They were friendly, knowledgeable, did great work, provided good advice for future and fair pricing. Will definitely keep them in contact list for future jobs. Recommended!”

“Saturday visit to my mom‘s turned out to be a plumbing problem. Called several companies and only universal plumbing was able to give come out in a reasonable time. When Martin showed up, he diagnosed the problem and we discussed options.
Martin spent the time to make sure the job was done correctly and with a 30 day guarantee. I am very happy with the pricing and with the way, Martin showed concern to get the job done for us.
I would highly recommend Martin and his team from Universal plumbing for anyone looking for a quality company!”

“Martin was the first to respond to my “emergency” via the thumbtack app. I dropped a brand new silver and diamond bracelet my mom just gave me, in the bathroom sink. I don’t know anything about taking apart the under sink pipes so I was …”

“Thumbtack connected us when I found myself in an alarming situation. Our kitchen sink was leaking and my husband tried to repair it only to make it worse! Martin was the first company to respond and said he could be here within the hour. He was so professional, such a great communicator and very responsive to our needs. The repair was completed promptly, taking less than an hour. A few days later a small leak at the base of my new faucet appeared. I called them right away because they guarantee all their work. Martin returned with a smile on his face and replaced my entire faucet with an upgrade to ensure the problem would not occur again! It is rock solid now and I am thrilled! Great customer service! I would highly recommend Martin and the team at Universal Plumbing. Thank you so much for your help.

Plumbing leak detection”

“Had to replace a hot water heater and they were able to accommodate us quickly and the Work was done professionally. The most important thing I appreciated was the communication - a lot of vendors fail to communicate which can make things really frustrating. Martin communicated in detail every step of the way and was very transparent. Will be using them for the foreseeable future on other plumbing jobs.”

“I had a leaky kitchen faucet and bought a new one to replace it. I thought it should be a fairly straightforward job, but the mounting bolt was rusted tight. After hours of trying to removed it and even trying to drill it off we reached out to Universal Plumbing & Rooter. They were very responsive online and sent out Martin the next morning. When he arrive he had the tools to remove the previous faucet. He offered to install the new faucet and since he did such an efficient job at the previous removal I took him up on it. Installation was super fast and the new faucet works great. He cleaned up any mess he left and was on his way. Great work and professionalism by Martin! Would use him again and highly recommend using Universal Plumbing & Rooter.
