I've lived in Georgetown Township my whole life and never heard of All Area Plumbing. I needed a water-powered sump bump backup system installed so I resorted to Google to search for a quality plumber. I'll tackle most home projects myself, but I've made one bad mistake with plumbing in the past, so I left this project to a professional. I'm so glad I did, because Matt was extremely professional and he answered all of my questions.
I loved the fact that I could text with him directly as well. That's not something you can do easily with other plumbers. Their prices were also very reasonable (several hundred dollars lower than some of the leading competitors) and it was a very pleasant experience overall. I cannot comment enough on how easy of a process this was. I've already recommended them to other people I know. Id be happy to have them come back.

All Area Plumbing was responsive, knowledgeable, friendly, and professional! They consulted via a phone call, then pictures and text messages, then showed up to our house to do the repair. I will hire them again for any plumbing needs moving forward. Service: Plumbing leak repair

I needed a new hot water heater and my neighbor recommended them. I got a quote from Matt and it was very competitive. They arrived as scheduled, and had it replaced in less than 2 hours. Professional, clean and friendly. Thinking of adding a bathroom in basement and will definitely use them for this project. Highly recommend. Service: Water heater installation

Wow, we were SO impressed with All Area Plumbing! Matt was very personable and a great business owner to work with. They provide top quality work and we coudn't be happier with them. We called Matt for a quote to finish our basement and he returned a detailed quote the same day. I called back and he got us into his schedule 2 days later. Can't speak highly enough about this business! Highly recommend.

This is the second time I have used All Area Plumbing and both have been great experiences. This visit they came to install a free standing ice maker. They were efficient, friendly and reasonably priced. Will be continuing to use them in the future!

I called about a leaky toilet and they were able to come the next day. Unfortunately, the leak was only from loose fittings that needed tightening, not the wax seal replacement which I was expecting. It took Jordan 15 minutes to tighten the fittings and make sure the toilet was no longer leaking, and I paid him the $80 he asked. Yes, I know with plumbers there's a minimum, but this was my first time using his company and I was kind of hoping for a good-will discount. Sorry, I'm just mad as I should have checked the fittings beforehand. It's the first thing you do with a leak. Next time maybe I can provide a review that's based more on their plumbing expertise.

I had a situation where my basement flooded. Once the water was removed, I contacted this company and spoke with Matt. He was very caring and helpful during this time where I was frantic and stressed out. He and Jordan came over the very next morning, fixed the plumbing leak and also replaced the water heater (which was not working after the water incident). He was very kind and personable, very professional, reasonably priced and did a great job. If you want a plumber that will treat you very good and do an excellent job, call Matt.

I highly recommend this company for any plumbing job. I have hired them for both my personal residence and for my five family apartment building. They are honest, trustworthy and do quality work. They also clean up after themselves and charge a fair price. My family also uses their services.

I would recommend Matt from all area plumbing any time. He answered the phone personally when I called and came out 4 hours later. Very fair prices, and professional service. He even put booties on his work boots so he wouldn't get our home dirty. Great guy, great service, great experience.

These guys are great professionals. I've used them in the past year to install a new shower/tub unit and install a water line to our refrigerator. They took the time to clearly explain our options and worked around our schedules to efficiently finish the work. I highly recommend!
