You don't make it in business for more than a century without being the best. But it's not enough to be good at what you do. You have to care about how you do it. You have to care about the people you're doing it for. You have to be committed to doing the right thing, even when nobody's watching you.

He would say, It's what's inside that matters. Do what's right, every step of the way. Today, we follow that same, old-fashioned work ethic.

You know the saying, "If you want it done right you need to do it yourself"? Well in this case, it applies. I had PDM come to my house in March of 2022 to replace my water heater, which cost almost $1,900. The technician, John Moon, was very nice, but it was obvious he had no clue what he was doing. The copper piping he installed on the top of the heater was cockeyed, causing it to leak a few weeks after it was installed. Also, the tank had a major dent in it, but he assured us it was just cosmetic.
We noticed over the past few weeks the water was not getting as hot as it should have. We noticed last night the water heater has a major leak on the bottom and it will not ignite again. I DO NOT TRUST having them come back to my house. I have a feeling this was a used heater or a defective one. I ordered a new water heater from Home Depot and I am having a neighbor who is a plumber/contractor install it. I should have done this in the first place. DO NOT USE PDM! THEY WILL SCAM YOU!

We are first time home owners and have only been in the Joliet area for 6 months. The dispatcher was amazing to talk to her, gave me worst case scenario as far as price was concerned.she even tried to see if she can get the plumber here sooner but I was available all day. Anthony ended up coming earlier than what was expected, which was fantastic. Anthony was/is very knowledgeable, quick, professional and cleaned up everything quite nicely.
I am very satisfied with the service and quality of the work as well as the price. it wasn't nearly as expensive as I thought it was going to be considering he had to cut old piping and put in some new PVC piping.very pleased and will call PDM plumbing again. Thank you guys again

Our new gas stove would not back up to the wall due to the location of the gas hard line. Dan replaced and repositioned the line and valve so the stove now backs up to the electrical plug! Great job and great conversation. Both my experiences with PDM have been nothing less than stellar! Service: Plumbing pipe repair

Called PDM due to a sewage drain plug and water backing up into the basement. They provided great professional service, beginning with customer service scheduling my appointment asap and the Service Technician arriving early and working promptly and efficiently. Definitely the best company out there who stands behind their work - thank you PDM!

Chris was a great tech. First time we used this company. It was in the single digits and we had no heat and the person we used before at another company had covid. We called this company and they came out same day for us and fixed the issue. Extremely nice and very helpful. Service: Heating system repair

Our Heating Tech was Chris Gregory. He has done work for us a few times previously, and we appreciate his knowledge and experience. Our furnace is nearly 20 years old, and believe he is a big part of the reason it is still running smoothly. Don't know exactly what he did this time, but it felt like the furnace was definitely working more efficiently than before the tuneup.
I have recommended PDM to a few of my neighbors. Your dispatcher Christina was able to schedule a Plumber for one of them on the same day. My neighbor was also pleased with the job done by Pete.

We had our air conditioner go out at 9:30pm. We called PDM and they came out the next day by 9am. We had to have the unit replaced and Anthony was able to be here a day later to install the unit. He did a great job in this 108 degree heat index and worked thoroughly. He is very nice and professional and he made us and our home very happy and cool again.
We have used PDM in the past for a water heater and now an air conditioner and have nothing but great things to say about them. I would highly recommend this company to my friends and family.

Amazing experience. The young man Anthony was polite and knowledgeable. He explained everything we needed and showed us as well. We felt he was being very honest with us and we decided to have him do the heating work we needed. We are very happy with the work done and everything was left spotless when he was finished. We will only use this company from now on.

I had a plumbing problem and had no experience in who were good plumbers in the area. I looked at a couple of companies with good reviews and decided to go with PDM. It was a great decision. The plumber they sent out, Anthony, was amazing. Gave me an idea of how long it would take to fix and the cost up front once he saw the problem. It was pretty reasonable and he did a great job. Very professional and friendly. Will definitely use them again next time I have a plumbing situation

Pete was friendly, kind, and did a great job replacing the parts on our shower faucet that other plumbers couldn't handle. Pete will be our new go to for plumbing and i suppose his company PDM as long as they keep him around. I've learned over time that it's not the companies so much as the individuals that work for them, and I request the same people once I find one I like. Good job hiring Pete! He's a keeper.

This was the first time I have used PDM, but I will definitely use them in the future. Our gas dryer needed re-venting, and Chris did an excellent job. He showed up on time and was professional, personable, efficient and neat. The job was done right, it works right and it was neatly done. He cleaned up after the work was done. I am very happy with the quality workmanship from PDM.

PDM Plumbing, Heating & Cooling is A+. We have called them for two major issues for our home plumbing. Our service professional, Pete, is outstanding. He knows what he is doing. He can assess the problem and solve it with total efficiency. When he is finished with the job, the area is usually cleaner than when he arrived. He even likes our dog.
