We had our well pump go out. They showed up the next day a replaced the pump and pressure tank. Did amazing work and were willing to answer questions after hours.

Called Dexter Wells & Plumbing because we had an issue with our well pump and John was about to come out the same day and the very next day installed a new well pump and pressure tank for us.We are very pleased with the services received. John is a very nice man and definitely knows what he is talking about when it came to our issue.He sat and talked to us throughout the whole process and it was nice to learn a little about everything he was doing.Would without a doubt recommend them and use them again.

It happened suddenly.....no water in my house, not one drop. I found Dexter Well and Plumbing on Angis list. And what a PERFECT experience. John found multiple problems in my well, including errors made during the original installation, as well as problems created by a more recent plumber. He corrected all of them. John was professional, courteous, super competent, and everything anyone would wish for with an expert Master Plumber. And I now have water in my house. Thank you, John.

John saved me. He diagnosed a water pressure issue with my house and was able to quickly fix it with no damage to any walls for floors. He came back to hook up a gas line to my new pool heater. When the heater didnt work, he quickly came back to troubleshoot the pool heater and identified that the issue was with the gas meter I called the gas company to come by to fix the issue. John, he stayed onsite to ensure the heater was working properly before he left. His prices are reasonable and I had no problems getting on his schedule. Highly Recommend Dexter Wells & Plumbing.

In November, we started to have problems with our water pressure. Had to replace water heater and well pump and was told we had to drill a new well because the pressure was still dropping. We got a second opinion from John. He was able to come out quickly and diagnose the problem. He discovered that mud was coming in to the well. John came back and replaced the pressure tank, installed a sleeve and sealed the well. I am delighted to say that for the first time in 25 years, we have 100% pure water with no coliform and no mud thanks to John and his expertise. I HIGHLY recommend this company for any well problems.

John saved the day (week, month... year) for us! I got home a little early one day to find that my water didnt work. After a little bit of troubleshooting on my end and with the knowledge that my pressure tank was way past its expiration date, I called Dexter Wells. John Dexter was at my house within an hour of my call and had a new pressure tank and switch installed before dark. He let me hang out and see what he was doing and explained the parts and operation which I really appreciated and enjoyed. If you want great work from a nice guy, dont call anyone else.

We noticed our water pressure had started to decline. I called the office around 830 am on May 31,2022. I was told they had a well repair going on and would be over in the afternoon to look at our situation. About 1 hour later I got a text that they could come earlier. John got here around 11 am. He quickly and expertly diagnosed a dying well pump and a broken pressure tank. John worked in the 90 plus degree heat to remove our old submersible well pump and replace it with a new one and change the well tank in the house. When he got finished and tested the pump would not run, he then diagnosed ( through experience) that we had a shorted breaker from the main panel. I replaced the breaker and sure enough everything worked. John worked most of the day to get our water well replaced. I will be calling Dexter plumbing for any future needs. John was timely, professional, and affordable. Buying local always makes sense. Thank you John for all your hard work.

Sometimes (rarely these days) you find someone who does quality work at a reasonable price; is knowledgeable and pleasant to work with; and is punctual, responsive and takes pride in their work. John Dexter is one of those rare people/companies. My husband and I had been dealing with another well company for several months after we ran out of water and our well pump motor blew out. After spending $8,500, we still had water supply problems and we’re being told we needed to drill a new well (for an additional $20,000+). We called John and he came out within 2 days. John discovered that the well pump installed by our prior well company was not only the wrong pump for our well, but the electrical wire in the well had actually been spliced! John replaced the system for half the cost of the original company and water is once again flowing in our house! Thank you John!

My water stopped working. I contacted Dexter Wells & Plumbing after business hours, and was pleasantly surprised that a human answered my call! She took my information and in the morning Mr. Dexter came to my house as she’d promised. He replaced my well pump and water pressure tank. He offered financing as an option for payment but we elected to pay in full. He was very knowledgeable, empathetic, and reasonably priced. I felt he was honest and laid out all of our options and explained things clearly. We were very pleased with his work and impressed with his years of experience and level of expertise in his field (he’s a master plumber and has been working in his field since the early 80’s). A few days later, unrelated to the water issue he’d repaired, we replaced our toilet handle and it wouldn’t flush/refill. I called his office and he came out on short notice and fixed it for free! I should add that though our water took longer to get the chlorinated smell out than he’d said it would (he said by next day, it was several weeks before I wanted to drink it, due to the smell), it is back to being my delicious well water that I love! Just had to buy bottled water in the meantime.We will definitely call him next time we need plumbing help (but hopefully that won’t be for a while!). Highly recommend.

John Dexter Wells & Plumbing is outstanding! John does all the work himself, and is a licensed Master Plumber. He has accomplished the following needed work for us in our home over a couple years: New hot water heater, new well pump, new water treatment system, and several in-home plumbing related challenges. My wife and I will continue to exclusively use John for anything plumbing or well water system related. Highest possible rating!!!

I hired Dexter Plumbing to replace my well pump, install a sleeve on the well head to prevent ground water intrusion, and replace my pump tank. John Dexter (the owner) and his assistant Edwin did a fantastic job at a reasonable and honest price. I observed them for most of the time to learn what they were doing and found them to be exceptionally skilled and personable. Most importantly, our water is clean and tastes good for the first time in years. I highly recommend him for any plumbing need and he is definitely first on our list!

Dexter Wells & Plumbing just replaced my water heater and I am extremely happy with their price and service. Their technician John was not much for conversation but was a get down to business kind of plumber. Two hours was all he needed to remove the old unit and install the new one. He gave me some great great maintenance advice and I also got a ten year warranty on the water heater. You can’t beat that. We will use them again, I highly recommend them. -Rich

Mr. Dexter came for a second opinion after having been told we needed an acid neutralizer and water softener. He tested our water on the spot and said it was perfect and we needed absolutely nothing. He also informed us that the water pressure tank we currently have is in good working order, whereas the plumber who came yesterday also said it needed replaced due to its size. That plumber did not even test it, only looked at it. Mr. Dexter went above and beyond with the information we needed and was very honest. We will definitely be using him again, if the need ever arises and will for sure be recommending him to anyone who needs plumbing services.

Travis is incredible. We were having issues with air in our lines, and he diagnosed a well pump and pressure tank issue due to age. He returned the next day with Aaron to repair. They ran into a few obstacles due to some deep well issues, but paitently solved the problems and got us up and running, refusing to leave until they could finish, not wanting to leave us without water. They worked until 11 pm to make sure all was right, even cleaning up before leaving. You cant find service like this anymore- thanks, Travis and Aaron!

I don’t normally write reviews but this was such a great experience I had to write a review. I was having trouble with my well and called around for months trying to get someone to come out and take a look and see what we needed to do. I called everyone I could find and received promises of coming and no one ever showed up. I had dirty water for months. I called Dexter plumbing and John came out right away and gave an estimate. We agreed to the repair and a couple days later he came out and repaired the well. John worked all day long in 90 degree heat. Repaired the issue and I waited two weeks to write this review to confirm water is clear and clean. If your looking for an honest, reliable, hard working company give this company a call.

After being strung along by another company for a week & half with no water in our home, gave him a call & he came right out same day! He figured out the problem, gave us a working solution to have water overnight and came back the next day and pulled our well pump replacing a cracked housing, pump & other 30 year old corroded parts. Everything works great! Thorough, honest and a nice guy. Made this old handicapped veteran very happy! Getting by on veterans disability is challenging but his price was more than fair. We live in Louisa County and its hard to find good service of any type here. You wont find better than Mr. Dexter!

What a fantastic experience! John was at my door within an hour of me making the call and identified/fixed my issue on the spot at a reasonable price! He made me feel extremely comfortable due to his high level of expertise, his knowledge of well systems, and efficient use of time. I will absolutely call on him again for my plumbing needs.

Mr Dexter arrived on time, was very polite and attentive to our concerns. It quickly became clear to us that one of his expertise is in tankless water heater systems. It was refreshing to have an honest assessment of our system. In his opinion, we did not need to spend money on a service (that he actually does for these systems) that he did not think was needed or beneficial to our situation.We appreciated that honesty and will definitely call him again for our next plumbing project!

John was quick with the replacement of my sump pump and he also cleaned out the pit which was full of rocks. I will definitely be using him again for any future issues.

On July 26th John came to my home. He was punctual, professional and explained every thing he did. All issues were resolved at a reasonable price. He is very knowledgeable. Would totally recommend him and his company.

Review 21 (2018-08-29 - Rating: 5)
I found John Dexter about 2 years ago when my home in Lorton had a water service line break that led to a $1300 water bill. After about 7 outrageous quotes from many blood sucking plumbers in the DC area, I found John. John came to my home promptly, easily diagnosed my problem, and advised exactly what he would do to repair it. He took the time to explain how he would go about inflicting the least damage possible to the home, which he absolutely followed through on, and at the end of the day gave me the most confidence in knowing he was the right plumber for the job. His price was also very fair, unlike many other plumbers. The repair was completed in the timeframe he said it would be, and with no surprises. I couldn’t be more satisfied knowing I had picked the right plumber for the job.Fast forward two years and he was my first call when I needed a plumber again, and once again he repaired my issue without a hitch. I can’t recommend John Dexter enough. His experience in the industry is evident and invaluable. His honesty and customer service is a relief when you’re in that stressful situation that you ‘need’ something repaired.

Johns first visit to my was to fix my water filtration system. That was 6 years ago and he has been my plumber ever since. He has installed an outdoor faucet, r/o water system, renovated my master bath and maintained my filtration system. He is knowledgeable and dependable.

Dexter Wells & Plumbing, LLC is fantastic! John always responds quickly and does a great job. We will continue to use him for all of our plumbing needs.

Review 24 (2021-09-15 - Rating: 5)
I had several other people out to look at my well John fixed it the first try. Since then I have had him out a couple more times...very prompt and reliable. Good price. Hard to find a good, knowledgeable plumber -- He is IT.

Review 25 (2019-08-08 - Rating: 5)
Extremely satisfied with price, installation, attentiveness to my custom requests. Could not beat their price anywhere even though I solicited 5 separate bids. Others would have charged me thousands more for a less efficient unit! Real nice to have the owner, John, be there for me during the whole process, and Christi, the glue that keeps that company together as she manages overall day to day operations. Another great selling point was that they offered extended parts and labor warranty over the manufacturer warranty. Couldnt be happier!

Mr Dexter did a great job solving my hard water problem. Tested my water and installed a quality American made softener that made my life much more enjoyable. The price beat all other quotes. Hire this company for your project!

John is the best. Prices are the best I’ve ever heard and the work is nothing but the best. He’s been working on my plumbing for 10 plus years and I’ve never been disappointed. 10 Stars would be much better than 5 for this rating. Highly recommend using his services.

Mr. Dexter replaced the water booster pump in my PY townhouse. He is practical, efficient, and a wealth of knowledge. I would recommend him to anyone with a plumbing issue, especially with regards to water pumps.

Company went above and beyond to get my well running right and even got some lines fixed and redone to keep the water from leaking which they didnt have to do. Would definitely recommend to all my friends and family and will continue to use them as any plumbing needs arise.

Hi my name is Dan. I live in CrimoraVirginia I to contacted Dexter through Angie’s list. I spoke to the dad. The dad told me everything that he would about the well and he said he sent his son Cory out to my home and he had complete confidence, and Cory,Cory was a godsend Cory came out to the house evaluating our situation told me we didn’t have a water problem. We had a well problem. Our well casing had been compromised and had a break in it He put a new sleeve in a new pump new hose new wiring changed around our pressure tank. Did everything got it back together and within 10 minutes we were running clean water instead of mud I just want to say thank you to Cory and his dad for everything.

Very knowledgeable and trustworthy local business with great service. John provides practical solutions at fair prices with zero up selling. Replaced our well pump, pressure tanks and water treatment system. Also repaired our well by installing a sleeve, which will save us from needing a new well.

If you are looking for an honest opinion, look no further! I am so happy to have called Dexter Wells & Plumbing for an honest consultation on our well; it is so hard to find businesses who are not out to just make money off of you these days. If you have a well or plumbing issue, I highly recommend contacting Dexter Wells & Plumbing!

I highly recommend Dexter Wells & Plumbing. I called on a Saturday due to no water, and DWP was out that evening, exactly on time, to diagnose the problem. John replaced the well pump and pressure tank the following Monday at a reasonable price. Thank you DWP.

Very prompt, was able to come by and diagnose the problem the day after contacting them. Gave me a quote and fixed my leaking well the next day. Cost seemed a bit high, but the work was done well and every one was nice and easy to work with so I have no complaints. I will use them again next time the need comes up.

Our technician was very thorough, cautious and he patiently explained everything he was doing.He also answered our questions. Our issue turned out to be more complicated but he worked until everything was resolved. He then cleaned up after he was done. I would definitely recommend them.
