Great company. I need a gas grill hooked up for a client. They came first to do an evaluation and an estimate. Once they scheduled, they were on time. They also corrected the existing piping. They will be my go-to guys for any more work going forward!

Thank you for taking time to provide feedback on your experience with PDM. We appreciate the chance to work for you. When you spoke with our service center over the phone we gave you a ballpark number since your project was site unseen. Sorry we did not give you a range of possible prices over the phone. We never want a customer to be surprised by a cost. The actual price is determined by the plumber once he sees the project. We've been competitively priced for 134 years when it comes to your comfort and safety. Thanks again for giving the PDM Clean Team a chance to serve.

I had to shut off water to the whole house due to the canister leaking after I had replaced the filter. I called PDM late in the afternoon and figured I would have to pay a premium rate for emergency service. The receptionist had Chris S. call me back. He explained how much it would cost for emergency service and offered to arrive at 7:00 the next morning. We decided to get by without water during the evening and overnight to save the money. Chris called in advance and arrived shortly after 7am. He quickly located a missing 0-ring which had fallen in the sump hole. Reinstalling the ring solved the problem. Chris was very cordial and professional. At my request, he explained an alternative method PDM could install for dealing with our very hard water.

Pete arrived well within the 2 hour window we were given. I even received a call from PDM's office a few minutes before the start of the window to let me know he would be a little late. That just meant he wouldn't make it when the time window started at 8am, but he was still within the window. I appreciate the company's great communication both by phone and email. Pete was efficient, professional, and personable. He did a great job! He explained the options and described how the toilet functioned compared to a newer model that PDM installed in our other bathroom in July. Although the toilet with the clog is over 30 years old, it still performed fine once Pete routed out the clog. Of course, that saved us a lot of money compared to replacing the toilet.

Hi Mr. [Member Name Removed], I checked our records and see that Rudy ran the estimate on 09/11/18 between the time frame we promised. He created the quote for you and sent it from our computer software on 09/13/18 at 11:05 am. The email would have came from dispatchatcallpdm.com (For some reason this platform does not let you use the at symbol so I typed it out). The email did not come back to that email address as undeliverable and we did not hear from you, so we assumed you received the quote and opted not to do the work with us. If you need any more information or wish to see a copy of the email we sent, please feel free to contact us at 815-726-6264. Sincerely, Jake Mahalik Vice President PDM Plumbing, Heating, & Cooling

Anthony arrived on time and quickly diagnosed our problem. In addition to repairing the leak, he recommended an American Standard toilet to replace ours which was 31 years old. We chose to do that and received one that flushes with greater force than the old one. He took our old toilet with him and left the work area very clean.

Technician was at my house at the time scheduled, he efficiently performed troubleshooting of my issue with the furnace, he explained the problem, answered all my questions concerning the repair and initiated the required repairs. My furnace required a new blower motor, they quickly found a replacement and performed the repairs. The technician also offered to provide space heaters until the repair was completed. I have used this company in the past and have never been disappointed with the quality of their service!
