When this disaster strikes you, 1st Choice Plumbing and Drain can quickly save your day. From a sewer and drain camera inspection to sewer line and drain cleaning to complete repair and replacement of lines we can take care of your complex sewer and drain issues.
You have many drains in your home, kitchen sinks, dishwashers, bathtubs, showers and even more with commercial or public buildings. While most drains can handle waste liquids without an issue, problems start to occur when you have undesirables going down the drain such as hair, soaps, cooking oils and fats, and other detergents.

TESTIMONIALS

Had a broken outdoor pipe and reached out to 1st Choice Plumbing and Drain. A representative returned my call ASAP and coordinated a visit to my home. On the day of service, Dan called me and said he was in route to my home. When he arrived, I noticed his truck was clean as well as himself (he brings the over the shoe inserts to where inside your home also). He assesed the issue and gave me two options regarding making the repair. Once we agreed to how we will handle the repair, Dan got to work. He made sure to keep me informed as he was completing the repair. Finally, he cleaned up the work area when completed. You would never know I had someone working in my basement. In closing, if you are looking for an old school plumber who is going to get the job done right the first time as well as treat your home like he treats his own; I highly you give them a call.

Dan really provided an exceptional service. Squeezed me in when I had a water emergency and fixed my issue for reasonable price. Very honest company. Highly recommend!

Dan is a great guy and was a pleasure to work with. We had a leak in our hot water tank that was very old and needed replacement. Dan was able to make time same day to take a look and give us a quote. He came back the next day and installed a new tank. He was very efficient and made sure things were done the right way. I would highly recommend 1st Choice Plumbing and Drain!

I was recommended Dan from 1st Choice by a family friend and I highly recommend using him for all your plumbing needs. After talking with Dan on the phone about what I needed done, he was out at my house the next day. It is clear to me that Dan is highly experienced and knowledgeable. He is a professional. He explains everything that will be done thoroughly. He is someone you can trust that will give you honest feedback on what should be addressed and what doesn't. He will be the first one I call for any further plumbing needs. Thanks Dan.

Dan is the best .. got the job done was easy to communicate with, one of the jobs dragged on for a while due to complications with the water company. He was extremely patient and kind… I would definitely have him back for any of my plumbing needs. He’s just a great guy all the way around. Dealt with a lot of plumbers in my time . But he is number 1!!!

Dan did a wonderful job placing my new faucet in my kitchen. While here, found a leak in by my water tank, checked my water pressure coming through my pipes. He didnt have a replacement part so he came back next day and fixed it for me. Very pleasant and thorough. Thanks Dan!

I would recommend 1st Choice Plumbing. I had a deadline to have some repairs made and Dan made it happen. He was professional and work was completed quickly.

Fast, honest, and does repairs to code. Dan was quick to track down the problems and leaks we had. He was upfront about all the potential issues, and showed me what was being fixed and explained why. Reasonable fees for excellent work.

Responsive service. Even responded back on a weekend. Installed a new toilet in less than 2 hours. Quality job !

Dan Panjestka did such an excellent job repairing our gas stove due to a gas leak! He was very efficient and thorough with his work. He answered all our questions and concerns. I highly recommend Dan Panjestka for your next plumbing issue! He has got you covered!!!

Dan has installed a water heater as well as a water pressure reducer valve/expansion tank for us. He was courteous and communicative through both processes, and made sure we understood how everything worked as well as recommended maintenance. First Choice will definitely be our first choice for any future plumbing needs.

Dan did a great job with our sewer drain and was very responsible . He gave us tips on what to from here on out. Definitely recommended him!

Dan did a great job diagnosing the problem and was able to fix it the same day. Very professional and respectful of our home. Arrived on time and completed the job within the timeframe estimated. Definitely recommend his services!

Thank god for first choice plumbing!! Dan was so easy to work with. My mom found him through Facebook because of an outside spicket that needed replaced and he ended up fixing some plumbing with her bathroom too. His prices were fair, he got the job done fast, and he was trustworthy. Fast forward to my house. We bought a house in Jan 23' and we inherited a slew of plumbing issues. So far Dan has installed a new hot water tank, made our kitchen sink functional, and installed a new spicket and pipes for our hose outside. I've worked with other plumbers, and before I worked with first choice plumbing I thought they were all the same. This company is amazing- polite, honest, and knowledgeable. 100/10, thank you for everything!!

Dan is very knowledgeable and professional. I had two difficult plumbing issues to address and he was able to complete the repairs with no problems. I highly recommend his services!

Dan is awesome, I highly recommend him! I've had him address several issues at my house over the course of two visits. He is very informative, kind, effective, & professional!

This guy is amazing! Truly an honest business, and I am glad to have my work serviced by this company. I needed a pressure valve regulator on my main water supply and thermal expansion tank replaced. I was offered a very fair and competitive price for the job, and couldn't be happier with the results! No more banging when using hot water or major appliances, and my pressure was reduced from 120 to 55-65 PSI. Its been weeks now, and there has been no leaks, and no signs of increased water pressure. Very polite, honest, and just a low-stress process. Thank you!!!

Dan did a great job. Very professional, honest, and respectful. He was a major help for us being new home owners. Any future plumbing or sewer issues we have we will be going back to 1st Choice Plumbing.

Dan was there for us when we needed him! He is professional, courteous and did high quality work! We highly recommend him!!

After many estimates and calls, I chose Dan at 1st Choice. The quality of work, consideration for your family's needs (water to cook and use the toilet) and price were beyond my expectations! On time, very neatly done, and cost effective! All my expectations were exceeded! How often can you say that in today's world? I highly recommend Dan! Please contact me if you would like to hear more! A job well done. Nick Marchak

Dan is the nicest guy there is! It was a Friday evening, and he was more than willing to come out to assess and fix our problem! Highly recommend 1st Choice Plumbing and Drain. Will definitely be the company to call if we encounter future plumbing issues! Thank you soo much Dan!

This company is AAA+++. Call Dan for your plumbing needs. Responsive, caring and looking to fix your problem, not make up one for a bigger payday

I had water leaking into the basement from my kitchen drain pipe and called1st Choice Plumbing as i have used them in the past with very good results. Dan is a very professional and trustworthy plumber who diagnosed the issue and explained the course of action to remedy. As usual, Dan did not attempt to upsell me but did make recommendations on what to watch for in the future. He fixed the issue in short order at a reasonable price. Finding an honest, dependable and reliable plumber is important to me, and i certainly recommend and suggest 1st Choice Plumbing

We had some issues arise with our sewer line after purchasing a home and Dan helped us figure out the issue every step of the way. He communicated great about what needed to be done and was very upfront and honest about everything. He did a larger job for us in a short amount of time and made sure to fit us into his schedule. I couldn’t recommend him enough and will continue to use him for all of our needs going forward. Great service!!

Dan installed numerous pieces of hardware for us in our newly purchased house, including faucets, shower heads, drain covers; a hot water recirculating pump system; and a new garbage disposal. In every case, his installation job was as solid as an Abrams tank. I have no doubt that if a tornado, God forbid, flattened our house, the parts that Dan installed would still be standing. Dan's prices are reasonable -- he charges by the job, not by the hour -- and he appeared on time every time. Highly recommended!

First Choice came recommended to me, and I am so pleased with the service I received. Dan came out, quoted me a price, and spent quite a bit of time on my property - much longer than I think he was planning to due to no fault of his - the job was just left for too long and proved to be bigger than expected. He was professional and kind, he took me along through the entire process and showed me what he was finding and explained what he was seeing, and I learned a great deal from him. His price was more than fair, and he gave me some tips to keep this issue from creeping up again anytime soon. Thank you, Dan! I will definitely call you again for any plumbing issues I may face!

This guy helped us efficiently and knowledgeably - took care of business while communicating along the way. Our home’s sewer line backed up and was coming into our home through basement shower stall and stationary tub - gross! Unclogged pipe, showed us issue with snake camera, removed tree roots, and suggested product for future maintenance. Couldn’t be happier with his smart and friendly service! Thanks, Dan!

Great job. Very happy with the results. No more leaks! Thank you

Professional and very knowledge. Took time to explain things. Would use again and recommend to others!

Great service can be hard to find especially when you need help quickly. 1st choice fit me in on short notice and provided professional and high quality work. My friend uses them and she referred me and I am very glad that she did.

Dan is amazing. He’s professional, courteous and reasonably priced. He responds quickly and efficiently. I have used his services for many years and he has always provided excellent service.

My hat's off to Dan and 1st Choice Plumbing. We had a clogged kitchen drain that Dan was able to fix quickly and efficiently. More importantly to me, was Dan's candor and professionalism. He was always upfront with me about what needed to be done, how he was going to do it and he never said he was going to do something he didn't do or follow through with. That may sound like it's expected, but in today's day and age, it's just something I've come to appreciate. Call me old-fashioned. Anyway, I'd highly recommend Dan and 1st Choice Plumbing without reservation, if you ever need a good and reliable plumber. Thanks Dan!

Dan was professional and thorough! He did a great job!

This company was fantastic. They came out for an estimate and offered to fix the issue the same day. They are very reasonably priced, and great customer service!

Excellent! Fast, courteous, friendly and professional. Highly recommend. Will definitely use 1st Choice from now on.

We had a sewer backup in our basement and Dan was to the rescue. He was in time within our appointed window. He was descriptive with good detail in communicating what was causing the issue. He then proceeded to make the repair on the drain line in our house in Parma. He was able to show us in the sewer camera what our pipe looks like. Thanks Dan

Highly recommend! Dan came out within a couple of hours of my call for a blocked kitchen sink drain. He first assessed the situation, took a look at all the kitchen plumbing including the pipes that went in the basement. He explained everything that needed to be done and then before starting also went over possible risks. I really appreciated that! Very fair pricing too. I will call him again if I need a plumber.

Dan & Son, Jim did a fine job. Hard workers. They care about the satisfaction of the customer. Good communications, on time, did all that was expected. Thumbs up!

Dan took the time to explain how the footer drain system functioned and then did a great job snaking it clear!

I'm so excited by to share...as a disabled person ease of showering is important. I was avoiding the shower because the faucet would fall off the wall. Called 1st Choice and they came out the next day and in no time at all and didn't break my budget fixed me up. Now I'm back to taking a shower on my own without worry of the faucet falling off the wall. Thank you Dan an 1st Choice .....Awesome Job Patty Figula Brooklyn Ohio
