinkler line he broke, but instead of having him fix it I called true professionals, my sprinkler company to fix it because I knew they would fix it correctly. I recently returned home again from being out of town for awhile and found water leaking through the new water main line Jack put in for me back in September 2016. I never contemplated on calling Jack to repair this problem because I am absolutely fed up with him and his poor work, so I called Alpha Plumping. Matt from Alpha Plumbing showed up today (January 13, 2017) to fix my new issue. Matt dug a hole to expose the newly repaired water main line and discovered the new line was never encased properly, in a PVC pipe through my basement cement wall. Matt informed me that in his 12 years as a licensed plumber he has never seen another plumber cut such a crucial corner that Jack Pumphrey cut when he repaired my water main line. Matt had to cut a 3 foot section of line out so he could drill an inch and a half hole through my basement wall to put a section of PVC pipe through it. After that Matt was able to fit a 3' section of copper pipe through the PVC pipe to connect it to the water main line. Matt properly sealed the water main line by placing tar around the pipe outside and around my basement foundation. Then he put silicon around the water main line inside the PVC pipe, and then sealed it off completely with cement. Matt gave me the guarantee that I would never have a water leak again. He also told me that Jack Pumphrey never had his work inspected by a plumber inspector, as required by law, because no inspector would have approved Jack's initial work. Jack never cut an inch and a half hole into my basement wall to fit a PVC pipe through it to put the water main line inside of it. According to Alpha Plumbing this huge oversight could have easily been avoided had Jack cared about doing the right thing the first time. I was given a lifetime guarantee for the water main Jack originally fixed, but what good is a lifetime guarantee if the reason you are having issues is because of the shortcuts taken by the issuer in the first place? With all that said I have plenty of pictures to prove all of Jack's mistakes and oversights. I hope this never happens to anyone else and the only way for people to never experience this huge headache is to never call Pumphrey Plumbing for their plumbing needs. Jack is not a professional and deserves to have his plumbing license pulled. I wish I knew why he cut so many corners when repairing my water main line, but he can only answer that question. For your Plumbing needs call Alpha Plumping and never give Pumphrey your business. Shawn Goletski read more

We had a leak in the bathroom that we just couldn't determine the source of. A friend recommended Pumphrey Plumbing, so I called to see if they could help. Our timing must have been perfect, because they were here in under two hours and found the source of the problem in a half hour or so. They couldn't fix it that first day, but promised to come back early the next week to fix it - or sooner if possible. They called the next afternoon, and came right over. They fixed the problem, cleaned up the mess nicely, and were friendly and helpful, explaining exactly what the issue was and how they would fix it. I'll use them every time I can! read more

PUMPHREY PLUMBING came to my house to troubleshoot a leak and pulled up my toilet and FLOODED MY HOUSE. After I got done moving things that were pulled out of the way during this catastrophe, I tried using my Rainbow vac to be sure they got up all the water....AND THEY DID NOT, SO I CALLED THE PLUMBER AT 5:45PM and told him to send someone back that night to remove the water before MOLD sets in. He said that they had removed all the water and that no one would be coming back that night. I told him they had NOT REMOVED ALL THE WATER, since I was still picking it up with my Rainbow Vac, and asked him to come with stronger equipment, so that MOLD wouldn't develop. He had someone call me to make an appointment for the next day. I called him back and told him I need the cleanup THAT NIGHT SO THAT MOLD DOESN'T DEVELOP, since my online research showed that MOLD CAN DEVELOP WITHIN 24 HOURS OF THE WATER DAMAGE. He told me that MOLD would not develop that soon. I WARNED HIM THAT I MAY HIRE A LAWYER TO GET MY MONEY BACK, SINCE I WAS GOING TO HAVE TO PAY FOR A MOLD REMEDIATION COMPANY, since my Rainbow Vac wasn't powerful enough to pickup all the water. He told me to CALL A F*&#KING LAWYER THEN. I hung up the phone. What kind of reputable plumber #1 pulls up a toilet without shutting off the Water Main? And #2, what kind of reputable plumber that floods your house, won't respond to their customer, to totally remove the toilet water, they have just poured all over their house? BEWARE FOLKS! DON'T PUT YOUR HOUSE AND HEALTH (MOLD) AT RISK BY HIRING PUMPHREY PLUMBING! I REALLY WISH SOMEONE HAD WARNED ME! Hope this REVIEW Helps Someone Else. read more

I called LEN the Plumber initially. The quote was shocking. I shopped the quote and found Jack Pumphrey. He (and crew) came out on a Sunday and saved me over $2,000. I highly recommend. read more
