Real feedback from homeowners who trusted Phoenician Plumbing with their plumbing projects.
"Sewer line was backing up into my basement drain. They ran a camera and found tree roots 40 feet in. Hydro-jetted it clean and it has been flowing perfectly for months. Thorough diagnosis saved me a costly replacement."
"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."
"Bathroom remodel plumbing done perfectly. They relocated the drain, added a new supply line for the shower, and everything was roughed in exactly to our contractor specifications. No leaks, no issues."
