When a significant pipe failure resulted in the need to shut off water service to my home, American arrived within 30 minutes of my placing an emergency call. Other plumbers were not available for several days due to a holiday weekend. The service team was professional and worked hard to identify and solve the problem. Truly outstanding service. I couldn't be more impressed and grateful.

Our main water had to be shut off until a repair was completed. The team came out the same day to review the damage and provide an estimate. We got several estimates from other companies. American was the best price and repaired our water line the next day. The crew came back out the next day and completed the work without digging up our entire yard. They were very professional and did excellent work. We are so happy with the result and recommend to anyone that needs this repair. Thank you Dan and team!
Description of Work: Our main water line burst inside our home and the basement flooded. The main water had to be shut off until repaired. The crew had to bust open the concrete floor to inspect main water line where it came into the house. The crew also had to dig a small hole by our sidewalk where the house water line connects to county water line. After close inspection, the main line had been repaired incorrectly by another company. A new copper line was installed to prevent issues in the future. After the work was complete, the work was inspected by the county. Then the team patched the concrete inside the house and filled the hole outside and patched the grass.

American Plumbing was awesome! They kept me informed on scheduling; arrived right on time; worked quickly and efficiently; and had the entire line replaced in record time. Most impressive was that their work and clean-up were exemplary ... you can't even tell they worked in my yard. Truly exceptional service!

Called American Plumbing to schedule a meeting for a quote. This took place in a day and the quote was one of the best among several others. Picking American Plumbing was easy based on the talks I had with several neighbors. A great and quickly finished job and cleanup followed. Looking at the outside of the house, you would not have any idea the service was performed. Would use them again and recommend to others as well.

They had to excavate with 2 holes in my front yard, 1 hold in my garage floor and 1 hole in the garage/utility room. They did a great job! The yard was put back w/a minimal amount of disruption. They replaced the cement in my garage and put back the hole cover in the garage/utility room. They did a great job w/a job that can get really messy!
Description of Work: I had a water leak between my house shutoff valve to the water meter. The piping was that "bad" Quest piping. I had insurance so the piping was completely replaced.

Great job. From estimate to finish this is a professional company. Very prompt, polite, explained everything, kept in touch via text with updates (very appreciated). Crew showed up on time, ready to work. Again told me everything they were going to do, got right to work and did a great job. Had me check the water and then started cleaning up. Explained piping valves they added, Restored yard and flower beds like it never happened. Quality outfit, highly recommend, will definitely call them for future work!

The work was done on the rainy day but they all worked with positive attitude and we all had a good laughter together. Using their knowledge and trenchless technology, the team was able to make the repair less inconvenient and less expensively than other plumbing companies. Dan communicated with me whole time therefore my husband and I were able to reschedule our time in advance.
Description of Work: There was a gurgling noise in my bathroom next to the main valve inside of my house. Fairfax Water came out to check and confirmed that my water service line was leaking between the water meter and my house. I got 3 estimates and decided to go with Dan because my husband and I liked him as soon as we met him. The technique, professionalism, kindness, sense of humor and reasonable price! He had it all. In addition, Dan was highly recommended by other customers in Angie's list and my neighbors in Nextdoor.com. Dan and his team replaced section of water service under home. We do not have a basement and so the pipe was under the concrete. They had to dig the yard and break tile and concrete inside the house.

Dan was very professional and explained the options very well. We were able to device a plan that could potentially have allowed me to fix the water line but once there we realized the leak was not at the joint as it typically is and therefore we had to replace it. I was greatly impressed by the technique and technology used, the professionalism and attention to detail was second to none. My yard was minimally affected. I would compare this to a minimal invasive surgery. The crew was extremely clean. The county inspector said that he rarely sees such a great quality of work. I am very pleased and would recommend American Plumbing to anybody in need of replacing a water line. BTW, they were my choice after talking to 7 plumbing companies.

having discovered a leak in our water supply line, I called several plumbing companies, including American Plumbing. Dan gave me a very good proposal the same day. Dan and his team arrived on time the following business day. In 3 hours, they had dug two holes (one at the curb, the other near the house), replaced the water line, and put water back in service. They came back the following day after inspection and refilled the holes. I highly recommend American Plumbing. Thank you for a great job at a very good price!

Dan and his team optimistically and carefully took the time to locate the leak, saving us thousands of dollars. Not only did the work of American Plumbing save us money, but they only needed to dig 2 holes instead of ripping up our entire yard. It is this hard work, knowledge and optimism that got the job done, and got it done well. We had received another quote from another plumber and they only wanted to rip up our yard and replace the entire line. This is a clear distinction between American Plumbing and other companies. The attached image shows the extent of the work they had to do above ground.
Description of Work: We had a water line leak in our front yard. Due to Dan's evaluation of the problem we only needed to replace 30 feet of the water line, instead of the full line to the house. Two holes needed to be dug, the line was replaced, inspected and backfilled. We got a quote one day, the work was done the next day, and the backfill was completed and our yard was cleaned up immediately after the county inspection.

Dan called me while I was still on the computer to finish the data entry over a weekend. On Monday he came to take a look, in 20 min he gave me an estimate and explanined clearly. Tuesday he ordered the permit from County, Wednsday the Miss Utility done the marking Thursday the job was done smoothly on time, a crew of 6 to 7 people. Friday, county inspector approved the job, then the crew came to backfill the 2 holes, cleaned. I wish I didn't waste about 3 weeks before I found Dan Parris of American Plumbing. He is the one you can rely on and trust his crew. He said his father was in this business and he is the 2nd generation of the owner with 40 years experience.
Description of Work: The water line from the Meter to water main in my basement was leaking 8 to 19 g per hour. compares 4 contractors estimate and proposal, 1st will dig manually at $12K, 2nd offers 3 options which is the best unkown as I am confused. 3rd did not respond, 4th said it will be directional drilling at $3.8k but never gave an estimate. American Plumbing Dan Parris offered a competitive price and the confidence in the use of directional drilling to replace the leaking line as the only best way to do the job.

Fairfax Water knocked on our door informing us of a leak in our water main to our house. I left a voice mail well after hours on a Saturday, and got a reply text almost immediately. It wasn't a terrible leak, so Dan stopped by early Monday morning to inspect the issue and provide a quote. We had one other plumber come by and also provide a quote. Dan's was several thousand dollars less. Dan was able to have his crew complete the work Tuesday afternoon while I was at work. I got home and would not have known he was even here as they did such a good job of repairing the ground where they dug the whole. He sent me pictures as the work progressed as well to keep me informed of what was going on. Unfortunately, we didn't have the insurance provided by Dominion, so we had to pay out of pocket for this. But the cost was far more reasonable than what we had feared. Would highly recommend!

After receiving three estimates on replacing the main waterline from the county valve to the inside of our home, we decided to use American Plumbing Inc. Our home sits on a very long pipe stemmed lot, banked on both sides with very mature shrubs and a 250 year old oak. This would not be an easy task and our decision was not only based on pricing but also approach to method of replacement, materials used and their expertise in this type of work. American Plumbing specializes in underground waterline repair and replacement. Throughout the process from the time we called for an estimate through final county inspection and backfill, Dan and Nate were super. Dan, Nate and his crew were very knowledgeable, prompt and professional. They used the best materials available to meet our agreement and county requirement, and worked nine hours non stop to complete this job the same day. The next day after county inspection, they retuned to backfill. Our property shows minimal evidence that this work was ever done. Dan made a very stressful situation relatively painless for us. They over delivered on the agreement. We are very pleased with the final result and would highly recommend them to anyone needing this type of work.

Dan from American Plumbing came out and inspected the problem and offered a solution. Although the insurance wouldn't pay, American Plumbing worked with me on the cost to ensure wasn't too outrageous. The crew arrived promptly and took great care to not dig up my entire yard. They dug two holes in a systematic way and manually pulled the old pipe (plastic) out and then 'snaked' the copper wire in the same hole. This technique was marvelous! I was afraid they were going to have to go into my floor in the basement but outside a small hole near where the pipe enters the house they didn't. Definitely would recommend American Plumbing!

Great! Having dealt with two other insurance incidents in the last five months, I expected frustration. Not with this contractor! It was great! He responded quickly on a holiday weekend, walked me through the details, arrived on time, did a super job, and cleaned up everything. He returned to seed the affected area. I am very impressed and pleased. I highly recommend this company. He is wonderful to work with, ethical, responsive, knowledgeable, and totally helpful. He is an appreciated answer to a stressful situation. After discussing my coverage and options, I chose to upgrade the pipe, therefore I had the out of pocket expense.
Description of Work: He replaced the broken water line from the street to my house in accordance with an insurance contract.
