About us

Wacker Plumbing was established in 1984 in the basement of a townhouse. It has grown from one man fixing faucets to one of the finest plumbing and remodeling contractors in the Northern Virginia area. Thanks to our loyal and competent staff, we will continue to grow and offer quality service at competitive prices. Our service staff has over 90 years combined plumbing experience. We pride ourselves in being honest and up front with our customers. Unlike some other companies who use "flat rate pricing", we still charge time and material for most service calls. The flat rate always has to be figured on the worst case scenario. We are only going to charge you for the time we are at your home. There is also never any travel time or trip charge. We feel this is the most fair way to charge our customers..

The only thing I would recommend with them is that you do as much of the little work as you feel comfortable with. They use "menu" pricing, and even if it takes the pro 30 minutes, you might pay a lot for it. For example if you know how to change a flush kit in a toilet, you will save a ton of money doing it yourself - it's not that hard. But, for anything you don't feel like you could do it yourself, they will do the job right, and you'll have peace of mind. That makes the cost worth it.
Description of Work: Wacker was recommended by a friend. They do good honest work, and the quality has been first rate so far. I have used them for a few jobs ranging from a new water heater to a quick install of an under sink insta-hot. I don't think they are cheap, but they do good work, so it has been worth it so far. They are also easy to deal with - both the office staff and the guys who come to the house.

The repair was perfect. The problem was diagnosed and fixed in one visit. The service man was quick to respond, diagnosed the problem very quickly, and repaired the water heater, including installation of the burner in one visit. He was considerate, clean, and knowledgable. Having used another company in the past, that was misleading, ineffective, and expensive, I so appreciate the quality work of Wacker Plumbing, as well as the ethical philosophy of the company. I'll never use anyone else.
Description of Work: Wacker Plumbing fixed my water heater. He installed a new burner and cleaned the air filter thoroughly. He educated me about my water heater model. He came the day after I called, brought the supply of parts needed, and fixed the water heater quickly. I am so grateful to have received a recommendation for this family owned business from my HVAC serviceman.

They have been our plumber for 25 years. We have always been please with their service. When they fix something, it stays fixed. We have used them on so many occasions that we can't select any one specific job that they have done for us to report on. A good summary would be that if it is plumbing related, Wacker has done it in our house. We will continue to use Wacker for any plumbing in our home.
Description of Work: We have used Wacker Plumbing since 1987 for everything from repair to replacement. We like their common sense approach to solving plumbing problems and they won't sell you anything that you don't need. We have found every member of the Wacker team to be trustworthy and personable. We are on a first name basis with Eric who is the one who usually comes to our house.

Responsiveness is one of the main reasons I like to use Wacker Plumbing. They have always responded to my requests within one work day and sometimes, the same day. The technicians have always been able to determine what the problem is and know how to solve it. Over the past several months I noticed I was having mold problem in my basement. I didn't know whether to phone a mold remediation service, foundation repair, or a plumber. I decided to call Wacker Plumbing. The technician immediately determined my sump pump was broken causing a pool of water to form under the house. He then installed a new sump pump. In addition, their prices have always been very reasonable. I recommend Wacker Plumbing without reservation.
Description of Work: I live in Ashburn, Loudoun County, VA and have used Wacker Plumbing on numerous occasions over a period of several years. Recently, they installed a new sump pump.

I first chose them because of the proximity of their office. They did a wonderful job with the tile but still had to come back to do some repairs. I would possibly use them again if I needed to.

The service went great; he even overestimated the time it would take him and he took 2 hours less. We bought the vent light and stuff like that ourselves. I will use them again in the future.
Description of Work: I used Wacker Plumbing to do three major things including putting in a vent fan/light in our master bathroom shower and using two separate switches for the light; one over the vanity and one in the shower. They also put two light switches in the main bathroom where we had only one light switch for the vent and light; they separated them. They also put in a water filtration faucet in the kitchen sink.

Tried Wacker after I tried another plumber who was unable to address all of the issues with my newly purchased house, which has 8 bathrooms (2 are half-bath). Most of the toilets didn't flush properly, the sinks had old mechanisms, some of the shower/tub drains didn't work, some of the the drain mechanisms wouldn't work, some of the fixtures were installed in a visibly incorrect manner, etc. Initially I started with a garbage disposal replacement, they did a bit of checking while they were out for that, and addressed a couple of items very quickly which the other plumber said could not be solved, which was a great first impression. Based on that, I scheduled servicing for all 8 toilets, 5 showers (master bathroom was OK), had them coordinate porcelain repair for 2 chipped tubs, & check my gas line outside. I opted to have access panels installed behind the showers so we didn't have to drill drywall in the future, and to have all of the toilet, sink, and shower fixtures updated (7 bathrooms total, 5 showers). Looking at one of our fireplaces, they filed a buildup off of a part which two prior "gas" technicians had skipped over. Overall, very professional, great people, very helpful with information & very capable. Probably more expensive because I had them order the shower/sink parts for me, but if I bought the parts myself I probably would have ordered something with lower quality components by accident. You get what you pay for, excellent work!

THE GOOD, THE BAD, but not so ugly We obtained estimates from three different contractors (all found on Angie?s List) for the total remodel of our master bathroom. Wacker was not the cheapest, but my husband had a good feeling about them after the owner came by for the estimate. The good . . . without exception, every representative of Wacker Plumbing who worked on our house was well-mannered, polite and careful to minimize the mess of the demo and all the remodel work. The tile work was meticulously done and looks absolutely beautiful. Overall, we are extremely happy with the way the bathroom turned out. The bad . . . three major problems occurred during the remodel. 1) The first and most major problem we had was when one of their plumbers worked on the pipes in the new shower and accidentally left a valve open when he left for the day. The next day, I went in to my dining room (directly below the master bathroom) and found a huge chunk of ceiling falling down with water all over my dining room and formal dining furniture. Although I was upset and very concerned that we would have a tough time getting them to take care of everything, they immediately said, ?we will make this right? - and they did. They replaced my wood floors, repaired the ceiling, sent our furniture to a professional drying facility to halt any further damage to the wood, dry-cleaned the dining room rug, sent the chairs and dining table leg to an antique restoration expert to repair the wood that was damaged by the water, and also reupholstered my six chairs (even though only three had water stains, but they did all six so they would match). The way they handled this incident should stand as a model for customer service for other plumbing companies! Stellar! 2) The second problem we had was that one of the guys scratched one section of the quartz countertop. They didn?t tell me about it (and perhaps they didn?t know), so when I found it we contacted them and they sent a guy out to buff it out. However, when it was buffed out the shiny finish was dull and it didn?t match the finish on the other piece on the countertop closest to it. They told us they could not find a piece to replace it, but when I called the retail store where we ordered it they assured me it was available, but the contractor would have to purchase a large slab just for that smaller piece and they didn?t want to spend the money. I understand that they wanted to stop spending money on repairing problems with this job because they had spent so much to fix the problems with the leak into my dining room, but that was not my problem. I paid for my bathroom to be remodeled, I purchased brand new quartz countertop and I wanted it to look good and be resolved. As a last ditch effort to save money, they proposed distressing the good countertop to match the dull countertop. I was ready for battle, but when we told them we would not settle for anything but brand new countertop, they ordered the new piece and installed it. 3) The third and final problem we had was with the heated flooring system. We had purchased much of the material for this job before we hired a contractor, but they said that they wanted to use their floor heating system (which cost twice as much as the system we purchased) because they were more familiar with it. However, when we used it the first few times we noticed that a couple of areas of the floor seemed much warmer than other areas. After measuring the temperature of the tiles, we discovered that these hot spots were 20-30 degrees hotter than the temperature we had set it for. They had to come back and cut into the wall and pull the wires for the hot spots and install a second control panel for those areas. The fix worked and it is functioning fine now, but we have two controls rather than one for the whole floor. I requested, and received, a reduction in the price of the floor heating system to match what we had paid for the first system we purchased. General concerns my husband and I had throughout the project were that the guys seemed to work SO slow. They gave us an estimated finish time of 3 weeks, but with all the delays and problems it took almost 6 months. I hate to complain about that because the end product looks so beautiful and I absolutely love it, but it?s rough to try and plan for people working in your house and balance a career. In fairness, we also had a couple of things we requested after the job started that added some time (repositioning a ceiling light and a bench frame in the shower). The not so ugly . . . I realize that if you are reading this you are probably thinking that this was a nightmare and I would never recommend Wacker Plumbing. But I don?t know how another company would have reacted to this situation and I am just thankful that they prioritized us, as their customer, and took care of everything that came up. They could have walked away, or fought us on the repairs that needed to be done - but they didn?t. They stood by their work and ?made it right,? and I am a happy customer because of it.

Showed up a little early (fantastic) did exactly what they promised, neat, professional, no fuss no muss. Knew their stuff and couldn't have been more helpful. Thanks for another terrific Wacker experience. This was for my Mother's Condo in Ashburn. I've used Wacker about 5 times over the past 5 years, always reliable and professional.

I've had problems before with this shower leaking and there is no shutoff for it. I didn't want to try and mess with it myself. Other plumbers have fixed the leak twice before but it has come back each time. I suspect that this repair will hold for a good while. The plumber from Wacker was courteous and knowledgeable. Had no trouble doing the fix.

When we realized our garbage disposal was leaking and called Wacker, they were extremely responsive, diligent and professional (as they had been when I used them in the past), came out within 24 hours and quickly replaced the disposal. A few weeks later, a handyman who was doing other work under the sink pointed out to me that the disposal had a crack running across it, assuring me he had not yet touched it. He insisted that the person who installed it must have cracked it by screwing the PVC elbow pipe too tightly to it.. I called Wacker and told them about the crack and how it was found, suggesting that the person who installed it likely cracked it. The guy who came out brought a new disposal and replaced it without charge (or challenge). He showed and clearly explained to me how it was not possible for the disposal to have broken how the handyman described. He explained that the only way the disposal could have cracked as it had was by upward pressure from underneath (e.g., to lift up the sink), which interestingly enough is what the handyman had been doing earlier as he was reattaching the sink to the granite counter top. Despite convincing me that the handyman likely broke the disposal, Wacker didn't charge me anything to replace it. In addition to their responsiveness and quality work, I am extremely impressed with their professionalism and customer service. You will probably be able to get it done cheaper by a non-licensed contractor, but these guys will do it well and in a way that makes you want to hire them again..
Description of Work: Replaced garbage disposal. The price quoted above included a replacement disposal as well as installation.

They were slow and the job took several visits, including one big push by my husband at the last appointment. It just felt as thought it should not have taken so long to find the crack in the toilet. They did have to order the hot water heater we wanted. They could not use the one they normally do due to the location of the tank in our basement. We had no problems and their price is competitive.

Both times Wacker was responsive, woman on the phone was quite knowledgable and was able to correctly diagnose our bad water pressure regulator based on my description. While neither situation was an emergency, Wacker was able to send someone within 7 days in each case. In BOTH cases, plumber arrived with parts on truck, one visit - - one fix. This is about as good as it gets in the plumbing business. I have found Wacker to be "good old-fashioned plumbers". Next time we need a plumber, we will call Wacker.
