I do not recommend at all. I was not going to leave a review because I was refunded part of what I…read morepaid. However, I would not go with Berks Plumbing. It was overall terrible experience and as time goes on I realize it could have been catastrophic if I moved forward with them. I had a clogged drain and got an invoice from Essig on what it would cost to move forward with what was needed. Essig was at my home for several hours trying to clear my drain line. Did not try to upsell me on anything I needed. Jim was absolutely fantastic and straight forward and has proven to be a man of his word with Essig plumbing. I called berks plumbing for a second opinion and hydro blasting because it was recommended from a friend who is a plumber on the west coast after the traditional snake from Essig was unsuccessful before going into the foundation. Mike from berks plumbing quoted me at $2000 for hydro blasting and to clear the drain. However said if I bought a $4200 he would only charge me $1,100 for the hydro blasting. Beware single ladies, he is going to say run it by your significant other. I thought it was considerate at first, however, after sharing my experience with other members of the community, this is how he works even when he worked at other companies. Mike is a sales man, he cares about taking your money for the lowest quality work. He sold me on the water softener system, that I did not need and was not in my budget if I needed my pipes replaced at $8,000. He told me it would be beneficial to reduce further erosion on my old cast iron pipes. He assured me the hydro blasting and water softener would solve my issues. And I did not need my pipes dug up in the basement and replaced. I DO AND WHEN I SAW WHAT I SAW WHEN THEY RAN THAT CAMERA I KNOW BERKS PLUMBING SCAMMED ME!! They came out the first time, "ran a camera" (it never happened) and somehow what Essig couldn't get through, they chain snaked and claimed it was hair and lint and "successfully removed the blockage". When I asked Ardie, the plumber Mike sent for the job, to see what was removed from the pipe that was causing the drain issues he said he got rid of it already. Then I asked him what he saw on the camera and if there was a lot of erosion and he said "it was just dark". Ardie said he ran a small load of laundry and there was no issues and I was good to go. I ran a normal load of laundry in my washer and it backed up into the utility sink. Mike sent Ardie back out to correct the job. They came back out and I demanded to see what was going on inside the pipe. They used the same camera and as soon as they got in the pipe there were several holes in my drain line. Water was going under the foundation of my home and the pipes absolutely needed to be replaced. They didn't do their job properly the first time, I did not need it snaked or a water softener. I needed them replaced as Essig told me. Then when I informed Mike I was going with Essig he completely bad mouthed them. Said they do shotty work and will try to upsell me on everything. Coming from the guy who did just that. He lowered the price of the job and wanted to do it when I wasn't home. Red flags all around with him. Then he called me several times reducing the price of the job. I told him it wasn't about the money anymore that I was not confident in their ability to do the job. Mike was going to do it the next day. I live in west reading where you need a permit to do this type of work. He wasn't going to get the permit. He also told me the floor drain doesn't get replaced because they're obsolete which is also not true. I have text messages and I have a recording of the conversation between us. That's how unsure I was about this company. I would steer clear. The employees are unprofessional and their work is not of quality. They want your money. That's all, in my experience.

Carlos and his team were professional, knowledgeable and relentless when dealing with this stubborn clog; which turned out to be 25 years of garbage build up. When the clog did not break-up with their electric snake; Carlos had no other option than to cut our PVC pipe, in order to remove all of this build-up. The clog was getting hung up in one of the elbow turns; so he replaced it with a T, so that if this ever happens again (hope not), the removal of anything should be a lot easier than what he originally experienced. And lastly, Carlos went out of his way in order to keep the price down for us; which we truly appreciated. We would highly recommend Carlos and his team to anyone; since they are now our "guys" if we ever need any of their services in the future.

To be clear - I intended to post this review as soon Tri-County Residential Contractors had…read morefinished their work here - my apologies to John for taking so long! In the aftermath of the unexpected passing of my sister, who had completely withdrawn from the world - from me, as her only surviving family member, from her neighbors, and friends - I was suddenly presented with the opportunity to move into my family home in Upper Gwynedd Twp. early in 2024. I had moved away in 1986 to get married, have kids, and then moved to New England with my then wife, who had originally come from Rhode Island, and still had family there. For reasons that we will never fully understand, in the years after my mom had had a debilitating stroke, and had to be in an assisted living home, my sister had allowed this magnificent home to fall into a complete state of disrepair. When the furnace stopped working a couple years earlier, and with a basement fuel oil tank that needed to be replaced, she chose to rely on the two fireplaces for warmth, only, never repaired the furnace, and lived without hot water for the last two or three years of her life here. As one might expect, that led to issues in the home that needed immediate attention upon my arrival in March. I went onto the popular "List" website to find an HVAC contractor to come in and repair a leaking pipe in a hot water baseboard heater and to get the furnace started (at this point, I still wasn't aware that the fuel oil tank was no longer approved to hold fuel oil). Two or three different contractors quickly responded to my request on the "List" website, and although I was entirely naïve as to what steps to take next, I had learned from other experiences in my life that it's always a good idea to look for independent reviews of various services, products, and contractors prior to moving forward with a purchase, or a contract. Sure enough, the two or three contractors who had jumped on my request through Angi only had so-so reviews, at best. I wasn't impressed by any of them, but in searching for reviews on them, I kept seeing very positive reviews for Tri-County Residential Contractors right here in town. I reached out to Tri-County and spoke to John Brady, who set up a time to come over and get the restoration started. A couple days later, he stopped by and welded the leaking copper pipe for the heat in the sunroom out back, then advised me on a couple of steps to take next, before moving ahead with trying to get the furnace fired up. When I certain there were no more leaking baseboards - I chose to isolate one bedroom for the short term, as a cast iron baseboard there was leaking and my preference was to try to replace that baseboard, rather than installing the slant / fin / tube baseboard that John was ready to move on, had I wanted to go in that direction - John came over to take a look at and work on the oil-fired New Yorker tankless hot water furnace, which had not been fired up in several years. Because he knew that I was not sitting on a lot of cash, as I was in the process of settling both my mom's and my sister's estates at that point, he tested the furnace, including the relay and the zone valves, and was kind enough to give me the results. He guided me as to exactly what he wanted me to buy - I went onto eBay to get what I needed, with the relay having been discontinued by Honeywell in 2012, but I found a new one there - and what I needed to do to install the parts. I was able to make those repairs myself. I went to fill my fuel oil tank and spoke to the big indoor / outdoor company in Souderton. When they told me they would not fill my existing 60-year-old tank, John gave me the name of one of his vendor friends, who wound up installing the new tank and saving me hundreds of dollars versus what the Souderton firm had quoted. John came back and was able to fire up the furnace, and it's been running dependably ever since! I can't recommend Tri-County Residential Contractors highly enough to accurately reflect John's service, pricing, professionalism, quality of work, follow-up, support, and reliability. Hoping I can stay here - there is still a lot of work to do to bring the house back to its original glory - and I won't ever call anyone else. In fact, next summer, we have to get the central AC running. I'm probably going to need a new unit, and it will be John who will do that work for me. Sincere thanks to you, John!

Moen provided a FULL warranty replacement set (Moen rocks!) and Dominic the M&M guy installed this handily for a reasonable charge. Some months later there was an internal issue with this part as well as a number of house plumbing issues that I figured to address at the same time. Brandon and his other brother Brandon set about these other issues but noted that the sink needed a specific Moen replacement part. Meanwhile, they tackled the house pressure regulator, which had been a real challenge for a prior plumber for some reason. Brandon measured the outside pressure and matched this up so our showers were still able to provide the same oomph. This was the root problem to our "water heater issue" - which included relief valve output due to surges. Unfortunately, we still had to buy/install a new overflow bladder. At my request, they also checked all the valves under the sinks and toilets for operation and leaks to see if they needed their packing adjusted or to be replaced. Note: After years of non-use, the typical valve used has packing that can dry and pull back leading to a leak. You can simply tighten up the screw on the front to tighten the packing. If you do replace this valve - go to a better quality ball valve design choice. We also had a significant leak in one of the exterior hose valves - had these replaced with the newer long-valve design that places the shut-off point internal to the house rather than right at the handle. We had them switch out the other one to this, as this will reduce the chance of cracked pipes (and possibly a very soggy cellar) from freezing. Dominic returned and facilitated communications with Moen and eventually did a re-installation. Moen provided an assembly and eventually express shipped a WHOLE NEW faucet set to get this problem solved. M&M was kind enough to significantly discount the charges on the faucet troubleshooting and re-replacement.
