Ben's Plumbing

They showed up on time. Got the parts and fixed our shower in a very timely manner. Will definitely be contacting Ben's plumbing for any other plumbing issues.

We had an unexpected plumbing problem occur during a washer/dryer install. Fortunately, Ben's Plumbing was able to send someone over the same day. Nic did an excellent job. He was conscientious, thorough, and professional. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a plumber.

What fantastic service?! We had a leak in our townhouse that we only noticed when we saw a spot of mold! We got an enthusiastic recommendation for Ben's plumbing. He stopped by and diagnosed the problem in less than 5 min. One of his team members stopped by soon after and was done with repairs in just about an hour. We even paid with a portable credit card reader. This has been such a relief! Thank you.

We had a water main leak that may have resulted from work done on a neighbors property. Their contractor said he would bring a plumber in to fix it, but the plumber turned out to be the contractor, and he had no idea what he was doing; he started the job, and then quit after we found that he double-billed us for materials. Another plumber quoted an astronomical price, and couldn't get to it for two weeks. Two more never called back.

Two guys from Ben's/HD Partners showed up the next day, and knew exactly what needed to be done. They got parts from their shop, and 1-1/2 hours later the pipe was replaced with solid fittings, both deep holes filled in, and the sidewalk dirt hosed down, for about 1/4 of what the other plumber quoted. Very competent and professional...worked fast and got the job done quickly at a fair price.

I've heard of a few contractors doing stellar work for new customers to get great reviews, and then gouging them later, so I'm hoping that this is a company that always does stellar work at a fair price. I'll be calling Ben's again, so we'll find out. ;-)

Received service through HD Partner, Brian was great and install my new replaced water heater quickly. He also provided feedback what to do with our gas radian heat line incase we want to install ductless mini split AC. Overall, we are very pleased with the professionalism and speed of the work!

This was hands-down THE BEST experience I've ever had working with any contractor.

Ben, Chris, and Callie all went above and beyond for me when a pipe burst in my home.

Ben was prompt, professional, and kind --- he quickly came to the rescue with a competitive bid for the project that started faster than any other plumbing team offered to.

Callie coordinated logistics and her professionalism and crystal clear communication made the process effortless. She even made herself available by cell phone outside of regular business hours.

Chris did the repiping and his craftsmanship was perfect. On top of that, he is truly a man of his word. He honored the original quote for the work, which as it proceeded, wound up requiring more work than the original scope.

You will be doing yourself a HUGE favor if you work with this team.

You can't do better in the Seattle area. There's likely no better team this size in all of Washington.

Thank you Ben's Plumbing + HD Partners! You rock.

Ben and his team are super knowledgeable and efficient. I have always found their prices to be fair and moderate. I will always call Ben's Plumbing first when having a plumbing issue!

Should have called them first - another plumber made a mess. Brian took a look, gave us the right answer the other guy didn't know, came back and fixed it as soon as the part was available so we weren't stuck worrying about another leak in the meantime. He also replaced our sink and did great work.

I have used Ben's plumbing for all of my plumbing needs for the past few years.  Finally decided to have a shower head upgrade and replace the disposal with our most recent visit.   It's always been easy to schedule and their work is top notch.

Ben and his crew are simply the best. They've done a few different installs and fixes for us over the years. This time they replaced our toilets and bathroom faucets/drains. One of the toilets had a defective part, and the warranty replacement was going to take a few weeks, so Ben found and installed a replacement part from a returned toilet in the meantime so that it remained functional. Once the replacement part came in, he came back and swapped it in.

Ben also fixed a hose bib that would always squeal when the sprayer opened or closed. The cause was mysterious, but he eventually figured it out and now it works perfectly!

Ben not only gets the job done, he also teaches you how to diagnose problems and do routine maintenance. I used to put drain cleaner down our bathroom sinks, but won't anymore after Ben showed me what it did to the pipe threads! Instead he showed me how to remove the cool drain plugs he installed (which pop out easily--no tools required) in order to fish out the hair that accumulates.

If you have plumbing needs, call Ben. You won't regret it.

Ben is always the guy I want on the job, and for the past couple years he's been quick, responsive, and a professional at the work I've needed him to get done for me. He's the local guy that always has your best interest in mind - for example this last testing work he did, he noticed that whoever performed my last sprinkler testing forgot to turn the system back on! He truly caught & made a life-saving fix for us, which shows his professional knowledge and attention to what's going on around him. Thanks again for the great work and conversation, Ben, see you next year I hope!

We've used Ben's Plumbing for the last ten years or so. Some times it's been for planned work as part of a remodel and several times they've been for emergencies like a burst water tank.  Each interaction has been very positive - good communication, thorough follow-through, personal service, and trustworthy. It's great to have a local company that's been so responsive and reliable over the years.  (Including this morning's unexpected call for help!) Thank you!

These guys are awesome!  From the basics to challenging the City on a leak, they are with you every step of the way. The business office should not be forgotten as Kayla (sp?) is a peach and great at having someone get back to you when she says they will. Lifetime plumbers for me. 10 STAR RECOMMENDED!!!

We had broken glass in our disposal, which was jammed and the sink was backing up. Ben was recommended by a friend of our cousin. He took my call, asked me to text over the information (I think he was driving) then called me back and walked me through how to fix the problem myself, which I did with a minimum of fuss. As he put it, I may have saved you $160, plus tax. He did, and I appreciate the honesty and willingness to help, even at his own expense.

My wife and I became home owners about 5 years ago and, of course, our water heater died shortly thereafter. I don't remember how I found Ben's Plumbing, but I'm glad that I did. They were helpful, got us a new water heater quickly, and patiently answered all my questions. (I know almost nothing about plumbing.) Another time they came to help with some basic drain cleaning, and gave me a bunch of tips on how to deal with some faucets myself. Just tonight I had a problem that had me shut off all water in the house. Ben diagnosed the problem over the phone, and has me flushing toilets again. Plumber's grease. It's magic. Almost as magic as Ben's Plumbing, who I will continue to call whenever water isn't doing what I want it to.

Ben's Plumbing is AWESOME! They are very responsive, very flexible, very communicative and great to work with! The team had great knowledge and provided suggestions over the phone to attempt to unclog a pipe. They were able to squeeze me into their schedule and it was great because they helped resolve an issue before it became a larger issue. Brian came out and helped provided some preventative support as well. Great, honest people and I recommend them 1000%!

I recently moved into a new townhome and was having terrible issues with hot water pressure. I had another plumber out who spent three hours (and over $500) trying to solve the problem, with no luck. In less than half the time, and for less than half the price, Ben was able to fix the issue. He was friendly, patient, and kind, and I would have him back for any future issues in a heartbeat! Thanks so much, Ben.

Ben's Plumbing has done several jobs at our house over the past 5 years.  Most recently Ben replaced piping connecting our sewer line and grinder pump.  Always excellent work and always on time.  Super friendly.  Highly recommend.

The plumbing at our rental house backed up and caused a flood.  We hired a local roto-rooter company to come out and clear the line - lots of money but at least they were fast.  Two weeks later, our tenants called - basement flooded again and they weren't happy. It was a Saturday and I was out of town. Based on these reviews, I called Ben's Plumbing.  Ben called me back within 15 mins.  He explained that the costs on the weekend were much higher - but he could stop by the house and see if he could make a temporary fix to hold until Monday.  And he did!  Then Monday his plumber snaked our line, put a camera down, and found the original roto-rooter guys only cleared the line to a point - creating a jam just beyond that point.  From start to finish, Ben kept me informed, the costs were very reasonable, and the work was professional.  Plus, he's a really nice guy.  Ben's the guy to call!

Ben's responded quickly to a small leak that had developed. They quoted us a rate to find the leak (which they promptly did with a minimum of opening ceiling/wall space). They then quoted us a rate to repair the leak, and then proceeded to do a fine job.  Highly recommend.

Prior to calling Ben, we had already tried a couple contractors on Thumbtack.  Ben came over the same day I called and arrived on time.  He found the issue and gave me options to fix it.  He even offered to teach me how to do the work myself to save me money!   Ben is an incredibly honest and knowledgeable professional.  I would not hesitate to recommend him and will definitely call him the next time I have a problem.

Ok, it's one year later and I searched my credit card statements to find this particular plumbing company again. Basement floor drain backing up into basement !!  I had already snaked my drain, poured baking soda/vinegar and boiling water down drain. No progress!  

It's a Sunday, left a message. Got a call back from Ben. If I could give him 10 stars I would. He had me describe the problem, run water, flush toilets and describe water movement.

He diagnosed that my P trap was probably plugged and what I needed to do to get my house drainage up and working again.   I will call back tomorrow to get an appointment to get my P trap cleared.

Ben is my favorite person in the world today. I highly recommend him

Ben was great - timely, thorough and very knowledgeable. He fixed our clogged toilet and offered advice for the future.

If my dad were a plumber, I would only have him work on my house. He's handy, but he isn't a plumber. Enter Ben. I trust Ben working on my house like I trust my dad working on my house. I found him through a lucky referral when I had called 3 other highly reviewed plumbers who weren't available. Our water heater was out, we had no heat, it was winter and I have two small kids. Ben got here, got parts, and got us heat and a warm shower. Fast forward two years and we were having a different issue. Ben came by to check it out and he decided he wasn't convinced we needed an expensive repair and suggested we wait- just like my dad would have suggested if he were a plumber. Ben is honest and just a really nice guy, I'm so glad we found him.

We needed someone to come out right away. They traveled to our house in practically Renton from Ballard to replace a pipe that was spraying water in the crawl space. They were professional, responsive, thorough and friendly.

As an owner of a 100+ year old house, I'm well acquainted with plumbers.  Ben Foster is the best. Great communication from his office, and he offered to come over the same day when I called because my description of the problem made it sound like an emergency (it wasn't). He showed up at the agreed upon time, and efficiently handled the faucet repair. He also let me know that the original sink stopper mechanism (my term, not his) was much higher value that the replacement I had purchased, recommended I retain it, and told me he would make the original work. Ben is friendly and professional and was a joy to work with.

I didn't use Ben for my tankless water heater repair because I was told I should use a brand specialist (Navien) for the job because of warranty etc, however I can tell he was more knowledgeable than the brand specialist.  I'd definitely recommend Ben and I will definitely use him next time.

We can not say enough good things about Ben's Plumbing! We recently bought a house that needed some serious plumbing work. It ended up being a pretty serious job that required excavation in the street. Ben recommended an amazing excavating company that actually ended up determining the work was actually the responsibility of the city saving us thousands of dollars! Ben continued to check in on us every step of the way even after we were in the capable hands of the excavation company. We may have more plumbing work in the future and we will definitely be using Ben!

Great service on a recent backflow test. Prompt, easy, affordable...what else could you ask for. Will use again when the next test rolls around. A true professional!

We've had Reuben from Ben's Plumbing come out twice in the last year to work on our seven-year-old hot water heater, and both experiences were outstanding. He was courteous, communicative, resourceful, and his attention to detail and quality were obvious.

Ben Foster is a life saver! Our house was without heat due to our tankless hot water heater shutting down. My wife at the time was in her third trimester. I called around and every company was booked out through the rest of the week. I called Ben and explained the situation. He shuffled his schedule and was at my home that afternoon!

Not only is he timely but he fixed my tankless hot water heater that same day! What a blessing. He took the time to explain the cost of service along with what happened.

I am telling everyone about him. Do not hesitate or mess around, just call Ben!

This is the third time I've called Ben's Plumbing, twice for our own house, and a few days ago for our rental house.   It is clear that Rueben knows what he is doing - how to solve the problem. Rueben is a very helpful guy, helped us troubleshoot an unusual problem in an vintage home.  From our three experiences with Rueben, each being a completely different problem, he has resolved each professionally, completely, quickly, and for a reasonable rate.  We intend to call on Ben's Plumbing for all our plumbing problems in the future.

We have had a lot of plumbing issues in our house (roots growing in the pipes, common here in Seattle) and have called many plumbers over the years- but Ben's is the first company I have bothered putting in my phone to call again. For our first call, they fit me in same day and Ben showed up and put my mind at ease right away. He did not do the work, but the two guys who did were friendly, very knowledgeable, and I knew they would be our go-to plumbers from then on.

Our second time calling was an emergency- my mother was coming to town that day and there was sewage in the guest shower. I was FREAKED OUT and they fit me in without making it a big deal. They actually showed up a full hour early (I told them I was home and they could come any time) and not only did they fix the problem, they cleaned up the mess in the shower. I cannot even say how much I appreciated that.

They are also the first place to recommend a specific preventative measure which we are doing next week- which will hopefully reduce the amount of times we have to call every year.

I really can't rave enough about this business! I'm telling everyone I know.

Instead of assessing the problem, like I asked, to get a general cost before proceeding they went ahead with the repairs without telling me. Not only that they worked on more than what I called them for and then expected payment on the spot with a total calculated on his phone (costed twice what it should have for a simple fix that somehow took two people to do). We told them we need an official invoice then we can issue payment. A couple days later the owner came into our office with the invoice demanding payment. After telling him the invoice will be processed, sent to AP, and a check will be sent out the next day he proceeded to try to muscle payment out of us by insulting me and treating me like an idiot. Shady and unprofessional. Strongly wouldn't recommend.

They were prompt, clean and fair! Great company and straightforward on the estimate and what to expect. Thank you so much Ben's Plumbing!

Needed a backflow test required by the city. Called for an appointment and spoke with Vera who was super friendly and Ben showed up the next day. He went the extra mile and fixed a couple little things he noticed in our utility closet. He will be our go-to plumber from this point forward, especially since he was a genuine guy and is familiar with radiant heating systems, which is hard to come by. Thanks so much, Ben!

We had a great experience with Ben's Plumbing. Ben detected a leak in our sump pump that I had previously had at least three different plumbers come by and not be able to diagnose. Now we have a great smelling basement! Also, did a very careful job installing our shower plumbing! Overall, fantastic work!

We had an underground leak from the meter to our apartment building.  Ben and Brian came out and quickly diagnosed the problem.  They told me exactly what would need to be done to fix this.  True lifesavers, and such nice people as well!  Brian came out and completed the work.  He did an amazing job.  I stopped by the apartment after they had dug up the ground, and I had never seen such a clean work site.  Brian had stacked up the dirt and concrete pieces on plastic so it would not bother my tenants or create a mess.  He kept me updated throughout, and even scheduled the city in to do the required inspection.  They are true professionals and I highly recommend this company.  I will definitely refer and use them in the future. You should not hesitate to call them.

I cannot say enough good things about Ben and his company. We were on a crazy timeline and needed quite a bit done in our kitchen before drywall could go in. Ben gave us a fair quote and fit us in to his already jampacked schedule. We actually got many compliments on how great the plumbing looked from other contractors. They did a fantastic job and were always available to address any questions we had about the process.  Ben gives great advice and made us feel like we had his undivided attention. You will absolutely love working with him and the team, no question!

Brian from Ben's Plumbing was amazing. We had a pretty bad clogged line (thanks coffee grinds!) and he came to the house armed with everything he needed, even a print out from the city of where all of our main lines were! He was courteous, knowledgable and fast. I thought we might need a sewer scope (expensive) and instead of tacking on the extra service he advised against it as he was confident the issue wasn't as bad as I thought. Sure enough, he was right and fixed the issue pretty quickly and what seemed to be easily. He even cleaned our tub after he was done! I will definitely be calling Ben's for all of our plumbing needs in the future.

We used Ben's for a basic job, unclogging a pipe, with the possibility it was broken and would need replacement.

Reuben and his apprentice came and got it done quickly and with a minimum of fuss.

Reuben gave me a lot of info about future options if we decided to get the pipe replaced at me point, and didn't try to upsell me for additional work we didn't yet need, which I appreciated.

Overall, a very good experience. We would use them again.

Fantastic humans and excellent technicians! Reasonably priced, timely, trustworthy, flexible and great communication to boot. Our first go around was so positive, we had them back two days later for another job. I'll be honest...I hate paying for home repairs. Hate. It. But, Ben and Reuben were both such stand-up gentlemen, it wasn't nearly as painful as I thought it would be. Top notch company. Don't hesitate, just call.

This is the 2nd time I've used Ben's Plumbing and am very happy with their work for replacing a cpvc line to outside spigot with a frost-free line and spigot.  Ben gave a reasonable estimate (middle of the three I got) and Reuben did the work - really nice guy, kept the area very clean, and did the work faster than expected and under estimate.  Would definitely call them again.

5 star service! Ben and his crew are absolutely reliable and professional. One of my favorite vendors. Had a clogged kitchen sink one early morning- came out less than an hour later and he was in/out, tidy and solved the issue.  Highly recommend.

Ben came to check out several smallish things I needed done. It turned out that what I thought I needed done was not a problem and didn't need done so I appreciated his honesty very much since he didn't go ahead and try to make money by doing unnecessary repairs. However he did notice some other things that could have become problematic which were not expensive to fix so I appreciated his advice about them. His two staff plumbers came out individually a few times as the parts were not available for it all to be done at the same time and I told him they didn't need to all be done together. His staff were very courteous and pleasant to deal with. They cleaned up carefully afterwards which was great as we have had some work done by other workmen recently where the cleanup was not well done. They explained very clearly what they were doing and had great customer service attitude. I can wholeheartedly recommend this company if you need any plumbing done.
