Best Plumbing Inspection in Washington DC

Please be careful if you decide to use this company.  I had a horrible experience.  I used them to put in a heating system which cost me $5000.00.  Two technicians showed up.  My basement was full of boxes because I had just recently moved back to the U.S.  Some had been opened and some had not.  I stayed around most of the time but when one technician needed to go up stairs to work on the thermostat I went with him and the other was no where in sight. When I returned to be briefed on the completed system, I noticed boxes and other items had been moved around.  Reluctant to accuse them of stealing, I let it go and said nothing.  As it turned out they stole boxes of household items which included African bronze statues, polish pottery serving dishes, memorabilia, Waterford glasses, expensive pots and pans, etc., that I had accumulated over 20 years traveling with the U.S. Government. When I got around to calling JF Plumbing about it, the company representative was very, very rude.  I took my time calling because I felt they would not be supportive and I was right, he displayed poor customer service, attacking me and saying that their technicians would not do such a thing.  As it turns out, the person who recommended JF Plumbing apologized to me for recommending JF Plumbing because the same technicians that put in my heating system ripped her off as well.  I would not recommend this company for the reasons listed above. The technicians stole items valued over $3,000 dollars ....a big tip!

Isaac Guevara is a terrific plumber. He installed a new hot water heater for us. He does the work himself, did a great job, everything to code, good quality work, cleaned up, and at a reasonable cost.

None of the usual rigamarole of plumbers; instead Isaac is honest, has over a decade of plumbing and contracting experience, and does a great job at a reasonable price.

Highly recommend!

Received four quotes for three major home projects: A complete master bathroom remodel, a new deck, and replacement of a drop ceiling with sheetrock and repair of a water-damaged wall in a guest bedroom.
The first three quotes were from high end remodelers. A friend recommended Allen Geoffrey's Handyman Services to us (she had just had her bathroom remodeled). Geoff and his crew (Mark and Brian) came out to survey the jobs. They spent more time with me going over what work we wanted and what our major concerns were. They suggested a comprehensive plan of attack from top to bottom. We were consulted at every step of each of the projects to ensure that our expectations and design elements were incorporated.
Their price quote came in thousands (yes, thousands) of dollars less than the three previous quotes. While they don't provide the design assistance of the high end contractors, they met us at a big box contractor store and helped us color-coordinate our design interests. They took care of ordering all the various pieces parts needed and got us a significant discount on materials.
First, they replaced the deck to install flashing (that the previous home owner neglected to do), that led to the water damage in the guest bedroom. The deck was brought up to code and revealed serious problems with the previous deck installation.
After the deck was done, the crew split off into two teams, one working on the master bathroom, the other, working on the guest bedroom.
The crew took care of hauling off all old materials and cleaned up after each day. The work was first-rate.
As with any major home project, unexpected/unforeseen problems arise. While removing the water-damaged sheetrock in the guest bedroom, major water damage was discovered to the exterior wall. Geoff gave me a very reasonable labor estimate to repair the wall. That wall is now the strongest in the house.
They show up when expected, every day, until the job is done.  They go beyond what is expected to ensure that the client is happy with the direction the project is headed.
I highly recommend these master plumbers. I guess my highest endorsement is that, when our kitchen cabinets come in, Geoff and his crew will be doing our complete kitchen remodel (again, coming in thousands of dollars less than the high-end contractors). If you need any work done to your home, give them a call. They will not disappoint you.
And, Geoff, Mark, & Brian, our new master bathroom looks and functions beyond our expectations. Thank you!

We needed to have the bath tub discharge pipe unclogged with the snake. They came in 2 days. Did the job cleverly and cleanly. Good service

Cannot say enough great things about Mahon. They helped us navigate an issue that came up during the home inspection of a house we were purchasing. Mahon went above and beyond in negotiating the issue with the sellers. They ultimately replaced our sewer line and did a truly professional job. Highly recommend.

Guy came, looked at the leak underneath our bathroom and tightened the tub spud. Water was still leaking, and I had to diagnose the issue myself. Had to call out another plumber.  Syd came recommended. May be good for other stuff, but didn't even help figure out what the issue was.

Greg from Quality Sewer and Drain does great work!  Helped us out in an emergency situation and we have continued to use them since. No regrets!  I highly recommend!

Jack is the absolute best. If you're like me, you don't know much about plumbing but as I was describing my problem to Jack over the phone, he seemed to know the problem. I even already hired other plumbers to come in to try and snake my drain and they left with the issue unresolved. Jack started to ask very direct questions with how they were operating, equipment they used, etc. that gave me the level of confidence to hire him.

He came in at the stated time, didn't give me any lip service when I asked him to take his shoes off or wear shoe covers, toured the basement to get a feel for the pipe work, laid out a blanket, and got to work. He explained to me his process, going to/from the car to get appropriate equipment, explaining his equipment, why he was doing things. Within an hour, he was able to rectify the problem, teach me a few things, and he left my home in a cleaner condition than the previous plumbers.

Hard to give 5 star when it cost so much to repair a sewage line. We've known for some time that we needed to repair our main line and it would be costly. These guy came recommended from two sources. Out of 5 companies to look at our project, they were the cheapest by about $3K. They had to dig 12'-15' to our sewage line, but the gas line laid right above it. So they had to use caution. We also had a lot of vegetation above where the pipe was and were fearful that we would love most of it.

The job took 3 days, the ground was harder than they expected, and had to wait for the county to approve the work. The crew was professional, and polite, not only to us, but our neighbors as well. (we live in a townhouse). They answered all of our questions, as they went along. When they were finished, our yard looked almost back to normal. We lost a few plans, but that was expected.

Hopefully we never need this type of service again, but glad we went with this company over the 4 previous companies that looked into it. They also provided a free estimate and none of that usual BS of. It will cost $400 to look at it, but if you go with our service, we'll refund that money.

Called hoping to get someone out in the next week or so. They shocked me by saying someone could be to my house in 30 minutes! Sam and Eli were thorough, professional, friendly, and totally cleaned up after the project. They also alerted me to an issue the county may need to address. I wasn't sure what the problem was but they narrowed it to the pressure regulator for the house and were able to do a same day repair. Carson will probably be my go-to plumbing company now!

Excellent service and professionalism!  I needed my rooftop AC inspected and then replaced.  Allied came out on very short notice, arrived on time both days, brought all the tools they needed (this had been a problem with other companies), assessed the problem, explained them so I understood and was willing to discuss options with me.  The pricing was extremely competitive and the work was done quickly and competently.  I will be using Allied for all my future needs.

I found Roy on a freezing cold night when I turned on a water faucet and no water came out. I thought the pipes were freezing, and I called my former plumbing company and got no response at all. I found Service Force online and Roy allayed my fears (not the emergency I thought) and came next day and fixed the problem. Service Force immediately became my go-to plumber. Since then, Roy has installed a new toilet and Japanese wash-let (a great and much less expensive alternative to the bidet I had thought about having installed). He just left today after relighting the pilot light on my water heater--which I was afraid to do myself. His prices are very reasonable and his work superb. Best bonus of all, he cares about both his work and his customers.

Kirk is the best! I have called on him for the past 10 years. He has worked on my old home and replaced and repaired all the plumbing needs. He is honest, has fair prices, and completes the job correctly!

So I cannot say enough about Ryan of Elite Plumbing.  First off, of the 20 plumbers we called late at night that claim to be 24/7, he's the only one that actually was.  He's the only one that returned our call at 11:00 pm AND offered to come out at that time to assist.  I actually told him no and we could wait until morning and there he was when the sun came up!  Efficient, courteous and a local guy building a very customer focused and honest business.  I've told everyone I know about him today.  I cannot recommend Ryan enough and am so happy that quite by accident I stumbled across my plumber from here on out.  Do yourself a favor and support this local young man.  It's a win-win, believe me.

I recently hired Lee and his team to replace my bathroom vanity, remove our old medicine cabinet, and install a new mirror. When I first reached out on Yelp, he was extremely responsive and very upfront about the cost and all of my options. When they began the work, we quickly found out the old owners of the house cut corners in a few places and there was more work to be done than we thought. Lee quickly came up with a plan and there was no delay in any of our services! The prices were very reasonable and competitive for the area and we are so happy with the work that was done! We definitely plan to use them again in the future for other needs!

Took the day off work to get an estimate for a big job.  Not only did they not show up for the original scheduled appointment,  but they didn't show up when they rescheduled for later the same day.  It's not a major weather event,  they have no excuse for this sort of rude behavior.  Will never use them again.

Received an estimate for repairing and replacing outside drain by breaking concrete and repairing pipe up to 5ft into the home as needed. Estimate also including back-filling with concrete up to the previous level. I authorized the ESTIMATE OF SERVICE and the credit card was charged by the vendor 3 days before the work was scheduled and almost a full week before it was actually performed due to rain. After contacting vendor 2 days after the rains to obtain a schedule for the repair, I was advised that it would be the next day but the time estimate didn't seem certain. After having someone wait all day for the service, I advised the vendor that if repair wasn't performed by the rescheduled date, a new plumber would be contacted.  

The work was done on the rescheduled date after 5pm.  The actual repair required only replacing outside drain and 6-12 inches of pipe. SIGNIFICANTLY less work than estimated.  When I inquired as to a discount for the service that was performed, I was advised that there are no discounts because the scope of work was with the anticipation of having to go further.  I advised the vendor that the auto repairman doesn't charge me for what he could have done when the work turns out to be something different, and that I was disappointed, but learned a lesson.   To that I received no response.  Had I been there to monitor the work, I would have asked about revising the estimate and had I known there would be no change in the amount, I would have had them dig out and replace the full 5 feet of pipe to get my money's worth.

I advised the person who recommended this vendor that I was disappointed and would never use or recommend them for future work. She indicated that she had never received a negative response from any recommendation and I told her that I guess someone had to be the 1st.

The shame is that had the work been more than estimated, you can guarantee the vendor would have required additional payment. But since the service was less, I as the customer, am SOL. Sadly, not even the 10% discount from the vendors website was offered as a concession.

I would love to retain business cards and request or recommend repeat business by the service providers I've used, but after having dealt with 5 contractors in 5 years. I have yet to find 1 who doesn't do sloppy work or sloppy business.

This is my review. Take it for what it's worth.

Best plumbers in DC.  I called them after the flooding rains this weekend due to an outside drain back up and was flooding my unit.  They had Melvin (super nice) out with a snake in 2 hours and saved me thousands in damages.  Lastly, the bill was very fair... a few hundred bucks for emergency service on a weekend.  Thanks guys.
