Get matched with top affordable plumbers in Pompey, NY

"It seems every year, sewage backs up into my basement. In the past, I would call the city. They would send a truck by to plunge the vent pipe in my front yard and I’ll be good for a year or so. Well, the last time they were called they told me they see an obstruction in the vent pipe that might be causing the clogs, but I would need to call a plumber to clean the lines out. Sunday, it happened again. The city was closed but they could send a truck out Monday. Figuring they would just do the same thing as last time, I searched for a plumber. I used Angie’s list here for the first time and called Do It Right Plumbing. I noted the great reviews and some reviews mentioned pricing to be about $80 per hour. I called the company and mentioned Angies list and their website. They sent out a truck with two guys. They plunged the vent pipe, which cleared the line and we tested the system by running water and flushing toilets just like before. They also found the obstruction in the vent pipe. I was hoping they would run a snake in the line but they said it would cost extra and they were afraid to risk the snake getting stuck. They spent time trying to remove the obstruction in the vent pipe but gave up. They did not have a camera to verify it but did state it was higher up in the vent pipe and should not be the problem. The whole experience was great up to the point he gave me the bill for $297, twice what I was expecting. It was an expensive lesson, but I’ll know better next time - verify the hourly rate before hand!"

"nice guy, nice job"

"I hired Highlander to install a channel drain in front of garage to keep it from getting water in it. The guy showed up with his 16 year old son and dug the trench and laid the pipe very shallowly and left a large open hole in front of my driveway, that was one issue. The second issue was there was no slope to to the pipe. It is straight so the water is not actually draining. The third issue was they cemented the grates onto the the channel drain when they are supposed to be removable so you can clean it. They did correct that and the hole near the driveway they patched with stone, but it is still not pitched properly and the concrete was cracking almost immediately after drying, I asked for the salesman to come back and look at it and asked him if it looked professional, because it didn?t to me or my stepfather who does concrete for a living, and his response was that it did. Well, less than an a year and grates are popping up because the concrete is completely cracked."

"They called me just minutes after I looked them up. Came to my house, I showed them the problem, and they looked at it. They told me the price, went to the store and fixed my problem! Very good customer service."

"All seems good"

"Skye contacted me promptly and set up a time to arrive within a few hours. Was courteous, professional, and knowledgeable. Was able to fix my problem within a few minutes. Will hire again if needs be."

"Terrible. He broke a valve resulting in a flooded bathroom floor and left an open, leaking pipe that dripped into the basement through an open hole. My family is still without a toilet in that bathroom. The shower basin was the wrong size, so he was going to cut studs near electrical wiring to make it fit. I said that I wanted a Toto toilet. He bought a cheap brand for $150, a brand I have never heard of. We found the receipt in the bathroom. He had many reasons as to why he kept getting detained, one because he said he needed more money. The contract stated 50 percent at signing, another 25 percent upon completion of demo, and the final 25 percent on project completion. I paid him $4,550 on 12/4/2024, CASH. I paid another $1,500 on 12/21/2024 CASH, and $766 on 1/17/2025 CASH. He refused to work unless I paid him on 12/21/2024 because he said he had completed the bathroom demo, and according to the contract, $2,275 was required at completion of bathroom gutting, but the gutting was incomplete with mounds of insulation on the floor and the dumpster was still in our driveway. Even after I explained that the gutting was not complete until all debris was removed and the dumpster was gone, I still paid him, but I did this because he refused to work without this payment. When he began working again, contract specifications were not met. He continued not to show up for work, each time with an excuse, sick children, sick wife, car broke down, etc. I have never heard of a contractor who did not own a truck, but he did not. There were many warning signals, no business cards etc., but I gave him the benefit of the doubt because he had two young children. The contract was signed 12/4/2024 and I terminated his services on 2/11/2025, after 3 months without a toilet, shower, sink, etc. He was angry and threatened to sue me for breach of contract, but the more chances I gave him, the more I realized he had no clue what he was doing. Per your rating below, please clarify your scale, is 1 the best and 5 the worst? I can’t provide a rating with a clear understanding of your rating system. In the end, all he completed was the bathroom demolition. I can live with him keeping $1500 for that, even though it could have been done for much less. I would like a refund of $4,550 as he didn’t complete any work other than the demo and didn’t purchase materials that fit our bathroom requirements. Note: he is going to contest that he did spend money on supplies such as bathroom pipe pieces, toilet, shower enclosure, even though they were the wrong size. He took them from our work site. I pulled thousands of dollars from my retirement account, money that I believed would have resulted in a nice bathroom. My family has endured hardship without the bathroom, and I have been dealing with tremendous stress as a result. It is also taking me extra time to prepare this document for you, time that I need for more important priorities such as my health."
