Best Sink Repair in Washington DC

On February 12th, 2022, W.L. Staten sent a tech out to install a simple easy trap on my basement unit and a wet switch on my attic unit. Since that visit, my life has been turned upside down!!!

On that same day, five hours prior, I had my ducts cleaned by another company. Before the W.L. Staten tech arrived, my heat had been running successfully without any problems for five hours prior to their arrival.
When the tech arrived, he advised that the install of the easy trap and wet switch would take approximately 40 minutes in total. Almost close to two hours later, the tech was still in my attic installing the wet switch.

When I approached him to see what the problem was, he kept saying that there was something with the fan. When he advised that it was okay to turn the heat back on, all of this smoke started coming from my vents in my master bedroom. The room got instantly foggy. When I asked him what he did to my system, he said it was like that when I came, which was a lie!! Both systems were in tip top shape before the tech arrived. Prior tSmoke was NEVER coming from my vents!!!

I called back to the company and spoke to Chris, who was so incredibly rude to me and was making me feel like I did something wrong!

The next morning, February 13th, I woke up severally dizzy and have been plagued with health issues that have worsened ever since!!! The fire department and Washington Gas have been called to get to the bottom of why my HVAC is making me sick. All they can tell me is that no carbon monoxide is being emitted from the units, which I already knew from previous inspections.

As time progressed, my dizziness had turned into numbness and tingling in my head, and lower extremities. The inside of my nose, mouth, throat and tongue starts burning every time the heat kicks in. I would get sharp pains in my eyes. My legs would feel weak like they were going to give out. I've even had relatives come over from North Carolina to stay with me for a couple of days and they would start feeling sick. Every month since February, I have been in the ER plagued with these symptoms!!

I have hired 3 companies to look at my HVAC system and the final company was the ONLY company that thought to check my refrigerant levels.  On 5/22 leaks were found in both units, with the attic unit being the worse.

I strongly believe both of my units were sabotaged by the W.L. Staten tech. The smoke from my vents was refrigerant that was intentionally leaked. And I have been breathing in those gases, which explains my health issues!

What is the probability of both units having a refrigerant leak at the very same time? It is no secret that the technicians at W.L. Staten work on commission which means they've got to sell something to make money!! Consumer BEWARE!

We had a furnace gas valve that was leaking. I was able to book an appointment same day. Joseph from Reddick came out, did a thorough inspection and patiently explained everything to me. He was even great with my nosy puppy that was curious about what he was doing. I was given a written estimate for the repair on the spot. No hard sell, pressure to schedule right away or attempts to upsell me in anyway. Once I decided to go ahead, they scheduled me for the very next day. Joseph showed up on time and completed the installation very quickly. Great company and great employees. Definitely recommend!

Leo was wonderful to work with. I called him with an emergency and he came within a few hours. Service was done well, reasonably priced and he was a true professional. Friendly and knowledgeable in his field. Will be contacting again for future needs and highly recommend.

We lost our heat today, the Sunday before Christmas, and by the end of the day we were warm again thanks to Sean Shanahan of Drymount Air.  We called Drymount, he told us when he would be here and arrived at 7:20 pm as promised.  The furnace ignitor was replaced, and since he was in the attic checked the gas value, which was working fine.  He was professional and explained what he was doing and why, very pleasant and fairly priced.  We would highly recommend Drymount Air, and we made arrangements to have him replace our water heater after the holidays.

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 .

The technician came into our home and did not even acknowledge our hellos or greetings which made us feel very uncomfortable.

When it came to look at our leak he was very unsure as to how to proceed, often asking us which parts of our walls and ceiling we would like for him to cut. He moved very slowly and did not give us straight answers about the source of the leak, wavering between possibilities.   Ultimately he was unsure as to the source of the leak.

He said he could not do the repair on the same day (although we had been advised this would be possible when we made the appointment) due to him not having 1/2 inch CPVC pipes in the truck, but said he could wait for someone else to join him in two hours to do a same day repair.  He advised we would pay for his time waiting the two hours, at $125/hr.  We politely declined.

The gentleman also took calls and was on his phone during our job.

$350 for two hours of plumbing at a glacial pace.  Never again.

Had a refrigerator that needed to be installed.  The technician arrived on-time started installing the refrigerator and while installing he noticed that the water line for the ice maker needed to be replaced, he had everything on his truck to fix the water line.  The price was very reasonable and the technician was very knowleable about my refrigerator.  Would recommend DB Plumbing.

Muhammad is indeed an exceptional plumber, as well as a nice, honest guy.  We've hired him a few times for our plumbing needs (gas leak, leaky pipes, dishwasher drain issue, etc), and he's always gotten the job done at a reasonable price.  We rely on Muhammad for our plumbing needs, and would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a top notch plumber.

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.

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.

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.

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

I had a sewage pipe backup which caused a real mess on the Saturday after Christmas. Melissa was wonderful and Kirk was here within hours to snake the pipe and educate me on why this happened and what had to be done next. Melissa even called me on Sunday to make sure everything was ok. I LOVE this company!!

This is one of the most (if not THE most) responsive plumbing companies I've ever dealt with. I called Champion in hopes that they would be able to help us with a sewage obstruction that we were encountering and they came on site within the hour. I've never experienced anything like it (and this was on a holiday weekend). As it turned out, this was county issue and not an issue with our home plumbing. We were offered all of the information we needed to have the obstruction removed and everything rectified. Overall great customer service - thank you, Champion!

Excellent work. I called on Wednesday for a clogged drain and Keith was out the next morning. He was on time and both professional and courteous.  He came in and I explained the issue- it was not a clog in the trap but way down the line.  He went back to his truck and got all the materials he needed for the job in one trip.  He put down a drop cloth and went to work.  It took most of an hour with the machine going the whole time and the sink drains like new. He cleaned up so when he was gone you would not have know he was there, except for the drain working. The best I could have hoped for.  I would recommend Keith to anyone.

Had my HVAC checkup which SILA is offering a special on to make sure my system that SILA installed is working properly.   Technician, Carlos Reed, was courteous, showed up on time, and best of all gave me advice on how to better maintain the system.   I've been happy with SILA from installation of a new system and all follow up service/maintenance.

Definitely would NOT recommend this business. We had done business with Shanahan's HVAC for years and they were great. Owner retired, Snell bought them out, and service tanked. I had an HVAC maintenance contract with Shanahans. Snell took it over. When they came out for the annual review (which Shanahans had done just 12 months earlier), the tech found a ridiculous number of problems and tried to upsell my wife on what we needed to do. Left a really bad taste. Because Shanahans installed my HVAC, I assumed Snell needed to service it so when they offered a $79 HVAC special (July 2022), I called to make an appt as my system was not working properly. After several minutes getting all my information and setting up the service call, the rep said we've been forced to institute a $25 service call fee to help make up for gas prices.  I pointed out that we live in Springfield and their business is in Sterling - so a $25 fee for gas is totally ridiculous.  I told them that this was false advertising and it WASN'T a $79 service, it was a $104 service. They told me it wasn't false advertising, it was the sign of the times, and necessary. I told them it was akin to a service station advertising an oil change for $19.99.  However, once you get there, the manager tells you Oh, you wanted a new oil filter with that oil change?  That's an additional $20.  These guys are snake oil salesman and I recommend you find someone reputable with good customer service and an above-board business model.

I used to prefer hiring solo practitioners for home repair issues.  But now I've changed my mind.  We moved into an older house a few years ago, and we've had occasion to call Thomas E. Clark three times in the past year or so, initially for an A/C problem and then twice recently for plumbing issues.  I called them the first time because we have an unusual A/C system; the plumbing issues were also significant, not simple toilet or faucet repairs.  Each time, Clark was able to send a technician quickly, and that technician was fully competent and efficient.  They diagnosed and fixed the problems and charged a fair price.  What more could you want?  

I will not hesitate to call Thomas E. Clark again.
