Honest reviews from homeowners who chose Phoenician Plumbing for their plumbing needs.
"Gas line extended for a new outdoor grill connection. Permitted, inspected, done correctly. They explained the pressure testing process and made sure everything was up to code before leaving."
"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."
"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."
