Chris responded promptly, he was polite and respectful. He discussed his findings and cost to replace the radiator. He returned the following day and completed the project. I appreciate the quality of his work.

I can?t recommend Chris highly enough! He recently replaced my old water heater and handled a complete repiping of my basement?and the entire experience was seamless from start to finish. Chris showed up on time, was incredibly professional, and clearly takes great pride in his work. He explained every step of the process, answered all my questions with patience, and worked efficiently without cutting corners. He even befriended my dog and brought him snacks- an added bonus. The quality of his workmanship is outstanding. The new water heater is working perfectly, and the repiping job was done cleanly, with attention to detail that truly impressed me. He even cleaned up thoroughly when he was done, leaving the space better than he found it. If you?re looking for a trustworthy, skilled, and reliable plumber, Chris is your guy. I?m grateful to have found someone so dependable and will absolutely call him again for any future plumbing needs.

Chris was prompt on responding to the request for service. He was knowlegdable and able to diagnosis the problem and provide a clear and understandable solution. Chris deliveried on the installation of the hot water heater and provided exactly what he said he would. He said 3 hours and he was finished in 3 hours. He said he would leave a cleaned up job site and he did just that. I would highly recommend him and would have no issues in using him on future plumbing jobs in my house.

I’m SO happy I found Chris & will definitely be contacting him again in the future. He reached out immediately & was reassuring about solving our issue. We had our kitchen fixed within less than 48 hours of submitting a request on Angi — and we needed a significant amount of work. He handled it quickly & efficiently, truly went above & beyond, and was more than reasonable with pricing. 10/10! THANK YOU Chris & team! - Meg

It was two days before Thanksgiving, and my old garbage disposal sprung a leak. There was quite a lot of water under the kitchen sink. I immediately bought a new disposal at Home Depot. On a recommendation from Angi, today I called Rapid Plumbing Service. The owner and his assistant arrived on time, assessed the problem and removed the old disposal and installed the new disposal. Their workmanship was excellent. They were extremely professional and very personable. They even checked why I had very little cold water pressure from the faucet and determined that the under sink water filter was not working properly and probably had a clog. I was advised to buy a new filter. I was not charged anything additional for checking the water filter. I would not hesitate to recommend Rapid Plumbing Service for any and all plumbing issues.

My experience with Chris from Rapid Plumbing in Wantagh was not good. We called him for a leak coming from the boiler relief valve. He came to my house and by just looking at the boiler from afar, he was able to somehow conclude that the boiler would blow up and cause a flood and needed to be replaced as an emergency and he was the right guy to do it for $14,000. How he came to this conclusion, I have no idea but that was the first red flag. I chose to have him fix the problem i called about first to see if he is good. He changed some parts and collected his money and left. Two days later, leak was still persistent which basically meant that not only did he not fix the problem he was called for but decided to change some other parts that were likely not the issue because it certainly did not solve the problem. I called him. He was defensive about the work he did saying that the parts were needed to be changed. When I asked him why the leak had not been fixed after changing the parts, he got very angry and told me to F myself and hung up. Later he texted me to tell me that the work he did was needed on the boiler. Fine. For the benefit of doubt, May be so but that was not the reason he was called. I was out $400 and Chris did not solve the problem he was called for - the leaky relief valve on the boiler. Not only did he not solve the problem but he was unprofessional when I raised concern and he started using words to try and intimidate me. I am putting this review here hoping that others see it and tread carefully when interacting with Chris from Rapid Plumbing, especially if he tells you (without actually investigating the problem that your boiler is about to blow up and the only way out is if you let him replace the boiler for $14,000. To say that this was perhaps the most unethical and dishonest interaction I have had with a repairman in some time would be an understatement. I know he has lots of good reviews also but after my experience, I highly doubt that those reviews are real or accurate. If this review helps even one person avoid being taken advantage of, I would feel better that I saved someone else the pain and disappointment of being taken advantage of. Please be aware of Rapid plumbing tactics and tread carefully when dealing with Chris. He talks a lot and sounds like he knows what he is talking about but that was not my experience with him. He lacks experience as a tradesman, is not professional and frankly is dishonest.

CHRIS WENT ABOVE and BEYOND!!! I hired Chris of Rapid Plumbing for a quick simple job...to install a new kitchen faucet;...a job that we all expected to take no more than 45-60 minutes. Due to a defective faucet (Amazon, ?)... Chris ended up being at my house for over hours!! And...to save time, he volunteered himself to go pick up some supplies that I ultimately needed to complete the job to my satisfaction...while I had to go to different store to buy another faucet. So...Chris removed 1 old faucet and installed what turned out to be a defective new faucet (that he spent over an hour trying to fix what was an unfixable problem with the faucet)...then removed 'that' defective faucet & installed a "2nd new faucet. Now...given how much additional time & labor he ended up spending on my job, you'd expect that a routine plumber would 'hammer' the homeowner with excessive addition labor charges. HE DID NOT!! So much so, I ended up giving him MORE than the nominal additional charge he suggested - because what he said he was going to charge me I did not feel was enough to properly compensate him for his time & for not leaving me hanging with the defective faucet - because in all honesty, that was not his doing or his problem - it was MINE, and Chris helped me out BIG-TIME!!! I can not thank Chris enough!! I was & am truly impressed with Chris ethics, craftsmanship & responsiveness to his client needs. I will MOST DEFINITELY use Chris/Rapid Plumbing again for all my plumbing needs!!
