HISTORY

Established in 1946.
by Gayle Hatfield at 2821 S. Jackson in Seattle. The company was named Hatfield Plumbing and Heating and was later incorporated in 1950. Lou Soreano began working for Gayle Hatfield in 1952 and soon became the most requested plumber by Hatfield's Plumbing customers. Lou was like a son to Gayle Hatfield and when Mr. Hatfield was ready to retire he offered to sell the business to Lou. In 1967 Lou purchased the business and added Soreano's to the name, we were then doing business as Soreano's Hatfield Plumbing. In 1973 Lou Soreano moved the business to its current location in Columbia City. The business continued to grow with the addition of a showroom and the company's exceptional reputation. While growing up around the family business, Lou's son Ron learned everything there is to know about plumbing and how to run a successful plumbing business from his father. Ron purchased the business from Lou in 1996. We have since dropped Hatfield from our d.b.a. name and Soreano's Plumbin

Clogged drain again in an older home. Has happened before and called them out again.

Yes, they weren't even close to make their appointment time and they didn't notify me. So the only way to find out was to call them and ask for an estimated new time. But, stuff happens and I get that.

But they stayed later until they got things going again, were very respectful and showed me where the issue was. Masked up and cognizant of where we are in today's world, which is a pretty different place.

Wouldn't return my call and then when I texted him again was very hostile.
Wouldn't want him in my house.

Sorry to say this, but it looks like they will be closing soon. Roger the super helpful office guy has retired. They won't be replacing him. Last week they locked the store doors. No more service for walk in customers. I'm guessing the next step will be, closed for good. They were a fixture we could rely on for many years. Sad to see them go.

They will not install water heater drains. I needed to have this done for a condo and they were not interested.

A friend highly recommended them. I completely agree. Covid friendly, wearing masks at all time. Very competitively priced. Guys were friendly and very efficient. They explained everything. All parts used were not cheap imports.
They repaired a leak from the meter to my house, even put a valve on my irrigation system for very little extra dollars. Also installed a pressure reducing valve with a gauge and replaced a 1960's shut off valve.
Had bad experiences with plumbers locally for the last 20 years, really happy to find my new goto plumbers

Reasonably priced and great customer service! Brad was very knowledgeable and went above and beyond with his service. I was extremely impressed and would highly recommend!

The service was extremely responsive and punctual. I was very pleased that they were able to schedule me for the next day for a relatively minor shower faucet leak. To their credit, they did advise me in advance what the price would be, perhaps higher than usual because I was told that I have a more complicated German manufactured unit. They sent out 2 plumbers, which might explain the higher price. They seemed to work efficiently and the bill came in at the estimated amount. Overall a positive experience.

No, No, no, Don't waste your time, look elsewhere; avoid.

I had an apartment sink drain line that needed replacing. I went into great detail of the problem with Roger, I was told 'no problem' they had time on either Monday or Tuesday (it was Friday when I called). Monday I waited for their call to say when to expect them, finally I called them and was told they didn't want to go into a crawl space to work!!! A plumber that wont go into a crawl space? Such a waste of my time, and couldn't even call to tell me.

I had to quickly start calling yet more plumbers. Thankfully Fox Plumbing was able to get me in on Tuesday, and didn't blink when I described the work. .

We have an old craftsman home built in 1920's and Soreano's was highly recommended for old homes. Our old pipes were leaking for sometime and Ron, Brad and crew did a phenomenal job replacing the pipes in our basement. A job that would've taken 5hrs, they completed in 2hrs. Friendly, very knowledgeable and efficient! I think I've found my new go-to plumber. Also, an added bonus they are a small business in Columbia City. Supporting small local businesses!

I had an issue with an older American Standard toilet and I knew that the typical big box stores wouldn't have the needed parts for the repair. I went to their Seattle store location in Columbia City and spoke with Roger. He was extremely knowledgeable about the different parts, and provided great advice. The toilet was old, so several different parts in the toilet were compromised, so it required a few trips to Soreano's to get all the parts needed ... but I fixed the toilet. If you ever need some unique and/or older plumbing parts and want to speak to helpful and knowledgeable people that have been in the business for decades, then go straight to Soreano's. I've been going to Soreano's for many years now and they always provide me with great help!
