Testimonials from our clients

Very happy with the work that I done today to fix some issues that were causing a nuisance. Elvis did an amazing job. He was prompt, thorough, kind and explained his process in detail which I appreciate very much as a first time home owner who doesn't know a whole lot about plumbing/home repairs. Would highly recommend and I'm keeping the contact information saved in case of future needs (I hope that won't be the case) Thanks Elvis!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Mika, for such a great review. It was a pleasure for us to read it! Thanks for the recommendations as well.
Had a clog in the pipe under my kitchen sink. Elvis was very nice and informative in explaining the situation on what the issue was and how to further prevent it in the future. The service to fix the problem was quick and not a big mess. Highly recommended.
Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing your positive review. Let us know if we can help you. Sincerely, Dr. Pipe.
I am beyond happy with the toilet replacement service done by Elvis! He was very nice, explained everything. It's an old house, so not 100% standard and required some elbow grease. He put in a great effort, not just with the replacement, but cleaning the area, and dealing with some tricky parts. The price was also very fair. I would definitely recommend or call again. Thank you, Elvis!!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the good review. Let us know if you need more plumbing work. Sincerely, Max and Elvis
Elvis was great! He came the same day and fixed everything so quickly. Highly recommend
Response from the owner:Hi Cheryl. Thank you for your business. Always pleasure to work for you. Sincerely, Max and Elvis
Can’t say enough good things about this company. Professional, courteous, and really good at what they do. Most importantly, they do professional work for a reasonable rate, unlike most plumbers in town. Add these guys to your Rolodex and forget the rest.
Response from the owner:Kobra, thank you for sharing your positive review! It's very important for us to read such great words. It was a pleasure to help you. Always yours, Dr. Pipe.
Elvis was great, was very respectful, knew what he was doing, very thorough, even retested twice. He put away things back under the sink that he didn’t move, great plumber and would use again, because of Elvis.
Response from the owner:Thank you, DJ Short, for your kind review! We are here to help you with any plumbing-related issues! Best regards, Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing Services.
Elvis did excellent work on what I thought was a sewer drain problem but turned out to be something else. After the first visit, Elvis explained to me in detail his thought process, including drawing diagrams for me on his phone, and gave his recommendations. He then came out for a second visit to install a new toilet and check the drain line, which improved my initial toilet plumbing issue. The work was done carefully, cleanly, and Elvis satisfied my curiosity by answering all my questions while he was doing his work. In the end I feel I can trust these guys to just do work that is required, while keeping my informed, so I understand the what, why, and how. High recommendations from me.
Response from the owner:William Ryu, thank you for your business! Dr. Pipe is really appreciate your review. We were happy to help you. Have a good day!
We were fortunate enough to have the Dream Team of Elvis and Justin come today to tackle our laundry list of issues, which were quickly and efficiently resolved. Elvis remembered us from 2 years ago too! We are very satisfied customers and highly recommend this company–they are great.

At one time, pipe repair was difficult, time-consuming, and costly. 

That’s why Dr. Pipe is glad to announce that we can use trenchless replacement methods. The trenchless method, also called pipe bursting, is an efficient solution for all kinds of pipe repair. Now let’s delve into the meaning of pipe bursting technology.

What is Burst Pipe Technology?

Pipe bursting is a trenchless method of excavating old, damaged pipes. Rather than having to dig up your property to remove and replace old pipes, a large, cone-shaped head called a bursting head is hydraulically pulled through the damaged pipes underground. This breaks apart the old pipe while simultaneously replacing it with a new pipe made of something called high-density polyethylene (HDPE). This new pipe will be the same size or larger than the old pipe and seamlessly replace it from the inside.

The Pipe Bursting Process 

  1. We start by digging a hole to both ends of the pipe to be replaced.
  2. We inspect your pipe with a high-resolution camera to ensure we know just what needs to be done.
  3. A steel cable is fed into one end of the pipe that will guide the bursting head from one end to the other.
  4. The bursting head is pulled through the pipe along the steel cable. The HDPE pipe piggybacks behind the bursting head.
  5. As the bursting head breaks the old pipe out of the way, the new HDPE pipe replaces it while the bits of old pipe are forced into the adjacent soil.
  6. The new HDPE pipe is perfectly lined up with the sewer system, replacing the old pipe.

Pipe Bursting Benefits

  • Avoids the mess, time and expense of excavation,
  • No disruption to traffic or property,
  • Lower risk of failure since it’s following existing utility layout,
  • Your new pipe will likely be larger and offer increased flow,
  • HDPE is more resistant to corrosion.

Why Is It a Cost-Effective Trenchless Pipe Replacement Service?

Under ideal conditions, pipe-bursting can be an effective, reliable method of trenchless pipe replacement. Your new pipe could be up to 150% larger in diameter than the previous pipe, depending on soil conditions.

Though pipe-bursting isn’t the right choice in every situation, such as in dense urban areas where the risk of a surface cave-in is greater, it is often the most cost-effective choice thanks to the speed, reliability and less-intrusive nature of the work involved.
