Best Businesses in Maryland

Let me put it this way. It's 8 PM last night with 50 degree weather and it's raining that kind of miserable pissing rain that soaks you down slowly but completely. The last thing I'd want to do is stand out in the road snaking a clogged sewer line that's spitting the vilest smelling black water I've ever encountered in my life in my face and blowing specks of human shit all over my head and shirt. This, however, is what Brian Emmel and his brother Matt from T&D Plumbing do for a living. They not only do it, but they do it graciously-- with the kind of professionalism and knowledge that makes you feel totally confident that you have just contracted honest and experienced techs who really know what they're doing. First, they come in and look over the situation like detectives on a murder scene, letting you know exactly what is the cause of the problem, and how they propose to do to correct it. Then they get to work with the best attitude I've ever seen from anyone that's about to dig elbows-deep into what we've all flushed down toilets and let flow freely down our sink and shower drains for years. They let you know the entire time what's going on and how it's progressing. Frankly, it's kind of like if Superman drove a white van and wore boots and Dickies uniforms instead of flying and wearing a mask and cape. I just felt all safe and like everything was gonna be fine standing there feeling admittedly slightly less masculine as these alpha-males dove in head first and solved my problems for me. This isn't the first time I have used T&D Plumbing, and they are my go-to service for all things water related. Their number hangs on the wall in my office and also on my refrigerator door. Their prices have always been extremely fair. These guys are polite, knowledgeable, and get the job done well. What else could you ask for? Don't even call anyone else-- I am not joking when I say that there is no reason to. I remain a very satisfied customer and am truly impressed by them over and over again.

I'm so very satisfied with this company; They came out did some much needed drain cleaning for me that didn't drain my pockets nor did I feel taken advantage of because I'm a female.

The gentlemen gave me 3 options and explained the process of each and we both came to a solution that was a solution to the problem I was having and about 30 minutes later delivered a drain sock for my washing machine .

Now I have a great Plummer and now Fantastic drain cleaner!!! All referred by Yelp.

Thank God

I don't panic anymore I read Yelp

Great work ethic, great attitude, and great skill. I hired Mr. Yates to replace a water heater and he was a pleasure to work with every step of the way. He got the old one out of a tight space and helped me select a new one that would fit. He is a perfectionist and will stay however long is needed to ensure the job gets done right. Stellar plumber!

Water was leaking from our toilet and it seemed to be gushing out of the wall behind the toilet. My husband turned off all the water in the house so we were really inconvenienced. He called this plumber on a Sunday afternoon. Someone answered promptly and scheduled an appointment for the next morning!
The plumber showed up on time as promised . He was very personable and respectful. He fixed our problem in less than an hour.
I was elated to be able to run water and flush toilets again.
My husband had been talking about cutting a hole in the wall to get to the pipes behind the toilet so needless to say theses guys were a lifesaver

Grateful they came on short notice. Masked and professional. Couldn't have asked for better service. I'll be calling them for all my plumbing needs.

Can't recommend Galaxy Plumbing enough. We've had them out to our a couple of times now and they're the only plumbing company I will use.

Great experience overall from the estimate to the planning, execution and cleanup.  They were always prompt, thorough, efficient, friendly and cleaned up daily during the mulit-day installation in a very tight space.  Highly recommend!!!

Tried to DIY repair my toilet and created a bigger issue.  Left Bill a message and he called me promptly in the AM.  Told him the issue and he gave me a call back with a quote in no time.  Was right on time and had new toilet installed and working in an hour.  Cost was exactly what I was quoted.

Carlos the Plumber was efficient, straight forward, and he did the job at a good price. It was so simple and as it should be that I forgot how sleazy and predatory the other plumbers have become.

It was as refreshing as meeting an honest politician in Washington D.C.

I didn't even want to give one star, but that's the only option. I was sent to Stilwell through AHS and because I am new to the area, I trusted AHS. Should've come here to read reviews first. Had issues with three things. I'm not sure how many times I had to go over this again and again with each different person that came out. Ended up some of the work was not covered. Fine, had to be fixed either way. WORST experience I've ever had with a contractor, and I'm out $1000 on my end after all of this!  This took over a month to resolve and multiple cancelled appts without my knowledge (NO COMMUNICATION)!  I was accused of badgering the staff by the manager when I attempted to find out when someone was going to come out to my house.  After 3 visits to my house it was something new and more money out of my pocket each time.  I felt like I was being taken advantage of and getting up-charged on every little thing.  In the end, the issues were not resolved and the work very poor. I finally threw my hands up trying to get someone to come out to fix the HORRIBLE mess they left my shower. Will just hire someone different to do the work. Please DO NOT USE THEM.

The actual address of this branch is 4219-A Hanover Pike, Manchester, MD 21102 where Artie Bell is in charge. They were to replace a old pipe in the front yard and first they cracked up and destroyed the sidewalk because they took no precaution and just drove the heavy machine straight up on the curb. Next, the dirt caved in around the pipe that was originally underground and unseen to now a pipe sticking up out of my front yard. In addition, after they completed the work they clogged the drain and wanted to charge me $250 to even look at it and has refused to resolve any of the issues. They really don't deserve any stars. Basically, they pretend to know anything about plumbing and they don't know anything at all. You will waste your money and in the end it will cost you more to have someone come and repair everything they do.

I contacted them to get a quote for a leaking outside faucet.  The guy arrived, looked at it and within 2-minutes time frame he stated that the o-ring was bad.  The service charge was $48.50 and he then went on to say it would be another $100 if I wanted him to replace the parts needed.  I took off the part and went to Home Depot and they sold me the whole replacement valve for under $5 and I did the job myself.  I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY.   RIP OFF
