I'm truly happy that I called M.D. Plumbing & Mechanical. Matt showed up approx 1 hour after my call. He was very responsive, efficient, knowledgeable/proficient, and very pleasant. I very much appreciate the work done ... and feel it is worth every penny. Matt did a great job explaining the issues we had and options for resolving them.

A friend in my building recommended MD Plumbing for my tub since taking a shower had gotten to be like taking a bath! I got a live human being on the phone right away and scheduled a visit for the next day. They resolved the problem and offered some suggestions to keep the slow drain from coming back. I highly recommend them!!
