Abe was prompt, knowledgable, and fair. He arrived in the time indicated. Took the time to identify the source of the problem. However, after a thorough examination, the source could not be identified. Given his time to examine the problem, I was surprised to not incur a charge for his time. Once the source is determined,, we will be calling Abe to make the fix! read more

Shower tub would not drain on a Sunday. What a way to end the weekend. Looked up yelp and saw Abe's plumbing. Was thinking who would come out at 5 pm on a Sunday. Within 10 minutes, I received a call back from Abe's plumbing and within 30 minutes, he was at the house. Fixed out bathtub clog and the price was not too bad. Very impressive with the responsiveness and the within 30 minutes Sunday service. I don't usually write review but felt like I have to pass this along to that yelp community. Abe's Plumbing is now on my phone's contact list. read more

Abe came over 10 minutes after my call regarding a clogged toilet. He quickly dealt with my toilet and then even helped me figure out what was going on with a separate issue with my refrigerator and referred me to somebody before charging me extra money to have him attempt to fix it. I greatly appreciated his quick response time, his pleasant demeanor, his rapid diagnosis of the issue and excellent resolution. Abe was transparent throughout the entire process. read more

The pressure in our showers dropped and we had no idea why. Abe showed up same day and replaced our water pressure valve. Presto all better. He was very friendly and helpful. He also explained things so it was easy to understand the problem and the fix. Highly recommend Abe if you need a plumber! read more

Abe was courteous on the phone when I called, if perhaps slightly brusque. He was upfront, however, on his pricing which was $375 to install a garbage disposal (not including the price of the disposal). I'm no expert, but this is an awfully high price. I told him that I thought that it was high, and we said "well . . . let me know." I think that I will shop around instead. (In case you were wondering, yep, I got it installed for $175). To his credit, he was upfront about his pricing, but I have to say that I was surprised to see such high reviews on Yelp. This service is relying on you not knowing what things cost, which really isn't what you should seek in a tradesman. It certainly does not, I believe, deserve five stars. read more

We found a leak in some of our bathroom pipes and called Abe. He was responsive and quickly identified the issue. We'll plan on calling Abe for other plumbing issues in the future. read more

Abe was on-time and easy to coordinate scheduling. He was very nice and did a very quick and thorough job on clearing out my basement bathtub drain clogged with kid hair. Will definitely call again! read more

Highly recommend! Abe has made two visits to fix various problems, both on a Sunday and within an hour or two of calling him. He works quickly and well, and leaves the work areas neat and clean. There isn't much of our plumbing that Abe hasn't fixed, but if it does need work he will be our go-to. read more

Abe was friendly and very professional. He was able to help us quickly and took great care of our clogged kitchen sink and new faucet install. He was able to communicate any potential issues and we wouldn't hesitate to call him again! Highly recommend! read more

The water alarm we have under our kitchen sink went off yesterday. We discovered that one of the pipes had begun to leak. I called Abe and scheduled an appointment for the next day at noon. Abe arrived exactly at noon and by 1:00 pm had the problem fixed. He had all the parts needed in his truck and his workmanship was exemplary. If you find yourself in need of a plumber in the Alexandria, Virginia area I highly recommend him. read more

Abe was here within 45 minutes of my inquire, solved my issue within 20 minutes. So roughly a total of 1 hour / 60 minutes from initial inquiry on Yelp, to job completion. Amazing! read more

Abe arrived promptly to fix our broken toilet. He even tried to coach me over the phone to save me the cost of a visit! He wore a mask and encouraged me to watch so I would know how to fix it myself next time. Nightly recommend Abe's Plumbing! read more

Abe did quality work and talked us through exactly what was needed to fix our leaky pipe.

I wish there were more stars to rate this business and its owner, Abe. He is amazingly skilled, knowledgeable and efficient ... an artisan in his field and a real gentleman. I wholeheartedly recommend his services. read more

Our garbage disposal decided to reject everything I put in it. Tried to unclog it ourselves but no luck. Called Abe and he fixed it and a couple of other issues as well. Something else always needs attention. He came within a couple of hours as promised. Fixed everything, cleaned up nicely, and left. A gentleman who knows his profession. He is the best, not the least expensive but the best. We have used his service one other time to clean up a mess left by another unnamed plumber. Can't say enough positive about him and his work. I am comfortable with him in my home. He is efficient and knows what he is doing. I don't mind paying when I get what I want: THAT IS TOP QUALITY WORK! read more

Our kitchen faucet water pressure was getting progressively worse. I called Abe to see if he could come over to take a look, and he walked me through the process of diagnosing the problem, which allowed me to fix it myself quickly and at no cost. Thanks Abe! read more

I called Abe to help with a broken toilet. He answered my call right away, asked informative questions, and was at my house an hour later to repair! He fixed the problem quickly and explained everything to me. Very professional, responsive, and friendly service. I definitely recommend Abe to anyone in the area! read more

There's a reason this man receives a five-star rating. He is straight-forward, arrives on time, and means what he says through action. I called Abe and within 20 minutes (based on his location/schedule), he was at my front door with tools. Word to the wise: a direct phone call to his number goes a LONG way. Requesting a quote is unnecessary and timely, and with his schedule and clientele, I am glad I placed a phone call before anything else because within 30 minutes of calling, my drains were cleared. The job was done in a timely manner and at the price he promised over the phone. No gimmicks. I will definitely be recommending his services to others, without hoping it never comes to my personal need again :) read more

I called Abe plumbing yesterday at 7pm after his prescribed hours and told him I have a leak in my sink. He told me to put him on speaker phone and he helped me diagnose and fix the problem. He fixed it free of charge during his off time. I think even heard his family inthe background. That's service! Im gonna start calling him '"Honest Abe" Thanks. read more

If you need an HONEST plumber who does great work at a reasonable price Abe is your guy. He did exactly what he said he was going to do and at the price he quoted and he did the work in a short amount of time. Call Abe if you want a skilled and honest plumber. read more

Abe is AMAZING! He diagnosed my garbage disposal issue over the phone, walked me through the steps to repair and waited while I worked on it. Look no further...Abe will now be my "GO TO" plumber! Must share that I had an appointment tomorrow with another plumber who told me that I needed a total replacement. Seriously, call Abe! read more

On a hunch, after reading all of the reviews, I called Abe for some over-the-phone advice. I live just outside of Abe's service area, but he consented to me explaining the siutation and asking him for counsel. When I flushed, the toilet in the powder room in my townhouse leaked down into the ceiling of my finished basement. I removed the toilet and discovered that the 4 x 3 in PVC closet flange was cracked on one of the sides where the toilet to floor mount bolts are attached. I also discovered that the heads of the screws were corroded and that I couldn't easily remove them. Cutting out the closet flange from the pipe from below seemed like an expensive option, given the poor access. I explained the situation to Abe over the phone, he asked me to send him a text with a photo, and he immediately responded with three options for installing a replacement spanner or ring. And he then called me and talked me through how he would install them. I saw that at least one of the Yelp reviews referred to Abe as blunt. I have to say that my experience with Abe was exactly the opposite. At no charge, Abe took the time and effort to help a perfect stranger solve a plumbing problem over the phone. If I was in Abe's service area, I absolutely would hire him in a flash. read more

Abe is amazing. He is extremely responsive and will make sure your problem is solved quickly and at a very reasonable price. He even offered to help me fix a broken garbage disposal over the phone without charging me. If you have a plumbing issue you need to call Abe! Highly recommend him. read more

Noticed a pipe connected to the hot water heater leaking. Ugh!! Called Abe he came the same day and replaced the connection that was leaking as well as another valve that was corroded. Fair price for same day service and he was in and out in a couple hours. Everything looks good and there is no leak so we are very happy! I highly recommend. read more

Abe responded quickly to my call, gave me an assessment of my situation over the phone, quoted a fair price, and then resolved my issue within the day. He also went the extra mile when it seemed like there may have been an unrelated issue with my toilet. Will definitely call Abe again in the future. read more

Called for help with toilet. He walked me through fix on phone saving time and money. Amazing. Will use for all plumbing from now on. Thanks! read more

We have used Abe several times in the past because he's not only great at his craft, but straightforward and no nonsense. After having him snake a shower drain a couple weeks ago, I contacted him for advice today on replacing a shower lever. I sent him a pic and he called me within minutes to discuss with me and walk me through it. He had done this in the past with a dishwasher hose also. There are not many services out there who will encourage you to DIY instead of taking your money. Abe is one of those services. He has our complete trust and will always be our go to for any plumbing needs big or small. read more

Abe is great - honest, works quickly and is very responsive. He even took the time to teach me how my hot water heater works (not what he was working on that day!) read more

Super fast response and was able to help us fix our sink problem over the phone. Would highly recommend

Abe is so kind and helpful! I called him about a broken garbage disposal and he gave me some quick instructions on the phone and it was fixed in no time - he didn't even have to come to my house (and naturally didn't charge me either). I'll definitely be calling Abe for any issues in the future! Thank you, Abe! read more

I discovered a bad leak coming from my upstairs bathroom into my kitchen around 11 pm last night. I called Abe early this morning and he got to my house in under two hours, quickly found the source of the leak (a bad shower handle cartridge), and easily fixed it. While he was on site, he also replaced another bad cartridge for me in another shower that was not adjusting properly between hot and cold water. I don't know much about plumbing. Abe was patient with my questions, did the repairs quickly, and even showed me a few things I could do myself in the future. I would definitely call him again. My qualm was that he doesn't reseal the shower handles that were removed from the wall, so I have to do that myself. But he fixed the leak, which is what I called him about so I'm happy! read more

Abe was direct, efficient, explained everything, and did a decent job. BUT he grossly overcharged me for the work... $700 for 50 minutes of work to replace an indoor seasonal on/off valve, 15 inches of copper pipe, one copper elbow, and an outdoor faucet (and the outdoor faucet was installed at about 10 degrees off vertical...) Of course at the time I agreed to that price, but later regretted paying that much. Later I had the same work done on another outdoor faucet in front of my house by a different plumber and was charged just $425... Abe is way too expensive... $700 for a 50 minute job with perhaps $40 in parts... that's abusive. Next time I will get a second and third estimate and try to avoid getting ripped off . read more

"Honest" Abe (as I like to call him) responded quickly, arrived on time, assessed the problem, and explained it. When I said " okay, I trust you," he proceeded to point it out to me and demonstrated it since I wasn't understanding. I was floored! No body takes the time to educate their customer anymore! After Abe fixed the problem he even showed me the old parts he took out and the new he put in. We have called him for several other problems since that first one and his service is consistent. Fast response. Quick appointments. On time. Does exceptional quality work. And has fair pricing. I will definitely call him again if we ever have the need and I highly recommend his services! read more

Called Abe on a Saturday for a failed washer supply valve. I'd checked the plumbing just days earlier (prior to delivery of a new washer and dryer) and everything seemed fine. However, when the new washer was delivered, Murphy's Law took full effect, and the gate valve completely failed and wouldn't close at all. I called Abe because his reviews frequently talked about how quickly he responds to customers. And I cannot overstate how true those reviews are. After I called Abe and talked to him about the issue, he was at my house to replace both the hot and cold washer valves within 15 minutes of our call. No exaggeration. It was rather impressive (even more so because this was just a couple days after our last snow). I will admit, as others have indicated, that he was a bit more pricey than some of the quotes you may receive from other plumbers. However, I wanted the job completed quickly and reliably, so that I could immediately install my new washer, and deliver the old one to a family member in need. And to be perfectly fair, I called him early on a Saturday morning--well outside of normal work hours. I fully expected to pay a weekend/emergency-type rate, and was willing to do so. All this said, I'll definitely call Abe again for any plumbing work I have. He was friendly, professional, and got the job done quickly. read more

My basement just flooded after a heavy downfall. As a new homeowner I'm new to this! After the rain stopped and I finished mopping up everything, I immediately called Abe (found his number on Yelp). He walked me through several possibilities over the phone before ultimately deciding my gutters are likely clogged and the pump was overwhelmed due to the excess water pouring off of my roof down the steps to my basement door, which is where the water was flooding in. Next step is to have my gutters checked!! Abe was a huge help doing all of this over the phone with me, explaining things along the way (as I said, I'm new to all this!). Best part...he didn't charge me! I'll definitley call Abe for every plumbing issue I have in the future! read more

Highly recommend. Called up because I had a sewer gas smell that I couldn't find. He was upfront about no point in him coming unless there was something more specific. I told him about a wet spot I found. He arrived. Told me the wet spot had nothing to do with the smell. Found the source of the leak. Also found the floor drain I couldn't find (the source of the gas). I will definitely call him the next time I have a plumbing issue. read more

I'm glad there are so many reviews that speak highly of Abe's Plumbing, but the experience I had was not like these other 5 star reviews. How is this possible? Makes me wonder if he treats existing customers in a different manner than potential new customers. Anyways, I want to provide some perspective on what I've experienced and the service I received. I made a call to Abe's Plumbing in the summer (while we had all of the rain) and mentioned to him that we had recently gotten our hardwood floors done in our home and needed one of the toilets fixed due to the toilets not being level or set based on the pre-existing flooring we had. While Abe was prompt with his service, called me and said that while he had a plumbing emergency, he would make his way over to provide us with a quote and diagnose what needed to be done. Fair enough. Abe arrived at our home, and took a brief (as in less than 15 minutes) look at the situation and told us that more work needed to be done, he went downstairs and saw the actual pipe of the toilet and mentioned he would have to cut the pipe, add additional items (I can't recall exactly because I'm not well versed in plumbing speak), and then would finally be able to 'fix our situation'. First, that is a HELL of a lot of fixes for such an issue which I thought was suspicious. He quoted us 10x the amount that the plumber that we typically call eventually would charge us. I mean the amount was outrageous and we are no strangers to how much solid plumbing fixes cost - but this was damn near insulting. I don't mind hearing quotes and understanding different levels of effort for tasks. I understand the concepts behind that. But, there is a bigger problem here. It turns out (which I already knew before the door closed as he exited) he INCORRECTLY diagnosed this problem and potentially created cascading effects which could be bad for those homeowners that just assume such tasks take a lot of money because they are not educated in certain areas. Well, we aren't those customers and I feel that this should be stated for those who might not have enough experience. This is unacceptable and the perfect way to help me not recommend a service based upon the inability to not accurately assess a situation based on your years of experience and credentials as a certified plumber (or any service for that matter). I would question the ability to assess the situation and do the job, and secondly, it makes me doubtful of your ability to say that you need more time to investigate OR you have a plumbing emergency (like he said he did) and didn't have the time to look at my issues today instead of trying to make a quick buck or two. I hate services that do that. The good thing is Abe's plumbing service helped me confirm that this is why people have dedicated servicers and run back to them after experiences like this. It also helps me provide feedback on here, new homeowners, and other forums (including non-profits that rank these sorts of things). It's a shame I reached out AND wasted my time with this plumber. After my main plumber looked at it, he was in shock at how someone with such a client base and such certifications would make such a recommendation and potentially cost (potential and existing) customers more on unnecessary and questionable 'fixes'. I do NOT recommend this plumber. read more

Called Abe on short notice and he was actually able to come out the same day but was also able to schedule for the next day for convenience. He was professional and listed options that we could pursue but was never pushy at all. Overall would recommend for your plumbing needs and we will have him back for further maintenance! read more

Had a leak in the basement and called Abe's plumbing. He was out within an hour and had the leak isolated and fixed in no time for a very reasonable price. He was so professional, careful to cover the carpet and was nice to my pain in the neck dog. Highly recommend. read more

Today was my first time using Abe's Plumbing. We discovered what we thought was a leaking hose bib. I contacted Abe at 3:30 and by 6:00 the same day he was done! He quickly determined it was actually a cracked pipe, explained everything he was going to do, replaced everything, tested for leaks, and then meticulously cleaned up. Friendly and professional. Will definitely use Abe again! read more
