I had a massive drain stoppage. I contacted a big box plumber cause they said they would be right out. I really appreciated that as I felt my problem was important. I had sewage all over my basement and needed help. The sent a letter to plumber who quoted me a Price to snake my main line and that price was over $900.00. Do not get taken by the big box places. I sent them away.

I then did my research and found All American. I cannot express enough the relief I got when they got to my home. They offered me a jet job to clear my drain line. It included a free camera and the statement that if there were problems that would cause additional problems in my pipe that they can fix them. For $700.00 they jetted my drain. That machine is impressive and it took 2 hours. They got my sewer to drain. Thank God. Then they videoed my sewer. It was broken and full of roots.  Much to my dismay.

They sent their sewer expert in and he did a re-video to determine what solutions could be done. I had two sections of roots in my drain and my house is 60 years old. The technician offered a pipeburst to replace my sewer approximately 45 feet long. I listened and received the cost. $9558.00. Which I thought was crazy. I thanked them and sent them on their way. They could not have been more professional.

I then called four other companies. Two of them were your super advertisers and two were normal plumbers. The big guys wanted 15k+. The other guys were close but were not nearly as professional.

I knew then that I had made the correct choice. I called All American back and scheduled the work. They did exactly what they said they would do. They even set expectations that I had not thought of. They sent me videos via email of the technology and the work plan. The job went flawlessly.

These guys are great.  Don't panic in a sewer emergency. I recommend All American. They will treat you as you expect.

I have had the privilege of doing business with White Plumbing Company on several occasions now.  First, during an emergency replacement of our water heater (which had, unfortunately, flooded our basement), and second to perform plumbing work/inspection for our new basement shower we recently added.  On both occasions, Greg White (owner) was absolutely wonderful to deal with.  He is personable and jovial and extremely professional.  If you are in need of a plumber, you need to call Greg.  My husband and I have recommended Greg to our neighbors, friends, family and other home improvement/contracting professionals due to how easy it was to work with him, and how responsive he is.  He is both respectful of your time and situation, and just a general pleasure to deal with.  Bookmark this page right now (or screenshot the contact info) and make your life easier.

David came to our home to discuss installation of a water filtration system for our kitchen. Instead of simply selling me what I asked about, he interviewed me about the load the system would handle and about skin/hair health and water use in general. We purchased a home water filtration system instead so that our laundry, cooking, and bathing have the benefit of high-quality water. This is important because we drink a lot of tea and coffee through our instant hot water system, and lots of plain water, so clean water and ice was important. We also cook 98% of the meals we cook so again, healthy water is key. Lastly, my husband and 85 year-old mother had skin sensitivities before the home water filtration system installation, but no longer.  And, I felt like the price--installation labor and materials--was fair. We've loved the system the two years we've had it. David recommended we set a calendar reminder for filter changing. The company is coming out soon to do that for us. Looking forward to having them and appreciate the enhanced quality of living David has provided with his expertise.

We had an emergency plumbing issue that happened to be a breaker/power issue but didn't know that when we called.  Zero came out within 15 minutes and figured it out immediately and even showed me what needed to be corrected with the power supply.  Reasonable charges as well.  Will call them first next time we need a plumber!

Total rip off.. he dont even do the job..he sends someone who does it whom have their own independent business.. miss quotes.. dents tech to the house not even giving the tech photos of the job prior to getting here.. The tech whom has his own business was very honest with the work being done and how much the job actually cost with overhead.. straight rip off.. but I thank you because i got a new contractor out of the situation.. the GUY who actually do the work.. plus he charge 99.00 for coming out to take pics and it's not going to the final bill.. lesson learned.. I wish I could give 0 stars... but I hired the actual contractor for future work.. so it's a win for me.. DONT USE THIS GUY.. HE IS NOT A CONTRACTOR..

Had a very positive experience with Cardinal today.  Called on a Saturday morning around 9 for an emergency job (toilet overflow/repair) and scheduling with the office was quick and efficient.  Nikolai was dispatched and arrived promptly by 1pm.  He provided a clear and comprehensive repair estimate which included more than one option.  He was friendly, polite, professional and COVID compliant.  The price in all honesty was a little higher than I would have imagined even on a weekend, but he replaced all the inner components of my Kohler toilet that were worn out after 7/8 years and also brought his wet vac to tackle the water overflow all over my bathroom floor.  His work was very through and I'm not expecting any issues with the repairs although they do offer a guaranty.  Will definitely recommend Cardinal to others requiring plumbing/HVAC services.  Thx Nikolai!

James is very fast with his service. I had my drainage clog from my washing machine lint. He snaked it, hydro jetted it . He gave me tips to use lint catcher to prevent it from happening. I really appreciated the work he did

Andrew installed a new chandelier in our foyer.  He was fast, efficient and did what seemingly 3 other contractors couldn't for a very fair and reasonable price.  I would highly recommend and we will definitely plan to call Andrew in the future.

I had a major Water problem in my home. The main Water pipe was leaking on Two sides. It had to had the Pressure Valve/Copper pipe replaced. I spoke to the owner last week on a Thursday to see if he could come out to check out my water pipe problem, I just wanted to also mention, I was dealing with another Plumbing company that I had a strong feeling since they were very unprofessional with their follow thru and leaving me waiting for Three days after they came out to see what the problem was. Elite Plumbing came out on Saturday to check out my problem and fixed it on Monday. He put me on his schedule even though they were extremely busy/booked for this day.
He came during the time he stated, fixed my problem, was extremely professional with his follow thru, and fixed it quickly.  I now have running water throughout my house and I am very happy.  

Thank you
S.Wilson

They did a good job
But they are So Pricey, i wouldn't hire them again.
I wouldn't recommend it.

I submitted an online scheduling request this morning for repair on two toilets.  The plumber was here and fixed both toilets in less than 2 hours for less than $150.  This was not a complicated job, but it was handled quickly and professionally by a very courteous technician.  I have additional plumbing projects that I need to complete and will not hesitate to call them back for service.

Our family is very satisfied and so glad that we found this company.
From the moment we first communicated with them they were very friendly and assuring and at the time they were very professional.
We had terrible experiences from previous contractor. And wasted tons of money with very disappointing service and work outcome.  We spoke with Eddie and also his wife few times before we actually signed the contract and they were very detailed and friendly in consulting the work. They scheduled to start of the job and that day it was raining and we automatically figured the job was gonna get postponed. But to our surprise they came as promised regardless of bad weather and did a very professional clean job. We dealt with other plumbers before but hands down these guys were the best. After searching with other plumbers in the area the price was also the best. I would recommend this company to anybody that needs plumbing service. Btw, the work performed in our house was replacing the entire water line coming in from the curve. Thank you Tim, Eddie, Joseph and wife for great service and great experience.

About 2 weeks ago, after my 15 yr old garbage disposal died, I reached out to DC Plumber / 4Fast Plumber, and owner Mike Orehowsky came out to replace it.

But a few days after that, my sink started backing up. I then had to go away for a week, so plumber Josh Harvey returned to fix this new issue today. (I live in a condo building in downtown DC that has recently had a lot of bad kitchen sewer issues, so it was only a matter of time that the issue happened to me.)

First off, Josh discovered horrible initial installation of the kitchen pipes... calling it sheer negligence and laziness.

Basically, the pipe coming out of the wall that leads to the sewer should have had a proper threaded connection on it. Instead, it was a raw pipe that was not properly sealed shut. The plumber said it was a major water leak intrusion waiting to happen!

Josh told me today that he's 43 yrs old and has been plumbing since he was 14, and had never seen such laziness in an initial install. It never should have been signed off on by the Faison contractor/builder of my building.

So long story short. These guys know their stuff. I highly recommend them.

I have since used Star Plumbing two more times and am happy with the work. The next time was to replace a water heater and run a water line to our fridge at our rental property. The price was exactly what they told me over the phone and my tenants were pleased with their professionalism.

The last time was to look at a leaking disposal at our rental. They replaced it quickly and again the price was right. They are my go to plumbers.

Shawn is a pleasure to deal with.  He knows his stuff, he's responsive and accommodating, has a solid set of principles, and he's a nice guy to boot!  In this day and age, it's a relief to find someone trustworty. I will be calling him again for future plumbing issues.

Our son's hot water tank started leaking, so we searched the web for quick assistance to fix the problem. Elite worked quickly to help us resolve the issue. They were fast, efficient, and did excellent work. Highly recommend them. Bonus-they are a local business. Always want to work with solid professionals in our community.
Thanks to them for their excellent service!

He told one day he didn't know how to install a tankless water heater, then several days later told me its was very easy!?!  I am a big believer that people should just be honest about what they can do and not do.  He knocked a big hole in my brick work and then told me he doesn't do brick repairs thats not his job.  Always came to the job site very negative as well and always  talked down on the other trades people.

I had a small pinhole leak in a supply line going to a shower. The real plummer applied some solder, and without checking to see if the problem had been fixed,  (by simply turning on the water) abruptly packed up his tools and headed out. He didn't care enough to see if it was still leaking. After running the water for less than 4 minutes, the leak reappeared before the repairman left, as he did not completely cover the hole. He reluctantly said he would give it another shot, and ended up fixing the problem. The guy was so eager to get my money, it was obvious that he didn't care about the workmanship. Very shady company in my opinion. I will never hire them again.

This group is amazing . I highly recommend them. They changed my garage disposal , fixed my toilet and downspout in record time and the bill was reasonable.Im now using them at work, Excellent job Spardo!!!!!!!!!!!!
