It all began when Gus worked at a plumbing business in Hyattsville, Maryland.
A significant problem occurred, leading to damage from the roof down to the floor, referred to as a crack on the stack.
The plumbing system was completely inoperable.
He called the office to inquire about pricing.
The client became emotional over the steep costs, prompting the company to send a salesman to see if she could secure financing.
Unfortunately, her low income led to a denial of financing.

On that same day, Gus made the choice to quit.
Gus reached out to his friend Chuck, who was at a different plumbing company, and together they worked for 13 hours that night to excavate the rotted line and install PVC tubing, backfill, and concrete.
Having been raised by his grandparents, Gus resolved the elderly woman's issue without charging her.
In that moment, both the client and Gus found value in the unfortunate situation.
The client offered Gus something far more valuable than money: the motivation to start his own company focused on customer service.

Gus responded to my call immediately and fixed our problem in a short period of time. This was unbelievable service

Bad leak from inside the garage ceiling, called this place and they were great, starting from the actual call--Gus actually tried me back after we didn't connect right away. He also saw the note we sent to the website. He came out himself, that day, and handled it even when it turned out there were two leaks, not one. A good guy, very clear on the work and the pricing.

We called Champion as a first time customer for a sewage backup in our main line 2 weeks ago. They charged $750 to snake it out and the plumber told us he snaked it 105 feet and the problem was resolved. Less than 48 hours later it backed up WAY worse than before he supposedly fixed the problem. When I called to ask them to come back I tried explaining what happened and was hung up on. Turns out the person who hung up on me was the OWNER of the company who wld only speak w my husband. I called back a few days later and the owner laughed when I complained that they hadn't done what they claimed to do and told me he'd ""see me in Court"". Only after I told him I'm a lawyer did he suggest calling WSSC. He clearly has an issue w women, is a bully and is completely unprofessional. Oh and his plumber didn't do what he said he did. I would never use this business again!

This Company is very real. All the places I called last night that was suppose to be 24 hours wanted to schedule me for tomorrow. Not one company I called would come out last night BUT Champion. This is the company to go with Champion! he was very personal and cared about our situation. He came out and fixed the problem and the price was excellent for what he did. You can't go wrong with this company and I will use them again. I Thank you Champion.

We recently wanted to replace/ upgrade two faucets and a toilet. Spoke to Gus who was very understanding and attentive. He understood what I wanted to do and quoted me a reasonable price.
Two days later, Fedo was sent to do the job.
Fedo was polite and respectful of our home. Most of all, he completed the job professionally!
We are happy with our new kitchen and laundry faucet and new basement toilet.
I recommend this company!!

I called champion once to use them to have my shower drain unclogged. They came out and handled that efficiently. Because it was easy. Called on them a second time for another property, different location they set up the appointment with me and then no call no showed. But when I called back from another phone number they answered. So if they're not feeling the job instead of them being a man and telling you that. They will just no call no show on you. It didn't matter that I took off work and hung out at the property for no reason. Super unprofessional and definitely not reliable!! I would not recommend these guys at all. Find a real plumber.

I been having an issue with an outside drain for about 2 week now that would back up and cause my basement to flood. I first called the drain fighter jetting and drain cleaning to see if they would be able to help solve the issue. They snake my outside drain 100 ft and did some hydro washing but that didn't help solve the clog. They said it was a bad grease problem. I had to leave town on July 30 for 1 week and Yesterdays( Aug 6) after coming back from out of town I see that the basement is flooded back again so I placed a call to champion plumbing on aug 6 at 3 pm to explain my issue. Gus said that it might be possible an issue with something in the house. He was nice and estimated that the cost would be around 850$ and would do camera check for free since I been shopping around for a plumber. I scheduled an emergency service to come today( Aug 7) at 8am. So this morning I am waiting at 8 am to see when a van would pull into my drive way. 15 min pass and I'm thinking maybe they just going to be a little late. Then 8:30 am come and I gave this company a call and it goes to voice mail saying that they are out the office. I call again at 8:35 am and left a message saying that we had an emergency service appointment and to call me back with my phone #. One hour pass and is now 9:35 a.m and still no show and no one even call me back on my phone or texted. This is very unprofessional and what make it worse is that this was for an emergency service. I will no longer be using this company and will call someone else to come help me.

I do not usually write reviews but felt compelled to given our experience. Late one night, we had a pipe burst in the basement. The water was pouting in so badly that we had to call the water company to turn off the main water. So, at this point we had no running water at all in the house. We called around to different plumbing companies but was unable to get anyone to call back. Champion plumbing was the only company who returned our call and came to fix our problem. Chris was very professional, prompt, knowledgeable and reasonably priced. He fixed our plumbing in no time which prevented further problems. Hopefully, we have no further plumbing issues, but if we do, they will be my go to plumbers. If I could give more than 5 starts, I would.
