Best Sump Pump Installation in Washington DC

After the owner called me, he is going out of his way to remedy my issue. Super happy with the extra effort from this company!

We had just moved into our new house and noticed that the expansion tank on the water heater was solely being supported by the PVC pipe connected to it and flimsy plastic strap attached to the exposed trusses of the house. I had These guys take a look and as I suspected, it wasn't sustainable or a good idea to leave it this way. We also wanted a new toilet and shower head installed in the master bath so we scheduled to have them come and address each of these items. We tried to schedule it with a furniture delivery to kill two birds with one stone as far as being home on a weekday since we both work. Staton plumbing was very accommodating and moved some things around to make that happen. Two days after scheduling, the furniture delivery was changed and I was worried that we wouldn't be able to reschedule with Staton giving that they had already moved things around. To my surprise they did reschedule within the window convenient to us, which was a breath of fresh air as far as contractors go to say the least. Above and beyond in my opinion.

Josh and Matt showed up promptly on time and with a very professional appearance and demeanor. They got directly to work, starting with the toilet. We have a 3 story town house and they were especially careful carrying the toilet up and bringing the old one down. It was literally removed and installed faster than I ever imagined possible. They then rapidly installed the shower head and in the process secured it. I should mention that the old shower head kind of floated around against the wall, not secured very well. No more, they installed the new shower head and fixed this problem as well. On to the water heater, and once again completed in a much shorter time span than I could have ever expected. When finished the expansion tank was now beyond secure and all PVC was replaced with copper, which also made me feel better.

This was all completed in an hour and a half. We never even noticed the water to the house had been valved off. They left literally no trace that they had been there besides the new fixtures and a setup at my water heater that I feel much more confident in the quality of. Not a crumb on our carpets, drop of water or trash in the room with the water heater, nothing. All of this for a price that was beyond reasonable in my opinion. Compared to other companies that quoted me, it was slightly less, but given their professionalism, accommodations to our needs, efficiency, and the quality of the workmanship, I would have happily paid more. I'm not just saying that, so hard to find a good reliable plumber or any trade for that matter. Highly recommend them and will be using them for any of our plumbing needs in the future.

Plum Professional, indeed! I scheduled service through Yelp, which was VERY convenient. Leo got back to me quickly and we were able to schedule service for the next day. Most places give you a 4 hour window, but Plumb gave us an appointment time. So, that was much appreciated.

Michael arrived 10 minutes early before our scheduled appointment. He was very professional and thorough. He fixed our problem easily and quickly. The price was fair and the whole thing took less than an hour.

We will definitely use Plumb again.

Great service! Our garbage disposal broke, & we needed a new one installed ASAP! I messaged DryMount Air at 4:30pm on Labor Day & they arrived SAME DAY! Definitely would recommend!

Quick and accommodating. Recognized issues and new how to resolve them. Great value.

Mr. Carlton was superb! We reached out to Exceptional Plumber when we felt we were being ripped off by a national brand company known world -wide and for the sake of not being sued in this sue happy country of ours, I will not mention their name, yet I wish I could. The company name being with a L and end with the Plumber. Exceptional Plumber came and did the job for far less than the plumber we called, wanted for to do the job. The other company wanted almost one thousand dollars and then wanted to sell us a new toilet. Way to do business. Not Exceptional Plumber. Mr. Carlton told us what the price would be up front and did an exceptional job to the point that when he was finish, we were surprised it did not take long and the toilet is running like new. We are about to bring them back to do another job in our other bathroom. Thank You Exceptional Plumber for placing consumer confidence back in the plumbing business.

Carlos Reed came out for the spring HVAC tune-up.  He came on time, did a thorough and efficient inspection, communicated well throughout the process, including setting the expectations.  He quickly identified and described the issue, as well as noted what prior maintenance had likely been done and explained why that was a temporary and inefficient solution.
He presented the options to fix the issue in detail and the pros and cons of each.  I appreciated his professionalism and thoughtful recommendations.

These guys are amazing! The plumber came on time, wearing a mask as they mentioned he would. Replaced my sump pump, cleaned the bottom of the sump pump well and tested the second dump pump. Then he installed a new kitchen faucet. He was very quick and the cost was quite affordable. JF Plumbing is now on our list for awesome plumbers!!!!

The service response was quick, but the cost for repairs is extremely expensive!  

We had the technician come out to fix two valves (kitchen sink and bathroom sink) that were leaking and unclog a toilet.  He took more time on the tablet to see how much we were going to have to pay to fix the repairs then the actual work completed!  Note: this included the time for an estimate for potential other work that we may want to accomplish in the future, but overall the time spent on the tablet was overboard!

When the repairman left, the toilet was still clogged and suggested after we spent over $600 for the total repairs (over $200 was to NOT unclog the toilet) that we should spend additional $1,000 + to replace the toilet AND still couldn't guarantee that the problem could be solved!

We contacted the manager David B to see how we may be able to proceed and he was extremely rude (emails to view if interested)!  

Don't waste your time and hard-earned $ on DB's Plumbing and drain, I would seriously suggest to use another plumber in the area.  VERY disappointed in this company!

I had the misfortune of discovering a leak in my basement coming from the water supply at the box outside my house.  I called 3 local companies and all 3 were very prompt and 2 of the 3 were within $200 of each other - but since this was a pricey job, I went with the lowest bid from Mr. Heil.  The crew arrived the next day exactly when they said they would and then set up the site and the inside of my house to protect my lawn and my floors.  All 3 guys on the crew were courteous, knowledgeable and so patient with what turned out to be a crummy job: digging a deeper-than-expected hole in my yard - by hand - in a cold rain (Feb 8, 2013).  Never a gripe from one of them and when they finished, they cleaned up so that you'd never know they were here. I'm so impressed and would recommend them to anyone.  I've worked in/around the construction field for more than 20 years - and this crew was fabulous.  Everything runs like a clock now.  Thanks, Mr. Heil!

Responsive and clear communication, professional service, competitive pricing. They installed 2 new toilets, removed the old ones removed, fixed a gasket on my dryer, and adjusted the tub drain.  Great experience and highly recommend.

This a business that I would highly recommend.  I have used this business for several of my plumbing needs.  The response time was remarkable.  When they showed up, they were prompt, knowledge and gave real time estimates for the completion of the work.  Having contractors show up with a positive attitude and a willingness to complete a job with leaving no question unanswered is very important to me.  I have always been satisfied with the work completed.  Finding a reliable company to complete jobs can be difficult but when you find one, you treat it as gold, and DJ's pluming is that company that a value :o)  You won't be disappointed.

Called C&C as a representative for a roof leak I was having.  After looking at the issue, they suggested I call the insurance (which, TBH, I had not even considered) to try and save some money... low and behold, insurance came through with half an entire roof fix!!! C&C completed the work in a timely manner at an unbeatable price with quality work.  Since then, I've also used C&C for several other handyman issues around the house, including:
- Plumbing Consultation
- Electrical Consultation/Completion
- Construction debris removal
- Ceiling Repair work

I would truly use these guys for any work around the house that needed to be done!

We needed our garbage disposal replaced. Mathew responded quickly and was willing to work with us on the price! Out of the five local companies we quoted his price was the best! He kept us apprised on his arrival time and finished the job quickly and professionally. We will definitely be using him for all future jobs!!!!

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!

I received an email from Yelp indicating Drain Works served the Olney area and they were having a special on gas fireplaces/stoves shown as follows:
               Drain Works Olney, MD and nearby areas
                Gas fireplace safety and performance inspection.
I browsed Drain Works and found out they were located in Laurel, MD and there service area included Montgomery County.
I called Drain Works to set up an appointment to have my Vermont Castings gas, vent free, Franklin fireplace inspected and after a lengthy conversation with a representative I was told my location was out of their service area.
My call was a complete waste of time and Yelp as well as Drain Works were misleading in their representation that Drain Works serves Olney, Maryland.
Hopefully the service area of Drain Works will be corrected in their advertising as well as Yelp's data base to avoid future customers in the Olney, MD area wasting their time.

These guys are a great company to work with.  Period.  You'll be in good hands if you work with them.  Hands-on President who is very mindful of the 125 year reputation of the business.   There's a reason why they've lasted as long as they have, and it's not because of poor customer service.

I've read some of the complaints in the negative reviews, and many seem unwarranted.

1.  Complaints that they charge by the job not by the hour.   This is a good thing for everyone.  Pricing is straightforward to the customer, and the the company is never accused of milking the clock.  The

2.  Complaints about the site visit fee.  Again... pricing is upfront... no mystery, and you get what you pay for.  It costs money to get a licensed professional to show up to your door and diagnose a problem.  We do the same thing for doctors, auto mechanics ...  You can't expect a professional to drive to your door, diagnose a problem for you, then allow you to call up a bunch of competitors with a diagnosis from a professional in hand.

Accidentally hired them for $49 AC inspection. Not recommend this $49 service because it only inspection not includes any other mainteuance service.  Snell Heating & Cooling may be performed better service if I paid them with more $$(?). Anyway, I was not happy...:( and not sure what the tech recommended me to change the whole HVAC/Heating unit. It costs me between $10k and $18K. So I hired  another HVAC tech (from RES Cooling & Heating) next day and pay $99 for complete maintenance & repair includes HVAC inspection. Excellent service from RES. The HVAC unit is now in good condition and do not need spend $10K.

And another tech from RES took care of my HVAC/Heating unit and recommended optional service before summer (only cost me $180).

Fantastic small business.  My mom found this company online and after a little research, I decided to try them out.  I was not dissatisfied at all.  Remedied my situation, made sure they cleaned up after themselves, gave me some feedback one what I should od next and there was no price gouging.  Melissa was fantastic and her Husband, Kirk and son did fantastic work.  I will recommend them to everyone I know.  And if any future problems arise, I will be sure to call them first!

For decades, my grandfather has rectified numerous home improvements in our DC rowhouse including painting, upholstery, kitchen and basement renovations, landscaping as well as plumbing and other repairs. Despite his advanced age, he has been insistent to try and continue making these repairs but many are now beyond his capabilities. When we needed a washer replaced on the kitchen sink faucet, it seemed like an easy task. Unfortunately it did not go smoothly and required intervention. I contacted our regular plumber first but they were unavailable for nearly a week! I researched several companies and decided to call Champion. I spoke with Gus and felt very much at ease. He was willing to send a technician the same day! I opted to wait until the following day and I'm glad I did...a pinhole leak opened up in a pipe in our basement bathroom later that evening! Jason arrived the next morning and made all the repairs. However, it turns out I also needed to replace the kitchen faucet - it was installed in 1985! I purchased a new Delta faucet and contacted Champion for the install. Once again, Jason arrived and quickly completed the job.
I now have Champion Plumbing on speed dial. OUTSTANDING WORK & RESPONSE TIME!!
