Best Drain Cleaning in Washington DC

Called for a problem with the shower temperature control.  Tom came out, looked at it, charged me $69 and said he would get back to me.  After one week and no word from the company, I called the office and the lady who answered said she would reach out to Tom and have him call me back.  He didn't.

I called the next day and again was told Tom would be calling me.  Finally, nine days after the initial visit, Tom called from what sounded like his vehicle in traffic (from the background noise) and said the replacement part would cost me over $600 plus labor to install it and he wasn't even sure it would be the correct part.  He indicated that I might want to consider replacing the entire system, letting them tear into the wall and replace the shower head and the body sprays.  I asked him to send me something in writing, but he never did.  

What a fiasco!  Total upsell.  Tom obviously did not want to do the job I needed done.  And he didn't follow up on anything - the repair, not even selling me the new system!

A friend of mine, who was in from out of town, came by, looked at the job, ordered the replacement part on Amazon (for $69), and installed it the next day.  The shower is now working fine.

No thanks to Reddick and Sons.  What a lousy way to do business...as unprofessional as I have ever seen.

My condo kitchen sink was backed up and it was a weekend. I didn't think a plumber would be able to come out but Mehran quickly responded and was swift in resolving the issue. He gave a good price and was very communicative. I would definitely recommend Mehran for any plumbing issues!

I booked an appointment for regular HVAC maintenance. Tyler was my technician, and he was great. He was very thorough, and he explained what he was checking as he worked and taught me some things about how my unit works. He identified an issue or two that will need to be fixed in the next year, told me the cost and gave me a sense of how long I could wait so I have a little time to budget. He's also friendly and chill. I had a great experience with him, and would definitely recommend.

I do not doubt, but am nonetheless mystified, by the number of negative reviews about Thos. E. Clark. In my 14 years in DC, we have had them for both large and small jobs. They are alwys done withe the very highest level of skill and professionalism.  I don't know if the pricing is higher than it should be as I have no means to compare. I do know that I spent 35 years in a very competitive and often reviled business (new car dealer, service and body shop) and delivering consistently proper service requires a staff that is well-trained, committed, customer conscious, experienced and, frankly, well paid. Thos. E. Clark, in our experience, is first-rate.

Instead of trusting my gut feeling after two encounters with this group, I continued giving them the benefit of the doubt - big mistake.  A young man came to my house - at a cost of $108 to fix a leaky boiler system.  While he was polite and professional, he informed us that replacing the leaky boiler valve was not something he felt confident addressing.  After a discussion with someone at the group's main office, he explained that the additional cost would be $730.  Upon further inquiry, they told me the job would require two men and could take the entire day.  We agreed that I'd give it some thought and call back. I then located the needed valve for a cost ranging from $35 to $54.  I then called Snell again and asked to speak with the manager.  The person said the manager wasn't available.  Even after additional attempts to reach the manager, it became evident that the manager did not want to talk with me with excuses ranging from that manager no longer works here to sorry, he's really busy but I can help you.  Eventually, Snell said they were willing to replace  the valve for $600.  A few days later, I called to set the appointment.  (NOTE: When you call, be prepared to hear appx 3 minutes of a recorded advertisement message ... before there's any chance of anyone answering.)  Nonetheless, a nice lady eventually answered and re-directed my call to dispatch where appointments are made. After a 7-8 minute hold, no answer.  I called back, spoke with the same lady, however, this time she sent a message to dispatch with the details of my situation, the estimate particulars, and a request that they call me asap.  I waited until mid-morning of the next day and still did not get a return call.  Frustrated, I reached out to a local plumber; he looked at the situation and said he'd take care of it for $175 and that the job shouldn't take any longer than 30 to 40 minutes.  (He located the part at Home Depot at a cost of $35.) Bottom line, my initial suspicions were proven correct.  My advice, do not trust Snell, call another group instead.  You'll save considerable money and will save tons of aggravation.

We recently had a well line leaking, and would like to give a shout out to Tim, Wayne, BJ, and the crew for the great service and attention to details. The work required a bobcat in the yard and they did a great job keeping disruption to a minimum. We had something to be addressed after the initial work was complete, and Bj and Wayne came out in the excessive heat to address the issue. Thank you again for GREAT customer service! Will definitely use again.

Jonathan arrived exactly on time. He was very professional and worked through our 3 issues methodically. He cleared a slow kitchen drain, installed a flush valve, and cleared a slow bathroom sink drain. He took his time and did not seem to mind when I stopped in to check on his progress.

I haven't used plumbers in a while, so his prices seemed a bit on the high side, but I've learned that it's better to pay for quality. And, he was so much better than the big chains who have sent less skilled technicians who commonly just rush in and out.

We'll definitely use them again.

These guys are a lifesaver. Our AC went out on one of the hottest days of the year. I used Yelp to get quotes, and most of the companies didn't respond or couldn't come until later in the week. Drymount got back almost immediately and had a technician over within a hour. He quickly fixed the issue. Good price and quick service.

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

My family and just returned from vacation last night to discover we had no hot water. I went through the yelp find a business and Kahlid responded within 15 mins and was able to come out to the house within 2 hours! He was able to fix the issue and we are good to go. He was very Courteous and even showed me how to fix the issue if it ever arises again. I definitely recommend Get it Right Services .

Everything great.  Immediately responsive to my initial contact.  This wasn't an emergency, but still offered a visit within 24hours and solved the problem.

Today we discovered our sewer line was backed up into our basement! OH, THE HORROR.
However, after recalling a friendly plumber experience at our business, we reached for the phone & called up ol' DB's Plumbing & Drain.

Within an hour a professional & knowledgeable member of DB's team greeted us at our door. WHEW. What a relief! Especially when there is sewage involved.

When you're dealing with this type of (literal) sh*t, it's hard to care how much something costs, because in the name of all that is holy you just want it to be fixed! But, even with that inflated-sense of bank account, we found the pricing to be TOTALLY REASONABLE.

So, if you want a company who is upfront, does it right, reasonably & with a smile on their face, this is the one.

Can't say enough good things about the work Carlton did. He was honest and meticulous and very careful to make sure the job got done right. It could have turned into a much bigger job but he took a very patient and conservative approach and got it done with the least amount of impact on the house. I'll use him again for sure.

We had a leak issue on a Sunday. After calling 8+ plumbers and mostly getting a can't come out until tomorrow, Heil called back, and even though we were out of their emergency service territory, the technician called back and give us advice on the likely issue over the phone and told us we didn't need to pay for an emergency plumber. Really appreciate going above and beyond for someone who wasn't a customer.

So we went with another highly rated company on yelp originally and when they came out they gave me a quote and said that it would be another week before they could actually fix my issues. The quote was insanely high, to the point I felt like they were ripping off this little lady.

I got an estimate via Yelp from Donzelle and I asked if he could come. There were a couple more follow up questions in an effort for him to dial in the quote even more and to make sure he brought the correct fixtures.

He was able to fix the leak pretty quickly - but didn't bring the correct fixtures (my fault). He came the next day though to finish the job. Also, he fixed my loose toliet seat that I've been too lazy to fix, as well as giving me some maintance tips to keep my tankless water heater working.

I've had big time plumbers come through and I've had small companies come through. But Donelle is my go to plumber from now on. He was polite, efficient, gave me a fair price, and was a stand up guy. I will be recommending him to all my friends.

Needed help with a water heater, Matt was very responsive and corrected the issue within a few hours of notification.

We had a leak, the drain pipe behind the washer. We wanted to be sure there was no clog in the drain pipe. The guy wired the drainage pipe in place but left before checking for a clogged pipe. We asked him to wait until the water drained but he refused and walked out!!! Never again!!

All nite S&D cleaning was called to replace a leaking diverter.we have used them for yrs.and were always happy with them.I decided to have them set a new toilet and laundry tub while they were here. When they arrived they immediately jumped to the toilet and tub which wasn't the emergency.when Kirk went to start on the diverter I was told the one I had purchased was not correct and that he would get the correct diverter and return another day.Well after 4 rescheduled no call, no show appts. It is not replaced.To make matters worse I discovered that the diverter I had purchased was the correct part.Im guessing they just didn't want to crawl in to do it which is fine but all they had to do is say so and not string us along for 3 weeks. Thought we were a valued customer that called them for all our plumbing needs thru many yrs.

Our stack pipe cracked, putting all our bathrooms out of commission for what was going to be a week due to scheduling with our usual plumbers.  Gus and his crew were able to get us fixed up the next day.  Their timeliness saved us what was going to be  a week of time spent in an AirBnB with a young child and a lot of stress, all at a very competitive cost.  We very much appreciate the timely help and will be in touch for future needs.

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