Real feedback from homeowners who trusted Phoenician Plumbing with their plumbing projects.
"Shower had been dripping for ages. They replaced the cartridge in the valve in about 45 minutes and it has been completely dry ever since. Friendly, fast, and reasonably priced."
"Called for what I thought was a simple leak detection and they found two separate issues — one behind the wall and one under the slab. Fixed both in the same visit. Professional and thorough throughout."
