Amazing! Response to an emergency flooding of pipes, they were here in 2 hrs in Coopersburg, pa. Courteous and incredibly competent, and they don't charge you the price of your mortgage! 2nd time I've used them - I recommend them to everyone. read more

I called into Elek plumbing and got a hold of Nate who helped me get a plumber out to my house not long after calling! Gilchrist was the guys name and he did a great job! I couldn't have asked for more. My new go to guys! Nate and Gilchrist!! read more

Our sewerage was backing up in the basement. We couldn't run water or flush the toilet. I called 2 other companies first. One still hasn't responded and the other one set up a time frame to visit and then called back to cancel. Elek checked their availability up front and had someone here very quickly. Very thankful. read more

An absolutely terrible experience. We had an emergency with drain overflow. Called and was told $99 to have someone come out and investigate, which was waived with service. Guy took 2+ hours to determine septic line was clogged, which he couldn't service, and to give us a quote for replacing well tank, installing a softener, etc. Continuous high pressure sales bs throughout. We declined that $5000 estimate, and were presented a bill for $400 for the time he was here. Much of which was giving a quote for unrelated things. My partner balked at that, and he lowered the quote to $4200. We told him we would not be paying either, that it was absurd to bill for giving a quote, and paid the original $99. I can't imagine how many elderly people, or people easy to take advantage of these plumbers have ripped off with similar tactics. read more

Requested a quote for rough plumbing of 2 apartments. This was for running water lines and drains for 1 bath and 1 kitchen for each unit. The quote was for rough plumbing only which includes water lines and drains to each kitchen and bath. It did not include water heaters, faucets, showers , baths tubs, sinks or toilets. The quote came in at $45,000 dollars to complete what would amount to 2 days work at the most! The water lines, drains and connectors are very inexpensive. The labor worked out to about to about $2800/hr! This was probably the most expensive quote I ever received in my 50 years of dealing with contractors. I hope if you consider this contractor you get a few quotes to compare! When I emailed the company to express my shock at the quote. I was told to contact the company to discuss the quote. I emailed back the quote and asked how this could possibly be a reasonable quote! I never heard back by email or phone call! Be careful, it seems like the company throws out absurd bids in the hope of no one is checking competing bids! BTW.....the bid was nearly 8 times higher than the median bid of $6000!! read more

Extremely dissatisfied with a non emergency job. Overcharged for a simple dishwasher installation and they did not complete the task. They refused to adjust the price when they determined that they could nor complete the job. I had to bring in another contractor to finish the job. read more

Called Elek Plumbing for drain clogged, I had one of the online coupons for $50.00. They said the guy that comes will give us a price. I asked if I could use the $50.00 coupon they said yes just give to technician. When he came he quoted an outrageous price to run a snake. We said no, The charge to come out was $99.95 but I had the $50.00 coupon the operator said I could use. The technician said I couldn't use it because I didn't approve for them to do the job. They are liars, cheaters..... DON'T CALL THEM IN THEY WILL RIP YOU OFF!!! Update: Called and complained and they said they will refund us the $99.95. Just read coupon closely and be careful with this company!! read more

The coupon is a cheap marketing scheme and they overcharge by a lot. Everyone working there is trained to charge as much as possible.

David came out right away on a holiday weekend, which I wasn't expecting at all. I was told upfront I'd be paying an emergency surcharge, and because I needed my clogged kitchen sink fixed immediately, I accepted it. I had called around to other plumbers but no one picked up. David was already really personable on the phone and based on the other Yelp reviews, I decided to give Elek a chance. He was prompt, efficient, clean, and explained everything he was doing. My sink is unclogged (and hopefully stays this way into eternity, plz!) and now I have peace of mind. Thanks David & Elek! read more

I had Elek do a large job for me in the 80s, did a great job. Fast forward to 2021, I called about a leaky faucet in my bathroom. They asked for 100 dollars to come out and look and give me an estimate. My 100 dollars would be deducted from same. I get why you can't work for free, no money no business. I called in January. I never heard a word, no call nothing. I am 72 years of age. I simply can't spend 100 bux for zilch. Stay tuned, I called for a refund. I'm waiting for a call... read more

The definition of professionalism This was probably the best experience I've ever had with a service related company. From my initial contact with the company, to the dispatch of the service technician, each person was well spoken, polite, knowledgeable and professional. The time from my initial call to the time the technician arrived was under 2 hours (2 days before Christmas!) I was kept informed as to the time the technician would arrive and informed of the work that needed to be done and how much it would cost. The technician was obviously experienced and very knowledgeable. The work was done quickly and efficiently. The technician at my request, did more work than was originally requested and was eager to make sure I was satisfied with the work he did before he left. Needless to say, I was extremely satisfied, and will not hesitate to recommend them to anyone I can. read more

Woke up on a Saturday to find the water heater leaking from the base. Called Elek they were able to dispatch Scott to come by same day. He was so quick with it and the cost was so reasonable, I figured I'd ask about water softener systems, having no experience with how they work, how much they cost, etc. He took the time to educate me and provided options. Agreeing to move forward, Scott came back next day and completed the install. By Monday, we had hot, clean, and SOFT water! Home repairs ALWAYS stress me out, but the entire experience from start to finish was professional and everyone I interacted with was kind and courteous. Highly recommend Elek! read more

I paid 90 dollars for a plumber to come in and tell me how to do their job.... and then they suggested I call roto router cuz it's "cheaper".... so that's what I'll be doing! read more

Fantastic experience!! The day after Thanksgiving the basement floor drain backed up. Asked some neighbors, did some google research the called Elek at 8:30 Sat morning and left details with their answering service. Had a call back 30 minutes later, and Chuck was at my house 1 hour after that. Inside of 2 hours he had found the right drain clean out, cleared the clog and meticulously cleaned up after himself and was rolling back out my driveway. Their prompt service call turned a holiday mess into nothing more than a good story to tell at work on Monday. Great job, great attitude, great service, fair price. Highly recommend and I'll be calling them for future (non-crisis) projects. read more

Our water alarm went off and called a few places...only Elek got back to me quickly on a Saturday evening and was there within the hour. Professional and courtious and more importantly, solved our issue! read more

Our water heater had broken down and was leaking. David from Elek showed up and was very professional in dealing with the matter as well as making future recommendations for a new heater. It was installed the next day. Prices are competitive and I will strongly recommend their plumbing service! read more

Purchased a home a few days ago and immediately found an issue with the toilet. In an attempt to simply change it out became an emergency. I called Elek and Gil was out within the hour. With all of this Covid19 business, Gil came prepared with gloves, shoe protection, mask etc. He fixed our issue, gave me tips on what to do going forward and remained professional throughout the entire process. I'd recommend Gil and Elek to everyone needing plumbing care. Thanks read more

We had a block in our sewer line (from bathroom to the septic -a distance of 30 feet or so - with an easily accessible clean out pipe). My wife called Elek. They would not give her a rough quote over the phone. After waiting a couple of hours past when they said they would be there.... A young man showed up and before he even started any work, he handed my wife a bill for just over $400! I never got his name.. just asked him to pack it up and leave. The next day we called Roto-Rooter (not a fan of the big companies).. They told us what a snake job would cost . They did the same job quickly and efficiently for $170. read more

I called Elek plumbing and left a message when my well pump stopped working. I received no call back in over two days. I guess they don't need my business. read more

I called Elek at 6:00 pm, after business hours. By 6:15 I received a call back and they had a repair person on their way. Within the hour Scott arrived. It only took him minutes to find the problems. In less than an hour he had everything fixed ... a cracked water pipe, a pressure gauge, and another loose piece. I could not be more pleased with the service I received. The price was fair for all the work that was done and for coming out late in the day. I would definitely recommend and will use them in the future!!! read more

We had a leaky toilet gushing water out to the basement when we flushed. I called three plumbers but Wm. Elek was the only one who not only returned my call but they came out the same day! I wouldn't hesitate to call them again! And the best thing? Their rates are SO affordable! read more

I cannot dish out enough positive praise for this local, family owned and run business. I had a sink emergency ( my large heirloom earrings went down the drain not only causing panic but flooding ) and they couldn't have been nicer or more efficient when I placed a call. The woman who answered was pleasant and felt sorry for my predicament. She told me she would send out a technician within 2 hours. 45 minutes later, Eddie appeared at my door with a smile and tool kit in hand. I showed him to my powder room and within mere minutes my earrings were in hand and the sink was clear. I've spent hours of my life waiting for service companies to show " between 12-7 " only to be stood up or have them show at 6:55. I was blown away by how quickly they handled my situation. I can't recommend Elek enough and it also feels great to support smaller, local business! read more

These guys are the best!! Maybe a little more expensive but well worth it for the peace of mind you will have when they are done!

Chuck was very efficient! He went above and beyond to make sure our apartment was fixed and left it spotless. He was very personable and explained everything to us every step of the way. He offered suggestions on how to maintain clear pipes as well. He went above and beyond! Overall pricing was not bad at all for the quality of the service. Great company, will definitely be recommending to others in the area! read more

Our water heater alarm went off at 4:30 in the morning. We called Elek at 7am and Chuck was here by 7:30. New water heater installed and working by 10:30. Highly recommend Elek for any type of plumbing and in an emergency they are spot on. read more

This is the terrible technician. Came in to look at the issue, tried to fix but made the water leak issue worse. Got the money and done.

Yesterday I had a very stressful day trying to find a plumber to help me with my leaking hot water heater with no luck. Those other companies were all booked and would not be able to help me for several days. So this morning I called ELEK Plumbing and they immediately sent me a team of two plumbers. I was so impressed at the speed at which they came. David and Jody are wonderful people, a great team! I felt so comfortable having them in my home because they are so warm hearted and so very professional. They immediately knew what was going on with my water heater and explained my options which was limited because of the condition of the water heater. Their pricing for a new water heater is competitive and easy on my budget. I agreed and they immediately sprung into action and it was amazing how little time it took them to install it. I am so impressed with their work and their work ethics . . . They cleaned up the area so well that now it's the cleanest area in my basement! LOL. Thank you for sending me such a Great team. You should know they do your company Proud . . . I'm proud of them too! read more

****Update**** The owner of Elek called me and seemed shocked by my experience. He has refunded me all of my money.

After having two other companies come out who were unsuccessful in locating the blockage in our drain, Mr. Marshall had it cleared in under an hour. Where the others gave a verbal estimate to dig up our yard to find the blockage, he cleared it at 1/4 the cost estimate from the others. Good company, excellent plumber. read more

First off I never have written a review here. I requested service from Elek Plumbling. Not a rush job but wanted to get an outside spigot replaced if they had time. It was great that came out the same day. I requested a estimate on the phone and was advised that the tech would let me know before the work was started. There was a $69 truck roll fee that needed to be paid even if I did not have any work preformed. Once the tech showed up he looked at the job and stated there is a flat rate fee for the work of over $300. God, looking at this problem the job should have taken no more then 30-40 mins and parts where around $40. The parts where not on the truck and to run to the store. Came back and work was compete in short order. The tech did not test the work and when I hooked up a hose the spigot was leaking everywhere. Had another tech dispatched to fix the problems. What gets me is the fact I asked for a price and was not given one on the phone even though it was a flat rate job, yet was still on the hook for the $69 if I did not want the work done once I found out the price. The price of the work was, in my opinion, more then double what should have cost. I will say that the techs where professional as well as the call takers. read more
