Petro Plumbing Service

We pulled permits to remodel our Condo in Cocoa Beach identifying Petro as Plumber of choice to install new shower valve, move vanity water to another wall, and raise the hot/cold feed lines to kitchen. Plus all bathroom/kitchen drain/vent lines. We raised ceiling and had to raise the copper feed lines to kitchen. Monday the new 90 degree elbow was not properly sweat fitted so it leaked noticeably. After shutting off main feed to our stack it took hours before they got a seal (I understand once water in line tough to drain and get solder to work). Tuesday I noticed water seeping on the bathroom floor and hallway. We had a micro leak at elbow. They came out and confirmed elbow leaking. Wednesday, after shutting off water to 4 condo units, several hours later they finally got a good seal. After tiling shower, I called for trimout (installation of fixtures). The facia plate to valve did not fit because valve was protruding 1"""" outside of tile. Only solution was to cut 12""""x15"""" of newly installed tile out so plumber could put in thinner valve. The next day I had a different plumbing company come out to quote my other bathroom, as I was not going to use Petro. The new plumber said, """"You have a micro drip leak on the hot water feed into the valve, it appears that they used teplon tape instead of brush on stuff that doesn't react to heating up pipe when sweat fitting valve"""". No other plumber would fix the job since Petro was on the permit. While they were putting in my shower head pipe they scratched my glass tiled ceiling. Also they put shower head pipe too high which means my square escutcheon had to be cut like a horseshoe as it could not be mounted on shower arm and turned without scratching glass tile. I spent over $1000 for new valve, tile work and general contractor problem solving. They billed me $950 for trimout. We called it even :(. Lastly, they kept calling and emailing me wanting $400 for shower pan installation that we paid same day, check deposited next day. We emailed copies of deposited check front and back TWICE. This went on for 3 weeks!!! Terrible experience, Avoid, Terrible experience, Avoid!! Todd, Cocoa Beach

I had a plumbing emergency over the weekend. Other companies I called told me it would be 4 to 5 hours or the next day. When I called Petro they sent someone out within the hour. The plumber managed to get my toilet unclogged within 10 minutes or so. I was given a break on the billing so I'm most appreciative. I'd recommend this company to my friends.

We had a back up in our main line. We called this company to come out on Sunday they talk to us into coming out Monday morning for a little bit less. The guys were pretty thorough and clear the line pretty quick. Asked about camera services. Their price was absolutely ridiculous. Not even three days later the line backed up again the company stated that they only warrantee a mainline cleaning for 48 hours, which is pretty ridiculous in my opinion, long story short they charged us another $375 to clear the exact same problem that we've had. Luckily we have not had that issue sense will never use them again.

I've used Petro twice recently at our commercial property and they were able to show up promptly when no one else would. Their techs were polite and were quite knowledgeable. Our issues were diagnosed quickly and resolved the problems in a timely manner and at a very fair price. In the future, we will use Petro for all our plumbing needs on Merritt Island.

Very horrible company to work for or do business with they will half way do the job or leave it unfinished you're better off going with a different plumbing company. They never have the parts they need to do the job correctly and they can't afford to buy the parts either because Brian petro is broke and going out of Business!!!

I needed a backed up drain cleared. Not the most complex of jobs. When the men arrived, and before they even looked at the job, they quoted a price that was $50 higher than the price quoted on the phone They went up on the roof and snaked something, I'm not sure what (see below) and left, all in about 20 minutes For about 6 days there was no back-up. Then it started backing up again on a SaturdayI called and got the answering service (they're not available in the office on weekends) who contacted the technician who called back and told me that """"although they only guarantee their work for FIVE DAYS (emphasis, mine)"""" they'd come out on Monday and """"MIGHT not charge for it"""" By monday I thought better of it and canceled them and called another plumber. He came out and spent over an hour snaking out huge amounts of grease that were left untouched by the Petro guys And he charged less And he gave us a compound to pour down the drain to keep it clean DO NO USE HESE PEOPLE!!!

Plumbing contractors often get a bad rap for service and price. I'd like to recommend a local plumbing contractor as a company that hasn't forgotten what customer service should be. Last spring (2020) Petro Plumbing replaced my old water heater that was rusting and leaking. The installation went smoothly, and I was satisfied with the price. Everything appeared to be good. Unfortunately, five months after installation, the new heater failed. Petro responded quickly, and replaced a heating coil, at no cost to me. Two days later, the heater failed again. I spent several hours talking the heaters manufacturer but felt like I was getting the runaround. They wanted to replace parts but wouldn't replace the heater. Meanwhile, I was going on a week without hot water. I contacted Petro Plumbing again, and they came out, replaced the heater (with another brand), and charged me nothing. If you have plumbing issues, or need a new water heater, I highly recommend Brian Petro and Petro Plumbing.

Be very careful using this company, they will scam you and you won't be getting what you think. We needed our hot water recirculating pump replace on our water heater. The pump we were having replaced was a heavy duty pump with a built in timer on it. They quoted me a price and led me to believe they were replacing with a like for like. Instead, they replaced it with a cheap piece of crap pump with no timer, which runs 24/7. When I told him that was not the correct pump and it was supposed I wanted it replaced with what was there before, he said it would cost me an additional 300.00!

I don't write many reviews on yelp anymore however, Petro Plumbing did a great job today and I felt it warranted a review. Called the main office yesterday regarding replacing an exterior hose bib that has seen better days (30 years ago). They gave me a fair price estimate and told me they'd be here between 10-12 the following day. This morning they called at around 0830 and said they had someone on the way and they'd be there at 0900. Whoa! Punctuality gets two thumbs up! Leon was my technician. He was friendly and took one look at the bib, knew exactly what was needed, and was done in about 45 minutes. He also was patient with me (since I am always curious and like to ask questions and see how things are done). Called and made payment and everything was done. Saved me the trouble of having to go to the hardware store multiple times, spending money for things I didn't need, and not to mention the frustration that I would have inevitably met trying to repair on my own. Thanks Petro Plumbing!
