Plumber in Lehigh Valley: 8 Local Plumbers, Hours and Reviews Compared
Quick Answer: Our directory tracks eight plumbers in the Lehigh Valley: three in Allentown, three in Easton, and two serving Bethlehem. Every one of them rates 4.8 or higher, so rating alone will not separate them. What does separate them is hours and review depth. Five of the eight list themselves as open 24 hours, seven days a week: Schuler Service, Elek Plumbing, Agentis Plumbing, Plumbing Pros, and Tim Beil Plumbing. Schuler Service carries 3,777 reviews at a 4.9 rating in our directory data, nearly half of all the plumber reviews we track. If you want a smaller shop with a perfect score, Favazza Plumbing in Easton holds a 5.0 across 267 reviews, but it keeps weekday hours plus Saturday morning and is closed Sundays.
Key Takeaways:
- Five of eight list 24/7 hours: Schuler Service, Elek Plumbing, Agentis Plumbing, Plumbing Pros, and Tim Beil Plumbing all show "Open 24 hours" for every day of the week in their Google listings.
- Seven of eight have Sunday hours: Favazza Plumbing is the one plumber on our list that is closed Sundays. Top Notch Plumbing is open Sunday from 7 AM to 1 PM.
- Deepest review record: Schuler Service in Allentown has 3,777 reviews. The next largest, Elek Plumbing, has 1,090.
- Highest rating: Favazza Plumbing in Easton is the lone 5.0 among the eight, across 267 reviews.
- Tight rating spread: Seven of the eight sit at 4.9 or 5.0. Agentis Plumbing, at 4.8 across 1,055 reviews, is the lowest, and it is still excellent.
- Shortcut: For a middle-of-the-night leak, start with the 24-hour listings closest to you. For planned work in Easton on a weekday, Favazza Plumbing and Top Notch Plumbing are worth a call.
Which Lehigh Valley plumbers are in our directory?
Here are all eight, sorted by review count. Ratings and review counts are from our directory data, and hours come from each business's Google listing.
- Schuler Service (Allentown, 1314 W Tilghman St): 4.9 rating, 3,777 reviews. Open 24 hours, every day.
- Elek Plumbing (Allentown, 4718 Broadway): 4.9 rating, 1,090 reviews. Open 24 hours, every day.
- Agentis Plumbing (Bethlehem, 2678 Butztown Rd): 4.8 rating, 1,055 reviews. Open 24 hours, every day.
- Plumbing Pros (Easton, 1706 Washington Blvd): 4.9 rating, 673 reviews. Open 24 hours, every day.
- Robinson Plumbing (Allentown, 1926 W Allen St): 4.9 rating, 656 reviews. Open 6 AM to 9 PM, every day.
- Tim Beil Plumbing (listed under Bethlehem; address on Mauser St in Laurys Station): 4.9 rating, 424 reviews. Open 24 hours, every day.
- Favazza Plumbing (Easton, 513 W Lincoln St): 5.0 rating, 267 reviews. Monday to Friday 7:30 AM to 5 PM, Saturday 9 AM to noon, closed Sunday.
- Top Notch Plumbing (Easton, 2221 Meadow Ln Dr): 4.9 rating, 91 reviews. Monday to Saturday 7 AM to 7 PM, Sunday 7 AM to 1 PM.
Together those eight businesses account for 8,033 reviews. The geography is fairly even: Allentown and Easton each have three, and Bethlehem has two. Note that Tim Beil Plumbing is filed under Bethlehem in our directory, but its street address is in Laurys Station, north of Allentown, so check that it covers your area before you call.
Which plumbers are open 24 hours in the Lehigh Valley?
This is the question that matters most when water is on the floor. Five of the eight plumbers in our directory list "Open 24 hours" for all seven days:
- Allentown: Schuler Service and Elek Plumbing
- Bethlehem area: Agentis Plumbing and Tim Beil Plumbing
- Easton: Plumbing Pros
That gives every one of the three cities at least one round-the-clock option. A 24-hour listing on Google means the business has posted those hours; it is not a promise about how fast a truck arrives at 3 AM. When you call, ask directly whether a technician can come tonight and whether after-hours rates apply.
The reviews back up the idea that these shops do answer off-hours calls. One Agentis Plumbing reviewer described an after-hours emergency and credited the technician's patience with getting them through it. A Plumbing Pros reviewer found sewage backed up in their basement on a Monday morning right after a major snowstorm and still got help that day. Another Plumbing Pros customer called late on a Saturday afternoon and had a technician stop by as soon as he wrapped up his previous job.
Who is open early, late, or on Sunday without being 24/7?
Three plumbers keep set hours, and they differ in useful ways:
- Robinson Plumbing is open 6 AM to 9 PM, seven days a week. That is the widest non-24-hour window on our list, and the 6 AM start is handy if you want someone out before work. One reviewer wrote that they had called five other plumbing companies without a response and Robinson was the one with same-day availability.
- Top Notch Plumbing is open 7 AM to 7 PM Monday through Saturday and 7 AM to 1 PM on Sunday. A reviewer with a gas pipe that the utility had flagged as unsafe said the company fit them in the same day they called and came back the next morning with parts.
- Favazza Plumbing keeps the shortest schedule: 7:30 AM to 5 PM on weekdays, 9 AM to noon on Saturday, and closed Sunday. It is the one plumber in our directory with no Sunday hours.
Local rule of thumb: Save two numbers before you need them: one 24-hour plumber near you for emergencies, and one set-hours shop for planned work. The worst time to research plumbers is while you are holding a towel against a burst pipe.
Which Lehigh Valley plumber has the most reviews?
Schuler Service, by a wide margin. Its 3,777 reviews are more than three times the count of any other plumber we track, and it holds a 4.9 rating across all of them.
After Schuler, three plumbers sit in the thousand-review range or close to it: Elek Plumbing (1,090), Agentis Plumbing (1,055), and then a step down to Plumbing Pros (673) and Robinson Plumbing (656). Tim Beil Plumbing has 424, Favazza Plumbing 267, and Top Notch Plumbing 91.
Review count is not a quality score, but it is a confidence score. A 4.9 across 91 reviews and a 4.9 across 3,777 reviews say the same thing about the average customer, and very different things about how sure you can be.
Which plumber has a perfect 5.0 rating?
Favazza Plumbing in Easton is the lone 5.0 among the eight, across 267 reviews in our directory data. That volume is enough to take seriously. The recent reviews describe replacing outdoor water valves with a frost-proof hydrant, replacing a water line (and finishing with a sidewalk repair), and responding quickly to a sewer backup after another plumber had said they could not come for days.
The trade-off is hours. If your problem happens on a Sunday, or after 5 PM on a weekday, Favazza will not be open, and you will want one of the 24-hour shops instead.
What kinds of jobs do reviewers mention most?
Reading the recent reviews for all eight plumbers, a few job types come up again and again. None of this is a list of every service these companies offer; it is what customers wrote about.
- Water heaters: Reviewers mention water heater work at Elek Plumbing, Plumbing Pros, Top Notch Plumbing, and Tim Beil Plumbing, including a tankless hot water installation at Tim Beil.
- Water filtration and softeners: A Schuler Service reviewer described well water testing followed by a filtration system for a parent's home. A Robinson Plumbing reviewer had a whole-house water filtration system installed. Tim Beil Plumbing reviewers mention water softener service and filter changes.
- Sewer and water lines: Agentis Plumbing (a main sewer line in a 1950s home), Plumbing Pros (a sewage backup), and Favazza Plumbing (a water line replacement and a sewer backup) all have reviews describing this kind of work.
- Leaks and repairs: A Robinson Plumbing reviewer described a hairline crack that caused a slow leak through ceiling drywall. An Agentis reviewer had older plumbing replaced with only one tile sacrificed in the next room.
- Frozen pipes: A Tim Beil Plumbing reviewer had frozen pipes and no water, and a technician came out on a cold Saturday to fix it.
- Fixtures: Faucets and shower valves show up in reviews for Elek Plumbing and Schuler Service.
What do reviewers say about price?
Price is where the reviews get most honest, and it is worth reading them before you call. One Elek Plumbing reviewer praised the flat-rate, upfront pricing; another, while happy with the work, called the price "over the top." A Plumbing Pros reviewer described the company as "a little pricey" but added that you get what you pay for. A Schuler Service customer said that, all things considered, the price was not outrageous. On the other side, a Top Notch Plumbing reviewer specifically called out fair pricing and no surprises, and a Favazza Plumbing reviewer described their plumber as affordable.
Six of the eight carry a "$" price level on Google, meaning moderate. For non-urgent work, getting two quotes is a reasonable step.
Which plumbers take debit or contactless payment?
All eight accept credit cards, according to their Google listings. Schuler Service, Elek Plumbing, and Agentis Plumbing also list debit cards, and Schuler Service lists contactless payments as well. If you plan to pay some other way, confirm it on the call.
How do I pick the right plumber for my situation?
Start with the problem, then the clock, then the town:
- Active leak or no water, after hours: Call a 24-hour listing near you. In Allentown, that is Schuler Service or Elek Plumbing. Around Bethlehem, Agentis Plumbing or Tim Beil Plumbing. In Easton, Plumbing Pros.
- Urgent but during the day, including weekends: Add Robinson Plumbing (6 AM to 9 PM daily) and Top Notch Plumbing (open Sunday mornings) to the list.
- Planned work in Easton: Favazza Plumbing and Top Notch Plumbing both have strong records with smaller review counts, which often means you reach a smaller team.
- Want the most evidence behind a rating: Schuler Service, with 3,777 reviews.

What should I ask before a plumber comes out?
A few questions save time and money no matter which company you call:
- Is there a trip or diagnostic fee, and is it applied to the repair?
- Do after-hours or weekend rates apply right now? This matters most with the 24-hour shops.
- Can you give a flat-rate quote before starting? Several reviewers mention getting pricing upfront and appreciating it.
- What is the arrival window? One Elek reviewer noted that timelines ran a bit off even though the work was good. Asking early sets expectations.
Bottom Line: Which plumber should I call in the Lehigh Valley?
All eight plumbers in our directory are highly rated, so the choice comes down to timing and location. For emergencies, five of them list 24-hour service every day, with at least one in each of Allentown, Bethlehem, and Easton. Schuler Service has the deepest review record by far, at 3,777 reviews and a 4.9. Favazza Plumbing has the lone perfect 5.0, but it keeps weekday and Saturday-morning hours. Robinson Plumbing and Top Notch Plumbing fill the gap with early starts and weekend hours. Pick your emergency number now, before you need it.
