Our condo has a "utility room" that is 10 feet above floor level, behind a small access door. I described this by phone to Mike, and he was familiar with similar units in the area. He gave a rough estimate then of $1450, which would be refined when one of his people physically inspected and took measurements. That person arrived on time, and confirmed that there was room to remove the old unit and install the slightly larger new unit. Brian and a partner returned early the next morning, exactly on time, and completed the replacement. Because it took less time than expected, they lowered the final charge to $1350. Not an easy job to remove an old short & wide unit via a ladder, and change over the hook ups in a tight space. Another reviewer said they posted a service request via the web form and got no follow up. I tried to use that and discovered that it didn't work, failing to invoke some third-party form handler service. These kind of foibles seem more common with small businesses who have someone create their minimal web site and then not maintain it. Just call them instead.
Description of Work: Replace electric water heater in 10 foot high utility area.

Awesome - Dr. Pipe has always given me good service at a fair price. They may not be the cheapest, but they are real pros. After Katrina I discovered I had a commercial sprinkler system in my ceiling. The contractor said it would take SIX WEEK to remove. I called Dr. Pipe, Steve came out and took one look and to the minute 30 minutes later it was done!!! Anything weird or really complicated is right up their alley. They are the only plumbers I really trust.
Description of Work: I had a pinhole leak in the hot water pipe behind the shower.

There's a gentleman who I specifically request for called Armond. He is very intelligent and you can tell by the look on his face that he's smart. He knows exactly what he's doing. He's able to problem solve rapidly. He's very reasonable in his prices. In opportunities where they could have overcharged me, they either did not or did it at no charge.
Description of Work: They did several small jobs such as replacing faucets and replacing drain pipes.

The toilet needed to be drained, unbolted from the floor, and object removed. Plumber Josh lied and said toilet was not flushing. The apartment complex, one of 1st Lake Properties, made me buy a new one. When called to file a complaint I was told that they would definitely call me back and they did not.
Description of Work: Installed a new toilet that was not needed.

The tech arrived and easily found that when the disposal was installed, they forgot to remove the plug. It was just my wife there so the person charged her the entire 120 for a simple 5 min fix. Felt as though they took complete advantage. Will not be using again.

I linked to Doctor Pipe's website through Angie's List. On his site, I filled out a service request form - I did not have an emergency. The form asked for my name, address. phone and email. This was about 3 weeks ago and no one has called, emailed or dropped by the house. Maybe since it wasn't an emergency, 3 weeks is not a long time to wait. But I at least expected a phone call to discuss my plumbing problem. Even if they get in touch now, I doubt that I will use them. A phone call is all I asked - very unprofessional.
Description of Work: The provider never contacted me after I filled out an online non-emergency request form.

This was a very inconsistent leak. I had waited a week or so before calling Dr. Pipe because it didn't leak every time I showered and I wasn't sure what was happening. Josh had to cut a hole in the wall of the other room in order to access the plumbing and then with visual inspection and a video camera, he traced the leak to the waste and overflow, which he replaced. He double checked to make sure the shower didn't leak anymore before he left. He also fixed a wobbly toilet while he was waiting to see if there was any more shower leakage. But the next day when I showered, the leak was back. Smaller puddle than previously, but it was still there. Josh came back the next day and replaced the tub faucet and stem gaskets for no charge. The leak hasn't reappeared. I don't have any problem with his not finding all of the leaks the first time since as I said, the leak was very inconsistent. He was very friendly and explained things as he went along, and when he came the second time, he still had a hard time finding it because it was so small. But he did it and now I plan on having Dr. Pipe do some more major work on my bathroom very soon. Their prices seem fair and the work is excellent.
Description of Work: The tub/shower was leaking onto the floors of that bathroom and the bathroom on the other side of the wall. He traced the source of the leak and replaced the waste and overflow to stop it.

Overall excellent service. Were on site within an hour of a Sunday 9:30 AM call. Quickly diagnosed the problem, repaired it, and explained the source and how to prevent it from happening again. Extremely professional, quick, and articulate service man (Armand). Hard to think of any way a main house sewer connection block at 9 AM on Sunday could have gone any better.

They came out and gave me a good bid on the job. I then called and emailed them saying lets do it and set up a time. They never got back in touch with me. Waited about 3 days and called again. They said they would get back in touch with me to set up a time. They never did. Waited another few days and called them again. Said they would call me back and set up a time but they never did. I even signed a contract with them to start work but they are too irresponsible to respond. Hate to give companies bad reviews, I mean I really hate to, but I am getting sick and tired of losers and they do deserve it.
Description of Work: Irresponsible. Did nothing.

I called Dr Pipe on a Saturday because of an emergency. I was hoping to get some one to show up within 24 to 36 hours. Was I surprised when they showed up in less than an hour.The problem was identified and repaired in a totally professional manner. I will call them again in the future. I recommend them to others.

I was impressed by their service because I was able to call on Sunday to schedule for Monday. When they found the problem to be worse than expected, they were kind enough to allow me to purchase the hot water heater elsewhere since I didn't have the money for one from them and rescheduled for the next day. Also, the repairman prioritized his time perfectly, he drained the old water heater while making the minor bathroom repairs. I was pleasantly surprised by the cost of replacement and repairs. They did an excellent job and I am thrilled to have them as my new plumber. Plumbers that make repairs is/was hard to come by in our area, most only want to do new construction. And the two that I've used in the past that do repairs cost a fortune and I cannot get service after hours. It's wonderful that Doctor Pipe is in our area!
Description of Work: Replaced old hot water heater with a new one purchased at Home Depot. Also, fixed dripping faucet and repaired toilet guts for easier flushing.

Unit 1: The toilet was moving around so I was not sure if the bolts were broken or just loose. The technician pulled the toilet, replaced the floor bolts and wax ring and then shimmed the toilet. Unit 2: I had replaced the hot and cold stems but was unable to fix a slow leak with the hot side of the shower. The technician pulled the stems, replaces the o-rings and replaced the plastic inserts that the tenant had broken from turning the faucets too tight. The work performed was done professionally and the technician took the time to explain to the tenant how to properly work the shower faucets without breaking them again. I was actually more impressed that when I first called Dr Pipe and explained the situation with my shower faucets, he suggested that I wait to schedule an appointment since in his experience, it could take sometime for the new o-rings to and quot;break-inand quot; and the leak would have possibly stopped. I appreciated the honesty but wanted to have it taken care of immediately which they did.

Doctor Pipe was prompt, and did the job quickly. The guys were friendly and explained the issue and what they were doing clearly. The only issue was they left a bit of a hole and a mess from excavating and since someone else fixes the broken up cement, it took a few weeks to completely finish the job

They came out when I called them. I have used them several times since February 2012. In fact, recently I called them again in July to come back out. Now I am not wanting to pay this bill until I receive my dvd.
Description of Work: They dug up and replaced the broken pipe and installed a 2 way cleanout for my townhouse building Supposedly, they re-ran a video and found a 15 foot belly in the outside line.They recommended replacing that line. I paid this bill when I received the invoice. Today is July 22, 2012, I am still waiting for my dvd from Dr. Pipe so I can decide how to make my repairs to my townhouse building. I have called numerous times since February. They still have not sent me the dvd. About a month ago I spoke to Mike about the dvd. He gave me numerous excuses, he has been out of town, somebody in his family died, etc. I am not interested in any excuses at this point. I just want my dvd.

Response from Doctor Pipe
We have done everything possible to appease this situation, including the scheduling of a free re video of this line the only problem I see with this interaction has been the lack of a dvd from the first job, it was new video equipment and a dvd is not the usual product, a print out with detail images from the video is what this equipment produces. The actual tunnel work was done to code and on time. And you have already scheduled a new (FREE) video inspection on your line.

They arrived when they said they would, fixed the problem quickly and were very neat with their work. This is probably the fourth time I have used them, and I will definitely use them again!
Description of Work: I have used Dr. Pipe on several occasions. My most recent was to fix a flooded hot water heater due to rain coming in through my vent pipe. Dr. Pipe quickly fixed the hot water heater and added a cap to the exhaust vent so I will not have the issue again.

We have noticed the water pressure dropping in the kitchen and it has recently become very annoying.
