The "three-ring" targeted scam is a sophisticated fraud pipeline active across Long Island where corrupt plumbers, predatory mold remediators, and crooked contractors collude to systematically drain a homeowner's finances and insurance payouts. By passing the victim from one trade to another, they artificially manufacture an emergency that escalates a minor issue into a five- or six-figure disaster. They are part of this ring and target elderly disabled people as well. Beware and stay away from hiring this company. read more

I hired Sal Manzo Plumbing to fix a leak, and they replaced a section of pipe for $2,000. Just six weeks later, the same area had another leak. I was then told by them that I needed a completely new sewer line from the house to the street -- a $10,000 job. Before moving forward, I got two second opinions from other licensed plumbers. Both confirmed there were no cracks in the sewer line, and that the recommended $10K replacement wouldn't have solved the issue. I've now hired a different plumber who identified the actual problem and will be replacing the correct section of the pipe -- the real issue -- for $6,700. I feel I was misled and pressured toward an unnecessary and extremely expensive job. I want my $2,000 back for a repair that clearly did not work and failed within weeks. Disappointed and frustrated. I would not recommend this company based on my experience. read more

Let me start out by saying that the service Mike performed was great. He was personable and really was just a cheerful guy. He recommended a flush of the system (which was overdue) as a first attempt to fix our problem and did a great job with it. Unfortunately the issue I had was tricky to diagnose and over 3 days and 3 visits Sal Manzo said they would have to charge $275 additional to call Laars directly and ask them for help on diagnosis, which was declined. Like car mechanics, this field gets diagnostics wrong time to time, it happens. Trying to charge for a re-diagnostic and blaming the customer after 3 attempts is ridiculous. read more

Requested an estimate to install two ceiling fans. Note that wiring has already been prerun for both. First estimate was for a standard height ceiling, $488. Second estimate for a 14ft ceiling was ~$1,300. By comparison, Lowe's charges 180 for a standard install. When I made the appointment I was clear about the height of the ceiling and they insisted on having the parts available to install same day. When the technician arrived he said he needs another person due to the height and would need to reschedule. Frustrating as I stayed home for this appointment. Also, technician was about 1.5 hrs late (original window was 8 am to 1 pm, showed up at 230 ish). Instead of apologizing he said they're just too busy. Called Mister Sparky who I've used before and got a significantly more reasonable quote that also comes with a warranty on the work. Needless to say I didn't move forward as I thought the pricing was way out of scope. I'm sure they probably do good work but based on my experience I wouldn't recommend. Looking at the other reviews I think I dodged one here. read more

The service was amazing, my hot water heater was not working and I had no hot water. I called Manzo plumbing and within two hours they came to my house and fixed my issue. It turns out my hot water heater was 20 years old and they installed a new water heater right on the spot for me and now my hot water is working again. Mike was professional and extremely helpful. I will definitely be using Sal Manzo in the future! Thank you! read more

I would warn all customers to never use Manzo plumbing. They charged me $704 (including tax) for a simple job that took barely 15 minutes. We needed three outdoor water faucets replaced. When he told me the estimate (he originally quoted an unbelievable $1200 but did me the great 'favor' of reducing it by half), I agreed because I thought he would have to reconstruct the faucets and the pipes leading to them. Instead he simply unscrewed the valves and screwed on new ones ($12 each at Home Depot). Time spent: 15 minutes. If only I'd known it was that easy and simple. I feel like a sucker. That would price his labor at nearly $1400 per hour, for the easiest job possible! When I later called and complained, they gave me all of a 10% discount, $70, which they had advertised anyway. Their bill was still absurdly high. They did not even claim travel time, which would also have been unfair and still grossly overpriced There is little that an exploited customer can do except help others avoid this kind of scam. My advice is STAY AWAY MANZO PLUMBING. read more

Incredibly unprofessional, if there was 4 feet of water in my house and this was the last plumbing company on earth I would sit there and drown, zero customer service, Bad attitudes!!! read more

Do Not Call this company for anything. had simple plumbing issues that needed to be fixed. tech came out to my home and was only interested in turning a small fix into a major project. he quoted me an amount well over $1,200 for 2 things he wanted to do. after i excused him from my home i went to local hardware store and spoke to the owner who's a plumber . he said i needed a new washer 40 cents , and a new faucet 60 dollars.. installed myself everything works great now.... chris read more

The woman on the phone was understanding about my gripes and refunded my initial deposit. That made me happy!

Too expensive. Spent over $3K for a service that was done well and timely. Had two other issues soon after and balked at the $80 fee for an estimate for a potential $5K+ job. Told them they were just here and that I want to be a future customer. Was told that they'd consider waving the $80 fee, and they would call back. Nothing, never called. Called another local plumber who came and fixed one issue for free and gave me an estimate for the other job. Yes, Sal Manzo is what's wrong with the plumbing business. read more

My shower was dripping pretty badly from the shower head. He came over and said that I needed a new cartridge inside the shower handle, (the part costs $35) He said it it's $595 to install it and another $150 to turn off the main water valve to the house. Over $700. It took less then 10 min. When I said that's crazy he said then give me $159 for coming to the house. He was pushy!!!! STAY AWAY, THESE 2 MANZO BROTHERS ARE GREEDY AND TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE!!! Disgusting!!!!! read more

Unfortunately, had to use this company because the management company that runs my property called them to my unit. Complete and total rip offs! Water was leaking into my neighbors' garage from my tub. Turns out my waste pipe had to be replaced. The guys were here maybe three hours, an hour was just "checking for leaks." when the job was done. Received a quote in the mail for almost 1400 bucks. I work in a residential building in Manhattan with over 270 units and we use a master plumber, who has been servicing NYC for over 40 years, me thinking I was probably being a little exaggerated over the price I had him look at the invoice and he confirmed that I was ABSOLUTELY being ripped off. Please avoid using this company at all costs. Like the previous reviews stated, only if this is a last resort! read more

I used them a few times in the past they weren't bad. Last two times I used them for a leak in my kitchen faucet (the faucet I only had for 1 year) mike came first tried to fix the leak by tightening faucet handle to the sprayer. That didn't work still had a leak and still had to pay the $86 service fee. I called back scheduled another appointment to try to fix the problem once more. This time Kent came I explained where the leak was coming from, and without him actually looking at anything he recommended replacing the faucet which would cost $650. Needless to say I declined and still had to pay $86 for Kent to come and not even look to see where the leak was coming from. I would honestly only use these guys if it's a last resort. read more

We called Sal Manzo Plumbing yesterday needing a shower faucet valve and inside toilet tank parts replacement. Mike Manzo came after we agreed to pay $109. for an estimate we we decided not to go with them. They charged us $956. with a discount. We made a poor choice going with them. The shower valve was not a Koehler valve thus leaving handle crooked. The toilet repair still left making loud noise. When leaving, they advised no warranty on shower faucet and one year on toilet insides. We are seniors living on a budget. We made a poor choice and never made a review. But we feel Manzo Plumbing is extremely overpriced and the work was substandard. We have had many plumbers over the years, with fair prices and excellent work. Sorry this is not the case read more

Rip off go elsewhere. We called and told them the issue plus the part that had a leak for the radiator and asked for a estimate, the two men came and said it's not the original part they thought it would be which is fine. Then they stated it would $4XX including the part. Paid the $80 fee to show up. Called another licensed plumber and guess what $290 including the part. read more

Professional and quick. Easily replaced our old hot water heater valve that needed to be updated. I called on Monday, got an appt on Tuesday and the work was completed at the appt. read more

I will first say that I was quite pleased with Sal Manzo and the way he presented himself to me. He talked highly about his work as well as his treatment of customers. My friend and I, both combat veterans, happened to run into Sal at a county office. Well, the man he claimed to be, he was not! Sal's work is substandard, but that is not what bothers us the most. Sal did not deliver in quality, price, and most damaging, his unprofessional behavior. Sal is everything that is wrong with the plumbing business, and should be both embarrassed and ashamed. I would normally just walk away from a man who does business like he does, but since Sal has decided to price gauge and work against us; even so far as going behind our back to the town......he has revealed himself for the awful person he is. Therefore, I will make it my personal obligation to reveal to the rest of the veteran community and the general public how they must steer clear of doing any business with Sal Manzo Plumbing. Heed my warning, unless you enjoy being lied to, over charged, and then to become the scrutiny of the local government afterwards, once he begins a smear campaign against you. Good job Mr. Manzo. I hope you can look in the mirror. The question you need to ask yourself is, "Am I an honorable man"? You can lie to yourself, but when you put your head on the pillow, your conscience will keep you up at night. Beat of luck! read more

Total rip off! My toilet was clogged so I called Sal Manzo. They changed me $754 to unclog the upstairs bathroom. They were professional but very expensive read more

I had a leak under my foundation several months ago so I called Sal Manzo plumbing. Joe and Dan came snd did a great job. It turned out there were actually three leaks. Four months ago my kitchen sink pipes collapsed and I couldn't afford to fix it. I knew that it had to Be done before the holidays so I called Manzo plumbing again. This time Chris came. It was a lot more than I Thought it would be but he did a great job and a really clean Job. I was Pretty impressed considering how tight the space was. I will use them when I do my bathroom over in a few months. read more

We live in Wantagh in a levitt house. A domestic hot water pipe burst in floor while we were sleeping. had about two inches of water through out the whole first floor. Called Manzo plumbing. A gentleman by the name of Chris came to estimate. He explained to me since we have tile floors it would be wiser to abandon pipes in floor and run plastic tubing thru ceiling. I was pleased that i did not have to bust up my kitchen floor tiles. The crew was professional clean and on time. This company was professional from the beginning. Highly recommend. read more

This is a reminder to NOT hire Sal Manzo Plumbing of Wantagh for your plumbing needs. In August 2018, salesman Joe, charged me over $3,000 for a pipe, drain and kitchen faucet, leaving out soap pump and with leak they caused under sink. Also used original rusty clamps to hold new pipe on. Joe came back with Bill into my house to fix soap pump issue, but wanted me to pay more. Called me a liar about faucet was ordered without soap pump, etc. Asked them to leave. I wasn't giving them another penny! I will be posting reminder from time to time so no one else falls victim to this business. Unfortunately I am in Wantagh often and have to see their business trucks and don't get why they even have calls to go to. read more

45 minutes late and cost me $86 for them to walk in my house, look at my bathroom for 3 minutes, and talk to me. The questions they answered for me could have been discussed on the phone when we made the appointment, rather than charging almost $90 for a "service fee". read more

Unreliable even for a quote, I can only imagine the service is equally terrible. Called this company, they came over for a quote, after a couple of weeks I called to follow up, and got an answering service. Then, got a call back saying Mary would call me the next day, no call again. Then when I finally got a call from the owner himself I was told they weren't going to be able to help me out! What a waste of my time to have them come to my house during the covid and risk my family, waste my time and then have them not follow through with even giving a simple quote. If you want an unreliable service, this is your company! Good luck, if they call you back. read more

You never like it when you have to call a plumber. Your toilet is overflowing. You have a leak under your sink. Your pipes are leaking inside the wall and there is mold everywhere. This is what nightmares are made of. Well. That was my life last week. Water gushing out from under the toilet. Not overflowing the bowl. Flowing out from UNDER the toilet. Called a plumber only to find out that the pipe from the toilet to the sewer connector was completely rusted and leaking everywhere. Called Sal Manzo and in just about 3 hours my floor was broken open, the wall cut open and the pipe removed and replaced. All the mold removed. The wall closed. The sink replaced a d the toilet connected. The floor related with concrete. The plumbers from Sal Manzo know their business. They are there when you need them. When you live in a 72 year old house things will break. When they do I recommend that you call Sal Manzo. They're really great. read more

I had to replace my on-demand domestic hot water heater back in December, after it broke down. The owner Sal came to my house to see what I needed. He then had his son respond and set up a temporary electric hot water tank, so my family would have hot water. I wound up using my contractor's plumber (Sandy house lift) because Manzo plumbing was backed up and my wife couldn't wait. Sal Manzo never charged me a penny for the temp water heater he lent me for a week. Great family business that I WILL use again for my plumbing needs. read more

Beware, if there were a -5000 star, I would choose it because this company is a sham and should be shunned. I needed a gas line for a fireplace insert. They told me just the estimate would be $89.00, which no other company I'd spoken with suggested. I decided then not to have them come bc I was not about to waste almost a $100 if they did not meet my needs. I received a call back that the "boss waived the fee." I agreed for them to come, but wish I had stuck to my guns. I then received a text with a pic and bio of Mike, who showed up and parked his huge truck in my driveway where I'd not too long ago installed pavers. I asked him to move it because I didn't want to chance any oil leakages or damages, and besides other family members' cars might need to exit and enter. He responded, "Well, where am I supposed to park?" Duh - I told him on the street in front of my house (where he would have parked if there were no driveway). He did resentfully move his truck. Afterward, he and his associate looked at my living room fireplace and basement where the gas line originated from the boiler. After about 5 minutes he tells me that the job would cost $5 , 0 0 0. 0 0, and they would have to tear open my walls and not repair them after. This is more money than the gas insert, electrician and normal plumbing costs combined would be. I guess he thought I was a new fool, and he really didn't want my business. Good riddance!! But before I deleted their contact info, I didn't want anyone to be deceived by Manzo Plumbing's and Mike's gimmickry - the text with pic and bio, the mats with logo they use to remove their shoes in your home, the painted truck, etc. Beware!!! read more

About 6 years ago I had Sal Manzo Plumbing install my new Navien NCB 240 combo unit. When the plumbers had the inspector come for the permit a few things were not done to code. This unit is a condensing unit which means it needs to drain into a drain pipe. The installers just made a hole and stuck the drain tube though to the outside. They also used regular pvc pipe for the exhaust which is also not to code, it should cpvc pipe. The inspector also said they used too many unions when running the gas pipe. Sal Manzo never returned to complete the job to get it to code. About 3 years later on New Years Eve I arrived home to find I no heat but I had hot water. I called Sal Manzo Plumbing and decided I would bring up why they didn't return to complete the job. The plumber came on New Years Day but didn't complete the repair, in fact after he left I had no hot water either. The problem was the 3 way valve and the plumber said the o rings were not the correct ones so they had to call Navien and have the part shipped over night. Of course overnight means they would not come back with the part for another 2 days. It was the coldest day of the year so I had to go Home Depot and purchase heaters to keep the pipes from freezing. I bought 7 of them to place all around the house. Two days later when another plumber from Sal Manzo came to finish the repair it was determined that the original plumber was not putting the pieces back in the correct order and that's why it was leaking. It was the correct o ring after all. With all that was going on I failed to mention the work that was not done to code. The final repair cost including tax was $564.85 and the 7 heaters that I purchased that I didn't need. Months later my shower knob snapped and the cartridge was stuck inside and needed to be drilled out. Once again I called Sal Manzo Plumbing and this time I would mention the work that was not done to code. The plumber came and made the repair and I told him about the work that was not finished so I could get the permit. He said he would talk to Sal. Of course Sal never called me. Now almost 3 years to the day and I'm having another problem. This time the unit was heating but it wasn't reaching the temperature that I had it set too on the thermostat and I had no hot water at all. I called a different plumber but they could not come the same day so I decided to call Sal Manzo Plumbing again. I made an appointment for later that day but soon after the office called and rescheduled for the follow day. It was snowing so I gave them the benefit of the doubt and waited another day. The plumber arrived first thing in the morning and because the Navien system did not have an error code he needed to call Navien Tech support. The charge just to call Navien was $199. The Navien Tech told the plumber the problem was the 3 way valve, the same part they replaced 3 years ago. The plumber told me the charge to replace the valve was $1199 plus tax plus the $199 call to Navien. 3 years ago I paid $564.85 now they want $1400 plus tax. I called the office and asked to speak to Sal. I would remind him of the work that was not completed and the thousands of dollars of business I have already given him. I wanted to know how in 3 years can the cost for the same repair more than double and another $199 for a 15 minute phone call to Navien Tech support. Since I paid for work that was not completed in the past I felt they owed me work that I already paid for and I would tell Sal I would agree to pay the same amount I paid for the same repair last time. The office called Sal and Sal called the plumber and the plumber told me "Sal said the price is not negotiable, have a nice day" and he left. I watched several videos on YouTube on how to change this part so I went to the local plumbing store and purchased the part. The part was $47 including tax and Sal Manzo wanted to charge me $1400 plus tax. Sal Manzo is a thief and he should lose his license for this. This behavior is nothing short of criminal. He is a wolf in sheep's clothing and I wouldn't recommend him to the devil. So to update you Dowling Plumbing came today and after 10 minutes diagnosed the problem to be the pump. He didn't have to call Navien and even if he did there would not have been a charge. Can you imagine paying Sal Manzo $1400+ and the 3 way valve wasn't even the problem? By the way I asked the plumber from Dowling how much would they charge to replace a 3 way valve and the price was $365. This further proves what a criminal Sal Manzo Plumbing is. read more

I have been a customer of Sal Manzo for many years. I wouldn't think of calling anyone else for service! Joe came for service last week on time and meticulously fixed my leak, shower head replacement and Installed a water filtration system.

Was able to schedule a plumber and have them out as soon needed which was refreshing. Got a phone call from the office 20 minutes before they arrived & they were on time even though it was snowing. Once there I informed them a pipe had burst in multiple locations. The technician found 2 spots, I told them I thought there was a 3rd but he told me he ran his hand along the copper pipe and assured me he felt no other bursts. He gave me a quote of $292 for replacing 10' of copper pipe. I suggested we turn on the water to make sure that we weren't missing any spots & he was still hesitant. I pressed the subject and when I turned on the water and just as I'd thought there was a third burst that needed to be repaired. He quoted me additional $60 for that repair! I tried to ask him if there was anything he could do because he did not find this originally in his assessment & he told me no. I was not satisfied with that answer... Didn't matter. The only redeeming factor was he told me there was a $20 coupon on their website, but that still wasn't enough to cover the additional repair that he missed in his "diagnosis". If you guarantee me you found all the bursts and & I prove you wrong I shouldn't have to pay for something YOU missed... I won't be a repeat customer. read more

I believe the cost of running a business is overwhelming and contributes to inflated prices for routine plumbing repairs. That said I contacted this company and explained to the office person that I had a Lady Lux, Grohe faucet and it need a new water cartridge. I asked if they had this part and I was assured yes. When I inquired as to how much it would be I was told they send a tech to your home and he advises you of your options at a cost of $49.00 . So i agreed and the tech new (title for plumber )came to my home on time. I would also like to say I respect the knowledge and ability of all trades people.. I was toldby the aka plumber that the cost to replace the cartridge was $ 569.00 . That exceeds the cost of an entire new faucet. Then I was advised that they do not carry Grohe and that he could contact the warehouse and the could attempt to locate the needed cartridge.. The tech advised me that if I obtained a replacement from Grohe he could install that cartridge for $233.00. The other option was a new Kohler faucet for 598.00. If I had called and not been clear with what service I needed and told this company does not stock Grohe I would have not agreed to hire them with the diagnostic charge of 49.00. I feel i was baited and attempted to be defrauded over a kitchen faucet. Routine repairs should simply be a simple charge. That said I even had a new cartridge from a previous Lady Lux and was not sure if it fit and the tech looked at it and put it down. I felt like that new commercial on tv where the dentist is looking in the guys mouth and says yep you got a bad cavity and the patient says aren't you going to fix it . The dentist says I am not a dentist I am only an adviser (tech). You have to laugh maybe in the back of the Sal Manzo truck a little old man with screw driver is waiting so if you need a tech call Sal if you need a plumber call a plumber. My suggestion go to amazon order the part for 39.65 check the box for installation and they have contracted to local plumbers to install and for a fair price of 133.95. I was told by the tech that part was 200.00 dollars by the way. This is not a company to call for routine plumbing problems. I took out my old screw driver and my allen key and installed the thing myself it took 20 minutes. Additionally I contacted Grohe and they are sending me a replacement cartridge despite my inability to provide a sales receipt they were horrified that a plumbe/r, tech company would even attempted to charge so much for an easy repair lol I have attached a sound bite regarding the overall experience https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpA4ldGoHRQ read more

AGAIN, NO CALL AND WHEN i CALLED WAS TOLD i WAS ON THE SCHEDULE.When I asked what time and how would I know was told would get a call when on their way.

I take care of an elderly man and he is disabled and on fixed income. The toilet seat broke and we needed a new one for him asap. The guy that showed up reeked of cigarette smoke and had the nastiest attitude. The job took him less than 5 minutes to replace the lid and my patient was charged $216! Just a new toilet seat, terrible service and he had the nerve to try to sell my patient some fluid that he recommended was good to use once a month. All together the toilet seat, installation and fluid was $287. Absolutely ridiculous and greedy for a company to charge people that much. Don't use this companies services. read more

We had gotten several estimates over the course of several months to replace our ailing 35 year old Repco gas boiler and 19 year old Sears water heater .Our review of 5 stars is based on our start to finish experience with Sal Manzo and his entire crew. His years of expertise and knowledge of which boiler would meet our needs to efficiently heat our home along with his patience and honesty was the determining factor in our decision to hire Sal Manzo. My old unit was replaced with a Buderus gas boiler and AO Smith 12 year water heater along with two new thermostats. Mary , his office manager filed all the necessary paper work for permits and rebates.Since we have gas, it is truly comforting to know that all the work being done in our home is to code with all required heights for boiler and water heater along with proper venting ready for the Town of Hempstead's inspection. Sal's plumbers, Kurt and Donald were prompt along with being neat and did a professional installation of all copper plumbing, equipment and any other requirements needed to get my installation up and running properly. They even hooked up a portable water heater so we would have some hot water to temporally accommodate us for 1 night.. Got our new boiler just in time, and have been nice and warm ever since. .Very quiet unit and my new water heater has given us plenty of hot water as well. Hats off to Sal Manzo, as he supplied us with excellent, competitive pricing along with great warranty, rebates and expert installation. Start to finish. Hats off to us as well, we get 5 stars for doing our homework .. We will be recommending and using Sal Manzo for many years to come.... Thanks for a job well done. read more
