Simple Plumber LLC

Joe is a fantastic plumber. He came to my house and fixed all my problems with my disposal, dishwasher and air gap. Everything worked perfectly after he was finished. It was easy to make an appointment with his wife Sally, he arrived on time, knew exactly what to do and got it done quickly and at a great price. I couldn’t be happier with the work he did. Several months later I had a major water leak after the a big box store dishwasher install and I couldn’t use my kitchen sink. The store couldn’t get anyone out for four days! I called Joe, sent him some pictures of the leak, he diagnosed it over the phone, explained what was going on and got it fixed for me within hours. What he did was way above and beyond any of my expectations and I was so grateful. So not only is Joe a great plumber, he is a wonderful human being and will always be my go-to plumber!

I'm lucky to know a caring professional like Joe. I've had several odd piping issues at my house, interior and exterior, and Joe has always been HUGELY helpful over the phone and in person. He really cares about his craft and customers - and he doesn't just fix things; he improves them. He has longevity and sustainability in mind. He is a prompt and clear communicator (read: explainer of his craft to simpletons like me), and a real cool guy. I can't say enough nice things about Joe!

It's such a relief to have Joe to turn to for plumbing issues. I recently discovered a leak under my kitchen sink, thanks to the water alarm that kept it from becoming a bigger problem. There are several plumbers that are rated highly here in West Seattle but the reviews for Simple Plumber spoke to Joe's consistent integrity and skills, both of which are important to me. It's clear that his clients trust him -- trust that I see is well deserved.

When he arrived, he promptly diagnosed the issue as an aging (11-year- old) failing faucet. He recommended his three top brands, and I called my favorite hardware store (Junction True Value) to see if they had any in stock. They had all three brands and were waiting for him when he arrived a few minutes later. He selected a terrific faucet and then immediately got to work installing it when he got back.

In addition to doing excellent work, he recommended some other service people, who I will call on as well. Some of the most helpful tips concerned what to look for when repairing/lining a sewer, which I'll need to do at some point in the next several years. I had just gotten conflicting reports from a couple different companies. Joe recommended a company I was not familiar with, and told me that the lining comes in two thicknesses -- one super thin and the other quite a bit thicker. He said that if we don't specify that we want the thicker lining, companies will often install the thin one, which doesn't hold up nearly as long. But instead of lining, he strongly recommended pipe bursting for a fix that will last decades. I also learned from him that hydro-jetting is much easier on the sewer pipe than grinding (which had been recommended to me by someone else). All of this was extremely helpful information.

Thank you Joe for your excellent work and advice. It's a great comfort knowing that I can turn to you the next time I need a plumber!

This is the best plumber I have ever used in the 35 years of living in my old house. Joe did a great job and fixed the problem in just a few minutes. He was quick to respond the same day I called and the price was very reasonable. I wi recommend him to every one of my friends.

Joe did an excellent job installing a new toilet for us. When it comes to house work it's always great to find people you can trust. Moving forward I'll definitely always call Joe for any plumbing projects that may arise at our home. Thank you Joe!

Joe with Simple Plumber has done two jobs for me. He fixed a leaky toilet with complicated plumbing by rebuilding the interior toilet. Most recently he fixed a broken sink and dishwasher. His work is high quality and he is a very nice guy! I would recommend him to anyone with plumbing issues.

Sallie and Joe were great to work with. We had good communication and Joe provided smart suggestions/solutions for our faucet issue. I recommend this team for your plumbing needs.

Simple Plumber is simply the best! We had Joe over (again) to replace our tub faucet (had a cheap faucet with a broken diverter). Upon opening the bathroom wall, he found some galvanized pipe was still running through the house. Some of it appeared to turn behind the bedroom wall, but he couldn't be sure where it led. He replaced what he could see with copper, but didn't let the job get away from him. He could have easily opened up our bedroom wall and turned the whole project into something much larger (and more costly for us). Long story short, our new faucet is wonderful. It is rare to have a professional who is capable, respectful, honest, and downright funny. If you like, he will involve you in each step of the process. And, if you ask nicely, he may even let you use some of his fancy tools -- So. Much. Fun. Thanks again, Joe!

The Sump pump in my basement failed and I found Simple Plumber on Nextdoor. Joe (the owner) was great. Good price and great personality.
He does repairs and sewer clean out. I’m very happy and would highly recommend him. I live in West Seattle.

SimplePlumbers was great. I called for an estimate to install a leaky kitchen faucet. Got a call back in 15min and a ball park cost, about how how they charge. Booked the install and Joe, came right on time. He took care of the faucet and tightened up a couple other things while he was under the sink. Also great conversation. All around great service. Definitely will call on them in the future.

Life saver. Called simple plumber, Joe came same day service. We had just a trickle of hot water, he took very little time to figure out the problem and take care of it. no time at all we had for flow restored. He was very polite efficient and I’d highly recommend him to anyone.

I had a problem with 1946 sinks and pipes in my thrice remodeled home. Laundry room.. (where all the big pipes converge!)
What I liked about Joe is that he spent time thinking about the best way to fix considering what I wanted to see in the end. This is the 2nd time I've used Simple Plumber and was very satisfied with his ideas, work ethic (a 9-hour day) and the itemization of his work on the bill. I highly recommend Simple Plumber for small jobs and large. (I've had both).

I have hired Joe twice now and both times, he did an excellent job. Communication with he and his wife was always very easy, costs were transparent, jobs done well, and he's even given me tips on how to fix simple things myself without needing to pay for it. He explains everything thoroughly and in terms that I can understand. I am always happy to support this family-run business and can't recommend them enough.

We had a problem with our kitchen sink so we called the best plumber in Seattle and they recommended simple plumber. Joe was a meticulous gentleman who is immediately figure out what is the problems with our disposal and pipes. He recommended us the best solution to our home. He is honest and professional plumber I can higly recommend.
Thank you Mr. Schafer

Honest and kind workmanship. Joe takes the time to really find-out what the problem is. He’s excellent at putting things into perspective - my mountain really is just a mole hill. He doesn’t suggest any unnecessary work; only what’s needed to get the problem resolved. Simple Plumber is my go-to every time.

When our older house was having some drainage problems in the basement for which I’d spent weeks looking at diy fixes. Joe identified the problem basically immediately and helped us find an ideal solution for a fairly big problem! We appreciate his awesome demeanor and knowledge; we will absolutely be the first person we contact with any future concerns. Thanks Joe!!

I contacted Simple Plumber to replace some leaky valves underneath my 20-year old sinks. They gave me advice on how to fix the issue myself and saved me a lot of trouble. Thanks!

These folks are great and should be the first call you make for plumbing issues. We had a backed up kitchen sink yesterday and had compounded the problem by trying to fix it ourselves. I called at 4:15 PM, during a wicked wind and rain storm. Joe was at my house by 5. Problem solved and all cleaned up by 6:15. Just good, honest, reliable service here.

I was able to quickly schedule Joe to take a look at our dishwasher. Turns out it was a very minor/non-issue and they didn't charge me anything! This was very appreciated and we'll be coming back.

I couldn't recommend Simple Plumber highly enough! Joe was absolutely lovely and totally saved me from my plumbing disaster. Fast, friendly, excellent service!!

Joe is a very detail oriented plumber. I have always appreciated his contribution to the industry. Joe thanks for your help with my project.

A pleasure to work with. Responsive, prompt, reasonable and completely professional. Highly recommended.

I came back from vacation and my dishwasher had some standing water. I called Joe and he immediately got back with me about some troubleshooting on it. Thankfully it was just a tripped breaker.

Great job, price was very good, professional. Joe was wonderful to work with.

Excellent service. Very professional.
