Plumber in Washington, DC

Check before you pay anyone. District homeowners with a lead or galvanized service line are eligible for DC Water's replacement programs, and enrolled homeowners get a 100 percent discount on the private side of the line, paid for with DOEE and federal funds. Look your address up on DC Water's service inventory map first.

Because the waste stack, the supply line and your neighbor's wall can be inches apart. Opening a party wall is not the same as opening a wall in a detached house. We plan the opening around what the wall is carrying before anything comes out.

In the parts of DC on the combined sewer, a backwater valve on your line can stop sewer water from coming back up through the floor drain. We check your main first, then tell you whether a valve makes sense.

Yes. Tell us which unit you own and whether the building has an association. If a repair touches a shared stack, we work out with you who needs to approve it.

Yes. Anacostia, Congress Heights and Deanwood are all in our service area, and the neighborhoods east of the Anacostia are some of the closest DC blocks to our shop.

We won't call ourselves the best, so judge us on the facts. All Purpose Plumbers repairs plumbing in DC rowhouses, condos and shops, from leaks and clogged drains to water heaters, pipe and sewer lines. We are bonded and insured, hold DC residential and contractor licenses, and every job starts with a free look and a written price. Check any plumber the same way. Ask for the license number, the certificate of insurance and the price in writing before work starts.

A leak you can see and reach is usually a small repair. Angi's Washington, DC plumber cost page puts a typical job at $202 to $521, with most homeowners paying around $350 (page read October 2026). A hidden leak costs more, because finding it inside a rowhouse wall or ceiling is its own job. Our first look is free, and if the leak needs tracing you get that fee in writing before the search starts.

Ask for the license number and look it up with the DC Department of Licensing and Consumer Protection, then ask for a current certificate of insurance naming the liability and workers' compensation carriers. A legitimate company hands both over without fuss. Our Home Improvement Contractor License is No. 420226000078, held by All Purpose Anytime Services LLC, and our certificate of insurance comes on request.

Close your main shutoff first, because no phone call stops water faster. We don't send plumbers out overnight. Our phones are answered 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM every day, and a burst pipe reported overnight is answered in the morning and scheduled within 48 hours, ahead of routine work. If the water is coming from the street, the meter or the public side of the line, that belongs to DC Water, so call them. In a condo, call the building's management or engineer as well.

Not by us. We don't work nights on homes. Our hours are 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM every day, and a backed-up drain goes on the schedule within 48 hours. Tonight, stop running water and flushing, keep the washer and dishwasher off, and keep everyone away from any sewage that has come up. If sewage is coming back from the street sewer, report it to DC Water.
