Where this list comes from
How these were found.
The plumbers above were identified from public business records for Philadelphia and are shown with their public Google rating and review count. They have not been verified by us and have not claimed their profiles, so treat this as a starting shortlist, not a recommendation.
A business that claims its free profile can add its licence number, insurance carrier and years in business — details you can check yourself at the official PA source. Completeness is what moves a listing up; nothing here is for sale.
Before you get quotes
What drives plumbers pricing in Philadelphia.
Freeze reality: Winter lows average 27.8°F in the coldest month — pipe insulation, hose-bib and irrigation blowouts are seasonal work here, and burst-pipe calls cluster on the first hard freeze.
Before you sign: verify the license at the official PA source, collect three same-scope bids (how), and compare them side by side — free, no signup.

The math, in the open: plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters in the Philadelphia area earn $30.60–$48.55/hour (median $35.99) per the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, May 2025. A legitimate business bills 2–2.5× wages to cover payroll taxes, insurance, equipment, overhead and profit, which puts fair billed labor at about $61–$121/hour. Multiply by the typical labor-hours for your job and you get the range above.
This is an educational estimate, not a quote. Access, condition, season and materials move real prices. Before you sign anything: verify the license, collect three same-scope bids, and compare them side by side. Full guide: every plumbers job priced for Pennsylvania.
