We used Leahy plumbing in the past, and loved the plumber Jim. Their rates were reasonable and work good. We had new work to do, and I scheduled an estimate. The plumbers showed up when expected, and said they would e-mail an estimate. A week passed and I hadn't received an estimate. I called to see where it was. I was told that John would handle it, and he was out. I still haven't heard back from them - it's been quite a while!

Mr. Leahy the owner called me back and stated that his plumbers on Sunday were booked and he could come 8am the next day. I was fine with that because I was anticipating an extra charge for emergencies/weekend. Their crew of 4 showed up the next morning and determine it was one of the clogged pipes that had backed up our main pipe. It took 2 hours and 150ft to reach the clogged main line. They broke by toilet cover but immediately replaced it (with a better one!). I was happy with the work and promptness, but I thought it was a bit pricey to just snake a line.
Description of Work: I had called Leahy Plumbing's emergency line on a Sunday because our basement sewage drain was backing up into our laundry room.

Company was scheduled to arrive between 8 and 9 AM. They were delayed arriving, but were able to stay and finish my job even though it was bigger than I originally thought. After having part of a copper water supply line replaced due to a leak, I cut out enough of the ceiling to see all of the pipes that are distributed to the upstairs from that room. Several had green spots where they were corroding through. The plumber and his assistant replaced all of the copper lines in 3.5 hours. They were neat and put a piece of plastic on the wall to keep solder from splattering on it. I have used Leahy Plumbing before and would again.
Description of Work: Replaced all copper water lines in living room ceiling due to previous leaks.

I was impressed by the responsiveness and efficiency of the workers. The main line sewer drain in my laundry was backed up. I called John Leahy on Saturday to ask for help and he promptly sent two men to look at the situation. They quickly used a 50' auger to remove the clog. They were in and out within 50 minutes. Their price was also reasonable.

The experience wasn't that great. The building engineer recommended them, because they were suppose to be familiar with older buildings. They first appeared very professional, but when they showed up to work they spent 4 hours without really fixing the problem. They thought they fixed the issue but there was still was some leaking and I had to have them back out. After coming back out they finally made the repair.

I had a terrible experience with them. They had a good reputation and were recommended by an acquaintance of mine. They charged me when they came out. I had a $1000 spigot in my kitchen sink and they did something, and it was worse after they came out. They came out a second time, and they told me that they did not break the spigot. They wouldn't fix it because they said they were not responsible for the breakage and that it was like that when they came. I called the manufacturer, and the manufacturer sent me the end piece of the spigot, which was replaced free of charge; they did not even charge me to mail the piece. All that Leahy Plumbing had to do was call the manufacturer, get the part and screw it on like a screw. They just ignored it. They were too lazy to even try and get the piece. Their responsiveness was horrible. I called them, and they told me never to call their place ever again. I felt like they considered me to be a nuisance. They did not want to hear from me even though I had a legitimate problem. They told me that they would look into it and talk to the manufacturer, and I called them at least two or three times to find out because I was without a sink faucet that worked, but they would not respond. I would not use them in the future.

These guys are experts at tricky plumbing problems. This is the second time they have solved a major problem for me. This time the kitchen sink wasn't draining properly and they found it was the air vent on the roof that was blocked not that the drain was in need of snaking out. I didn't even know there was an air vent on the roof and we have owned the house for 16 years. I have used Leahy for years and consider them indispensable in keeping my household plumbing in good working order.

We first heard about Leahy approx 15 years ago. The person who referred us said and quot; Don't call anyone else and quot;. I'm glad I listened to them. We have needed Leahy for plumbing repairs only, and I have no reservations about recommending them. They even got us a refund from WSSC. In my book, that's service. We have needed them about 1/2 dozen times. Always all and quot;A'sand quot;. Don't Call Anyone Else.

Went well. Office number usually answered by one of the owners John Leahy himself who is responsive and knowledgeable. Easy to schedule and they arrived on time. Technicians do the work under direction of Michael Leahy (also very knowledgeable and capable) who gets the job underway and let's the guys finish up. Only complaint was that when removing the old rusty hot water heater it leaked rusty water on our driveway causing stains which they did not clean up or maybe they did not notice. We were able to remove stains when noticed the next day with a gallon of vinegar and a rough broom. Took less than half a day to do the job.
Description of Work: Replace 23 year old gas hot water heater (leaky but not dire emergency) with RUUD 10 year warranty 50gallon one. Current code required new chimney liner and b-vent which was done by separate chimney company after new hot water heater was installed.

Leak appeared in ceiling under bathroom. I was able to shut off water so leak stopped. Leahy serviceperson arrived on schedule next afternoon. He quickly found the problem (seal on tub drain), repaired it and restored water. I had opened wall next to tub and ceiling under it while trying to find the leak, and I did not ask Leahy to do wall repairs since a painting contractor was working in the house at the time. However, Leahy was neat and cleaned up the things that were worked on.
Description of Work: Repaired leaking bathtub drain. Checked all other plumbing in that part of house to assure that there were not multiple problems.

Though I was nervous about using Leahy's at first, I will gladly use them again if I have need. They are licensed, bonded, and insured (their profile here on Angie's list is not accurate or complete). I found their website using Google Maps: http://www.leahyplumbingandheating.com/. NOTE: I did not grade them on price since I have no point of reference for plumbing services, and I did not pay the bill. However, it did seem very reasonable to me.
Description of Work: Once I found the puddle, I cleaned it up and watched for a few minutes. Luckily, I only had a slow leak. I put a bucket underneath and let the landlord know what was going on. She gave me the go-ahead to find someone and get the work done. I didn't want a small problem to turn into a mountain, and Leahy's was the first company with an opening on the same day. I scheduled my appointment for noon. The owner called and asked if the plumbers could come early since they'd had a cancellation. The team of two arrived and began inspecting various rooms. They asked to make a small hole in the wall, letting me know that it was not part of their work to repair the hole. We discussed the best place to make the opening, and they worked from under my kitchen sink, where it would be out of sight. They made a hole roughly six by four inches and found the leak. Then they turned the water off and got right to work. They replaced a section of copper pipe roughly two feet long. It fed both my kitchen and bathroom sinks. The senior plumber on the team blew water through the tiniest pin-hole to show me where the leak was. This was a huge relief! I knew they had found the cause and fixed it. He also suggested that I spray bleach water into the wall while it was open to curb / prevent any mold growth. I asked about using a fan and dehumidifier in the basement, which he strongly encouraged. Getting payment from the landlord to the owner's office was a little chaotic since the team at the house wrote up the invoice. We then had to put the other two in contact with each other to sort out payment. Mr. Leahy seems to have a little more work than he can really handle, but I guess that's a good sign. Sounds like he could use an office worker. In the end, the landlord was able to take the payment over the phone. In all, they spent just under two hours at my house, and Leahy's team left me with a nice dry kitchen and basement!

It was a very unpleasant and disappointing experience.
Description of Work: Called Leahy to snake out the basement floor drain that had backed up. Told them it was the sewer line and asked if they were equiped to do that kind of snaking . When the technician came he decided he had to snake out through the toilet above. He removed the toilet and proceeded to snake out the main line. Soon he told me he needed a longer line, (even though I had specifically asked if they were equiped for the work) which meant he had to call and wait for another another tech with a longer line. He snaked out the line , told me it was OK, put the toilet back and explained that since he had to call for extra lines it would be more expensive. I refused to pay close to $500.00 and called LEAHY to say they should have come with the proper equipment form the very beginning. After that the toilet was a bit wobbly and I noticed that the technician had not caulked around the base. I assumed it was a bolt that needed to be tightened and that I could handle the caulking. A few days later my husband and I left on an extended business trip. There was no one in the house and no water use until May 24. When we returned, my husband tried to fix the wobbly toilet. A bolt was missing, which meant the toilet had to be removed again by a plumber because the bolts come through the floor first, and the toilet sits on them ! On Sunday, June 20, the sewer backed up through the floor drain again, but this time with much more force. The snaking by the LEAHY tech had not been thorough and we had to call another company that works on Sundays to do the job. They did not replace the missing bolt either!

Quite a lot of water was coming from something in my laundry room (in the basement) into the garage. In there are also my A/C - furnace main unit + water heater. That was on June 10. I new the water heater was past its average lifetime and there was a small leak on the side of it. But there seemed to be another issue linked to the A/C. In the morning soon I called three providers incl. Leahy. They were the only ones able to come immediately (regular service - not emergency) and who had told me if the water heater had to be changed they could do it right away too. They were also quite competitive. I closed with them and they came right away. They were very quick in understanding that the water heater needed to be changed and also in spotting that the pipe that takes the excess water from A/C to laundry sink had a negative grading (water was thus accumulating in A/C unit and caused the flood). They explained the different water heater models they could propose to me; i chose one, they called their office who came very quickly (while the old one was being emptied and rmved; they then installed the new heater; repaired the A/C pipe route; cleaned everything. They were polite, quick, explained all details to me.
Description of Work: Changed water heater (removed old one and installed new one - 65 gallon Ruud 10 year warranty)
