Excellent service

Pete our service tech was great. Very knowledgeable very pleasant. My only surprise was the $89 for dispatch fee when I was told $89 was the diagnostic.


Response from PDM Plumbing, Heating, Cooling Since 1885:

Michael, thank you so much for your kind water softener service review! We're thrilled to hear that Pete was able to provide excellent service. His knowledge and pleasant demeanor are valuable assets to our team. We understand your surprise regarding the $89 dispatch fee. There might have been a misunderstanding in communication. The $89 diagnostic fee covers the cost of Pete's time diagnosing the problem on-site. The separate dispatch fee helps cover the additional costs associated with sending a technician to your location, including vehicle maintenance, fuel, and potential tolls. Would you like us to connect you with a representative who can provide a more detailed breakdown of the fees? They can also answer any other questions you may have. Thank you for your feedback and for choosing our service. We appreciate your business!

PDM expert service with high quality

I have an old home with lead drain lines that needed a replacement and I chooses PDM based on past experiences with this company. Their technician did an outstanding job with the replacement. He was fast and efficient with the work, the lead line had a number of bends that needed to be corrected with the new PVC replacement pipe. When he was done the workmanship was top notch! He also replaced a tub drain and again a great job!


Response from PDM Plumbing, Heating, Cooling Since 1885:

That's fantastic to hear Erik! We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review about your plumbing service experience with PDM. It sounds like our master plumber Pete did a great job handling the complexities of your lead drain line replacement, especially with the bends. We're glad to hear the workmanship was top-notch and that the tub drain replacement went smoothly as well. Thanks for trusting PDM!

Air conditioner clean and check

Chris came to do an air conditioner check and clean. He began promptly and explained everything to us. Once he completed that he checked our hot water heater for us. He told us it was 6 years old, and they normally last 6 - 8 years. He asked if we would like a quote for a new one, which we said yes. When he was giving us the total for the services he told us about a price that included a furnace service also, which we agreed to. Chris has done work for us before, and he was courteous, friendly, knowledgeable, answering all of our questions. In closing it was a very positive service call, as usual.


Response from PDM Plumbing, Heating, Cooling Since 1885:

Barb, thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear that Chris was able to provide you with another positive service experience. His promptness, clear explanations, and willingness to answer your questions are all qualities we strive for in our technicians. We're glad he was able to not only check and clean your AC but also give you a heads-up about your hot water heater and provide a quote for a new one. We appreciate your continued trust in Chris and our company. If there's ever anything else we can help you with, please don't hesitate to call!
