Lou is honest, reliable and straightforward. You can tell he does things the right way and takes pride in that fact. As another reviewer noted, he immediately noticed the half-assed work done by the people who rehabbed my home. He quickly diagnosed the reason why I was getting water in my basement (rehabbers did not replace part of the sewer line). He also talked me down on a Saturday night during a rain storm when water was POURING through 2 holes in my basement walls. I was able to schedule him for major work very quickly; he got all the permits, not fuss, showed up on time (a bit early), did the work, cleaned up after a messy job, and was a pleasure to work with throughout. If you are looking for an honest, reliable and experienced plumber, Lou is your man.
Description of Work: Replaced my curb trap, water box, and part of my sewer line from house to street.

Lou DiGiovanni is the real deal. I had an idea of what I thought would be a solution to the overflow problem, which he patiently listened to. Once we got to the basement, though, he saw the problem right away and was legitimately annoyed by the sloppy work done by the contractors who built my house (Apex). Tacking up the tubes and shimming the one pipe didn't actually have anything to do with the issue at hand, but he did it for free because he felt that it was the right thing to do. He's not the most personable guy, a little gruff, but I didn't need a best friend, I needed someone to make my washing machine operable. He gave me an estimate up front which was exactly what I paid. He came right on time and it took exactly as long as he said it would. When I had more overflow issues in September, he came back, added some pipe to make me happy, didn't charge me a cent, and said I just needed to be changing my mesh filters more regularly. Unfortunately, he let me down recently when I had a plumbing emergency. I called his cell and he didn't get back to me until much later in the evening, citing some issue with his phone not showing him missed calls. I don't know if he needs to replace his phone, if he forgot to check it, or whatever, but ya gotta pick up your emergency line.
Description of Work: Fixed washing machine overflow issue by changing the location of the connection so it was up to code and added extra PVC pipe. Also tacked up hanging water tubes and adjusted the slope of a pipe so the water wouldn't have to fight gravity.

This was my second appointment with Lou. He came on short notice over the summer when I had a leaking faucet right before a vacation. At that point we discussed my need for his check valve, which he installed at this appointment. He answered my many questions. He's easy to reach and communicate with.
Description of Work: Installed a check valve in my basement plumbing. Fixed a valve in my toilet bowl.

I have already recommended him to friends and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a great, professional plumber.
Description of Work: I had a leaking pipe under my utility sink and I knew the fix would require changing out the piece of pipe. I sent Lou a message over the weekend and he contacted me first thing Monday morning. He was able to come by later that morning, gave me a very reasonable quote for fixing the problem and did fantastic work for the price quoted even though the job was more complex than originally thought.

I was able to get an appointment within 24 hours of contacting Lou. He came out and was able to quickly resolve the problem. I would definitely recommend him to a friend of family member, and he will be the first person I call for any plumbing or HVAC needs going forward.
Description of Work: I had a leak in a line to one of my radiators. Lou replaced the section that was leaking and got my heat back up and running in almost no time.

We couldn't be more pleased. Received a recommendation from a friend. Called Lou and he came out that afternoon (Friday) to have a look and give us a fair and reasonable estimate. He was here promptly on Monday morning to do the work. Everything was done quickly and cleanly and took about an hour total. If you didn't know he had been here, you wouldn't have been able to tell. Fantastic work, and a really nice guy as well.
Description of Work: One toilet replaced entirely. One toilet repaired and reset.

We have radiator heat and on 2/27 I noticed the radiators in my room, the kitchen and two other rooms were not working however the other radiators were. I called Lou on 2/27 and left a message; he called me that morning and we made arrangements for him to come by in the afternoon on 3/1. Lou called before he came and arrived shortly thereafter. I've known Lou for over 10 years; he's done all our plumbing since we moved into this house so he's familiar with our system. He and George diagnosed the problem right away and replaced the part. I received a detailed bill with a recommendation to call for service before I turn the heat on in the fall. I'm always satisfied with their work and highly recommend this company.
Description of Work: We needed a new heating circulator because some of our radiators were not producing heat. The part was replaced, system drained and filled in less than 30 minutes.

He would still my my plumber if he was in the area where I live. Trustworthy and great plumber
Description of Work: Louis was our plumber in S Phila for years, however we moved 11 years ago and we can no longer employ his services because of the distance. He was the best. Honest, courteous and professional. He did many jobs in our home (replaced main sewer line, leaky faucets and replaced several pipes)and always guided us in the right direction with honesty. I wish we had access to him now. He is terrific. We got to know him on a one to one friendly basis since he also lived down the street from us.

Great
Description of Work: Needed to fix a clogged sink and a leaky toilet. He needed to refer us to a roto-router cleaner for the sink, but fixed the toilet. I had assumed we needed a new garbage disposal at the sink, but he checked it out and said the problem was a clogged line. This plumber is timely, honest, and capable. I would recommend and would use again. This is our 2nd experience with him and he does good work.

A great experience. The crew showed up on time, worked steadily in the August heat, and were done by early afternoon. Very professional and courteous.
Description of Work: Replaced several sections of sewer line; in the basement of the house, plus the segment under the sidewalk going to the street. To access the line, they had to remove a block of sidewalk and dig down to the line; in the basement they had to break up the floor. They repaired the floor when they were though, and cleaned up, sweeping up the dust and debris.

They were on time and courteous. They were neat and quick and the price was well worth it for the good service.
Description of Work: Louis and his assistant repaired my toilet on the second floor of my row home and serviced my heater. I also received basic verbal estimates for projects I'm thinking about taking on. Louis was able to respond to three requests for estimates and I am planning on calling them back to complete them in the future.

When I called Lou's number, my call was answered by a real person. Lou called me back the same day I left a message and then came to my house the following day for the job. He is very good at explaining things and was very professional. I have used him for 2 other items previously and have always been satisfied.
Description of Work: Installed new kitchen faucet and installed new parts in toilet tank. We also discussed a possible leak in the shower but decided not to do anything at this point.
