Your Honest Phoenix Plumber, Serving Homes and Businesses Across the Valley
American Discount Plumbing is a family-owned, Christian-run shop that has served Phoenix and the surrounding Valley since 2000. Owner Pavel Farcas (Paul) works the calls himself, from central Phoenix and Arcadia to Scottsdale, Glendale, Peoria, Paradise Valley, and the Sun City communities.
He started this company on a simple idea: do better work at a fairer price than the big outfits, and treat every home like it belongs to a neighbor.
What customers notice first is that Pavel shows up when he says he will and tells the truth about what your plumbing actually needs. Time and again, homeowners call after another company quoted thousands for a full replacement, and Pavel finds the small, real fix instead. That honest-diagnosis habit is the reason so many Phoenix families have stayed with American Discount Plumbing for years and pointed their friends our way.
Whether it is no hot water on a holiday weekend, a leak you cannot find, a gas line for a new range, or hard-water buildup wearing out your fixtures, one call gets you a real person who knows Valley plumbing inside and out. No phone trees, no pressure, no surprise pricing.
About the Owner
Meet Pavel Farcas (Paul), Owner and Master of the Trade
Pavel Farcas (Paul) has spent his life in plumbing. He trained at a professional plumbing school, spent three years working the trade in Austria, came to the United States in 1992, and moved to Arizona in 1996. After learning the local trade and running service calls, he founded American Discount Plumbing in 2000 to give Valley families honest work at a fair price. Decades later, he still answers the phone and runs the calls himself.
Pavel (Paul) built the business on Christian values and a refusal to oversell. He would rather save you money with the right repair and earn a customer for life than push a replacement you do not need. That reputation, more than any ad, is why American Discount Plumbing keeps growing by word of mouth.

When You Call American Discount Plumbing, Here Is What Happens
Hiring a plumber should not feel like a gamble. Here is exactly how we work, every time.
You reach a real person, fast
Call (602) 883-2787 or send the estimate form. You will hear back quickly, typically within ten to fifteen minutes during business hours, and same-day or emergency help is available when you need it.
We come out and actually diagnose the problem
Pavel (Paul) walks the property and finds the real source of the issue instead of guessing. Many of our best customer stories start with a careful diagnosis that saved someone thousands.
We explain it in plain language
You get a straight answer about what is wrong, what your options are, and whether a repair or a replacement makes more sense for your situation and budget.
You get a clear estimate before any work begins
We put the price in front of you up front. No surprise charges, no pressure, and no fee games on the invoice.
The same trusted hands do the work
The person who quotes your job is the person who does it, and the work is guaranteed.
the $25 fix instead of a $5,000 dig
A Phoenix homeowner had a water meter spinning nonstop and three plumbers telling them it was an underground main line leak. The quotes ranged from $3,000 to dig up the yard to $5,000 to replace the main line.
Pavel (Paul) walked the property, found the real culprit (a broken part on the pool autofill running continuously), drove to the supply store, and replaced a $25 part for a small service fee.
The customer saved well over a thousand dollars. As Jason B. wrote in his five-star Google review, 'He only charged me a small service fee and saved me at least a thousand if not a lot more.'
Plumbing Services for Phoenix Homes and Businesses
American Discount Plumbing handles the everyday repairs, the big installs, and the specialty work most shops send elsewhere, for both residential and commercial customers across the Valley. Here is a quick look. Each link goes to a full page with details.

Why Families and Businesses Choose American Discount Plumbing
A licensed Arizona contractor
you can verify
We hold AZ ROC license #150707 and carry full bonding and insurance, so you are hiring a credentialed professional who answers to the state, not an unlicensed handyman working off the books.
You can confirm our license yourself on the Arizona ROC website in under a minute. That transparency matters, because unlicensed work can void a home warranty, fail inspection, and leave you with no recourse if something goes wrong down the road.
Honest diagnosis
instead of fear sales
Plenty of companies lead with the most expensive option because that is how their technicians are paid. We lead with the truth. If a repair will solve your problem, we say so, even when a replacement would put more money in our pocket.
That is not just a slogan. One Phoenix homeowner had three plumbers quoting three to five thousand dollars to replace a main line. Pavel (Paul) found that a twenty-five dollar pool autofill part was the real problem and fixed it for a small service fee. Honest diagnosis like that is the single most common reason people call us.
The owner
does the work
Pavel (Paul) personally answers the phone and runs the jobs. You are not handed off to a rotating roster of subcontractors who have never seen your home and will not be there the next time you call.
Because the same experienced hands do every job, the quality stays consistent and nothing gets lost in a handoff. The person who gives you the estimate is the person standing in your home doing the work and standing behind it afterward.
A genuine
5.0 reputation
Valley homeowners consistently rate American Discount Plumbing five stars across Google, Facebook, and Yelp, and a striking number become repeat customers who send their neighbors and family our way.
Those reviews are not about flashy marketing. They repeat the same words again and again: honest, reliable, fair, shows up when he says he will. That is the reputation we protect on every single call.
Same-day and
emergency response
Plumbing does not wait for business hours. We answer fast, usually call back within ten to fifteen minutes during the day, and offer same-day and emergency help when the timing simply cannot wait.
When Chris's water heater failed on the Friday after Thanksgiving, we came out within the hour and installed a new one the same day. That is the kind of response a large call-center operation rarely matches.
Fair pricing
that holds up
Reviews mention our pricing again and again because it is fair and because it holds. The number we quote before the work begins is the number on your invoice, with no surprise add-ons once the job is underway.
As a lean family shop, our overhead is a fraction of what the big chains carry, and that savings is passed straight to you. Customers routinely tell us our quote came in well below what a national company asked for the very same job.
Gas line expertise
most plumbers cannot match
Gas line work is our specialty, backed by decades of hands-on experience. Many plumbers sub this work out or avoid it altogether. We do it in-house, from a simple BBQ stub-out to a whole-home tankless conversion.
Every gas job is tested and permitted through SRP and APS where required. When the work involves gas, experience is not optional, and that depth of experience is exactly what we bring to every job.
a holiday water-heater rescue
Chris J.'s water heater died on the Friday after Thanksgiving, the worst possible timing for a house full of family.
American Discount Plumbing came out within the hour, assessed it, and installed a new water heater the same day.
His five-star review: 'Very professional and quality workmanship.'
above and beyond in the summer heat
Jessica M. needed her 16-year-old water heater replaced during peak Arizona summer.
The team explained everything in plain language and spent hours working outdoors in the heat to get it right.
Her review: 'Paul and Johnathan were absolutely amazing. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was working perfectly before they left.'
American Discount Plumbing vs. the Big National Chains
Phoenix has no shortage of plumbing companies. Here is an honest look at how a local, owner-operated shop stacks up against the large national and franchise chains you see advertising everywhere.
What to Ask Any Plumber Before You Hire Them
These questions protect you no matter who you hire. We are happy to answer all of them for our own work.
If a company hesitates on any of these, keep looking.
We will answer all seven without blinking.
Are you licensed in Arizona, and what is your ROC number? (Ours is #150707, verifiable on the state ROC site.)
Are you bonded and insured? Ask for proof before work begins.
Will the person who quotes the job be the one who does it, or will it be handed to a subcontractor?
Will I get a written estimate before any work starts?
Is there a charge if I decide not to move forward after the diagnosis?
Do you recommend repair when a repair will do, or do you push replacement first?
Is your workmanship guaranteed, and for how long?
