I hired Drain Pros to replace the wax ring on my toilet because I believed it had been installed…read morewrong. The good: Seth came to my house the same afternoon I called. He was very friendly and helped me with more than just the toilet seal, offering to clean out my sinks and identifying the cause of a defective faucet that my landlord had ignored. He also removed a small clog from my plumbing that I was unaware of. The bad: I'm not confident Seth completed did the job I hired him for. He spent a lot of time pouring baking soda, talking with the neighbor, and explaining his political views, but at no point did I see him replace the wax ring on my toilet. He later texted that he would send photos of the old seal as proof that he had completed the job, but when he did share a few pictures, they were unrelated. The next day, I discovered that one of the bolts holding the toilet in place was loose. I brought it up, and he claimed he intentionally left it that way and forgot to tell me I should tighten it myself the next day. I haven't found any evidence that this is a normal step in replacing a wax ring, but in either case, not everyone would have thought to check. Finally, I never received an invoice for the work. He promised to send one, but after following up five times over two weeks via both text and phone call, I've still heard nothing. He has stopped responding to messages. I liked Seth as a person, but I recommend hiring someone more professional for important plumbing work.

Bo was able to respond within a day of calling and was in for the challenge which was the result of years and years of gradual drain build-up (no longer being able to run the washing machine or sink drains). We could not have asked for any better service/treatment for Bo's prompt response and diligence to find where the main drain was plugged. The reviews were our guide in looking for a trusted and reliable person to help and we can say that Bo did not disappoint. Thank you Bo!!!

He was great to deal with right off the bat and has a wonderful personality. He makes everyone feel comfortable and never fails to get you laughing either! Very open and honest about everything he does, showing us physically along the way what he would do and explain it all to us as he went. Being involved like that when you're the homeowners is awesome because you also learn as you go. We hadn't needed him in quite a few year's after replacing our old septic system (sorry Bo) but when our washer suddenly began backing up recently and sporadically, he was the one we called. He just left a little while ago in fact and all of the plumbing in the house is running amazingly well and draining quickly as it should. He's never failed to get us where we needed to be 'honestly and efficiently!' It was great to see you again Bo and catch up while you were here! Thank you so much for 'all you've done,' we really appreciate it!!!!! Take care! Time to go do some laundry now!!!! :) Audrey and Bobby Chagnon

We had a great experience with Dennis replacing our combi system with a new boiler and water tank…read morein June 2026. Dennis was responsive to calls and communicated through every step of the install and was highly knowledgeable. Will certainly call him again if we need any add'l work down the line.

Dennis does great work, gets to us quickly in an emergency, is pleasant and professional.read more

Tyler of Pipe Dreams Sewer & Drain is *fantastic*. I've lived in my townhouse condo for nearly 12…read moreyears, and the kitchen sink has never drained marvelously well. I had understood that it was due at least in part to a shallow grade of the outlet pipe...whatever. A couple of years ago, it had gradually become clogged enough that it was draining painfully slowly. I had RotoRooter out to clear it, and when the work was done, it was much better. It drained just fine, like before. Over two or three months this past fall, it gradually slowed down again, and I waited because I remembered how expensive it was the last time. Finally, there was no more waiting. It had become gross, it was so *disgustingly* slow, and I was even wondering whether it would require major work of some kind. I am so happy to have seen the glowing reviews here of Pipe Dreams. I called them & they were able to get me in in two days. Tyler was here for about an hour, and the tools he used were very different from the long, manual snake that RotoRooter had used. It/they were motorized things that had a reach far down the pipes. Tyler explained that he was staying mindful of the neighbors' pipes and not disturbing those. When he was done, he filled the sink with water & then released it. Since we bought this place all those years ago, I had NEVER seen it empty so fast, and I didn't even think it was possible. The water began to spin and make the most beautiful whirlpool and then was gone. The whole time he was here, Tyler could not have been more considerate, clear in his communication, and helpful. He also gave me tips on how to keep the drain clear. I kept meaning to write this review soon after he was here, but it's now been three months - oops! Here is the bright side to the delay: I can report that the sink has been draining wonderfully ever since, and it makes me soooo happy every time I use the sink. Call Pipe Dreams! You will be glad you did.

They were reliable, open and honest about the entire process even when the items on the blueprint didn't match the actual equipment that had been installed 20 years prior, along with outdated instalment features.

We enjoyed getting to know them and were very impressed with how much they care. They made the job change work with the price they had quoted us as well, which was very reasonable.

TOP NOTCH WORK AT A FAIR PRICE I can't say enough in praise…read moreof Erik and Nathalie. When my boiler suddenly stopped working, other contractors didn't even call back. Nathalie called that afternoon to say Erik would be right over, and he was! He explained what was needed and gave me a quote. And he came back early the next day, telling me I had to have heat ad hot water. They did the work thoroughly and efficiently and were a pleasure to deal with. And when my AC quit, again, Erik was there the same day. He showed me the material commonly used, which has major issues. He made a temporary fix, as the next day was to be hot, then came back to make a permanent repair. Nathalie runs the office and works with Erik when a job needs two people. They're smart and professional but also the kind of people you'd like to hang out with. I will definitely use them again and recommend them to everyone. P.S. I'm in St. Albans VT, not San Fran!
