Best Plumbing And Drain Cleaning in Washington DC

We contacted #1 DMV plumbing because the tub spout in our primary bathroom came off. This was on Nov 17. A plumber named DJ responded to our call and came out a day and a half later. He came out twice over the next few days — never arriving on time and never with the tools he needed to fix the job. He told us he'd be back on Nov 19 — a Saturday — to complete the job. We stayed home all day and he never showed up, never answered his phone, never responded to texts. When I finally got ahold of him on Sunday, his response was (direct quote): My apologies my phone was shut down yesterday. Three days later he came again (reminder: this is all to replace a broken spout), but he had bought the wrong spout. He said he'd be back the next morning at 9am, which is was Thanksgiving morning. You sure? I asked him. Three times he shook my hand and said, No problem at all, this should only take a few minutes. I'll be there. Well, on Thursday morning, he never showed up. I called him. I texted him. No response. We pushed back our plans to drive to Pennsylvania to wait for him to arrive. Nothing. To date, he's never returned our calls or texts, has never fixed the problem, and still has our original spout. Just ghosted us — and wasted a ton of our time. On top of this, it's been 12 days since we've had a working shower. I understand that things come up or schedules change; basic communication and courtesy can go a long way, but we didn't experience either of these. Steer clear of #1 DMV Plumbing. These guys are not professional or dependable.

(To make this a little more clear, we contacted #1 DMV Plumbing 12 days ago. In the attached photo, you can see the current state of our tub/shower. And we haven't heard a word from them in five days. Needless to say, we have a real plumber coming in the morning.)

This company is one I would recommend for doing drain stoppage and response to the customers in a timely manner.

I had been waiting on another company I had called several days earlier and after three days of waiting and many excuses, I had to cancel him and reschedule with this company.

Having searched Yelp for a local plumber,
I contacted Jenkins Plumming and Drain around mid morning (10:00 AM) and he gave me a time frame inwhich he would be at my home. He arrived on time, did the work needed to unclog the kitchen drain, reconnected the pipes and checked his work.

I highly recommend this company for the work he performed and the timeliness inwhich he performed his task.

Brian is first such a nice guy! He is very professional and always responsive. The process itself was long when dealing with insurance companies, but he was with me for every step along the way. I really appreciate his knowledge about his craft and he was always on time. I am very appreciative and satisfied of the work that Brian completed for me and I highly recommend Brian for any of your plumming needs!

Joseph was great. He was professional, and he was time. He fixed our water heater. The service was wonderful. His recommendation was things we actually needed.

I’ll definitely recommend this company and Joseph to my friends and family.

GEO Plumbing is our go to Plumbing Service. They are exceptional, professional and get the job done. We have had GEO plumbing do all the work we needed done since finding them. They provide excellent service and go above and beyond for us. They are fair priced and honest. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of plumbing services.

I hired this company and was initially unhappy with the service. I brought my concerns to their office and they went above and beyond in resolving my concerns and therefore have earned five stars due to their apparent dedication to customer service.

Convenient, Affordable , Experienced

My new faucet worked really well. They check if the hot/ cold water was running and for leakage etc before leaving. Great and excellent customer service and I will use again in the future.

Professional and dependable service!

I had a great experience with the plumber I hired. They were courteous, prompt, and efficiently fixed the plumbing problem. I'm highly satisfied with their service and would recommend them to others.

Came earlier than they said, quick service even with a unforeseen pipe issue and great service, friendly technician. Def recommend!!

I highly recommend Seidel Plumbing; I have had great experiences with the company and specifically the owner Otto Seidel. Reading the prior reviews I get it..Otto is an old school DC Plumber, he can come across as gruff. But, if you can handle that, call Otto. You would be hard pressed to find a better and more knowledgeable plumber in the DC area. I have a VERY complicated sewer issue, lines tied with neighbors, overgrown tree roots growing into sewer lines that have been around for over a century, DC Water aware of the longstanding problem but unwilling to fix it. It has all of the intrigue of a day time soap opera - betrayal, hope, despair... honestly, a hot mess. The only person who was able to come in, explain the issue, and put forth a workable solution was Seidel Plumbing. Otto Seidel was on a short list of plumbers recommended off the record by a foreman at DC water who has been around for over 20 years. Calling Otto was the best decision I have made in this saga. He gave me a short term solution (install and external clean out) to stop the sewage from coming up in my basement (yes, it's as disgusting as it sounds) and charged $2500, $8K less than the nearest competitor. He offered a long term solution to repair damaged parts of the sewer for $10K, which is $45K cheaper than the nearest competitor. Best of all, he showed up the day I called and he finished the job in one day. So, to reiterate, if you are looking for and are interested in paying the premium for a lovely customer service oriented experience with friendly admin and schedulers, call Magnolia - but expect to pay 3-4X the cost of the repair for that overhead. If you want an experienced DC/MD plumber who has seen it all and can do it all who will give you a fair price and an honest days work with no frills - Call Seidel Plumbing!

Their drivers are reckless. The driver of W L Gary Company, Inc. (a work van) cut me off in traffic, not using a turn signal, nearly smashing into my vehicle. The car behind me almost rear ended me because I had to slam on my brakes and swerve left (almost hitting another vehicle).
