Rapid Plumbing Service, Inc.

If you look at public records Chris has multiple arrests for domestic abuse/violence. Very easy to find when searching Chris Locrotondo arrests. I found this out after doing some research after Chris replaced my boiler. I had another legitimate company come take a look at the work and they more or less had to repipe the entire thing. In addition, Chris doesn?t hold a master plumbers license of his own. The license he showed me is that of someone other than himself. Once again I found this out after the money was given to him. Be aware and be safe

Chris was prompt and did awesome work. Appreciate the effort and great service for the right price. Thank you.

Chris was prompt on responding to the request for service. He was knowlegdable and able to diagnosis the problem and provide a clear and understandable solution. Chris deliveried on the installation of the hot water heater and provided exactly what he said he would. He said 3 hours and he was finished in 3 hours. He said he would leave a cleaned up job site and he did just that. I would highly recommend him and would have no issues in using him on future plumbing jobs in my house.

Chris was prompt, attentive, and helped me solve my problem quickly and affordably. He was courteous and friendly and I would hire him again if I have another plumbing issue.

I’m SO happy I found Chris & will definitely be contacting him again in the future. He reached out immediately & was reassuring about solving our issue. We had our kitchen fixed within less than 48 hours of submitting a request on Angi — and we needed a significant amount of work. He handled it quickly & efficiently, truly went above & beyond, and was more than reasonable with pricing. 10/10! THANK YOU Chris & team! - Meg

Rapid plumbing is amazing. They were on site and working 30 minutes after my request for a free estimate. They did the work quickly and were reasonably priced. Will definitely work with them again in the future.

Chris came to the house right away. He worked tirelessly until he was able to solve the problem and got heat for our family. He is an honest guy and excellent at his job. Could not have asked for a better situation. I cannot recommend chris enough. He is fair and honest.

Professional courteous, and efficient Chris, the owner came in and did a very thorough job. I?m very satisfied with the work that was done.

Joe responded to the request immediate and was able to schedule a visit the next day. He arrived early and went to work immediately. They were clean, efficient and fixed my problem without issue.

Great fast service. Friendly and very knowledgeable. Very professional. I would definitely recommend them.

The job was done quickly, cleanly, professionally. I was very satisfied with this work.

They did a good job and I will hire them again.

It was two days before Thanksgiving, and my old garbage disposal sprung a leak. There was quite a lot of water under the kitchen sink. I immediately bought a new disposal at Home Depot. On a recommendation from Angi, today I called Rapid Plumbing Service. The owner and his assistant arrived on time, assessed the problem and removed the old disposal and installed the new disposal. Their workmanship was excellent. They were extremely professional and very personable. They even checked why I had very little cold water pressure from the faucet and determined that the under sink water filter was not working properly and probably had a clog. I was advised to buy a new filter. I was not charged anything additional for checking the water filter. I would not hesitate to recommend Rapid Plumbing Service for any and all plumbing issues.

Chris from Rapid Plumbing did a marvelous job replacing the boiler and water heater in no time. HIs skills and good predisposition absolutely amazed me. I will definitely call him for any other related issues without a doubt. He certainly deserves more than 5 stars!!!!

very prompt service.

Very nice people to work with very polite and on time

My experience with Chris from Rapid Plumbing in Wantagh was not good. We called him for a leak coming from the boiler relief valve. He came to my house and by just looking at the boiler from afar, he was able to somehow conclude that the boiler would blow up and cause a flood and needed to be replaced as an emergency and he was the right guy to do it for $14,000. How he came to this conclusion, I have no idea but that was the first red flag. I chose to have him fix the problem i called about first to see if he is good. He changed some parts and collected his money and left. Two days later, leak was still persistent which basically meant that not only did he not fix the problem he was called for but decided to change some other parts that were likely not the issue because it certainly did not solve the problem. I called him. He was defensive about the work he did saying that the parts were needed to be changed. When I asked him why the leak had not been fixed after changing the parts, he got very angry and told me to F myself and hung up. Later he texted me to tell me that the work he did was needed on the boiler. Fine. For the benefit of doubt, May be so but that was not the reason he was called. I was out $400 and Chris did not solve the problem he was called for - the leaky relief valve on the boiler. Not only did he not solve the problem but he was unprofessional when I raised concern and he started using words to try and intimidate me. I am putting this review here hoping that others see it and tread carefully when interacting with Chris from Rapid Plumbing, especially if he tells you (without actually investigating the problem that your boiler is about to blow up and the only way out is if you let him replace the boiler for $14,000. To say that this was perhaps the most unethical and dishonest interaction I have had with a repairman in some time would be an understatement. I know he has lots of good reviews also but after my experience, I highly doubt that those reviews are real or accurate. If this review helps even one person avoid being taken advantage of, I would feel better that I saved someone else the pain and disappointment of being taken advantage of. Please be aware of Rapid plumbing tactics and tread carefully when dealing with Chris. He talks a lot and sounds like he knows what he is talking about but that was not my experience with him. He lacks experience as a tradesman, is not professional and frankly is dishonest.

Chris is honest, efficient, skilled, and neat. We were happy with his work.

CHRIS WENT ABOVE and BEYOND!!! I hired Chris of Rapid Plumbing for a quick simple job...to install a new kitchen faucet;...a job that we all expected to take no more than 45-60 minutes. Due to a defective faucet (Amazon, ?)... Chris ended up being at my house for over hours!! And...to save time, he volunteered himself to go pick up some supplies that I ultimately needed to complete the job to my satisfaction...while I had to go to different store to buy another faucet. So...Chris removed 1 old faucet and installed what turned out to be a defective new faucet (that he spent over an hour trying to fix what was an unfixable problem with the faucet)...then removed 'that' defective faucet & installed a "2nd new faucet. Now...given how much additional time & labor he ended up spending on my job, you'd expect that a routine plumber would 'hammer' the homeowner with excessive addition labor charges. HE DID NOT!! So much so, I ended up giving him MORE than the nominal additional charge he suggested - because what he said he was going to charge me I did not feel was enough to properly compensate him for his time & for not leaving me hanging with the defective faucet - because in all honesty, that was not his doing or his problem - it was MINE, and Chris helped me out BIG-TIME!!! I can not thank Chris enough!! I was & am truly impressed with Chris ethics, craftsmanship & responsiveness to his client needs. I will MOST DEFINITELY use Chris/Rapid Plumbing again for all my plumbing needs!!

Chris is very helpful and efficient.

Chris responded right away, came to my home to assess the job the same day and made the necessary repairs the next day. He was neat, professional and reasonable. I would definitely recommend him!

I initially hired Rapid Plumbing to replace a Hot Water Heater (last week) and was so happy with their responsiveness and plumbing expertise that I asked if they could do an annual maintenance on my furnace. We scheduled an appointment, they contacted me that they were on the way, did the maintenance, cleaned up, walked me through what they did, and where on their way.

I contacted Angi, and within minutes Chris from Rapid Plumbing Service gave me a call. I sent him a few pictures, he called me back and said that they could have the new hot water heater installed at 9 AM the next morning for a price that was competitive. Chris called when they were on the way, installed a top quality heater, and in the end cleaned up (as if they were never here). I will be using Rapid Plumbing Service for annual Furnace maintenance next for sure. Thank you Angi for introducing me to Rapid Plumbing Service.

Business owner Chris was the ultimate professional. He found the leaking pipe quickly in a very difficult to navigate crawl space. Working very efficiently he had the pipe repaired and the water for the house back on promptly. Will call Rapid Plumbing first with any future plumbing needs. I also had him back in 2 days later to replace my hot water tank
