John the Plumber
Company Overview
John the Plumbing Expert is a family-operated service with over a hundred years of combined expertise. Our goal is to deliver assistance that exceeds your needs. We would be grateful if you allowed our crew to help your family.
Our trade heritage goes back to the early 1900s in the Garden State, where our ancestor first learned the trade. He founded Krobatsch Plumbing and Heating in the 1940s, which is where our father John followed the family tradition. Our parents fell in love with South Florida and vacationed in the Pompano Beach area every year. During one of their trips, they discovered a deal on a property they couldn't resist. In an instant, they sold our property in New Jersey and moved to our family's favorite vacation location.
John the Plumbing Expert was founded in Pompano Beach in 1979 as a solo operation. Our parent, John, had no lofty goals; he simply wanted to deliver quality assistance to his patrons. His vision of settling in South Florida had come true, allowing him to establish a stable home and business. Sadly, our father passed away from cancer in 1987 at the age of 53.
At that moment, his children, John and David, acquired the company from our parent. Both John and David had extensive plumbing background before taking over the company; plumbing was virtually their only line of work since they were teenagers. John had launched his own venture, and David was the lead plumber of a big local plumbing business at the time of our father's passing. Rather than letting the reputation our dad had built over the years waste away, they opted to become partners. They worked together in the only truck the company owned until they gathered enough funds to purchase an extra truck and supplies. John and David managed the company out of our mother's residence until 1999 when the company needed additional room to grow. At that point, the third son, Michael, became part of the company full-time. Michael also had substantial plumbing experience, having assisted with John and David since he was young and while enrolled in college.

Recommended Customer Reviews

Decided to use a local company and it paid off. The work has held up well and Jake did a fantastic job working on 2 bathrooms.

I called the on Tuesday, they made an appt for Friday 12pm -5pm. On Friday at 3:50pm a woman called and rudely said they didn't need to come to give me a quote on installing a new shower pan. They can do it over the phone. So I said, I wish I was told when I called or before I waited from 12pm to 3:50pm of my time and changed other appts to be home waiting. She had a major attitude and never apologized for the inconvenience and started lecturing me about the work. I said, """" you know what, GOODBYE!"""" Bad business attitude.

Adam Powell with John the Plumber was amazing! John The Plumber company installed a water heater for me and their installer, Adam, really was a breath of fresh air. He was professional, efficient, polite and just an overall wonderful attitude. He clearly knew his trade. It was a joy to have him install our water heater. I'd use John the Plumber again and would recommend other homeowners to do the same.

I was updating my kitchen and two bathrooms. I also had miscommunication as I called and did not receive a call back. I hired another plumber who started my plumbing and I had a lot of problems with them. From shoddy work to other negative issues. In desperation I called back John the Plumber and they called me right back during a weekend. I am so happy that I called back. They came and finished the job. Very prompt and quality work. I highly recommend them.

Had Andrew come to fix my toilet. He was knowledgeable, and diagnosed the issues. Was able to fix all the issues. Highly recommended.

I kept seeing """"John the Plumber"""" on my Facebook groups and Nextdoor. People seem to be very happy with them. So I reached out to them for the service in my shower. My problem in the shower is that the water pressure gets pitifully slow when I turn the water to hot but back to normal flow when it is cold. The problem has been looked at by 6 to 7 big and small, prominent and reputable plumbing companies in the area just to lead me to further distressed on time wasted and Fees paid while shower issue not being resolved. Until Andrew from John the Plumber came and looked at my shower. Andrew looks young but don't let his age fools you! He solved the problem within mins and as soon as he opened up the shower handle. Andrew is truly my life-saver!! I was told by many other plumbers that I had to break the wall and redo the pipings inside and I was looking at a $2000+ job but Andrew, with one quick look, pinpointed the problem and resolved it right on site without delay. I am so sold!! I am calling them again in early March on another property and all of my future plumbing issues. I highly recommend them!!

Two people came and both had masks on. They replaced a faulty part. Service was excellent. They showed up in less than 24 hours of my calling them. Would recommend them very highly. We have been using their services for over 20 years.

They were prompt and honest in their evaluation. I had the good fortune of Mike the plumber who was very thorough and ensured everything was ruled out before coming up with recommendations. I would highly recommend them without reservation!

My hot water heater died suddenly. I called John the Plumber and they had a new water heater installed a few hours after I called. The serviceman, Shaun, was very efficient and left the place very clean. He was quick, but he did take the time to explain everything to me. I have used John the Plumber several times in the past and will continue to use them for my plumbing problems.

My wife and I both really love the service provided by this company. This is our second time having them come to make a repair. This time our water faucet on the shower broke. Shawn came to replace it but found that he had the new style type that is not compatible with our old style faucet control. But he suggested that we just order it ourselves and he showed me how to replace it and he even helped me order the correct part online, and did not charge us any fee at all! We couldn't ask for any more fair and honest and courteous service. Great company. We highly recommend John the Plumber!
