Affordable Plumbing of West Seattle

My mom's sewer line backed up and I was in a rush to find a plumber. Chris came out the next day to go over options and pricing. The whole repair was wrapped up within 2 days and on budget. I had a great experience Chris and wouldn't hesitate to use him again!

Thank you!

Chris was super easy to work with.. He was able to fit me in the same day I called. We just had a minor repair, but couldn't manage to fix it ourselves. Now we have our sink back and a plumber who can do other types of construction/handiwork on our speed dial.. Thank you Chris for your prompt, courteous service.

They really ARE affordable. Relieved to find a good plumber! To be fair, we only had a clogged drain (possibly 55' down!!!) which is less than most of the reviewers here. However, I am so overjoyed to use the kitchen sink again (no more dishes in the bath tub!).

The price was waaaaay lower than I expected which I am grateful for. The only downside is that they are a little hard to pin down timing wise which wasn't a problem for us but could be if you have something to get to. They never really said specifically when they would show up nor did they call to confirm when they were coming but I'm just glad they came today when I only called them yesterday. They also gave us advice on how to avoid clogs after we paid up.

I'm hoping I don't need much plumbing work in the near future but if I do, I'm definitely calling this company again!

Chris Tempia is fantastic. I've had mediocre plumbing folks in the past, been gouged by SW Plumbing, etc. And Chris is as good as it gets. I called him on 12/30 to report that my newer Rinnai gas heater / water heater was not working and even though he was sick as a dog, guided me through how to take it apart and check key things on the unit. We diagnosed the problem enough to have me get a warranty claim going. The following week, when he was feeling better, he visited my place and called Rinnai to exactly diagnose all that was wrong and get my replacement parts ordered and underway. He will be my go-to West Seattle plumber from here on out.

I called affordable plumbing to get help with a clogged toilet. The person I spoke to said that he would come by my house the next day in the afternoon. He did not specify a time but said he would try to squeeze me in between appointments. I waited all afternoon and nobody showed up. I didn't even get a phone call afterwards to reschedule. Overall, I was very disappointed with Affordable plumbing.

They came to fix a leak in our water line in last year We were charged $430 and it started to leak again 2 months later. When I called, Tom said they only put a clamp on it to fix the leak and would guarantee their work. We set a day for them to come out and look at it. They didn't show so I called/e-mailed several other times and was told they would come out the next day. This happened about 5 times and they still didn't come out or call to say they weren't going to make it. When they finally came (one month later), they said we had to replace the whole line. We thought that's what they did in June. I asked him WHY it cost $430 to just put a clamp on and he said because they had to move rockery (a few only). They quoted us $1500 to do replace the pipes and said that was a good deal because others would charge double. They didn't offer any discount for the botched work the first time.. Anyways, we called O'Neill Plumbing to give us an estimate and it cost a little bit more. Once O'Neil got to the pipe, they told us the work done by Affordable plumbing in June was shoddy. They also didn't need to dig out ANY rockery and they came quickly, worked efficiently with 2 other trucks coming by to check and we got the permit a few hours later. Of course, I e-mailed Tom to tell him what O'Neil plumbing said about the poor job and just wanted him to know since I wasn't here when Affordable came out and did the work in June. I figured he was the owner of the company and he should know if one of his workers did a poor job. I got a RUDE e-mail back from him telling me I must not like myself if I needed to put down others ... that's when I figured out it must have been him who did the work. I e-mailed him and told him that was not my intentions and I'm sorry he felt that way.... I got a reply ""Whatever"".... Very rude and poor attitude. He could care less if the customer is happy.. Tom is there immediately when you first call him and then ignores you, puts you off and is RUDE if it's a complaint about redoing a job.

I ran into Chris at Ferguson looking for help and he offered help. Although he could not make the original scheduled appointment, he called and gave me a head's up to ask for rescheduling for next day. It was a job well done and his rate was very reasonable.

Chris came out same day (within 3 hours) and fixed an external leaky faucet lickity split and at a reasonable cost. Friendly and informative... really appreciated his great customer service. Will call him next time!

Never wrote a review for anyone in my life but need to for Chris and AP of WS. He answered my call, came when he promised, and did a bang up job. 5 stars Chris...as good as it gets. Thanks for taking care of me.
