Reviews
Adam spent the morning at our house testing our water heater. After many hours, including Kirk coming by to consult, they left without charging me at all! Adam is so friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Durance Plumbing!

I've had Durance provide plumbing services on a couple of occasions at various properties that I own. This time I called on Sat about a water pipe and water heater issue at a resale property I bought earlier in the year. They indicated their schedule was packed but would work to fit me in on the upcoming Monday afternoon. They came out as promised and quickly diagnosed the issues. They explained what was going on and offered me some options. Finally they performed all the required/ requested work satisfactorily. Continue to be pleased with their services and personnel.

The guys from Durance (Kirk, Adam, Matt) are honest, knowledgeable, and dependable and do great work. We have an old house and have trusted them with several different jobs (backups, leaks, furnace replacement) -- including in the middle of the pandemic. Each time it was a good experience despite the difficulty of dealing with plumbing issues. They're more interested in building relationships than making a quick buck.
Kirk Durance and his team have been handling our 1950's plumbing for ten years, and they always do a quick, effective job. Communication is great and Kirk always spells out the costs and options clearly. Recommended!

Had and emergency of sorts the day after Thanksgiving. Made a call to Durance they gave me a time they would show, and Adam showed up 1 minute early. Big job in new bathroom and he was neat as can be. When they left everything was working well
And they cleaned up after themselves very well. Matt arrived half way into the project and finished all the final touches. Have already given their number to 5 family members. Thank you Adam and Matt… great job!!!!!!

Honest, Reliable and does Excellent work! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
Adam is fabulous! First of all, you would not expect these qualities in a plumber: Soft spoken, kind, generous hearted. I refer to him as the Zen Plumber. I texted him on a Friday night to tell him that the sink he worked on a few years before had started leaking. He came out Saturday morning. We discovered that the part that was installed wrong was the finishing touches my handyman had done when installing a new sink. Even though it wasn’t his work, he fixed it for free! What surprising and amazing customer service!
Very professional and friendly.
Would definitely recommend. Professional and communicative. Had a backed up pipe, plumber explained what he was doing and why.
We've come to rely on Durance and their amazing team for all of our plumbing needs. We've got an old house with lots of character, and plumbing issues that aren't always straightforward or easy to diagnose and repair. Durance has consistently been very responsive, done great work, and everyone from scheduling to the plumbers have been delightful to do business with. Reasonably priced, trustworthy - we're happy to have them as our first and only call.

Can't recommend these guys enough. For 3 of the 4 issues I've had, they've talked me through how I can fix myself. A great local business.
We have used Durance Plumbing for several different plumbing issues over recent years. Their plumbers have NEVER disappointed us with their ability to diagnose & fix the particular problem. Durance is also very reasonable in their charges. One time, the plumber even saved us money by quickly fixing the garbage disposal with a simple fix that continues to work. They are honest & we will continue to use them in the future.

We had a great experience with Durance after discovering water leaking through the ceiling of one of our closets. They arrived on-time, were professional, and quickly identified and fixed the problem. They did an excellent job projecting the furniture and electronics in the room from the mess as they pulled down the ceiling and cleaned up after themselves when they were done.
Overall, they fixed the issue very quickly for a fair price. I would definitely hire them again.
I've used Durance Plumbing on two occasions, and both times they were responsive, professional, and thorough. They took the time to understand the issues we were having, make a clear diagnosis, and move quickly to remediate the problem. It can be hard to find a plumber you trust, but I know I have one now. If you have a plumbing problem, call Durance! Achieve piece of mind at a fair price.
Durance is the best in the area. I've had Kirk and his team do a variety of plumbing tasks including outdoor faucets, clogs, pipe repairs, etc. Kirk is extremely responsive to emails and his team always shows up on time and professionally. They are the only plumber I use and I highly recommend for any job.
Excellent experience overall. Top notch from the initial call to the service tech who responded, will definitely use them again if ever needed.

I have used Durance Plumbing for several years. They are awesome! I have an old house with lots of issues and they've come through every time. They are prompt, honest, courteous and tidy. Their prices are reasonable and they always give me the estimate before starting work. They've replaced my furnace, hot water heater, and countless other things. When I have an emergency, they rescue me every time. My heroes!

Absolutely first-rate! Mr. Durance came to replace a kitchen faucet. When the replacement I had acquired proved defective, he went out and got another one so the job could be completed in one visit. His conscientiousness was truly welcome.
I had a clogged kitchen drain that my 25’ snake had no effect on. I called Durance on a Saturday morning and they were at my house within an hour. Adam had the problem solved in no time. I also asked him to change out the disposal and drain and he did a great job with that. Super knowledgeable and friendly service.

Big thanks to Adam for diagnosing and fixing my major plumbing issue with precision and in record time. He carefully walked my wife and I through the all the potential causes and isolated the problem. He was very detailed when explaining the steps for resolution. And he clearly outlined what to expect to the repair process so there were no surprises. Very thankful for his professionalism and work ethic. Check out Adam at Durance Plumbing for all your plumbing needs. Well, that's IF you want it done right the first time.
Durance plumbing is that wonderful combination of great work, great professionalism, and great integrity. I cannot imagine using anyone else in this area and am so pleased to recommend them to anyone needing a plumber.

I’ve gone to Durance Plumbing for all of our plumbing needs over the past 10 years in two different houses. They are by far the most professional, provide the best value and perform the best work. Kirk and Adam are the most honest plumbers you will ever encounter. We just had to have a new hot water heater replaced and decided to get several quotes. Durance Plumbing was much lower than their competitors and they did amazing work! Hands down the best plumbers in the DC Metro area, and most importantly you’ll pay the fairest price due to their honesty and integrity. Fully recommend you call them first for your plumbing needs!
Great team, didn't give me the run around when trying to get a quote. Initial efforts didn't resolve the issue, but were happy to continue working until it was.

Durance Plumbing provides fantastic service. Mr. Durance is very professional, kind, trustworthy and reliable. He did a great job with my dental office’s back flow plumbing repair .
He was super punctual, thorough and efficient in making the appropriate repairs. He was also kind enough to take the time to educate me on the issues I was having with my system. He just made a customer for life!
I highly recommend Durance Plumbing, and I will definitely refer my dental colleagues to this company !!

Don’t think he was completely honest. He charged $100 extra for going to get the ‘right’ part for our leaky faucet, the part was a standard one he should have had in his vehicle to begin with.
I highly reccomend this company that I have used for several years now! Such amazing customer service, extremely knowledgeable, flexible and thorough, while paying attention to details. Mr. Bell is not only knowledgeable but goes out of his way to make his customers happy .
Great customer service. Fast response and always reliable
I needed a plumber for my backflow inspection and I emailed him for an estimate. He was quick to respond and was able to provide a date and time. When that date came, he was even early!! He was very professional and friendly. I highly recommend Durance. I would use them again

We're so fortunate to have Durance nearby! They're prompt, reasonable, professional, and always get it done right the first time. Our century-old house is full of quirky peculiarities but these folks bring exceptional creativity and elegant problem-solving to every recommendation and repair. Yesterday was the fifth time we've had them perform work over the last dozen years of homeownership and each experience has been a pleasure. Drop them a line!

Best plumbers I’ve ever used! Adam is excellent! Clean, professional, and honest! When replacing my water heater, found two other small leaks, and repair them! Highly recommend!
Awesome small business with responsive staff. The owner handles the calls and scheduling. We've been working with Mr. Durance for about 9 years with our home and a rental property. They are honest and do great work.
Matt was punctual, courteous, and efficient. Kirk texted/called right back to get the appt scheduled. Would use them again

Adam cares about his customers and does wonderful work efficiently. We have an older home that has been repaired and renovated to varying degrees; we call Durance because Adam brings his wealth of experience and patience to figure out the current problem and fix any poorly done work-arounds from previous owners. Adam always leaves our home looking better than when he arrived and leaves us feeling safer because we trust in the quality of his work. I highly recommend Durance!

Nice honest owner who has good guys working for him including Adam, his right hand man.
They were responsive to help me on many occasions
Adam at Durance Plumbing is HIGHLY recommended. I can't thank him enough for coming at a short notice to fix my main water pipes. He also inspected the plumbing for my bathroom renovation. He is reliable and very knowledgeable. Great rates and excellent service. I most certainly will use Adam again for future plumbing issues!

LOOK NO FURTHER!!! This is the plumber to hire, if you want the job done correctly and for a great price! I called them after I was disappointed by the empty promises that I received from another company. I called and learned that this is a two-man show. I described the problem and felt very comfortable with the on-the-phone diagnosis. My partially clogged basement drain was snaked and opened. The cost was discussed over the phone and there were NO HIDDEN COST. Now, the icing on the cake, the plumber was neat, polite and extremely personable. Hire, them, you will be glad you did!
I received a letter from WSSC indicating I needed to get a Backflow Inspection at my property. Durance Plumbing was super responsive, and professional. Walter came out and was so informative and helpful! If you need an easy to work with backflow inspection service you can trust, definitely go with Durance Plumbing! I would 10/10 recommend.
I am so impressed with Adam’s work! I was feeling really stressed about a clog that was proving itself to be seemingly impossible to clear, but Adam was able to quickly and efficiently find the source and fix it. He was also exceedingly polite and fair in his pricing. I highly recommend him!!
Excellent service! Got some drain cleaning done by Durance plumbing. Showed up on time, was polite, and communicated clearly.

Just completed our hot water heater replacement. The job was tough due to a tight space and older plumbing, but they cranked through and did a great job. Thanks!
Durance Plumbing has helped us out of a couple binds, most recently a clogged sewer drain. They are responsive, punctual, professional, and thorough in their work.
Fist time customer for a residential back flow preventer test in AA county. Office was responsive, convenient appointment, arrived early, professional and respectful technician. Explained what he was going to do, how and why. Fair pricing. Will use again and do recommend.

I moved to the area about a year ago and had a drip in my shower the entire time. I called Durance and they scheduled me an appointment at the beginning of the week - everyone else said it would be 2/3 weeks before someone could come out. Adam and Matt arrived early, talked me through everything they did beforehand, went to the hardware store twice, completely replaced my shower hardware, and put the bathroom back together better than they found it. The job in total took 6 hours and they did not stop once.
Quality service is hard to find, and I am fortunate that I do not have to look any further for any home repairs going forward.
This review is long overdue. We used Durance Plumbing last year and Adam specifically was really awesome. During the beginning of the pandemic with work from home, we were at the house all of the time. At some point, we had drain flies and we hired a number of exterminators to no avail, we then hired Durance and Adam did a top-notch job. He was a problem solver and we found out the source of the drain flies which was a slow leak in our upstairs bathroom's toilet causing these drain flies. Though this was an expensive repair (ripping out drywall, etc), we finally got to the bottom of the problem and it was thanks to Adam that we got it resolved. So any future plumbing issues, we will definitely be using Durance and encourage others to do that as well!

Kirk Durance is the most helpful plumber! I highly recommend him. He is knowledgeable, responsive, professional, and kind. He quickly fixed our hot water heater - which was sooo appreciated. Thank you Kirk!
We have used Durance Plumbing several times for general plumbing issues and water heater replacement. Their professionalism and workmanship are unparalleled. Adam and Matt are very trustworthy and courteous. It is comforting to know that we can count on them any time. We also had them help a senior relative with a major plumbing issue. They were incredibly patient and kind throughout the whole process. I would not use or recommend anyone else for plumbing service. They deserve ten stars in my opinion.
