The Unplugger

Patricia N.

The first time we hired Dave; we were pretty impressed. He unclogged a clog in our washing machine. He was there for hours, fixed the problem and didn't charge an arm and a leg for the service he provided. The second time we hired him, to unplug a simple clog in our kitchen sink, his son came instead and was there for 25 minutes and charged $187. I was shocked as I was expecting it to be in the neighborhood of half that, based on his website and reviews I'd read. Even our excellent plumber only charges $105 per hour. My husband demanded we stop payment on the check, which I did, with an explanatory email stating that, based on your website, and our experience with you in the past, we expected to pay this much lower amount for repair on one line and would be happy to cut another check for that sum.He said that all of the other uncloggers were charging way more than he was and were mad at him for undercharging, so he figured he would charge like prices. Needless to say, we won't be using him again.

Whenever something goes wrong with anything to do with plumbing , panic strikes and you worry who can I call, can I trust them to do the job that REALLY needs to be done and how much is it going to cost. A few years ago that happened and I called around and researched all the review sites.
I had had a slow draining bathtub for a long time and it had started to get worse. I was afraid to call a plumber because the last time I did, a high pressured salesman came out and tried to talk me into some kind of package He told me that he had a state of the art cleaning high powered something or other and if something were to break, he would be glad to take care of the problem for a charge. I said no thanks and continued to live with the problem. Eventually I had to act. I called around and spoke with several diff companies. They wanted to charge me by the hour for using some scope . . . and then I spoke to Dave (the Unplugger). He was no nonsense and no sales pressure just a straightforward manner that made me relax. Right away I began to breathe a sign of relief and felt confident I could trust him. I was right. He quoted a flat rate no matter how long it would take him and then he came out and fixed the problem for a very reasonable price. Now ......years later I had a different problem. THis time my kitchen faucet was leaking under the sink. I immediately thought of Dave and gave him a call. ONce again he quoted a flat rate and I didnt think twice. He came out, fixed my sink and I couldn't be happier. I don't worry anymore about plumbing problems. I trust Dave and hope he never retires!

Really great experience working with Dave. Would definitely call The Unplugger again. Very professional, knowledgeable, clean, efficient, and friendly. Price is much more reasonable than competing large companies that we have used before. 5 stars for sure.

Saturday request was done quickly and efficiently. Dave was friendly, worked quickly and left the work area clean.

Dave came in and fixed a leak on a bathroom sink that had not been properly installed. He is very responsive, reliable and did a great job, but be warned - his calendar fills up quickly!

Dave also came back and did additional work, helping with an entire bathroom refresh. He installed a new floor, lighting fixture, cabinet and added a tile back splash for the sink. Really outstanding work that greatly improved the look and utility of the bathroom.

Guests staying in our home clogged up our toilet. Dave came within hours when most places I called had earliest availability weeks later. When he arrived, he got straight to work and fixed the problem completely in no time. We were so impressed with Dave's communication and BEYOND grateful for the 5 star service he provided. Seriously, call Dave. You'll be happy you did.

I'd give 100 stars if I could!!! If you need a skilled, affordable, honest, super nice plumber, call Dave first!!! He will go way above and beyond to fix your problem, AND! he's super nice to boot!

Dave just spent a huge amount of time crawling around in my gross terrible tiny crawlspace to cut and repair my sewer line. The job ended up not at all being what he thought, took way longer, and was more complicated, but he stayed anyways well after quitting time to get it done for me. Such a nice guy, did very quality work, and very very reasonable prices. Very respectful of my time and my home, and called and texted a lot with updates. Dave is a gem!! I'll always call Dave from now on.

Dave saved my bacon. The Good Lady's, too.

Christmas afternoon I headed into the basement for something and found water on the floor. We get flooding down there during heavy rains but not usually from a little bit of snow. Some investigation proved this wasn't a normal flooding event. This was a backed up drain and what we were seeing was the water from the shower I'd taken earlier. Which meant other kinds of water would back up. Like when the toilet flushes.

That's right. Mr Hankey visited our basement. Just a little, thankfully. Attempts via plunger and snake were for naught and I consulted Yelp straight away.

Dave replied to my DM in 59 minutes. FIFTY NINE MINUTES. On *CHRISTMAS*. He was on site ready for bacon saving the next morning. He spent more time on the old, wacky, maintained-on-the-if-it-ain't-broke-don't-fix-it-model, addled elderly person induced clog than I did getting a hold of him. The residential service business just doesn't work like that. Except for Dave. Dave works like that.

Thank you, Dave.

Dave did a great job correcting a super slow kitchen drain at our new home, he also corrected the plumbing under the sink. He was the best price in town and also went above and beyond to check out my dishwasher as well. Super nice guy, I'll be calling him again.

Dave was awesome. He did a fantastic and thorough job, including clean up. The only downside is that it was a bit challenging to get on his calendar (the guy is super busy), but it's worth the wait. He really is skillful and takes his work seriously.
