These days, it is rare to find such honest service, but Dave definetly offers this. It's nice when you call DC Plumbing, you actually get through to Dave. He recently re-piped our entire house (copper) and did a great job in just 2 days. He was easy to deal with, very honest and a nice guy as well. We will definetly use him for all our plumbing needs. read more

Thanks Dave! Awesome service! Installed my tankless water heater in one day.

DC Plumbing has serviced my entire house. Dave is a great guy. He's honest and very reasonably priced! HIGHLY RECOMMEND for any plumbing issues. read more

I needed some plumbing work done around my house. I emailed DC Plumbing over the weekend. I got a prompt response and Dave set up a time to come by Monday. The work was done within a few hrs even when it turned out to be a bigger project then expected. Dave is a real down to earth kind of guy. With quick quality work and fair prices I will call DC plumbing for all my future plumbing needs. read more

We had a leak in our garage and Dave fixed it right away. My hubby said he was really nice, professional and helpful. We are happy to finally have a Plumber read more

Called Dave to see if he could do some repairs in order for us to sell our home and he showed up that day! He made a list of materials needed and showed up the next day as promised, on time (maybe a little early!) and went to work. Great guy, very reasonable and he knows his stuff! Do yourself a favor and call Dave for your plumbing needs, you won't be disappointed! read more

I called Dave for an estimate on getting a full house re-pipe. Dave scheduled an appointment, arrived on time, and within a few minutes gave an estimate that included drywall repair. Dave never pressured me and only called once to make sure I received my estimate he sent via email. Dave uncovered some problems while working on my house and fixed them without adding any cost to his original estimate. I am a retired plumber and know how some plumbers can increase prices for small items; however, Dave never tried to upsell me and stuck to his original estimate. Nice job Dave! Clinton read more

Dave just left my house. I asked him to come and reset my toilet which had been done a few times in the last several months and obviously not done correctly. He was here for less than half an hour and my toilet is great! I will definitely use Dave again for my Plumbing needs. read more

I found DC Plumbing while searching for someone to replace my garbage disposal and clear my tub drain. I called one other company that never called me back. DC Plumbing called back in less than 5 minutes. We scheduled for the next day but I had to reschedule. He was nice enough to come the following morning even though he had to go out of town immediately after the appointment. Great experience...fair prices...I would highly recommend. read more

Excellent work and prompt response to urgent calls! Thank you Dave for your awesome service! Glad to have a great plumber in the neighborhood! read more

This makes me sad to have to review this way but I tried to give him every opportunity to redeem, but it ended up being a let down. I initially found Mike and DC plumbing by once again checking reviews on Yelp. I talked to him and he was very straight forward which I liked (no speal about pricing etc). He was SUPER helpful initially and came over and tried a quick fix for our leaky shower. Unfortunately the fix did not end up working and this is where the problems started. Dave is a plumber, but once there is evidence of water damage, he told us that I need to utilize a flood mitigation specialist which he recommended. He recommended a man by the name of Mike Ciccone (sp?) who was the "flood specialist." I trusted Dave because he was so straight forward. Well, Mike was pretty much a scam artist. He charged $7k (plus on the invoice, he charged for miscellaneous items/things that he never did) for removing less than 50sqft of drywall and placing a total of 5 fans for 5 days. He had not ACTUALLY DONE ANY WORK AT THIS TIME. We then had Dave return to fix another pipe and asked him about Mike and how reliable he was because we were starting to see more and more scamming come through in his plans. Dave did not comment one way or another, but unfortunately the referral came directly from Dave so he had to know that Mike was not running an ethical business. At this point we decided to find another flood mitigation specialist who upon assessment found that Mike had not done any proper water mitigation or drying in the first place so we had to PAY AGAIN to dry out the area, for a much different price of $1,200. In the mean time Mike had said he was looking into finding the price of the original tile so that we could get the "most for our money." We never heard from him again after that. We are now remodeling our whole bathroom that was damaged by the water, but we lost a month of work because of working with Mike. Upon reaching out to Dave, he never responded after questions regarding Mike and the switch to a different mitigation company. We thought Dave was a good hardworking reliable plumber and if we hadn't referred us to Mike, I think we might still be using him for our plumbing needs, but he had to know that Mike was a shady person because in his text message to me he stated "My flood guy does good work." Very unfortunate circumstances. read more

Dave is great! We called at 7am, because our hot water heater was leaking, and he answered the phone and said he be at our house within an hour. We had a new water heater installed and running by lunchtime! Thank you Dave! read more

Dave is awesome. I've had him out a couple times and this last time I called at 7:30 pm with an emergency and he was out within 10 minutes. Fixed it right up. read more

Dave is the man! My wife accidentally dropped a pen down the toilet on a Friday night which was causing some major flushing issues. Saturday afternoon I started calling plumbers in San Marcos. Being a contractor myself I knew it would be difficult to get someone out on a Saturday. Dave was the only one who answered and came right over. Not only did he fix my toilet but he referred me to a potential client. DC plumbing is now my preferred plumbing company. Affordable, professional, and a no B.S. approach is what you'll get with this company. I will refer them to my clients and friends. read more

Called Dave on Sunday and he answered the phone immediately and gave me a reasonable quote on the phone for the job I needed (replacing a couple corroded and leaky lines at my water heater). He was out first thing Monday morning and had the job finished in a fast, professional manner. He also tested the regulator on my main, which turned out to have failed, and replaced the regulator same day. His prices were reasonable and his work was fantastic. I definitely recommend Dave for your plumbing needs! read more

I highly recommend DC Plumbing. We had an extremely messy job and Dave was able to assess the situation, give us a fair quote and start work as soon as promised. He finished ahead of time and it looked great after! Thanks for everything. read more

We used Dave a little over a year ago to help us out with a problem connecting a new fridge. He seemed honest and knowledgeable so we trusted him. When our toilet recently clogged, he was the first we called. He came quickly and on time which we appreciated and unclogged our toilet. While he was here he commented several times about our "crappy toilet" (very unprofessional in my opinion) and then, two days later our toilet clogged up again. Since he had already charged me $120, I nicely asked him to come out to take a second look at our toilet. Dave refused to come out and insisted that our toilet was old and we should just replace it. Since he did not seem to care to help us further, we reached out to another plumber. This plumber said our toilet is not old at all and after removing the toilet, proved that the toilet was not the problem. Now we are out extra money and we get to return a toilet to Home Depot. I would not recommend this company. read more

We had a leak in our back yard under concrete. Dave came over promptly and provided a quote of full repair in no time. It turned out that there was much more to do than we anticipated, but Dave was professional, efficient and accommodating. Dave is one of those professionals, I rarely come across. We are so grateful for his great job and would recommend Dave to anybody, who is looking for any kind of plumbing service. read more

I had issues with my water heater pilot so I called the number on a sticker attached to the heater that the previous owners had left. Dave was extremely helpful and guided me through each step over the phone and had it up and running again in no time. I asked him how much I owed him and he just asked for a good word. Other people would have easily charged us an arm and a leg for something so simple. Glad we found a great and honest plumber in our new neighborhood. read more

I've used DC Plumbing for multiple jobs as have my neighbors and he does excellent work. Fast, Fair Price and stands behind his work. He replaced all the angle stops in my house, installed a tank less water heater and will be back to install a Halo filtration system shortly. read more

We had DC Plumbing re-pipe our house. They were always professional and efficient. We would recommend them to anyone.

After an unsatisfactory experience with a different plumber, we found DC Plumbing through a Google search and are so glad. Dave was able to come over the next day for our non-emergency problem and fixed one of our toilets on the spot and after uncovering an additional problem with another toilet came back the next morning and fixed us up. Reasonable price and fast service. It's great knowing we have someone we can call on that we trust! read more

Our hot water tank broke. A neighbor recommended Dave from DC Plumbing and I was so happy that I called him. He was at our home within 15 minutes, recommended two different options - a possible temporary fix or since the tank was almost 10 years old, replacing it for something more energy efficient. He was courteous, efficient and honest and reasonably priced. I was happy with the service and would definitely call him again if we ever had more plumbing issues. read more

Great experience with DC Plumbing. five stars all the way! I have been considering converting over to a tankless water heater and adding a Halo Water Filtration System for a few months. I called Dave with DC Plumbing and he scheduled a same day appointment with me. Dave explained everything to me about converting over to a tankless system and about the Halo Water System. He quoted a great price and said he could install everything the next day. True to his word, Dave showed up on time the next morning and began the install. He and his apprentice were very professional throughout the install and when they were done everything was cleaned up and looked great. The tankless hot water heater works perfect and now with our Halo Water System our water right out of the tap (any tap in our house) tastes better than any bottled water you can buy. I would recommend Dave with DC Plumbing to anyone who needs a plumber and/or is considering converting over to a tankless hot water heater (he does regular water heaters as well) or a water filtration system. read more

Water heater replaced. Easy to work with, did a great job, and priced to compete. I'm already thinking about what else they can do for me

I reached out to DC Plumbing (Dave) on the recommendation of a friend who had used him the past and was very happy. When we spoke and I explained the problem with our kitchen sink and the water leakage we were experiencing below in the cabinet, Dave promptly scheduled a time to come out the same day. He also mentioned something that we could check ourselves to see if that was the problem and possible save us some money. Turns out it was and he was able to help us over the phone at no charge. He was happy to help and we will be happy to call him for future plumbing issues! read more

Dave from DC Plumbing was awesome! He came on time and did his job quickly! Highly recommend! Thank you!

Dave from DC Plumbing did a great job! He is very knowledgeable and got the plumbing tasks finished on time. He is definitely a reliable and professional plumber that I would recommend to others. Further, he has a good sense of humor which makes the work that need to be done more pleasurable in the process. Overall, I am very satisfied with his services and would definitely call upon him again for future plumbing needs. read more

I am sure Dave is a good plummer, however; I had my house here in San Diego, Remodeled and added on a couple rooms and had a Tankless Water Heater installed in 2008. While the plummers were installing it they made a comment that they had never seen anything like this and were constantly making phone calls to see how to install it. Well, now it is leaking and costing me bundles of money in my water bill and Dave apparently DOES NOT stand behind his workmanship. I am glad many of you have had such great luck with him and I wish all of you the best and that you never have any problems with him nor his work. He was contracted through the contractor of the now defunct Calm Waters Construction owned by Mr. Brad Bowes who I am unable to get to come out either. I am going to also send a letter to the Californis State Plummers Association to just advise waht type plummers they are issuing licenses to. Of course these are just my personal opinion from doing business with Dave. I am used to doing work with people who stand behind their work 100%+. Good luck to all of you have used Dave and I sincerely hope you never have any problems down the road. Sincerely, Jim Stahlschmidt read more

Dave came out and installed two toilets at a reasonable cost. He was great and replaced some other parts, and broken floor mounting bolts that were needed as well. read more

Dave totally saved our Thanksgiving! Cleaning our downstairs bathroom and the tub faucet wouldn't turn off (the internal cartridge stripped out). So, we have 18 coming for dinner and no water on in the house...oh, and all hardware stores are closed for the day. After several calls I was put in touch with Dave who had the part I needed to save our day. Oh, and he didn't charge me for it! Truly thankful for you and you'll definitely be my first call for any plumbing needs going forward! read more

Dave came to our house to fix our stopped up toilet within one hour of calling him. He was very polite and the most honest man that has provided a service to our home. We were given multiple options on how to accomplish the work, and once we decided, the work was completed within minutes. After the work was done, all required efforts were made to ensure no dirty water was left anywhere in our house besides in the toilet. Dave gave us a military discount, and our final bill was significantly less than any other quote we got from other local plumbers. Awesome guy, awesome experience. Oh, and he was nice to our dogs too! read more

Very impressed with the service and expertise of Dave and DC Plumbing. He was very responsive, provided excellent service, and fixed everything in one visit. I have used several different plumbers over the past couple of years, but will now be using DC Plumbing for all issues going forward. Prompt, efficient, knowledgeable, and reasonable priced, I highly recommend without reservation. read more

We had a major leak in our water system - the line from the curb to the house. Dave came over and spent an hour of his own time trying to find the leak. When it was obvious that major digging and possible sidewalk tear up was necessary, Dave provided an estimate and pulled together a team to do the job. When it was clear the leak may involve tear up of expensive entry way of paving stones, he developed a less intrusive alternative plan to run a new line from the curb to the house. His work was completed in two days and the quality was excellent. Overall, we had a good experience with Dave and would recommend him for future work. 5-stars! read more

Dave was great. He came on time, fixed the problem and double checked everything. He fixed all joints behind the wall to make sure the shower was operable again. Dave assured me to fix another problem related to the repair. If you have any plumbing problem, stop and call Dave. I highly recommend him. read more

I normally do not have time to write reviews. That said, I am making time to write this 5 star review for Dave at DC Plumbing. On two seperate occassions, Dave has saved me and our home by going above and beyond.The first time was Monday, 7-05-15. Our water heater busted on Sunday afternoon, the 4th of July holiday weekend. Hanna plumbing who we had previously always used for our home plumbing needs would take a week to estimate the new water heater work and even longer to install. As you can imagine no water for a week is a major inconvience. We then called three other plumbers the morning of 7-5-15 after researching reviews on Yelp. Dave was in the middle of a job that morning, answered his cell phone and said he would come over afterwards. He arrived at our home by noon. By the time other plumbers returned our emergency calls made at 7am, 8am and 10am, Dave was already on the job. He replaced our entire water heater and added a new pump to push hot water faster into the showers and kitchen for increased water savings. After the unit was installed it was 5pm and Dave then discovered our water pressure was extremely high (double) into the house from the main water line. (A wonder our water pipes inside the house walls had not already sprung a leak from the double water pressure) Dave could have left after the water heater installation and already working a 12 hr day. Instead he went back to a store to purchase our needed regulator parts in order to lower the house water pressure. Then stayed late and installed the parts with a new shut off water lever. (Which by the way replaced an old water value that was hard to use in an emergency.) When Dave left that evening our water was back on line at the house and with time savings in hot water to the kitchen sink and showers. (Which BTW has lowered our monthly water bill) His repair costs were extremely reasonable and especially considering we were an emergency on all accounts. We can confirm Dave is knowledgeable, friendly and performs quality work. Since July we were hanging shelves recently in our garage over the Labor Day weekend. While drilling, we hit a copper water pipe. Instantly a water leak in the wall. We had to use the new emergency water shut off lever. It worked like a charm. Water to the house was off in a minute versus dealing with the front yard water main. We then called Dave, explained our water issue and he came over in 30 minutes. Note on another holiday weekend (Labor Day Monday late afternoon) and repaired our cooper water pipe. He saved the day once again with his great service and quality work. Again Dave could have charged an insane amount for his time and work. Instead, he charged a very fair and reasonable amount for his work. Again Dave saved the day! For all of these reasons, we will only call Dave going forward for our plumbing services at home and at our business. Without any reservations, we highly recommend Dave and his business. read more

Dave was very prompt, knowledgeable, and friendly. He did a great job troubleshooting our water heater issue. I highly recommend DC plumbing. read more

I just called Dave this morning about a clogged sink. He came over within 15 minutes and because the job turned out to be quick and easy, he didn't even charge me. Very friendly and courteous. Very highly recommended! read more

We had a variety of plumbing tasks which has accumulated over time, including replacing the water heater and a garbage disposal, three toilet flush valves, 18 angle stops, a hose bibb, and fixing a dripping shower valve. Dave came out, gave a quote for all of these tasks, including a number of discounts. He then scheduled a service call for a Friday afternoon and got all of the above done in that one afternoon visit. Only a couple of minor glitches which he quickly took care of. And the cost for all was very competitive. One remaining problem showed up a few days later, and he came out to address that shortly thereafter. So far, so good. read more

Dave gave me a call on a Sunday, after I emailed him...he showed up promptly on Monday to replace an outdoor spigot. The price was fine and so was the service, he's a personable guy too and easy to chat it up with. I will call him again when needed! read more
