Recommended Customer Reviews

Darrel was fast, flexible, and professional. A pleasure to work with, he did an excellent job on my tankless water heater install - and also corrected some issues the previous plumber hadn't called out. I'd hire him again for sure - and recommend him highly!

Darrel did the plumbing for my garage remodel and installed on-demand systems for that remodel and my main house. Darrel is knowledgable, realiable, and his workmanship is excellent. He is the first person I contact with any plumbing issues now. Highly recommended!

Here's a shout out to Darrel who relocated my tankless water heater. He got all the piping right, corrected the gas lines, crawled under my spider-ridden house and made the Country Building Inspector very happy (I had a new roof put on and found that the original heater installation, even tho permitted and signed off on, was not up to snuff...go figure...sigh).
Young, smart, fair-priced and fearless!!

Darrel put the plumbing in for our new construction. He was very knowledgable and able to make any situation that came up work out. He was also extremely easy to work with, very flexible with changes or issues that arose and showed up when he was supposed to.
Darrel was my favorite out of all our subs!

Darrel Forde is one amazing plumber...not only does he show up when he says he will...he is efficient, professional and extremely accommodating. I needed to have a leaky shower fixed in a really short period of time - after wasting two weeks waiting for service from another company. Not only did Darrel fit me into his schedule,( and on a holiday), he was able to get the parts and fix the shower in less than 24 hours. Plus he's got a good sense of humor! I would highly recommend Anchor Pipe and Drain for any plumbing needs - great work, prompt service and reasonable rates.
