Company Overview

When you seek reliable plumbing in Washington, DC, count on Ruth Plumbing, Heating & Cooling. We emphasize careful and prompt service.

Founded in 2004, we have grown from basic services to a reputable business. I am proud to be a journeyman plumber and gas fitter.

During my teenage years, the sound of dripping water in the bathroom caught my attention. I questioned my parents about the unaddressed issue, they told me that a plumber's visit would be too pricey. I resolved to fix it myself, despite my parents' warnings against it. After several attempts, I managed to fix it. News of my accomplishment reached our neighbors and relatives, and I received recognition. From that moment, I decided to dedicate myself to the plumbing profession. I also chose to offer my services for free to seniors and family members, while offering affordable rates to those who needed plumbing services. In time, I decided to further my education by taking classes and joining a union, that equipped me with essential skills and knowledge. My mission is to serve the community with integrity, skill, and quality workmanship, ensuring that every job is done right the first time, while working with passion.

We've had Ephrem from Ruth Plumbing replace two water heaters, one in our DC rowhouse and another in our previous Arlington condo. The rowhouse water heater replacement also involved a bunch of plumbing work in order to install a washer/dryer in the adjacent closet. Ephrem was easy to work with, we felt the prices quoted were fair, and we've been consistently happy with the results.

Great service. Super responsive and charged a fair price. Really flexible for me as I was working to repair an issue for a tenant from abroad.

Called 8:00 PM 1.3.17, a cold night. Heat wasn't working. Were told we'd have someone come by within 2 hours to check on a furnace. No one showed for roughly 2.5 hours. We called a few numbers and were told no one could make it out, so sorry. No call to inform us, no explanation, just a cancel nearly 3 hours later on a cold cold night without the courtesy of a phone call to explain why.

No thanks.

Heat went out. Ephraim was here in a little over an hour. Had heat about 40 minutes after that. I will suggest them to everybody

Today is the third time I've used Ruth Plumbing. Ephrem is on my speed dial now: Consistently better rates and very professional work and service. I sincerely appreciate the extra effort they take to keep my house clean too. They lay down blankets and use disposable booties in your house to avoid tracking dirt in and clean up afterwards. Best plumbers in DC, IMHO.

Great work!! Ephrem is an amazing plumber & HVAC man. He come out to our house back in July in middle of the night and fixed our AC unit. We was so great that we called him again for major plumbing issues in our bathroom. The man works like a charm without digging deep in your pockets.

I had a terrible experience with them diagnosing my HVAC yesterday! In addition to the language barrier making it extremely difficult for the service representative to follow my directions regarding entry into my condo building and unit, he also tried to charge $945 for a leak test that most other vendors charge $200-300 for. Total and complete waste of my $95 diagnostic fee!

I called to have a faucet in my kitchen replaced. I though overall it was great service. Very efficient, helpful and reasonably priced.

I used Ruth plumbing for leakage of faucet. It was emergent situation since my condo was already on the market for sale. I called for help around 9pm and the guy came over around 10:30p (thank god somebody can come over that fast without making an appointment).The tech then gave right diagnosis and provide option to either change the entire faucet or replace a part. The price was so reasonable for this ""emergent service"" that I just decided to go for a brand new faucet. He was so efficient and even friendly to the customer. I will definitely use Ruth Plumbing service in the future for any issues they provide. Believe me, most plumbing/HVAC/handyman service companies rip you off, which is why I fix and install things myself.

I called Ruth Plumbing when my A/C went out at 8 PM in 95 degree heat and the tech showed up within an hour. Luckily, the problem was a quick fix and was remedied within 20 minutes. The quick and efficient service was great and I would recommend to anyone in an HVAC emergency!
