Affordable Plumbing of West Seattle

Chris I.

No-show for two appointments this week, didn't even call to let us know he wouldn't be coming. We'll find another plumber.

We hired Affordable Plumbing after discovering that our shared sewer line had backed up in our basement. While they may be great for relatively straightforward plumbing issues, they are not equipped for major sewer line repairs. Their approach was amateur at best (hand-dug hole with no reinforcement, no permit, no sump pump). In short, they did not have the proper equipment (or knowledge) to get the job done. After two days of destroying our neighbor's yard as well as the pipe itself, they still didn't have a resolution to the problem. We called them off the job and hired a legitimate plumber (who took care of it in hours with some heavy machinery). After checking with the city, we were unable to confirm the business license number presented by the owner. Ultimately, we got our money back, but I would not, under any circumstances recommend Affordable Plumbing.

Double kitchen sink would not drain. They came out, at the end of a very long day for them, and with a simple plunge fixed the problem (I tried, I really did!). Three minutes and all better - and graciously did not charge me. Be sure to call them first!

Knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. I left a message mid morning on a Sunday and received a phone call back within hours. Tom and his team got the job done early that week arranging their days around the job (connecting our sink/dishwasher to the plumbing) as quickly as they could while working diligently. They cleaned up after themselves and ensured the job was up to our standards before they left. If we ever need plumbing done we will call them again.

Tom and his team are AMAZING! This team is extremely reliable, hard-working, and honest - a rare trifecta in the world of plumbing.

Thank you so much - referrals all around!

We hired this company to replace our sewer line and rough in some new plumbing in our basement. They told us the job would take a week to complete. After one week they were not even done with the outside and asked us to set up the inspection with the city after they had already told us they had done it. Then after not showing up for 3 days straight Tom said they were going to finish the job on Friday totaling 2 weeks to complete the job. Friday came and went and the job was still not done and we had to reschedule our concrete pouring over the new plumbing in the basement as a result. They then came back on Monday and completed the job but had not gotten the grade right from the outside and the plumbing rose above the existing floor in the basement. They then had to redo the entire project inside and out which took the rest of the week. We did appreciate that they fixed the mistake. However, once they were done we found buried trash in the dirt piles in the basement, a few beer cans and were missing some of our digging tools that were in the basement. They returned 4/5 missing tools once contacted but stated they did not have the last missing shovel. They were affordable but not worth the extra savings for this type of a job.

Tom and Chris are knowledgeable, friendly and reasonable. I am glad they were able to finally come out and help me.

I had a broken hose bib that required a new outdoor faucet replacement. Not an emergency since it only leaked when it was turned on. Lots of plumbing problems are emergencies and while they attended to these I was overlooked a couple of times. Otherwise I would give them 5 stars.

Fast, efficient and affordable. Will definitely use again if we need a plumber!

I highly recommend this plumber.

Update, they did show up to pick up the broken water heater as promised and bid on a couple of other big jobs we need done. This time I got to meet the owner, he was a nice guy very professional and even fixed a small problem that wasn't related to the water heater work they did.

The kitchen sink spout wasn't getting seemingly any water pressure. He keyed in on this right away. The old water heater had alot of sediment that plugged up the nozzle's screen... so that is why I thought it was related as it got worse after they flushed out the old water in the pipes.
-----------------------------------------------
They were fast, professional and the guys who showed up were good guys. Not the type you would be worried about in your home.

Came out same day I called to fix our gas water heater. I've done electric ones before, but never gas and I don't want to be soldering pipes together in that situation. Plus the water heater is down in our basement in a squished spot. Would take two strong people to haul it out half full of water. Why do I say that? Our house is very old and the drains no longer work very well. You can put like a gallon every 10 minutes down them as they soak through the ground below our house, not into the sewer.

Fixing those pipes will be more than we can afford for along time so I opted to hire pro's. I called around quite a bit. I not only liked these guys the best, they were the most honest for the price comparatively speaking.

I was quoted as high as 1,200 by other plumbers. For maybe three hours of work? I bet that makes Dr's wonder why they didnt become plumbers. Hell you could make more that is for sure.

Anyway they would have five stars but they didn't haul off the empty yet. Supposed to show up Monday for that.. When they do that I'll raise it to five stars. No big deal as by the dump there are a number of scrap metal guys just standing around by their trucks who will take it off my hands. But hauling it was part of the deal so... We'll see.

Tom was here within a few hours of my call. It was great relief to have such quick help with our under sink leak. Fantastic service! Thank you so much!
