Top Rated Plumbers in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania
Agentis Plumbing
2678 Butztown Rd, Bethlehem, PA 18017, USA
(610) 632-7902Tyler and Zach did a phenomenal job at my place. Very knowledgable. I called around 12 PM on a Friday and they were at my door within an hour. I had two clogs one in my main line and one in my drain leaving the kitchen. They came in with a camera and a snake and got it done in just a few hours. They even refitted my trap under my laundry sink that had a minor leak. And replaced a plug on my sewer for easy access. It was also a very reasonable price. Thank you Agentis for the great service!
3 months agoOur appointment was for late afternoon or the next day, but Patrick showed up not long after we called, to unclog our tub drain. He worked hard but had to call in their drain expert, and they were able to clear an extremely stubborn clog that even chemicals could not clear. They were very polite, professional, and careful to keep our home clean and sanitary. We have been trusting Agentis for decades. They give you an estimate up front and prices are reasonable, including appropriate discounts.
3 months agoWe had issues with a backup from our kitchen sink leading to a clog in our basement sink. Our technician Luke was extremely knowledgeable and was able to fix the problem immediately. Luke and the Agentis team were very reassuring and responsive. Highly recommend!
2 months agoElek Plumbing
2186 Community Dr, Bath, PA 18014, USA
(610) 432-7001I’ll try to keep this review short although I could easily write pages of positivity and accolades. I’m currently at a friend’s home recovering from a serious femur fracture. My house sitter called to let me know that all drains in the house were clogging and the toilet would not flush. I called Elek (now my “go to” plumbing company)and they promptly sent Jody to check out the issues. She found the problems and while on FaceTime, clearly explained everything to me along with solutions. Some relatively simple fixes and others a bit more time consuming. Both the toilet, bathroom sink and kitchen sink have had off and on problems for at least 18 years with quick fixes by other companies that did not last. Finally Jody solved the mystery! Knowing my situation (needing to use a walker and cane)she suggested a comfort height toilet (which I’ve never heard of), and to replace my non-working garbage disposal which was a big reason my kitchen sink drain never fully drained. Jody was patient with me and helped me to choose the toilet and disposal from afar. Within days she was back to install the toilet (it arrived from a big box store cracked) so she took care of that calmly and went and got another toilet from Elek’s warehouse with the same specs the same day! All sinks and a new toilet running well! Talk about above and beyond!!! Her kindness, knowledge, ability to think on her feet, and patience were a gift during a difficult time in my life. Thank you Jody and the staff at Elek as well. Erin Goga
3 months agoAmazing experience. Elvis was extremely professional and explained everything that he was doing along the way. I am amazed that I called at 1:00 today, Elvis was on site by 2:30 and my leaking hot water heater was replaced and running perfectly by 6:00. You have new customer for life. Well done. Thank you.
4 months agoOutstanding fast,, polite and fair service. 4th I have used Elek Plumbing and they are wonderful. Orion was my technician today and he was quick but also made sure that the next step that I need done was addressed.
4 months agoPlumbing Pros
1706 Washington Blvd, Easton, PA 18042, USA
(610) 686-9490I want to thanks Sal, Chris specially Sam from Plumming Pros. Monday morning we found sewage backed up in our basement. Unfortunately right after a major snow storm had blanketed NJ with 2 feet of snow. I thought there was no way someone would come out right away. So I got on my phone and googled searched for plumbers near me. I came across Plumbing pros and gave them a call. They answered right away and thankfully had a tech on call. Within a few mins I had a text from the tech. In the message was a picture of the tech and text letting me know he was on his way. Within the hour he was knocking at our door step. Well mannered, polite and friendly. Sam to got to work right away. First putting on booties to keep our floor clean. I showed him to the basement and he got set up. Laying out tarps and garbage bags to keep things neat and orderly. As he moved the camera down the pipe looking for the problem he took pictures along the way. He kept me informed the whole way and even let me look over his shoulder as he worked. When he knew what the problem was he called his owner and confirmed what he saw… broken pipe and tree roots blocking the pipe. He worked up an estimate and had financing available. Knowing the urgency, they got me scheduled right away. By Wednesday morning they started digging. I was impressed with the safety measures taken around and in the hole. Safety fencing around the hole site and metal boxes to hold the walls up. Thursday the new pipe was in and even got it inspected the same day. We were back up and running by Thursday night. I was impressed with how everything was handled start to finish. I know who I’ll be calling and recommending to everyone for their plumbing problems. Thank you again!
2 months agoAutumn in the office and then Sam the Plumber Man got my shower drain and bathroom sink all sorted quickly and efficiently. Sam did a great job explaining the entire process and super friendly and was easy to talk to. That counts for a lot when you hire someone who’s entering your home to repair something. Great job and we’ll definitely be using Plumbing Pros again. A++
2 months agoPROS - Ok from the start, Autumn who set everything up was AWESOME! The technician Landon, did a GREAT job with explaining everything to me and finding out the issue I had going on. CONS - They are a little pricey, BUT you get what you pay for.
3 months agoTommy Malozi Jr Sewer, Drain, and Plumbing
1960 Troxell St, Allentown, PA 18109, USA
(484) 264-2130He was able to get to my home really quickly and take care of the sewer line issue. He explained everything as he did the job while answering my questions on how to prevent future issues, etc. I highly recommend him for your plumbing needs.
6 months agoIf you want honest, dependable, and skilled plumbers then the Malozi father and son team is the best. They did some kitchen work for me and did not leave till I tested everything and was satisfied. They also offered free advice on things I had questions about. Just really skilled, honest, and fair priced. A rare find in the plumbing world.
11 months agoTommy and his nephew were very gracious in helping us on a Friday night with our sewage pump in our basement. The Malozi's were the initial installers of said pump many years ago, Tommy took time out from a family celebration, patiently described how to resolve the problem over the phone and we later completed the task and of course it worked and fixed our issue. I can't tell you how helpful this was in our situation and the fact that Tommy took the time to explain the solution to us was beyond what we expected. This company was helpful, knowledgeable and, friendly during our initial install years ago and went the extra mile to help us again with an issue years later. I highly recommend them since they take care of all their customers in the same way and we truly appreciate their efforts.

Raymond was very prompt and professional, showing up right on time and quickly figuring out what was wrong with our water heater. He explained everything clearly in simple terms, which made me feel confident in the repairs. We scheduled the replacement, and on the day of the job, Raymond reached out to let us know he could arrive earlier than planned. He and his coworker showed up on time, worked efficiently, and got our water heater replaced at a fair price. I really appreciated how patient Raymond was, especially with my elderly family members. I’ll definitely call them again for any plumbing needs and would recommend them to friends and neighbors.

3 months agoThe Plumbing Genius
4937 Coatbridge Ln, Walnutport, PA 18088, USA
(610) 590-3482I had a great overall experience with Plumbing Genius today. They were punctual and very professional. They were able to successfully clear our drain line and now we can wash clothes again without the risk of our drain lines overflowing. We also saw they install and service water filtration systems. We asked them if they could exchange the filter for our water softener and they were able to do that as well while they were here at my home. They earned a customer for life and when (not if) I ever need a plumber again, I will not hesitate to call them.
7 months agoOutstanding service... twice now! We’ve used The Plumbing Genius two times for unrelated issues, and both experiences were fantastic. Most recently, they came out at 10 PM and had the problem fixed within an hour. They were prompt, professional, and extremely helpful. We especially were grateful that they explained every step of what they were doing, which gave us real peace of mind. They also cleaned up everything before leaving. Truly top-notch service!
7 months agoMy husband and I are so very grateful that we found The Plumbing Genius! They came to give a same-day estimate to replace our hot water heater and they installed the same day too!! The water heater was replaced very fast and we were surprised! We thought the job would take several hours and I think they finished in 90 minutes! Hauled off the old water heater and cleaned up the area they worked in. Very reasonable with the price for all of the work they did. We highly recommend The Plumbing Genius!!! We’ve been telling our family and friends about their excellent service!! Thank you so much!!

(610) 351-9889I have used Robinson Plumbing twice within the last couple of weeks and their service is worthy of 5 stars. On time, and very thorough explanation of the service and process of the job. I had a whole water filtration system installed and the system is installed neatly and quickly. I was even luck enough to get same day service!!! I will definitely use them again.
5 months agoBen was great. He did everything he could to help get the frozen pipe thawed. And he also checked in with me the next morning! Finally, the cold water pipe thawed and was going strong (the hot water pipe had been ok). All the plumbers and their apprentices that have been to my home (for whatever plumbing reason) have been great….Always courteous, friendly, thorough and they all informed me of what’s going on. I highly recommend Robinson Plumbing and continue to do so with my friends and acquaintances.
3 months agoMy experience with Robinson Plumbing was excellent. Ben was the plumber who did the work. He was able to get to my house earlier than expected and did a great job with removing my leaking water heater and replacing it with a new water heater.

7 months agoBack in September, I had a leak in my second floor bathroom between the ceiling . So I had to call a plumber Did some research and called favazza plumbing Mike came out and fixed the leak Which I really appreciate . So While Mike was here on that call and he got done. I asked him if he would be interested in putting all new plumbing in my house because my house is over 100 years old. He looked everything over and said yes he could do it. so today on December 12, 2025 Mike and Jake returned to my house to redo all the plumbing. They put all new pecks piping throughout my house . And it wasn’t an easy job because I have a crawlspace between my kitchen and the basement, which Jake crawled in there and redid all the piping to my kitchen sink, which I really appreciate .. So from this point on if I ever have any plumbing work that needs to be done I will always call Mike and Jake because they did an absolutely fantastic job!!!
4 months agoThe service we received was exemplary.

Common Drain Issues in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania
Hard Water Mineral Buildup: Bethlehem and the surrounding Lehigh Valley are known for relatively hard water. Over years of use, calcium and magnesium deposits can accumulate inside your pipes, narrowing the passage and causing stubborn clogs that a simple plunger can't move.
Historic Pipe Corrosion: In the older neighborhoods of North Bethlehem, many homes still utilize original cast iron or galvanized steel piping. These materials are prone to internal scaling and rusting, which creates a rough surface that catches hair, soap scum, and food particles, leading to frequent blockages.
Mature Tree Root Intrusion: The beautiful, tree-lined streets of Bethlehem come with a hidden cost: aggressive root systems. Roots from older maples and oaks often seek out the moisture in sewer lines, cracking pipes and causing major backups that require professional hydro-jetting or snaking.
Basement Flooding and Runoff: With Bethlehem’s hilly terrain and Pennsylvania's heavy rain cycles, basement floor drains are often the first to back up. If these drains aren't kept clear, a heavy storm can quickly lead to localized flooding in your lower level.
Kitchen Grease Accumulation: In a city that loves its food, from the South Side's diverse eateries to home-cooked family meals, grease is a common culprit. Fats and oils poured down Bethlehem drains solidify in the cool underground pipes, creating dense clogs that require professional grade equipment to clear.
Seasonal Drain Maintenance Tips for Bethlehem, Pennsylvania
Spring Thaw Inspection: As the ground thaws in the Lehigh Valley, check your basement and outdoor area drains. The shifting soil can sometimes stress older pipes, and spring rains often reveal clogs that went unnoticed during the winter.
Summer Root Maintenance: Tree roots are most active during the Bethlehem summer. If you have large trees near your sewer line, mid-summer is the ideal time for a preventative camera inspection to catch root intrusion before it causes a full backup.
Fall Debris Clearing: Before the first Pennsylvania snow falls, ensure your exterior yard drains and gutter downspouts are free of Bethlehem’s famous autumn leaves. Clogged exterior drains can lead to water seeping into your foundation during winter freezes.
Winter Freeze Prevention: When the temperatures drop in the Christmas City, ensure your pipes are insulated. Standing water in a clogged drain is much more likely to freeze and burst than a clear, free-flowing pipe.
Average Drain Cleaning Costs in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania
The cost of drain cleaning in Bethlehem typically ranges based on the location of the clog and the equipment needed. A standard sink or tub snake is on the lower end, while main sewer line clearing or hydro-jetting services for historic homes usually fall on the higher end of the scale.
Frequently Asked Questions about Drain Cleaning in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania
How fast can you find a drain cleaner in Bethlehem?
Since we filter by your zip code and call plumbers directly to verify their status, we can typically find an available Bethlehem pro who can be at your home within 60 to 90 minutes.
Do you have plumbers available in Bethlehem on weekends?
Yes. Our network includes 24-hour Bethlehem plumbers. We specifically verify which technicians are currently on call and ready to work before we connect you, even on holidays or weekends.
Are the plumbers familiar with Bethlehem’s older plumbing systems?
Absolutely. We work with local Bethlehem professionals who have extensive experience with the cast iron and clay pipes commonly found in the city’s historic North and South Side neighborhoods.
What is the most common cause of sewer clogs in the Lehigh Valley?
In Bethlehem, the most common issues are a combination of mineral scale from hard water and tree root intrusion from the many mature trees found in residential areas.
Is hydro-jetting safe for older homes near the Bethlehem Steel stacks?
For older properties, a verified plumber will typically perform a video camera inspection first. If the pipes are structurally sound, hydro-jetting is a great way to clear decades of buildup, but they will advise you if the pipe is too fragile for high-pressure cleaning.
