Dan's Plumbing and Septic performed plumbing repairs on my older home on six different occasions. On each service call, Mark arrived on time. Mark is a master plumber--both a skilled technician and a true artisan in his craft. He quickly diagnoses the plumbing issue, takes the time to clearly explain the work to be done, executes the repair efficiently, ensures everything functions properly before leaving, and the workspace is left very clean. Pricing is very reasonable. I highly recommend Dan's Plumbing and Septic to anyone in need of reliable and professional plumbing services. Customer satisfaction and quality workmanship are top priorities for this company.
