“Our water heater needed to be replaced immediately and my current plumber decided to price gouge due to the urgency of the matter. I called Dr. Drip the same day, Nick, the owner, came to the house within 1 hour, assessed the situation and provided a substantially better price.. Best part...Nick sent Mike over with the new tank and it was completed that day. They were professional, courteous, and left the work …”
“As the owner of 130 year old home, it’s difficult to find a good plumber who’s able to old plumbing & antique fixtures. I received a prompt call back from Dr Drip & great service from Evan & Tim. They were able to replace an old cast iron overflow & waste pipe without damaging my antique cast iron tub & also handled a few other repairs. I highly recommend them!”
