A water heater that went out over a holiday weekend was replaced the same day for one recent Google customer: Chris, the owner, came out to check everything, and then Mike and Mario came to do the work. Macary's Plumbing & Drain Services holds 4.9 stars from 124 Google ratings and an A+ grade from the Better Business Bureau. The company says it offers 24/7 emergency service and has been in business four years. A customer whose 70-year-old cast iron pipes blew a hole said Macary's fixed the hole temporarily at no charge when they came out to give an estimate, and its price sat in the middle of three estimates that ranged from $5,000 to $11,000. That customer wrote that they covered the walls and floors first and then began cutting the pipe. At an old house with failing drain lines, a recent customer said Mike gave the free quote and was the lead plumber with Mario, worked twelve hours, and did not leave until the house could vent and drain properly. A recent customer said Mike installed two toilets, found them leaking, dismantled them and started over. A recent customer said Corey removed an old dishwasher water line, installed a tee under the sink and connected a proper hose to the new machine. A recent customer said Chris replaced a leaking boiler mate and left the area cleaner than when he found it. A 2025 customer said a local company had quoted $20k to replace crumbling cast iron sewage pipes; Chris came out the next day, descaled and hydro jetted the pipes, and found and removed a piece of the other company's cutter left in the pipe. A 2025 customer in Wolcott said Macary's replumbed the entire house, and Mike took two days to complete all of the work. A recent customer who called about a clogged toilet said the same-day visit went well but nobody said upfront that it would cost $350 just to use a camera. A recent customer with a leaky fitting on a six-year-old well pump said the company would not work on an old pump and wanted to replace the whole pump for 3k; that customer replaced a faulty pressure gauge and pressure relief valve for $45. It holds an active Connecticut P1 plumbing licence, PLM.0290517-P1, under Christopher F Macary.
The plumbers were articulate, professional and clear in explaining my plumbing problem. In addition, they resolved the problem, once they explained it, right then and there.
We had a washer dryer combo installed upstairs in a bedroom. We had to upgrade a lot of the plumbing to complete this project. Mike and Mario worked together to make this happen. Excellent job guys
We had our water heater go out over a holiday weekend, and since we’re still pretty new to the area, we had no idea who to call. We ended up calling Macary’s Plumbing, and I’m so glad we did! Chris, the owner, came out to check everything out, and then Mike and Mario came to do the work. All three were great to deal with — friendly, respectful, professional, and just really nice guys. They were careful in our home and cleaned everything up so well when they were done. They were able to replace the water heater that same day, which was a huge relief, especially being a holiday weekend. They even gave us a small discount for the same-day purchase, which was a really nice gesture. We honestly couldn’t be happier with how everything went. When you’re new to an area, finding someone you can trust isn’t always easy, so I’m really happy we found Macary’s. We’ll definitely be calling them again if we ever need a plumber!
Friendly, courteous, knowledgeable, Offered alternative at a much lower price
The service we received from Macary’s plumbing was great. They were able to come the same day I called and the plumber assigned to the job was great. My only complaint is that they do not tell you upfront that it will cost $350 JUST to use a camera plus anything else they may find or need to fix. Thankfully the camera was able to push out our clog in our toilet so we were not charged more than that, but if I had known upfront it would have cost that, I would have looked around elsewhere before committing to them.
