Tyler of Pipe Dreams Sewer & Drain is *fantastic*. I've lived in my townhouse condo for nearly 12…read moreyears, and the kitchen sink has never drained marvelously well. I had understood that it was due at least in part to a shallow grade of the outlet pipe...whatever. A couple of years ago, it had gradually become clogged enough that it was draining painfully slowly. I had RotoRooter out to clear it, and when the work was done, it was much better. It drained just fine, like before. Over two or three months this past fall, it gradually slowed down again, and I waited because I remembered how expensive it was the last time. Finally, there was no more waiting. It had become gross, it was so *disgustingly* slow, and I was even wondering whether it would require major work of some kind. I am so happy to have seen the glowing reviews here of Pipe Dreams. I called them & they were able to get me in in two days. Tyler was here for about an hour, and the tools he used were very different from the long, manual snake that RotoRooter had used. It/they were motorized things that had a reach far down the pipes. Tyler explained that he was staying mindful of the neighbors' pipes and not disturbing those. When he was done, he filled the sink with water & then released it. Since we bought this place all those years ago, I had NEVER seen it empty so fast, and I didn't even think it was possible. The water began to spin and make the most beautiful whirlpool and then was gone. The whole time he was here, Tyler could not have been more considerate, clear in his communication, and helpful. He also gave me tips on how to keep the drain clear. I kept meaning to write this review soon after he was here, but it's now been three months - oops! Here is the bright side to the delay: I can report that the sink has been draining wonderfully ever since, and it makes me soooo happy every time I use the sink. Call Pipe Dreams! You will be glad you did.

We feel very fortunate to have found Tyler and Elizabeth Scott, of Pipe Dreams, for our septic pump…read morereplacement. They were reliable, open and honest about the entire process even when the items on the blueprint didn't match the actual equipment that had been installed 20 years prior, along with outdated instalment features. They had to find a different pump, and electrical replacement solutions. They were great and did it with positive attitudes and friendly hardworking ethics. We enjoyed getting to know them and were very impressed with how much they care. They made the job change work with the price they had quoted us as well, which was very reasonable. Thank you both for being a great team. Louisa and Dean

Not only did he take care of the problem, and then some, in a professional way, but, was also a really good young man. The job was not easy but he stayed for close to six hours and got the job done in a superlative way. I told him that he didn't need to clean up and that I would be glad to do that. He cleaned the place anyway and did a remarkable job at that. Of course, it cost a pretty penny, but from my perspective, I do not mind paying if the job is completed in a diligent manner - and this was done so. I know who I am calling the next time that I have any plumbing or heating problems - and as homeowners, we know for certain that is a part of the journey. Bob Wolford

When we contacted him to return and fix the issue, he initially claimed he had been in a car accident. After several months, we reached out again, and he stated he would only return if we paid him additional money. We declined, as the issue was due to faulty installation. He then falsely accused us of not paying him in full. This is not accurate--we have documentation of our payment as well as Facebook messages confirming the agreement and completion of payment. Overall, the work was substandard, and the follow-up service was unprofessional and unwilling to take responsibility for the original issue.
