Our garage disposal was broken over the weekend When we called Abe he was able to help us fix it over the phone. This shows what a kind and honest person he is read more

Expensive 3 hour drain repair $1175 Plastic parts. No reason to be this expensive. Done with Abe Not sure why he has this rating. Careful of what you see here I had this repair done on my moms house. That's why it shows non local address. Now three months later it's leaking. I'm not gonna call him back cause he basically threatened me that it could be more expensive read more

We had kitchen/sink garbage disposal issues and called Abe. He was very responsive and showed up a few hours later. He was efficient and made sure the problem was fixed before he left. Very knowledgeable and will definitely call again! read more

Abe responded to my message within 5 minutes, on Thanksgiving day. I had just intended to leave a message to get in line for the next morning, but he called me right back. Abe showed up when he said he would, did a great job, and charged what he said he would. He was very neat and clean, and left things as good as or better than they were. He was very conscientious - I noticed that he dabbed a little plumbers putty on the inside junction of my sink trap before reinstalling it. No one does that, but it is certainly best practices. After he was finished, and I paid him, he suggested that I check my main water cut-off and pressure valve before winter. He then spent about 20 minutes of time (off the clock) helping me sort through my old remodeled house for the cut offs. read more

I called Abe yesterday on "Saturday", and explained that I had a problem with the faucet on the front of my house. Abe said no problem and that he would be by first thing on Sunday morning between 8-9am. Like clockwork I received a text at 8am on the dot asking if it was ok to come by, and if so he would be here in 20 minutes. I have to say I haven't had such great customer service with anything to do with home ownership, including HVAC and electricians, pest control, you name it.. When Abe arrived he promptly troubleshooted the issue and gave me a couple of ways we could tackle the faucet. Needless to say he wastes no time to get the job done and in a very professional manner. I would be hard pressed to go to another plumber let alone a big box plumber. Do yourself a favor and call Abe, get the job done right the first time. read more

Using an electric snake to drain the kitchen sink for 20 minutes costs $375 is too much.

I called Abe on a Sunday afternoon, and he was here first thing on Monday. I had a shut off valve that started to leak and I needed fast service. His prices were fair and he did an excellent job. I will call him again. I agree with all of these 5 star ratings. He deserves them. read more

I contacted Abe's Plumbing to get a price to repair a broken water main. I called a few other plumbers first and was quoted anywhere from $250 - $400. I sent Abe a picture of the problem and he told me that fixing it is so easy that I could do it myself. He gave me a list of the parts to buy at Home Depot and even gave me step by step directions on how to do the repair, including a list of the common mistakes people make and how to avoid them. I got the parts which cost $35 and it took me about 20 minutes to do the repair, and it was very easy like he said. I've never even attempted a repair on a water pipe before. I don't know any plumber who does this. He easily saved me $350. read more

I called up Abe to clear out my main line out to the sewer, as all my plumbing was backed up and having lots of problems. After trying a few places, he was the first one who could do it day of, on a Monday holiday, and arrived promptly to snake the line. It was a flat fee of $550, and he cleared everything out. Six months later, the problem happened again. I called around again, and he was the only one who could come the same day. Again, for $550, he snaked the main line, and I talked with him about how to investigate the larger problem that was likely happening, where a pipe probably needed replacing. I came to the conclusion that I was going to have to set up another appointment with a plumbing company that is able to identify the problem with camera equipment. The second snaking lasted me only two weeks before things started backing up, and sure enough the camera revealed a lot of larger damage that can't be fixed with periodic snaking. So while I appreciated Abe's availability, I would only recommend him for smaller problems. I could have saved some money by starting with a company better equipped to identify and fix the long term problem. read more

Had a great experience from start to finish with Abe's Plumbing this week. I highly recommend him. When I texted him at 10pm, I got an immediate response. We had a really difficult problem with a pipe behind a wall which he expertly located, diagnosed, and fixed. It turned into a big job removing a sink, cutting out drywall, cutting 6 PVC pipes and replacing a big joint. His work was exceptional and thorough. He was also upfront with the costs before he did any work, so no surprises at the end. read more

Abe is extremely timely and a fantastic professional. He immediately picked up in the morning at 8:30 AM and was available within the hour. We had a recent bathroom renovation that was turning into a forever project from hiccups in a rental townhome. He resolved all the plumbing issues. Two issues were discovered from a top floor toilet that leaked over its O-ring onto the ceiling drywall below. His diagnostic fee was a higher price than a larger company but worth every penny. He made sure to explain every detail and show how/describe why things weren't functioning properly. The bulk of the work was done on reinstalling a new O-ring just above the threshold of the tile floor below. The contractors prior had cut the subfloor hole too large for the drainage pipe lip and didn't brace all sides below. It was only screwed into wood on the 3 and 6 O'clock sides. It could be physically pushed down, adding to the overflow issue with the O-ring when the weight of water applied over time filled up the pipe. Having finished bracing with wood from below and installing the new ring, I came back upstairs to find him taking the O-ring he just installed back out, to redo that entire task, because he discovered our actual drainage pipe was not only not level but working against a slight upward angle (a problem from the original build). This added solid waste buildup overtime in the drainage pipe I got to see visually. He basically could have left it where it was having fixed the obvious O-ring issue but proceeded to check to make sure everything else was as it should be. He started to redo his work and put spacers below the drainage pipe lip and wood bracing to increase the angle to drain without even telling me it needed to be done. This man cares about the quality of his work. I've never seen it flush faster and the extra hour he put in to make sure the job was done correctly wasn't added to the overall quote. We had agreed on a quote and he stuck to it. That's the kind of workmanship you're getting with Abe. He wants to know his name is attached to a job done appropriately. I highly recommend him if you want something done CORRECTLY. My tenants and I are very satisfied. read more

Abe is very honest, knowledgeable, and matter-of-fact. He fixed my plumbing issue, and was very gracious in returning when we noticed loud noises from the piping. He says his customers are his friends, and he's like the gruff father figure that knows more simply because he's seen more. He spotted issues other contractors missed and explained to me so that I understand how the innards of my home operate. I would definitely call him for any future needs. read more

Abe was prompt (came over about an hour after I called in the middle of a weekday), and really efficient (fixed my garbage disposal within 15 mins). However, he is really expensive as well ($175 to come to my place to remove some debris from the disposal). He doesn't talk much, which I am fine with. In my opinion, he's a go to plumber if you need something done ASAP and are willing to pay for it, but not a cheap option. read more

Hate to sound like a broken record, but here goes: Abe really IS awesome! After 24 hours of no running water and waiting for our Home Warranty company to dispatch a local plumber to fix our leaky pressure reducing valve, Abe shows up in 24 MINUTES! Actually it was probably a bit less but you get the idea. My wife and I just had a baby girl 4 weeks ago, and running water is a MUST. I called Abe and he showed up that same evening, fully equipped. Cut out the old valve, assembled the new one, soldered it in and we were up and running in less than an hour. The guy really knows his stuff. He cleaned his joints and showed me it was leak free. FAST, reliable, knowledgeable. He even does some pre- troubleshooting over the phone. He quoted my price before he started his work, and that's exactly what I paid for his services. He'll be the only guy I'm calling when I need plumbing work. I hope he NEVER retires! read more

Abe was able to come out on short notice. Address the issue and got back up and running in no time. Would highly recommend them!

Abe was absolutely fantastic at fixing our toilet. He came the same day we called, and got us up and running quickly. He is so easy to work with. We will be calling him again when we have any other plumbing needs. Very knowledgable, he knows his stuff! Highly recommend. read more

At 9 PM on Sunday night our kitchen started flooding after we turned on the dishwasher. The garbage disposal had stopped working and stopped draining. I called Abe, who for free, talked us through opening up the garbage disposal and freeing the obstruction. He was very professional, and gave us impeccable service. For free. I will definitely call Abe for all my plumbing needs while I live in DC. read more

Good service. Abe arrived at our home less than 30min after we called him, found the source of the problem, quoted me on the cost to replace a pipe along with peripheral plumbing components, replaced the pipe and was a very peasant and professional individual. He even gave me some tips regarding what I need to do if a similar problem ever occurs in any other house I own. All in all, I had my plumbing issue fixed within 2 hours of calling him. UPDATE: I was charged $325 to replace a 1 foot section of 2" pvc pipe in my basement. Back when I knew nothing about plumbing, I was okay with this - but now that I am more experienced with plumbing work, I have to say this was quite an exorbitant charge for the 30min of work that was required to make the repair. read more

I found Abe through Yelp and am so grateful for the positive reviews. We had a ton of water underneath our kitchen sink and had no idea what went wrong. Just from calling Abe, he immediately guided us on how to fix it over the phone for free! The problem was the pullout faucet hose came loose. As soon as we tightened it, we were good to go, thanks Abe!!! So generous with your advice and help, if we have any other problem, we'll call you! I was trying to figure out how to leave a "tip" but haven't yet...Fellow yelpers, if you find a tidal wave randomly under your kitchen sink and have a pullout nozzle...try tightening it and all will be well again! Tips from Abe, not me! :) read more

Very pleased with Abe. Very professional. You can tell this man is genuine, as he positively and efficiently represents himself, and his company. Our bath tub faucet had a leak, and was wasting water with a continuous drip drip drip. Turned to Yelp for recommendation and was impressed with the other reviews for Abe, so out he came in less than an hour. Arrived, we talked the issue through and proposed the solution. Now here's what he quoted me. $75 just to come out there and look. If we agreed to do the work, he waives that fee, and then you just pay the repair charge plus parts. I was a little surprised at how expensive he quoted the job, but after some back and forth we settled on a number that was reasonable. I did appreciate that. Once he got to work, there was no messing about. Bing bam, job was done. No more leak. He even offered advice on another project and was helpful in that regard. Would definitely use him again. In fact, seeing as how I broke a pipe in my wall last night attempting to replace the sink, I'm going to call him right now... [6 hours later] Well he came out again and helped fix that broken pipe. He seemed to be very busy, and came across in what I am now able to recognize as his usual no-nonsense manner. But the work was done quickly, and I have no complaints. Would recommend. read more

Abe was very responsive when I submitted a quote request on yelp. I needed a replacement garbage disposal and had ordered one from Home Depot. He advised me the garbage disposal wouldn't fit and that he could install another model that he normally carries, but I looked up information on some online forums that said the specific model I bought (though not that line in general) WOULD fit. I told him to come over and try to install it, and he said he'd bring the other model anyway. Well, he showed me the measurements in my cabinet and, sure enough, he was right. Haha. He installed the model he initially proposed and I returned my model to home depot. I also price-checked the model he installed and he basically gave me the bulk purchase discount. In addition to being correct about which models would fit my pipes and doing a quick and great installation, he was also a super nice guy and had great communication. He saw my son reading a book and said he was proud of him. Nice guy! Highly recommended. read more

Abe did a great job - he provided very fast service, but the cost was a premium (I think because he gave a quote over the phone). He showed me how the entire job was done, and brought me in at key points to make decisions as the work proceeded. Also, his price was about 60% the price of other quotes I got for the same work over the phone- and there was no pressure for upsales, etc. He did however break my tile during install (which was failing) - and I didn't realize the work-level required to replace those tiles. I wish I could give him a higher review, but looking back the cost was arguably 30-50% higher than it should have been. Again, the cost was based on a phone quote - now I know to pay for the quote and save in the end. read more

This guy is THE MAN. Like many here, I found Abe through Yelp. My toilet stopped working this morning, and what seemed to be an easy fix (replacing the antisiphon valve) turned into a frustration of epic proportions when I could neither turn off the water valve to the toilet, nor could I remove the old antisiphon valve. My older home had some seriously ancient fixtures, and minerals had locked the water valve open (and no amount of WD-40 and elbow grease was getting it closed), and the old, weird antisiphon valve was just glued in there with crud. Oy. So I call Abe, he's in my area on another call and says he'll be here soon. He arrives, and with little fanfare, he rocks my toilet -- replaces the water valve, replaces the antisiphon, and does it SO QUIETLY MY KIDDO DOESN'T WAKE UP FROM HER NAP IN THE NEXT ROOM. A+ for that, Abe! He's a quiet, efficient, and smart guy. Definitely knows his stuff, and he's worth every penny of his fee. I will be calling him again the next time I need a plumber. read more

I'm all in with Abe!!! Forget being the best plumber, he is probably the best contractor I have ever met. I called Abe at 5:35 pm because our kitchen sink had been leaking....he told me it be $75 to come out the same night. Ok?!?! 2.5 hours later, the sink has been replaced with a brand new faucet and no more leak. I only wish he did more than just plumbing. A true professional and a honest individual. read more

I used Abe's plumbing recently for water leaking into my garage. Abe came and looked at the toilet (which was our suspected source of the leak), but quickly determined the leak was actually the result of an improperly installed tub. He neatly cut into the garage drywall and was able to fix the issue with no damage or disruption to the newly remodeled bathroom, which I was very happy about. He even showed us the damaged screw that had been mis-installed during the reno by our other (re: former!) plumber. Abe was prompt and professional, and I will call him when I have plumbing issues in the future. read more

Our kitchen sink started leaking the day before Christmas Eve. Not being able to use the kitchen until after the holidays would not have been fun. Called my home warranty company and they gave me someone who wasn't even open on the weekends, and when I called back they told me they can take up to three days to contact me about fixing it. Looked on Yelp for plumbers and Abe was at the top of the list. Gave him a call and he said he would be there within an hour and he was! He fixed the leak quickly and now we can cook for Christmas. He also fixed a slow running toilet for not much more. Wish I could recommend him higher than 5 stars, because it was night and day compared to dealing with the warranty company. Doesn't take credit cards, but does take checks. I will be calling him again in the future! read more

Quick & efficient service. Arrived within an hour of call. Was trying to help me diagnose a water stain on our ceiling. He took the time to really dig in and find out that it was the gasket from the overflow on the tub. Fixed it and did some other quick plumbing repairs around the house. No nonsense. Told me cost up front and was easy to work with. Thanks Abe! read more

Abe to the rescue, again! We had a leaking faucet in our laundry room and Abe put in the fix. We've lived in the area for four years, and this is our second home built in the 70s--obviously, plumbing issues will arise. As always, he was efficient, professional and his workmanship was first rate! That said, almost above all the other attributes of his work is that his work is guaranteed. If he fixed it and the repair fails, if you call, he'll be right back to give it another shot. Bottom line, all plumbing issues are stressful, but knowing that he is only a phone call away and will be at your house as soon as possible, makes him our "go-to" guy. We always call Abe! read more

Our shower handle cartridge broke and couldn't be dislodged, and since the handle was stuck in the "on" position, and the cutoff valves (even if they exist) were inaccessible, I had to turn off the water in our entire house. When I called him, Abe tried to talk me through the repair on the phone, and came over when I still couldn't remove the cartridge. He was done within 30 minutes, and showed me how to do the repair myself if I need to do it again. Abe charged $275, which is about what I thought the repair would cost if I called a larger company. I'll definitely call him again. read more

I am not sure how he has so many five-star reviews. I contacted him and he came out to look at what the repair I needed and because I wasn't ready for him to do the repair right then and there he became rude and said thank you and have a great day and left. Never explained what the repair entailed either. Unless you need something done right away and you don't call any other plumbers then I suppose he would be a good choice. But I'm not going to commit to a job when I don't even know what that entails. read more

Just like all of the other reviews...Abe is Awesome! I researched on Yelp and Abe had the most 5 star reviews so I called. He actually showed up in less than 30 minutes..on a Sunday! He did the job to attach a new valve under the sink. He was quick and thorough. Just a top notch experience. read more

I know Mr. Abe has a great review & but added one more to his since he fixed our toilet problem without coming our place!!! After a few days of battle with my condo management, I was told to bring a contractor for fix... So my husband & I wanted to ask the best guy, Mr. Abe. After explaining the problem, he told me that what my facility management problem assessment was completely wrong & have me a tip where to look for the problem despite the fact that he is not servicing in DC (very nice!!!!) In fact, Mr. Abe was right & I could easily fix the problem myself having extra money & headache of finding a contractor for fix!!!! I wanted to share this since he's really nice at heart but don't do fake "friendly" act on you so I could imagine some may think he's not nice/rude but he's just a super professional :-) (and this reminds me of my dad generation in Japan or guy from "Dream of Jiro Sushi"!) Awesome, Abe-san!!! read more

Abe has come out to our house twice now for different plumbing issues and we've had excellent experiences both times. The first time was on a weekend and the second was in the evening and he came out the same day both times (within a couple hours the second time). He was professional, courteous and talked me through everything that he was doing. He wanted to make sure that I understood what was involved in the process rather than just handing me a bill when he was done. He also advised me on how to fix it myself in the future. The price was very reasonable, especially considering he came out on a weekend and at the last minute in the evening (he was here until 7:30 tonight, he actually just left). I would definitely call him again in the future and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who needs a trustworthy plumber. read more

After calling other plumbers that wanted to screw us, Abe was a breath of fresh air! He was here in less than 20 minutes, fixed our plumbing issue of course, and was very personable and professional. I will be using Abe for all of my plumbing needs henceforth, highly recommended! read more

Abe was fast, efficient, and fair with pricing. Today is my nephew's bday party and we were hosting at my home when our drain in our kitchen decided to clog. My father in law worked for 2-3 hours trying to clear the stoppage before I began looking for plumbers. After calling a few plumbers in the area, I came across Abe's listing on Yelp and decided to give him a try. He was the only one that was able to make a emergency trip to my home and mind you, on a Saturday. He made an exception to service my home which was outside of his service area and arrived in less than 30 minutes. Upon arrival, I was not home but Abe had already started working on clearing the stoppage and noticed the garbage disposal and several pipes were old and improperly installed. He spend more time on correcting the pipes than clearing the stoppage. In the end, Abe was fair with his pricing and was detailed in showing me what the issues were and how he would correct them. I wish I had my original log in with my 300 plus reviews but for whatever reason, I am unable to recover the password. I am posting his information no my facebook account as well. This is my way of showing appreciation for his quality of work and willingness to serve his customers. Thanks Abe. read more

We had this guy cone out for the sane reason add two other plumbers and he was the only guy who wad able to fix the problem and it lasted more then one month going on two years now. And he is cheaper then most Abs helps u over the phone. read more

Abe is a great plumber. I had a toilet that had trouble flushing as well as high water pressure (I have my own gauge and measured at ~85psi). I didn't want to mess with the water pressure regulator so I called Abe to fix both problems. Abe arrived within an hour and fixed both problems. He was very casual and polite. I highly recommend him for any plumbing work you need done. $75 service call charge $175 toilet snake $375 water pressure regulator replacement He waived the service call charge and put the cost towards the repair. Give him a call. read more

My husband and I woke up on a Sunday morning to find that after 60+ inches of rain this year, our sump pump had finally failed. I called Abe's Plumbing, fully expecting this to be a massive ordeal. Instead, we called at 7:34 AM and Abe had replaced our sump pump and was walking out the door by 9 AM! All for a reasonable cost. I am amazed and would highly recommend using his services in the future! read more

Experienced, professional, competent, and the most reasonably priced plumber I have found in the Alexandria area. I first called Abe for a plumbing emergency the day before Thanksgiving. He came immediately and was incredibly helpful in snaking our main sewer line. Other estimates I had for the service were at least $125 more than Abe charged me, and he knew how to do it without removing the toilet from the floor, which would have incurred additional charges. The cap for my home's clean-out sewer access was also rusted shut - Abe was able to remove it and replace it with no problem. I have since called on Abe for other plumbing services, and he's been great every time. Highly recommended. read more

I had Abe come out to replace a pressure reducing valve (actually, he just left). He was very responsive and came out the same day. He's got a tough exterior, but he's a good guy. He was very knowledgeable and professional; as far as I can tell he did a great job. Afterwards, he showed me how I can adjust the water pressure throughout my house. His price was fair, and I would use him again. read more
