I can’t say enough good things about Buddy’s Plumbing Excellence. After another highly rated local plumbing company failed to clear my grease-clogged kitchen drain—leaving me with more frustration than results—I called Buddy’s, and they got the job done.

Unlike the first company, Buddy’s wasn’t afraid to access the clean-out, and they used a smart combination of augering and jetting to clear the blockage properly. What’s more, they completed the job in less time than the previous company, who had charged me more for achieving absolutely nothing.

Fast, efficient, knowledgeable, and professional—I’ll be calling Buddy’s for any future plumbing needs without hesitation.

We called Buddy's to replace a water heater that was leaking. They send out a repair person very quickly to get us a quote. They were very reasonably priced. Once we agreed on the heater we wanted they were back the next morning to install. Ryan, the technician was very kind and helpful . He answered all of our questions with a smile on his face. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was in working order. Overall excellent experience, and we will be using them for any plumbing needs we have in the future! Thank you Ryan and Buddy's!!!

I was very pleased with the work done by Buddy’s Plumbing Excellence. Kevin, the tech who installed my water softener, was kind and very knowledgeable about the work being performed. And he completed the job within the timeframe he said he would. I am so glad I found this plumbing company. I will definitely use them in the future!

Came home from a trip and found our sump-pump battery back-up system had failed. Even though it was late in the day, Evan worked through the evening to complete the repair! Anthony has a great crew working for him!

Have used them a couple times and both times I have had quick reliable service ! Staff have always been super nice and informative. Work has held up and have never had any issues with completed jobs. Price seems fair, and I plan on using them for all my future jobs ! A+++

I discovered an inch of (clean) water in mother-in-law's basement and did not hear the sump pump running - after heavy rains for days.

I called Tony (owner) and he sent Evan - who was very professional, knowledgeable, and informative. He not only explained that the (very) old sump pump had completely failed, he showed me why: the very very old iron outlet pipe had cracked and then sheared off, forcing the pump to work non-stop 24x7 until it burned out. Evan removed the old pump, float and pipes and then installed the new pump, float, and pipes. The water, now 3 inches deep, was all pumped out in under an hour.

The price was reasonable, and I have confidence in the work in part due to the effective explanations Evan provided.

Fortunately, a year before we had emptied the basement and there was nothing on the floor to be ruined by the storm water.

Anthony worked with me on the price which I really appreciated. Jocelyn made my appointment and was so pleasant to talk to. Jonathan knew exactly what to do to bring a natural gas line out from my basement to my deck. He did a great job! I highly recommend this company.

We had two different plumbing companies telling us that they fixed the problem. They didn't! We didn't get any refund either. Plumbing Excellence found the problem and resolved the issue. Very professional and would recommend them to anyone!!

Eric Barnes

I had water back up through my downstairs toilet. Called a different plumber who snaked the line and ran a camera to find a belly in my line. They said fixing it would likely involve tearing up my concrete basement floor, but wanted to charge me $564.44 to "camera and locate" the belly just to give me an estimate on the repair. That sounded crazy expensive to me to pay almost $600 to get an estimate after they had allegedly already identified the belly.

I called Plumbing Excellence for a second opinion. Jocelyn answered the phone and was very pleasant and helpful. She got me on the schedule the very next morning. The technician, Justin, arrived on time and ran the camera, identified the issue AND the location, and only charged me the $89 service call fee. The issue is not under my basement but in the yard and won't require them to tear up my basement floor. The estimate was very reasonable for the size of the job. They also gave me a narrated video of the camera work that explained the issue and what needed to be fixed.

I was very pleased with my experience with Plumbing Excellence. I highly recommend them. They will be getting my plumbing business from now on.

Plumbing at the Speed of NOW in Akron, Ohio

Are you worried about your pipes after the big freeze? Ready to find out what’s hiking your water bill? Our Akron plumbers are standing by.

Common Signs You Need to Call a Plumber

Many plumbing signs are obvious. When your hot showers become lukewarm, the water heater is the obvious suspect. Drains that don’t drain need attention, and a dripping faucet is a clear problem.

However, not all symptoms are so easy to spot, and it’s easy to dismiss them as a regular inconvenience or an unrelated concern. Keep an eye on your water pressure. If it isn’t as strong as it used to be, there are likely hidden problems in your pipes. A rising water bill may also be a red flag. Musty smells in your home, depressions in your lawn, and mushrooms around your property may signal leaks, breaks, and other plumbing concerns.

The Importance of Rapid Plumbing Repairs

Plumbing at the speed of NOW is for more than mere convenience. The longer a plumbing issue goes unaddressed, the greater damage it can cause to your home and health. A quick response is essential to doing the job right. Our team helps mitigate the risk of any plumbing problem before it becomes a bigger issue.

Property Damage

Faulty or damaged plumbing may lead to erosion, mold, and pest infestations. Given time, even a minor leak in a water or sewer line can attract tree roots that may further damage your property’s plumbing and infrastructure. Damp flooring, walls, and supports often rot, and the damage can be irreversible if left unfixed.

Health Risks

Even a minor leak can create hazards in your home. A small drip has dangerous potential. Mold and mildew require damp environments to thrive, and fungi can spread quickly in utility spaces between walls or under floors. Cockroaches are also drawn by moist dirt and softened infrastructure.
