"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."

"All Aspects Waterproofing installed a French Drain and new sump pump in my basement. The project also required adding a curb to the foundation. From the estimate to project close out, all of the employees were great to deal with - very responsive to emails and calls with questions and pro-actively called me to keep me up to date throughout the process of getting the permits and inspections, coordinating with my plumber who took out and installed new hot water heater, and coordinating with my own schedule. All of the workers who came and did the hard work were great - they worked very clean and went above and beyond helping remove items I needed to have out of the way for their work and left my basement and yard (where they needed to do some of the prep like making concrete) spotless. They were great - responsible, knowledgeable, honest, friendly, reassuring - and I would totally use them again. Also, great value."

"DMV just completed remodeling my master bathroom which included completely gutting it and redesigning to provide a new large enclosed shower. This included moving plumbing, installing new tile on the floor and throughout the walls of the new glass enclosed shower. Not only was their price fair and competitive, their design was the best of the three quotes I received. Next, they completely gutted my daughter’s bathroom and installed all new fixtures. Javier oversaw the entire month and a half project. He was very accommodating when I decided to make changes in the fixtures I had originally chosen. The job was started on time and completed before the scheduled end date. I would highly recommend DMV Kitchen and Bath to anyone considering a remodel. I couldn’t be more pleased."

"We had been having an ongoing leak coming through our ceiling that noone could seem to fix or truly take the time to locate and fix the problem but when Homeserve finally sent this plumbing company out it was a totally different experience, Connor and the other young man called ahead, arrived promptly and did a thorough job! They found the problem, fixed it, even repaired some unfinished issues the previous plumber left behind and thoroughly cleaned up behind themselves. They were professional and polite and I have nothing but positive to say about this company."

Plumbing FAQs, answered by experts

After a drain cleaning in Washington, DC, you should always keep the detailed invoice and any warranty certificates provided by the contractor. It's also wise to save the before-and-after camera inspection videos, which are standard for thorough work in DC. This documentation, along with any root treatment records, is invaluable for future maintenance, insurance claims, or when selling your home.

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?

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.

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?

Yes, completing a drain cleaning project boosts resale appeal in Washington, DC's competitive market. Providing documentation of main line health is critical for buyers concerned about expensive sewer line replacements in older homes. These records reduce home inspection concerns and are highly valued for historic properties in areas like Georgetown. It shows proactive maintenance, which is a significant selling point for any Washington home.
