Honest reviews from homeowners who chose Phoenician Plumbing for their plumbing needs.
"They did a great job on short notice. The plumber came out even earlier than expected and spent the entire day fixing the original problems, laying new pipes, and then fixing new leaks when the water was turned on. I wish more companies had this work ethic and attention to detail."
"Sewer line was backing up into my basement drain. They ran a camera and found tree roots 40 feet in. Hydro-jetted it clean and it has been flowing perfectly for months. Thorough diagnosis saved me a costly replacement."
"Had multiple slow drains throughout the house. They ran a snake through each one and cleared everything in a couple of hours. Also diagnosed a venting issue contributing to the problem. Very thorough."
