This was a job my dad keep putting off until the heating season was upon him. Mel was very responsive to my call and scheduled his soonest visit. With my dad on board, Mel was able to schedule his team a week later for the job. This was the replacement job we asked for, to add more life to the house, and it was no easy task. The furnace itself had to be brought down through a tight spot, and installed in a tight spot as well with the multitude of older pipe connections. It took a team to do the job and they finished it later that same day with the heating test. Mel also had someone follow up a week later to tune and flush the system by skimming it at the boiler. My dad had been forced to manually run the previous system due to it's age and pressure leaks, but Mel was very considerate to my dad's needs and questions even though there should be little to no trouble with the new system. A job well done beyond the call.
Description of Work: Replaced end-of-life steam boiler furnace in older home for steam radiator system, including system test and follow-up to skim the system.

He was scheduled to come at 12:00, but got backed up, so her called and requested if the time could be changed to 3:00. His assistant showed at 3:00 promptly. The leak was at the shut-off valve to the washer. He had to turn off the water in the basement. After he fixed the leak in the laundry room, he went to turn on the water in the basement, and the valve dial broke. I don't know when the house was built, my parents bought it in 2004. He tried to turn off the water out front, and learned that he couldn't due to a problem caused by the water company. So he called Mel for help, and Mel arrived promptly, and both were able to fix the problem in the basement. Both were polite, friendly, and courteous. Yes I would use them again.

I woke up to a frozen, burst main line today. With subzero temperatures the past few days, many plumbers in my area have had a full plate. But Mel, his son, and his employee Chris responded and had my line fixed and heat running in my home again within three hours. They asked for a reasonable $500 deposit which is incredibly reasonable considering the main line and shut-off were frozen and leaking, and I was in danger of running out of water for my furnace. Everything was clearly explained to me. I never felt out of the loop. I felt safe with these plumbers in my home, which is always a concern, as I'm a single woman. In a pinch or four extensive home repair, I cannot recommend these men enough!
Description of Work: Professional & punctual when I had an emergency.

I have known Mel Dudeck for many years and I heard of the fine work he does. Well this summer I ran into a couple of plumbing problems. My first problem was my drainage system was in bad shape, it was leaking in my cellar in a couple of spots. The system was the old terracotta line. I called Mel the next day he was at the house and we checked the system, he stated he could replace the system, he took the time and showed me what he would take out and replace. Then he explained that he would have to set up a new line because my roof and gutter drains were running into my house and hooked up to sewer line and now that I'm going to replace the old lines he has to direct a new line outside for the roof drainage because new regulations do not allow the roof line to be attached to sewer and drain lines. Mel and his son and another helper closed up the hole in the wall from the roof drains and ran a drainage line along side of the house so it would run out into the street. He and his helpers did a great job. It only took them two days.. My second problem was my old gas furnace broke down last winter and Mel told me when I was ready just let him know. I called at the end of October and Mel met me at the house took some measurements and checked out the size and he advised me when he makes arrangements for the new furnace. When Mel called we decided on a date and on 11/08/2012 the furnace was delivered and installed in one day. The sound of steam going through the radiators and the soothing heat was wonderful. Mel, his son and helper were always on time, always courteous, happy go lucky attitude and always preformed professional work . They preformed their work and cleaned up the area before they left for the day. I'm very satisfied with the work the was done and I would highly recommend Mel for plumbing and heating jobs and if I should need more work done I will certainly call Mel Dudeck Plumbing. The cost covered both jobs...
Description of Work: In May of 2012 Mel Dudeck Plumbing replaced several feet of sewer lines and water drainage lines. The replacement of the lines took place in the cellar and to the outside for about another 40 feet. The work was not easy but the men did a professional and all went well. I explained to Mel that my furnace broke down he offered to do the work then but I was not ready at this time. He said when I was ready give him a call. In November I called Mel the next day he arrived he did what he had to do to get the job arranged and within a few days we were ready to go. In one day the furnace was delivered and installed all water and gas lines were added to and connected. Everything went well.

Mel is my plumber.He's done everything for me from put in a furnace and hot water heater to connecting and disconnecting gas pipes, to putting in a garbage disposal to fixing faucets. Mel is always prompt, punctual, professional and gives a fair price. He's come out on holidays and prioritizes his calls according to emergency. If it's the dead of winter and you have a leaky faucet you might have to wait but if you have no heat, he'll be there promptly. Mel is always professional and his son has been working with him for the past several years as he will be taking over the business one day. Mel has instilled a good work ethic in his son and his quality of work is comparable to his father's. I highly recommend both Mel and his son for any plumbing issues you may have.
Description of Work: Mel has done everything for me from put in a furnace and hot water heater to connecting and disconnecting gas pipes, to putting in a garbage disposal to fixing faucets. The last time he was here my sewer was blocked. He tried to snake it but it did not go far enough so he recommended another sewer guy to me. He did not charge for the call.
