Outstanding customer service friendly technicians and very knowledgeable
Desmond and his associate techs came out and hooked up a new, bare-bones sink with a new faucet, along with connecting the ice maker to a new under the sink water supply. Great job at excellent price.
Desmond and his team were precise, knowledgeable, swift with service and fair on pricing.
I had an outstanding experience with Drain Kings Plumbing today, and I felt compelled to share. I had a few issues going on at home—a restroom leak, a concern with my water heater, and some water showing up in my kitchen. When the technician arrived, he carefully inspected everything and quickly identified that the problems were minor and manageable. What truly impressed me was not just his expertise, but his honesty and integrity. He took the time to clearly explain what was going on with my water heater and even showed me what I could do myself to temporarily resolve the issue. After following his guidance, the leak from the outdoor pipe stopped. Here’s the part that completely surprised me: he chose not to charge me anything. In a time where most service visits come with a fee regardless, this level of honesty and professionalism is rare. He could have easily charged for the visit, but instead, he prioritized doing what was right. He also guided me on the proper long-term fix, explaining that the water heater head would need replacement and even provided a link to get the correct part. That kind of transparency builds real trust. I was genuinely willing to pay him for his time and effort, but he simply asked for a review instead. This is the kind of service that deserves recognition. Knowledgeable, honest, patient, and truly customer-focused. If you’re looking for a plumber you can trust, I highly recommend Drain Kings Plumbing. I will absolutely be calling them again for future work.
Our water heater went out after 20 years. We got the new one installed by Drain Kings. Desmond, Koefer, and David at Drain Kings Plumbing are the real deal — and I don’t say that lightly. They came out to our condo to replace our water heater and handled everything from start to finish. They showed up with all the parts and pieces already sourced and ready to go — no running back and forth, no excuses, no surprises. Just professional, efficient work done right. But what set this experience apart wasn’t just the quality of the work — it was the character of the men doing it. Before they wrapped up, they stopped and prayed with us. In a world where service has become transactional, that kind of humanity is rare and it matters. Drain Kings isn’t just a plumbing company. They’re a team of professionals who take pride in their craft and genuinely care about the people they serve. Desmond has built something special here, and it shows in every member of his crew. If you need a plumber in DFW — call Drain Kings. You won’t regret it.
Huge thank you to Drain Kings Plumbing for helping me during an emergency water leak that was damaging my floors. I had no idea where the water was coming from, but their team quickly diagnosed the problem and found a hole under my bathtub. They were professional, responsive, and very knowledgeable. Within just two days of my first call, they fixed the plumbing and installed a brand new tub. I’ve lived in my home for 32 years, and this is the first time I’ve ever had a new tub, so I’m really excited! They also helped guide me on what to ask my insurance company, which made the claims process much easier. Now I’m just waiting for insurance to complete the rest of the bathroom repairs. If you’re looking for a professional, timely, and knowledgeable plumbing company—whether you’re paying out of pocket or working through an insurance claim—I highly recommend Drain Kings Plumbing.
I have been using Dezmond for plumbing services 2020. He has serviced my rental property and my home. On Friday, Ausust, 29, 2025, I had a river of moving water all over my first floor as a result of washing clothes, my third load of 6. I purchased a wet vac and vacuum the water up. I called and texted Dezmond Saturday morning to access what caused the water damage from a plumbers perspective. He said his tech Johnathan would arrive between 3 and 5 pm Johnathan arrived at 1:56 pm. He was in a company T-Shirt, courteous, responsive, professional, and provided quality work. He identified the source of the damage, explained everytlhing along the way and he fixed the problem. His price was reasonable. I would use him again and I highly recommend his service.

I know I can always count on Desmond and the Drain Kings crew for any plumbing need. Not only is their service top-notch, but they consistently beat any competitor’s price. It’s rare to find a company that offers both quality and value like this. Highly recommend Drain Kings Plumbing to anyone looking for reliable, honest, and affordable plumbing services!
If you are looking for the best plumber in Fort Worth, look no further than Desmond and the team at Drain Kings. We were facing a scary natural gas leak that wouldn't pass city inspection right before a major cold front. After a disappointing experience with another plumber, Drain Kings came in and completely outshined the competition. They replaced our entire natural gas lines and got everything up to code so Atmos could restore our heat just in time. Huge thanks to Desmond, John, and Marcus for their professionalism and hard work. They are personable, respectful, and walk you through every step. For a fair price and top-tier quality, call Drain Kings. You won’t regret it!
I was quoted nearly $8,000 for something that didn’t need to cost anywhere close to that… After dealing with multiple companies (including one that didn’t even fix the issue), I finally found Drain Kings—and they restored my faith in honest service. Matthew and David were outstanding. They installed both of my water heaters, picked up one directly from Home Depot, and even fixed an extra plumbing issue for FREE—including picking up the part themselves. And yes—everything passed city inspection. Honest. Fair. Above and beyond. Don’t waste your time and money going anywhere else. Get at least one of your quotes from Drain Kings.
While I was out of town on a business trip, my upstairs sink overflowed. When I got home Friday, water was coming out of a water puddle in my ceiling and out of my air vent. Saturday, and HVAC person came out and said it was not the AC overflow/ secondary drain, so I called a plumber. They could not come out until Wednesday. I called Drain Kings, and they were here in less than a hour. They fixed the leak, replaced the cracked pipe, and broken seals and gaskets. I will totally recommend them to everyone I know in DFW. I’ll be calling to see if they can repair pool water fill valves later!!!
I called Drain Kings for a leak under the kitchen sink and Desmond had availability within a couple of hours. Johnathan arrived early and assessed the problem and offered his expertise. Not only did Johnathan walk me through the process of the repair, he answered my questions and offered his professional opinion about leak detection devices. After he finished, he doubled checked his work even showing how to use a device he recommended. I know I made the right call to Drain Kings and I wouldn't hesitate to call them again for my future needs.
Our home was in a panic when we woke up this morning. Our toilet, yuck, backed up into our shower, YUCK! Mr. Desmond is professional, courteous, informative, but most of all a business man of integrity and honesty. Within less than 30 minutes, he assessed the problem, identified the problem, informed me of the problem, and then fixed the problem. I do not give reviews but he was such a blessing to our home and our family, I had to give him his stellar Kudos! Please use him, you will not be disappointed. The Allison and Davis Family's
I first used Drain Kings in 2023 to have a new toilet installed. Great job! I phoned again today because I wasn't getting cold water from my kitchen faucet. Because it was a simple fix of simply turning the water cutoff valve, he asked only for a good review. Of course, I wasn't going to not pay him at all, especially given the distance he traveled. Very nice and respectful young man, and a great plumber. If you need quality work performed and want to deal with someone who conducts business ethically. then Drain Kings is the one!
They are always punctual, VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE, and they clean up after the repairs are done. I’ve used Drain Kings for at least the last 6 years. I’m a loyal customer and the owner remembers EVERYTHING about the work they’ve done to my house. I’ve had sewer lines unclogged, a new hot water heater installed, and most recently a water line leak in which they rerouted my ground line through the attic which saved in cost (no jack hammering my kitchen floor or tunneling). I’ve always been very pleased with the Drain Kings work.
