Best Toilet Repair in Seattle WA

Needed a washer replaced in the upstairs tub and a portable shower disconnected, days prior to listing our house. Appointment set for the day following first contact.  Arrow was everything that I wanted in a plumber - knowledgeable, fast, informative, and reasonable priced.  He even helped to cart the portable shower off to garage!  I so appreciated his help, along his his keen sense of humor.  Will definitely call Green Planet Plumbing for any future plumbing needs.

Quick and efficient service. Installed a new stove plug. Did a great job for reasonable price. Definitely recommend and would use again.

Jeff is great. He does quality work. Doesn't overcharge or try to talk you into anything you don't need. He fixed a whole list of things for us. All done well and even fixed a broken cabinet hinge that he happened to notice.  Not always easy to get a hold of but worth being patient.  We will definitely use his services again and would recommend him.

This family outfit is now my default-- GoTo, plumbing solution! I have two old toilets that needed to have their internals replaced and were constantly running after being flushed and really spiking my water bills. Since I didn't want to take the time to do the research on finding all the right replacement parts and doing all the work myself, I called multiple plumbing companies to help me solve the problem and no one wanted to bother! In fact, the first company came out to see what they could do and decided that they didn't want to fix anything, then charged me $48 dollars just for showing up and saying no! I was enraged. So, I started searching for other local plumbing outfits and found these guys here on Yelp and saw the great reviews and decided to give them a try and I'm sure glad I did! The nice office lady took my call (and toilet model info) and said it wouldn't be a problem and scheduled a date for them to come out after the parts had arrived--they did not charge me in advance for the parts! The plumber who came to our house (John) actually called a bit early on the scheduled date and asked if he could come a bit sooner since he was free and we said sure! He was a clean cut polite guy in his 30s and he had both toilets fixed and ready to go in under an hour! The price was completely reasonable and we were very happy with the results! We will absolutely do business with this excellent little family company again! We give them five big stars!

Found the via community reference, and Bill is AWESOME!!

He came over on initial visit, diagnosed the problem, came back 3 days later (when we had someone at home) and knocked out the problem, fixed the issues, and was a pleasure to interact with. Both he and the lady who schedules his time were professional and a real breath of fresh air!!!!

Double thumbs up!

We had a gas leak in our house and despite being extremely busy, Dave came out and fix our leak that morning!

Great from start to finish.  Excellent communication.  Very flexible to work with my schedule.  I had three toilets (two very old ones) to be replaced.  They arrived right when Erik said they would.  They had all the work done in less than 2.5 hours.  Took all the old toilets and everything with them as well as all the cardboard from the new toilets.   They were friendly and were happy to let my dog wander around and check on them so that she felt good about them being there and I didn't have to lock her in a room for hours.  Charged a very fair price.  Would definitely use this business again without thinking of looking for someone else.  I highly recommend this company.

Sam is really great. I had an underground downspout get clogged. Sam was able to come on the same day during a big rain and got it fixed. He also explained to me what is the root cause and showed me other tips for how to maintain all the pipelines I have. Highly recommended!

I cannot even begin to say how AMAZING Tech City Plumbing is, and especially Tim! This is our second time using Tim. Originally we were referred to Elvis (great customer service) who referred us to Tim because of availability. Number ONE: they are so honest!! Let's get to the point, no one wants to pay more than they need to. Tim was honest, and told us what we needed to repair but also told us things that didn't need to be done. He looked out for us. Number two: he responded to our request (arrived at our house) within 24 hours, both times! One of the visits we actually didn't have a problem, he showed us and didn't charge us. Who does that these days? I figured he would charge us a big fee for coming out, and instead told us that he values our business?!?! Where do you see that these days? I don't. The point is: when you hire a plumber, you look for integrity, honesty and a strong work ethic. Tim has all these. I would trust him with any plumbing job, big or small. I will be telling all of my friends and family about him. Look no further, go with Tech City and ask for Tim! Know that your money is going in the right place.

My dishwasher and food disposal were backing up into each other. I called the plumber *highly recommended* by my realtor... and ended up paying $875 to have my basement flooded with pretty significant damage. Think twice before you call this company and definitely ask the people who show up to walk through the house before they do anything.

Unfortunately, the two (very sweet but young and now, I'm realizing, inexperienced) techs who showed up didn't do a walk through first (of our 1943 house, which is... bound to have some nuances). They then immediately decided to jet, not snake, or even test a jet first, and flooded my basement causing at least $4k in damage. There were a number of misses made by this service and when I asked if I could talk to a manager before billing, I was told they couldn't leave the premises without getting payment. It made me feel very uncomfortable to have been forced into a solution not knowing any other options, forced into a price, and left with no recourse to challenge it.

Absolutely disappointed and feel very disrespected as a customer. Not to mention, still undoing the damage left. The silver lining: I called another company (2 Sons Plumbing) and they diagnosed the issue and fixed it without flooding anything and at HALF THE PRICE.

I'm so glad I found Layne's Plumbing!  We just moved into our house and noticed a leak under the sink. The previous owners did their own DIY work and their plumbing was shotty.  I messaged them on Yelp and Crissy answered right away even though it was a weekend.  She was very informative and helpful.  

Sean & Gary came out on Monday to assess the situation and give us a quote.  Brandon came back the same day and fixed our pipes!  He was so quick and also really knowledgeable.  He answered all of my wife's questions as she watched how they did the work (she suddenly developed an interest for plumbing lol) and he even taught her some stuff!!  Brandon got everything done in under 30 mins and even checked out our other bathrooms to make sure everything was ok.  

I would definitely recommend and use them again if the need arises!

They came out when they said they would but I have called three times over two weeks because I never received an estimate.  

The owner said, Yeah we have problems with him submitting estimates sometimes.  I will talk to him.

The estimator told me, Yeah I will get that over right away.

Crickets.  
Just have the integrity to tell me you don't want the job.  I hired someone else once I realized this.  I could have saved two weeks.

They were quick to answer. Their availability was very accommodating & quick. Service was good, price is a bit high. Bathroom sink was clogged it ended up being close to $400. They fixed the clog super quick, in and out in under 20mins including the initial review.

I've had the misfortune to need plumbing services multiple times. Seattle concrete sewer lines are definitely problematic.
They've been out, took care of the emergency clearing flooding my basement apartment. They had a hard time clearing root balls, but didn't give up requiring it to be dug out.
They did the clearing, came back with multiple option for the long term. It's not cheap, and I'll compare prices, but their quality of work and people have been primo.
Sewer lines are not something to mess with. I was impressed with Josh for estimating and Ron for the learning.

Emailed Aaron on a thursday for a backed up toilet.  No hurry as i have 2 other bathrooms so he scheduled Brian for Monday afternoon.  Brian came within the time frame and took  minutes to clear.  Easy fix and very nice. Would highly recommend and will call again when i need plumbing service.

Absolutely recommend JV Plumbing.

We had an old water heater (close to 20 years old) that was due for replacement. Our recent experience with a furnace replacement and a large commercial plumbing contractor in the area (you see their ads on TV) left us wanting to find a proper local plumber. The big guys were horribly expensive, big on the high pressure upsell (you know it's going to be bad when they send a sales consultant before the job), unreliable scheduling and slap-dash install.

So we poked around and found a number of local plumbers. I researched reviews and photos of installs, noting if they were installing quality components or the big box crap. And we took a shot with JV.

I reached out to Jose and he got back to me immediately. Understood my issue, what I wanted, and made clear recommendations. He didn't try to turn a simple water heater replacement into a heat pump install or replacing all my pipe with copper like the big guys do.

I told Jose there was no hurry, this was simply something on my honey-do list, but he was out the next day to look at the situation before he gave me a quote (another positive sign, he actually investigated the job and what was needed).

And they had an open slot in their schedule for the next day. Showed up on time, did an excellent job, and pointed out where the previous heater install had problems and corrected them.

Jose was crystal clear on what he recommended, what it would cost, and did exactly what he promised he said he would do. Can you ask for more than that?

What JV Plumbing ISN'T? Unskilled labor that takes the garbage toilet you bought at Lowe's and slaps it in with the same level of work you'd get from the neighbor who does it after the game and a few beers. It's top-notch professional plumbing work at an honest price.

We're likely going to be selling our house later this year and now I've got a high quality water heater, installed TO CODE. One big item off my honey-do list.

Thanks, Jose.

We needed a sewer scope to include with the documentation for selling our house.  The Company needed to reschedule and knocked $50 off the $250 they charge for this service.  So far, so good.  The plumber shows up and finds our clean out is inaccessible due to a stripped screw holding the cover in place.  He decides the best route is to remove the toilet and perform the scope from there.  He is super polite and didn't charge us for the additional effort required.  Still, so far, so good.  The scope work is performed and we are told there is a small root intrusion in the line.  Now the fun begins...  how small is small and how far out is it located?  We can't tell you, we don't know - you can see the video.  We explain that we need a accurate report for our documentation. The plumber then prepares our bill and results but includes a reference to $5300 of recommended work.  

We have had no issues with this sewer.  Adding a recommendation to the scope is not going to look good to a potential buyer.  We ask for the recommendation to be separated out from the bill.  Okay, they can do that.  But, the invoice still shows the reference to the recommendation.  We did not ask for a recommendation, just the scope.  The plumber seemed to understand but referred it to his supervisor.  The supervisor doesn't seem to understand.  All they appear to want is to attach this $5300 to somebody - either us or a potential buyer.  Did I mention that there are no problems with our sewer.  We merely want full disclosure and the buyer can go from there.  This recommendation that Mr. Rooter refuses to remove is a scare tactic that could affect the sale of our house.

Thank goodness we're only out $200 and totally irritated with trying to explain this issue over and over again to only be stone walled.  The solution is to use a different scoping service and make sure they understand what we need before we hire them.

Now, my personal rant.  Listening to their male centric misogynistic phone hold advertising is disgusting.  Even though my husband handled this issue, I'm a trades woman and am skilled in construction and know more than average.  Why Mr. Rooter doesn't supply their plumbers with a screw extractor or the skills required to simply remove a stripped screw is beyond me... Why the company can't provide a simple scoping of the line without an upsell is frustrating.  We will not recommend their services or use them in the future.

Update:  Just got the written estimate.  Not even close to what we asked them to do.  This place is only going to try to get into your pockets as deep as they can.  We asked for an accurate scope of the sewer line (that's what we paid for).

Called them the first night we moved in and they tried to troubleshoot with us over the phone before coming out.  Once we couldn't resolve the issue, they were over within an hour tops (after normal business hours).  A few days later we discovered another massive problem in our new house and they came out to assist us with that as well and did a great job.  Highly recommend this company.

PSA: don't use southwest plumbing. Called them due to their mailer and other plumbers never returning my call. I have waited all afternoon for someone to show. Still no plumber available. Asked to be someone's first appointment of the day and they couldn't even give me that as they don't schedule them the day before. He hemmed and hawed at my request to be the first appointment so I just canceled.

I should have read the reviews here first.

BEWARE:  This company has deceptive pricing practices.  I looked up plumbers in Maple Valley and this company came up as they own www.maplevalleyplumbers.com. I should have been more careful with my search for a plumber to fix a simple leaking elbow on a source line in our crawl space.  They said the could have someone out there quickly, which was appreciated. They also openly disclosed they had a $99.00 minimum dispatch fee.  I figured the fix would be around $250 to $300, so I had no issue with that. So far so good.  The guys showed up and after a quick look at the job said it would be $639 (!).  I asked how that was broken out (parts and labor, eg) and he simply said 'This is my flat fee...we don't break it down by labor time which I found odd. I was already into them $99 and they were there, so even though I knew I was being gouged, I agreed. They did the fix in about 90 minutes with about $20 in parts.  But THEN, when he totaled up the bill, he added BACK the $99 fee....so with tax I was asked to pay $802 for a VERY SIMPLE and fast plumbing repair.  I argued that the dispatch fee should not be applied if you actually agree to the work and that's there only if you don't get the work for the time to provide an estimate. He said that's not our policy. Note that nowhere on their paperwork is that disclosed. I was getting the impression that this was a racket and I decided to take my dispute up with the manager/owner and not the plumber.  I called them and was told the owner Dave would call me. No call. I called again and they said he will call you tomorrow at 10AM. No call. I called again. I finally got a voicemail from a John. I called them back and asked for him...but they said they did not have a John that would have called me.  They said the owner would call me for sure. That was over a week ago.  Any small business owner that doesn't have the guts or gumption to follow up with a customer must know they are in the wrong.  Oh, they cashed my check THAT SAME DAY the work was done...as they were clearly scared of me stopping payment.  I should have.  Make sure you get at least one more estimate if you call these guys out. Don't be rushed to agree to their pricing!
