Top Rated Plumbers in Lancaster, Pennsylvania
Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Lancaster
518 Running Pump Rd, Lancaster, PA 17601, USA
(717) 384-1610Our garage started flooding at 4am as I was taking my wife to the airport. Turned off the water, drove her there, then came home and called Benjamin Franklin Plumbing and they said they’d be here today ASAP. They had someone on their way here by 10am the same morning, and by noon I had running water again. My technician, Matt, was my hero today. Nothing surprised him, he knew exactly where to look and what to do, and even unclogged the drain just because water was draining slowly. He was patient, informative, and clearly knew his stuff. That made me feel immediately confident, and he got it all done promptly and answered every question. Someone please give that guy a raise. Great service, great turnaround time, and a terrible Saturday that they turned into a grateful Saturday.
3 months agoTodd did a fantastic job when he came out. He explained the process of the work he was doing and was very thorough to ensure it was done correctly. They timely sent out a crew to dig up the pipe that was causing problems. Everyone was very kind and hard working. They were even careful to leave our sidewalk intact, when we had anticipated it being demolished.
3 months agoHector did a fantastic job! Replaced all copper lines, replaced all shut off valves, rerouted a few lines that were not in code, replaced main shut off valve coming in from the street, replaced kitchen faucet, installed a new garbage disposal unit. The list goes on! Now we have peace of mind with no worries on plumbing issues. GREAT JOB!!!
7 months agoJoe The Plumber
780 Eden Rd, Lancaster, PA 17601, USA
(717) 581-7407We highly recommend Joe the Plumber. Joe came out for an after-hours emergency call. He was responsive, direct, swift in diagnosing the issue, and helpful in making a referral when his equipment couldn't reach the blockage. He stayed on to explain the issue to the next plumbing crew and make sure we were in good hands. His team has also been out for prior (non-urgent) issues. Always helpful, always effective. This is the plumber to call!
8 months agoJoe is awesome! We had a basement sewer pump that would not shut off. It wasn't an emergency, but Joe was still able to schedule within a week, and had the service done quickly, and taught me what to look for if it ever happened again. Great prices, awesome people!
7 months agoI strongly and without reservation recommend Joe the Plumber. I had a back up in a basement drain and he was not only incredibly quick to come out, but was on time, courteous, very competent and his rates were outstanding. He understands customer service and cares about the quality of his work. I am usually suspect of 5 star reviews, but he earned it. The hardest and scariest part for me, even having worked in the trades, is knowing I don't know what the possible problems are and you have to trust the person who you're hiring. Joe was honest, no up selling, no scare tactics, just a sincerely skilled plumber who quickly fixed the problem. Will wholeheartedly recommend to friends, coworkers and family. The basement main line was snaked and cleaned and the problem fixed in under 2 hours. I have a new go to plumber hands down!
1 year agoR & B Line Opening Services
1852 Water St, Washington Boro, PA 17582, USA
(717) 684-2844We had just moved into the house and we had a whole house backup. Called our home warranty company, they sent a guy out from another company to run the snakes. One of our toilet flushed still caused the floor drain in the utility room to bubble. The fella suggested we reach out to a service line specialty company that has a camera to further inspect. We got R&B's name from a family member who recommended them. They scheduled and came out first thing the next day. They brought their camera, and quickly found the issue. They said they'll write up their report and have a quote to us within a few days. As promised, we got an email with the details. Prices were very reasonable, and thank goodness we had service line coverage with our homeowners policy (if you're reading this, go make sure your policy has that coverage!), which helped with the cost. They came out on the scheduled date and time, and worked throughout all morning and a good chunk of the afternoon to dig into our garage, remove the collapsed pipe, replaced it, poured concrete, and smooth everything out. They even had drop clothes on our floors as they needed to access our electrical panel a few times and put up plastic covering on the walls and belongings in the garage. It's been about a month since and very happy with everything!
1 year agoThese guys were great. They let me observe the whole process, and although replacing a sewer line is an expensive job, their price was very reasonable given ALL the work they had to do (excavation, plumbing, replacing concrete etc.). R&B are real pros!
10 months agoUnprofessional, un-empathetic and combative! My father is very sick and instead of listening to my father regarding cancelling the service call and providing any type of service, they screamed at him and told him he would be charged a service call fee. Once the invoice was received, we tried reaching to this horrible company and all their lines were “busy” even though the website states they are “open 24 hours 8 days a week”?!?!?!
3 months agoRanck Plumbing, Heating, AC & Excavation
118 N 7th St, Akron, PA 17501, USA
(717) 397-2577Did a Google search because of having a sewer clog. They were able to come out the next day! They truly have excellent customer service, which is hard to find now a days. The price was better then I expected it would be. I definitely will call them again if I need any service they offer. Highly recommend!
1 year agoDespite a raw,rainy day, Nick arrived on time and completed the job that involved outside as well as inside work. He wore shoe covers and laid out a heavy tarp before doing any work. Not a speck of dust or any other trace he was here. Ranck Plumbing has always been reliable. Thanks Nick.
1 year agoWe had Dennis go over our Air Conditioning and he did a great job. He was very pleasant, considerate and made sure everything was in tip top condition. Always a pleasure to work with Ranck and their team, thank you.
1 year agoMaster Plumbing Lancaster
211 N Queen St, Lancaster, PA 17603, USA
(717) 277-9007Our kitchen sink was draining very slowly and nothing we tried worked. Their technician cleared the blockage completely and now it drains perfectly.
2 weeks agoI was impressed by the technician’s expertise and professionalism.
21 minutes agoThe plumber did an excellent job repairing a difficult leak in our kitchen. He worked efficiently and explained everything clearly before beginning the repair. The service was professional, affordable, and completed with great attention to detail. I’m extremely happy with the outcome.
2 weeks agoNeffsville Plumbing, Heating & Cooling Services
1208 Harrisburg Pike Suite 101, Lancaster, PA 17603, USA
(717) 288-9700Everyone I interacted with throughout the entire process was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and professional. During the installation, the technician discovered some unforeseen issues, promptly resolved them, and continued without any interruptions. I highly recommend participating in the maintenance program. We had to get a new furnace and AC unit, during a cold snowy weekend we cuddled in blankets and an electric space heater. John made sure we had our heat back and did it with a smile. Thank you to the 6 gentlemen I came in contract from the first visit, sales visit and installation team. Top Notch job!
3 months agoOur water heater was not heating and was leaking alot. Gabe came out the same day and clearly explained what needed to be done and some options that we had. The pricing was upfront and clear, and it included all taxes and fees so there was no miscommunication. It was a difficult install due to the tight space where the water heater was placed. Gabe recommended that we install a pressure regulator which was also in a tight space. Once a selection was made, a second technician came out to deliver the equipment and they had it all installed within a few hours. They cleaned up after themselves and the install looks very professional. I’m happy with the service and will definitely be using Neffsville again.
3 months agoDavide did a fantastic job. He was on time. He explained everything and showed me my options. He was patient as I thought about the best price and option for me. He did a great job installing my new Delta faucet. The extra was that he was concerned and took care, making sure that I was satisfied. He also also gave me information on services that I might need at a later date. Excellent great job! Thank you, Davide
4 months agoLancaster Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electrical
1184 Enterprise Rd, East Petersburg, PA 17520, USA
(223) 244-2257Our aging high velocity central air system failed and we needed a new heating and cooling system in our home. We had several companies come out and give estimates for replacement systems but in the end we selected Lancaster Plumbing, Heating, Cooling and Electrical (LPHCE) and I am so glad that we did. LPHCE did an excellent job for us from start to finish. Our initial contact Ian supplied us with a wealth of knowledge regarding what our options were moving forward. He took the time to answer all of our questions and made sure to have multiple estimates drawn up before he left our property. He also kindly made himself available via text messaging when we had more questions later regarding our options. The estimate that we received was very fair and I got the sense that LPHCE was going to do everything that they could to secure our business. After considering our options we decided to have mini split heat pumps installed. Ian came out to our property again, this time with installation specialist Rick. They helped us finalize our plans for the installation and directly addressed a few lingering concerns that we still had. A week or so later a well organized installation team made short work of the project over the course of two days. While all of the techs assigned to the job were professional and courteous a special shout out goes to Ben for going up into the attic area and out on the roof to get the job done right. The end result is a system that operates as good as it looks. We are anticipating many comfortable years in our home thanks to the efforts of everyone at LPHCE. We plan to call on them in the future for our heating, cooling, plumbing, and electrical needs. I submit this review as a hardy recommendation to try out their services, particularly if you are in the market for a new heating and cooling system. They are family owned and locally operated. Most importantly they cared about doing the job, and they cared about doing it right.
7 months agoMike D. was excellent. He was punctual, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. I honestly have nothing bad to say. To be transparent, I had another plumbing company out prior to this visit, and while the outcome ended up being the same, I didn’t get the best vibes. Mike was the complete opposite. He took the time to explain everything clearly and thoroughly, which made a huge difference. Despite the cold weather, Mike went outside and removed the vent cap from the pipe in our front yard. He explained that it wasn’t technically up to code, and once he educated me on why, I completely agreed. He then had me flush a toilet so he could watch the water flow and reassured me that everything was moving properly — even showing me visually, which I really appreciated. He made a simple but effective fix by adding ventilation holes to the cap, secured it back in place, and then walked through the house with me one last time. He flushed the toilets again and explained that the remaining issue is the roof vent pipe being covered in snow and ice. I felt very confident in Mike’s work, his explanations, and his professionalism. I would absolutely recommend him and would not hesitate to call again.
4 months agoI had a great experience with Lancaster Plumbing Heating Cooling & Electrical from start to finish. The woman who fielded my call was so wonderful. She was calm, helpful, and kind to say the least. She guided me through the process of intake and setup of service. I could tell she cared about her job and helping others. Today technician Mike D. was dispatched to our house. He was so easy to work with. He had a few questions, took a look at our problem and said what he was going to. He didn’t start anything without clearly stating what he was going to do and made my husband and I feel like he really wanted to fix the problem. At no point did I feel pressure or upselling. He really was there to help and fix the problem. He was great, I highly recommend him. Very knowledgeable and friendly!
4 months agoAnthony & Sons Plumbing
272 Granite Run Dr #1081, Lancaster, PA 17601, USA
(717) 423-3149I had an amazing experience with Anthony & Sons Plumbing when I had a plumbing emergency early one morning. My pipes started backing up unexpectedly, and I needed immediate help. I called and left a voicemail, and to my surprise, Malik got back to me within 20 minutes. By late morning, he and his team were at my house, ready to tackle the issue. From the moment they arrived, Malik and his crew showed real plumbing expertise and knew exactly how to handle the problem. They came fully prepared with all the right tools, and it was clear they were experienced professionals who cared about getting the job done right. Their friendly and helpful attitude made a stressful situation much easier to handle. Not only did they fix the plumbing problem quickly and efficiently, but they also took the time to explain what went wrong and how to prevent it in the future. The pricing was fair, especially given how fast and professional the service was. I really felt like I got great value for my money. If you ever find yourself with a plumbing issue, I highly recommend this company. Their quick response, skilled work, and friendly service make them a top choice for any plumbing needs.
5 months agowe've relied on anthony & sons plumbing for all our plumbing and heating needs for several years now, and they always deliver top-notch service at unbeatable prices. norman has handled everything from annual boiler maintenance and installing a new boiler and burner, to putting in a new hot water tank, capping off gas lines, and fixing leaks. we're even planning to have our well tank replaced soon. even when we've needed to make changes to our original plans, norman has managed to get everything installed quickly—sometimes just days after we called. the quality of the work is excellent, and we've never had any issues. truly one of the best plumbing teams in lancaster!
4 months agoGerald did an excellent job with our plumbing project in Lancaster. He installed a tankless water heater, updated all the piping, and moved the water heater to a better spot in our home. Gerald carefully explained the different options available and made sure we understood why certain choices were best for our situation. He made sure everything was up to code and finished the work quickly and neatly. We really appreciated that he even came out on a Saturday to make sure we had hot water again as soon as possible. The pricing was very fair, and I would definitely recommend him for any plumbing needs!
5 months agoHouseal Plumbing
637 W Market St, Marietta, PA 17547, USA
(717) 278-6785We had an emergency lastnight and called houseal plumbing ..they came out and found that the sewer pipe was broken outside under the sidewalk..they came back this morning and fixed the problem..the guys did an amazing job. Both last night and today. I highly recommend them. THANK YOU..
5 months agoMy father in law, Donald Seibert, reached out to Dan Houseal in regard to his snow removal services during the recent snow storm. Their snow removal services were prompt, professional, and beyond reproach. I highly recommend Dan and the Houseal plumbing team for any services you may be in need of. They are the best!
4 months agoI had this company come out to replace our Sump pump. The price was fine and they did the job however we asked them to take a look at our shower as the water pressure was extremely low and hard to control the temperature. They informed me they would need to order a shower cartridge and call me the following Monday to set up an appointment to have it changed. No call came Monday, I called them the next day to see if they had an update and they said the service manager would call me later that day, no call came Tuesday. I called again Thursday and was told again a service manager would call me later that day to set up an appointment, no call came Thursday. I called the next Monday and Wednesday and were told the same thing each time. Its one thing to have to wait for a part to come in, but to completely lie to a customer and leave them in the dark regarding a request is crazy business practice even if the part is delayed you need to set reasonable expectations for your customers, I would suggest you don't trust this business to keep their word.
3 months agoReplacementzone Plumbing
262 Upper Valley Rd, Christiana, PA 17509, USA
(610) 842-6372I had an outstanding experience with Replacementzone Plumbing when my washing machine hook up could not be done by the people who delivered it. Their team was incredibly responsive—I cannot remember exact called on a Wednesday morning, and they had a technician, Sam at my house within two weeks. Sam was prompt, courteous, and professional. He took the time to clearly explain what was causing the issue and outlined a few different options for repair. The process was transparent, and I felt completely informed. He quickly and efficiently fixed the problem, and I was especially impressed by how respectful he was, laid down tarps to protect the floor and thoroughly cleaned up afterward. The pricing was fair and competitive, and there were no surprise charges. I now have his number saved and will not hesitate to call Replacement zone Plumbing Sam for any future issues. I would absolutely recommend their services to anyone in the [Pennsylvania] area. Thank you for the incredible work!
8 months agoAbsolute professional in every way. Sam was courteous, punctual and very friendly. The craftsmanship was amazing with no mess!
9 months agoOur service call today by Sam is always consistent. Outstanding knowledge and we are always completely satisfied with the results!! Thank you Sam
5 months agoProfessional Drain Cleaning in Lancaster, Pennsylvania
Lancaster is a city where historic charm meets modern growth, but that often means dealing with a complex mix of plumbing infrastructures. From the 19th-century brick row homes in the city center to the newer suburban developments on the outskirts, drain issues are a common headache for local homeowners.

We provide a seamless connection to 24-hour availability so you can get back to enjoying everything the Red Rose City has to offer.
Common Drain Issues in Lancaster, Pennsylvania
Historic Pipe Deterioration: Many homes in Lancaster's older districts still utilize original cast iron or even terracotta sewer lines. Over time, these materials can corrode or crack, leading to frequent scale buildup and stubborn clogs that a simple plunger can't fix.
Tree Root Intrusion: Lancaster’s beautiful, mature tree canopy is a point of pride, but those roots are constantly seeking moisture. In neighborhoods like Chestnut Hill or near Franklin & Marshall College, invasive roots often penetrate old sewer joints, causing recurring backups that require professional hydro-jetting.
Hard Water Mineral Buildup: The water in South Central Pennsylvania is notoriously hard. Over the years, calcium and magnesium deposits can narrow the diameter of your pipes, making it significantly easier for hair, soap scum, and food particles to create a total blockage.
Kitchen Grease in Urban Units: With a thriving culinary scene and high-density living in the downtown corridor, kitchen drains take a beating. Grease and fat disposal often lead to 'fatbergs' in smaller localized lines, necessitating high-pressure cleaning to restore full flow.
Seasonal Drain Maintenance Tips for Lancaster, Pennsylvania
Spring Rain Preparation: As Lancaster transitions out of winter, heavy spring rains can overwhelm basement floor drains. Ensure your sump pump and floor drains are clear of debris to prevent flash flooding during PA thunderstorms.
Summer Root Growth: Roots grow most aggressively during the humid Pennsylvania summers. If you notice gurgling sounds in your toilets during July or August, it’s a sign that roots may be encroaching on your main line.
Fall Leaf Management: Before the first frost hits the Susquehanna Valley, ensure your outdoor area drains and gutter downspouts are clear. Lancaster’s heavy leaf fall can easily clog outdoor drainage systems, leading to foundation issues when the snow melts.
Winter Pipe Protection: Cold Lancaster winters can cause pipes near exterior walls to contract. While not a direct clog, this stress can loosen sediment or cause existing hairline cracks to leak. Keep your home at a steady temperature to maintain pipe integrity.
Average Drain Cleaning Costs in Lancaster, Pennsylvania
Pricing in Lancaster typically depends on the severity of the clog and the equipment required. A standard snake service for a single drain usually ranges from $150 to $250, while advanced hydro-jetting or main sewer line clearing involving camera inspections can range from $400 to $575.
Frequently Asked Questions about Drain Cleaning in Lancaster, Pennsylvania
How quickly can I get a plumber to my Lancaster home?
Because we call and verify availability before we connect you, we often find technicians in the Lancaster area who can arrive within a few hours. We prioritize 'today' service to ensure your home is back to normal as quickly as possible.
Do you cover all zip codes in the Lancaster area?
Yes, we service the entire Lancaster region, including 17601, 17602, 17603, and surrounding Lancaster County communities. Our system filters specifically by your zip code to find the closest available professional.
Is 24-hour emergency drain cleaning available in Lancaster?
Absolutely. We understand that a sewage backup doesn't wait for business hours. Our network includes Lancaster plumbers who offer 24/7 emergency services, and we verify their current 'on-call' status before you book.
Why are my drains in downtown Lancaster constantly clogging?
Older homes in the city often have rough-walled cast iron pipes that catch debris easily. Combined with Lancaster's hard water, this creates a 'perfect storm' for clogs. A professional cleaning can smooth out these issues and prevent future backups.
Will a plumber call me back, or do I have to keep calling them?
We take the work out of your hands. We call the plumbers in our Lancaster network for you. Once we confirm a technician is available and ready to handle your specific drain issue, we facilitate the connection so you don't have to play phone tag.
