We had a good experience with the DC Drains team that came to fix 7ft of our sewer pipe. The team of Chuck, Yoshi and Adrian was very professional both in the manner of working as well as the explanation of the work done and how to maintain the sewer pipe after it was replaced. Good to see such work ethic from plumbers in a trade that is not very transparent at all. They went above and beyond their call of duty. Thank you.

John came to my home in the exact window I was given. He analyzed the problem immediately and was able to fix the problem on the spot because he had the exact part needed on hand. He was concerned with keeping my home clean by wearing shoe covers and cleaning his workspace thoroughly. The whole job was done efficiently, professionally and kindly. We also discussed future needs for my home and I will certainly be calling them back when it is time.

Over the weekend, I noticed a leak beneath our kitchen sink. Unable to determine the origin of the leak, I called DC Drains, who sent out one of their professional plumbers to inspect the area, Cody. Cody arrived right on time, determined that the source of the leak was the faucet, explained what the issue was, and advised me on what type of fixture I should look for in replacing the old faucet that put in 20 years of hard labor. The next day we secured our new fixture, and I contacted DC Drains to schedule installation, and on Tuesday another of their professional plumbers, John, showed up to
