What Our Clients Say

We had the best experience with East Atlantic Plumbing. We have a very old (and what turns out to be very complicated) clawfoot tub and needed a lot of help redoing plumbing and replacing the shower head. Jonathan was beyond helpful and went out of his way to make sure our bathtub was done right. You can tell he really cares about his job and the customers!!! We will continue using East Atlantic for all of our needs in the future.
Professional and personable service.
East Atlantic Plumbing is awesome. THE choice for plumbing work in the Wilmington area. Not only will they do the work, Fran took the time to help me understand the repair. That’s priceless.
10 out of 10 ⭐️!
Matt and Chris were here in under an hour and a half. They were very professional, did a quality job quickly. To only took Matt a few minutes to come up with a solution, they went right to work and I had water in less then 30 minutes and I will never have to deal with the broken water softener again. I highly recommend East Atlantic Plumbing and pipe cleaning for any and all of your plumbing needs.

Nick came out to my house to give me an estimate of some upgrades I wanted to do in my house. Nick was right on time. He was very polite and courteous. He explained everything that had to be done for each upgrade. He was very knowledgeable. He also gave me recommendations for what I needed and what I did not need to have done. I appreciated that.
Thank you, Nick.

My restaurant needed a plumber fast! Matthew answered the phone early Saturday morning and was at my place within 20 minutes. It only took him 20 minutes to troubleshoot and clear the problem. Matthew is an amazing young man both pleasant and polite. The fee was not outrageous give the time of morning and it was a Saturday. I will absolutely use this company again and highly recommend them.
Tech was on time and courteous,very fair on pricing.
Will definitely use them again.

We had a plumbing issue that needed professional attention, and East Atlantic Plumbing came through in a big way. JC arrived promptly and took the time to thoroughly assess the situation before recommending anything — no guesswork, no pressure. He was professional, informative, and walked me through exactly what was going on and what my options were. It’s rare these days to find someone who combines real expertise with that level of customer service. Fair, honest, and quality work. Highly recommend East Atlantic Plumbing — ask for JC!
Very professional, knowledgeable and kind. Look forward to working with this team in the future. I love when I need this group to come out. They’re always so quick. and efficient
The two gentlemen you sent were prompt, courteous, knew exactly what to do. I appreciate all they did then some.
Another great job by East Atlantic! Along with the fixtures for a renovated shower which they were scheduled to install, they were also able to change out the tub fixtures in another bathroom while they were here. The team was experienced, personable and neat.
My awesome plumbers today were JC and Chris. They were very professional and polite. The work was done quickly. They were here at the scheduled time. A couldn't have asked for a better experience. Will be using them again if needed and telling family and friends.
We had an excellent experience with replacement of a leaking water heater. I called first thing in the morning and by 10:30 the installation was complete. I spoke with Jesse and Matt by telephone, JC and Chris came out to provide the service. Everyone was exceptionally kind, professional, and efficient. I was offered several options for replacement and was provided a quote for each of the same-day options. JC and Chris arrived on time, they worked perfectly as a team and left the work area clean and neat. They were very personable and patient answering my questions. I'm grateful for an excellent experience, these folks went above and beyond for us today.
East Atlantic Plumbing exceeded all of my expectations. I woke up early Thursday morning to a leaking water heater and they had it replaced by early afternoon. Quick, courteous, communicative and reasonably priced. You couldn’t expect any better work from any company. I rate them as A+!.
My kitchen sink was blocked and I couldn't get it unblocked with my 33' snake. I called and a plumber was here in a couple hours. I was pleased with the two guys who came. They were nice and got the job done in half an hour. I'm happy to have my sink back but it was an expensive lesson learned!
Quick to schedule an appointment. Received a phone call prior to appointment to let me know they were on the way. I walked outside to meet them. Two young gentlemen walked up with a pep in their step, introduced themselves, very polite and nice manners. I showed them the outside faucet they would be replacing, they hustled to the truck, retrieved tools and quickly started to work. They worked very diligently. Cleaned the work area. Came to the porch to settle the account. Very professional. Very impressed. I was sent an email with a copy of the invoice while they were present, along with photos of the work completed.
JC was great! Very professional and communicated everything clearly. Fixed my leak and cleaned up afterwards! Overall great experience.

You do not have to wait until you have a full-fledged drain blockage. If you notice that all your drains are moving more slowly, this is a sign there is a problem with the main sewer line, and it should be addressed as soon as possible, as a backup could happen before long.

There are several issues that could cause a problem. Tree roots, as already mentioned, are a common cause, but it can also happen from a heavy vehicle driving over the sewer line or ground settling that has caused the pipe to fracture. Rest assured that whether you need hydro-jetting or pipe replacement, our team will do what is necessary to resolve your drain blockage.

Contact us today with any questions you may have or to schedule an appointment to deal with a drain blockage you are experiencing at your home. We also offer commercial plumbing repairs and drain cleaning.
