Meet Our Crew
"Called for septic tank services prior to selling home. Office staff professional and services scheduled and carried out within 4 days. This kind of service is hard to find. Would like to thank Ryan my technician for going over and beyond. With his inspection he saved me a lift pump from burning out, extra electricity and loaned me a screwdriver to fix a simple, but otherwise expensive plumbing fee."
"Great owners! Awesome workers!"
"A big Thanks to Ryan and the Advantage crew for hooking up the awesome pool house bathroom!"
"These guys were awesome! From diagnosis thru the complete replacement of my septic system! Great price and work! Thanks Ryan and your crew and staff!"
"AMAZING customer service! Thanks Melissa, can't thank you enough."

"Ben and his team were fantastic! They were very respectful, timely, and did a great job when it comes to replacing our sewer line. Nothing negative to say about this company/Ben & his team!!! Highly recommend!"
"Worked alongside Ben at a mobile home with its underbelly absolutely FLOODED OUT with about 2000 gallons of water. He was punctual, super professional and very easy to work with! Always nice to work alongside my fellow young blue collar boys, and this guy is top tier.
I’ve worked with other employees from this company at other jobsites as well, and have not had a problem yet. Great company!"
"Thank you Ben for installing our new water heater. You did a great job and was completed in a good time. I highly recommend this company."
"Ben called to let me know he was on his way and arrived when scheduled. He explained to me the type of system I had and he answered all of my newbie questions. It snowed the entire time he was there but when he was finished pumping it out he still had a smile on his face and told me to have a nice day. I highly recommend them."

"Tony was great, very professional, explained everything that he was doing to address the issues and went above and beyond to make sure the concerns were fixed. Prompt and quick service too. Any plumbing issues in the future I will call Advantage."
"Tony was the most knowledgeable and friendly person I've ever met. He saved us from having to pay $15,000 because some company wanted us to replace our whole piping system when there was no issue!!! So we went with a chemical to prolong and clean our system which can last upwards of 100 years. INSANE. Use these guys and be sure to ask for Tony!!"
"Tony was a great help and resolved my leak quickly. Thank you for your great work."
"Tony did a great job. He even helped complete the form I needed to fill out for the township. Why would you call anyone else?"
"I'm extremely satisfied with the service, administered by (Tony) Advantage Plumbing and Drain. I've used their expertise for years. I highly recommend them to everyone I know! Thank you!!"

"This morning Jake came out to help with what ended up being a septic issue. I really appreciate him talking me through everything and helping me plan out my plan of action! Highly recommend!"
"They were recommended to me because we had reason to believe that my drain field wasn't working properly. I called them and Jake was out the next day to take a look. He found what was more than likely the issue and they were out a few days later taking care of it. Thank you Advantage Plumbing for getting us going in such a short time, and being very informative and explaining very well what the issue was."
"Highly recommend Advantage Plumbing & Drain. Jake did a great job rerouting and replacing our outdated laundry discharge line. He went above and beyond and answered all of our many questions. Very knowledgeable as well as professional!"

"Keegan did a Great job at our house on Lacey Rd. today!! He was very kind and knowledgeable about everything he did. Thanks!!"
"Had such a good experience! They came the same day and sent an awesome man named Keegan. Very professional, polite, and did a great job! Highly recommend"
"Keegan came out yesterday to "jet out" our exterior drains and get a great job. We have lots of tree roots so they jetted (sprayed the water jet) from both directions of the drain (where it starts and when it ended) to get the drains as clear as possible. They cleaned up afterwards and left no mess. Will call again in a few years."

"Had a clogged, 12 inch drain tlle under our driveway. An artesian stream runs from the back hill under the driveway to the Lake. As a result of the clog, our driveway was flooded and it came close to flooding our garage floors, Advantage sent Matt out the day after I called, in a truck with a huge pump and power spraying capability. They used the up to 8000psi pump to shot a powerful stream of water into both ends of the drain tile. It took about 45 minutes to unclog and clean the tile. They used all of their 400 gallon water tank and did a great job! About $600."
