I posted on Dunedin Florida Happenings that I needed a plumber to swap out my old water softener for a new one. Danny responded within minutes. His price was fair, and his work was outstanding. Will definitely use them again. Thanks!
Ryan and his team were very responsive and did a great job replacing a broken pipe for our hose spigot. Got here within a couple of hours, which really mattered given we had to turn our water off to stop the geyser😩 Thank you!!!
Danny came out was very professional.Did an amazing job. His price was very fair and I will definitely use these guys again.
I hired Dr. Plumbing to do the plumbing on a large remodel. They were responsive, but they kept increasing their prices along the way with "recommendations" and change orders, so we changed plumbers along the way. Unfortunately, during their work they ran the hot and cold supply lines behind the wall of this house incorrectly, which was not discovered until the end. Of course, this is a huge repair because you have to go behind the walls of the house. Dr. Plumbing refused to do it seemingly because they're upset I hired a new plumber. I now have massive problems with this house and Dr. Plumbing is refusing to fix a mistake that they acknowledged they caused.
Few things can ruin a vacation faster than a water heater going out... Glad Dr. Plumbing got their Yelp up so I could write this review! Went to Clearwater for a wedding and stayed with some friends in their in-law apartment for 3 nights. As we were rolling into town, they texted us and let us know that our shower would be cold because the water heater had gone out (not ideal when we needed to prep for the wedding the next morning, thankfully we had showered before our drive and were set for the day). I texted my old landlord who recommended Dr.Plumbing and passed along their number. We were a little hesitant because they didn't have reviews posted (and didn't even have a Yelp account up yet), but the homeowners were desperate to get someone out because the thought of giving little kids cold baths wasn't too thrilling and we took my former landlord's recommendation at face value. Dr.Plumbing gave a quote within an hour of our call and were out installing the heater same day, despite how late it had gotten while we were trying to research companies and calling around. They came by around 8 pm and we were up and running for wedding prep the next morning! Very impressed with the responsiveness and professionalism (after spending a couple hours calling around trying to get quotes and being told by other companies the earliest they could come out was 3-5 days later...). If you need quality work done fast, check out Dr. Plumbing! If I lived in the area, they would be my new go-to, and have certainly become the go-to for my friends.
I usually like to find local businesses and get a few quotes. My water heater went in the middle of the night, so had a mess in the garage and need a plumber quick. I called one of the big name businesses first to get their quotes. After getting their estimate, I decided to buy my own water heater, and check local business to do the install, now having a base price. Tristan, gave me a very reasonable quote to do the install, had no qualms about getting my own heater, and was able to schedule the service the next day, after I got my own water heater. Next day, had the water heater in house, and he arrived on time. when he opened it, it was damaged. Thought I was screwed. Tristan offered to go to his dealer and not up charge me. I agreed and when he left my house to pick up a commercial grade water heater, I left to return mine. He was back before me and already installing new one. He also installed quality parts, not the cheap flex hose. Tristan and Ryan are trustworthy, know their trade and are great people! Go local, skip the big names and trust Dr Plumber!

While out of town, I called Dr. Plumbing (727) 755-7000 after neighbors notified me water was flooding out of our lawn. I spoke to Ryan. He identified the problem, a broken potable water pipe. Apparently, Lambert's Cable Splicing, LLC ruptured a water pipe when workers installed fiber optic cable in our neighborhood weeks earlier for Frontier cable (Lambert's is reimbursing me for all costs.). The Dr. Plumbing quote, invoice, payment and receipt were effortlessly done via text messaging. Tristan, the owner, called me afterwards to explain everything. When we returned from our trip, we had water. I recommend Dr. Plumping.
Highly commend Triston for the work he did. So happy to find a professional plumber that really knows his work. Triston pinpointed the correct problem and was able to unclog our kitchen drain in a reasonable amount of time at a very reasonable $ amount. We had the unfortunate experience of hiring a commercial plumber prior to calling Triston who charged much more $ and did not unclog the same problem and actually wanted to replace pipes that would have cost us another $1300. That's when we called Dr Plumbing to get a second opinion and Triston actually got the job done. Dr. Plumbing is now our new plumber. Thank you!!!
Finally found a true plumbing professional in the Clearwater area at a competitive price. Tristan provided prompt service on short notice to help me out on an emergency hot water tank replacement that failed on my vacation property by the beach. Not only was he on time but he was early! Tristan clearly takes pride in his business with a professional looking truck, tools and uniform. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again for any future plumbing repairs and I’d recommend that you give him a call as well. For honest, experienced professional service be sure to call in the Doc!
I've had 2 emergencies with plumbing issues in which Dr Plumbing was here and inspecting and correcting the issues within hours of the problem located. In both cases, they had the fix in place within 24 hours. Their prices are very competitive and I am quite happy with their work. I've also appreciated the upfront and candid estimate on what I'll need to be thinking with for future plumbing issues as it has prepared me and so less caught off guard when they did become a situation. The owner was 100% on point.
Dr. Plumbing provides an outstanding customer services. Their teams are very responsive and very professional. I strongly recommend their services and would like to thank the owner who came to our house to assist us in replacing our water heater. It was not an easy job but their team has done a great job to remove the old 500 pounds water heater from the top floor and installed the new one for us. Their services were valuable and exceptional. We greatly appreciate their support and their services
We had an issue with a smell in the bathroom of a rental property on a Sunday before guests arrived. We called a couple places with no answer or call back. I called DR Plumbing and Danny answered, he was on a job nearby. He made it by the house quickly and diagnosed the issue. He gave me a fair price, got it fixed and we were good to go. He sent pictures of the new work and the rest of the bathroom afterwards to show how clean it was when he left. Very professional and highly recommend.
Fast, efficient and good rates. I had an emergency and the owner was over at my place within a few hours and had the fix in place by the next day. What was expected to take 2 days, they did in one day. Previously they helped with another emergency with my water heater going out and they were able to fix it within 24 hours with a replaced water heater. Owner is up front and honest on what needs to be done and his prices are very competitive.
When I would take a shower my water would leak down into my living room and I’ve had three plumbers come out and try to figure out the problem And then all of a sudden my toilet started to overflow I called Dr. plumber and they Came right out for me and figured out the problem immediately it was a clog in my mainline they fixed it for a reasonable price and I’m very happy with their service I would highly recommend
