Showed up on time. was through and very efficient. Have had couple of other plumbers come out & none could ever figure out why kitchen sink was continuously clogging up. Josh with DB plumbing solved an issue I've been dealing with for the 10 years I've lived here. It turned out to be a vent in the pipe. Was very impressed.
Description of Work: unclogged stoppage in kitchen sink. turned out to be studdor vent causing the issue. also replaced kitchen faucet.

Could not get a response from this provider. Sent an Angie's list message Friday morning. As of noon Monday, still no response of any sort. Tried calling also on Friday morning and Monday morning, and got a message to enter my password?? These folks might do fine work, but their response to inquiries is very poor.

They did not show up on the day promised. But when I called them the next day, they had two people out to fix within an hour. After their service, I went into a hardware store and the two parts replaced were in expensive. I was charged $185.00 for a call that took a total of thirty minutes. As a Retired teacher on a fixed income (and with expenses from Hurricane Florence), I was very disappointed with the cost, especially since they were a day late.

Response from DB Plumbing Inc
I'm sorry you had a bad experience with a plumbing company but I have no record of doing any work at this address. This review must be for another company.

I was originally told by another plumber that I needed to replace my shower because of a leaky valve and mold which meant cutting through my wall. DB plumbing was able to just put a new nozzle on and told me I did not have mold. Plumber arrived on time and was very professional.

They came exactly when they said they would and fixed the problem quickly. My husband is sick and was still asleep in master bedroom off of one of the bathrooms to be fixed. The repairman was so kind to be very quiet & never bothered my husband's sleep. The repairman was very respectful & did a great job!

Fantastic job on all projects. DB Plumbing was very professional, responsive, courteous, and respectful throughout the process. They called before they came out and arrived on time. BJ from DB Plumbing worked tirelessly to complete all projects, cleaning up as he went and taking out all used plumbing fixtures. He was also very patient and informative throughout - clearly explaining what he was doing and educating us along the way. We are extremely satisfied with the work done and will continue to call on DB Plumbing for all of our plumbing needs, to include upcoming project to replace all of our toilets. Highly recommend DB Plumbing!
Description of Work: DB Plumbing did an extensive check of our entire home's plumbing system and boiler maintenance as part of their boiler maintenance and home check special offer. We also had BJ from DB Plumbing come back again to install new faucets in our bathrooms and new shower fixtures. And, he helped us to plan our installation of new toilets throughout the house.
