Best Home Cleaning in Seattle WA

OVERALL: 9.7/10. Near Labour Day 2021, I noticed that there were puddles of water in my second bathroom, and freaked out - I couldn't tell if it was from a pipe burst, a ceiling leak, or something worse.

It turned out (after a lot of self-experimentation) that it was from the toilet (most likely the feed that goes into the toilet bowl itself) -- since it was from the original condo build in 2003, and this was 2021, so... I guess toilets can stop working too?

In any case, I had to scramble to get someone to fix it since I was afraid the leak would affect the floor beneath me (given how terribly this building was constructed, I wouldn't be surprised if the between floor spaces had issues).

I bought my own toilet from Home Depot (thankfully they had some toilets, but I didn't get a water-saving one like I wanted because, despite the rebate, I don't actually pay for water in my building, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯), and set out to find a plumber to install it. I tried to make sure I found a local business to support, so off I went!

1) VALUE FOR MONEY: 9/10. All things considered this turned out to be the cheapest option I had, since the other quote (Joe's 2 sons plumbing) was almost double what this one was. It came out to $523 (after tax) for labour and installation (of customer-provided toilet); the cost came out to be the same for either repair or replace ($375 for an onsite visit), but I needed to also change the angle stop for an extra $100 (labour inclusive). After tax, that seemed pretty reasonable, since I didn't know how to do this myself (Eero had mentioned it was pretty easy, but if it was my first time installing a toilet... maybe I should watch first).

2) QUALITY: 10/10. So far, no further leaks. I had a smarthome leak sensor near the toilet just in case, but I moved it elsewhere in the home as I realized these guys were legit, and I'm very happy with this off my back!

3) SERVICE: 10/10. The workmanship was solid - the most impressive thing I noticed was that I didn't need to move my over-toilet shelf to accommodate the plumbing work.

He simply worked around it, and installed the toilet successfully! The plumber's name was Eero - he was no-nonsense, and even answered some other quick questions about my hot water heater that I had concerns about.

The full turnaround was only six days, from initial contact to work completed (including a site visit to give me a free quote). I contacted them on September 3rd, and they completed the work on September 9, 2021. Jeremiah was responsive and explained everything in a very thorough and articulate manner (especially given my lack of understanding in the plumbing space).

Highly recommended. Did a great job replacing my pipes and clearing a blockage, and for less than a third the other guys' price.

Worst possible situation, hot water pipe leak on a late Sunday afternoon of a holiday weekend. (In the ceiling above my computer desk no less)

Called a couple '24 hour' plumbers, but Price Busters were the only ones that would send someone out. The plumber called back quickly, scheduled to be there within couple hours and showed up early. (Called ahead of time and everything)  Fixed the leak quickly and was super nice about the whole thing.

Aros was great. Punctual, knowledgable, friendly and willing to patiently explain what was going on in our weird sewer encap set up. He made solid recommendations...understanding the difference in costs and benefits of various options. I will certainly use him the next time something is wrong. NB: he only serves single family homes so look elsewhere for condos/town homes.

Al responded quickly to my request for an estimate.  Came out to my place, walked the loooong driveway with me down to the water meter. Answered my questions about the meter and shut off.  Measured for a potential water line replacement.  Patiently answered all of my questions that day and later on the telephone.  Provided a complete estimate in 24 hours which included an option for repair vs. replacement.  His professionalism, kindness and attention to detail were above and beyond.  First class all the way.

Was my go to for almost 10 years under any and all circumstances. No longer. Had a toothbrush flushed down the toilet while I was out of town. What should have been an easy fix...wasn't. Ended up paying $200 not to have the problem solved (snaked) and was told it was impossible the toothbrush was still the problem, when i got home and toilet wouldn't work again. Fixed it myself. Took the toilet off and lo and behold there was a toothbrush stuck in it. Weird. First time I was treated like a mark and it will be the last time. In the trades, you're reputation is only as good as your word and your work. Both were lacking in this case and I will not call nor recommend to anyone in the future.

Super efficient!  Will did a great job responding quickly to our query on Yelp and made himself available the next day. Sent him a picture (via text - couldn't make that work on Yelp) to help him scope out the small project. Very fair pricing and did a great job fixing the issue! Thanks, Will!

We just moved into our home in Northeast Seattle and knew that we would need to repair a break in the sewer line.  The guys with Pro Sewer Repair did that work as well as a relining.  The did a great job with minimal disruption at a fair price.  I highly recommend.

Awesome help is hard to find! Despite Brandon being extremely busy he was responsive, offered guidance via phone/email and was willing to be a source for me to ensure someone wasn't taking advantage of me if an additional plumber was required due to my only bathroom not functioning. I did what I could; however, couldn't rectify the situation and thankfully I waited because Brandon and his associate were professional, kind, efficient, and effective. Brandon went the extra mile for me and I'm super grateful. I was glad to cut him a check because he deserves it! He will be my go to if necessary as it's hard to find help like that as a single women-I'm sure many women know what I mean.

Thanks for all the help! I am so grateful!!

We had to deal with a plumbing emergency a month ago. Thomas was one of the first plumbers to call us back. He worked with our schedule to fix the issue. Great communication, final price matched initial estimate. We will definitely work with him again!
Thank you for the quick and quality repair.

The tech that came out was very skillful and knowledgeable.  He was able to locate our problem in our sewer line, it was dug up and fixed in the same day.  Everything was cleaned up and working perfectly.  Great company with a very professional staff from start to finish.  I definitely recommend them!

I needed a new electric water heater since the current one in my house was around 11 years old. I messaged Luke through Yelp and he provided an estimate quickly.  Later, I had Luke install an electric water heater in my house and he did a great job for a very good price. Would recommend him to anyone who needs a new water heater.

Christo help me replacing the 50 gallon water heater. He was super fast to respond and very friendly. The work was done efficiently with high quality. The work area was also left spotless after everything was done. Highly recommended

Summary: Broken promises, unprofessional service, and 2 days without sewer.

A week ago all of our home's plumbing backed up...an obvious main line issue. It was Saturday, so I called around to different plumbers, each of which told me it would be at least 3 hours before they could make it out to me. Finally I happened upon Mr. Rooter, and after a quick call, I was promised that someone would be to my house with a sewer scope (camera) in 1 hour! Finally I can relax, I thought. But after an hour and a half, the story changed.

It was now after 5pm and when I called again, I was answered with a somewhat drunken sounding ....hullo...??. Odd, I thought, but after confirming that it was in fact Mr. Rooter, I asked where the technician was. After a few minutes of bumbling around, the dispatcher told me that it would be about 3 more hours! I was obviously a bit put off by this, so I asked why that was the case, to which she told me that they only have one technician working and he is in Olympia. Having already waited this long, I decided to stick it out. I know that things happen, so I was willing to let this slide. So I waited.

Come 8pm and a technician named Bal was at my door, complaining about his long day. He looked around for about 30 minutes and finally quoted me a price on what it would take to cable my line. I asked about the camera and he informed me that he didn't have a camera, which made the entire house call pointless. He told me that he would get someone out to me first thing in the morning named Tom Jones. He then promised that he would call me within 20 minutes to confirm that they would make it out the next morning and left. Of course, that call never came, but again, I didn't really expect it to. I was willing to let it slide. So I called the dispatcher again, and was answered by the same ....hullo...??, and finally after confirming that it was in fact Mr. Rooter, confirmed that my appointment was set for the first thing in the morning. Of course we couldn't stay in our home that night, so we moved out for the night.

The next morning I got a call letting me know that Tom Jones was not going to be able to make it out to my house, so there wasn't anything they could do. I was beginning to feel less okay about the situation. I was now a full day into not having sewer and didn't seem to be any closer. After talking with the new dispatcher (who was far more professional than the girl on the phone the night before), I decided I was going to go to Home depot and rent my own sewer scope. Low and behold, on my way there, I was called and told that they magically had a camera at their disposal now and someone would be on their way to my house within the hour. The dispatcher also told me that she was going to have a manager call me the next day to make this situation right, which I appreciated the thought of, but which never ended up happening (still). So I waited and finally, two hours later, Chris showed up.

Chris was seemingly a bit under the weather, something he attributed to the night before, but he did his job and confirmed that our main line had collapsed and pointed out where the issue was. I appreciated Chris' work, but sadly it was too little, too late.

So again, if you are looking to get your plumbing fixed and have days to spend, don't mind consistent broken promises, and lackluster service, then Mr. Rooter might just be for you. Myself, I will take my business elsewhere and make sure that others I care about do the same.

Good- quick availability, fast work, problem resolved
Bad - quality of finished work/product, lack of transparency

Summary - if your problem requires replacing your toilet, I would recommend you to go to the store to ensure what is purchased meets your needs.

Details -
We had Michael's come in to look at a plumbing issue. The person who came to fix the problem suggested that we replace the entire toilet. I had specifically told them that I want the same kind of toilet before he went to the store to purchase. After the work was done, I found that the one installed did not match the base size, seat cover, handles. I was told that what he got was the only kind available. However, this weekend when my husband went to Lowe's (which is the closest place to us), he found the exact one like ours.

Considering I spent close to $600
(which includes about $100 including taxes to get rid of the old toilet), I am not super happy about how the new toilet looks. I don't like the plastic seat and cover and guess that can be replaced but that's for another day. There was no transparency about the options for the new toilet or the breakdown of the cost (how much was spent on the parts vs labor) and there wasn't much choice i had when I saw the new one after it was all installed.

We found out about Leon through the building where we've been renting, because he used to do maintenance there. We contacted him and several competitors to get quotes on some minor work for our new condo. We chose Leon because of his recommendations, his great communication and flexibility, and his rates. He also saved us some money by showing us that some of the things noticed by our inspector were not issues or ones we could easily do ourselves if we wanted to. We will definitely hire him again if we need future help.

I used All Water plumbing (Vlad) for the 3rd major job on my house and he was not only amazing in his workmanship  but he was prompt, arrived on time, very honest quote, and all round excellent service ...highly recommended

The electrical technician added a plug and completed installation of a new dishwasher and changed a plug to GFI.  All this was done quickly and for a good price.

They robbed me $ 750 for a 30min under the sink job and quote $560 for putting the dish washer in. (Btw Home Depot charge 150 for installation). Good lesson learned for me, if it is a good business w high customers review it won't send mail coupon. If you have nothing else to spend money try this.

In December we had a slow drain issue with a shower and a toilet. Hunt's came in to check on it and used a scope which cost $300 not including tax. Their equipment had a crack and the technician couldn't really tell what the issue was. He said that the line seemed clear and went on his way.
It's been months and the issue came up again. We called Hunt's and they sent two techs. The guys were very casual and weren't that professional. I might say down right rude except when my husband came home, they suddenly turned nice and polite.
To diagnose the main tech flushed the toilet and said it looks like everything is fine. I told them no we have a draining issue. So I went upstairs and turned on the showers and flushed toilets. Sure enough, the drain issue appeared. The tech said, I don't know what to tell you. It looks fine. But If you want us to scope it's $300 is that what you want? I said, We have a drain issue. We need it fixed and if you need to scope it then yes.
He got the scope and was pretty curt as if he really didn't want to be there. He said there was a big break in the sewer line and it was under the house. He showed me the screen and I couldn't even really tell where the break was it was so blurry. He said they would have to dig the foundation but had a much more expensive solution that will not require digging. He said they would shoot epoxy through the line at the cost of $8600. We agreed to the price as we were in an emergency situation.

They came in the following day and dug out the area right outside of the house. The main tech said HE BROKE the line because it was made of electrical piping. I had to call my builder to confirm that its and older house and they might have broken and old pipe that attached to the septic.
The tech said to repair, they will have to dig through the house after all. He was very smug saying- I hope it's not under the kitchen cabinets. He said he didn't know exactly where the break was and that it was going to cost $1,000 to $1200 more than the original quote. I asked I thought digging was cheaper than the epoxy. He said, I really don't want to be jackhammering. That's not what we're here to do.
I called another plumbing company and this time a very professional gentleman said he would scope the line for $39 ($43.00 with tax) and will give me the videos so I can make a decision after. His equipment was so clear that I was able to see where the line break was. He showed me exactly what needed to be done to repair the issue was super professional and courteous. He came at a slightly lower price and I needed to make a decision which company to go with.
I called Hunts and told them that when we gave them our credit card, we had agreed to the epoxy solution but haven't gotten any updated scope of work after their tech broke the existing pipe. They directed me to the plumbing manager, Aaron, who was really nice. The issue was that they charged our credit card $4300.00 and couldn't ensure how quickly they could refund it if I cancelled the job.

I decided to follow through with Hunt's mainly because Aaron said he could match the price of the other company and that he was going to guarantee that the job would be done right. That was Friday March 19.

The job was to start today March 20. Aaron leaves me a message at 7 am saying that he had bad news. His crew called in sick and can't do the job. He'd try to get it done tomorrow. All the while we have been without proper plumbing and have been leaving the house to a family member's to use the bathroom shower etc. We've been washing dishes with a hose and laundry has piled up.

I'm leaving this negative review as a PSA to make people aware that Hunt's may not be the best option out there. They have proven to be overpriced, with older equipment, lackadaisical crew and worse yet supremely unreliable despite making assurances otherwise. They were quick to make charges on my credit card and iffy regarding the timeline of refunds.

I will update this review to recommend the company that we are going with once the job is done.
