My basement drain flooded one week ago Sean, the plumber came to snake the drain. I asked for the drain to have a camera be used to look in it because I have had been issues with the basement backing up previously, and suspected the pip may be cracked.I was told that the drain was not broken. Four days later the drain had the same issues I called back was charged another fee. They told me that it was still light and that the drain was just small while home I want out of town for the holiday and come back and saw that the drain was backing up in my basement again. The money wasted and time spent was HORRIBLE along with the customer service read more

Walker & Son's Plumbing - The bad snake job. - Plumbing Near Me

This company was so kind to me when I had an emergency today. While trying to fix a faucet, a weld on a copper pipe broke loose and was gushing water from my master bathroom and flooding my dining room. I rushed to shut off the water, then call Walker & Sons as soon as I could. They didn't pick up at first, but called me back near immediately and tried to wedge me into the schedule for the evening. Keep in mind, this is the day before Christmas Eve...about an hour later, Shawn showed up and saved the day. To make it easier for him, I cut into the wall and removed the badly welded part, and he put a cap on the pipe for me until I could figure out my next steps. Seriously - thank you so much. I could use my water again, my house can stay warm over the next few days (uses copper lines in the walls), and my wife won't kill me. Plus, they were so kind and didn't charge me an after hours fee. Huge help. read more

My Sump pump broke down twice after being installed by Walker and Son. One of their techs (Shawn) put the wrong bracket on my sump pump and said he would fix it with the correct one and he never did and my basement flooded for a third time. I was reminding him to fix the bracket but since he already got paid it wasn't a priority for him anymore. I recommend you use a more reliable company. This one is not. read more

Contacted Walker and Sons to replace a shower stall. Project was on a short timeline. After agreeing to a very reasonable estimate, I was contacted to see if I would be interested in doing tile instead of a surround. LaDavia and I had several conversations and she made some great recommendations. The bathroom was very overdue for an upgrade. Basically, an estimate for a shower stall became a project to tile the shower, new shower doors, new tile on the floor and painting the room a different color. Not being good at color selection, LaDavia presented different options to choose from for the tiles and paint. They were in constant contact throughout the entire project. We absolutely love our bathroom. The work was incredibly affordable, on time, of exceptional quality, and looks fantastic. Thanks to everyone at Walker and Sons! read more

Walker & Son's Plumbing - Unbelievable work by Walker and Sons - Plumbing Near Me

I used this company to snake my kitchen and bathroom drains. Amazing job unclogging them! It feels like I have brand new plumbing! The technician (and owner) also gave me great info on how I can prevent having to call him back in the future. I will definitely use them again for my plumbing needs. read more

Update to my previous review: called Walker and Sons Plumbing for a 3rd time. This time, I actually went through the Yelp quote system again - just to see...but no one would accept the job. Messaged Walker and Sons and they texted back immediately, assesses what might be needed via text and had someone over the next day. We had to snake our shower, at the end they recommended a product to use saying "once you use this, you won't be calling me to snake your drains again." Who does that? Provide a solution to help us save money and future plumbing calls? Walker and Sons continues to be awesome and professional. Thanks again for helping our household! read more

Came in and 15 minutes later we no longer had a leaky kitchen sink. Will use again! Additionally, they were on time and friendly with our curious pup. read more

We had used Walker and Sons for some basic plumbing work and they'd done a good job. So, about two years ago, when we needed a shower replaced we called them. Huge mistake. At first things were going well, but then they apparently got a big job redoing a bunch of bathrooms at a hotel. They didn't have time for our little job. It got harder and harder to get them back to our place to work. Then, they changed the subcontractors who were doing part of the project to some people who were really, really bad. For instance, when they were installing tile along an edge, instead of cutting the tile to fit, they put in a variety of large pieces, then came in with a saws-all and tried to cut the tile off in a straight line along the edge. Horrible work. The project stretched on weeks longer than it should have. Once it was finally finished, the work was sloppy but everything seemed to work and we really wanted to get rid of these people. About a week later, the tiles in front of the shower door started moving when you stepped on them and the grout between them cracked. Walker said that that bad subcontractor must have done something wrong and that he'd come out and fix it himself. We'd have rather had a tile person do it, but fine. Fix it please. It turns out the floor tile was installed fine but that Walker had put the subflooring down wrong. It wasn't attached well enough to the beams below and was moving up and down. He fixed that and redid the tile. Unfortunately, with several gaps in time when he went to work on other projects. During one of the periods of several days when he was away, I noticed a smell in the bathroom. I lifted the lid of the toilet, which was up and out of place while the tile work was being done. Walker had peed into the disconnected toilet and the urine had been fermenting in there for three days. When he came back and tried to put the toilet into place, he ended up dumping the fermented urine around the pipe and on the floor. We didn't know this at first, we just saw him RUN out of the house and drive away. A few minutes later, we started to smell something horrible. I walked into our first floor bathroom and the fermented urine was coming down through the open ceiling (open due to long delayed and ongoing work on those pipes) in a disgusting waterfall. I called Walker's office. The woman who answered seemed shocked and promised to make this right. They came out and cleaned both bathrooms and the work was finally finished. It was sloppy, but it was done. So, why am I writing a review about 2 years later. Well, we just discovered that the work was worse than sloppy and urine soaked. The grout around the lowest line of tiles in the shower, where they meet the base, kept turning black. We tried mold killer. We tried resealing the grout line. The black kept coming back. Finally, we called a tile expert to see what the problem is. Turns out that Walker installed the wrong shower base. He put in on meant for a shower with three tile walls and a door, rather than two tile walls, a glass wall, and a door. This means that the glass wall wasn't long enough to reach down to the base like the door wall does. So, Walker stuck a wooden block under there to support the one corner and a strip of metal (which was covered on the outside by those tiles that had been cut by the saws-all, coincidentally) and didn't bother to adequately seal the 1+ inch gap between the bottom of the glass wall and the base. For two years, water has been splashing under there and seeping into the wall behind the tile. Mold is growing in the wall behind the tile. Black mold. We're going to have to pay a competent company to pull out this shower and tile and have it done right. Don't patronize Walker. If you MUST, just have him do basic plumbing work. Don't trust him or his subcontractors with more than that. read more

My drainage pipe (70+ year cast iron) fractured, and my entire morning routine spilled into my main floor and basement. Even though this happened on a Friday, no plumbers would return my call. I went though at least the top 5 plumbers on yelp using my zip code and I couldn't get a call back. Finally, on Saturday, after getting Service Master to begin the clean-up, I called Walker & Son. LaVida (?) actually answered my call, and scheduled me for Monday. She confirmed via text the day before, and day of when Shawn was on his way. Shawn was patient with all my questions, and worked well along the Service Master crew that was continuing the dry-out. I've been in this house for 8 years, with multiple plumbing issues. It's never been this easy to schedule and interact with the a plumber in my experience. I've found my new go-to. read more

I found Walker & Son's online. Ms. LaDavia answered the phone in a welcoming manner. After listening to my concerns, Ms. LaDavia handled my details with urgency, promptly scheduled Technician Shawn to come to my home, on the following afternoon, to address a leak in my submeter pipes. Ms. LaDavia was extremely kind, professional and personable. Shawn arrived promptly wearing a safety mask and was informative while providing excellent service displaying a very pleasant and professional attitude. I am pleased with my entire experience with Walker & Son's from start to finish and will now use them for ALL of my plumbing needs. Both Ms. LaDavia and Shawn are representing Walker & Son's and themselves excellently and I highly recommend Walker & Son's and look forward to using them again. read more

I needed a plumber for a tenant occupied property in the Hillcrest area of SE, DC. As you yelpers in SE and southern PG know, yelp gives you tons of results in nearby VA instead of those closer to you in DC & PGC. Most of those companies (even ones in DC & PG) exclude EoR SE & southern PG from their service area just like Yelp excludes those areas from search results. Without looking at their service map, I contacted a few companies in nearby DC & PG, assuming I was definitely in their service area. Much to my surprise, they didn't service my area. Even though they some were less then 10 miles away, they didn't service my area. They serviced SW, NW, northern PG, Montgomery, Arundel and most of VA but Hillcrest was a tad too far for them. I searched Waldorf and got results for companies much closer than my 20020 search. Walker was the first I called. I left a message and they called back a few minutes later. The next day the problem was fixed. They did a great job of communicating with me and the tenant. I'm writing this review less than 24 hours after my initial contact with them and I've already recommended them to friends. I have a few projects planned for my home and will definitely have them do the work. read more

Walker & Sons Plumbing are absolutely the best. They are professional, caring, and friendly. I would highly recommend to family and friends. Thank you LaDavia and Shawn. read more

I have used Walker & Son's plumbing x 2 at my home home to replace a hot water heater and then a new toilet. My experience from first contact thru the outstanding experience with plumbing professional Shawn (who is also the owner) completed the work along with his son (during the hot water heater install). I found Shawn to be not only professional, extremely on point with his professional skills, and polite. But, he also explained so well from a technical standpoint. Additionally, my first point of contact with the front office professional has always been a delight. She is very proficient, and offers great guidance when scheduling your service! When my elderly Aunt & her spouse had a plumbing emergency I quickly reached out to Walker & Sons and it was the same outstanding experience. I have advised my close friends & family to place Walker & Son's in their contact list so in case of a routine or emergency plumbing issue they are in Great hands. Thank you so much again Walker & Son's team know that my family appreciates how you conduct business! read more

Really loved the quick, flexible, courteous staff. They provided me a quick quote upfront for a leaky toilet and the wax ring reset. Had them come also for a last minute fill valve replacement as well. Definitely would recommend them. read more

Contacted them Sunday and was able to get Shawn over the next day. Great price, great service and didn't try to get over on me for price after they arrived to provide service. I will definitely be hiring them again for more work. read more

Found this company through Yelp. The woman I emailed with and spoke with on the phone, LaDavia, was wonderful, and Shawn showed up within the promised window to fix a toilet that was leaking water and sewer smells into our house. They did a Saturday call at no extra charge. Shawn did clean professional work, and even put covers on his shoes. I really appreciate that when he was done he took the time to walk me through what the problem was. Would call again! read more

Very reliable honest and a pleasure to work with. Answered my quick response to install a new toilet.

The sink and tub pipe adjustments for new faucets in my renovated bathroom were handled quite nicely by Shawn. He was very polite and professional. The work was completed on my schedule and LaDavia has been a great help keeping up with my schedule. read more

Good work for a good price, only reason for 4/5 stars is they were supposed to arrive between 7Am - 11AM, and they did not show up until 11:45AM. read more
