I called today 4:30 PM for some information and by 5:15 Rachel had Chris and Zack here onsite providing their assessment of the situation. They had the issued resolved in no time. They did such a great job (including making friends with our 75lb dog) my wife was able to find some additional work for them in our spare bathroom. Efficient, prompt, personable and the price was competitive. We will definitely use again and refer to all of our friends.
Description of Work: Our new washer and dryer were delivered today and the delivery and installation team couldn't get the hot water line disconnected from the source. So immediately went to Angie's list and found DB.

It went very well. Only a small hole was dug down near water meter; then, modernizing tubing was inserted through old broken line. He even helped wake next door neighbor who works night shift to ask him to move car to allow contractor to use large "awl like " machine in front of our home. He also contacted water company who replaced 20+ year old meter with most current one. He gave full instructions on hot water heater he also replaced. Finally, the one hole- thank goodness my whole small lawn was not torn up to locate hole in waterline, a perk of the process used-- was filled in and grass seed put down along with hay to keep seed in place. The company was selected from 3 others due to references, the professionalism of their representative, as well as their ability to get work done the NEXT day.
Description of Work: They replaced waterline from the basement, below front lawn, to the water meter. Also, replaced inside main water turn off and worked with local water authority to replace water meter.

They were incredibly responsive, and sent out a plumber that day. I had my hot water heater installed within a few hours. The plumber was also very helpful and explained everything throughout the process.
Description of Work: When I bought my house, I knew my hot water heater needed to be replaced. It was original to the house, and almost 30 (!) years old. As I was returning from a trip out of town, my roommates texted me to let me know that there was a slow leak. Sure enough, it was time. We turned off the hot water heater at the circuit breaker, and I called DB's in the morning.

They installed a 2 inch piece of pipe and since they had a "flat fee billing rate" the repair cost over $400. It was only 2 inches and took about 10 minutes to install. They also will not warranty the work done since it was attached to an older pipe.
Description of Work: I had a pipe burst and DB was referred to me by my insurance.

Dear member, Thanks so much for your feedback and your business. I am pleased that we received A's for responsiveness, punctuality and professionalism. I am however, disappointed that we received an F for price. It appears as though we met all your expectations except for cost. I beg the question as I always do, where is the cost comparison coming from? We charge on par with our competitors. As far as the non warranty, you have what is called polybutelne piping, which was outlawed and a class action lawsuit filed and won, see link http://www.polybutylenelawsuit.com/ . For this reason we can not and will not warranty any parts or connections to said piping. We can not take the liability of the damage and the only way to ensure this does not happen is to re pipe your home with up to date, up to code piping, in which case you will receive and industry leading 5 year warranty. Here at DB's we take pride in warranting our work. There is nothing more shady then performing work, accepting payment and walking away. I understand that. But as a valued client I would like you to understand that the pipes in your home is a ticking time bomb and my blow at any time. Here is my recommendation, if you leave for any period of time like a day or more, turn the water off to your home. This will prevent a catastrophe. We had a client who's pipe busted on their 2 week vacation, upstairs, and it destroyed the entire house, Or the other solution is to re pipe you home. This is your home and most likely your largest investment, don't let all you've worked for get destroyed by an out dated pipe. Even if you never use us again, I encourage you to re pipe. Again I thank you for using us and I am glad that we can meet your expectations for all the main points that most plumbing companies can not satisfy. I am sorry you disagree on pricing. Should you have any questions feel free to contact us at customerservice"at"fixmyleaknow.com and we will take your questions immediately. Be Blessed, David Buky; President

We had a Saturday appointment for arrival between 9:00 and 11:00. Chris arrived at 9 exactly. He introduced himself and got right to work. He was knowledgeable and professional. When I scheduled the appointment Jenn was very helpful in getting all the information they needed to get the job done, so everything was done in a timely manner. We really appreciated the prompt and professional staff. They were a pleasure.

They came very quickly - I called about 8 am - they gave me a window of 10-12 & showed up just after 10. (They send an e-mail to say they're on the way.) They replaced the parts that weren't working w/top of the line new ones & gave recommendations on how to avoid other damage in the future - they were in & out in well under an hour. I've never needed a plumber before so I have no way to compare the price I paid, but I would definitely hire them again. I chose them after reading their reviews here & comparing them to other companies' reviews & ratings. They're a small local company (always my first choice when looking for contractors), were very quick to respond w/an appointment time, came on time, were very professional & very friendly. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone.

On Saturday morning, my toilet clogged (do they ever break during the week?). As I only have one toilet, this is a bit of a problem. I called several plumbers but they either were out of town, closed for the day, or wanted to charge $200 just to show up. I called DB's and a real person, Jennifer, answered the phone right away. She said they were booked but would try to fit me in. Jennifer called back very quickly and told me I could expect a plumber, Chris, between 1 and 3. Chris arrived at about 2:00. He quickly identified the problem and used a snake to drill out the clog. All told, he took about 15 minutes (or less) to fix my toilet. Both Jennifer and Chris were professional, friendly and very helpful. I cannot thank them enough for helping me out on a weekend when no one else would. Because of this, I will hire them again for future plumbing issues. My only issue is the charge of $233 to fix the clog (which took less than 15 minutes). Really?? Their usual cost is $259 but I received an Angie's List discount of 10%.

If you need a plumber, look no further. After a very bad experience with a contractor, I was a little apprehensive searching for a plumber when I recently discovered a leak in my kitchen. After reading multiple reviews on a number of plumbers I decided to choose DB's Plumbing & Drain. I was pleasantly surprised when Rachel informed me they were available to come out the same day. Rachel told me she was sending an email with a picture of the plumbing technician coming out to my residence. Tommy and Zack arrived exactly on time. With tablet in hand, they explained the troubleshooting process, potential issues which may be causing the leak, and costs associated with repair. They were very knowledgeable and professional. Once their work was complete they cleaned up, asked if I had any questions, and completed the "paperwork" and payment. The invoice was emailed to me, along with multiple pictures of the job from beginning to end. Hopefully I won't have any more plumbing issues, but if I do, I will not hesitate to call DB's Plumbing & Drain.

The were able to give me an appointment quickly and the tech arrived within the allotted time window. However, they significantly overcharge for their services. They wanted $400 to change a shower cartridge for me. The tech said it was a difficult and expensive job. In actuality it's one of the most basic and quickest jobs when it comes to fixing a leaky shower (takes about 10-15 minutes) and the part costs under $50. They also said to replace my bathtub faucet it would be an additional $230. Again, this is another 5-10 minute job and the part costs about $20. I declined their offer on service and went with another company with much more realistic rates.

Dear Member, I'm sorry our prices didn't suit your needs. The parts cost is only the tip of the ice burg. Our prices are based on what it takes to get a licensed, drug screened, background tested professional in to your home. I'm a little taken back that you gave our tech a C for professionalism when your only complaint was price. Your opinion of "overcharge" is subjected to like minded companies. We absolutely are not the cheapest company out there, but we aren't the most expensive either. You will find we are some where in the middle. We are an up front priced, flat rated company, that means the price does not change based on time or material. I'm sorry that you did not go with us, but you were under no obligation to have the services performed, and you did not. We set our prices on quality and professionalism and what it cost us to serve clients at the highest level. I'm sorry our pricing structure didn't suit your needs and I'm glad you got your problems solved. I wish you only but the best of luck. Be Blessed.

DB's has emergency service so, when the water line to my refrigerator was leaking late at night, they came out right away and replaced the line as well as the decrepit faucet that feeds it in the wall. The water line replacement moved pipes to a route under the house with no disruption to the walls. A small area about 18 inches square in the floor of the basement utility room was re-cemented, so there is no evidence of the replacement and they re-seeded the area in the front lawn that had to be dug up. This company has never failed me. They stand behind their estimates and never charge more. I highly recommend them.
Description of Work: Over a period of about 5 years, DB's has replaced the broken water line to my house, installed a new hot water heater, a new sump pump and did emergency work on a leaking dishwasher and a leaking water line to the fridge.

My wife and I found DB's on Angie's List and I assure you, their high rating is warranted. Why we desperately needed a plumber: 1.) water was bubbling from under the house 2.) we didn't know how to turn off the main from the street 3.) it was Friday afternoon First off, they were able to get to us the same day we called. Within two hours we had Chris, a bear of a man with a granite handshake, come out. He taught me how to turn the water off and on, and he helped we weigh my options regarding our time table. His main concern was long term damage to the home and foundation above water loss and other issues. He had our home-owning hearts in mind. When the day came for the work to be done, my wife and I had nothing to worry about as they handled everything. It was nearly eleven hours (we were surprised that they didn't bring a mechanical digger which would have saved everyone a few hours) but by 8ish they were done and we just had to finish up some simple paper work. We didn't have to go a night without water thanks to their knocking it out in one session. ***** READ THIS ***** This is how DB handles unforeseen problems: our pipes, soon after being replaced, began emitting a low moan like an unsexy saxophone solo. This was an issue for the cats, the neighbors, etc... and I was worried that DB would dismiss my concerns over our house being haunted by the stoned ghost of Kenny G. I emailed DB anyhow and within five hours they emailed me back (5am, I might add) and we had an appointment soon after. Chris came back out and didn't just fix the issue, he taught me how to fix it myself. And that is what set this experience above others: the issues weren't merely fixed, but I was taught how they were fixed and how to adjust them in the future. Calling DB made us better home owners.

I called to make the appointment and was shocked that I could get one for the next day and for a time that worked for me! Chris was awesome and very polite! He showed up in the window that was given to me. He was suppose to call me 15 minutes before so I could run home from work and he didn't, but called me when he realized I wasn't home and apologized that he forgot to call me earlier. He listened to what we wanted to have done. He quoted the price that it would be for the work to be completed. Did the work in record time. The price was a little more than I would have expected, but will definitely use DB's again!

Extremely well. Tommy arrived on time, literally! I didn't expect that given previous experience with "service windows" and was late. Rather than having an attitude he was very accommodating to wait for me as I was stuck in traffic. Treated my dog with respect and didn't request he be put up. Evaluated the situation and confirmed what needed to be done and performed work quickly and completely. He was very thorough in explaining what he was going to do and the costs. Would definitely hire again.
