Initially the leak was difficult to find but Don and his son kept at it and they eventually found it and repaired it. I was very pleased with both their persistence and their final price, which was very reasonable.
Description of Work: Diagnosed a leaky whirlpool tub. Repaired the leak once identified.

I called DDS for a clog drain and they did clear the drain and they informed me the problem was a cracked pipe under the concrete slab in the basement. I asked for an estimate for the repair and installing the drains, and water lines for a basement bathroom. I also ask for a recommendation for a carpenter to do the bathroom. Within 2 business days I had a quote and the name of a good carpenter. I gave my approval about a week later and within 3 weeks I had my bathroom. Don and his son did an excellent job. They came in on time and on budget. They were very professional and work around our schedule. They also made great recommendations for fixtures to use. These guys were AWESOME!! .
Description of Work: Repaired a crack drainage line under the concrete slap in the basement. Installed additional drains for toilet, sink and shower. Installed water lines to the sink toilet and shower. Installed shower, sink and toilet. Installed sump pump. In summary, in addition to the repair installed all the necessary plumbing and fixtures for a basement bathroom.

The project went very well. We were kept informed of arrival times. The work was completed within 2 hours. On the day of the work, we asked if he would be able to replace the shut offs on three lines, as an additional request. It was not problem, and everything was completed efficiently and skillfully. We appreciate finding this professional with ethical and excellent standards, along with realistic and fair pricing. Thank you DDS plumbing and Angie's List!
Description of Work: We were remodeling and converting our fiberglass bath/shower to a tile shower, only. The plumbing had to be moved from the bathtub drain status to mid-floor shower drain, which involved a larger diameter pipe, etc. The basement below the project had a finished ceiling which we were told by another resource would have to be opened up to accomplish the project. DDS plumbing completed the job professionally and accurately, without disturbing the ceiling below the project. Don was professional and polite. He did a wonderful job and the tile contractor was very pleased with the work, as were we. As an additional note, the initial call was handled very politely, with consideration of our schedule.

I called DDS Plumbing in the morning and they were here in the afternoon to fix the problem. They fixed the problem in 30 minutes. They fixed everything and I was impressed with their attention to detail. I am very particular and they met all my expectations. DDS Plumbing is a family owned and operated business (father and son) that embodies the spirit what a small business should be all about....honesty, integrity, fair price, good service, etc. America would be a much better place if all businesses held these same values. I never would have found this business without the help of Angies List...so I am very grateful to Angies List! I will have DDS Plumbing do all my future pluming needs and I highly recommend them to anyone!
Description of Work: We had two drains in our upstairs bathroom that were not draining properly. While they were here they also noticed that our overflow in our bathtub was not set-up properly by our builder in that if the overflow was needed it would have flowed directly into the ceiling in the room below. Yikes! Good thing they caught this!

I, obviously, could not be more pleased. When I do really need a new water heater I know who I will call. Their work on the miscellaneous plumbing needs was top notch. They were very prompt and were able to come shortly after I called. This is the 2nd time I've used them and could not be more pleased.
Description of Work: I called DDS to replace my water heater because my heating and cooling company told me it needed to be replaced. They, of course, offered to do it but I knew to call DDS. Within minutes of looking at my water heater, DDS told me I had no need for a water heater! I have never been more grateful to have an honest contractor. Luckily, I also had a wide variety of small plumbing needs I had planned on having done while they were replacing the water heater, so they fixed two leaky drains, fixed a leaky faucet and repaired a toilet seat.

Replacement of fixtures and all associated sink plumbing, while tying in to original iron piping within the bathroom wall was a difficult project, achieved with optimum results and responsible cleanup; we were and remain VERY satisfied with the results, now "time-tested."
Description of Work: Replaced line (iron pipe, vintage 1954) from kitchen sink to main plumbing outlet from the house - a total of approximately 25 horizontal feet, together with very difficult in-wall vertical component; original piping had become 90% blocked and badly corroded, inside-out. Also replaced bathroom sink plumbing, also vintage 1954. Both jobs took more time that originally estimated, yet the company stayed with the original estimate, to my great surprise and satisfaction! The jobs were very complicated, owing to tract housing methods used in 1954 and our wishes, in the case of our bathroom sink, to keep the original iron sink, while replacing all of the plumbing and fixtures. Responsible cleanup and company disposal of extracted iron plumbing exceeded our expectations.

I was very pleased with the service, however the listing here shows this company takes all credit cards and was a factor in my decision to contact them. But when it came time for the bill, he said they don't take credit cards. He said they had asked Angie's list to remove the information that they take credit cards, but apparenlty that hasn't been done, and I see it still hasn't been removed a month later. So, very pleased with the service, and thank goodness it was only $250 and I was able to write a check (but was not planning on that immedicate expense out of my checking account). But I don't know who is at fault for not removing that from their listing.
Description of Work: My garbage disposal was not working and water was backing up into my dishwasher. He was very good at explaining the problem, offered to go pick up a new disposal, which he did and came right back. He willingly discussed the price options for that and I told him how much I would spend. Very friendly and informative and I'm happy with the results.

I emailed Don to set up an appointment. I described the problem in my email and even attached a couple photos of the inside of the toilet tanks. Don was able to diagnose the problem from my photos and we set an appointment. Don arrived promptly and was very conscientious about the work and my home. He discovered an additional problem on one of the toilets and ran to the local hardware store to get a part he needed. He was very nice -- explaining to me the work that needed to be done and helping me weigh options. He even checked out the other toilets in the house -- to make sure they weren't going to have the same troubles. I'd recommend Don very highly -- he was great.
Description of Work: Several of my home's toilets were acting up. Turns out the mechanics inside the tank needed to be repairs/replaced.

the granite installers were supposed to arrive before the plumber, so the backsplashes could be in place. Luckily the drains could be put in while waiting. We discovered after the backsplash was installed that I would not be able to use my drain pulls cause it was too close to the faucet. We did figure out that my faucets could be installed backwards to solve the problem, which took some extra time as we still wanted the hot water on the correct side. I was very happy and plan on rehiring for my whirlpool faucet replacement (changing all from brass to oil-rubber bronze) and other additional bathrooms once granite is installed.
Description of Work: Installed three faucets and three new sink drains after having new granite countertops installed in two bathrooms

Overall, my experience with DDS was a good one....they completed cleared my clogged kitchen drain...it ended up being tree roots....they were so far out in the line that i would have never been able to get it done myself. They also put a new exterior faucet on the outside. The work was done in a timely fashion and he was very thorough. My only issue was the fact that they did not show up on time, but that is the risk you take with a late afternoon appointment.
Description of Work: Snake was run through clogged kitchen sink drain and new exterior faucet/pipe placed on front of house.

The sump pump installed when the house was built nine years ago was making a funny noise Monday morning after a night in which the city got 2.5 inches of rain, and for years I'd wanted to get a backup sump pump installed, so it seemed time to call a plumber. I called Cook Plumbing and left a message, but they never returned my call, so I checked the reviews on Angie's List for a good plumber. DDS Plumbing seemed to come highly recommended, so I called them to schedule a time to check the sump pump and install a backup. I was originally scheduled for Tuesday between 1-2 p.m. I waited until 2:30, but had to get back to work, so we rescheduled and the company offered 10% off the job due to the scheduling glitch. I really think the scheduling glitch was unusual for them. Plumber arrived today a little early, which was great! He checked my sump pump, which, of course, was no longer making the funny noise and in fact seemed to be working fine. There was a lot of pea gravel in the pit, so the plumber thought perhaps the funny noise that I heard Monday may have been caused by a loose piece of gravel. He determined that my sump pump was working fine, then ran out to pick up the Zoeller backup sump pump system, and returned to install it. Between the trip to pick up the system and the installation time, it took all morning, but he only charged me for two hours of service time. The 10% off was very helpful, because I had really underestimated the cost of putting in a good sump pump backup system. He was helpful and professional and cleaned out the pea gravel that had collected in the bottom of the sump pump pit. I will definitely call DDS Plumbing the next time I need a plumber.
Description of Work: Installed a Zoeller Backup Sump Pump system, including a trickle charger and Interstate battery. Also replaced a toilet flapper.

Very prompt and friendly service. All work was completed in one hour. Plumber was very knowledgable about what to do to fix problems. The spray faucest turned out to be just a loose nut. He also gave me advice about future upgrades I was thinking of doing in the bathroom. The trip charge is very low - the lowest I've paid for any work done in my home. I would definitley use this service again.

I had a rough time getting together with them, because they are a small shop. Once we got everything nailed down and they showed up, I was very pleased with the guy doing the work and the work itself. I took him a little longer than he expected but that was the only downfall. I will use them again in the future if the need arises.

Excellent. He came in, found the ceiling access for one faucet and cut access to the other. Took them out, bought replacements and put them in. Came at 1pm and was out by 3:45. He took extra effort to have me see what was damaged. He bid one hour of labor but had to take more time to chisel a big enough hole for the replacement faucet. Final charge was for 1 1/2 hours. I was happy with his work.

Don was very responsive, quick to schedule the work and very flexible with our work schedules. He was careful to place the new line between the floor joyces so to allow for future basement finishing. I was unable to be there while he was performing the work and he was very understanding and flexible. I trusted him to perform the work unattended. He pointed out a safety concern that we may want to think about having updated. This was something I would not have otherwise known about. I appreciated the suggestion. The line was installed and looks great.
Description of Work: We had an additional outdoor gas line installed for our gas grill. The line had to be routed through the basement and then up to our back porch.
