From the moment Rikardo reached out to me to tell me he was available, he was in constant communication with me. He showed up on time, quickly found the pipe with the leak and quickly replaced it. He was knowledgeable, fast, and professional. He was transparent and top notch. He tested everything before leaving making sure the issue was fully resolved and cleaned up before leaving. I am very pleased with the results. If you ever need a plumber he’s your guy!

Denis knows his stuff. He was like my 6 or 7 call to just get an estimate on some repairs and kept it honest with me. Explained everything in detail and gave me great insight, while others were trying to over charge me for work. When I say overcharge, I mean OVERCHARGE and Denis gave me the real info. Came in fixed one issue, noticed another issue . . .proceeded to give me next steps for the next issue and resolved it all at a reasonable cost. Always shop around in my opinion but Denis did amazing work and I have shared his information with people in my circle to work with him over anyone else. Thank you guys again for the great work.

Empire Plumbing & Heating did an outstanding job resolving a serious drainage issue that had caused flooding in my basement. Their team promptly cleared and replaced the damaged exterior drain pipe, arrived on time, and completed the entire project as scheduled. They took the extra step of thoroughly verifying that all lines were flowing properly before finishing the job. I truly appreciated their professionalism, clear communication, and quality workmanship. I highly recommend Empire Plumbing & Heating to anyone in need of reliable plumbing services.

Rikardo was amazing. He came same day to my home and fixed a defective faucet in the kitchen which almost turned into a nightmare. He was able to fix my problems, replace the faucet and all is now working perfect. Thank you again for your service and professionalism.
