Best Plumbing Inspection in Washington DC

As a realtor walking buyers through the home inspection process, JF Plumbing has been a valuable resource as well as a great company to provide corrective action.  Often times a small plumbing repair timely done results in significant savings.    Always available and timely, I highly recommend JF Plumbing.

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!

Great customer service.  Great work.  It was a simple toilet job but the tech was very friendly and was able to fix the issue right away.  Would highly recommend!

Thanks Manhon. I'm looking forward to a master plumber . Please come thru . The in person assessment was wonderful

Syd is just now finishing up some work for us.  
I first had Syd out to diagnose and bid a drain problem in  my Dad's house last spring, but I ended up going with another plumber, and wish I had gone with Syd the first time.  Eventually, that other plumber took care of the drain problem from just inside the foundation wall to the outside line up to the street.  
More recently, as we were getting ready to put that house on the market, we noticed another issue with the utility floor drain backing up whenever running a load of wash.  Syd and his crew came promptly, and confirmed that we also needed replacement of the floor drain under the concrete in the utility room. He gave me a decent bid on the spot, and was able to get to work more quickly that I expected.  His crew moved our clothes washing appliances out of the room, removed the laundry tub, covered our cabinets and shelves with plastic, and painters-taped the door jambs to contain the dust from the jack-hammering excavation.  They replaced our drain pipes, got the county inspection, covered the hole with gravel, and put a smooth coat of concrete to repair the excavation.  When the concrete set, they came back the next day and put everything back where it was supposed to be.  They did all this with patience and professionalism despite the well meaning but sometimes ditsy occupant of the house who made it challenging for them to gain access and start work some days, and I really appreciate their forbearance, though I would not recommend you taking that for granted.  

In short, go with Syd - you'll be glad you did.

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!

FINALLY, a plumber that doesn't suck! It was even a home warranty call (on which they make less money) and we were still treated like we were their best client. They sent a guy named, Jack, who couldn't have been more polite and respectful. SUCH a breath of fresh air. Their magnet is DEFINITELY going on our fridge!

Hello Yelpers. My review may not be as useful as others because some time has passed since the service call, I've forgotten the names of the technicians. What I can recall, however, is that the guys arrived on time (9:00am for a 9:00-11:00 arrival window), were extremely knowledgeable, and personable to boot. It's always awkward when a service tech can't, or won't engage in any small talk. I was determined to stick to my limited budget, and get a simple snaking of my kitchen sink drain, but the tech recommended the hydro-jet service after assessing the video images of my drain, and struggling to get the snake far enough down the line. What's cool is that he wasn't pushy about the more expensive service option, which actually encouraged me to agree to the better long-term, hydro-jet option. The cherry on top was only being charged 60% of the hydro-jet price I was originally quoted. Considering the fact that I actually received a Snaking and Hydro-jet service, the cost was pretty phenomenal. Water is flowing nicely down my kitchen drain, and I honestly have no regrets about the service call. I'd recommend All American Jetting to anyone with a clogged drain.

Quick response, great price, and friendly knowledgeable technician who took covid precautions seriously. I will absolutely use them again for any future plumbing needs!

Our gas furnace stopped working the day after xmas and the coldest day of the year. Bob came the next day, replaced the furnace in only a few hours, gave us a great price, and we were warm and toasty the same day!
I would highly recommend Bob.

We've had to contact Service Force Plumbing on multiple occasions in the last couple years. The first time was because our water heater completely crapped out in the dead of winter. I can't remember who it was that inspected it and confirmed the issue. But he was very professional and knowledgeable. He was able to order a new water heater and have it scheduled to be installed the next day.

Roy then came the next day to install our water heater. He ended up coming on a weekend during off business hours to finish the installation. He also helped us with a couple other things we had some concerns with. He was very patient, knowledgeable and extremely helpful.  

A couple days after, we had to call them again to follow up with one of our existing issues. Roy once again came by and did a really great job breaking everything down and explaining it to us step by step.

Then recently, we had some more leak concerns because our water bill was extremely high. We worked with Harold this time around. He was professional, knowledgeable and also very helpful.

Everyone we have ever worked with from Service Force Plumbing has been consistently great. We definitely won't be working with anyone else!

Great service.  Highly professional and courteous.  Service was prompt and on-time and communication was very thorough and timely.  Charges were fair.  I used them to snake a clogged outdoor drain and I am very satisfied with the service I received.

Our son's hot water tank started leaking, so we searched the web for quick assistance to fix the problem. Elite worked quickly to help us resolve the issue. They were fast, efficient, and did excellent work. Highly recommend them. Bonus-they are a local business. Always want to work with solid professionals in our community.
Thanks to them for their excellent service!

Very professional.  We walked the project with Lee, explained what we wanted and he wrote up a detailed estimate quickly.  He answered all our questions.  The pricing was reasonable and fair.  The crew showed up on time, did quality work, cleaned up well.  Very satisfied and will absolutely work with Lee again.

I had a fairly good experience with this company yesterday. I found a leak in my HVAC Tuesday morning. After shopping around with other companies, I decided to go with this company based upon another unit owner in my building's recommendation. The cool thing about this company is that they have a comparable hourly rate to other companies, but if your problem is not a crazy bad emergency issue - for a few dollars more than it would cost to fix your problem in on visit, they can set up a service contract with you - which covers not one, but two visits. And as I have discovered, HVAC's do require annual (bi-annual is better) maintenance.  

The technician who came out, Carlos, was punctual, well mannered - and explained what was going on with the unit to me in layman's terms.  When I asked fora better rate, he didn't dismiss me - he put me on the phone with his manager - and we were able to come to a better agreement. For this flexibility, Thomas E. Clark will have my business for years going forward....

Honestly when it comes to contractors, its not always about what you pay - but whether you feel that you were treated fairly. I will probably upgrade my rating to 5 stars if the HVAC continues to work in good condition by the time they pay me their next visit in June.

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.

Terrible customer service. I was excited to do business with this company based on positive reviews from associates and was very disappointed. They did not call me back in 2 hours which seems strange for a plumbing company. The front desk operator refused to let me speak to anyone or give me the names of the manager or owner of the business. I am a commercial property owner who could have provided a lot of business but they were not interested in helping me with a property under contract. They said, We don't do contractors. I said I am under contract and in the due diligence process, part of this process revealed an unidentified pipe that I would like to evaluate. They offered a price which I would pay but then said since I don't own the property, they have a company policy against working with me. I find this ridiculous. If I will pay for their service and it is part of a pre-closure property inspection why would a company refuse business?
Customer service means finding a solution to help solve a problem not refusing to help.
