Petri Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Drain Cleaning

Petri Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Drain Cleaning carries the weight of 120 years of Brooklyn plumbing history, and that institutional knowledge shows in their ability to handle virtually any residential system. Owner Michael Petri, a licensed master plumber, runs an operation that covers the full spectrum: burst pipes, boiler repairs, AC installations, and drain cleaning. The company's 100% service guarantee and upfront pricing model aim to eliminate the billing surprises that plague the industry.

When Petri sends their A-team, the results are impressive. Michael Butcher fixed a burst pipe within 24 hours. George, a heating specialist, showed up on a Sunday to diagnose and repair a failing boiler system. The company responds to emergencies and staffs jobs with knowledgeable technicians who explain their work.

The significant caveat is price. At least one reviewer describes paying $3,000 for an issue that a competitor resolved for $120 — a transformer replacement. This suggests that Petri's overhead as a large, established operation translates into meaningfully higher costs for straightforward fixes. For complex jobs where you need the depth of a century-old plumbing institution, Petri may be worth the premium. For simple repairs, getting a second quote is strongly advisable.
