I kicked off my plumbing path by enrolling in school, and I proudly finished second in my class. I acquired a wealth of knowledge through my work with several companies. Eventually, I launched this business, hauling tools on public transport while saving up. I invested in a truck, got my license and insurance, and set things in motion. Currently, I’m an LLC owner and I love providing help to my community.
I’m a simple guy who finds fulfillment in this trade. I entered plumbing school in 1987, and I graduated with honors, committing myself to plumbing from that point forward. I’ve put in hard work for various plumbing companies that have since closed or retired. I chose to forge my own path six years ago, and I genuinely love what I do. There have been moments when I considered quitting, yet I pushed through. I’ve had to part ways with many employees who didn’t take pride in their work like I do. I hold the belief that if you’re going to do something, do it correctly the first time. I have a passion for my work and take significant pride in it. I find joy in witnessing my customers’ satisfaction when the job is done.

I paid $9,000 to have my pipe replaced from my front of my house to the street and he destroyed my property and my neighbor's property and then said he wasn't taking away the excess soil wasn't fixing my neighbor's property told me you pour the concrete back on the sidewalk was a favor
Our interaction with this business (Robert) was truly bizarre. First, he had difficulty understanding text messages. Then, when I explained the plumbing problem via phone, as well as discussed options for him coming to look at and do the work, he said ""Take a breath, stop talking, your making my head spin."" We were so desperate to get a plumber out to our location that I let that pass. He never said he was actually coming the next morning, so I continued looking for a plumber.
At about 9 AM the next morning, we received a text msg indicating that he was ready to come, but needed an address. We were uncomfortable with this lack of communication and we had never gone over pricing for this visit, just the price for changing a failed shutoff valve - $125. We were hopeful that things would work out. So, I texted him the phone number for one of my workers, indicating that he needed to call my guy to get entry to the condo. Someone at that cell phone thanked us for the instructions. Our people waited downstairs at the loading dock, where he was supposed to enter the building, then went upstairs after not seeing him there. I received a call from the property management office stating that a plumber was waiting downstairs for us and wanted to enter the condo. I was horrified that Robert would cause a disruption by going around us and appearing at the security desk unannounced. I said OK to let him upstairs, even though Robert NEVER called our guys for entry, figuring that things could not get worse. I was wrong.
Robert never came upstairs. One of my guys went downstairs and did not see him at the front desk. Eventually, my guy saw him and started to take him upstairs. Then a security guard told Robert that he was parked illegally and had to move. Robert told my guy ""I've had enough of this. Tell Al I'm out of here."" Robert then left, leaving us without a plumber, embarrassing us in front of the condo association management, and having wasted an hour of our time.
Even worse, he sent us a bill for $125, calling it a service call fee!!! I sent him a message back stating that he had to be crazy since he never even went to the condo and failed to follow simple directions. He claimed that the condo assn told him to leave, so we owed him the money. I pointed out that they only told him to find legal parking, not to abandon the work, but he left in a huff. This man is now threatening us with collection action.
This was a nutty experience and we wish we had never encountered Robert or his company. He must be so desperate for business, given his inability to follow directions and his ill temperament, that he tries to collect when he never even went to the work site. We will pray for him. We will never pay for him.
Lara C.MTD Drain's was great to work with. They had a quick response time and were confident they could fix the problem. They were able to set up an appointment quickly and within my schedule. The day of the service, the plumber who came out was right on schedule, friendly and professional and totally solved my problem (toilet running). Will use MTD again for any plumbing issues!
Super pleased with MTD! Immediate response upon my initial request and provided a very fair price for the work. I had an issue with my garbage disposal and troubleshot it myself but it turned out to be broken. MTD showed up 24 hours after my issue and replaced the disposal in an hour. I was very happy with MTD. THANK YOU!
