In all my years as a home owner from NY, PA, and now in AZ I have never met a more honest person than the owner off Cobra Rooter & Plumbing. Even on a Saturday he honored the coupon with no additional problems or  prices as other charge. The pipes he replaced below the sink were so reasonable that I could not have purchased them from the hardware store not to mention the installation.

I will become a lifetime and loyal customer off this business in the future. and thanks to Angie's list for putting me in contact  with such an honest business and it's owner.

"Why does it cost 2% of the value of the home to get a portion of the pluming fixed? Being an old man on a fixed income I could not afford to get all that was needed done. I hope to afford to pay for another portion some day. Do you know of any way to make plumbing prices more affordable?"

We had a number of plumbers make bids on the job.  Several even refused the job because it was too difficult. 

Several things especially impressed us about Scott from EZ Flow.  First, Scott was very meticulous in his cleanliness.  He always wore boot-covers when he entered our home.  He taped off all of the areas and immediately cleaned up each section.  He was very clear about how he would pursue the work and what sections of drywall would be cut.  While his estimate came is a bit higher than some others, his plan was more sound and practical, plus he matched the competitor estimate.  He delivered on his promise and did a great job.  Everything looks very professional and clean.

Unlike all of the other bidders, Scott had a drywall company that he recommended and supported.  They did a great job patching and texturing the necessary cuts.

The second job was at a nearby rental house where he replaced a water softener.  It looks great and was well priced.

"They replaced my tankless water heater, under sink valves with quarter turn ball valves and three toilets. The price was fair, a little high, but the quality of work and service was excellent. These plumbers know what they are doing. They were timely and had good communication."

"Our recent dealings with the Handyman connection were rough, to day the least. 
We needed a kitchen ceiling mudded and textured after I installed new lights. Since I have never done texturing before, I decided it would be much better to call in someone who has done it before.
Our job was estimated to take about 4 hours, and was set up for a 4-hour period on a single afternoon.   The handyman was 3 hours late and worked 1 hour longer than originally estimated, eventually leaving at 9pm without the job being completed. Of course we had to stay up to clean up afterwards in order to use our kitchen the next day.
The following day, the handyman had scheduled a 10:30 am appointment with us. Yet he did not show up to work until 6pm, without a call, text or any form of contact whatsoever. That was too late for us, so we rescheduled the work for two days later.
Then, two days later, he showed up 30 minutes later than planned.  He worked 6 hours, left for three hours and then returned only to work until 9:30 pm again ? and the job was STILL not complete. And again, we were left with quite the clean-up job
late at night.
Earlier that same evening, we left a message with The Handyman Connection office stating that we absolutely had to have the job finished by the end of the day the next day.   We had a call back from the office at about 8:30 the next morning and
they said that their employee would work on the project all day with no interruption until it was done.  
Right after that call, the handyman showed up and stated that the work should only take a couple of hours. But, at about 1pm, he was still not done and again attempted to leave to go to another job!   At that point we had completely lost our patience.  We ?strongly encouraged? him to stay to get the job done while calling The Handyman Connection management to
make sure that happened.
Finally at 3:00 pm, the job was complete.
Recall: this was mudding and texturing a 10? x 10? ceiling.   A job that was estimated to take 4 hours on an afternoon took 16 hours over 5 calendar days.
I have to say that the final result in terms of quality was actually quite good.  Also, The Handyman Connection honored their original quote, which was very reasonable.   Thanks goodness there was no change to the cost of the job, or I may have completely lost it. 
As they say, "good fast or cheap, pick two".   They were good and cheap, u but not fast (or reliable).

Affordable Plumbers FAQs, answered by experts

In Tempe, slab-on-grade foundations often require concrete cutting for new drain lines, increasing project complexity. Older homes may have outdated pipes like galvanized steel or polybutylene, which can complicate upgrades. Long pipe runs in ranch-style layouts may reduce water pressure, and dense landscaping or hard soil can make exterior work challenging. Assess your home’s age, foundation, and utility layout before planning plumbing projects.

Helpful?

For minor plumbing issues in Tempe, try using a plunger or a hand auger for simple clogs, replace worn washers or toilet flappers, and hand-tighten loose fittings. Always locate your main water shut-off valve before starting any repair. Be cautious with fixtures exposed to the sun, as they can become hot. Avoid chemical drain cleaners, which may react poorly with hard water. For complex issues, contact a licensed plumber.

Helpful?

In Tempe, quality plumbing is evident through steady water pressure, leak-free joints, and the use of materials that withstand hard water and alkaline soil. Pipes should be neatly aligned with secure brackets, and shut-off valves must be easy to access. Outdoor lines need UV protection, and backflow prevention devices are essential. Always confirm that larger projects have passed local inspections and align with Arizona plumbing standards.

Helpful?

Upgrading plumbing in Tempe can enhance comfort by improving water quality with filtration or softening systems, boosting water pressure, and supporting energy-efficient appliances like tankless heaters. Modern plumbing helps conserve water, which is crucial in Arizona’s dry climate, and can make outdoor spaces more enjoyable. Proper drainage and backflow prevention also protect your home during monsoon season, creating a safer and healthier living environment.

Helpful?

In Tempe, plumbing projects can impact electrical, HVAC, or even structural elements. For instance, installing a new water heater may require electrical upgrades, while rerouting pipes could affect HVAC drainage or require roof access. Underground plumbing might cross paths with irrigation or pool lines. Reviewing your home’s blueprints and utility locations before starting helps anticipate and minimize disruptions to other systems.
