Since starting Von Drain & Contracting LLC in 2018, I’ve worked with a wide range of clients throughout the DMV area. With 17 years of experience, I’ve built a solid background in handling everyday plumbing issues and drain solutions.
For me, it’s not just about getting the job done, it’s about how people are treated throughout the process. I take the time to walk through what’s going on, go over your options, and help you choose what makes the most sense for your situation without pressure.
I believe in being straightforward, and doing work that I can stand behind. A lot of my business comes from repeat customers and referrals, which comes from building trust over time.
I’m licensed and insured, and I handle each job professionally so you can feel comfortable with who you’re hiring.
My slogan still stands: Honesty is the key to our success.
What makes me different is simple, I focus on giving you the best solution at the best value while making sure you feel taken care of from start to finish.

Great experience with Davonne, he was extremely responsive and professional and explained clearly how he fixed the problem with my toilet. He also took pictures of his work at various stages of the process so I could see exactly what I did, which I really appreciated. Definitely recommend this business!

Von Drain and Contracting was professional, timely, true to their word and did a great job. I would use them again for plumbing issues. DeVonne and his colleague snaked my laundry/dishwasher pipe and installed a new laundry sink and faucet.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is flat rate. I take the over all market value of jobs and cut the price by 35%-50% depending on the job. The bigger the job the more i discount. Reasoning I am a small company and i compete with bigger plumbing companies in the area. So with me you are always going to get the best deal. I give you a price based in my price book upon arrival.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When you contact me I will ask you for your name. I will ask you what is your problem? once you tell me and describe your problem I may try to trouble shoot with you over the phone. This method may save you some money and trip for me to come out. If I can resolve your problem over the phone I may ask just give me a positive review. Other wise if I need to come out I will ask you can you send me your address through text. I will text you when I am on my way, also when I arrived. also customers must understand I am self employed with one helper I can do but so many jobs in a day so sometimes I may need to reschedule
