I have called Dave for service, but unfortunately, he is not taking responsibility for the mess that occurred while he was jetting the pipe. He’s not honest—he will find a lot of reasons to blame on you. He was supposed to come back but never did. We are not going to use him again. However, if you call him for service, make sure not to pay right away. Ask for an invoice and wait at least 10 days before making the payment. This will give you assurance that if something goes wrong, he will come back and make it right!
Pittsburgh Business Reviews
Dave from DAP is very dependable. Each time we have had plumbing issues at our HQ, we call him directly. DAP has (or has access to) every cutting-edge plumbing tool imaginable and they are willing to do almost any type of contractor work (though, in transparency, we have only employed Dave for plumbing issues). Dave is polite and does not beat around the bush. He is knowledgeable, experienced and never fails to meticulously clean up after his work before he departs. Speaking of, Dave has never left us without ensuring that our problems were completely resolved. That kind of service is seemingly unheard of in our current age. Thank you Dave. We, 100%, absolutely recommend DAP Sewer and Drain for plumbing issues if you're in the south western region of Pennsylvania and require professional help.

Unfortunately I trusted Dave with too much work and it was above his expertise. Instead of saying he was out of his element he pushed through. I’ve had to redo every single job Dave did for me at this point, it’s been roughly 2 years since I stopped using him. From house trap replacement, gas service, interior supply and drain. Roughly 10 separate properties, I’ve had to pay actual plumbers to come redo all of his work. 100% of it. I will say he can snake a clogged drain with the best of them, but that is it Edit- the response is laughable. I can post receipts if needed. Edit 2- now apparently he remembers me. Good one on prop condition Dave. we did a lot of service calls but the big expensive jobs were vacant, rough ins and excavation. All Had to be redone by actual plumbers. Every bill was paid, I’ve never stiffed a contractor in my 8 years in Pittsburgh.

We had a last minute issue with our gas service line the day before going into the hospital for the birth of our child. We called Dave, he gave us a fair quote and had the job complete by the time we got home which was amazing. He was also flexible enough to fix another issue that came up during the people’s gas inspection. Highly recommend!

I cannot say enough good about Dave of DAP Sewer and Drain. We had a hard time finding the combination of timely, affordable, honest, and thorough service after our exterior gas line failed. A friend came across a post in the Spring Garden Community group and sent it to me. From the first phone call until the completion of the project, Dave was informative, transparent, detailed, and professional. I've already recommended him to others and would give 10 stars if I could. An absolute pleasure to do business with. We will be using his service again when needed.

I called to repair my garbage disposal. Dave gave suggestions on how to do it myself and if it doesn’t work he said he will come. Instead of coining and charging me, he was very nice and his suggestion worked. You do not see repairman like him.

I called Dave at 11:45 am on a Sunday and he called me back within 5 minutes and was at my house within 30 minutes to unclog my sewer. I made 5 calls to other places and he was the only one to respond. I will use him in the future and will recommend him to others for sure. He was prompt, courteous, and affordable. Thanks!!

Dave was prompt, professional, courteous and knowledgeable. Did a very thorough job clearing a clogged outdoor standpipe. Made sure it was in good operating condition before leaving. Will definitely use in future.
