Darby Plumbing & Drain is a locally owned plumbing company based in Plymouth, Massachusetts, run by Mike, who has worked with customers across Plymouth County since at least 2017. The company describes itself as offering residential and commercial plumbing, water heater, and drain services, and its website lists a self-reported Master Plumber License, number 13201. Google reviewers from the past year consistently describe Mike as hardworking, honest, and fair on price, and several mention him responding to plumbing emergencies within an hour, including a late-night call and a Saturday night. Customers across nearly a decade of Angi and HomeAdvisor reviews describe similar experiences: fast callbacks, same-day appointments, and specific completed work like tankless water heater installs, faucet replacements, and toilet repairs, with several noting he modified or fabricated parts to get a tricky job done. A December 2025 Google review describes a very different experience: the reviewer says the business routinely ignored messages, did not provide an itemized breakdown, took most of the payment for a job that ended up roughly a quarter complete after the homeowner declined to approve the largest component, and left completed work leaking with an unlevel dishwasher installation. This is the only review of its kind in the record and stands apart from dozens of other detailed, positive accounts, but it is worth asking about directly, getting a written, itemized estimate before work begins, and confirming scope in writing on any larger job. For plumbing repairs, water heater work, and drain issues in the Plymouth area, Darby Plumbing & Drain has a long, mostly positive track record with the same technician handling the work personally.
Mike is hardworking and honest about his work. He is a straight shooter. Shows up when he says he will and gives a fair price. Would definitely recommend if you need a plumber in the Plymouth area.
On a Monday morning after a holiday Mike showed up 1 hour after the call. He spent the whole day here replacing the tankless water heater. He knows his trade well. And his pricing was extremely competitive. This is the first plumber in a long time that I felt comfortable with the job he did and the money I paid. He'll be my go to Plumber going forward.
Had a leak in our bathroom sink. Mike was very quick to respond, and came in a timely manner to fix the issue. Would highly recommend their services.
Mike is truly wonderful! We had a plumbing emergency at 10pm on a Saturday night and we called Mike. He came right over and immediately handled the repair. His responsiveness and action prevented what could have become major damage. Mike is highly responsive, skilled, efficient, and affable to boot! His work is excellent, and my husband and I highly recommend him.
Routinely ignores messages to come by, did not provide an itemized breakdown, took most of the money for a job that ended up being a quarter of the work after approval was denied to complete the largest component. Left the work that was completed leaking, unleveled dishwasher, and still no courtesy to respond to come back and fix it. Took the money and ran…
