Best Drain Installation in Baltimore MD

Great quick service even during weekends. A technician was really professional and friendly.

Took a little longer than expected to complete the job and he charged more, but it got done and Mike is a nice and respectful guy who kept me informed along the way.  I would use him again!

I had a plumbing emergency and this company literally saved the day. Justin was beyond professional and courteous. They were in and out in matter of hours and most of all the pricing was reasonable. I would highly recommend this Plummer for any and all of your plumbing needs.

Sprio at Empire saved us this weekend. Our water heater went out on us and other services couldn't find a unit that would fix where the existing one was located. Spiro found a new unit that would fit, got it fast and installed it for us on a Saturday. Having hot water through the weekend in the middle of winter was a lifesaver. Thanks Spiro!

Very professional and efficient! 10/10 recommend. Prices are fair and reasonable. Great work!

The only plumber I use. I have had Vernon to my house about 7 times for leaky pipes, various installations, etc. Every time I have called, he has come out the same day, even if it is after regular hours. I couldn't be more satisfied with the results and speedy service. Each time I call, I become more comfortable and confident knowing my problem will be professionally resolved.

Had to call Chesapeake Plumbing because I had an issue with a different company that had previously come out to look at my problem with toilet leaking down into basement and created mold. Chesapeake plumbing came out same day that I called, were extremely friendly, found out that there was a much bigger issue than we originally thought (and I was so glad because I would have right back in the same boat if not) and they fixed the problem and were on their way. I was so impressed by how courteous and prompt they were. Even calling me to tell me they were on the way to the house.
I would definitely use them again.

I hired AAB Drain Cleaning / Allen to unclog a bathtub drain after Drano failed and one of those plastic drain cleaners broke in two.

Short version: If you live near the business and are able to schedule in the morning, or you need to go with the least expensive option, go with AAB. Otherwise, you might want to stay away.

Long version:
The good:
- The price was great. Another company I talked to wanted more than TWICE what I ended up paying Allen after his discount.
- Allen was very clean. He took his shoes off before coming in (without my asking to) and did a fantastic job cleaning the tub afterwards, which is impressive considering all the filth he got out.
- He did a great job unclogging it. It's been about a week since he came and the drain is still completely unclogged. It's even better than when I moved in.

So why did I deduct two stars?
- Scheduling was a nightmare! This is the main reason. He didn't even actually come until the third time I made an appointment with him (and he was still really late).
- The first time he was supposed to come at 4:00 PM on a Thursday. I confirmed the time with a couple times. He said it might actually be within a 4:00 - 7:00 time window. At ~4:40 he lets me know he's running a little late, which is ok. Ultimately I call him at 7:20 and he asks if I can reschedule for the next day. We reschedule for 6:30.
- At ~6:35 the next day I message him just to confirm that we're still on. He responds at ~8:05 saying he'll take off $50 if he can come between 8:00 and 9:00 AM the next morning. I honestly wanted to cancel since that was the second time he'd blown me off, but $50 off is a lot and it was already a great price.
- At ~7:50 AM the next day (I figure since he's coming at 8:00 it's not too early to contact him) I send him a message to confirm again and he says he's on his way. I ask for an ETA and he says about lunch time. So much for 8:00 - 9:00 AM. At about 10:45 he says he's on 495. Coming from Maryland it shouldn't take more than 45 minutes to get to my place once you're on 495 (I live in Tyson's Corner). An hour and 15 minutes later I message him and says he's finishing a job at an address that I *think* was in DC. So he decided to serve someone else first instead of sticking to the agreed upon time, which he himself proposed.
- He finally arrived at my place at ~12:50 and once he actually got here did a great job.
- His machine broke twice while he was doing the job and fixing it probably doubled the length of the visit. Not a biggie, though, since it was still probably done in less than an hour.
- He offered me $50 off when he canceled the second time, but only did $25 off when I reminded him of the original price. It was still cheap, but he really should've just told me $25 in the first place.

In all fairness I do live kind of far from him (about an hour drive) and the appointment times were a little late in the day. But if he had just said Hey, you live kind of far away, can we do it earlier in the day? it could've saved me the frustration of missing some work time and friday evening plans with friends for nothing.

Overpriced with very poor communication on site and via phone. Definitely NOT a professional or customer service oriented company.  No estimate was given during the job, the tech tried the same patch job I did that doesn't work and wanted triple the cost to replace the pipe and take out part of our basement ceiling. We talked to a manager for a partial refund as the outdoor spigot still leaks and the manager NEVER put in for the refund. Now, a week later, I have to ask again for the partial refund.  Catons Plumbing is NOT a company we will ever recommend.

I usually don't write reviews, but I have never experienced worse customer service in my life. Stilwell Plumbing was assigned by my home warranty company for a pipe leak. I contacted them immediately since the leak is causing my water meter to continue ticking up. The receptionist said my work order wasn't in so she would call me back. Next day, no call. I called again and she again said it wasn't in and would call me back. Days went by with no call. I reached back out to my warranty company and they said she would be calling me...still no call. Finally after calling multiple times a visit was scheduled. The plumber was extremely nice, but said he would call me the next day with an estimate. Guess what!? Nobody called! So I called them again and the same receptionist said she would call me back with the estimate because that plumber was off...that was four days ago and I have still not received a call. I can't believe this place is still in business with how they treat their customers.

Made two attempts to contact this company for work and have been ignored both times. Left a message with the company via an employee and answering machine. Never heard anything back.

Had him come to pull a permit for a gas  pressure test (inspection) and paid $350 for that.He came ,did a preliminary test and found the line was leaking,quoted me $3250 to do the repair of the gas line.I had it fixed for $500 using someone else.He then refused to pull the permit for the inspection and also refused to return my money so I disputed the charge with my cc and also placed a complaint with the MD board of plumbing.

Seems like a shabby individual to do business with ,try to avoid and use a real decent professional if you care about your money.

This company is a big scam. I should not have trusted Jeffrey Muncey and the owner. I paid for a project that was not completed.

Jeff  Muncey locked my property and ran away with the keys without completing the project. I had to buy a new lock and pay a locksmith for a new installation.  I paid upfront $750 to Valley View Handyman Services for nothing. They are not responding to phone calls or texts. This was a total nightmare but I'll make sure that justice will be served.

I have more details but hope this summary warns others so they can avoid similar cons.
