Best Residential Plumbing in Seattle WA

Best company ever to work for and company wise ......

Kerry was very nice ! Funny and helpful. The follow up was very challenging. I wanted to order a vanity and called 4 times, was told I would get an email from Kerry twice, asked if I wanted to pay (when I hadn’t even ordered yet) and overall will likely not use best plumbing in the future.

Fantastic service! Drake came out the day after I called for help with my kitchen sink, which was slowly draining and leaking from the trap. He was able to effectively fix the slow drain immediately, but the initial fix he had for the leak turned out to be insufficient. All it took was a call and he came back later that day. After some more troubleshooting, he was able to effectively fix the issue, which turned out to have multiple steps of complexity. Drake even provided multiple options that I could choose, outlining the pros and cons of each. Lastly, I also greatly appreciated how willing Drake was to educate me; he answered my many questions, and taught me some plumbing tips as well as how to prevent these issues from happening again.

Jesus and Liam were great and helped us with the gas leak same day. Highly recommend.

We had a clogged bathtub and I called Pioneer because a friend of mine told me he used them with success. They were excellent. They did show up an hour late, but they called and told me this two hours prior so I could adjust. Things happen at sites, I get it, but they took the time and had the courtesy to call and tell me they were working on another clients problem still. That stood out to me because they wanted to take the time to fix an issue and still had the foresight to keep me in the loop. When they got to my place they were nice, efficient, and fixed the problem in less than 20 minutes. For that they get 5 stars.

They're the first and only company I called to have my pipes replaced. I had no idea how much it was going to cost, so when Doug (who was super nice, btw) came out and gave me a quote that was about half of what I had expected, AND typically gets it done in 3 hours not days I said lets do it. Took a little over a month to have the actual work done - by another plumbing co, which was fine but a little unusual in my opinion lol. I guess I just assumed that I was dealing with a local company.

In any case, everyone from start to finish was very pleasant and professional. I've had no problems in the 6 months since the work was done. My only issue is the number of emails I've received since the work was done asking me to review them on yelp, google etc. I can understand a few times but weekly x 6 months is too much. Then again, I am here writing this, so....

Austin did a great job - showed up on time, assessed the problem with my shower, shared a clear estimate, and fixed it promptly. Would recommend!

TJ and Sean were punctual, professional and personable. They cleared out the main drain and diagnosed the problem with our toilet at a reasonable fee. I would definitely use Bob Oates Plumbing again.

Nick and his team replaced our old galvanized pipes. They were respectful, professional and efficient, not to mention their bid was thousands less than some others and done in less than a day. They cut far fewer holes in our walls than some estimates projected and patched them well afterwards. I can't imagine a better experience. Would recommend to anyone looking to repipe their home.

I had Ryan plumb for a new tub, shower, and bathroom sink. He also installed a new toilet. Ryan always showed up when he said he would, was very good at communicating, very respectful of my home, and is HONEST. His installation was professionally done, and he cleaned up after each visit.
Ryan also installed a recirculation pump which produces instant hot water to the bathrooms that are located on the opposite side of the house where the hot water tank sits. This now saves us several gallons of water each time we turn on a faucet instead of waiting for the hot water to arrive.
I higher recommend Ryan for any of your plumbing needs.

Watch out for these guys, as they will try to rip you off as much as possible! Very dishonest people.
They inspected our 5-yr old tankless water heater and identified that a part had to be replaced. After we gave them the go ahead on replacing the part (heat exchanger) worth < $300, without our consent, they replaced the whole unit (which they provided themselves with a 60% mark-up for $2,000). And then they threatened consequences if we didn't pay the price immediately.
When we asked in a respectful manner why the mark-up was unreasonable and why we hadn't been notified of switch from part replacement to unit, Evan (owner) started using curse words and started threatening.
After we paid them, we asked for our old unit (one day after their service), they said they had tossed it out and it couldn't be retrieved.

Having said all of that, they responded promptly with a same day service and everything was back online and working after 3 hours, so if you don't mind them stealing from you, this business can be a good choice.
We recommend getting a 2nd opinion if they tell you the unit has to go.

Very professional, fast and quality work.

Simon made time in his schedule to see us same day. He found the leak in 30 minutes and saved us tons. Well worth it! Would absolutely recommend

I used Zoltan to help me plumb an existing shower that I demo'ed. Zoltan caught a few code violation issues that I didn't catch which was well worth of his services. Zoltan is a Master Plumber and highly skilled. I am in the construction industry as well and Zoltan is the best residential plumber I've worked with in the Seattle area. I have elected to sole source to Zoltan for my future new construction projects.

Honest and professional. Explains entire process with options. Very fair prices

Very well. Mike and Bob arrived on time. Diagnosed source of leak in crawl space quickly. Left to get materials to do repair and finished it promptly. Very polite. Repair was costly but $65 coupon for Angie's list brought price down to a more reasonable range. Would hire again.

I cannot say enough things about Todd and Sound Sewer Inspection. I am under contract for a house and had another company out for a sewer scope inspection. Without getting into the details, they couldn't perform the inspection via the bathrooms but ended up charging me regardless. I was feeling a little jaded about the whole sewer scope inspection process but hoped there was a more customer-friendly sewer scope business out there.

A couple days after my initial attempt at a sewer scope, contractors at the house located the sewer cleanout under the patio (it'd been completely buried so we had no idea it was there; boards had to be removed to expose the cleanout). I called up Todd and asked how quickly he would be able to get out and do an inspection--by now I'd lost quite a bit of time and wanted to extend closing by as few days as possible. Todd said he could be there in 45 minutes!

Todd arrived right on time. He was super friendly and immediately got to work. He talked me through the process as he was doing it and showed me where my line met the sewer. There were a couple rocks that somehow got into the pipe, and he even tried his best to knock some loose as he was doing the inspection! Because he ONLY does sewer scopes and no other plumbing work, he is super objective about what actually needs to be done. Because some of the rocks couldn't be knocked free, he said we could probably go rent some roto equipment to knock them loose ourselves, so we wouldn't get gouged hiring a company to do it. I really appreciated his objective advice! He turned the report and video around super quickly so I could share it with the seller and try to get the rock issue resolved ASAP.

Overall, you can't go wrong hiring Todd for a sewer inspection. I will definitely use him down the road if I move again, and will point my friends and family to him as well for their sewer scope needs!

We identified an issue with our main water line on Saturday night. Called on Sunday AM, had Andy the owner over to have a look in Sunday afternoon, and scheduled work for Tuesday. They dealt with everything (city, etc), and work was completed as expected - on time and on budget. We had water that evening. Yard looked perfect. Great service from a family company. Highly recommended.

Evan Conklin is a dirty weasel. Roughly two years ago we hired him to replace a 7 year old water heater in one of our rental properties. The water heater is located in the attic, a place we obviously don't see much of. Well recently when our tenants called and said they had no hot water we called Evan to take a look at things. He said the water heater was broken again and that we would need to replace it again. We couldn't believe it. Our gut told us to get a second opinion . We have now been told the water heater we currently have in the attic is from 2006. Evan Conklin charged us for a brand new heater that he never even installed. Be careful.
