Reviews highlight fast response times, including after-hours visits, and clear communication about what will be done. Several customers mention efficient drain clearing and fair, straightforward pricing compared with prior estimates. A few note courteous technicians and helpful recommendations for longer-term fixes. There is at least one complaint about a missed service due to parking issues during an urgent no-heat situation.

A. Meri Rodriguez on 1896 Plumbing & Heating Inc.

Don't use them they're very unprofessional. I waited most of the day for service on a non-working boiler while caring for a toddler in a cold home. When the technician finally arrived, he refused to provide service and left immediately because the parking situation wasn’t “ideal.” This was an urgent no-heat situation, and leaving without even attempting to help was unacceptable and put my family at risk.

All plumbers are not equal!!! I had Landry’s come out to change a faucet, I had purchased. All the guys were nice except it turned into a long appointment where they couldn’t turn off the water so… the new estimate was about 300% more. 1896/The Drain Guys came out and had it all fixed in an hour for a fraction of the cost. The best thank you!!!!

Paul Bergeron Jr on 1896 Plumbing & Heating Inc.

Called after hours on a Friday and they showed up right away to handle the problem. This is the second time I’ve had then in my old Worcester home to assist with old pipes. Communication was A+ and they solved the drain issue quickly and professionally. After the job was complete, they made recommendations to resolve the main issues moving forward. I won’t hesitate to call in the future for any drain needs. Thanks so much!

These guys will definitely take care of all your plumbing needs. Thanks Cleber and your staff for taking care of me when needed. No issues, definitely a good referral to anyone in need of service.

I recently experienced a sewer backup, and 1896 Plumbing Services was able to assist with the repair. They were efficient, punctual, and offered their services at a reasonable price. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of plumbing services.
