What neighbors say
Mike works quickly and is transparent with pricing. He's trustworthy, reliable and brings his own shoe covers.
Had backup and they came out in half hour on a Sunday and got the blockage resolved. They cleaned up after themselves. Very very professional people.
They tell me what is worth doing or not doing, and won't try to upcharge me. The work is always great. They are my go-to!
Found my outdoor cleanout that was covered up for years and no other company could find! … They use drop cloths and clean up when they are done.
Very knowledgeable, attention to detail, extremely neat and organized. We highly recommend Plumbing Doctor.
