We needed help on a weekend with a flooded basement. Dave arrived an hour later and fixed an overflowing sump pump quickly. He was professional, efficient and extremely knowledgeable. Look forward to hiring him for future jobs. read more

Dave came same day, fixed a kitchen sink drain that needed drain replaced. He gave great advice on how the previous efforts had failed. $225 covered the visit, and work guaranteed. Grateful for prompt, expert, local service! Thank you! read more

Just had Dave and his son come out to replace a pipe in the outdoor shower. Only down to stay at my parents summer house for less then 3 full days. The house was just being opened for the first time this summer when we arrived the previous night. So we came back from the beach ready to enjoy a outdoor shower. Only to realize there was a hole in a pipe and the water was spraying everywhere except on us. So we began asking neighbors for a recomended plumber at 6 pm. We found Dave the Plumber and called him. He offered to come that very night or first thing in morning. We chose 8:30am and sure enough Dave and his son showed up right on time the next morning and replaced the pipe in no time. Paid them (they even take Venm!), but we paid by check. I was ready for a big bill, but they only charged us $300. And that was after they checked the rest of the plumbing to make sure we didn't have any other problems. Very accommodating, friendly and professional gentleman. We were leaving later that morning so it was all taken care in perfect timing. And when my brother arrives there today it'll be all set for him. Highly recommended. read more

Was charged over $200 to fix the handle to my toilet. I am elderly and feel he took advantage of my situation. Look elsewhere for a reliable, honest and fair plumber. Dave is none of these. read more

Let me start by saying if I could give LESS STARS I would! He was rude and pushy...and proceeded to tell me I needed to have him close up my houses because I don't know what i'm doing...WRONG i've been closing the houses for over 30 years...so think again...get some people skills and slow your roll when you are talking to people, just because i'm not a licensed plumber doesn't mean i'm a moron! read more

Was doing over my kitchen and needed a gas line moved asap. Called Dave told him it was a cash deal and I went to the top of the list. A few hours later he was done, charged me I think around 500.00 dollars and I was able to complete my kitchen. Dave is a good plumber, talks a lot though, and his prices are I guess reasonable. I would definitely call Dave The Plumber again if needed. read more

Nothing is less fun than having a toilet that won't flush and water backing up into the shower basin in an 80 year old cottage. I called another service (not Dave) and they recommended that I have the cesspool pumped. Their guy came by and told me the cesspool was basically empty and that there was no point in pumping it. He called his dispatcher and scheduled a drain clean out (basically a roto rooter). I waited a couple of hours to find out when the service would be scheduled and decided to call Dave to see if someone else could get here sooner. (Did I mention that the non-flushing toilet was making the cottage smell like an outhouse?) Dave came by after he finished a job - about an hour - opened the cesspool, looked at the pipe, and diagnosed that the pipe needed to be replaced because 1) asphalt pipe in 2) old house. Did some research on the side: "before the 1960s, bell and spigot sewer pipe joints were often sealed with oakum (asphalt saturated hemp fiber) and cement mortar. These joints were assumed to have a lifetime of 25 to 30 years, after which the joint sealant would result in leaks." Once the leaks start, plant roots invade the pipe and stuff stops going through. Dave observed that you could possibly clear out the roots, but the problem would just keep coming back. So my roto-rooter quote was almost $400 and replacing the pipe would be a little over twice that. I'm not into half-assed fixes, so I went with Dave's diagnosis. He came the next day and replaced the old sewer "lateral" with PVC pipe that won't let roots in. The old pipe had so many roots in it you couldn't see through it. Problem solved! When you call a professional you expect them to have the experience and knowledge to fix the problem and not to just treat the symptoms when the problem will just keep coming back. Dave's a plumber who knows his stuff. He works fast and his prices are fair. Hence I'm going out of my way to give him a review since I appreciate that my plumbing problem is fixed, not just postponed. read more

Dave installed a new dishwasher for us. Dave was prompt, very knowledgeable, was able to correct the mistakes I made when I removed a cabinet for the dishwasher. I had a great conversation with him and he told me of several hidden places to go on Cape Cod. The work he did was very neat and the dishwasher works great. He is my go to guy for any plumbing need I may have, and his price was fair. I would highly recommend him for any plumbing need. read more

He just lost a great customer as we have many houses in the area and were in need of a good plumber.

My frost-free faucet wasn't working this spring - no water coming out. I called my usual plumbing company, who sent someone out. He spent about 20 minutes looking at the faucet and inside the house and said it could only be fixed by cutting the drywall to get at the valve and the pipe. I didn't think that made sense so read reviews and called Dave the Plumber because of the reviews and thinking he would be a bit more creative than the large plumbing company. Not only did he actually listen to what I described, he took my phone number and said he would call when he was nearby to come take a look. And within a few days, that's what he did, going out of his way in between appointments. He looked at the situation, replaced parts inside sillcock and fixed the problem within 45 minutes. It wasn't inexpensive (no plumber is) but it was so worth it to call Dave. Very pleased. read more

Five stars all around! When I called, Dave answered. Dave was able to come over within an hour of calling and take care of us! We had an emergency situation and he was able to help us the same day! The toilet was not flushing and we were worried it would be costly as the cottage is on an older septic system. We only have the one toilet and he solved the problem for us and took care of us right away. I am so pleased with his service and kindness in helping us. I highly recommend Dave and am impressed with his prompt response, honesty and problem solving ability to get it done! Give him a call and he will take care of you! Thanks Dave. read more

Dave does a great job on whatever your plumbing problem or needs might be. He does quality work on time and he goes the extra mile when he sees a problem he fixes it. He overcomes problems when things don't go according to plan. He works according to his own schedule but somehow he gets the job done on time. Great job fair price and pays attention to details. Do not get frustrated if he seems to blunt, hang in there he gets the job done on time according to the quote. He is neat and respectful of your property.

Dave the Plumber was very professional, timely, and courteous. He texted the night before he was coming just to reassure me that he had not forgotten the appointment and showed up when he said he would which amazed us! His price was significantly lower than what he had estimated over the phone as he focused on the task at hand and tried his best to complete it in a timely manner. I will 100% use him again in the future and have no doubt he will display the same qualities again. read more
