2017 Installation of Disposal and drain was done very professionally and efficiently at cost of $150 with 10% Angie's List discount. In 2017 I had Ken scope with camera my main drain line and clean it. He found it needed to be repaired as our large tree's roots had caused this clay line to become misaligned at a junction point. Repairs were delayed until 2019, cost for the inspection was $288 after 10% Angie's List discount. 2018 during the day of new quartz counter tops in Hall and Master Baths the counter contractor found the shut-off valves in the hall bath was frozen. I was able to get a hold of Ken and he came out within an hour of my call and change the valves, we changed out the Master bath valves as well given they were 30 yrs old. During the Hall bath work Ken found the cast iron drain was 99% clogged. Ken replaced the interior side and cleaned the section in the wall to the exterior main drain line. In 2019 as part of remodel I had Ken repair the main drain from exit at house to interface with County Sewer drain. Thirty Two feet of clay and cast iron drain was replaced with ABS and Sewer perma-lining from side walk to County lateral approx 38 ft. The cost of $7800 included labor, materials, permits and inspections. The job was done in an efficient and professional manor. In 2020 to support refinance the underwriter required my water heater to be strapped. Ken came out and was able to accomplish what two other plumbers failed to do and do it in a manner that did not require removal of the water heater, cost $290. Ken and his Apprentice are Masters of what they do.
Description of Work: 2017 New Disposal Installation and New Kitchen Drain. 2018 Hall and Master Bath sink faucet shut off valve replacements and Hall bath drain cleanout and replacement. 2019 Main sewer replacement from house to the city sewer. 2020 Water Heater Straps Installment

After I made about about 6 attempts with various methods I decided it was time to get a pro. Ken and his helper showed up on time, put on shoe covers, covered the work area with tarps and found the clog about 35 feet into the line after a couple of attempts. Very friendly, explained the process, the work was done quickly and the price was very fair.

Came on time. At time had new bath counter tops and sinks being installed by Henderson & Sons Construction Group. They found two of my bathroom supply valves were bad and needed replacing. This turned out to be best time to get new valves installed when counter tops off. It also was best time to replace the 54 year old galvanized portion of the hall bath drain pipe as it would have been impossible once the counter top was installed. DIF replaced the 6 valves and removed the old drain pipe so fast it didn't impede Henderson & Sons contractors at all. DIF also cleaned out the 2in galvanized pipe that remained which turned out to be 99% filled with crud. Excellent job by DIF. This is 3rd time I've used DIF. They are very knowledgeable and very helpful in explaining what you might need done as when they looked at my main drain and gave me an estimate to line it and when I would probably need to have this done to avoid major repair cost not just to fixing my main drain but avoiding having to dig up my lawn to do it.
Description of Work: Replaced 6 bathroom supply valves and removed a 54 year old drain pipe in one bathroom. Provided new No Hub coupling and 45 degree ABS pipe to replace old pipe removed to support new sink hookups.

I could not be more pleased with my first-time experience with DIF Plumbing. I spoke to the owner, Ken, in the morning, and he was able to provide same-day service. He and a colleague arrived early, were both well groomed and dressed professionally, and could not have been more courteous. It was apparent that DIF takes pride in their work, and completed the job in under an hour. Upon completion, they cleaned up the bathroom perfectly, and Ken insisted on breaking down the appliance boxes, cutting up the pieces and disposing in our recycling bin. I had a few additional plumbing questions that Ken patiently answered without hesitation. A great service experience.
Description of Work: 1. Broken toilet removed & discarded. 2. New toilet installed.

Excellent!. Even though continuous rain cause the job to be done in pieces as weather allowed, Ken frequently checked back on the job, solved another drainage problem in another section without charge and EVEN solved a indoor hot water problem I was experiencing because of an earlier inept plumber. He was very careful to cut through the brickwork so it could be seamlessly repaired. Seriously, this guy cares about what he is doing and how he is doing it!. I almost don't want to write this review so that he won't be too busy the next time I need him. He is just a little more expensive than other bids, but in this case I very definitely got what I paid for. Worth every penny. A man you can trust.
Description of Work: Extensive repair of yard drainage system and installation of deco drain to avoid flooding into the house. Involved cutting through concrete and brick in several sections of the yard before installing new pipes. After installation, he poured new concrete and readied it for the brick layer.

Excellent! Leak discovered at about 930am on 29 Dec 2016 and by 11am Ken and his employee were at work replacing a pipe. The extra challenge for them was the line ran right under the landscape project that was in progress (Compressed Granite (DG) install as well as plants). They did an outstanding job in handling the DG that had to be moved as well as replacing it as best they could . Our landscaper was very impressed when he arrived a few days later to complete the project. Ken made sure to protect the recently installed drip system as well. The repair were done by 5:PM.
