4-5 years ago, we had Parks’ Plumbing install their flood prevention system to our sewer line. Outstanding decision! Once per year they provide maintenance. Smooth sailing ever since. They get A plus grades from me! Thanks!

Parks Plumbing is great. Always very responsive and helpful until the problem is solved. Luis and Nathan were at our home today to replace a sump pump and battery back-up and were very professional, explained everything and did a great job.Matt Finnegan works hard to give us the best solutions.Thank you!

I had the crew out for a routine maintenance. They identified an issue with the switch that needed replacing. They had all the parts in their truck and they got everything replaced and buttoned up in no time. Techs were super knowledgeable and friendly. Would never go with a different flood control company or product.

Our experience was Parks was excellent. Parks replaced a lead water line. Design of work was thoughtful and far less disruptive than competing quote. Showed up on time. Finished on time. Excellent job restoring ground/lawn.

They were thorough, polite, left the areas clean. It was not an easy job, most of the work was in a crawl space, so we were very pleased and impressed. They were highly recommended by several of our friends, so I would definitely do the same.

We had a problem that when we flushed one toilet we would hear gurgling in the shower drain and mud room floor drain. We immediately contacted Parks Plumbing and the crew showed up immediately. It was discovered that there was a sewer blockage under our front door. The crew returned a day later to add a new sewer pipe and clean out to access the blockage. Once they saw the blockage it was cleaned and also then discovered by camera that the pipe was cracked underneath the front door. The crew worked in unison, were professional and extremely clean and respectful of our property. All was fixed and we’re so grateful. Thanks Jeff, Keith and Matt!!!

Parks Plumbing and Sewer replaced my sewer main. The crew dug the hole by hand, replaced the broken pipe section, and restored all my landscaping exactly as it was before. Incredible crews, top notch service, and reasonable pricing. I cannot recommend these guys enough and will use them for all my future pluming needs.

Best investment, parks installed in front of my home 2 cast iron check valves and a sump pump. Shortly after installing, a storm hit and flooded the neighborhood but me! Two years later I had them do an inspection and everything was passed with flying colors! You can’t put a price tag on quality work, best investment ever! Thanks again!!

Review 11 (2024-04-18 - Rating: 5)
We called to make an appointment for service due to flyer that came in mail & also my wife noticed that light on receptacle was flickering on & off & sign states call if lights goes out so we killed 2 birds with 1 call . We got lucky that they fit us in that week because technician came out & said that the sump had given out so they gave us estimate & had it replaced now I do know we had it replaced a few years ago but obviously warranty was up but curious how often do they go bad ? Other then that great service & curtious. Thanks for great & prompt service.

We have used Parks Plumbing for major flood proofing work in the past and were very pleased with all their work. We just had them work at our house again -- we wanted to replace the water service line from street into our house, and solicited bids from recommended plumbing companies in our area. Parks Plumbing, the vendor we always prefer to use for the quality of all their work, provided the lowest bid. They spent time with us the week before the work, making sure they understood all issues unique to this old house, and explained every step of the work beforehand in terms that were forthright and clear. They came exactly when they said they would begin and worked every day without interruption until the work was completed. They were very careful to disrupt our yard, lawn, garden, and inside basement as little as possible, and they were meticulous about keeping sites clean and cleaning up after themselves. They answered all questions easily throughout the job. They did the job they promised, finished on schedule, and (a month later) everything works perfectly. They worked smoothly with Village inspectors and their requirements. The final bill was exactly what they estimated -- Parks never adds surprise charges as the job unfolds. We couldnt be more delighted with their work and the final result. We also have and will continue to call Parks Plumbing for all our smaller, routine plumbing jobs -- faucet replacement, toilet problems, etc. They are extremely reliable and their rates are reasonable. The are super-good for all plumbing and sewer work, and very service-oriented every time we need them.

Parks Plumbing is great. The underground storm vault/ backflow preventer they installed is the best thing weve done to our house since we bought it. Weve gone from having an useable basement to a fully built-out and furnished additional level to our home with never a worry about water.Customer service is always great and they provide good information on required maintenance.

Parks Plumbing was able to get me on the schedule quickly and work done was top notch. Technicians were knowledgeable and were able to educate on the ins and outs of the plumbing in my 8 unit condo building. After service they suggested having our catch basin pumped out and their office followed up the next day to schedule service. Amazing customer service and tremendous value. Would highly recommend!

Review 19 (2024-03-20 - Rating: 5)
All the guys at Parks Plumbing were the most courteous and did a great job. I used these guys 28 years ago for overhead sewer installation. They did a great job then and they did a great job on repairing my sewer line on another property this time. These guys should be the first and only call you need to make for your plumbing needs.

Servicemen were very friendly and very helpful. I would use Parks again if needed

Review 21 (2023-03-26 - Rating: 5)
Called Parks to come out and replace the batteries in my Sumpro battery backup system. Their price was comparable to ordering the batteries online and installing them myself, and this way I did not have to be responsible for recycling the old batteries (they weigh around 65 lbs. each). Mike and Alex arrived right at the beginning of the time window I was given. They were both polite, friendly, and very professional. They checked the batteries (which were in need of replacement) and installed new ones. In addition, they were able to diagnose a loud thumping noise from the pump that had been bugging us for years. They replaced the check valve with a new quiet check valve, and viola! No more thump. They tested their work multiple times to make sure that there were no leaks. Finally, they helped to seal an old downspout at ground level in the backyard that had been connected to the sewer line. Mike and Alex were great. In addition to being very personable and professional, they were very meticulous in their work. They paid great attention to detail and did not rush. They also did a nice job cleaning up. I recommend them highly. Thanks, guys!

Ive worked with several plumbers in the past and couldnt be happier with my experience with Parks Plumbing & Sewer. My home was having some type of sewer issues. I called Parks and they were friendly and easy to schedule with! I was able to get scheduled right away and they explained that there were roots obstructing the sewer line. They rodded out the sewer line and everything is working properly now. They were knowledgeable, on time, and resolved the issue. All around a great experience!

PARKS has great customer service . They always call you back timely and schedule your appointment. They send out yearly reminders for check up of flooding control system which we appreciate. the service team that comes out is always professional , honest and experienced. I always call parks when I have any plumbing issues. I also reference them when anyone ask who do I use for plumbing services.

After a massive storm a few years ago our home, as well as a few of our investment properties garden units flooded. After a TON of repair work we decided to protect our home and had Parks install a flood control system at our home. Their office were empathetic and easy to work with, and their crews were reliable and respectful to my wife and I, answering all the questions we had. Our experience was so positive were having Parks install two more systems at our properties, and have switched over to them for most of our home plumbing when needed. You cant go wrong by going with these guys.

Parks plumber began project wrong and made a mess. A follow up plumber (Jim) came out and repaired the mess. A team of sewer workers dug up my basement and replaced a clogged pipe very efficiently in one day. Jim returned the next day and straightened out the piping that the sewer workers did not do correctly. All in all the work was satisfactory.

Review 32 (2022-09-13 - Rating: 4)
This place installed our flood control system 12yrs ago. We have never had a drop of water since. Product and maintenance is great...only downfall is there is no online payment options and you get charged a fee to pay over the phone. So....only option is to mail in a check. For 1, who doesnt have online payment options nowadays?!?! and two...who in the heck still writes checks for ANYTHING?!? Inevitability, I forget and my payment is always late 😕Just strange.

Victor and Liam were great. They were super friendly, did great work, and averted a disaster when my neighbor turned the water back on to the building without checking to see if the plumbing work was finished. Parks Plumbing will be my first call for any plumbing going forward.

Review 37 (2020-06-30 - Rating: 5)
So we have been using Parks for quite some time. We had flood control put in and have them rod out our sewer line regularly. A few years ago we were shown on the camera that there was a break in the line from the house to the main. We were told that it was not bad but should be monitored. This year it had gotten to where it needed repair. We got an estimate to dig up the area and do the repair. While waiting to schedule we realized we had seen these pipes lined on a home improvement show. We were told this was an option. It came in only $200 more than the repair. Now the entire pipe is lined and we are done! No more rodding or worrying about other breaks. The Parks team was efficient and professional. We didnt even know they had been there they are so neat. Matt was very fair and easy to work with.

Everything good, but notes left by crew were a little unclear. Pump reading of 400 means nothing to me, not to mention age of pump. Is a reading of 400 good? Bad? Is pump is 3 years old an indication that it is failing? After 3 years? Had to call to get clarity.

We called Parks for some small plumbing projects at the recommendation of our home inspector. Parks was easy to book with - all done by email - and were able to come out within a week of our initial inquiry. The team - Victor and Liam - arrived on time, were direct and honest in their assessment - even waiving us off work they did not recommend - explained the work thoroughly and quoted us a fair price before starting. They were done with the work we agreed upon before the arrival window closed and the price we got quoted was the price we paid. They also both remained masked and distanced the whole time and were very respectful of us and our home. We were very impressed with their wise counsel, their professionalism, the quality of the work, and the transparent pricing. We will definitely be using Parks again.
