Per Sandstrom

We called Jennings Plumbing out of the blue on a Saturday morning when our kitchen sink was backed up and the clog was out of reach of our snake. Jim was able to come out that same day without an exorbitant emergency service charge. He cleared the line quickly and communicated with professionalism. Same day service at a fair price without trying to up-sell you some protection plan like the bigger contractors. I work in the building industry and appreciate when a plumber or electrician treats a homeowner like a valued customer instead of a consumer.

Jim bailed us out (😁) late on a Friday evening with a blocked toilet. He was really quick to respond, had all the right tools and the knowledge to fix our issues fast. Would highly recommend

I cannot recommend Jim enough. We had a super inconvenient plumbing emergency in our basement on a Friday night. After calling a few places and not getting responses, Jim answered right away and was at our house in less than a half hour. It took quite a bit of troubleshooting to diagnose the exact problem we were dealing with, but he was patient and methodical until we landed on the problem. Even after nearly 5 hours, Jim was working hard on a very stubborn clog. It eventually got too late and we had to settle up for the night, but he assured us that what we paid him for that night would cover the whole job and that he would come back as soon as possible to finish the job. I bet a lot of plumbers would have just left with the money and not been personally invested in coming back, but within a few days he was back at it and got everything sorted out for us. He takes a lot of pride in his work and is overall just a really nice guy. We were really impressed. Thanks so much, Jim!

Clogged kitchen drain on Sunday, called and was given a 8-10am window on Monday. Leroy arrived on time, took a few tries, coming back in with bigger snakes (augur?), until drain was clear. Even then, there was a gurgle noise at the end on drain clearing, so he came back to run the snake one more time to clear that little noise. He was courteous, professional, just an all around good guy. Initial estimate was final price, so they’re good to their word. We’re new to Philly, and are happy to have found our plumbing company going forward. Five Stars!

My experience with Plumbing Pals was wonderful from the start. I knew that I had to replace the hose shut-off valves before I could get a new washing machine. Karissa told me I could schedule an estimate appointment. John Lankelis arrived, and was phenomenal!! He showed me that I also needed to replace the shut-off valves above the laundry sink, which involved some new pieces of pipe. John explained exactly what he would do and what materials he would use. The price he quoted was fair. I was very impressed with his careful and meticulous work. John answered every question I had about what he was doing today, and thoroughly addressed concerns that I had about other things. He also respected my property, working cleanly and efficiently. I want to take good care of my home, and be able to trust the people who work in it. That is certainly John Lankelis. I will enthusiastically contact Plumbing Pals in the future for other work. Thank you for everything.

Highly recommend! John showed up promptly at the beginning of the time window he was expected and quickly worked to resolve the issue with my garbage disposal. They also don’t require you to buy parts through them. He told me exactly what I needed after diagnosing the issue, and then I rescheduled them for a quick follow up return visit once I picked up what I needed from Home Depot. Quick, efficient and everything’s working as intended now.

George Lopez at City Plumbing has the right stuff! He's honest, upfront, & tells you exactly what is going on, whether it will earn your business, or not. My kitchen had a clogged drainage line for weeks. He was able to get my line up and running. I picked up his advice for a professional solution to my new house. He gave me some cold, hard facts about the system I had. This was useful to know. My home insurance covered me less my deductible so the cost was great. He provided me with a follow-up quote for further work. George is great to talk with. He is friendly and likeable. I respect professional men like George. City Plumbing has my trust because of his integrity, hard work, and pleasant personality. This guy is worth calling before you purchase a home. He can tell you the missing plumbing system and what it will require once you have moved in. You can try these.

My sewer line was clogged with tree roots, and I was able to book Priority Plumbing, who came the next day. Auger and then hydro jet to cut and then remove all traces of the roots. Brian and Max did great work, super professional and good guys. I highly recommend Priority Plumbing.

Brian is a gift to homeowners. He is super knowledgeable in his field and is an innovative problem solver. Initially he was called out to us through HomeServ with a suspected municipal water line leak. He was able to troubleshoot that this was not the problem. It was clear we wanted to hire him for whatever had to be fixed to clear up our water in the basement issue. We had him replace our whole sump pump system and sump pit...which is very impressive compared to the contract grade materials that were previously used. We had him Install a water back up pump. He even brainstormed ways to help with our poor drainage issue in our yard. We feel like we finally got our house back thanks to him. He also installed a new bath tub...not cutting any corners. He replaced all piping, added extra wood, concrete etc. to make it more structurally sound. He is our plumber for any future jobs and we trust him whole-heartedly.

We had a major sewer line backup for one of our customers that many companies turned down to step in and help because it was "too difficult". That's when we called Root 24 Hrs Plumbing and they dispatched a crew right away. They were able to clean out the pipe with a special grabbing tool and saved us in a pinch. These guys are nothing short of the best and very professional. Would highly recommend!

Me and my family are relieved! Under the recommendation of Mr. Kirk Caldwell, the CEO of Do It Right Drains and Plumbing, I was able to get a 5 foot clog removed from my water line from a recommended company in Northeast Philadelphia. The service was swift and was priced very reasonably. I regret contacting my home warranty about this and should have contacted the one who was able to do it right the first time. Thank you Mr. Kirk!!!

Kirk is the man! He responded quickly and came out to look at an issue with my vent stack. He and his partner took extra time to troubleshoot the problem, target the leak, and come up with an affordable solution that didn’t involve tearing the whole house apart. Got everything back up and running the same day! Above all that, he believes in great customer service and I highly recommend him for any plumbing work in our area!

Kirk is a true professional who loves his job and values his customers. I called late one night because I suspected that my main water line was frozen from this past weekend and he was extremely kind and immediately let me know that he will try to make it to me ASAP. I knew this is an usually cold season and understood that he had a lot going on, but he made sure to keep in contact with me every step of the way and it made me feel that he really cared and was trying to get to me. Luckily, my line thawed and I no longer needed his services, but he went above and beyond and called me to make sure I was doing ok. As a first time homeowner, it's really difficult to navigate home repairs, and Kirk made it feel friendly and easy, and I will definitely be reaching out for any future repairs!

I can’t recommend P&A enough. They are the only company I call for work in my house from a leaking overflow, fixing and replacing portions of an old sewer stack, and even going through the concrete of our basement floor to fix piping issues. They are professional, prompt, and most importantly honest. They will tell you exactly what to expect and keep you updated as work is being completed. I also know of other people that are using them for bathroom remodels as well and have been very happy with the results. Thank you P&A!

I called P&A out to my home in Drexel Hill to help cut and repair an existing gas line which was solid piped all the way into my dryer which had broken down. P&A installed a code-compliant shutoff valve and a flexible hose so I can get a new dryer installed. Mary in the office was communicative about scheduling, the estimator was clear and articulate about what work was needed, and the crew the serviced the job was efficient. Pretty seamless experience in my view. I’ll call P&A again in the future.

I was in need of a plumber and quick after a pipe burst in my garage. I called a neighbor who recommended P&A. They had availability the same day, did good work, and most importantly did not price gauge me because I needed the work done on the same day. Mary couldn’t have been more helpful and she had someone at my house within a half hour of the call. It was almost magical. I highly recommend them!

Our heating and A/C system had been on its last leg since we moved in 7 years ago. We have been dreading the day we needed to replace it because I thought it would be too much of a hassle and out of our budget. Sunday night we finally decided it was time, so we reached out to the Plumbing Manager at Done Right Today, Bill. We were immediately set up with a no pressure estimate with our Comfort Advisor, Scott. Scott came out at a time that was most convenient for my husband and I, and was informative and genuine. He walked us through the whole process in detail to put our minds at ease about this big project we had put off for so long. He gave us as many options as we asked for (which was a lot) and did not put any pressure on us to make a decision. We knew right away we chose to work with the right company! We placed our deposit on the spot and Scott was able to schedule the installation for the following morning. The next morning, a team of true professionals arrived! Daquan, Gian, and Marc were at our house less than 12 hours after our commitment, on time, and with all the tools and materials necessary to complete the job. The team was so respectful of our home and by the end of the day, we had a brand new high efficiency system that we can enjoy the benefits of for years to come. The best part is, when they left, it was like they were never here. The place looks cleaner than when they arrived. Thank you to Bill, Scott, Daquan, Gian, and Marc! The seamless way your team works together and the professionalism through every step was something all companies should aspire to! It is truly refreshing to work with a company that takes pride in their work and genuinely cares all while being extremely competitive in price! We will be recommending to anyone who asks!

I got a heater from Done Right Today. I called and Richie came out and did an estimate. He was very friendly and knowledgeable and explained to me the 3 different heaters I could get and I chose the double heater. (Lennox.) Great price, the men came and put it in and were very clean and cleaned up after themselves at the end. It runs beautiful, I love it!

Verify Availability Before You Call

Professional Drain Cleaning in Chester, Pennsylvania

Chester's unique mix of historic architecture and modern industrial sites along the Delaware River requires a specialized touch when it comes to plumbing. Whether you are living in a classic Delaware County brick home or a newer residence near Widener University, a clogged drain is more than just a nuisance—it’s a disruption to your daily life. Finding a reliable local plumber shouldn't be an exhausting search of trial and error.

That is where our service changes the game for Chester residents. Instead of you spending your afternoon calling through a list of 15 local companies only to find they are booked until next week, we do the heavy lifting for you. We scan our extensive network of certified Chester plumbers and filter them specifically by your zip code. We then personally call them to confirm they have an opening to solve your drain issue today, ensuring you don't waste a single minute.

Our commitment to the Chester community is about speed, reliability, and local expertise. We understand the specific plumbing challenges of the PA region, from aging sewer lines to seasonal weather impacts. By verifying 24-hour availability and technical capability before you ever pick up the phone, we provide a seamless solution for emergency backups and routine maintenance alike.

Common Drain Issues in Chester, Pennsylvania

Chester’s older infrastructure, particularly in the city’s more historic neighborhoods, often features aging clay or cast-iron pipes. These materials are highly susceptible to internal scaling and structural failure, leading to frequent main line backups that require professional-grade snaking or hydro-jetting to resolve.

The abundance of mature trees throughout Delaware County means that root intrusion is a leading cause of slow-moving sewer lines in our area. As roots seek out moisture, they find their way into small cracks in your pipes, creating massive blockages that can lead to raw sewage backups if not cleared by a professional.

Local hard water in the Pennsylvania region contributes to significant mineral buildup inside residential plumbing. Over time, this calcification narrows the diameter of your pipes, making it incredibly easy for kitchen grease, soap scum, and hair to create stubborn clogs that retail chemical cleaners simply cannot touch.

With Chester being prone to heavy PA rainstorms and its proximity to the river, many basement floor drains are put under immense pressure. If your floor drain is gurgling or backing up during a storm, it is often a sign of a compromised drainage system that requires immediate attention to prevent costly water damage to your home.

Seasonal Drain Maintenance Tips for Chester, Pennsylvania

During the fall, Chester’s heavy foliage can quickly clog outdoor area drains and gutters. Ensure these are cleared before the first Pennsylvania freeze to prevent water from backing up and damaging your home's foundation.

Winter brings the risk of frozen pipes. Insulate any exposed plumbing in unheated basements or crawl spaces. Even a partial freeze can trap debris in your pipes, leading to a major backup once the ice thaws and releases the pressure.

Spring thaw often leads to higher groundwater levels in Delaware County. This is the best time to have a professional check your basement floor drains and sump pump lines to ensure they are clear of winter debris and ready for heavy spring rains.

In the summer, increased water usage from local gardening and outdoor activities can stress older sewer lines. If you notice slow drainage after a typical Chester summer thunderstorm, it may be time for a preventative hydro-jetting to clear out accumulated silt and sand.

Average Drain Cleaning Costs in Chester, Pennsylvania

$150-$475

Pricing for drain cleaning in Chester generally depends on the severity of the clog and the equipment required. Simple snaking starts at the lower end, while advanced hydro-jetting or main line camera inspections may increase the total.

Absolutely. We only work with certified Pennsylvania plumbers who are experienced with the historic plumbing infrastructure and older pipe materials common in Delaware County.

Yes. When we call to confirm availability, we can specifically ask if the technician has hydro-jetting equipment available to handle heavy-duty blockages or commercial-grade clogs.
