My master bathroom had a leaky toilet. Called Northern Plumbing and they did an awesome job. Now it's as good as new! I spent about $250

Gas hot water heater replaced on a late Friday night emergency call. Outstanding work! We could not be happier. The pricing, professionalism, workmanship and timing was exceptional. Five stars always for the crew at Northern Plumbing! read more

Northern Plumbing is the best plumbing service around. We were thrilled to find them several years ago, after trying several other popular local plumbers who failed to provide the level of quality, service, reasonable pricing and overall honesty and professionalism that we needed and wanted. Scott and the awesome assistants on his small but mighty plumbing team were the first to provide all of those valuable things and more, and they have done so consistently ever since. They are also incredibly nice and easy to work with, no matter how big or small the job is at hand. Most importantly, their work is always done perfectly and completed on time, and pricing is very reasonable--and explained in very helpful detail, which makes a big difference if you're like me and actually prefer to know about all that stuff and understand everything that's being done. If you have other questions or want more information about anything, you're in luck, because Scott is fun to talk to and seems genuinely happy to answer questions, address concerns, plan for future projects or anything else in this regard. He is also extremely responsive and prompt to all service requests, and he personally answers all calls at any time of day--or night. (Example: I called and left a message at 4:30am after a dishwasher flooding emergency last fall. Scott called back at 5:03am and apologized for the "delay" in response. He then listened patiently to my tale of woe, calmly talked me through the problem and explained what he would do to fix it, then scheduled an appointment for 8am. He and his assistants had everything fixed by 9am. All for less than the price of a diagnostic visit from others we've tried in the past. True story.) Seriously great plumbing service all around. 5 starts is not enough. read more

Deceptive practices, exorbitant pricing. Tried to upsell a replacement unit, but upon discovering our unit was under warranty, suddenly just a valve replacement was needed. Owner doesn't think it's his customer service staff has an obligation to clearly communicate pricing. read more

Kobe was great! Experienced in the field, polite and thorough. Very impressed with his work ethic.

Extraordinary service and availability! Good pricing and value. We are relatively new to the area. On several occasions, we've called upon Northern Plumbing to install handicapped toilet, repair kitchen leaks, a running toilet, etc. Northern Plumbing was always available, and provided a layman's explanation of required repairs. The costs of repairs have always been reasonable. Yesterday, Antonio came to repair our continuously running, noisy toilet. He diagnosed the problem, had the needed part in his truck, and made the repair all within 45 minutes. He was professional, polite, and friendly. (He even wore shoe covers to protect our floors. ) We've owned 11 houses over the course of our 40 year marriage. I can confidently say that Northern Plumbing tops our list of preferred contractors. read more

I've used Northern Plumbing in my home for toilet and leak repairs and a water pressure valve install. I've also used them in a rental property with numerous failing old fixtures and pipes. They are always available quickly, incredibly friendly and responsive, and always get the job done right. read more

Scott is a magician. Or maybe a superhero in disguise? We had an issue with sewage backing up in our yard, we had gone through multiple plumbers who snaked it and left (which didn't work), and he was the only one who could accurately diagnose and fix the problem. It was super expensive, but given the scope of the issue, I was mostly glad it wasn't worse. read more

Had an excellent experience with Ryan at Northern. I had gathered a number of quotes for a large sink project in my new kitchen. Northern was the most competitive quote, and every touch point I had with the business was delightful. I also immediately referred some local family who had an emergency need, and they were quite pleased with their work as well. read more

Scott was a pleasure to work with through-and-through. He was recommended to us by the Northern Virginia Mother's Group. I reached out to five vendors and Scott was the first to reply with a quote and next steps. He had high-touch communication via text and phone calls. We received our part in two days with Scott (it took First Class Plumbing 1.5 weeks to order the same part), and he installed it the same day upon arrival. He wore booties and a face mask in the middle of COVID. I stored Scott's digits on my phone so I can reach out to him in the future. I would highly recommend his services! Highly competent. read more

I can not say enough good things about Scott and his company Northern Plumbing. Professional, prompt, and most importantly, an expert at his profession! Scott solved an issue I had with my sewer line twice blocked within a year to an outside access line clogged with leaves and debris. The whole sewer line is clean and clear! Now with the problem solved it has restored my confidence in my basement plumbing! read more

My parents had an upstairs toilet leaking into the ceiling below. After asking questions and listening attentively to our observations, Ryan was able to quickly and expertly determine the most likely cause. He was very clear in his communication about the cost and the work that needed to be done. Ryan went to work straight away and completed the fix in a timely manner, and thoroughly tested the toilet to ensure the job was done. We appreciated Ryan's professionalism, expertise, and patience, and we will definitely be calling Northern Plumbing LLC for future fixes and projects. Thank you! read more

Scott and his entire team are awesome. Not only did they fix my plumbing issues but he was very helpful with finding someone for other home repairs. He did a couple of small jobs for me and then I had him replace all of the old "poly" pipes in my house. He walked me through the entire process, provided a fair price and completed the project on time! I have called Scott a few times for things that aren't really plumbing issues, he is very patient and always helps find a resolution. It has taken many years of bad experiences with other companies for me to truly appreciate Scott and his crew. They are definitely the only plumbing company I will use going forward. THANKS SCOTT, MARILYN AND CREW! #CustomerForLife Sherry E read more

Had an emergency with a burst pipe. They scheduled to come the same day and got there 3 hours early. They fixed the break and discovered another break when they turned the water back on. They stayed and fixed that one too. Very friendly people and sympathetic to our situation. We will need to have all the 35 year old Polybutylene pipes replaced. We've already asked for that estimate. Great company. read more

I've owned my home for almost 30 years and have used my share of plumber companies for all sorts of issues. I'm extremely impressed with everyone who works at Northern Plumbing. Charles is exceptionally talented and goes the extra mile. Marilyn is so helpful every time I call on the phone to set up an appointment. I've had toilet flaps replaced to eliminate ghost flushing, I've had toilet valves replaced, I've had brand new toilets installed, I've had faucets replaced, I've had bathtub spouts replaced. Each visit has been handled professionally and the prices have been extremely reasonable for the service provided. My original review stands as-is, this is just adding icing to the Northern Plumbing cake. Thanks so much, you are my go-to plumbers, Northern! read more

Scott is amazing! We obtained a couple of quotes prior to choosing a plumber and Scott seemed to be the most honest and his rates are so reasonable! Another plumber quoted me at least 3x what Scott did and told me we needed a bunch of work that really wasn't necessary and would have costed a fortune. Additionally, Scott is friendly, quick and takes a lot of pride in his work. I highly recommend this company! read more

Scott is excellent. Knowledgeable, thorough, FAST, and reasonably priced. He took the time to explain exactly what was going on and how he was going to resolve it and ensure it stays resolved. The builders for our home uses quick connect fittings for the supply line to an external hose bib inside the wall. When the faulty supply valve started to slowly let water through while shut in the winter, it caused the quick connect fittings to pop and let water start seeping into the wall cavity. Scott replaced the faulty shut off valve, the hose bib, and repacked all of the quick connect fittings with proper weld points. He then showed me the safest way to winterize the system leveraging not just an open hose bib but also the bleed valve on the shut off to prevent any issues going forward. His truck was extremely well stocked with high quality tools and parts and I even had him take care of a few extra things I had hanging around the house (like a bad toilet fill valve, and the replacement of some old shutoff valves with new quarter turn valves) while he was here because I was so impressed with his work. He was friendly and courteous all the way through and I will definitely he calling him for future plumbing needs. read more

I have used them on many occasions, for my own home and rental properties. They are fairly priced and always available within a few days. I always recommend them! read more

My sump pump began making an odd noise in the middle of the night and although I have a back up sump both are nearing the end of their life cycle. After reaching out to six different companies to find one that could provide service same day, I hit the lotto with Scott and his team! Due to timing constraints, I initially went with a different company but after their technician arrived without a sump pump for a sump pump replacement job and quoted me $2,700.00 for a new sump pump and back up plus stated that he would have to cut some pipes AND leave and drive to Maryland to get the sump pump and that he "might" be back to complete the job today, I opted out of that "service" and went with Northern Plumbing. It was the best decision I've made in a long time. Adam showed up with a sump pump, back up sump with battery, and a smile on his face. The price was half of the cost of the other quote and there was NO mention whatsoever about cutting pipes. Don't waste your time with other companies, just call Northern Plumbing. read more

Absolutely amazing service. I went through my home warranty company originally and was getting the run around... five different plumbing companies told me they were unable to help me. After almost giving up I decided to go outside my home warranty and contacted Northern Plumbing. They came within 24 hours, came with the proper tools, were extremely knowledgeable, and fixed the problem within 30 minutes. Seriously, do yourself a favor and call them. Thanks Scott & Ryan! read more

We have three showers and not one was working correctly. Ryan came out, gave us a quick but thorough run-through of what the likely issues were, a quick estimated range for the parts and work, and got us on his schedule quickly. He was on-time, got the job done, and now my kids don't have to share a single bathroom anymore. He also helped us to identify a couple trouble areas we were not aware of, and helped us with getting an idea of how to fix some things we were aware of, and we will definitely be calling this company to do more work as we work on renovating and upgrading each part of our home. Friendly guys, good work, and for a price we were more than happy to pay. read more

Gotta say I'm impressed with this guy. We had the smell of raw sewage coming from one of our bathrooms and feared we had a busted line. Several other companies wanted upwards of $150 to come out and take a look. I called Scott and after answering a couple of simple question, he told me how to resolve the issue as it turns out we have a shower in the basement that hasn't been used in several years and the water in the P trap evaporated allowing gas to come back up through the pipe. He very easily could've been like everyone else and tried to make a quick buck, but instead showed his integrity and moral compass, my hats off to him! Needless to say, if I ever need something with plumbing, he will be my first call! read more

Scott is fantastic! He was able to come by on short notice, and fixed my clogged kitchen sink quickly and efficiently. Scott is great at communicating (both via phone and in person) and he very patiently walked me through potential fixes (including some homeowner DIY options) that I could try in the future if the problem comes back. Will definitely keep Northern Plumbing in mind for future projects. read more

After calling quite a few places and being declined due to weather problems.. I called Northern Plumbing and they were here within a couple hours. (Of course they had other jobs). The staff was so so so friendly and helpful!! I give 5 stars and would recommend to others!! Thank you guys.. now I can take a shower =) read more

They are really, really good. I've interacted with maybe ~10 or so various house fixing related services since I moved into my place and they were by far the best. I've told people, unsolicited, that if they ever have plumbing issues they should call them up. I wish I was as good at my job as Antonio is at plumbing lol. When I moved into my place my shower wasn't getting sufficiently hot and I used the Yelp quote service to contact a bunch of plumbers. I first paid $325 for another company to do a diagnostic and replace the shower cartridge and for their time, which did nothing and they acknowledged did nothing, and they didn't offer me a refund. Northern Plumbing sent Antonio, who came by, looked at my heater and literally immediately gave me three reasons why my shower wasn't getting hot that made sense based on what I knew about the condo. They also didn't charge for the diagnostic, which is not common. I got a quote for replacing my heater with a new tank, after I asked several other places their quote was in the middle range, and unlike others they said exactly what model tank they'd replace it and flagged ahead of time that separate work from an electrician would also be needed, with while others just gave an estimate without even bothering to come by and actually look. They communicated by email promptly. Antonio also fixed and caulked my toilet. Again, super smooth process -- booked visit online without having to call or pay ahead of time, he showed up on time, and had his tools ready to immediately fix the issue after we agreed on price. Paid by check, which was a convenient option. read more

This company is phenomenal and I can't recommend them more highly. Prompt response time, they arrived on time, and the communication was clear and accurate from A to Z. They let me know best and worst case scenarios with the repair, so I knew what I was getting into and could make an informed decision about moving forward. Luckily, due to their careful and painstaking efforts, I was able to obtain the most ideal and least expensive result possible with these old pipes. I have already called on Northern Plumbing for two (separate) jobs and am planning on hiring them for a third. read more

I live in San Diego but have a home that I rent out in Silver Spring, Md. Because I could not be there for the repairs it was important for me to find a company that I could trust. The people at Northern Plumbing are very professional, honest assessment and fair. Scott Childers is a master plumber which is reflected in the quality of his work. I needed a water control valve replaced and he did an excellent job. It was a very small space making it a tight spot for the repairs but he went in there and did an outstanding job. I was also impressed that Scott answers his own phone and responds right away. I am very satisfied and highly recommend this company. read more

Antonio from Northern Plumbing is awesome! He replaced our kitchen sink disposal and bathtub faucet/handles and they all work great! He is very knowledgeable and friendly. I will call him for all our plumbing needs from now on! read more

Ryan was awesome from start to finish. We got text messages to confirm he was on his way and when the work was finished. He was professional, courteous (work a mask at all times and work foot covers when entering the house), and an excellent communicator. We had a fairly involved job that involved grinding up a concrete slab and removing the tub; we really appreciated that he preserved as much of the surrounding space as possible in order to save us trouble and money on the back end. Their pricing was competitive and they were quick and efficient with the work. They did a thorough evaluation and walked us through the repair step by step. We highly recommend them for all your plumbing needs. read more

Scott Childers is the real deal. He knows his tradecraft inside and out and is the consummate professional. He did the job he contracted to do, keeping me well informed without giving me too much of the technical details I could neither understand or wanted to know. He cleaned his workspace once done and the job was quality. I highly recommend his services. read more

Scott and his team are the real deal - professional through and through. Quality work, excellent communication and a pleasant attitude to boot. read more

I called this company in a bit of a panic with water all over my floor and 45 minutes later, Scott arrived and fixed my dishwasher issue immediately. In less than 10 minutes the problem was fixed and he hooked me up with an awesome water clean up service. Highly reccomend their services! I'll definitely use again for any issues I have. read more

Class acts! I did not get to schedule but experience was great and they educated me and kept it real about cost and effort. I recommend as opposed to feeling like you are getting jipped as is the case with the competition read more

I just had my new hot water tank installed and I must say the service is excellent. Scott, the owner, is always picking up his phone and him and his team provides excellent service. They strive to do the right thing for their customers. Thank you and I will totally use their service again. Reasonable prices and best in service. read more

Northern Plumbing was great! On-time, friendly, explains what the issue is and what the fix will be, and is a great price. Well worth a call if you are having any issue. We had a leak in our ceiling from our 2nd story bath tub and they knew where to look immediately to find the leak with minimal impacts to the house. I will be using them for any plumbing issues I have in the future. Give them a try. You won't be sorry. read more

My water heater went out. Scott gave me a quote on the phone and came out to install a new one that same day. Competitively priced. Great great service. I have bookmarked him to call again for any plumbing issues, so that's a sign of the confidence I have in his work. read more

Hollin Hall Plumbing referred me to this company since the owner of Hollin Hall retired. The prices of Hollin Hall were always reasonable and fair. This company did the job but their prices are outrageous. They charged me $400 to fix two toilets. It took less than an hour. read more

Terrific experiences. Clogged shower drain. Fast, neat, careful. Have used them twice now and will do so again,

We've called Northern Plumbing out a couple times now and have had a great experience everytime. Charles was great at explaining what could be done and even the details of how some of this could be done. I do also want to mention that talking with Marilyn at the office was also very pleasant. It is always comforting to work with a company I feel like I trust. read more

Our toilet clogged. We weren't able to fix it with a plunger. Northern plumbing was quick to respond and fix the issue! Scott was very polite. I will definitely be using them again for any future needs!!!!! Thanks Northern Plumbing! read more
