First time customer here, and The Drain Guys will definitely be my first call for future plumbing…read morework. From my first interactions I was impressed with the customer service. I solicited quotes from three companies to reline my 80+ year-old sewer line. One never delivered; Second quoted but was near impossible to get questions answered regarding the quote. Drain Guys quoted on the spot, and was extremely responsive regarding follow-up questions. The CIPP liner process is technically complex, and the team experienced some unforeseen complications. However, the skill, positive attitude, and perseverance of every team member when things got tough truly impressed me. The team worked very hard over several days, overcame major obstacles, and ultimately delivered a drain line that will hopefully last another 80 years. Despite the challenges, I never doubted I was in good hands with The Drain Guys and I would absolutely call them again. Special thanks to Adrian, Kevon, Oliver, Johnny, and Jay -- I appreciate you all! Chris

I submitted a project request for clanging pipes through Yelp and a rep from the drain guys was the…read morefirst to respond within 2 minutes. They were able to come out first thing the following morning to take a look at the situation, turned the water valves all the way on, and sent me a detailed quote while they were still there (unfortunately they initially sent it to a wrong number so someone has my personal data :/ ). Pricing was on the higher end of what I expected, and I was planning to get estimates from other companies that responded on Yelp to compare, so I let them know I would be in contact. Later that evening, I went back downstairs and noticed a leak coming from the main water valve, which was not leaking prior to the drain guys' visit. I immediately sent a message with a video via yelp, and the rep responded saying they would contact the plumber and get back to me. It's been almost 2 weeks and I still haven't heard back, which is interesting as they were so quick to respond when I was potentially giving them business, but ghosted me when I held them accountable for causing a leak. Thankfully, a plumber from another company that responded to my yelp project came by and was able to tighten the valve to stop the leaking. Turns out the drain guys plumber had loosened the entire pipe/valve when he turned the knob all the way on, so it was a simple fix but something that they should have looked out for in the moment. Had I waited for the drain guys to come back my basement would have been flooded. I'm utterly disappointed in their lack of accountability and communication, and have no trust in their services if they were able to let me down on such a small matter.

We scheduled service two different times with Shawn and yet not only did he not show up, but he…read morenever even contacted us to let us know. TWO separate times! The first time ge apologized so we thought it was a fluke, but his text on Friday saying he would see us today was meaningless We spent two full days waiting for him to arrive and my husband spent a lot of time cleaning, taking things out from under the cabinets and putting them up on our bathroom counters so that Shawn could actually work on the sinks. We've had boxes on our bathroom counters for 3 weeks now. I actually needed to go to a headache clinic today because I was very sick with a horrible 3 day migraine, but we couldn't leave the house if Shawn was eventually coming. I have notified the friend who referred us to him as well as everyone in my HOA's Facebook group because he was recommended by her and I needed to let others know that Shawn is not a reliable plumber. Baded on all the other 1 srar reviews, i anticipate Shawn will respond and say it's somehow our fault, like he has done with all the other bad reviews, but all we did was try to give him a job to do. We are taking our service elsewhere, likely Tuckers.

An update on a hot water heater install 4 years later. Ends up that the cold water inlet pipe was…read morecorroding pretty bad right where it connects to the water heater. There must have been a small leak in the connection as I wiped it dry one day and the next day when I checked, it was a little wet. Had another plumber access and come and fix it and he said the pipe was not sealed correctly on the original install, so it obviously cost me money to repair it. Granted this was 4 years later but still I would not expect an issue 4 years after getting a new hot water heater installed, so you can be the judge if thats an unreasonable expectation.

The house finally feels like a home again: it's quiet, with no creaks or rattles. We also want to thank you for taking the time to roll out the "red carpet" and for being so mindful of protecting our floors.

Outstanding workmanship and service you provide. Thank you

Their plumber showed up and told me the line was cleared. They charged me $729.00 which was extremely high. In less than 5 days the laundry sink started backing up again. I called Peddicord plumbing and was told they couldn't come back for almost another week. I spoke with their manager Patricia and was told that even though I just paid $729.00 they were too busy to come out and fix a job that wasn't completed . I am a senior on a fixed income. I called WSSC to come check the county lines which they came right out. They said the lines were fine and that Peddicord plumbing did an incomplete job. I was also told that The plumbing company should submit an Off-Property Report Request for my Address. I feel like I was taken advantage of when the Peddicord Plumbing Manager Patricia told me they would have to send 2 plumbers and other equipment and charge me more money for the same work they didn't complete. I paid $729.00 for incomplete work. I was also told they don't guarantee cleared drains but never told me that or the cost before they started the job. They advertise that that have a workmanship guarantee. Seniors beware of this company. Really anyone should beware of a company that in less than 5 days they won't honor what you just paid for and paid a very high price for incomplete work.

Since HEIL Plumbing has been my "go to" residential plumbing service for a number of years, I…read morecalled them immediately when we had a slow toilet draining issue in the basemernt bathroom. I called HEIL Plumbing when they opened at 07:30 hrs. I got a return call from Allison within 1 hour. She was able to schedule Eric (the younger) to come out the same day between 09:00 hrs and 13:00 hrs. Eric arrived at approximately 09:20 hrs. Eric quickly diagnosed the issue. This time, while he was running diagnostic checks to identify the issue, fortunately, the toilet clog cleared itself. He ran the check a number of times , including running the sink cold water to try to overload the waste line with water, to make sure that the clogged toilet was no longer an issue. Once he was satisfied that all was good, he let me know that the charge for today would be the general diagniostic charge of $95.00. Again, I was extremely satisfied with the entire process, from making an appointment, to Eric's arrival time, his pleasant demeanor and his professional knowledge. I would highly recomment Eric (the younger) with HEIL Plumbing for anyone who has a residential plumbing issue that they need to have addressed by a pleasant, knowledgeable professional.

The technician did arrive on time, but did not offer any insight to our leak issue other than here's how much Heil would charge for a replacement. The assessment took a minute.

Wish the assessment was either free or can get a refund.

The guy came out, don't want to name the plumber, sent me an estimate literally 5 minutes after leaving the house. The estimate was for almost $5000 to replace the hot water heater and another $4500+ to repair/replace the leaky pipes for a total of almost $9500. Ridiculously laughable. I was able to get the job done for $1200 total by a licensed independent plumber. I didn't need the HW heater to be replaced. They just had to remove some HVAC ductwork to get to the leaky pipes, which they put everything back after replacing pipes. Do Not use Mallick I would consider them to be untrustworthy, and total rip off. Always get at least 3 estimates just make sure they are licensed. I still ended paying $99 for Mallick because they have a policy you pay $99 for estimate but gets added to the total if you get the work done. Again, ripoff. I also got an estimate from FH Furr that was significantly lower than Mallick but they were unwilling to remove ducts that they didn't install. Another ridiculous policy by another large plumbing company even though their plumber said they would have to involve the HVAC department. Maybe their plumbers don't know company policy. These guys didn't charge for an estimate. My recommendation is DO NOT use Mallick and even DO NOT use FH Furr.

Their technician - Joe - is a knowledgeable, capable, conversational asset. Despite unforeseen conditions requiring repair of the plumbing connection that was to remain, and two toilets that were leaky from manufacturing defects, JF Plumbing and Heating responded on the fly, taking the working parts of each while diagnosing slapdash repairs by the previous owner - that may have led to the broken toilet we had to replace - in the process. As of the day after replacement, everything sems in great working condition. It's been rare in my experience that tradespersons call to keep me apprised of their status on the day scheduled for the work. Thanks to Melanie, too for the heads-up.
