Best Backflow Services in Washington DC

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

First-rate job of responding to, diagnosing, and remedying a plumbing emergency.  Very knowledgeable and great to work with. Highly recommended.

Heil Plumbing was recommended by the company that installed our water heater. Was having an issue of the burner and flame not working correctly. Was able to have it looked at the day I called for help. Eric arrived early, was very professional, and was thorough in considering the cause and explaining the service work. When he left the work area was spotless. Customer service from the first phone contact with the office through receipt of the invoice was outstanding. This is a third generation local business, a gem!

Donzelle was awesome.  We had an emergency plumbing situation (backup flowing up through my tenant's shower drain...pretty gross), and Donzelle was the first person to respond to my requests.  His communication was excellent throughout, his prices were fair, and he responded immediately.  He was also able to work with the tenant to find a time that worked best for everybody for follow-up work.  He didn't try to upsell or pressure us based on the situation and his quality of work was fantastic.  Sent pictures and updates throughout, cleaned up, and my tenant also reported that he was very satisfied.  Super professional, 5 stars.

Had a sump pump fail and they came and did a same day emergency replacement. I originally reached out to Opata for a second opinion bc I honestly don't know much about plumbing and they agreed with the other company that the sump pump needed to be replaced. Price was about $150 less than what the other company quoted me so I went with Opata. I had a million questions before and after the new sump pump was installed and they were super responsive and gave detailed answers to each question. I really appreciated this. Us first time home owners need help so it was great to not feel annoying for having a lot of questions.

Jorge serviced the two fireplaces in my home.  His service was first rate.  He arrived on time.  He did a thorough assessment of my fireplaces and recommended the services needed.  His price was fair and he warranted his work for a year.

Wow! Had a miscommunication with one of Gus's (the owner's) employees.
Have since deleted my comment. Gus's response?   He provided his personal cell phone number and, personally, came over that day to assess the problem. Turns out my kitchen sink leak was coming from my garbage disposal.  Again, that day, Gus arranged for 2 of his plumbers to come over and replace the disposal.

Outstanding customer service AND work! Forever my go to for any plumbing needs!!  The best!

After: picture was of bathroom being remodeled. Friendly workers, he responded to messages and contacts quickly. Would definitely recommend to family and friends.

I called Ehrhardt Brothers based on a friends referral. Right from the first phone call, the person I talked to understood what I needed and was knowledgeable enough to answer my plumbing questions.
I hired them to install a hot water heater and to see if the restricted hot water pressure in the kitchen faucet could be restored to normal.
Keith did an excellent install of the heater. And, much to my amazement,
discovered the problem with the faucet and quickly restored the pressure.
His experience and expertise were evident. I will call them for my future
plumbing needs and highly recommend them to anyone.

I hired DMV Plumbing to address a leak in my basement.  I was initially impressed with Elliott. I entered into a contract with him and he provided me with a 15 year warranty. Within one month of the completion of his work I experienced a leak. While he was repairing that issue he shared with me that his work man did not install plastic covering to seal the walls.  He assured me that he would come back install The membrane in it's entirety to prevent future leaks. Despite numerous broken promises, he never returned to the property. Fast forward two months, my basement has continued to  leak and there has been damage to the property. not to mention frustration on the part of tenants who live in the unit.   I have had other companies confirm that the foundation wall is the source of the problem. I must now have the job redone.  This has been a horrible experience.  Please do yourself a Huge favor and do not use DMV plumbing.

Quick reply to request.  Excellent communication.  Honest, good and fair price.  Excellent service.  Would definitely recommend to all my friends and family (and I have a large family) and store in my contact list as my go-to plumber!!  Thank you Chris Mahon and crew!

Our HVAC system was leaking. Clover sent someone to check out the situation quickly and the technician recommended a whole system replacement. I felt like he was making the recommendation genuinely, and he explained his reasoning. I asked for a quote for a new system and mentioned I wanted a baseline model. I received a quote later that evening, and it seemed fair for what I was getting.

They came a few days later and replaced the system in one day. They were accommodating of my schedule. Our technician was Ronan, and he was fantastic. He really made sure everything was right throughout the process. He had great attention to detail and was considerate. He even thought to ask me about whether I had extra wall paint since the new thermostat was smaller than the old one and showed the old paint. While we did have some paint, we also have a newborn and I knew I wouldn't get around to painting around the new thermostat. Ronan asked if I wanted a wider thermostat base instead. He installed the wider thermostat base for us so the old paint was covered. This is just one example of the thought and consideration he put into his work and customer service.

I would use them again for sure. My only complaint would be that I wish the install could have been scheduled sooner, but they were already booked up.

Called Northeast Plumbing once to repair a leak and haven't had any issues since. Plumber was punctual and very knowledgeable. Will call for future plumbing needs!

Incredibly responsive! I put out a request for quote and within 15 minutes received a call from Rich. He arrived at my house within an hour and had the issue fixed in under 30 minutes. From start to finish the entire process took 2 hours. Never fun to have to call a plumber but the Drain Guys do a great job eliminating the headache.

I tried to replace the faucet in the bathroom sink today...
Key word, tried.  I didn't flood the house, but it wasn't pretty.
Luckily, Brahim answered the phone and was at our house within the hour on a Saturday afternoon.  He was awesome!
Completed the work quickly, cleanly and had no issues with the craziness of a 2 kid, 2 dog and 2 cat household.
Cannot say enough good things about our experience!

Upstairs shower was leaking down into the kitchen. He assessed it fairly quick and did the repairs! Quality work for sure!

BEWARE!!
Recently had a technician come to service my home from this company. Technician rang doorbell at approximately 12:05pm. I received an email at 12:12pm stating I was a no show and would have to reschedule (my cell phone had died while in the office).  I immediately contacted the person that was at my home waiting for the technician and the company to assure the connection was made.
The technician stated he had already rescheduled the appointment and the person on the phone actually stated they would have to call back to see what technician wants to do.
- Please note my window for service was from 11am to 2pm. I am unsure as to how it is possible that I did not receive service today  when it took approximately 7 minutes to effectively make the connection between the person I who waited for the technician and the technician.

These people do no want to do the job! Do not waste your time!  Or maybe just don't take too long getting the door...

TL;DR: Book these guys; they're great. My experience with them was top-notch.

LONG VERSION: A little background. My wife and I are fairly new homeowners (going on two years), and we've definitely had our share of live-and-learn moments so far. Notably, right after we bought our house, we had to have some plumbing work done. Not extensive, but enough little annoying stuff to rack our costs up to over $1500. For those repairs, we went with a local plumber/handyman. He seemed great, so we used him for the installation of a new water heater last year. That was a mistake.

Not too long ago, I noticed a faint smell of gas coming from the water heater hookup, so we called these guys to come inspect it. I called them at 8.am. in the morning; they were at my house by 1 p.m. (without a rush fee). Erwin - who I can't speak of highly enough - came out and was the ultimate professional. Sure enough, the other plumber tightened the connection so hard that it cracked it, releasing a small amount of gas. Erwin then informed me that the flexible gas hoses used for our water heater and HVAC weren't really recommended, and it was a shortcut the other plumber took. At that point, I asked Erwin to go ahead and do a once-over of the entire water heater connection. He also found the other plumber used duct tape - DUCT TAPE! - to secure the water heater venting. That's a MAJOR carbon monoxide risk, and very luckily, Erwin had all the parts he needed to fix that issue, too. For all of that work (new gas hose installation, correcting of water heater duct work, and inspection of the unit), it was $450. I think it's a small price to pay for the safety of my family and whomever is going to rent our basement space in the future.

For those of you complaining about the consultation fee, GET OVER IT. They apply it to your balance should you decide to do work with them. Plumbing work is extensive, and I agree that it's incredibly hard to give an estimate - almost always to the chagrin of the customer when it winds up being more - over the phone. There are pipes, water/gas lines, valves, etc. that all need to be evaluated for an accurate estimate, and that's exactly what Erwin did. He walked me through every single thing about my repair - including nice-to-haves, but not necessary - and the cost associated with each. That's not something you can do over the phone. I never felt pressured to fix anything that wasn't necessary, and Erwin was incredibly patient as this new homeowner asked a bunch of questions.

We'll have these guys back to the house for any plumbing and HVAC service we need, including when we need those custom pipes fitted for a permanent solution in the water heater/HVAC closet. As far as I know, their work is also guaranteed, so that gives me peace of mind, too.

Book these guys; they're great.

I called Snell on Sunday evening after my air conditioner stopped working for a couple of hours, and they were able to send a technician to my home the next morning before noontime.  Franco was a knowledgeable professional who showed up on time and explained each step in detail as he inspected my HVAC system.  I trusted Franco fully as he told me what was and was not operating up to the manufacturer's specifications.  I never felt like he was just there to sell me something or recommend unnecessary repairs.  Franco also showed great respect for my home and family by wearing his shoe coverings and protective mask whenever he was inside my home.  Thanks for the great service Snell.  Please tell Franco to keep up the great work.
