I was very impressed with Dr. Drain Plumbing. They were very responsive and on time to my appointment. My bathroom sink has been clogged for awhile now and I finally decided to call in the professionals. I am so glad I did, my sink is now unclogged and I could not be happier! They will definitely be my go to plumber from now on! Service: Drain cleaning

I have had Ryan from Dr. Drain out to my house on three separate occasions. All three times he was on time, friendly, and knowledgeable. He has been able to fix a couple of issues for us. The last time he came out we had water on the floor. He was able to determine that the dishwasher was leaking. He did not charge us a thing and was able to provide us with some really useful advice. I will always recommend this company as they are honest and they do excellent work.

We have relied on Dr. Drain for plumbing repair and maintenance for years, and they are inevitably reliable and provide prompt, excellent service. Ryan is a first-rate plumber. He not only does flawless work, but takes the time to explain the problem, the fix, and all of your options in a smart, articulate manner. He's always courteous and professional. I also really appreciate April, who works in the office and is often the first point of contact in reporting a problem and setting up a service call. She's friendly, efficient, and prompt. I recommend this company without reservation for consistently outstanding service at reasonable prices.

We have been have been using Dr. Drain for close to 5 years. Ryan, our normal plumber, does outstanding work. Always takes the time to do the job right. The price has always been fair and the work beyond reproach. Then over the new years holiday our hot water heater started to leak thru the ceiling. Called Dr. Drain on New Years Day and the owner came out within 2 hours of me calling and fixed the our leak. He charged me the standard price to repair/replace the value, even though he came out on a Holiday. Highly recommend them!

Great service! Very responsive and prompt. Very friendly. Good and practical advice. Highly recommend. The owner made the service call and arrived early. It was a simple fix, and so he didn't feel the need to charge me. During his visit, he noticed our water pressure to the kitchen sink was low, checked out possible causes, and gave advice on some possible fixes. He did the same when I asked about how our water is slow to warm upstairs. I would definitely use Dr. Drain again should plumbing in my house go awry.

I called Dr. Drain as my hot water heater was not working. I spoke with April on the phone and she was able to arrange for Ryan to come out to assess and fix the problem thw next morning. He came and fixed the problem quickly and professionally. I would recommend this company to anybody requiring plumbing services.

Maggie Private 12 reviews a week ago Dr Drain in Hillsborough once again was wonderful. I've had them before so I called again. City water had a seed come through and it lodged in the Flapper leaving a constantly running toilet. They gave me a window of time for the same day but came within that first hour. He found the issue instantly and showed me the seed. What I really appreciate about Dr Drain (besides that cool name) is I have learned so much. Ie: what NOT to put or flush in your toilet.

Now I really appreciate that as it proves they are on the side of we the people. After all, the more wrong stuff we put in our toilet; the more we have to call them. Not to make this review too long I'll tell you one of several things I've learned Do Not put those 'wipes' in to flush. Stick to Toilet Paper. There is a lot more they teach. 10 STARS
