Two plumbers had already come, made promises and left the problem where it was. The customer who wrote about it in September 2024 called Z PLUMBERZ instead, and said the thing they had been living with for months finally got resolved. That is the slot this Needham shop fills — drains, sewers and the pipe work people call about once something has already gone wrong. Z PLUMBERZ of Greater Boston is an independently owned local location of a nationwide plumbing, drain and sewer franchise operating under the BELFOR Franchise Group; the brand says it has served homes and businesses since 2007. On Thumbtack it holds 4.6 stars from 206 ratings and says it has been hired 570 times, and the BBB grades its Needham profile A-. What customers describe is ordinary household plumbing handled without fuss. In April 2024 one was told which kitchen faucet to buy and had J.J. install it when it arrived. A September 2022 customer wrote that Stavros arrived on time, suggested a solution to a pipe problem and connected the sink and garbage disposal. In November 2021 the office booked the visit and Aiden got a kitchen sink and disposal working again; a September 2021 customer said several people came out to be sure the diagnosis was right before Jim and Aiden did the final work. A 2022 blog post recounts a plumber arriving the next morning expecting the quick valve replacement the homeowner had described over the phone. Not every rating is a five: 7% of the 206 Thumbtack ratings sit at one or two stars. The written accounts run 2021 to 2024, and the company's age depends on where you look — the BBB lists two years in business while Thumbtack, Angi and HomeAdvisor each list five. For a blocked drain, a sewer line, a failing valve or a water heater around Needham and Greater Boston, this is a fair call, particularly if another plumber has already had a go at the problem. Its Angi and HomeAdvisor profiles advertise warranties and emergency service — get both the warranty terms and the price in writing before work starts.
“Our plumber (from Z Plumberz of Greater Boston) showed up the next morning thinking he would just be doing a quick valve replacement job, because that’s what we told him over the phone, because that’s what the National Grid technician had told us.”

They did a great job resolving a problem we'd had for months. After being ignored by 2 plumbers who came over and made all sorts of promises, it was a relief to deal with this company.
I needed my kitchen faucet replaced and J.J. told me what to purchase and when it arrived he came and installed it. Quick and easy
Stavros was great. Arrived right on time and suggested a good solution to my pipes problem. He even went the extra mile and connected the sink+ garbage disposal. Wrapped up quickly with no issues. A+
The office was super nice making the appointment. When Aiden came, he did a great job, was very polite, and now my kitchen sink and garbage disposal are working again!
Amazing work! They sent a few experts out to ensure that they were diagnosing the problem correctly. Shoutout to Jim and Aiden for helping us do the final plumbing work!
