Brendan Walsh Plumbing and Underground Solutions

Friendly, informative and experienced professionals who arrived on time and assessed the problem immediately. They cleared the sewer pipes with their own specially outfitted snake and resealed a main patch created by a former plumber. I was also offered suggestions for preventative maintenance, and affordable options in the event that the source of my problem, tree root invasion. My wife's only criticism was the price point for the service and the dirty condition of the floors left behind.

Timely,efficient,courteous and professional.

Very pleased,from the initial phone call,this was a no bs.plumbing outfit that treated me w/ respect,responded immediately and did a professional job for a fair price.What more can you expect? I found my new plumber.

First, I called my go-to plumber, Murphy's on MacDade, who always do consistently good work but I've always thought their prices were higher than they needed to be. Well, the estimate Murphy's gave me to repair the leak using trenchless technology was $2500, and $4350 to replace the whole line, and these numbers factored in my discount for being a "contract" customer. Normally, the prices would be $2750 for the repair and $4550 for the replacement. When I hung up the phone, I literally screamed bloody murder. There was no way I could fork over that much cash in that short of a timeframe, and even if I could, I was thinking, there's got to be somebody just as good out there who will do it for less. So I did some internet research, and based on positive reviews, found the Brendan Walsh Underground Plumbing Solutions website, which explains what trenchless technology is, shows you a video of how it operates, and informs you that it's far less invasive and labor intensive (i.e. less costly) than the traditional method that required tearing up your front lawn and trying to put it back together again like humpty dumpty. Then the site tells you that Brendan Walsh and his crew have 10 years of experience with this technology and at that point, I was convinced to dial the number, which is (610) 850-3400. It's Good Friday now when I'm calling - and to my surprise, Brendan Walsh himself answers! And after a short explanation of what my problem is, tells me he can do the repair for $1500 and if they get in there and find out they need to replace the entire line it would cost $2700. Oh, and he can start it on Easter Monday! I couldn't believe this was really happening. I called other companies and they wanted to do it the old-fashioned tear it up way for like $4500, I think somebody even estimated it at $4900. (I must look like a very rich person to these guys, I don't know why, I have a beat up old car outside). Anyway, Mr. Walsh gave me the estimate in writing on Saturday, we had a pleasant phone conversation where he told me his philosophy of how he believes in taking care of his employees and makes it a point not to overcharge his customers (says he's barely raised prices in 10 years) and by the end of the call, I was so happy to give him the job. He shows up Monday morning just like he said he would, and he called beforehand, just like he said he would, we signed the proposal, which said exactly what he said it would say, then he drove off to get the permit from the township. He and his crew did the work on Tuesday. Unfortunately, I wasn't home to witness it because I was away on business, but my housemate said that she was only out of water for a few hours, and Mr. Walsh called me at approximately 5:30 pm to personally tell me that they had completed the job, that the repair was sufficient to resolve the problem, that they did NOT need to replace the line. I could not have been more thrilled and I promised to write a glowing review on Angie's list:)

Brendan came out within 1 1/2 hours of my phone call. He used his snake and whatever clogged up was resolved by his pushing is down to the sewage line. I've never used this company before and was happy with the service call.

Craig and Dan came out and did a great job sending the camera through my downspout drainage ensuring the water was going out to the street. They were very knowledgable and courteous. I would call them again if I needed additional plumbing work. They were very busy with emergencies which delayed them a bit on coming to me but this was understandable given the priorities.

From the beginning, I had the best experience. The lady who took my call was most polite and helpful and understood the problem I was describing. She gave me an ETA of 1 hour and a crew showed up right on time, had all the equipment ready, and since I had no outside sewer access, brought their cables in, ran into a bit of resistance, had what they needed to remedy the problem and in little over an hour, all was clear, the basement was swept dry and cleaned and they even moved some heavy boards that were on the floor that I couldn't move myself. They were all so friendly, knowledgeable and efficient, I would not hesitate to call them again, And they charged a reasonable amount! I have had experience with other plumbers in the past, but have not had the same experience. I am very happy with this company and as promised a shout out to Danny! You were all wonderful!

very professional, was glad i hired brendan walsh.

Extremely well! They came out to fix the leak fast and easy

if i could give brendan walsh an A+ i would. he came when he said he would and kept me informed about everything that was going on. he and danny and craig were possibly some of the nicest people i have met. i was pleased with everything and i now have a new sewer.

Arrived very quickly to provide the estimate. <br>Crew worked out a plan the first day to determine the path of the dig. <br>The dig and replacement went quickly the next day. <br>Everything went well and cost was fair. <br>Easy to work with and work looks good1 <br> <br>

Working with Mr. Walsh and his team was a wonderful experience. From the beginning, they made me feel like family. The team really diffused a stressful situation with confidence and assurance that the job would be complete. Since my home is on a slab, it required a very complex solution to replace my main water supply and fix the sewer. Instead of destroying my stairs, front door, walkway and garden, they came up with a simpler solution. Once the job was complete, you can barely notice any damage and the work they do is certified! I will be using them again for any future plumbing needs.

Brendan, showed up within an hour once the call was placed when I couldn't figure out where the water was coming from. He immediately tore open he wall and made a temporary patch until he was freed up the following day the make the repair. There were a few galvanized pipes that had to be cut out and replaced. His team did an outstanding job and Brendan was very informative and professional. I will be using his services in the near future to pipe in a laundry area in an extra room.

As a property manager, having a good plumber that can quote excellent prices is important. I've been working with Brendan for quite some time, and I have never been disappointed. He, and his staff are very knowledgeable, and has never led me in the wrong direction; finding the best solutions from all angles. He has tremendous resources to accomplish any job with ease. Brendan was also to able to do a bathroom remodel for me at the same time, for a great price, and it came out great!  Communication was also great, which is very important between managers and contractors. I never had a problem getting a hold of Brendan, and he has never hesitated in responding to my needs. I am lucky to have Brendan as a plumber, you can also be this lucky, give him a call. <br>

Everything went great all systems are up and running better then ever.

We called Brendan Walsh after getting a referral from a friend, and then finding him on Angie's List. We got three estimates from other Angie's List companies in total. Brendan came in with the lowest quote and was able to schedule a repair date within days of his initial visit. His team came out and though they had some difficulty, were able to fix our tub drainage problem by replacing the drain and installing a new drain stop. We were pleased with their friendly attitudes and overall professionalism. We were so impressed overall that I asked for an estimate for a larger project in our basement. Pleased with that estimate, we just phoned them again to schedule this larger project. <br />

See above. <br />

the owner was throne who responded and was able to clear the blockage and fix our problem. He made suggestions as to what the problem was and how to remedy. <br />

It went fantastic for a Sunday Morning call and I didn't feel like I was going to be taken advantage of..

I found out later that he never did the work. He charged me another $250 to snake the sewer line which he did not end up doing correctly. When I brought up the issues to his attention he gave me a bunch of excuses. I stopped calling him to make it right and ended up having to get the whole sewer line repaired by another company. Brendan Walsh lied about doing the work and over charged me with his prices.

We were very disappointed. They brought in an insurance adjuster, who didn't arrive to take pictures until after they started tearing apart the bathroom. The insurance company ended up giving money <em>only</em> for the repairs to the living-room ceiling. It ended up costing us much more money than anticipated. After the bathroom was finished, the leak continued. When they came back, they checked the pipes again and we heard someone say, "Oh; this is the last place we thought to look." Made us think that the $14,000 we spent was COMPLETELY unnecessary. We never plan to use them again, and do not recommend that anyone use them. <br />

Mr. Walsh and his staff initially tried a smaller repair. When that failed, they were very attentive to prioritizing our repair and navigating the required permits and standards imposed by our Township. Mr. Walsh discounted the price of the final repair by the amount spent on the initial repair that did not solve the problem.
