The Gentlemen Pros Plumbing, Heating & Electrical
Address: 6053 Gateway Blvd NW
Contact Details: (780) 701-9965
Operating Hours: Daily – 24 hours
The Gentlemen Pros are hands down our go-to team for unclogging the chaos life throws at us. With their A+ Better Business Bureau rating since 2004, they’ve more than earned our trust.
They also handle it all with expertise, from pesky drain issues to sneaky moisture buildup. The company is green about it too, using BioSmart solutions that get the job done without leaving an eco-footprint.
We also hire them for efficient sewer line inspections and emergency repairs, and they’re typically right on time, which is a bonus. Plus, we never had any trouble reaching them, and their transparency is solid; quotes don’t magically inflate.
That said, The Gentlemen Pros don’t come cheap, as we once shelled out around $800 for a single blockage fix, with a $90 service call fee on top. What’s more, their high demand means we usually have to wait to get on their schedule.
10/10
“Fantastic service from Riley; as echoed by the numerous rave reviews. He takes a crappy situation (figuratively and literally) and makes it seem less daunting and overwhelming. He is very knowledgeable and didn’t mind the numerous questions we asked. His explanations were thorough and easy to understand which we greatly appreciated. He also walked us through some things we might want to consider in the future and what those costs may look like. He was incredibly respectful of our home and our cats. We enjoyed his company as much as we enjoyed his quick wit and professionalism. 10/10 this gentleman deserves all the kudos.”

Apollo Plumbing
Address: 14507 130 Ave NW
Contact Details: (780) 200-6870
Operating Hours: Daily – 24 hours
With a history stretching back to 1969, Apollo Plumbing’s reputation speaks for itself. What really makes them stand out, though, is their range—handling everything from big commercial sump pump jobs to urgent residential plumbing fixes.
Apollo’s technicians also come with Journeyman certificates, which check off part of the credentials box. We say “part off” because they’re not BBB accredited as of October 2024.
Unfortunately, their record isn’t spotless either. Some clients have complained about fixes that only held up for a week and less-than-friendly technicians.
On the upside, Apollo’s team is efficient and usually gives practical tips to prevent future issues. They’re also great about explaining the details without drowning clients in plumbing jargon.
As for pricing, it’s mixed; some love the competitive rates, while others think they’re too steep. The silver lining? Their quotes are straightforward, with no surprises.
Truly Perfect Team
“I had a drain pipe problem in a tight area which was hard to access to repair. My plumber who used to handle my plumbing needs told me that he cannot fix it without furring out the drywall on the main floor. I was lucky to find Apollo Plumbing through Google and was very impressed with the good reviews. I emailed them and got a quick response the next day. Alexis was very helpful with excellent phone manners. Connor came on the scheduled day for quote and I was very happy to hear that he could fix the drain pipe at a reasonable cost. Anthony came to do the actual repair and he was very professional and efficient. Anthony also helped me replace a new kitchen faucet and fixed the kitchen drain pipe leak which was detected on the same day. He was so meticulous and made sure that the sink had no calcium build up before installing the new faucet plate. I will recommend Apollo Plumbing for all your plumbing needs. Apollo Plumbing provides free quote unlike other companies which charge you a dispatch fee. Apart from plumbing services, Apollo Plumbing also provides furnace and air conditioning repairs. Anthony, Connor and Alexis are truly a perfect team to deal with for your plumbing needs.”

Did Go Above and Beyond
“We contacted Apollo to have a complex hot water tank replacement done in our home. They were quick and responsive. Anthony completed both our estimate and the water tank replacement. Other companies told us our furnace would need to be dismantled to get to the hot water tank, but Anthony did it without touching the furnace. He really did go above and beyond in all of his work he did for us. We would absolutely use Apollo again.”

Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Edmonton
Address: 18604 106a Ave NW
Contact Details: (780) 429-3600
Operating Hours: Daily – 24 hours
Mr. Rooter Plumbing has 50+ years of experience and a BBB accreditation since 2009, making them a solid choice. They also have the most extensive service range on this list, offering services like emergency plumbing, gas repair, and a whole lot more.
Moreover, the company scores major points for innovation with their HydroScrub jetting service, a smart and quick way to blast away clogs and debris.
As for plumbers, Mr. Rooter has punctual, efficient, and polite ones—even rolling out mats and tidying up post-job. You can also count on them to simplify everything, down to the nitty-gritty details.
The main downside is pricing; their services can quickly add up. Factor in a $75 call-out fee and other extra charges, and you’re looking at a hefty bill. Furthermore, you’ll only get cost details in person, which is very inconvenient.
Fortunately, they don’t have overtime charges, and their fees are fixed.
Professional, Knowledgeable, Courteous
“We are extremely pleased with the great service that we received from Mr. Rooter Plumbing. The staff at Mr. Rooter provided us with excellent customer care and service right from our initial contact, through to completion of the work, and then the friendly follow up telephone call the next day. Kyle came to our home and was professional, knowledgeable, courteous and thoroughly explained the work to be undertaken before commencing. Kyle was very easy to talk with every step of the way. Upon completion, Kyle cleaned up the work area and ensured that we were completely satisfied with the work that was performed. A big thank you to everyone at Mr. Rooter Plumbing. We would not hesitate to recommend this company to our family and friends.“

Super Quick
“Had our basement drain back up in the evening, called them and they got back to us super quick to book in for the next day. Ty came out and was able to get us back up and running! He was professional, friendly, tidy, and thoughtful in his approach (our access panel had corroded and he really took his time to ensure no damage so that we could put it back once finished). Would not hesitate to contact them again!”

Always Plumbing & Heating
Address: 17633 114 Ave NW #300
Contact Details: (780) 489-8118
Operating Hours: Daily – 24 hours
Always Plumbing & Heating has proven its staying power since opening in 1998. Their BBB accreditation and nationally certified plumbers holding the Technician Seal of Safety will back us up.
Their efficient services provide a plethora of solutions too, including drain cleaning, water heater repair, and heater replacement. Most importantly, their technicians are punctual and approachable, making the process smoother.
You won’t run into surprise fees with them either; normally, their quotes accurately reflect the final bill, with no extra charges for weekends or holidays. In addition, the 90-day warranty means you’ll get a refund if they can’t solve the issue.
However, the lifetime warranty comes with a hefty price tag. Their financing options are also limited to their in-house program, so there’s no payment flexibility.
Finally, their customer service could use some work. Responses can be slow, and they have a history of canceling appointments.
Super Fast
“We purchased a 2 stage furnace and hotwater heater so we could sell our home as most people did not want to buy a home with 20 year old units. The price was the best, so when we moved we got them to install a heat exchanger/air conditioner in our new home. It was such a special price and install was super fast just in time for the first heat wave. Totally recommend then to everbody.”
-Steve Bachnick, Google Review
VERY Professional
“These guys arrived early (after calling and ensuring it was okay to come at an earlier time) and diagnosed the issue with my furnace. They were VERY professional. They carefully examined the unit. There were no complaints even when required to work in a small dusty closet area! They explained the issue and options for repair as well as related costs very clearly. The technicians were polite, courteous, and respectful. I would 100 percent recommend ALWAYS based on my experience.
Edit: Had Always come out to look at our hot water tank. The tech (Clive) was professional, courteous, and gave a clear explanation of options. I would use Always for my services again, 100%!”

Capital Plumbing & Heating
Address: 14843 118 Ave NW
Contact Details: (780) 451-5666
Operating Hours: Daily – 24 hours
Capital Plumbing & Heating earned their spot on this list without a hitch. Having worked with them, we can vouch that their BBB accreditation and licensed plumbers aren’t just for show.
We specifically hired them for water treatment and drain cleaning services, and fortunately, both worked like a charm. Their plumbers were never late, and they left our office and homes clean and tidy.
To top it off, transparency had never been an issue for us, and most fellow clients we chatted with echoed the same sentiment. Our team also never paid overtime or half-time fees, though we shelled out extra for call-out and diagnostic charges.
The biggest drawback, though, is their high prices. You must also factor in the extra charges like the dispatch, diagnostic, and callout fees.
Additionally, getting in touch with them and waiting for a reply can be frustrating.
Highly Recommended
“Excellent work by Chris and Carlos! Did a great job replacing our 2 old hot water tanks with one combo tank for domestic water and in-floor heating. Highly recommended”
-Lorenzo B, Google Review
Outstanding Customer Service
“Capital Plumbing is the only plumbing that provided outstanding customer service for a quote. My call was answered immediately and they booked a quote right away, plus did an advance call to let me know they were on the way. I haven’t had work done yet but they are already winning for customer service. They even brought/wore shoe coverings in the house. Impressive and they came highly recommended to me. I could see why.”
