Professional, High Standards, Attention to Detail

I had two plumbing issues that needed to be addressed. I called PDM, and they sent out John Moon. From the moment of meeting Mr. Moon, I felt very comfortable with his professionalism and knowledge. My first issue was a small leak that was starting at the washing machine to the shut-off valve. John could of just tighten the bolt and left it at that, but engaged me in a discussion about looking forward at the situation. No pressure, it was my call, and I decided to err on the side of caution and just replace the valve itself. Problem solved, no more leak. My second issue was a major leak at the drain site of my bathroom sink. This was a new remodeled bathroom and I had two plumbers out trying to solve this leak. John immediately noticed that it was a poor design on the hardware of the drain located under the sink. He recommended a push-button drain stopper. I had seen these on the internet, but was unsure if they functioned better than the standard drain configuration we are used to having. After much discussion, John ordered me one to match my faucet, installed it, and I couldn't be happier. I had issues with this new sink from the get-go. I was constantly buying drain cleaners due to the constant slow draining of water. I always thought that the pipes were always backing up. It was the poor design of the German design drain that I had the contractor install during the remodel. Now, thanks to John, the water drains like a waterfall. LOVE it! My only mistake? I wasted money on having other plumbers come in an attempt to fix the drain. I could have saved $500 in the long run by just calling PDM, pay to fix the drain once, saving money in the long run. Thanks PDM and John Moon!


Response from PDM Plumbing, Heating, Cooling Since 1885:

Joan, thank you so much for taking the time to share this detailed and thoughtful review—we truly appreciate it! We're thrilled to hear that John Moon made you feel comfortable from the start and took the time to explain everything clearly, without any pressure. It's exactly the kind of proactive, forward-thinking approach we strive for: not just fixing the immediate problem, but helping customers make informed decisions that prevent bigger issues down the road. We're especially glad that the push-button drain stopper turned out to be the perfect solution for your remodeled bathroom. It's frustrating when a new setup doesn't perform as expected, and we're proud that John was able to diagnose the design flaw quickly and get it resolved once and for all—no more slow drains or wasted drain cleaner! We're sorry you had to deal with multiple visits from other plumbers before getting it sorted, but we're honored that you chose PDM in the end and that we could save you from further headaches (and expenses). Your kind words mean a lot to John and the entire team. We'll be sure to pass them along—he'll be delighted to hear how happy you are with the results. If anything else comes up (plumbing or otherwise), don't hesitate to call us first this time. ?? Thanks again for your trust and for recommending us! Warm regards, The PDM Team

Outstanding in all aspects!

Brad arrived right on time with everything he needed to start work. He greeted me with a smile and introduced himself. He explained in detail exactly what he was going to do in terms that were easy to understand and what the expected outcome would be. He is very thorough and efficient. When the work was completed, my heating system was back to working perfectly. Thank you, Brad

Customer is going to move large kitchen table directly below area and remove his own drywall for inspection once area is able to be inspected. Second issue is customer has an issue with hot and cold water mixing in home on all fixtures in master bathroom The rest of the home does not seem to be affected except for kitchen sink minimally. I was not able to get water to mix at kitchen faucet but customer told me it happens on occasion. After speaking with Chris we are going to replace the shower cartridges in master bathroom and see if this fixes the issue before proceeding further. The customer would like to replace all three cartridges upstairs and get new trim kits as well. 2 shower trims and 1 tub shower trim. Customer would like us to send him an option or 2 in brushed nickel prior to making decision on which one. The valves are pricephister and I have pics on my phone.

Commercial sewer cleaning. I sent the camera down the line from the cleanout in the women’s room, only to find it clogged upon arrival. Opened up other cleanouts to see if they were holding water to determine where the blockage was. Rodded from the cleanout in the women’s room to clear the blockage. Used the camera again to find no apparent issues with the line. Also, rodded the slop sink. Drains are flowing and I cleaned up the work areas.

Sewer and drain cleaning. The main line that the laundry and kitchen are tied into was blocked underground in either a 2 or a 4” pipe. After rodding out all the cables multiple times, the line opened, and water in the floor drain dropped. The blockage was in the branch line only, not in the main line leaving the house, because after flushing the toilets multiple times, the water level in the Sanitary line did not rise. On my first visit here last week, the blockage was before today's issue, as the water was fully backed up in the laundry tub, and the line would not drain before I rodded. Today, the laundry and kitchen were draining, but did not back up in the laundry tub or the floor drain.

Furnace repair. Inspected the furnace and found soot in the exhaust pipe closer to the chimney. Maybe it was causing the pressure switch to act up. Went through everything and tested the system 4 times. The unit is starting and shutting off automatically as it should at this time. No charge via tech.
