Believe the reviews, this company is a scam and will take advantage. They sent a tech to check my grinder, said it needs to be replaced. Tech said himself... a new grinder is somewhere between $1500-$2000. With that, I figured can't be more than 4k to do this job. They said they'd be back 8am next day to do the job. Never sent the estimate, I texted and called the ""24/7"" number to get the estimate multiple times and no response. With this I had a feeling they were going to try to take advantage of the urgency and just as expected he sends me an estimate for $8000 an hour before they were to do the job! I know better, he called me on the phone and says, ""he obviously told you price for wrong pump, no grinder costs that"", I mentioned well then I don't feel comfortable and he hung up on me. He is VERY RUDE and a scam artist. I got another plumbing company to come out same day for the same job and doing the same job with the EXACT SAME PUMP for less than $2800. DO NOT USE, he wants gullible customers.

I left a review on 7/29 about this company thinking it couldn't be any worse, guess what it is. After charging me $6000.00 for 2 days labor they left my vapor barrier a mess, my insulation is down and my new pipes exposed. I don't think they have a conscious. DO NOT USE THESE PEOPLE!!!

These people came in my house before to do a job with my faucet and after they left I had a leak, I call them to tell them about it and they said it fixed, there was no more leak, but the other problem was the head of the faucet to pull to have water to travel to to the shower head couldn't stay, so I call them again the other day, they came and the first thing they have me signed 3 times on their phone, I wasn't told what I was signing except for the work, was never told the price, they made the shower working but with a bill of $2045,00 . There I am having not that kind of money and they asked me to posting a check for later to be cash, that $ 2045,00 really hurt me , they want me to post for next month the check, what kind of business is that? I only call them people to refix the work that they done before, please someone help me. Thank you

Proof they were lying saying that I wasn't a customer, which I'm not proud or happy saying I was their customer. That was the biggest mistake I have ever made. They are horrible. The worse of the worse!!!!

Showed up and told me my gas valve was no good and that the furnace was discontinued and was not able to order parts. Stated I needed a new Furnace, when confronted about possibly given the wrong diagnose, Kevin stated he would come out the next day to look at problem. Finally get a call 2 days later looking to come out. Already had another company repair furnace, all they did was change the expansion tank saving me hundreds if not thousands of dollars. BEWARE !!

I woke up to a house with no water and contacted my usual plumber. After assessing the situation, he informed me that the piping from the well to the house was corroded and needed replacement. This job was something he did not do, so he put me in touch with KMB Plumbing. Kevin responded to my problem in a timely fashion, understanding that my house had no water. The technician that came to inspect the existing plumbing was respectful, knowledgeable and thorough. He recommended a process for replacing the original pipe that did not involve any digging, and he discussed my options concerning replacement materials. Based on his recommendations, I chose an option that would resolve the problem and was not overly expensive. Chase and Ryan (the technicians) showed up punctually and, within a few hours, I had water, and with a pressure that I'd never enjoyed before. I have to admit that I don't understand some of the negative reviews that have been posted here; I'm VERY satisfied with this supplier and would use them again and recommend to others.

With winter coming, it was time to get my home generator tuned up. I called around for some estimates, and KMB beat the others by 20%! I called them on Friday afternoon and they were here first thing Monday morning.
The two techs, Kris and Dave, were knowledgeable and polite, they had the work done in no time at all. There was no hassle, no mess and they notified us a half hour before they arrived.
If your in North East PA, I strongly recommend KMB for your Plumbing and Electrical.

The grinder pump failed in my recently purchased home. Being new to area, I found KMB in a church bulletin and called them. they arrived the next day with a replacement. The two men removed the failed pump and dropped the new one in, but they had problems with the automatic shutoff. They spent an hour trying to fix the problem and finally diagnosed a defective float valve in the new pump! They replaced the valve with one they had on truck. Then I was presented with a huge bill for the pump which was double (over $4000) what I had paid in the past for similar sewer pump and four man hours for what should have been a one hour job. I complained to Kevin that the float diagnosis was their problem.
He deducted one man hour and I paid the bill.
Shortly thereafter, I discovered that there was a sewage leak around the grinder well. I called and KMB sent two men and a truck. It turned out that the PVC junction on top of the grinder pump was cracked (I believe from pump install).
They fixed it and I was satisfied until I got the bill. KMB charged me for two men and a truck ($596) to replace a single PVC fitting!
Now I am having trouble with the pump not shutting off but I am looking for another plumber.

I encountered Kevin Michael Berry, owner of KMB Plumbing and Electrical, when I went to contract on a home owned by him. He was to do all construction. After telling my attorney he can not meet our closing date, he is trying to charge me nearly $4,000 for poorly constructed kitchen cabinets in a 50 square kitchen that he told me WOULD BE OF NO COST TO ME!! And -- get this -- charging me $7,000 for LESS THAN 1,000 square feet of bamboo floor picked out by ME at Home Depot and costing $2.69 per square foot. I even have the flooring agreement in writing!

Now he claims there is a guage in my kitchen floor that he says was DONE BY ME yet he won't let me in the house to see the alledged damage I caused. (After four months of giving me free access to the property).

Unfortunately, YELP makes you give at least one star to post this review. I do not give this man one star.
