I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to work with DC Plumbing and Drain Service. My…read morepartner requested an estimate for garbage disposal removal and replacement on Yelp and received a quick response with a reasonable quote and availability within 48 hours. The work was done quickly and because we had provided pictures of our original garbage disposal, the team was able to show up with a replacement rather than making us wait. The whole process took less than 3 hours and the work site was cleaned before the crew departed. I was thoroughly satisfied with the quality of the work and am planning to seek DC Plumbing and Drain Service's help for my future plumbing and drain repair needs.

James is very responsive; however, if I could give Jeff, the plumber, a negative star I would do…read moreso. I made it very clear that my sink needed to be snaked. I made it very clear that the technician bring a drop cloth to place over my hardwood flooring, towels to wipe up water, and a bucket/pan to place underneath the sink to catch any water. This should be standard of any plumber that shows up to any home. No customer should have to tell a plumbing company this. None of these items were brought by the technician, Jeff. Instead, Jeff just showed up with a very dirty and rusted snake in a contractor bag, the smallest of rags, and no pan/bucket. Jeff dragged the dirty snake all over the hardwood flooring, ended up using my tenant's towels and pan - and he was slower than molasses in doing the job...he kept taking breaks while on the job. My tenant actually took the pan of water to the bathroom to empty in the toilet. Jeff failed to connect all of the snake together the first time - so he had to snake it a second time and add more links to the snake. Horrible experience. Just horrible. I will never again be using or recommending this company. I feel I was ripped off when it came to the amount charged as well. The high ratings shown do not reflect my experience at all. I don't like to give negative reviews - but I feel this one is definitely needed.

He immediately knew the problem was that the main sewer line needed to be snaked, and he sent someone out. That technician claimed he could not find parking and left. I reached out to Gus, who apologized and personally came out to take care of the problem. This is excellent customer service. What could have been a bad situation and review turned into a positive experience. But the initial technician needs a talking to. The price was high, but given the urgent nature and the fact that it was resolved the same day, it was worth it.

They are professional, punctual, knowledgeable and do good quality work. I very much respect the…read moretechnician, but the problem appears to lie with the company's practices and fees. The main problem and downside is that they are very expensive and overcharge. Despite the Yelp page saying that the company provides a "free estimate", I was quoted $49 for the technician to travel. In addition, if I had not chosen to go ahead with the repair, the company would have charged me an additional $150 diagnostic fee. Essentially, despite the yelp profile stating a "free estimate", it will cost you closer to $200 to get a quote. I see this as false advertisement. In addition, when the technician concluded that the problem was the capacitor, I received a final quote of $600. When I googled the price of the same capacitor online, the price range was in between 75$ - 150$. Essentially, they are charging a premium of at least $450 per replacement for a single part (capacitor). Despite their professionalism and quality work, I do not recommend this company for the reasons stated above. If price is not a concern for you, and you would rather pay twice the market value for a job then you should definitely choose them. EDIT: I actually googled the price of a capacitor and offered to buy my own. I was told that by the technician that if I purchased my own capacitor that the company would not install it. In conclusion, they did not address any of my concerns. Unfortunately, after reading the other bad reviews, there seems to be a consistent pattern of discrepancies between what they tell customers and what they instruct technicians to say on site. Making an honest living is so much more rewarding than making it dishonest living.

He has reasonable and competitive prices. He even helped me with a problem not related to the water heater. That is service above and beyond. Zivko, is so pleasant and easy to work with.

He installed a brand-new water heater, and when it appeared there was still an issue, he went above and beyond by replacing it a second time to make sure the problem wasn't with the unit itself. Ultimately, we discovered that the real issue was an electrical problem with my circuit breaker, not the water heaters. What impressed me most was Matt's honesty, professionalism, and commitment to helping me get the issue resolved. Even after determining the problem was electrical, he worked with me on pricing and generously discounted his services so I could put those savings toward getting the breaker repaired. It's rare to find someone who genuinely prioritizes helping the customer over simply completing a job. Matt was responsive, knowledgeable, and incredibly fair throughout the entire process. I highly recommend him and his company to anyone in need of plumbing or water heater services.

Jake was our plumbing technician and he did a thorough job replacing copper pipes with color-coordinated tubing in the upstairs bathroom. Installed new shut-off valves to the vanity, toilet and tub faucets and even vacuumed before he left. We had a water pressure problem after he left, and Jimmy Gusky had another tech at the house the next day to resolve it - the solution was really simple and had to do with sediment settlement near a valve when the water main was off for repairs. It was a bit embarrassing, frankly, to have a plumber open the valve when we could have done so ourselves to clear the sediment and restore water pressure. Both plumbers were great about explaining their work and the rationale behind it while they were in our home. I recommend this company for the thorough repairs and friendliness, professionalism of their techs.
