"They contacted me right away and had a plumber out in just a few hours (and it wasn’t an emergency repair!). Tawn was very kind and professional and repaired the toilet quickly. Very happy with Day and Night Plumber and I’ve already scheduled an appt. with them for more work!"

"While the issue was improved and water flowed more quickly down the tub drain, the problem was not completely solved. I was told the plumber would wear gloves and shoe covers. He did neither. Further, I went to check on him at one point in the house and he had his mask down during the COVID pandemic. It was $349 to snake the drain 25 feet (note it's $49 just to have them come out). Upon inspection of other issues in the house, they suggested I replace a toilet bowl at a parts + labor cost of $750-$950 depending on the bowl I selected. The plumber engaged in a debate about my desire to get a second opinion. In general, I found their pricing to be high and unmatched to the service."

"From the start, DMV was considerate and easy to work with. We chose only Angie's List contractors with A ratings, but only DMV had taken the time to read the "wish list" that we had provided. Also, they were the only contractor that included visuals in their proposal -- one to help us visualize exactly what we asked for, plus another "aspirational" version that incorporated some comments I had about what I would love do if I was unconstrained. I appreciated that.
We then worked with DMV to tailor the bid to exactly what we needed (and could afford). They were cheerful and cooperative throughout this process. When the construction began, the team communicated with us every day. The guys doing the work were a pleasure to have around. We hit some "old house" snags, and they were very flexible and had creative ideas to resolve the issues. For instance, when it became apparent that the original window frame (which had been buried) was an unusual shape, the crew suggested framing it with an interesting arrangement of tile, cut from the bullnose used for the walls, to accentuate its uniqueness. Also, when the special-sized sink that I ordered (not from the DMV showroom) arrived it was chipped, and the team patiently assessed several replacement sinks that I proposed until we found one that was just right.
Throughout the process, from our initial meeting through the finishing touches, our designer and project manager Alan was wonderful. He kept everything moving and made us feel good about our decision to go with DMV.

"Francisco did a great job on our master bathroom shower years ago, so I got a quote from him when it was time to renovate the kitchen. I immediately remembered why I had hired him the first time around. From the competitive quote through the last tile laid, he is on top of every detail and is completely transparent with cost. He gives excellent suggestions but is never pushy, respects the client's budget and timeline, and takes tremendous pride in his work. Francisco's wife Honika handles all the billing and appointments flawlessly and communicates so well. The entire crew is wonderful, too, as are the vendors who work with Francisco and his clients for cabinets, countertops, etc. I had no issues at any time with anyone or any of the products. You hear so many nightmare stories about kitchen renovations, but my kitchen is truly my dream come true. I would not hesitate to recommend Home Breakthrough (already have!) and will definitely hire them again for my next project."

Affordable Plumbers questions, answered by experts

In DC, simple plumbing tasks like faucet or toilet replacements typically finish within a day. Projects involving kitchen or bathroom renovations often require several days due to permit processing and inspections. Whole-house pipe replacement or major sewer repair can take one to four weeks, especially in historic districts where additional approvals may be necessary. Always allow extra time for permit reviews and unexpected findings.

Helpful?

For plumbing projects in Washington, PEX tubing is ideal for its flexibility and resistance to freeze-thaw cycles, making it suitable for older homes. Copper pipes perform well with local water quality, while CPVC is a reliable option for areas with temperature swings. Use mold-resistant insulation in basements and opt for low-flow fixtures to support water conservation efforts and comply with local plumbing codes.

Helpful?

In Washington, DC, pouring grease down the drain is a primary cause of recurring clogs, especially in older buildings with narrowed pipes. Flushing non-biodegradable items also strains the city's aging sewer system. Neglecting tree root intrusion, common in DC's tree-lined neighborhoods, and using harsh chemical cleaners that corrode old cast iron pipes will quickly undo the benefits of professional drain cleaning work.

Helpful?

When hiring for plumbing in Washington, prioritize contractors with proven experience in local code compliance and historic home plumbing. Verify their insurance coverage and request recent references from Washington-area clients. Ensure they understand the city’s permit process and can handle emergency repairs. Be cautious of unusually low estimates, requests for full upfront payment, or unsolicited offers, as these may indicate unlicensed or unreliable providers.

Helpful?

In DC, plumbing projects often reveal hidden issues like lead pipes or outdated sewer laterals, which can require specialized pipe replacement or abatement. Permit and inspection requirements may extend timelines, especially in historic areas. If your project uncovers water main problems or the need for electrical upgrades to support new fixtures, expect additional work. Always plan for contingencies, particularly in older or historic neighborhoods.
