We had been having an ongoing leak coming through our ceiling that noone could seem to fix or truly take the time to locate and fix the problem but when Homeserve finally sent this plumbing company out it was a totally different experience, Connor and the other young man called ahead, arrived promptly and did a thorough job! They found the problem, fixed it, even repaired some unfinished issues the previous plumber left behind and thoroughly cleaned up behind themselves. They were professional and polite and I have nothing but positive to say about this company.
Description of Work: We had been having an ongoing leak coming through our ceiling that ended up being our master bedroom toilet. It needed multiple repairs to stop the leaking.

Fine. I was very pleased from start to finish at its different stages: clarified probable problem; inquiry about vaccination status; alert to me that the HVAC professional was on his way; greeting/introduction at the door; person was masked up & then put on booties over his shoes upon entering my residence; confirmed problem and solution; explained it to me in great detail (since I always have a LOT of questions); secured my additional fees (on-line w/receipt); ordered parts, which arrived QUICKLY; rescheduled a return-repair; fixed my water heater. ALA...I have hot water again. Easy-peezy. So grateful. In the end, we always pay for a trusted service provider. Dispatch person (one of the co-owners, Lori, was particularly empathetic to my situation as a person on a fixed income. Defininitely recommend to others.
Description of Work: Amendments to my water heater to bring it to code standards required by Maryland; then the sensing device (on/off) fixed.

Review for 10-19-20 Silver Spring, Md. home I called Douglas & Son Plumbing to replace an old frost free outdoor faucet. Shawn Douglas plumber installed the new frost free exterior faucet that was twelve inches long and inside my house installed a shut off valve; furthermore, the plumbing code recommended. He neatly cut a small square box in the panel in the Den to find the pipe. After he found the pipe he installed a shut off valve for the frost free exterior faucet. His measurement was exactly correct to find the hidden pipe behind the outdoor wall. He explained that the exterior faucet should have a separate shut off valve. He had great rapport with the customer that is me and I was impressed that he used a lever to balance the frost free exterior faucet. I do not about any customer that was not satisfied with his work but he receive a five star rating for this job.

Not good. They dug up my floor to repair a broken pipe; there was no broken pipe. Facts were misrepresented about the project. I would NOT EVER use them again.
Description of Work: Repair what they stated was a broken Pipe in my kitchen floor.

Response from Douglas & Son Services
We appreciate the opportunity to respond to this unfortunate misrepresentation of facts. W. [Member Name Removed] is a warranty insurance customer who we attempted to assist with a kitchen drain line that has failed causing years' old rancid food/grease water to back up into her home. "Snaking" the line failed and we could not inspect the line via camera due to its condition. The next step was to open the floor to find and repair the pipe which revealed that this line turned outside the back of the home to run off into what is believed to be a never serviced failing old septic/cistern system. This is an anomaly as the rest of the home's plumbing ties into public sewer. As the 3rd party contractor, we had to stop work and report to the insurance company that this line was found not to be connected to the dwellings main sanitary per Code requirement. It is our understanding that the insurance company has denied any further contract coverage because this type of line is exempted from policy coverage. It is unfortunate that we attempted to help [Member Name Removed] P., just as any other company would have done, and she in turn writes a horrible and disparaging review because she was denied insurance coverage. Unfortunately there is no easy inexpensive fix for this problem. The alternative proposal we presented was to install an ejector pit in the basement, tie the kitchen line into that pit and run the plumbing up through the basement ceiling, to the front of the home and tie it into the main sanitary for the dwelling. However, insurance would not pay for this option and therefore W. [Member Name Removed] is apparently angry with us. We did not create this situation that we were asked to help resolve. It is injudicious to say the pipe is not "broken" when the entire line has failed. At the end of the day we can fix just about anything as long as we are compensated for our services. In this case, neither the customer or the warranty company was willing to compensate us leaving our hands tied to resolve this issue for this customer.
