All Plumbing

Zia just left our house, and we could not be more pleased with his professional service. We had a clog that reached almost 50 feet from our basement sink. The pipe is the original pipe (59 year old house), and it was very difficult to get it removed in order to snake out the clog. Zia replaced the pipe with a new pipe that allows easy access should this happen again. He got the job done in an efficient, thorough and quality manner. He also looked at a couple of other items that Zia was able to diagnose. He will be coming back this week to take care of a leaky water valve. Going forward, should my husband and I need any plumbing, we will be calling Zia at All Plumbing to take care of our plumbing needs. And did I say the job cost less than I had anticipated. We are very pleased with Zia and All Plumbing.

OK, so let's just admit that nearly everyone has had a bad plumbing experience. So, imagine my surprise when when All Plumbing's service was so spectacular. First, let me set the stage. Thanksgiving day 2012 just as I've finished cooking, the kitchen sink stops up. Strangely enough, the water is also backed up into the bathroom that shares a wet wall. I'd spent until 2am that evening trying to manually snake it and clean it all out, but realized it was beyond my tools and skills. So, All Plumbing to the rescue.

So, I call them in the morning of Friday after Thanksgiving after getting ""we are closed for the holiday weekend"" messages from several other plumbers. My good luck as it turned out. So, I call All Plumbing and actually get someone on the phone straight away. I explained that I had to run family to the airport that afternoon, so sooner was better than later. He gave me a time window of 12-2. Imagine my surprise when he called back about an hour later and asked if 11am would be OK! Sure enough, Shakir shows up at just before 11am. WOW--EARLY! I'm already thinking this could be a good experience, but being careful to keep my expectations low given my previous plumbing experiences.

Well, again, Shakir calmly listens to the problem, and my attempts at solving it. In the end, he successfully snakes the drain (which required some very strange access methods since the 100 year old plumbing was mixed with new plumbing by a marginal plumbing renovation). But the beauty of his work was that he was focused and efficient, but also tidy and clean (having laid out protective matts before he even started work). He also not only snaked until he had cleared the blockage, but went another 25 feet or so to be sure that the drain was as clean as possible to minimize any future problems. He also replaced the trap that I had broken during my own attempts at clearing the drain.

Well, as it turns out, I had another drain that was extremely slow, so as long as he was at the house, I asked him to snake that drain as well (fully expecting to pay for it, but tired of having a powder room with a sink that didn't drain). Again, I had tried many times to clear that drain with a manual snake but had never been able to clear what appeared to be some renovation construction debris from the same renovation work before I bought the house). Again, Shakir was tidy, efficient, and went the extra mile to snake the drain much farther than the blockage just to be sure that it was thoroughly cleaned).

So, imagine my surprise when both my stepfather and I guessed the same number for the total bill and Shakir showed me a bill that was fully $200 LESS than we had both guessed given the time and work involved.

I truly can't recommend All Plumbing enough. GREAT WORK and honest prices.

TERRIBLE.....
-11:00 AM appointment ( It was specified that the building water line would be shut down from appointment time to 12:30. More than enough time to replace a cartridge for a bathtub faucet.)

-11:30 - First call to see if there's any trouble since the plumber hasn't arrived.
Reply: ""He's done with his previous job and should be there in half an hour...."" Ok, no problem...

-12:15 - Called again because he still hasn't arrived after 45 minutes (plus the original 30 minute delay). I reminded Jackie that the building main shut off was suposed to last till 12:30. The super warns he can only hold on for an extra hour.
""He's on his way and should be there on 20 minutes"" (Wasn't he 30 minutes away almost an hour ago?)

-1:15 pm Third call. - The building super has shut down the water main for the entire building for an extra hour and is getting pissed, is the plumber coming or not?
""Let me check, yes .. he's on your neighborhood already, should be there any minute...""
-1:40 pm The water main is turned back on and there's no plumber in sight.....

I understand getting caught up in a complicated previous job, the thing that gets me is the 3 times I was lied to about the time it would take him to get there. No respect for other peoples time. Unlike the plumber, I have to work the whole day to pay the bills. It would have been so easy to reschedule, but it seem they would rather have you waiting for ever.....

All Plumbing made a convenient and fast appointment time for a non-emergency plumbing fix. Technician arrived within the window. He was clean, respectful, and professional.

His recommendation was to replace the kitchen faucet due to a leak. $75 for the visit and estimate. This wrapped into the same day fee of $350 for the moen kitchen faucet (est. $150) and labor.

Those are the facts. Professional service. Next time I'll do some research on free estimates.

To be honest, I think people are sometimes shocked at plumbing prices. I'm a real estate agent and I've worked with a lot of plumbers over the years and have had a lot of unpleasant experiences. Over time I have come to know how much plumbing or contracting work should cost before even calling for a quote. That being said, I almost use All Plumbing in Arlington exclusively these days. The plumbers are friendly and reliable and all of the work done for me or my clients have been priced fairly. I trust them.

I had been having issues with my garbage disposal, as it was making funky noises, and not working properly. I called All Plumbing to see if they could come out and diagnose the problem. Upon calling and explaining the situation, they quickly set me up with a next day appointment.

The following day, the plumber showed up within the allotted time window, diagnosed the problem, and recommended my garbage disposal be replaced. He gave me a price quote, and i quickly did some price comparisons online, and thought they were very reasonably priced, and went ahead with the job. Once he got to work, he found a minor leak under my kitchen sink, and fixed it free of charge! Thank you All Plumbing! You found a life long customer! =)

All in all, these guys were great! Very courteous, professional, reasonably priced, and respectful to me and towards my house, as they wore booties upon entering, which is a big plus in my book!

True to his word, Kabir, the project manager who visited my home to assess and estimate the project, the All Plumbing, Inc. crew took good care of us.

The first two gentlemen performed the actual plumbing job, and then another two completed the concrete patchwork.

All four workers were courteous, professional, knowledgeable, and very tidy; couldn't even tell that they had been here for 8 hours.

Not only was the job done well, but it came in under budget, too! How often does THAT happen!?!?

Thank you, All Plumbing... you have our reference for sure.

Simply the best plumbing experience I have ever had. I'm a condo owner in Courthouse Arlington. I have one of those small washer/dryer closets that make every technician want to turn and run. Water was dripping from the washer connect at a rate of about a gallon every hour. The other guys who I had spent thousands buying the Boche Units, Bray and Scarff, responded like I was trying to schedule plastic surgery and suggested an appointment next spring (More on B and S later).
I called All Plumbing after hours, talked to an answering service, and received a call back in minutes from Freddy. Freddy listened to the problem, suggested steps that I could take to mitigate the issue until the next morning, and gave me a time when their technician could meet with me and the building engineer to compare notes and plan their attack.
Shakir from All Plumbing arrived in a SWAT truck and was sitting at the curb 15 minutes early after calling me 30 minutes previously so I wouldn't have to sit around for hours burning vacation time from work. Shakir entered my condo and immediately began taking off the door to the closet and carefully removing the washer unit from the cramped space insuring no damage was done to my kitchen tile. Over the next hour Shakir replaced both shut off valves installing new washer-less cold and hot spigots that looked like something from a nuclear reactor or the space shuttle. He understood that I wanted this job done right and never wanted to have to do it again. After using a torch and some solder and cleaning up real nice he replaced the unit, re-attached the bifold door making all the adjustments necessary to ensure he hung it like he found it, and wrote me the bill which was around $300.00.
Now this may seem a lot of money to those who would rather deal with ""professionals"" like those from Bray and Scary but you get what you pay for. What sealed the deal on my opinion was when Shakir apologized for my experience with the Bray and Scary technicians and reminded me that either you are a plumber or you are not a plumber and he was a plumber. He then left me with this gem ""You know the other guys had the hot water hose connected to the cold water connect."" I'd call this priceless but it wasn't of course. The Bray and Scary wreaking crew caused a leak during a repair, denied the leak, and reversed the reattachment of hoses for $220.
Shakir left with a nice tip, the amount of which I will not disclose and the manager of All Plumbing now has this stellar review to set the record straight that All Plumbing in Arlington is the only place I will ever recommend for plumbing services.

Don't ever call these people. They can't do a good job. I got a shower faucet replaced by All Plumbing in last July. Since our home water heater was kind of broke at that time (with only one heating element working) we couldn't test the hot water output from the faucet when it was installed. Later I replaced the water heater and to my dismay found that the hot water output from the faucet with the lever turned all the way to the hot side was only lukewarm. I called All Plumbing to get this problem fixed. They tried to shirk their responsibility by saying it could be a problem with the water heater installation! They wouldn't listen to the fact only this faucet is having problem discharging hot water. They said they would charge me $78 to send a technician over - to fix a faulty installation done by their own technician!

Moreover the technician didn't even properly seal the wall opening after installing the faucet. We had to do caulking around the faucet opening to stop water leaking throgh the cracks into the wall.

Terrible job All Plumbing!

i had these guys come out to fix/replace the disposal system in my kitchen sink.
i called about the price before having them come out.
the visit was a flat rate, and then the worst case scenario of replacing it was asked.
i didn't ask what kind of unit they were going to install, but the price they quoted was in line with mid-range disposal systems that i found online.

the guy that came out was on time, knowledgable, and respectful.
it was a pretty simple repair. didn't take him too long to do it.

i thought that the price was a little bit high, but i was in a hurry to get it fixed, so the price premium didn't bother me, it was affordable.
the mark up on the device that they put in for me was about 50% from what i found average online.

i'd use these guys again, and of course ask for quotes before having them do the work.
