Best Main Water Service in Seattle WA

Kyle ( employee) was on time, had clean hands and clothes and was easy to talk with. Being an engineer, I explained what I thought was the problem. He went right to work and discovered that I was wrong and showed me that the problem was easier to fix than I expected. So, he quickly repaired the toilet and had the invoice made out before he was even scheduled to arrive at my condo!I had a pressure regulator replaced a few months ago by another plumbing company and that simple job cost me 4 times what Kyle charged me today!

Great service from Josh and apprentice Edison. They went above and beyond the call of duty to deal with a dishwasher issue. Highly recommended.

I got jerked around by a countertop company (Intown Granite & Quartz). It took them 4 deliveries to get it right. 2 Son’s Plumbing was so accommodating as I had to keep rescheduling faucet installation. They came out late on a Friday evening so I could use my kitchen sink for the first time in a month.

I can’t say enough good things about them. I will definitely use them for any future plumbing needs.

I called Beacon Plumbing twice in the same week: Once to help my elderly parents with an outside house faucet that wouldn't shut off, and another time to fix a water pipe that broke in my school's cafeteria flooding our space. Both times Beacon Plumbing quickly came to our rescue and solved these issues quickly and with professionalism. The staff's thoroughness and kindness toward panicky customers is commendable! Beacon Plumbing is a definitely a business you can count on for quality service and great customer rapport! THANK YOU!

Having made an appointment to install a kitchen faucet for Monday evening (between 5 and 11 p.m.), we were disappointed to receive a call at 8:30 Monday evening only to be told that our service provider was stuck in a broken down vehicle south of Seattle and they had no idea how late it might be. Would we please reschedule? Being a two-income family (necessary to afford a $400 faucet installation), it's not so easy to accept the last-minute appointment change, but we agreed to a change to 8 a.m. on Tuesday morning. Sometime after 10 a.m. our plumber arrived (after two calls to dispatch). While Eli was speedy and efficient, the service leading up to the install was something less than either - and the cost of a 25 minute installation was utterly ridiculous. This is the third service call we've had with Roto Rooter. The previous two were much better and included experiences that were timely and dependable. Not sure what went on during this last one, but it was a disappointment.

Armin assessed the problem...out of code piping during remodel causing back-ups and leaking. His solution...to cut into the wall and rebuild the piping system and install a smaller disposal that allowed better flow and no back-up....in and out in less than two hours.

Actually I called them because my toilet was not working. My toilet was old and I asked if they could put in a new toilet. They said “yes” and went to the store to get one. When they finished the took the old one away and there was no mess.

One of the guys was in training. They were both very nice.

Far and away the worst experience I've had with a plumbing company in 10+ years of property management.

Tenant called them the day after Thanksgiving - she was told $550+ tax to fix a sewer backing up. This included their $100 emergency fee (later they tell me it's actually a Holiday fee since they don't work on the day after thanksgiving?!) Ok, fine. She paid - they didn't fix the problem. But she did pay them.

Instead they said we had a break in the pipe 7' underground and they want another $7k to fix it since there's so much digging. So I called Action Jackson for a second opinion. They charged $125 for the service call and under $3k to fix it. Why so much cheaper? Bob Oates Plumbing lied about the depth of the break so they could charge more!

I called Andrew after I'd learned my tenant had paid them. He admitted that they had over charged her $100. I told him he needed to give her check back and he said he would. I told him then they could bill me.

On Monday John P from Bob Oates emailed my tenant telling her he wouldn't be giving her check back as promised. I called. Talked to him and to Reya and BOTH of them promised to send the check back and said they'd email to confirm.

John P also said they had over-charged by $100 and that his equipment must have been off to account for the difference in depth of the break. This is total BS. They were 100% trying to gouge me since I was not on-site the day of, and honestly, I'm sure a large part of it is because I'm a woman. So is my tenant. John spent a long time man-splaining to me how no plumbing companies in Seattle come out for a $125 service call fee (but WAIT! Action Jackson did! So why is this dude telling me my experience is wrong?) and then he tried to convince me that Action Jackson was trying to gouge me. I told him that we weren't dealing with how other companies do business, we were dealing with how he does business and that I'm the one he needs to deal with right now. He apparently doesn't like mouthy women since he hung up.

Then he sent an email later in the day to say I will hold the check that your tenant gave to us and not deposit it until we receive your check in the mail. NOT THE EMAIL HE PROMISED. So now he's 1) over-charged us, 2) exaggerated the depth of the problem to inflate a bid for repairs 3) repeatedly stated he would return the check and then gone back on his promise -- in other words, lied. There's absolutely NO WAY I'm sending him another check for $500 to give him TWO checks that total over $1100 combined that he can just decide he's going to cash? It' completely absurd.

Bottom line: This place will over-charge you, lie to you, verbally abuse you, and then you'll stay up late writing reviews for them. Definitely not worth the hassle.

Who should you call instead? I really liked Action Jackson. They were very nice, respectful, prompt and did good work at a reasonable price. I'll write them glowing reviews tomorrow!

great team of professionals that deliver quality work and are genuine nice people.

We have used Puget Sound Plumbing and Heating for our plumbing needs over the last 8 1/2 years. They are always professional and courteous and quick to respond to our needs. We had a water leak develop this afternoon and they were out within hours and had the problem resolved. I highly recommend their services.

I will definitely use Clearwater Leak Detection for any future needs. The staff is courteous, knowledgable and professional. I can not say enough positive things about them. I highly recommend them.

Excellent customer service and refreshingly honest!

I had him install a dishwasher and 2 toilets. The dishwasher shorted out underneath, and left evidence of it burning. The pro's who came after him said I should report him for the poor job he did. I'm thankful it didn't start a fire. One of the toilets is fine. The other is wobbly, and I need to yet another person in to fix that. In light of the service I got, I can't recommend him.

Had my water heater system need a purge and removal of air bubbles form the system. They came out within 3 days and fixed it very quickly.

The technician Norm was very knowledgeable and didn't try to upsell me on anything I didnt need.

I'm so glad I found Sharif. Now I have a plumber I can trust. Things that set Sharif and Watertite Plumbing apart:
1. When you call, you're actually talking directly to a plumber (Sharif). No intermediate person who just does scheduling and can't answer any of your questions.
2. Sharif will generally give you an estimate over the phone based on a description and pictures. None of this paying someone $100 just to come out and look at it nonsense. He'll also be honest about what factors that can't be evaluated this way might cause the estimate to change, but generally will stick with his original estimate and that's what you'll pay for the whole job.
3. He will keep in direct contact with you and update you if something's changed his schedule and he won't be able to make it when he estimated he would (no 4-hour windows sitting around at home wondering if someone will ever show up).
4. He'll tell you honestly about the price of different options and the pros and cons.
5. He'll use appropriate urgency to address a problem.

My interactions:
I first contacted Sharif about installing a smart water shutoff. Based on pictures, he gave me an estimate and said what problem might arise that would require additional work. This was totally different than the handful of other plumbers I called, where I spoke to a scheduling person who wanted to schedule a $100 for someone to come by for an estimate. I ended up installing the shutoff myself, but based on my interactions, I knew who I would go to the next time I had a plumbing problem. So when the waterline to my house started leaking, I called up Sharif on a Friday afternoon. He was able to come by that evening and worked in the dark to dig up and identify the leak. We talked through options and what they would cost. Because I had old rusted out galvanized, the whole thing had to be replaced. Throughout the process Sharif was communicative about the work needed and when he'd be doing it, didn't charge more than his original estimate (even when it turned out he needed to also move my interior shutoff), and gave some advice on unrelated plumbing things (like how I could make my sewage extractor less stinky).

Next time I have a plumbing issue, I wouldn't consider calling anyone else.

Our well stopped working entirely this morning. They came right out, replaced the pump and pressure tank, and by end of day, we could flush a John and brush our teeth. What a deal! The guys were great. Thank you, Home Advisor!

Only does drain cleaning, but doesn't install sewage ejector pumps. But Fritz answered immediately, gave lots of helpful pointers, and quoted drain cleaning at a price significantly less than large-company plumbers. I'll use him next time I need a blockage taken out!

I hired fixer twice in a row last week. In both instances the team showed up same day (which is insane given other contractors were months out and likely more expensive)!! Did the job on time. Hands down the most seamless and professional experience I have had with such tasks - and I have worked on some massive remodels/projects. I would hire them anyday
