We are Miami's favorite plumber has been our label for a while Vleyz Plumbing services is a customer focused plumbing company Located in Miami FL we employ highly trained plumbers whose goal is to make our company the best service company in the Miami area. We are prepared for projects and equipment replacement
"Do not hire this company. If there’s an issue after they do the work, more than likely you won’t heard or see them again. In a nutshell they unresponsive and unprofessional to say the least. I Don’t want to make this too lengthy so I’m keeping it as short as possible so that you know what my issues are with this company. Samuel (one of the 2 plumbers said to fix the charge will be $1,200. I said I’ll get more quotes he then agreed to $800 for a job that took less than 1 hour. I hired them to repair a leak on my main water line on 11/28/2024. I called my water company on 12/16/24 to confirm if the water consumption was back to normal and they told me no. They can see live daily what’s going on. Samuel thinks a bill 30 later is the only way to know if the leak is still present and this is not the case. I’m sure they know this as well. Technology is a beautiful thing. I explained to Samuel in a voice mail and text that the water company is on the line with me now and will let him know the leaks has not been fixed. I sent several text and voice mails about the on going leak and for them to come back to fix asap. The representative agreed that we can do a conference call with the plumber. He did not answer my call or text. I was ghosted/received the silent treatment. My last voice mail and text messages to him was 1/2/25. No replies or call backs. I filed a complaint to Angie on 12/16/24 and the Plumber company had until 12/26/24 to reply and they did not. How ironic my last text and voicemail must have prompted them to now reply to Angi regarding my complaint. I said Just want you to know I just left you a detailed message about the leak and that I consider this abandonment of service from you if I don’t hear from you today You were pay in full, so there’s no reason why you should not complete this job. That’s why I’m calling this abandonment of Service which is unethical on your part. As a business and employee/r you never disregard your customers concerns which I have expressed to you. And nevertheless you never showed up, returned my previous calls/text. The. Suddenly they replied back on 1/2/2025 on the same day of my last text and voicemail Angi previously known as Home Advisors. As of today I have not hear from anyone from this company. They do not honor their 90 day working guarantee. I needed them to come back 2 weeks later and to be on a quick call with the water company . To his credit I did speak to Samuel for a very brief moment the first time a call..he was quite dismissive so I could not fully explain to much in our minute or less phone call. He told me he wouldn’t come back until January 2025. I texted and called 1/2/25 with details to come fix the leak. No answer from my voicemail or text messages."

Our President and General Manager, Dominick Manzo, reflects, “We started as a service company that has grown from a two man, one truck company, to an entire fleet of radio dispatched trucks that are all computer inventoried, fully stocked and professionally staffed. Our core product over the past two decades has been and always will be customer satisfaction.” Air America maintains both a service division as well as a full installation division. “This enables us to send the most qualified, licensed and factory trained technicians to our customers.,” “We send professional installers to install high quality product and skilled technicians to service and maintain all types of equipment.” Air America is fully licensed and insured and is a member of the Better Business Bureau, Local Chamber of Commerce & FPL Participating Contractor.
"I hired Air America to install a brand new AC on 8/17/2019. I was a single woman and I feel like they took complete advantage of me. My contract is for a 3.5 ton Trane system. Since the install, my ac bills have continued to climb. Initially I had a service contract with Air America but they kept pushing to sell me more service, so I stopped using them. I have replaced my ducts, sealed windows, installed additional insulation. You name it, I have tried it to try to get my FPL bill down. Last week, I hired another AC company to service and clean my ac. They informed me that my ac is running so much because my outside unit is NOT 3.5 ton as my contract clearly states I paid for. I was undersized with a 3 ton. The units are supposed to be the same size! I have contacted Air America through emails and online and received no response. This is clearly fraud and I would like the situation corrected. I feel 100% that they figured I would never be the wiser on this. I reported this to the BBB. The company responded that they would send a tech out and then complete radio silence. No one has contacted me and they have not attempted at all to correct this issue!"

The average cost to unclog a drain is around $200, with prices ranging between $110 and $800, depending on the type of drain and the extent of the clog. Hiring a professional to snake the toilet or sink will usually cost between $110 and $275, a bathtub or shower typically costs around $225, and a main line clog can cost between $100 and $800 based on the severity of the clog and how far beyond the access point the clog sits. Since the labor involved varies, most plumbers will charge an hourly rate for drain cleaning.
On average, a plumber will take 30 minutes to two hours to clear a clogged drain. If the clog is located close to the drain or an access point and isn’t severe, the project will take about half an hour. If the clog is deep within your plumbing system or is a severe blockage, it can take two or more hours to remove the clog. For this reason, main line clogs tend to take longer, usually between two and three hours.
It’s possible to snake minor drain clogs yourself, provided they sit within a foot or two of the drain itself, but it’s usually best to hire a professional plumber regardless. Even experienced DIYers have a high chance of accidentally pushing the clog further into the drain using a drain snake or another tool, so hiring a plumber is the ideal course of action. A professional plumber can use camera equipment to locate and identify the clog, and remove the entire blockage to fix your issue permanently.
In most areas, drain cleaning professionals don’t technically need a license, as they aren’t altering your plumbing system in any way. However, we recommend hiring a drain cleaning professional with a plumbing license and certification. Certified plumbers are more likely to provide professional solutions to drain clogs without damaging your system. They’ll also have the diagnostic tools and experience necessary to remove the clog entirely rather than providing a temporary solution, as a handyperson might. Use Angi’s state licensing tool to check your plumber’s professional licenses before hiring.
Applying drain cleaner is a common DIY solution to clogged drains, but it can be extremely harmful to your pipes and lead to corrosion and leaks. It is almost always better to try snaking a clog than using a drain cleaner, but the best solution is to hire a professional plumber. They can locate the clog and gauge the severity using a camera system and then decide if using a plumber’s snake, auger, or drain cleaner is the best option to remove the clog and limit damage to your plumbing system.
