Best Sump Pump Installation in Washington DC

We had a great experience with Reddick & Sons.  We had an issue with our water pump and another plumber reviewed the issue for 5 minutes and without doing anything just said we need to replace the pump.  In seeking a second opinion, we reached out to Reddick & Sons.  The tech (M. Glick) was on time, very professional and took the time to run diagnostics on the tank.  He was able to fix the problem without replacing the entire tank saving us almost $1,000.  Plus he didn't have the part and was able to call a colleague to bring the missing part and fix the issue the same day.  It's no wonder their reviews are all 5 stars.  They will certainly be my go to plumber in the future.

Our air conditioning stopped working suddenly and we had company coming for the holiday. They were able to get us in right away. The technician was very professional and knowledgeable on fixing our system and I didn't feel pressured to replace the system. They actually fixed the problem!!!!! Would definitely use them again.

Service from this company was excellent. The customer service agent was knowledgeable enough to understand the problem I was having so that he could send out the right plumber to the job. The plumber (Michael) contacted me en route to ask a few questions and give me an ETA. He was right on time, very personable, and perfectly professional. During the diagnosis, he asked a lot of smart questions, listened well, and assessed what the root cause of our dishwasher backflow issue could be. Most importantly, I did not feel patronized at any point in our conversation.

Michael checked the whole drainage system that has been getting clogged, made a proper adjustment, and tested the drain both before and afterwards. He was forthcoming about where his expertise resides and did  not try to play the role of an expert dishwasher technician.

At the conclusion, we discussed pros and cons of alternatives (next steps) if raising the high loop did not resolve our issue: primarily further investigation with certified dishwasher technician vs. replacing the high loop with a siphon valve.

I found Drymount Air via a request in Yelp to replace my garbage disposal. The price was reasonable, they showed up in the 2 hour window scheduled, and completed the job in 30 minutes. I highly recommend them!

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

Muhammad got back to me quickly with a quote and promptly scheduled the time to replace a bathtub and shower faucet. His price was really reasonable and he did a fantastic job. Muhammad is the first person I will call if i have any plumbing issues in the future.

Sila is great!! Always prompt and fast! I know they don't like to do maintenance tune ups over the weekend and since I was off on Monday I called same day to see if anyone was available and they said someone would come 2-5. The office called me and said the tech was finished early and if they can come earlier...great! The tech was very professional, kind, and honest. Not like other companies that try to make you buy little things here and there. I have been using this company for about 2 years and they have always met my standards.

We urgently needed our garbage disposal replaced. They bought it, removed the broken one and replaced it with the new one. The worker put down a tarp and kept everything very clean and dry. The price was fair for what they did.

After reading the bad reviews and not letting the positive ones cloud my judgment, I do think the cost/quotes at this company is a bit suspect. Seems like the main concern, based on the few negative comments, is the cost of service. I felt the same way regarding pricing. I knew I overpaid because Ive had the work done before by a another well known company and their price wasnt as high. Other than the price, I do think they know what they are doing and are very professional when they are doing the work. The tech was nice and helpful. Overall, I would say if you are desparate to get the work done fast and done right and you dont mind paying the extra money, even if you can through another reputable company, this place should be ok. But definitely get more than one quote if you can if you have time to do it.

As always Heil Plumbing did a wonderful job!  Eric arrived on time & installed shower diverter for our recently sold apartment.  He was friendly, polite and completed the job efficiently in a short time.  
I recommend Heil Plumbing to all my friends, family & neighbors.  Will definitely call on them again when the need arises!
Thank you for your many trips to our apartment, Brandon and Eric, helping us with the remodel/repairs to sell the property!

Donzelle responded quickly to my need and performed quality work! I was in a bind after selling my condo and needed emergent repairs to my kitchen and laundry room. We scheduled my repairs (leaking drain and supply lines) within a day's notice and he got the job done! He was transparent and honest in his assessment, helped me with the billing as much as he could, and gave very fair value. Everything was documented in the invoice and text. Highly recommend his services! Thanks again Donzelle.

Extraordinary plumber, very honest and reasonable. Highly recommended.

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!

----------------------------------------------------
Update: 5/15/20 It was just confirmed by another plumber that Opata plumbers were 100% correct in locating the leak. This saved us over $1500. and now even better my homeowners assoc. is fully responsible for the repairs in my home....

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!

Had not used gas fireplace in over 2 yrs (shut off completely) Went to ignite it, would not lite.  I had read other positive reviews, so gave Drain Works a try and glad we did.   From start to finish everything was very professionally handled. Prompt reply to email to set up service for the very next day. Their office hours state till 4 pm, but I don't get home till 4, but they accommodated me and Sandy was here at 4pm.  Wore a mask and slippers.  Found the issue, explained it to me and fixed it.    Was a pleasure doing business with this company.

Pros: Fast Response Time; Professional

Con: VERY expensive

So I am a bit torn on this review.  They were incredibly responsive and were able to send someone to our unit ASAP.  The technician was knowledgeable and very nice.  He recommended that we had to replace the hot water heater.  Unfortunately they price they quoted was DOUBLE (more than $1000 over my other quote) than other quotes I received (for the exact same brand of water heater as the replacement).  I called the Company and said if they could come down on the price I'd be willing to use them since they had been so helpful (and because I already had to pay $99 for the initial diagnosis).  I was told they had zero flexibility on price, so I ultimately went with another company (who I was VERY happy with).  Overall, seemingly good company just ridiculously overpriced.

This company's quote was twice as high as any others to replace my furnace and AC. I used one of their coupons to get a seasonal checkup and asked for a quote to replace the furnace. Their quote was over twice as much. I also thought that the things they found wrong with my furnace were odd. So I got a second opinion from a different company and they disagreed with Snells.  Definitely thought Snells was a scam. I really regret trying one of their coupons to save money.

They were recommended by a co-worker.  I really liked them at first for drain cleaning and installing 2 toilets, and a kitchen sink faucet.
I later called about a tub and tub surround.  I was told they could install.  3 men came and it took them about 2 weeks to complete.  They would tell me that they were coming back the next day, then no call, no show.  I would have to call Melisa and ask when they were coming back.  I would get a new date and time, no call, no show.  I would have to call/text again.  Reschedule and maybe I would get a call that Kurt was held up at another job.  We'd reschedule again, and they show up to do some work on the tub/surround.  Finally, after 2 weeks, they finished.  A month or so goes by, now my surround has an air bubble behind the wall.  Eventually, it moved all the way down to the bottom of the wall.  Now I'm back on the phone texting to see when they can come and fix it.  After several times of missed appointments, Kurt finally shows up to assess the problem.  He really doesn't know how it happened, but he will be back on Saturday to fix it.  No call, no show on Saturday. I text him and he say I promise Miss Robin, I'll be there on Wednesday.  No call, no show.  I've tried texting him and Melisa, and no answer from either of them.  I guess my hubby and I will have to fix it ourselves.  They sure don't have a problem taking your money, but they are not reliable, and they don't stand behind their work!

just nowNew-Edit
Nothing special here.  Decent enough company when everything goes right but the attitude changes dramatically when work they perform doesn't solve the problem.

We paid $850 to have a drain cleared that was backing up into our toilet in the basement bathroom.  As you can imagine, I was less than thrilled when less than two weeks later I was spending my Saturday afternoon cleaning sewage out of that same bathroom that backed up from the same toilet.  I texted Gus but never received a reply.

When I did reach him on the following Monday I was greeted only with defensive refusals to take any responsibility for the problem despite the fact his company had supposedly cleaned that same drain less than two weeks prior.  He even suggested we'd have to spend another $600+ to have his crew come back and see why their first repair didn't work. This was all incredibly frustrating as we have three young children and we needed to know the problem was fixed so they could all go to the bathroom etc...

When pushed to own the issue he, as others have reported, resorted to the tired game of childish name calling, insults, and false bravado.  He did ultimately suggest the city may be on the hook for the issue and made the necessary report for them to come. While this was appreciated, the fact it literally took 6 hours of increasingly inflammatory texts on his end for him to finally take that step rather than just doing it when I first called is beyond me.  Unfortunately, when the city did come they just confirmed the issue was not on the city's end which left us right back where we started.  By this point, Gus had made clear he never wanted to speak with us again and the feeling was quite mutual after dealing with his antics literally all day long so we decided to find other options to deal with the issue.

We had used Champion for several years for a number of issues, including installing a new hot water heater and a couple of other drainage issues and they were generally fine during those occasions and I even enjoyed talking to Gus who is, when in a good mood, an enjoyable guy to talk to.  Thus the three stars on this review.

Of course, what I care about most, however, is how a company responds when their work wasn't perfect and the customer didn't, perhaps, receive the best service to address the problem.  I certainly understand mistakes happen but I'll never understand why a company would rather insult, and obviously lose, a current customer than just stepping up and acknowledging that the first attempt at fixing the problem didn't work as planned and seeing what they can do to remedy that.

Obviously I'm moving on and won't be using Champion in the future and, based on Gus' colorful language in his texts with me, I'm guessing he's fine, maybe even happy, with that.

You may receive good service from these guys but think carefully before thinking they should be your go-to plumber given the possibility (probability?) they will leave you high and dry like they did with my family.
