Company Overview

When you seek reliable plumbing in Washington, DC, trust Ruth Plumbing, Heating & Cooling. We prioritize detailed and efficient service.

Founded in 2004, we have evolved from standard operations to a fully licensed and insured business. I am a journeyman plumber and gas fitter.

During my teenage years, I became intrigued by the dripping water noise from the bathroom. I questioned my parents about the unaddressed issue, they mentioned that hiring a plumber was too expensive. I decided to tackle it on my own, despite my parents' warnings against it. After several attempts, I succeeded. News of my accomplishment reached our neighbors and relatives, and I was acknowledged for my work. That experience inspired me, I vowed to pursue a career as a professional plumber. I decided to help seniors and family members without charge, and to charge a minimal fee for those who could afford it. After some time, I took a course and became a union member, that equipped me with essential skills and knowledge. I strive to provide the community with honest, proficient, and quality plumbing services, and to ensure that I get it right on the first try, while infusing my work with passion.

I hired Ruth Plumbing to remove a small radiator heater under the kitchen sink and cap it off to allow us to restore the floor below the sink. The company quoted me a price that did not change, arrived on time and provided excellent service. I was pleased with the service and am so glad I chose this company. I highly recommend Ruth Plumbing to any that needs plumbing services.

Had a shower valve that broke - water leaking everywhere despite my shutting off the supply. This company was over in about 15-20 minutes and was able to take some time to figure out why, fix the broken valve, and give me a heads up on some future fixes that I may encounter (since I couldn't spend the money today). Overall, reasonably priced.

I had my flue pipes rerouted and graded properly. Prior to the fix, the pipes were sagging, and were angled incorrectly thus retaining water. This resulted in my furnace shutting down during cold temperatures. So far, it's been over a week since Mr. E rerouted and properly graded the pipes. I have noticed significant improvement in the efficiency of my furnace. What I equally appreciated from this company, besides their good work, is their professionalism and courtesy. Mr. E was respectful, fair, patient and answered all my questions.

Have used them twice for HVAC service. They answered my call promptly and were at my property within hours. They are very reasonably priced and perform quality work. My HVAC was back to normal within hours.

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.
