There are a lot of plumbers in Philadelphia. Here's why families and businesses keep calling us back.
David McCotter has been doing this for over 20 years. When you call, you talk to the person who shows up. No dispatch center, no strangers.
We quote before we touch anything. Ever. Parts are listed separately in writing. The price we quote is the price you pay.
Plumbing waits for no one. We answer the phone and prioritize your emergency — not your place in a 3-day queue.
Most plumbers won't quote until they're standing in your home with tools out. We're different.
"Pipe burst in our basement at 7am on a Thursday. David was there by 9:30am. Had it fixed and cleaned up by noon. He even swept up before he left. The man is a professional in every sense of the word."
"Called about a sewer smell coming from the basement. David came out, figured out it was a dry trap in a floor drain, explained everything to me, and fixed it in 20 minutes. Didn't try to upsell me on anything. Refreshing."
"We needed a full bathroom roughed in for a basement conversion. David quoted us fair, showed up on time every day, and passed inspection on the first try. We've referred him to three neighbors already."
Turn off your main water shutoff valve immediately — it's usually in your basement or utility area. Then call us at (803) 221-7013. While you wait: mop up standing water if safe to do so, and move valuables away from the wet area. Don't use electrical outlets near the water.
