We would not hesitate to recommend Danny or his company to any one.
Description of Work: A year or so agoi I used this company to fix a repair another individual had botched.I was a dialysis patient and needed a dialysis machine water line hooked up.Danny not only came and fixed the previous person's work,( it had water leaks and was damaging my house), but proceeded to get my hooked up correctly in a minimum amount of time. Fast forward to now and I was at a point where I no longer needed my dialysismachine.Since Danny had excelled last time he was here we immediately thought of using him again.This time he basically just had to undo what he had done last time.Once again he was excellent in all aspects.

I called Danny and left him a brief message and he called me back the same day. He even came out the same day to give me a free estimate on how much the job would cost. The first thing that jumped out at me when he arrived to start doing the work was that he had shoe covers with him which he put on before entering my house. I know this may not mean much to other people but I don't appreciate having someone come into my house and track it all up. You would be hard pressed to find contractors out there these days that would bother doing this unless you requested it. Now, on to the work... Danny did a great job of installing the parts and thoroughly checking everything (not to mention the fine job of cleaning up any mess that had been made) before leaving. He's very professional, punctual, and his rates are quite reasonable. It's really hard these days to find contractors out there who care about the quality of work they do and don't try to charge the customer an arm and a leg for it. I would have to say from my experience that he is one of the few who do. He's got a customer in me for any and all future plumbing needs.
Description of Work: I had a new tub/shower faucet and rough-in kit installed in my upstairs bathroom.

They pulled up the toilet, snaked the pipes, ran a rag through it several different ways. They ensured there wasn't anything in the drain causing a problem. Danny has a wealth of experience and was able to offer some ideas as to what is causing the clogging issue.

No work was ever performed. Spoke twice on the phone with contractor - first time shared that he was sick and would call back. Several days later he called back, and he was to check the calendar and call again. Call never came.
Description of Work: Called the company to have some small jobs performed. Call back was days late, promised to check calendar to perform work, and never called back. This was my first Angies List try, and haven't used it since! Waste of my valuable time.

I planned to replace an old upstairs toilet that had been leaking around the base. When I removed the old toilet, I discovered that the mounting flange was cracked. I didn't want to attempt this repair myself, so decided to call Simplistic Water Solutions based on their Angie's List rating. Danny arrived on time and soon had the broken flange replaced. I had planned install the new toilet myself, but have Danny do it since I was impressed with his repair work and found out that using his expertise for the installation would not add much to the bill. Danny did not mind that I closely watched the whole process and asked lots of questions. He was happy to explain exactly what he was doing and why. He also gave me some tool recommendations and tips for how to avoid plumbing problems in the future. I enjoyed the whole process and was very glad I called Danny rather than trying to do it myself. The total cost was $169, which was less that I expected. I highly recommend Simplistic Water Solutions (Danny McClean) as your family plumber. As other customers have said, Danny is also a fireman, so he is not always available to answer the phone and immediately respond to plumbing emergencies. But he would be my first choice for any non-emergency plumbing job.

Danny McLean did an excellent job. Everything from making the appointment and arriving on time to cleaning up after the job went well. He fully answered all questions and concerns. I found out that though he works for the county fire department, he comes from a line of plumbers and has been doing plumbing since he was old enough to crawl under a house. I was impressed enough with the experience that I asked him to come again and install a water heater that will tie in with my oil burner that heats both the baseboard hot water system as well as the domestic hot water. This will enable me to turn off the heat for the warm weather months, but which will also heat the water in the supplemental hot water heater in the colder months.
Description of Work: Danny repaired a broken vent stack in the utility room by removing it and replacing it with a shorter stack and automatic vent. He also cut the drain pipe from under the house and replaced that with a connection to the stack and to the utility sink drain pipe which he also replaced with new pipe and a new clean-out. Finally, I had him replace the age old faucet into the sink.

Danny came in February to repair a toilet in my mom's house. I knew something was wrong with the toilet, as it had overrun a couple of times and caused water damage on the ceiling below, but I had no idea what the problem was and my mom was unable, due to medical issues, to explain the issue to me. Danny was very understanding of our limitations and provided prompt, professional service to us. I was so pleased with his work that I asked him to repair a second toilet after I realized that it might have a leak. He performed excellent work again and I intend to use him for all of my Richmond plumbing needs in the future. Thanks, Danny!

Excellent work and done in the time estimated. When I requested additional work (the bathroom sink pop-up needed fixing), he was not only very accomodating, but also had the parts on his truck enabling him to complete that job during the same visit. Very impressed with Danny's integrity and knowledge.
Description of Work: Installed an additional outside water hydrant, replaced existing two hydrants and repaired bathroom sink.

Danny is GREAT - highly recommended.
Description of Work: I called Danny (at Simplistic Water Solutions) because our upstairs bathtub was leaking and the knobs on the old faucet were stripped and falling off. This is an old house and replacing the old fixtures was going to be expensive because the pipes are not easily accessible (and other old house issues). Danny identified the source of the leak, and gave me excellent advice for fixing the leak and fixture problems myself (at least temporarily until we're ready to completely renovate) -- he didn't charge me a dime for the 30 minute consult. In March 2012 a different bathtub was clogged. Danny was out of town but recommended another reputable company and told me when he'd be back in town in case I needed follow-up. I will continue to call Danny for plumbing jobs.

We noticed that there was a water leak from the ceiling of our garage, and after obtaining one rather excessive estimate from a provider given to us via our warranty company, we called this contractor to evaluate the situation. Simplistic Water solutions came to the home, tightened the water connections in our laundry room, and determined that to the source of our leak. He also evaluated ( no additional cost) a water stain found in our kitchen. Overall he only charged a small fee, but when compared to what was quoted by the warranty service provider, he saved us a bundle!! Would highly recommend him again for future repairs/ estimates.

Plumber Danny McLean (Simplistic Water Solutions) was fabulous. He is not only a very talented plumber, he was very professional, polite and respectful. And after examining all the faucets inside and outside the house, he quickly pin-pointed the spot where he suspected there was an obstruction in the pipe which was causing us to have very low water pressure. He arrived on schedule and his charges were pretty much what I had expected. As soon as he was done, the water pressure in the house was immediately back to normal. (The obstruction turned out to be on the water company's side of the plumbing and Danny told me word for word how to describe it to the water company - which was very helpful.) I highly recommend Danny and will DEFINITELY use him again for any future plumbing needs.

Danny was very courteous and prompt. He responded to my voicemail in a matter of hours and was willing to come out the same day to take a look at our problems. He was able to fix our problems immediately and then gave my husband an additional discount for being a veteran. He was great to work with and was very professional. We would definitely refer him to our friends and should we need plumbing service again, he would be the first we would call.
Description of Work: Our dishwasher was not working and we thought the valve for the water seemed frozen stuck in position. Danny was able to determine the valve was not frozen and that our dishwasher was not closing properly which then prevented the water from flowing into the dishwasher. He was able to move the dishwasher so the door would close completely. We also had a pipe that seemed to be leaking very slowly under the house. It happen to be the main pipe leading into the house. He fixed the leaking pipe and determined that the pressure valve was defective which was causing it to leak. He removed the pressure valve which has now increased our water pressure to our delight. We didn't realize how much the pressure had been reduced due to the leakage.

We had tolerated poor hot water pressure for years because proposed "solutions" from other plumbers just didn't make sense (and they hadn't even taken a look at the water heater or pipes!). We decided to call Simplistic after reading so many good reviews on Angie's List, and we are SO glad we did! Danny called back that evening; he even apologized that he might have interrupted our dinner. He came out the next day, listened carefully to our description of the problem, then disconnected the water heater from the outflow pipe and removed a meteorite-like chunk of something. Problem solved! No leaks, no mess, and a polite and helpful attitude. He also fixed a dripping outside faucet while he was here; he was done in less than 2 hours total. We do not hope to have more plumbing problems, but we will be calling Simplistic if we do.

Danny, the owner, came over on Saturday to fix a leaky bathroom faucet. This is actually the second time I have used Simplistic Water Solutions for plumbing needs. Danny called prior to arrival. He quickly fixed the problem and also observed that the bathroom light switch was 'hot'. Danny also happens to be a Fireman/EMT. We had not noticed this and really appreciate this observation. He recommended that we call an electrician to resolve. We think Danny is the best plumber we have ever met and will always call him for our plumbing needs.
Description of Work: Repair leaky bathroom faucet. Not quite sure what parts were replaced. He also made the same repair on the second sink as it was likely that the same problem would occur.

I had a dripping shower with a very difficult access issue. Simplistic Water ran an AL coupon and Danny immediately came over. His work was top-notch, and he completed the job well under the time estimated. Plumbing is my LEAST favorite home repair, and plumbers are my least favorite trade to deal with. Danny broke all the stereotypes around that and did a wonderful job! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Danny to anyone!

I noticed what I thought was a leak in the shower, with drops of water forming and moving down the wall next to the showerhead. I looked on Angie's, and selected 3 plumbers that were interested in small jobs. I was able to get in immediate contact with Danny, and he came out the next evening. It turned out the"leak" was condensation of a very fine mist coming out of my old shower head after I tried to change the direction and moved it. I had also previously purchased a new shower head and arm, and since I had a plumber coming out, spontaneously decided to change all of the fixtures. I had been thinking about changing them for a long time, and purchased a whole set of them. As it turned out. Danny found that the old fixtures had been improperly installed, and held in place by some type of indestructible cement, so that the old fixtures could not be removed without damaging the tile on the other side. Danny installed the shower head I had previously purchased, and I took the new fixtures back to Pleasant's. For me, I actually was glad to find out that it was impossible to change them, and to put closure on that idea. Prior to this, I thought "honest plumber" was an oxymoron. Danny took a real interest in my problem. I will be using him in the future.
Description of Work: Evaluate supposed leak (see below), evaluate feasibility of replacing tub fixtures, change shower head.
