I don't usually trust very many contractors. Everybody's out to make a buck and upsell you on everything. I'm one who likes to save money.  I emailed them the night before, they called me in the morning. And showed up within an hour after they called me. I did not feel like they were there to swindle me or sell me on a bunch of stuff I didn't need,  I felt like they were there because they cared and they wanted to help me solve any issues I thought I might be having, they explained everything to me so that I completely understood what was going on with the issues I was having. They gave me all the options and did not pressure me into making a decision. I have to say I was blown away on how much they explained to me and how transparent they were on everything, I'm definitely going to recommend this business to my anyone who needs plumbing work. Small company, world class business skills.

I was looking for a quote about replacing  my water heater. I called Price Busters Plumbing, they answered the phone promptly. When I asked for a quote, they said they need send a technician to my home to estimate. I almost agreed to an appointment for the on-site assessment, then I asked whether this assessment is free if I wouldn't proceed with them. They told me that it won't be free and cost $50 if I don't use their service. Bottom line is they don't give you a quote over the phone, so you have to be either go with their bidding price or getting hit by a $50 estimation fee.

Be aware. Always confirm if the on-site assessment is free before agreeing to an appointment, so you don't get a surprise.

Update on April 5, 2023: I received a call from Price Busters Plumbing (PBP) shortly after I posted the above review on 3/31/2023. They wanted to offer a free onsite quote on April 3 and I agreed. William came on that day and did a thorough look-around, sent me via email an estimate with detailed proposal and reasonable price. It was a pleasant experience even though I later decided to go with Home Depot. I appreciate that they are willing to make things right for customers. Hence adjusting the rating upward to 4 star.

This company is just A+ at everything.  It just great plumbing work - that would be expected - but they are super responsive, super communicative, super fast (like on site next day), and super courteous.

Two proof points:
1. Plumbing is something most people never see because it's obviously behind walls, underground, etc., so it would be easy to do a half-assed job and who would know? Unless something doesn't work, there's a lot of wiggle room between a so-so job and A+. So when they tell me the job is going to take a couple hours longer because while they did the work, it wasn't as perfect as they wanted it to be so they're going to re-do it, that shows real integrity.
2. They left a small part of the job site trudged up from their crane. I sent pics and a text and next day they came out and filled the soil, laid topsoil, and seeded it. Talk about making good with no objections.

This is what doing good business is all about.

Zach and his team were fantastic. They were able to get out to solve my sewer problems the morning after I called them. Wyatt ad Rudy the technicians were super friendly, clean, and professional, left the site as they found it (it was a messy job for sure) I would highly recommend PriceBusters plumbing service.

I hired them because the price is cheaper. The guy did the work was late over 4 hours, which I waited
in my car for over 4 hours - I don't live there and it's a hour drive distance for me. They didn't tell me in
advance that the guy will be late, until I call them after waited in my car for half a hour, they said the guy is on
the way, and after I waited another hour, I called them, they told me the guy is on the road to my place, but
took another more than 2 hours for the guy to come. When the guy came, he didn't apologize but complain too
late for him. And I gave him $20 dollars tip, he still not finish the work and went home. Though he promised
to come back the next day he never comes back to finish the work. I call their office, the guy said that the price
was quoted low and asked me to pay more and threatened me to bring the old water heater back to my house. I
would definitely not recommend to hire this company.

FANTASTIC experience after (almost) being taken advantage of by a local competitor. Their quote was 3x less than than the 1st company.
Prompt and polite. I had a problem with my sewer line. PBP took it upon themselves to call the City and research what the City might be responsible for, if anything. Zach and crew - Kuddos, and thank you!

Sam gave me confidence that he knew exactly what he was doing. This is important to me. He and his partner were very polite, cleaned up and call when they were on their way. They cleared the clogged drain but found a break in the sewer line of my 1942 house. Ah...what we pay for charm. Alex was very easy to work with.

An inspection of our lateral sewer pipes found significant gaps between the pipes in several places, with plant and tree roots getting in and clogging it up.  Also, the ~60 year old concrete 'Y' that connected our lateral pipe to our neighbor's lateral line was cracked and needed to be replaced.

Recommendation from several sources was to have the pipes lined.  Our neighbors had recently had their lateral line repaired, and spoke very highly of Price Busters.  Price Busters gave us a significantly better quote than the estimates we got from other plumbers; and they were obviously very experienced with sewer pipe lining when they gave us the estimate.

The work was very well done, including the excavation and the clean-up work afterwards (they left the place in our yard where they had to dig looking great -- you couldn't tell anything had been excavated if you hadn't seen the work done.)  

Price Busters has specialists for each job; Beau and Mike did the excavation, fill-in and clean-up; James, Jeff and 2 others did the actual lining job (in 2 phases).  All the Price Busters plumbers we met were very polite and informative, and were very good about keeping socially distant and wearing masks due to the pandemic.  There were a couple of minor communication issues, but with that many guys working on the project, things like that are bound to happen.

We're very satisfied with the work Price Busters did, and the price; and we would definitely recommend them, particularly for this kind of work.

Included is a picture of the finished work, before they filled in the excavation hole -- new 'Y' connection, and a new sewer clean out (the pipe going up to the surface.)

Our basement shower (which we rarely use) was somehow backing up and we feared the worst. Price Busters originally scheduled us for 2 days later but had a cancellation so fit us in. Zack came out, with one of his apprentices, and after some testing found that there was a block in the plumbing somewhere inside the house that was
Causing the sink in that bathroom to flow into the shower drain. He explained everything really well, and fixed it. Better yet- he was patient with my kids who were super interested in what he was doing. Will definitely use them in the future for plumbing needs!

Appreciated that they wore masks and were very professional.

These guys are superb! We had issues with roots growing in our house sewer line connecting to the main. We called these folks and they fixed up our sewer line with hydrojetting and and using permaliner to make that pipe brand new at least for the next 15-20 years(hopefully 50 *crossing fingers*) in 2 days and they provided comprehensive updates on the initial problem, and progress of their work.

Highly recommend! Beau and his team are awesome and honest.

His office manager Alex was very responsive and easy to work with as well.

We had Price Busters come out to help with our tub/shower drain after a remodel.  They scheduled someone very quickly to come perform an initial inspection.

Zach from Price Busters was professional, kind, and SUPER helpful.  He offered a pragmatic solution to our issue that was one tenth the cost of what competitors were suggesting.

They will be our first call for any plumbing needs in the future!

I have a broken waste water pipe in my house and Price Busters Plumbing came to my house immediately after my call. Their services were very prompt and professional. Zach Cuse were very kind and knowledgeable and kept me informed of the whole repair process. He also helped me to move my fridge and plugged it back in even I forgot. Gil snaked my slow drained tub which was not related to the job. I appreciate the clean up everyday after the job was done. I will recommend this company to anyone looking for plumbing service.

We've worked with Price Busters twice now. They offered the most competitive quote to replace our main water line a couple years ago and managed to avoid the roots of our gigantic tree in the front yard. They almost recently helped us replace some remaining galvanized pipes in our bathroom sink after we noticed a small leak and added a Y attachment in our crawl space in case we ever need more plumbing down the road :) Prompt and respectful communication, easy scheduling, very bright and kind individuals who we've met who work at Price Busters. Highly recommend and can't thank them enough :)

I recently lost my husband and dealing with a sewer backup has to be one of the most stressful situations especially when you're dealing with it yourself. Thank goodness Price Buster's Plumbing was called and Zack and Seth came that same day. Zack was wonderful and he relieved my stress. He was very reassuring and with a lot of effort cleared the clog but he said it would probably happen again. I cannot say enough good things about Zack. He has wonderful customer service...he calls when he's on the way and let's me know what's happening and what to expect. He lets me know when he leaves too. They had to install an exterior cleanout access point outside which was 9 ft down and took 2 days to get to! They worked very hard. At that point they had another crew Jeff and Seth who installed a liner. It wasn't easy and took them all day. They stuck with it and Jeff was another great employee! Their prices are reasonable and they do what they say and I'm very thankful for the wonderful service...especially the reassuring work that Zack Kuse provided. I'm telling everyone I know about this company and their great employees. They all seem young but so diligent and skilled. Total professionalism!!

Had a clogged sewer, and they came out the next day to jet it to clear the clog. I decided to get the entire side sewer lined to prevent future blockages, and they were out the very next day (a day earlier than promised) to do the work.

There was also a leaking hose bib that they fixed the same day they completed the work on the sewer line.

Great communication and speedy response. Would definitely recommend.

We had an unexpected leak, and in the time of Covid and contractors taking forever to be available, Price Busters came and gave us a bid in 1 day and were done with the project in 3. They worked all day to get the job done and done well. Thank you!

From the detailed bid until the work was completed, it was a stress-free pleasure to work with Price Busters.  John and Wyatt were able to replace a 60-foot, 60-year-old main water line and interior shutoff valve by digging only at the beginning and end of the line without any disturbance of plantings or rocks in the yard or interior walls.  And it wasn't easy digging four feet down and 1-1/2 feet underneath the concrete porch slab.  Along with Gabe, Jeff and Don, they made it easy for me to lead a normal life for those three days, and Alex kept me posted on when everything was going to happen, which was much appreciated.

We had a great experience with Price Busters Plumbing 3 years ago when they installed a new lining for our main sewer line from our house to the street - quality work, by far the most reasonable bid of three. So we called them when our kitchen sink refused to drain this week - it has been slow for months. Wayne and Wyatt worked well together, attempting to clean it out from below the sink. When that failed because gunk was way, way further down the drain, they came back the next day and cleaned it out. it was very difficult and they took great pains not to make a mess on the carpet. It was expensive, but you could see that they did not overcharge for the amount of work it took to clear such a big blockage so far from the sink. The company went them out right away and they were on time. They made suggestions to avoid blockages in future, and you could see they were trying not to over-charge us.

I would like to share my experience with this excellent company.  Pricebusters is the best!  All the employees in the field are marvelous people, and skilled in their work.  They are definitely whom you should call if you have any plumbing or sewer issue.  I learned this a little bit too late, but I took a right turn, and hired Pricebusters to complete my sewer job.  These guys are great!  All of them. I cannot say enough good things about this company.  I highly, HIGHLY recommend then for sewer and plumbing issues. They went the extra mile in the work they did for me.  To prevent further issues, I followed their recommendation to put a liner in the the sewer line to prevent further blockages.  Alex and Beau were great on phone calls, and Beau went the extra mile to come to my house to explain the project and the reasons for doing it.  I would like to share the names of the excellent workers , but I am not sure of all of them.  Maybe Pricebusters can add them to my comments.  Works site cleaned up, deck washed off. Could not ask for more.   Thank you, thank you and thank you again.

The short: Quick, reliable, well priced and friendly.
The Long: I had a leaking sewer line outside the house as the pipe is old concrete which needed to be replaced. The options were to either dig it all out, encapsulate or do a pipe burst. Price busters recommended an encapsulation (Perma liner) which is a neat technology which cures epoxy in place within the existing pipe. The method is less impact-full to the garden and cheaper as they dont need to dig the entire trench. Price busters came out to provide a quote and performed a very through inspection, both with a camera and marking out where each bend was in the pipe. Beau and Mike were both very friendly and explained everything to detail how it was going to be fixed and gave me a price on the spot. Alex back in the office was also great working with, coordinating schedules and payments.
The job itself was executed flawlessly, they didnt make too much mess and cleaned up after themselves (Note they didnt try and fix everything back to how it was, I know some companies may do this, but Price Busters focuses on their job which is plumbing not landscaping and thus they are good at it). There was one minor modification I requested with the clean out pipe location as it was not in a convenient location which they quickly made the changes.
Overall I would highly recommend. Thank you team.

I got 3 bids to replace our 80 year old side-sewer and Price Busters offered not only the best price but also the best solution and strategy for the repair.  John and his crew worked really hard and minimized its impact on our yard during the repair. I highly recommend John and Price Busters Plumbing.

The dispatcher ladies are extremely professional and very courteous.  And mostly they run a performing schedule.  Got a full bio of the lead plumber coming to perform the job.  They arrived on time and were very professional friendly.  Came the next day to perform the task.  Clean afterwards.   Job well done and happy customer.  Price wise it is in the middle range of the competition, but it is done on time and perfectly.  
Thank you to Sam and Alex.

Great service! Fast, friendly, professional, comprehensive, and fairly inexpensive. Dan came out to clear a clog on the same day that we called. He did a quick inspection, pinpointed the problem area, and cleared it in record time. Admittedly not a big job, but well done.

They were running a bit late due to earlier service calls, but I give the company props for calling to update us on the later arrival time. Some jobs take longer than expected, that's understandable, by keeping us informed of the slight delay, we didn't have to worry.

Would definitely use this company again. Great job.

I had an issue coming from sump pump from the basement. Pump quit working and looking for some one to fix it. When call around the quote me outrages amounts. To come out and fix it. Well one guy gave me a number for Price Busters Plumbing. Beau answers the phone. Zach and his A team came and fix the pump.
Charged me very reasonable price and the service was excellent. The interaction with the customer by Zach was very well recognized. He gave the honest diagnostics of the issue and fix it.
Thank you Zach and A Team.

I had such a great experience with Price Busters Plumbing! Zack and Beau came out really fast, professional and diagnosed the problem very quickly.
I was stressing about the sewage leak from my building. It was all over the street, thinking it was going to be a very expensive repair...
Once they diagnosed the problem, Zack and Beau reassured me that it was going to be a small repair and no concrete would have to be removed. (Thank god) It was just a clogged pipe due to root build up. It would need to be blasted and some piping replaced.
Thank you so much, you guy's do excellent work for a great price! Highly recommend!!

And he was super respectful of the our stuff in the garage, which we really appreciate. Alex was helping me with scheduling and billing, he made the process super smooth as well. Thank you guys!

I've never experienced such unprofessional communication. I had two of their staff come out to provide a quote. The technician came on a Wednesday, and told me I should have the quote no later than Friday. Ya right. I called the office every week for 4 weeks, because week after week I received nothing. Every time I called, I was told they would contact the technician. Every week, there was a new excuse. It has now been two months, and I completely gave up. Still haven't heard a peep. Not even a courtesy call. If this is the way they communicate (or lack thereof) just in providing quotes, I would absolutely not trust them to do a plumbing job in my home.

The name Price Busters got my attention...hmm, maybe with a name like that they will come out and give me reasonable estimate. Don't be fooled like I was, these guys should change their name to Budget Busters. I got 3 bids and Price Busters were the highest. $2900 for a job that ended up taking 3 hours and $400 in parts to accomplish...so they wanted over $800 an hour for labor..wheew. Plumbers are Pirates these days! I also asked them to diagnose my leaking kitchen sink and they wanted $500 to replace two angle stops. The plumber I gave the job to said the angle stops were fine it was a $25 supply line that was leaking and he repaired it in less than 30 minutes. So glad I got more estimates, ended up saving $1000's. I gave 3 stars, not, 1 because I do have to be fair and say that they were knowledgeable, personable, and on time. My only complaint is price.

The poly waterline between the street meter and the house shutoff valve broke and developed a severe leak.  Beau, the owner, came out the next day and the company provided a written quote within 2 hours and started work the next business day.  The price was very good comparatively.  Beau and Alex, the office manager, were very responsive to questions.  The workers, Don and Fritz, who came out to work on the repair were very professional.  Their attention to detail on the repair was great and the clean up work afterward was thorough.  It was money well spent.   I highly recommend the company.

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.

Highly recommend Price Busters Plumbing. I have used their services for sewer repair and replacement of a water heater. Always punctual, willing to explain all options and best price compared to competition. Most importantly, Alex and his crew guarantee their work even when it's finished. We are in the process of selling our house. Alex had fixed a sewer issue for us in spring of 2019. Fast forward a year and during an inspection, an issue with the connection to the city main was identified. Alex sent out a crew to verify that it was indeed responsibility of the city which was confirmed. His help in this process has made us a customer for life.

I almost never write reviews, but have been quite happy with the services provided by Price Buster's Plumbing. I had a major sewer issue with a 1940s home, with rain water and sewage was backing up into the basement shower. I started calling any number I could find on Google. I actually received their number for another company that couldn't come soon enough, but referred me to Price Buster's.

Bo and company were able to come out within 12 hours to investigate and give me an estimate. They immediately cleared the initial blockage, allowing for the tenants to return from a hotel. Unfortunately, upon further investigation, there was an significant blockage that required excavation to investigate. His team was on site the very next day, a Saturday mind you, to start digging a 9' hole. After fixing this initial issue and installing a protective liner, it was determined that there was yet another break existed. This happened yet a third time as they worked their way through our 70+ year old concrete sewer.

Bo and his team worked very hard on my project, kept the tenants up to speed on the current status and schedule, and I never felt like we being taken advantage of. Working with his team to replace joints and line the entire line, with their 50 year warranty, has given significant piece of mind to me as the home owner. In addition, his technology and methods saved us easily $10k-$15k over traditional and antiquated sewer replacement methods.

I hope to never have another need for his company, but if I ever do, his will be the only company I call. Thanks again for the speedy and thorough service!

An Amazing Team here. I had a plumbing emergency and called a few places but ultimately went with Price Busters. Here is why, I had another company out to look at the job and they were freaked out and freaking me out, telling me I need to act now and pay them thousands of dollars and I had no idea what they were talking about. I had the team from PB out the next morning, and Johnny who showed up was Amazing. I showed him all the problems and he went into action. He found the issues and showed me the footage from scoping my system. He was very calm and professional and had an answer to all my questions. I needed to replace some of my main line and add some clean out sections outside. Johnny also went looking around and made some other suggestions to help make my plumbing better. I know nothing about plumbing and Johnny was there to show me everything and talk through everything, calmly and professionally. I was sold due to the professionalism and knowledge this team gave me. I was told the whole process and was then put into contact with Alex the manager. He quickly sent me an itemized list of everything and took care of permits and again, made me feel at ease. When the team showed up, Johnny and Zack (who I can't thank enough for the quick and excellent work) told me the plan and went right to work. The job did not look easy and they had me up and running. This team is A++. Johnny and Zack always had a smile and were always there to keep me informed and talk through the process. The price was great, and the quality was outstanding. I have found my forever plumbing company. If you're looking for quality work, good prices, constant communication, and amazing people then Price Busters Plumbing is your only choice.

Thank you Zac for coming out to take care of our plumbing emergency when no one else returned our calls for service. He called to update us with a timeline of when he would swing by. Zac not only fixed the issue but also helped us understand the problem and to look out for future costly issues. We really appreciate his knowledge and warm approach to taking care of his clients.

I highly recommend them. They are quick and affordable and are always going above and beyond.

They always are quick to respond and always show up same day. I wouldn't trust anyone else.

By far the best in the town to work on a large project.  After our first big rain of the season, the basement in our Lake Forest Park house flooded due to poorly functioning drains.  As this was the second flood in two years, we knew we needed to do something.  Beau's plan was the most reasonable and best priced.  His crew finished the job in two days, were professional, polite, skilled, had the needed equipment, and made information based decisions.  Sometimes we go outside just to marvel at our new drains.  Would definitely recommend.

In total I had 5 appointments with Price Busters to replace a disposal and to replace a tank-to-bowl gasket on a toilet. I'm not sure how these guys are still open with their terrible attitude towards customer service. I have no doubt they're great when things go well, but they do not hold themselves responsible for their mistakes (and in fact hold me responsible). That is unacceptable.

TL/DR:
- Price Busters did not know what work was supposed to be done, on multiple occasions
- For the disposal job that was completed, Price Busters did the job improperly
- Price Busters has not respected my very valuable time by neglecting to call me back when they were unable to return later in the day, resulting in my needlessly staying home from work.
- Price Busters has shown bad faith by refusing to answer my calls and refusing to provide information about the part.
- In addition, Price Busters seems to believe it is justified in its bad faith because of the considerable resources it has spent in attempting this toilet job, despite the fact that the wasted resources could have been entirely avoided if Price Busters had kept the plumbers informed about what jobs needed to be done, or if the plumbers had collected information about the model of the toilet or inspected the old part.

Appointment 1: Initially, I had Price Busters plumbers come to my place to take a look at the two jobs I needed done, a leaky toilet and a leaky garbage disposal. The plumbers determined that my toilet tank-to-bowl gasket needed to be replaced, and that my disposal also needed to be replaced. After comparing the Price Busters quote to quotes from other plumbers, I noted that the disposal work was more expensive than other plumbers, but the toilet work was more reasonable. As a result, the total cost for the two jobs was very competitive with other plumbers, and I saw that Price Busters had excellent reviews on Yelp. I decided to go with Price Busters because I expected good service and because of the low total cost.

Appointment 2: I booked an appointment to do the toilet and garbage disposal in one visit. At the appointment, the plumber came prepared to replace the garbage disposal but did not know that the toilet also needed to be fixed. He fixed the disposal and inspected the toilet, confirming that the tank-to-bowl gasket needed to be replaced. I was then charged for the disposal work portion of the job, and booked another appointment to fix the toilet. After the disposal work was done and the plumber had left, I noticed that my dishwasher had stopped draining as a result of the disposal job, and I called Price Busters to inform them of the fact.

Appointment 3: The day before the appointment to fix the toilet and to re-fix the disposal, I received a call from Price Busters and was told that the appointment had to be canceled since nobody was available to do the job. We rescheduled the appointment for the next week. When the plumbers arrived for this appointment, they were also unaware that the toilet needed to be fixed as well. They fixed the disposal to re-enable the dishwasher to drain, and inspected the toilet, confirming again that the tank-to-bowl gasket was damaged and needed to be replaced. I booked another appointment to fix the toilet.

Appointment 4: At this appointment, the plumbers arrived and told me that they were here to take a look at the toilet to see what had to be done. I was confused, since 3 separate plumbers from Price Busters had already determined that the issue was with the tank-to-bowl gasket. They again confirmed that this was the issue, and told me that they would obtain the part from a plumbers' supply shop and come back later in the day, and would call me if they were unable to obtain the part. As a result, I elected not to go to work that day. I did not receive a call, nor did the plumbers return.

Appointment 5: Days later, I called Price Busters since I did not receive a call back after the previous appointment. I was then able to schedule an appointment on the day of. Before the appointment, the plumbers called me and asked me for the model number of the toilet so that they could purchase the correct part. The plumbers then arrived with the replacement gasket and installed it, but the toilet still leaked, as they had brought the wrong part. The plumbers then took the old tank to bowl gasket, and said they would try to obtain the part and come back later in the day, promising again to call me back when they determined if they could come back that day. Again, I elected not to go to work because of this and I did not receive a call back.

At this point, I told them I no longer wanted them to do the work, and asked if they could give me the part number of the correct part number so I can order it myself. They told me they did not want to do that, presumably out of spite. I ended up ordering the part from the Kohler website for $6 and doing the job myself in 10 minutes.

We called Price Busters Plumbing this morning and was luckily scheduled for same day service seeing that our home was only minutes away from their business. If you have the pleasure of working with Zach, you'll be blown away with amazing customer service and high quality work. Zach gave us a courtesy call before arrival and entered our home with masks and booties. He took a look at our issue (kitchen sink not draining) and immediately explained the underlying problem, gave us a fair quote and began work. After the work was done, the work area was thoroughly cleaned. He also stayed to ensure there were no leaks, the sink drained properly, and offered easy advice on how to keep our drains in good condition. Overall, very satisfied and would highly recommend! Give them a call today.

$340 to run the snake in one bathroom.   It was super fast, professional and up front.   Seems a bit on the expensive side for 20 minutes of work.   Took a shower after they left and the shower still is draining super slow so it doesn't seem to have worked.   Tried to call and the mailbox was full.

We have used Price Busters for years & they always deliver! Johnny has always helped us out! When we moved out of our old house we had some major plumbing issues that needed to be fixed in order to sell. It was a daunting task to us, but their guys handled it perfectly. New bath tub faucet, pipes in basement, new toilet, all flawless. When it came time to move into our new home, there was a lot of fixing up to do as well. They scoped our underground gutter downspout drains, scoped our sewer drains, replaced a toilet, & replaced a mud room utility sink. I was a little particular about the placement of the utility sink as we were getting a new (larger) washing machine & after the guys had left I realized I forgot to mention that to them! I called back & Alex in their office was super nice & said it was no problem at all. They came back out within a day or two to extend the utility sink drain pipe so it would fit in the spot, making room for the new washing machine!

Professional, quick turn around, no-nonsense, and RELIABLE! Beau was super helpful in walking me through benefits and cons of moving to a tankless water heater when mine went dead just two days before an international travel trip (had house sitter and needed to get 'er done!). The crew showed on time, checked in a couple times that day, cleaned up after, price was competitive, and house now had unlimited hot water.

We were referred to Price Busters by another company Crawl Space Cleaning Pros. They were very great on the phone, scheduled the appointment quickly and were out two days later to fix a few things that came up on our home inspection.

Nathan showed up promptly and also called on the way to let me know he was coming. He also is so polite and courteous in working and getting the job done.

We had a kitchen drain leak and needed our water heater strapping brought up to code. He took care of both even though he was not feeling well. He also had to leave twice to get a stronger drill for concrete as well as better screws. Through it all, he had a great attitude and was apologetic it was taking so long. This guy is going to go far just based on his work ethic and attitude.

I can't comment on the cost as I've been lucky to not have many plumbing problems but I felt it was reasonable and we'd pay it again for the service and promptness Price Busters provided!

I have used, (or have tried to use) many plumbers over the years. For this job, I got three other bids. The plumbers I got the bids from were the highest rated I could find on this site. Price Busters was the fourth and last to come over to bid and I am very glad I called them!! None of the others could compare to Zach and his team at Price Busters!  They came over on the same day that I called and had the best price by far! They were less than a third the price of the highest bid! They also completed one job on the spot ( replace in-ground sewage pump ) and did the second job of adding hot and cold water spigot on my deck first thing the next day. They used high-quality parts and worked quickly and then cleaned up all the mess like they were never there! Highly highly recommended!!

We recently had a sewer blockage over the weekend during the COVID shutdown. Price Busters responded immediately, arriving within an hour of my calling, and had the problem fixed within another hour. The work was top notch and professional, and reasonably priced. Our home is older with relatively fragile clay sewer pipes and they unclogged it without damaging the pipes, and verified with video monitoring. For this type of professionalism and service, Price Busters gets my highest recommendation. Big shout out to Beau and Zac!

Goes the extra mile for his customers. Did a handful of small extras for me that other companies would charge $1000's for. Hard working and motivated to get the job done right. I ordered the wrong part and the owner himself came on a Sunday with the right part so I could have a shower.

I bought a new house and needed some plumbing work.  Price Busters Plumbing was referred to me by someone who had used them, and they had good reviews on NextDoor and Yelp.

The first call was to remove a laundry tub which had been installed in the main line and directly under the electrical panel in the garage.  That went fine.  But 2 days later, the water out-put in the house dropped in the kitchen and bathroom, so I called to have them come back to see what happened.

Apparently after disturbing the galvanized pipes in the garage, a lot of debris was loosened up and flowed down the pipes.  In the process of diagnosing this, it became apparent that the kitchen faucet (which was previously working fine) was not going to go back together and continue to work fine - the disadvantage of disturbing old plumbing.  

So I decided to have them replace the faucet with new, and as long as they had to come back out the next day, I asked if they could replace my toilet - the existing one worked fine, but I wanted an ADA/comfort height/17 toilet (there was no other reason to replace the toilet.)

Next day, they came back (much later than scheduled) and replaced the kitchen faucet, and toilet.  But when I went to look at the toilet, it was NOT ADA/comfort height/17 - it was the same height as the one removed.  So I told them that is NOT what I asked for.  

The on-sight technician (who knew it was their error because he had taken the order the previous day) called the boss and was told that an ADA/comfort height/17 toilet was $150 more than what I had agreed to pay.  The boss also apologized, saying it was entirely HIS fault that the mistake was made. BUT !!! he still wanted $150 dollars more to correct HIS mistake !!!  I said NO, and they could either install the toilet I contracted for at the contracted price, or they could put my original toilet right back where it came from.  There was more back and forth on the phone, but eventually the boss agreed.  Next day I got another new toilet.

Then, silly me, because Price Busters had been used by my contractor (doing other work in the house) I called them back to give me a quote for some additional more comprehensive plumbing work I needed (install a laundry and sink, re-route some water and gas lines, replace galvanized pipes, etc.)  The owner Zach came out and we went through my list.  He looked at everything, then said he would email me a quote within 48 hours.  

A week later I had not heard back, so I sent an email.  Nothing in reply.  I talked to my contractor who had recommended him, and he said he also had been snubbed by Zach after he had come out to make a bid on a job for him.

In summary I DO NOT recommend this company.  Zach was obviously never taught common courtesy or business customer service - if he did not want to do the work, then he should have the balls to just say no thank you directly to me (and my contractor.)  And trying to stick ME for and additional $150 for his mistake in sending out the wrong toilet !!!

I am a returning customer . The first time was for my house to convert the septic system to sure system. It was a very very excellent and very net job this guys done for me . Especially the price unthinkable to compare with other companies out there . I called five different companies to compare the price . It was unbelievable different than those others  . Here is what I say if you don't SHOPE around for your project , the price it  will be a rippe of with out a doubt.
No wonder why the come up the name PRICE BUSTER  they really really price buster . They did amazing job with a reasonable price and with a short period of time .
Also in my second project was my house main water line was broke and leak . They did the same thing with reasonable price and short time they replace my water line with a new water line . Amazing job and very very reasonable price.
Great work and great price .

We've had Price Busters come out to quote work twice. Both times they were reasonably priced and very professional. The first time we didn't have them do the work because they were booked out a week and it was a bit of an emergency. This time they came out, did the quote and the work the same day. They were fast, clean, and professional. I highly recommend them. Thanks Nate!

Price Busters Plumbing did an excellent job replacing the main water line, adding a water shut-off valve, repiping water in, and repiping the drainage in our 1940s home. They were professional, punctual, and provided high-quality service at a very reasonable price, especially compared to several of the quotes we received from other companies. There was a small scheduling hiccup due to circumstances outside of their control, but Price Busters handled it professionally and had excellent communication.   All staff members on site were respectful and courteous over the course of their 3-days with us, and they did their best to ensure our house was in the best condition possible when they left. I would highly recommend Price Busters to anyone looking for quality service and peace of mind that their plumbing work has been completed to the highest possible standard.

The team at Price Busters were amazing. We have a one bathroom home and had a major backup. We had another company come out on a Saturday to fix it. They took forever and were very shifty about the cost. On Tuesday the problem came back! I yelped many companies and chose Price Busters by their ratings but was still wary due to already spending hundreds of dollars already. The team was was very professional and helped me understand everything they were doing! They were able to fix the problem (not just a quick fix) and gave me info for the future to help keep the issue from happening. I am so thankful for their understanding on timing and their prices were fair and straight forward!

We just had a horrible plumbing problem, and they were the 3rd plumbers we had work on our house after Danika and Roto-Rooter did some work and charged OBSCENE amounts. Price Busters was by far the best of the 3, and they were able to finish the job quickly and for a reasonable price.  They cleaned up too, and they will be our first call next time we need help.

Zach and trainee Matthew we able to squeeze me in urgently for a clogged kitchen sink. They were professional and  courteous. Booties and floor covering on the house while working.  They explained the plan and process for what they thought might  be wrong. Gave suggestions on how to avoid same issues in the future. They were  recommended to me by another plumber that wasn't available at the time.  That speak volumes. Would use again and highly recommend.

You really can not ask for more. Last year I had a break in a old water main to an outbuilding and needed urgent repair and everyone was busy. Price busters shuffled things around and were able to show up the next day and take care of the problem in just a few hours. This year the same main had a small leak, again in less than 17 hours Price Busters came out and made the problem go away. You really can't ask for more, the price was fair, the fix solid, and the service professional. I'll be replacing this water main eventually and I'll be coming to Price Busters when I do.

After discovering that our water heater was leaking for quite some time and we had not seen it since it is behind a wall the water damage was irreversible.  We needed someone fast and didn't have a whole lot of time to wait.  Price busters was the only place that answered the phone right away.  They were also the only place that didn't have to schedule me 4 days out.  

The owner showed up shortly, assessed the situation and gave us a quote.  While we may have been able to shop around for a water heater had we had more time we may have been able to save a few hundred dollars, but then we would have had to pay to haul the old water heater away.  I felt that the prices were fair and seeing as how they saved us from further damage I am thankful for their expertise.  They also took the old water heater away for us which was helpful.  

They were professional and friendly.  We will definitely be calling them them if we ever have another problem or need work done.

Called for an estimate to fix / replace my wobbly old toilet..,Got an instant call back from Beau...and they were able to accommodate and came by on Sunday to do the work; very professional and prompt, excellent work ../ the new toilet looks great, but I have to wait until tomorrow in order for it to set before I can give the final review...in addition they gave me the lowest price..,I would recommend this company...will post in few days the final review...but so far professional and great customer service. A few days later and the new installation is in good working order;)

I asked them to provide a bid for a leak between my main water meter and my home shut off valve.   They came out and looked at it, and told me that either I needed the entire pipe dug up because it probably had multiple leaks, or that I'd need to hire a company to isolate the leak because maybe it was only leaking in one spot.    They told me they would give me a bid to dig up the whole line and replace it, and another bid to isolate the leak and fix it.   I got the bid for the whole pipe (over $3,500), but not the bid for just fixing the leak; when I asked for it, crickets.   Hired a different company, cost $1,000 all in.   My conclusion is that they tried to sell me something I did not need.

I asked Price Busters to install a water line for my new range (which has a steam function). They assessed my kitchen, looked at the information for the range, and installed the water line. Great customer service, professional work, and they clearly know what they're doing because they're busy working all over the area. Highly recommend this business!

I was hopeful these guys would provide a quality service. They returned my initial call right away and were really personable. We set up an appointment for a few days later.

I had a busy week and had to prep a couple things before they arrived, so I actually took a day off work. They never showed up or even called. After their estimated window passed I called and they were, again, very personable and apologetic. It seemed like they'd straighten out their calendar and everything would be fine. I hoped so after taking time off work.

The next week we had a new appointment. Same thing... no show, no call. I even called them twice to get a closer estimate of their arrival time and both times was promised a call back... nothing.

Eventually, I got ready to leave my house and run some errands (about 30 min after their original window to arrive had passed). As I walked out to my car, they arrived.

So I went back inside, showed the guys what was going on, and they went to work. Again... guys were really nice. But again, they just didn't satisfy. The guy that came said he didn't specialize in the type of work I requested (scoping a drain underneath a concrete floor and diagnosing a cause for back up). The only diagnosis I got was after I suggested that maybe the pipe had a belly in it, and then the plumber rolled with my idea. I wondered if PriceBusters just found their only available plumber and sent him to me since they'd basically stranded me twice already. The next day I got a $200 bill (and $2100+ estimate to fix the problem).

I actually replied to the emailed invoice requesting a revised amount, and they knocked off $39 and said they hope to work with you if you have any future plumbing needs. I then replied, saying that it would take more than the $39 discount to think about working with them again (and outlined what I would've expected). $150 for a plumber to come here and say that my suspicion might be accurate and offer no additional certainty? Needless to say, the owners disagreed and felt their charge was fair. I paid, but will look elsewhere for the future plumbing needs I have. I recommend you do the same.

It is never exciting to need a plumber but after having two other companies come to my house and tell me that my 3 year old water heater could not be repaired and would cost me $2,300.00 to replace i was eager to find a reliable plumber that I can trust. My neighbor referred me to price busters. They were able to come to my house the same day I called and my water heater is now as good as new for literally a fraction of what the the other guys wanted. A fraction! The plumber also provided me with a full home inspection and made a few recommendations of things I may want want to address with no high pressure tactics to get more money from me. My impression of them was a great old fashioned, honest, and very reasonably priced company. I will absolutely be calling them next I need a plumber. Thank you price busters!

Wow- how do you think Price Busters when they saved me $7,000 I nearly spent for an unnecessary repair and days of massive construction at my house? I had FIVE other plumbing outfits out to my house due to water running down the side of our driveway. All gave me bids for a broken water main pipe with repair costs from $7400 to $5000 and days to weeks of work with additional foundation holes, etc. What a headache. A neighbor said to wait for Price Busters because they're the only one to go with. When I told them our water was off they were able to get me in the next day instead of waiting three days. They came out and were the first company to actually use a scope to see what was going on. It was a blockage- not a broken water main at all. They cleared it and saved me GOBS of money ($7K to be precise) and I could turn the water back on for the first time in days! I am so grateful to these guys. By the way- the other plumbing and water main repair firms who gave me a bogus fix that I didn't need are all listed in Yelp with top reviews. Be careful! Call Price Busters- the name is goofy but they are the best!

What a great company.  I called, told them about a leak I had in my garage ceiling,  made an appointment on Thursday night and they said they could be here around 9:30-10am Friday morning.  He called at 9:30, said he would be here at 9:45, and he was!  The repair had complications that were worked out professionally and he completed the job in excellent style!  I would not hesitate to call them again and again.

I had a very positive experience with Price Busters Plumbing who were able to quickly and successful fix a tricky condo plumbing problem. I had a situation where there was a bad smell coming from the bathroom of my condo, and after a visit from a different plumber who could not figure it out + baffled building maintenance, did not know what to do. I sent a request to multiple plumbers on Yelp describing the situation, and received a message back from Price Busters detailing what they could do for odor detection, as well as a very reasonable price quote for the investigation. The plumber arrived on-time, was nice, and went to the extra effort to diagnose the problem including checking with neighbors for leaks (unlike the previous plumber I had used). I got an immediate quote for the fix (also reasonable), and was able to get the fix then immediately by installing a wax seal (job took ~2 hours). It has been a week, and the smells are gone! Would definitely recommend/use Price Busters again.

Only advice - the phone number on the Yelp page is INCORRECT - use the phone number from their website (206-348-8138 - found via google) to confirm your appointment.

4/14/17 Edit: 3-stars:
Hate to say it but they are slipping a bit. As a customer, especially when you are taking time off of work to meet someone at your home, you expect them to either make the appointment, or call. We had been having issues with our main bathroom (strong sewer gas smell) and scheduled an appointment for them to come check it out.

On the Monday they were supposed to show, they didn't show up, so 15mins after the appointment window ended, I called in. The plumber had been stuck on another job and they wouldn't be able to make it out that day, but would come tomorrow. Great, call me when that happens please!

The next day they were scheduled to come out, and the same thing happened. 15mins after the allotted time I called again and was told that the plumber was on the way, and would be there in 15mins. 45mins later he showed up. After fixing the problem I paid for the services and he left.

We had another issue the next day and they were able to come out for that appointment on time. But, the problem with the smell that we originally had them come out to fix didn't go away.

I had enough and called another plumber. They came out (on time!!) and said that the incorrect type of wax seal was used, and that is why the smell was still coming through. After replacing the seal the smell is gone. Come on!

We had really appreciated the work that PB had done for us, but it seems to be slipping a bit as the business grows. I hope they are able to reverse the course they are going down, because I do wish them well. But, unfortunately they have lost a customer they have had for 2 years.

We had a plumbing issue with our kitchen drain line. The first people we called were Price Busters. They came out the same day to inspect it, and then came back the following day to replace our faulty line. We'll continue to call on Price Busters, whenever we need plumbing help! Thanks Zach, Josh and Rafael!

Original - 5-stars:
Zach, the owner came out to our house to give us a free quote on replacing a section of sewer line. Another big name plumber had given us a quote that ended up 2-3x more than what Zach quoted. They also had exactly the same warranty on their work, so it was a no brainer. After we decided to have him do the work, he started immediately, finished that night, and we couldn't be happier. We will be using Price Busters Plumbing next time there is a need!

These guys just fixed a hole in my pipes and got rid of a clog.  The only reason I won't give five stars is the wait time for them to show up.  Otherwise, super nice and professional.  They did a great job and made sure to clean up afterward.  I felt they really took the time they needed and were very thorough.  Beau is super hot too so having him show up at your door is not a bad thing.

I can't say enough positive things about this company.  Beau showed up within a two day window of calling for a quote.  He was extremely efficient at diagnosing the problem and within 30 minutes I had a quote in my inbox.   This was a preventative job versus an emergency; however, we did have a specific timeline to get it done.  The Price Busters quote was more than half the price of the first quote from a very popular local plumber.    At first I thought, no way, this can't be possible.  I was wrong.  I continued to be amazed with their professionalism and efficiency.  They were able to schedule the job in a timely manner and were extremely accommodating to ensure minimal hours without running water to the house.   Alex did all the scheduling and the play by play of progress and when the job was complete, they sent photos and videos and made it very easy to pay online.   Just wow!!   I would recommend this company over and over and over again.

I had three plumbing contractors out to my house when I had a blockage I could not clear on my own.  First contractor came out snaked the drain pulled out insulation and said I had a broken pipe and he needed to get a higher level tech out.  Second contractor came out said the pipe wasn't broken but a cap had been broken off and needed replacing and he'd get an estimate together.  Beaux from Price Busters was the third contractor out.  He came out of the crawl space with a picture of the situation.  He promptly screwed the cap back on (there was no broken pipe) and then properly snaked the drain and finished the job in about 45 minutes.  It's terrible to think that these other professionals would take advantage of a homeowner in this way during the COVID-19 pandemic, but I'm happy to report the hat the team from Price Busters was fast, honest and budget friendly as their name implies.  Highly recommend giving them a call if you find yourself in need of a plumber.

Service was good. No complaints.
My problem was with the pricing. Usually with all plumbers I've worked before, they charge by hours of labor ($150-$200 per hour in Seattle area) plus the cost of materials.
Price Busters gave me an upfront price of $600 with no explanation of how it breaks down to expected time or materials.
Their technician finished the work in less than 30 minutes (!!), and the only material was a standard check-valve (about $20) and a 24 pipe (about $50).
Even if you consider 30 minutes as a whole hour, and add some overhead, profit, warranty etc. you'll never get to more than $300 for this kind of work.
I had no choice but paying the $600 they charged me...
The last thing I'd expect from a business named Price-Busters is being dishonest in their pricing.

I bought a house and I was drowning in priority projects, some of which were big ticket items.  The sewer line was from the 40s and needed to to be repaired and effectively replaced with a new one.  I had about six bids  and the varying was enormous.  Price Busters came in as among the most reasonable and I was really impressed by Zach's (the owner's) work ethic.  This was the best construction project experience I have ever had.  Zach's crew was efficient, hardworking and on schedule.  Most importantly thought, the quality of the work was outstanding.  The liner gave my house a brand new colon and I got to see the video of the final outcome.  They were so good that they got the pipe almost flush against the sewer main.  The crew has lots of skill fixing and lining older pipes.  Zach and his crew took great care of me as a customer, communicated throughout the project, and I enjoyed the entire experience.  I highly recommend Price Busters.  Go ahead and compare bids.  You'll see that Price Busters delivers excellent value.

I ran into friendly Zach, one of the owners, at a local plumbing supply shop. I had tried without luck to replace a kitchen faucet part. Without any pressure, he gave me his card and offered to come evaluate for a new faucet. I then started thinking about replacing my old water guzzling toilet for a new comfortable one. Zach responded quickly to my email. He then came out a few days later to see the work, gave a free electronic bid (GREAT!) and completed the work on time, professionally and with a smilejust two days later. Nearly instant gratification for a new faucet and toilet in my vintage condo. Definitely give PRICEBUSTERS a call.

I got a leaking pipe on my water heater on Saturday. Called several plumbers, and managed to fallback on Price Busters Plumbing once again who answered my call. They were able to slot me in their Monday schedule. Daniel came and found the issue and fixed them promptly and recommended me to replace all the bad synthetic piping that is causing me much grief with brand new copper ones. Decided to change the expansion tank which will expire within a year or so. Everything was done promptly and professionally, had a good time talking with Daniel too.  Overall, the service costs were reasonably priced and I would use them if I ever have any plumbing issues (hopefully not anytime soon).

The owners; Zach and Beau are the best. They get it about customer service and fair pricing. In 2018 they came out, diagnosed the problem and installed a pressure valve. Had several quotes and Price Busters was the the most reasonable. Last week I had another plumbing problem and of course I called them immediately. Zach and Mike,(new to the team) was awesome. Diagnosed the problem, came back with a part and fixed it that day. Again, reasonably priced, professional and appreciative of my business. And, they clean up after themselves.  I highly recommend this company for your plumbing needs.

Price Busters Plumbing is awesome with great pricing!  Josh came out for an estimate but was so awesome we decided to have him do the job.  He was able to fix our issue as well as install our new faucet right then.  Fantastic response time to our initial query, fast response time to provide an estimate and fast response to actually completing the job.

He was very nice, friendly and fair.  Additionally, he was very knowledgeable and efficient.  I will be telling everyone I know to use these guys, starting here with Yelp.

I just had to let everyone know what a Genius Nathan was taking care of my plumbing problem today. I thought all hope was lost, but I found you guys as an Angie's List member and I'm so happy I did.

As a homeowner, you don't always have money laying around for life's emergencies whether big or small.

I just want to thank you for having Nathan as an employee because he saved me and my family during our crisis.

Great job!  Have an 80 year old house in NE Seattle that has been giving me sewer backup problems for years.  I've dealt with many plumbers over the years and Zach and his team were fantastic.  The job was to clean and line 3 segments of buried sewer line.  Getting equipment in to tight spots and dealing with mature growth trees was no problem.  Scheduling was quick and they started the job right away.  Finished the job on time as well.  We had no down time with the sewer line.  The staff were courteous and did a real nice job replacing soil and replanting with grass seed.  Zach went out of his way, and above and beyond, to answer all my questions and treat his customer right.  Thanks!

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.

Professional, respectful, timely, informative, and friendly! I called these guys on a Sunday at 1pm, and they provided a ten minute heads up call, then arrived at 3pm! They had been really busy and had three emergency calls Saturday night too! When the plumber arrived, he investigated the problem, immediately quoted me, reminded me of $50 off, and then ended up doing more than I asked! He snaked my clogged shower as requested, and then fixed my leaking faucet by extending the short copper pipe and attaching a new faucet! I will call again and recommend all my friends and family!

Called to make an appointment for Sunday and received an appointment window of 12pm to 2pm on Sunday. No one showed up. Called them up at 2pm to check why no one showed up and they said the person I talked to wrote down Monday 12pm to 2pm. Let them know that is incorrect and I had asked for Sunday as I have work on Monday. The guy said no problem, we can do 6pm on Monday after I get back from work. Well, the plumber shows up at my house at 12pm Monday even after I told them I can't do 12pm Monday. Then I call the plumber a few times but plumber never answers. I figured maybe the plumber will come at 6pm, but nope. No call and no show. I wouldn't recommend them as they don't keep their appointments and don't know their own appointments. Clearly there is no communication internally on the times they need to be at the client site.

Wow, Zach and his crew rescued us from a Thanksgiving weekend mess.  A pump in our studio sewer system quit, and left us with no working water systems.  They came out to inspect the problem on Friday, and had it fixed by the end of the evening, working in the dark and damp.  And the bill for all of this, parts and labor, was quite reasonable.  We highly recommend this company.

Very nice guys, did a great job, when they FINALLY showed up.  Set up appt. for Fri., 11/20.  Nate arrives, says had a big rough in the prior week and so didn't have parts. Set up for 2 wks. later (next time had planned a Fri. off + have to turn off water in bldg, post notices etc.).  Didn't show.  Called, they couldn't make it. (Found Mon., that he'd left a msg. on my work phone.)  Set up another appt. 2 wks. later. B/c of all the hassle, gave me a good discount. So, was happy even though the hassle kept me from getting other things I needed to andhad planned for when scheduling those Fridays off done b/c of waiting at home for them. 3rd time was the charm. Nate came, did the job - it was changing an eroded pipe from the wall to the hotwater heater area.  Had to move stack W/D for access.  2 days later went to use washer, no water would come into it.  Called, they said would come Mon. night. They said I must have turned off the valves, b/c they didn't.  I said I didn't either as knew whole bldg. would be turned off.  In any event, didn't care and was willing to pay for another visit and asked them to also change out hoses w/metal coiled ones that Nate had recommended while at it to make it more worthwhile. Didn't show, didn't call. I had paid for parking downtown and left work early, meaning had to work later another day. Called them next a.m./Tues. (12/22) set appt. for last night (12/29).  I even called last night around 5 pm before leaving work to see if a go, got VM, left msg.  Didn't call, didn't show. Another day paying for parking and leaving work early.  After the 2 hr. window, I called main #, got a guy, he said he would check and get back to me. Didn't.  Called Beau.  He said he would check and get back to me. Didn't.  I don't know if it is b/c my jobs were small or what. However, my condo assn. will need to do an entire plumbing retrofit in future and had thought to recommend them, even w/the hassles on the initial job. Also, I know a few contractors always looking for good plumbers and had thought to recommend them. It may be an anomaly but every time and having to make multiple appts.?.  Initially was to be done 11/20 -- here it is 12/30. Called my handyman this morning. He looked at it, said when pipe was changed out, all the erosion from the old went into the filters and totally clogged them, that is why no water filling in washer.  He cleaned all the filters and it works fine now. I really liked the Price Buster Plumbing guys, very nice.  I know they are hard working but all the no shows?  And the not even calling? I really don't feel comfortable recommending them however even though they do good work (other friend had major job done by them; someone in my bldg. had them replace hot water heater and they did a good job with my pipe). After yet another no show and no call back, decided needed to do a Yelp review.

For a homeowner this may not seem like a typical plumbing job but I needed to have a 30 Square foot section of aggregate concrete walkway poured that would match an existing walkway. Matching can be tricky business when the aggregate stones and concrete color are next to existing concrete. No problem for Beau and Zach from Price Busters Plumbing who came out and did an excellent match job. They also used their water jetter high pressure spray lines to clean out a corrugated drain line along the base of my house that had been clogged. Another job well done. I would not hesitate to call PBP again for any kind of plumbing help.

Our sewer line had a clog and caused a backup.    Called Price Busters Plumbing the day before some guests were arriving.   Zack was able to make it out that day and worked hard to clear the main line with water jet.   There is a 2nd line that is still slow that he could not diagnose without a camera (which he did not have at the time).   He did say that if this slow line persists, he would come out and use the camera (with no charge) to determine the issue.  

Zack was a hard worker, and stayed longer than expected to resolve the main issue (even though it was late and he was leaving town for the weekend).   I will use them again.

We were assigned to Price Busters Plumbing by Repipe Specialists. Nathan (Nate) and Corey came out along with some other guys to dig a trench and repipe our entire home. We had only one snafu during this entire process. They were supposed to show up on Tuesday and when they weren't here by 2pm I called and Zack-- the owner apologized and said a he had a lot of call-ins that day. They were out bright and early around 9:30 am and were finished with the whole job by 5:30 pm. They laid down blankets to keep our home clean. They were respectful, knowledgeable, and didn't complain once that it was pouring down rain and 50 degrees outside. Zack and Bo- co-owner kept me well informed with permit pulling, inspections and banal administrative details. I felt like we were in excellent hands. The patching crew came out yesterday and insulated everything after the inspection. The insulation work was above and beyond what they needed to do. Nit picky complaint: Jacob and Don-- the patchers complained about the weather and didn't work as efficiently as Nate and Corey did.

These guys are great.  Called them after I tried the standard remedies for liquid plumber, draino, vinger and baking soda, and plunging a stopped up kitchen sink. They had $89 special which seemed reasonable so I took a chance. Beau and Zack come out together to snake out backed up sink.    They were both good guys and knew what they were doing. Their first attempt failed as the power auger was an old machine and it only got 25 feet.  They went away and returned a couple hours later and had a brand new machine.  Within 10 minutes they had extended the snake to 35-40 ft and unblocked the blockage.  Unfortunately, when they pressure tested the drainage they found it was slow and there was some gurgling due to air in the pipes.    They installed a 'studor' vent to an existing ABS pipe underneath the kitchen cabinet and it helped increase the flow rate and eliminate the gurgling.  I thought the studor vent pricing was a bit high at $199 for 10 min of work, but it seemed necessary.  After they left I ran the washing machine downstairs and when it drained there was very loud gurgling in the kitchen sink!  I called Beau back and he said he would have someone come out the next morning.  This time Nathan showed up and he was a great guy.  Extremely knowledgeable and after looking at all of the house drains he concluded that the former owners had not installed the plumbing system per code - and the fact that I had only one outside vent was a big part of the problem.  He figured out a simple way to reduce the gurgling noise - by temporarilly removing the clean out cap under the sink to allow more venting.  He discussed other permanent alternatives and gave me a quote of installing a new studor vent.  I really appreciated his patience and knowledge in explaining my problem.  I highly recommend these guys for any plumbing problem.  They are nice guys - very knowledgable and good communicators and responsive.  They are also highly rated on Angie's list.
