Mission Statement “Quality Plumbing & Backflow at a Fair Price” is both our motto and mission statement. Here at McDermott Plumbing & Backflow we strive to achieve this goal each and every day by providing both our repeat and new customers superior plumbing and backflow services at a price they can afford. Our mission statement was developed by our company founder and owner Michael McDermott when he founded the company in early 2009. Michael is the 5th generation master plumber as well as an OSU Alumni. From the time of our company’s inception Michael’s goal was to create a plumbing company like no other company before with the main focus being on the customer. To achieve this goal he structured the company in a method that does not focus on the volume of work completed but our customer’s satisfaction of the work completed. This strategic plan has allowed our company to grow significantly by earning our customers trust and therefore their business in the future. To earn each and every customers trust we promise only flat rate and honest pricing. This means, we will provide each customer with a guaranteed low price before the work is begun. Our customers agree with the philosophy that knowing the total cost of work before the job is started is a key factor in establishing trust. Along with earning our customers trust we also focus heavily on our team members. Our staff is exceedingly trained in all elements of plumbing, backflow testing & backflow prevention. Our team members are also background checked and drug tested before hiring. Furthermore, all team members are trained in house to determine each individual’s competency before being allowed to work independently. This allows our customers to be certain that every plumbing and backflow service be performed with quality you can expect and at a price you can afford by a highly trained plumbing and backflow professional.

The employee, Chris called me Friday evening to firm up the appointment. He called again on Saturday morning giving me an arrival time, which he kept. The work regarding the faucet was extensive as there was no access panel behind the shower. Chris and his helper had to put in an access panel and then replace the entire faucet and some of the plumbing. Chris gave me an estimate of 1-2 hours and the work was completed within that timeframe. Christ was very attentive to details and keeping me informed of the progress. Upon completion, he suggested I try the faucet to get used to it prior to his leaving. The work done was excellent and very professional. I will recommend McDermott Plumbing to any family or friends who need a plumbing company which goes beyond the basics to help the customer in any way they can!
Description of Work: I had a problem with obtaining hot water for my shower. Each day, I had to turn the faucet handle further and further to get a lukewarm shower. I called McDermott Plumbing on 11/14/2013 and spoke with Michael. He said that one of his employees would be able to stop by when I got home from work to check out the problem. This was on 11/14/2013. The employee checked out the entire issue and suggested that due to the extent of the issue, he would be willing to return on Saturday, 11/16/2013 and do the repair.

McDermott Plumbing was able to respond to a service call I made on November 8, 2013 and appeared at my house to start the work at 2:30 PM. I really appreciated how responsive they were. And the quality of their work met 100% of my expectation. It has been two days since they completed the work and the drain is working great. In addition, I really appreciated the professionalism of Mike and I will not be looking for another plumbing company for quite awhile.

I called on a weekend and Chris got back to me Sunday evening to schedule an appointment. He came to my house Monday afternoon and had the repair complete before 6 p.m. He worked diligently to obtain parts which he thought would be needed for the job. He was knowledgeable and very personable. He made sure the unit was working properly before he left.

The person who came was very professional and clean (wore shoe covers, covered any surfaces that might get water drops on them, etc.). The repair was much faster than the 2 hours we'd gotten the Angie's Deal for, so when it didn't quite work, he came back again without any issues and tried something else that did work. We were highly impressed with their professionalism.

It went wonderfully. He was prompt, courteous, and helpful. He tried to save money the fool thing wouldn't leak right then, and succeeded in helping me out when he took it apart and the problem was patently obvious. Very good service from a locally owned small business. I now have a plumber. :-)

Michael came over (on-time) and gave me a lot of advice regarding the kitchen sink drainage problem I was having. After a lengthy discussion, he left me with all the information I needed to make the decision to DIY or to hire him to come back and do it. Since I'll have to cut into my main plumbing drain stack, I'm going to go ahead and hire Michael to do the job for me. Will update when complete.

Michael arrived a little later than the agreed upon time but his work was very effective. He used the hose to fill the gutter drain to make sure it needed to be snaked before he proceeded with that service. He gave me a discount on the entire price of the 2 services. He quickly completed work on the bathroom drain and started on the gutter drain. While snaking the gutter drain part of the plastic pipe that enters the ground from the gutter downspout broke. He went and got a new pipe and fitting that was better quality than the original pipe, installed it, and did not charge me any extra for the materials or the time needed to repair it. That is truly going above and beyond expectations. I will certainly be calling McDermott Plumbing any time I need service.
Description of Work: Snaked the upstairs bathroom sink drain and snaked the outside gutter drain from the downspout to the street.

There has not been any further leaks. My only issue may be the cost of the parts. I have seen similar connector parts at Menards for $5 each and he charged an extra $118 for 3 but I can't say they were the same. Overall I was very happy with their work. I don't think the companies make much money on the Big Deals. Probably most of that goes to Angies. So I don't mind a reasonable extra charge if the work is done correctly.
Description of Work: There was a leak in the drain from the 2nd floor shower. I had identified the leak in the wall of the first floor bathroom below and had removed drywall. I had tried to fix the leak for several years but was not successful. I bought the Big deal and they came a couple of hours late but did not call until the time they were supposed to be there. He cut out more drywall and cut out the old section and assembled new pipes. The old pipes were black ABS and the new pipes were white PVC. He had to leave and get new special rubber/metal connectors because he said you cannot glue the different types of pipes together.

They did a very good job. They were a few hours late but did come and fix it. They had to buy the part and put it in and that was an extra $100. I cut a hole in the wall and found the leak. It was old pipe and they could not replace it and they made a Y pipe that had some sort of fasteners that sealed it so it does not leak anymore. I then fixed the drywall afterwards. Overall they did a good job.

Showed up on time. Was professional and courteous. Performed the job well, but left one aspect incomplete. The owner came out to remedy that issue and went above and beyond to address not only that, but also respond to any other plumbing related questions or issues I wanted to ask. He spent some additional time assessing and educating me about two other plumbing concerns I had. He really did not need to spend that extra time, but I could tell he was making a good-will effort due to having to come back to finish the job. I appreciated that very much.

I called and set an appointment with this company. They never showed up or called back.
Description of Work: I called this company to repair a leaky faucet and also give me an estimate for repairing a sump pump drainage problem. There was some urgency in that I was in contract to sell my house & needed to get these done. The appointment was set for 8:00 to 9:00 a.m. The representative from the company never showed up.

I purchased a coupon on Angie's list to do a toilet repair. The plumber arrived and said that the repair was not covered by the Angie's List coupon even though it clearly was. I paid $95 for the coupon and $120 for him to do the repair. It took him 20 minutes plus an $8 part. I would have been much, much better off just using my local plumber with no coupon.
