Emma Plumbing and Drain Services is a Brockton plumbing contractor run by Emmanuel, with Darnell handling a good share of the drain and repair calls, covering Plymouth, Norfolk, Bristol, Middlesex and Suffolk counties. Its Massachusetts plumber license is active and verified, and it carries a Better Business Bureau A- grade. The volume here is unusual — 234 reviews from 2023 through 2026, and the theme across nearly all of them is speed and follow-through on emergencies: a burst pipe, a flooded utility room, a water heater that quit at night. Reviewers describe him answering calls on Sundays and holidays, showing up within the hour with a diagnosis over text before he even arrives, and staying late until the job is actually done. A July 2026 review describes a Sunday-afternoon water-meter leak he inspected within the hour of the first call; a December 2025 review describes him arriving 30 minutes after a burst pipe was reported on the Sunday after Christmas. Several 2025 and 2026 reviews specifically praise pricing that held to the original quote even when a job — like a stubborn clog — turned out bigger than planned, and more than one customer calls him honest and straightforward about what actually needs fixing. Recent work spans the range of the trade: water heater replacements and gas conversions, main sewer line clogs and root intrusion, garbage disposal jams, corroded pipe replacements, and, in a 2024 review, a full gas water heater swap with new venting after scale buildup and rusting fittings were found. Fifteen reviews in the past six months, none negative, keep that same pattern going. The one clear exception in the written history is a January 2025 review describing a customer who says Emmanuel promised to help, then avoided a direct answer when the problem recurred and he was asked to follow up — the customer calls it a waste of time. It's an outlier against the otherwise overwhelming volume of praise for responsiveness specifically. For plumbing emergencies in the Brockton area especially, Emma Plumbing's combination of fast response and a licensed, verified operation makes it a strong default call — the one thing worth confirming directly is what happens if a fix doesn't hold, given that single account.
Sunday afternoon our tenants reported a substantial water leak at the water meter. We immediatley called Emma Plumbing. He asked us to send photos of the problem. Five minutes later he called us to discuss the problem. Within an hour he came to inspect the problem. He promptly identified the issue and was able to make the repair. He was professional, communicative and will absolutely be contacted for some upcoming work. Thanks for saving our Sunday afternoon!
Highly recommend Emma Plumbing and Drain Services. They are efficient, friendly and professional and both times we called them they came out immediately to help us. Great experience!
I can't say enough good things about Emma Plumbing. They responded incredibly fast and came out right away to help with my plumbing issue. They were professional, knowledgeable, and honest. It's rare to find businesses that genuinely care about helping people instead of just making a sale. Highly recommended!
I cannot recommend Emma Plumbing highly enough. The workmanship was absolutely top-notch, and the pricing was more than fair—honestly unbeatable for the quality of work delivered. From start to finish, they were professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and took great pride in their work. It's rare to find a contractor you can trust completely, but Emma Plumbing has earned that trust. They will be my first call for any plumbing project in the future, and I would confidently recommend them to anyone looking for quality work done right the first time!
They did an excellent job! Were quick, efficient, and continued to take my calls after the job when I had questions. I will definitely use them again in the future.
