I started this company following a drain challenge I experienced at home. We were working hard to make ends meet. The technician who came out tried to convince me I had additional issues. Not having the funds for repairs, I excavated my yard and discovered there was no problem. The real problem stemmed from another area inside the house. At that moment, I realized our small towns needed someone local who genuinely cared. I meet familiar faces in our community daily, clients I’ve been assisting for years. I find fulfillment in assisting others and feel lucky to provide for my family through this work. This is why we’ve maintained our business model over the years. I could expand with multiple trucks and employees, but we prefer to handle the work ourselves and connect with our clients directly. I’m confident that when I leave a job, it’s completed to the highest standard. Should a problem occur, I will come back to resolve it myself, rather than sending someone else.

Recommended Customer Reviews

They are the only people I call. The son didn't laugh when I had to have toilet seat removed and sprayed what I thought was WD-40 on the bolt but it was some kind of lock tight.

Great service and EXPERIENCED! Value too. Dave's drain cleaning is the BEST IN GUSTINE !! gets the job done every time.

Dave and his son showed up on time and did a great job installing my faucet. It was a simple job but the detachable head on the faucet for the sink spray didn't operate well due to manufacturer defect. Dave and his son worked with it to improve the functionality. Reliable, knowledgeable and honest with fair pricing. Read other reviews about the person in the office not returning calls and I found Martha to be friendly, efficient and professional. She even provided me with names of companies that could install a soft water system. All around nice family business you can rely on for good work at a reasonable price. So glad I have someone to turn to when I need a plumber in the future. Often a rarity nowadays!

Called this business at 9am this morning. The lady who answered the phone was very polite. She offered service for this morning. By 11 am Dave was here. He had my drain unclogged and working in no time. Also fixed it so I could easily fix myself in the future. He was prompt, courteous and professional. Rate was extremely reasonable. I would not hesitate to have them back. I have only been in Gustine for 12 years, so I don't necessarily agree with prior comment on how he treats people that are Gustine transplants. Thank you Dave.

Dave's is always our first choice. Solid service and very fair pricing! Great local couple who stay busy but always make time to help us out. They have snaked our drain, replaced our water heater, repaired our leaking toilet, and fixed our water softener.

We have had the exact same experience. We've tried to give them our business a couple times, and always wind up getting someone from out of town. No one from Dave's has EVER gotten back to us. You call Dave's and you wait and wait. You call someone from Modesto, and tgey are out that afternoon.
The only people I know that give him good reviews are people who've lived here forever. I've only been here for 11 years. I don't think we count as locals yet.

I honestly can not comment on the quality of work done by Dave's Drain & Plumbings as they have never done any work for me. What I can comment on is their customer service, which is incredibly poor! I am not sure how they remain in business! I called on a Thursday morning asking for help with my shower. The woman who answered took my information and indicated that some one would get back to me that afternoon to schedule an appointment. One week later, still no call. So, the following Thursday I called back. To woman remembered my call but failed to give me a legitimate reason why they could not call back. No big deal. She again took my information and promised that someone would call me ""soon"". One week later, what do you think? Yep, no call! Again, I'm not sure how they remain in business!
The ONLY reason I gave this place of business a one star rating is because Yelp would not allow me to post with zero stars!
