What Our Customers Say

Honest reviews from homeowners who chose Phoenician Plumbing for their plumbing needs.

★★★★★

"Had low water pressure throughout the house for years. They identified a failing pressure regulator at the main and replaced it same day. Now every shower and faucet works like it should. Wish I had called sooner."

— Scott Ferguson
★★★★★

"Had an under-slab water line burst. They came out that day, capped off the bad line and restored water to the rest of the house, then rerouted the water line through the attic with minimal drywall damage. Very clean, respectful, knowledgeable, and professional. Only plumber I will ever call."

— Sarah
★★★★★

"Toilet had been running for months and driving up my water bill. The plumber replaced the fill valve and flapper in about 20 minutes and the toilet has been perfectly quiet ever since. Should have called sooner!"
