Honest reviews from homeowners who chose Phoenician Plumbing for their plumbing needs.
"Quality service. Took some searching in the attic to find the issue, they spent the time, found it, fixed it. Job well done."
"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."
"Leak detection for a mysterious wet spot on my ceiling. They traced it to a pinhole leak in a copper elbow two floors up. Repaired the elbow and patched the access hole neatly. Could not even tell they were there."
