We had an excellent experience. It’s clear that management has instilled a real sense of ownership and accountability in their employees.

Facing an incoming snowstorm on a Saturday, we had an urgent furnace issue. Wendy answered the call and immediately took charge—she sourced the needed products and coordinated with the team to make sure our furnace was working that very day.

Her actions were a testament to her dedication, her strong relationships with the team, and the leadership culture at the company.

Amazing experience using Davis today! Matthew came out after I had a concern with my thermostat! He checked it and also checked everything else for me as well! Gave me great advice on some things for the future, and answered every single question I had for him (which was a lot haha!) I was given multiple options on how I wanted to proceed with any issues he found. He was very honest and the prices they have are BEYOND fair! Each price I was given included the labor and service call fee and was still very fair! Overall this company turned a stressful time into a stress free time and put my anxiety at ease! Will DEFINITELY recommend to everyone!

We had our sewer line in our basement backed up and tried calling a few different companies to come out and fix it. Being that it was on a Sunday nobody wanted to come out. We ended up getting a hold of Davis who sent out James. He was very knowledgeable and explained everything that he was going to do. He did an amazing job and by the end of the night we were good to go. When James was done he also brought some towels and spray and cleaned up the mess that he made from the job he did. The next day Davis sent over a gentleman by the name of Dakota who ran a camera through our sewer lines. He was there to see why our sewer backed up. He was very professional and very knowledgeable on the job he was there to do. Between James and Dakota it was determined that because of where my house sits at the bottom of two Hills. When it rains we get all the rain water backing up the sewer lines. We ended up needing a check valve installed which meant that a crew needed to come over to our house and cut the concrete in my basement and dig out the stone to get to the sewer line so they could install this check valve. Victor and Hunter showed up and did an amazing job. They were very professional and tried to keep everything clean for us by putting plastic up. Another gentleman by the name of Will came over to give Victor and Hunter help on the job. Between the three of them they were able to get the job done and get it done fast. They brought in a vacuum and vacuum the floor, then they swept the floor, and then they swiffered the basement floor to try to get it as clean as possible. They also wipe down the Walls around the area they were in. From start to finish Davis did an amazing job. If there is any Plumbing work that you need done I would definitely give them a call.

Damien and Jacob installed a new hot water heater and water softener system. They did a GREAT GREAT JOB!! They explained what they were doing in a very understandable way. I really enjoyed talking to them. They were very professional and a pleasure to deal with. Thanks!!

Andrew

Philip arrived right on time(actually a bit earlier)from when he was scheduled. He was very pleasant and polite explaining every step of what he was doing. Instead of an expensive, full blown change out we agreed on an upgrade to satisfy my needs. We discussed if I wanted to make more changes what the next steps and costs would be. I was VERY satisfied with the Service Tech, his work and future suggestions.

Jennifer Porter

Everyone from the sales team to the install crew did a top notch job. Our boiler went out unexpectedly over Christmas, and Mike bent over backwards to help us get warmed up quickly and affordably. The crew showed up promptly, were very polite, and left no evidence of their visit aside from the new boiler- no mess, no damage. Very appreciative of the Davis crew for a job well done.

Tom LeNeave

We greatly appreciate Michael and Jacob doing the plumbing project in our home. We couldn't be more pleased with their very professional work. From the first day to the last day, they were very courtious, took the time to check-in with us, and made our house available each evening before they left so we could take showers and use the bathrooms. They worked quite hard the whole time and kept the project progressing well. The are men of integrity and we felt very comfortable and assured their work behind walls, under counters, and in the ceiling were top quality. We would easily go back to Davis for future projects because of them. We would highly recommend them and Davis Plumbing to anyone needing plumbing work. Thank you Michael and Jacob for a job well done.

Wendy Hayth-Perdue

Ryder spent over five hours at my elderly parents’ home resolving a sewer backup. My mom is very high-energy and outspoken, and my husband and son stepped in to help navigate the situation while I kept my dad occupied at my house.

Ryder handled everything with extraordinary patience, professionalism, and respect, especially considering all the chaos and personalities involved.

He never rushed, never complained, and delivered truly quality service for my parents. We are so grateful for his help and would absolutely recommend him.

Maribeth Schermer

Ryan did an outstanding job. He was pleasant and professional. Ryan took the time to explain the problem and how to fix it. His work was amazing and efficient. We will be using Davis again for our future HVAC needs. Thank you for your wonderful work.

What Are Dock Lifeguards and Why You Need Them Now

Dock lifeguards are sophisticated safety systems that detect stray voltage in the water surrounding docks, marinas, and swimming areas. These devices continuously monitor for dangerous alternating current that can leak from faulty wiring, nearby boats, or damaged electrical equipment.

For waterfront property owners throughout Roanoke and Southside VA, dock lifeguards are your protectors. They work 24/7 to detect electrical hazards before anyone enters the water. When the system senses dangerous voltage levels, it immediately triggers alarms and can automatically shut down power sources to stop the threat.

How Dock Lifeguards Keep Your Family Safe From Invisible Dangers

You can’t see electricity in water, which is what makes it so dangerous. A dock area that looks perfectly safe might actually harbor deadly electrical current. Dock lifeguards constantly scan for these invisible threats, giving you peace of mind when family and friends are enjoying water activities.

These systems protect you from numerous water-related electrical hazards, including:

Electric shock drowning (ESD), when electricity paralyzes swimmers and causes drowning
Stray voltage from marina power systems that can travel through water
Electrical leakage from boats docked nearby
Faulty wiring in dock lighting or power outlets
Weather-related electrical hazards during storms or flooding
Equipment failures that release current into the water

No other investment delivers the same level of protection for your waterfront property. When you consider the alternative, a potential trip to the hospital or worse, dock lifeguards become as necessary as locks on your doors.

The Science Behind Dock Lifeguard Systems

Dock lifeguard systems use advanced sensors to detect even minimal levels of electrical current in water. The technology works by measuring voltage differences between various points in the water surrounding your dock.

When the system detects electricity above safe thresholds, it immediately activates. Depending on your setup, the system might sound audible alarms to warn swimmers and boaters, activate visual warning lights around the dock area, automatically cut power to dock electrical systems, or send notifications to your phone or security system.

Our professional electricians install these systems to create a complete safety perimeter around your waterfront property. We place sensors strategically to catch electrical hazards before they can cause harm, no matter if they come from your property, neighboring docks, or passing boats.

Think Your Dock May Have Dangerous Electrical Issues?

Pay Attention to These Signs!

Many dock owners don’t realize they have electrical problems until it’s too late. Pay attention to these warning signs that your dock might have hazardous electrical conditions:

Swimmers report tingling sensations in the water
Unusual corrosion on metal dock components
Tripping circuit breakers when dock systems are used
Lights that flicker or dim around the dock area
Pets avoiding water near the dock (animals often sense electrical current before humans)
Previous flooding that may have damaged electrical systems
