What our clients are saying
EXCELLENT Based on 172 reviews Posted on Google Deven VaziraniTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had Joe from Plumbing Problem Solvers come in to tackle a fairly problematic drain clog in my older cast iron soil pipe. He was very friendly, professional and honest. They never tried to upsell me on anything new. They were far priced for the amount of work Joe had to put into it (almost 5 hours because of the difficulty in getting to the clog). I would highly recommend them and would definitely give them a call next time I run into plumbing issues.Posted on Google PK KodavatigantiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fast turnaround, and very thorough job! They took apart our sump pump, installed a new one, and made sure that the system worked and wouldn't overflow again.Posted on Google Nancy NTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience with John and his team, Joe and Mohammed. Meticulous work with old basement pipes and very focused for the right outcome. Thank you!Posted on Google Angelica CorridoniTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. John is the most responsive and professional plumber I have ever encountered. I reached out to him two different times - both times on a Sunday - about doing a job at my parent’s house, and both times he answered immediately. He even scheduled us for the next day. It is clear John has great intentions, knows what he is doing, and genuinely wants to provide the best care for his customers. I look forward to working with John whenever a problem comes up. I highly recommend!Posted on Google Lisa RhodeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. All the positive reviews by others are true. John Pratt and his team -- Fabulous. They installed a utility sink in my garage and moved the outdoor water faucet to a more convenient location. Not only were they pleasant and punctual (i.e., same day service), their work was pristine and genius. No more stress about plumbing issues for me. I now have my "go-to", reliable, trustworthy plumber. Call John; you will be glad that you did.Posted on Google Sung ParkTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I came home to find my 1st floor kitchen flooded due to drain leak from the bathroom upstairs. I panicked and called around and was lucky to find Plumbing Problem Solvers. John and the team showed up the same day promptly as promised and quickly found the root-cause of the problem. John provided fairly priced estimate for the fix and was able to resolve the leak and even clean up the work site nicely afterwards. I will be adding John to my speed dial as my goto plumber going forward. Thank you!Posted on Google Isabel NgTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. John and his team (Joe) were excellent in helping fix a leaky pipe in my basement. He was quick to respond, communicated well, gave me a heads up of his arrival time, assessed the situation quickly, and swiftly fixed the issue in about an hour. I was not expecting such a quick turnaround, but they got it done! Super impressed and would highly recommend Plumbing Problem Solvers for your plumbing needs!Posted on Google Robert KoehlerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience with John & team on 4/30/26! Fast, responsive and communicative. They diagnosed and fixed the plumbing issue in a timely manner. I would not hesitate to recommend John for your plumbing needs in the Philly area!Posted on Google John TurnerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was referred to this plumber by a family member, and I’m really glad I took their recommendation. From the start, they were extremely responsive and easy to get in touch with. He responded right away and was at my house the very next day. Communication was clear and consistent throughout the entire process, which made everything stress-free. The pricing was fair, and the quality of the work was excellent. Everything was handled professionally and efficiently. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of a reliable plumber.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my water heater needs repair?
Common signs include no hot water, inconsistent temperatures, unusual noises, or water discoloration. If you notice any of these, it’s best to have the system checked before the problem gets worse.
How long does a water heater last?
Most traditional tank water heaters last 8–12 years, while tankless systems can last longer with proper maintenance. Age, usage, and water quality all affect lifespan.
Should I repair or replace my water heater?
That depends on the age of the unit, the type of problem, and how often repairs are needed. Minor issues can often be repaired, but if the system is older, leaking, or struggling to keep up, replacement may be the more reliable and cost-effective option long term.
What’s the difference between tank and tankless water heaters?
Tank systems store hot water and are typically more affordable upfront. Tankless systems heat water on demand, offering better efficiency and a longer lifespan, but at a higher initial cost.
