After completing a plumbing apprenticeship in the late 1970s, Carl Kruse began constructing custom homes. The custom home market was successful until a recession in the early 80s drove mortgage interest rates past 15%. Thus, houses stopped selling. To sustain himself, Carl began focusing on plumbing repairs. With the economic recovery, Carl brought on skilled plumbers and started working on residential and commercial plumbing projects, along with service and repair. In time, Carl's son Ryan became a plumber and now plays a key role in running the business. Both Carl and Ryan thank the skilled tradespeople and office staff, past and present, who have helped build C.H. Kruse Plumbing into what it is today.
Since 1990, I have been working with my father, Carl, at C.H. Kruse Plumbing. Growing up in the plumbing trade, I spent 13 years in the field before transitioning to the office for estimating and project management. My wife, Cristen, is nearing the end of her law school journey at Lewis and Clark. We have a daughter, aged 9, who is currently in fourth grade. Additionally, we are expecting a new baby. I truly enjoy being part of our family business, and I also find joy in coaching my daughter's soccer team, snowboarding, kiteboarding, playing soccer, running, photography, and many other activities.

This place never showed up for there appointment and this was the second place I called for services and they did the same thing , they never called us to coming or reschedule the appointment. we got nothing I will not be using them...

Sent a request for a fairly simple estimate on replacing 3 toilets and never received a response. That is all I know.

Do you have polybutylene pipes and a Manabloc manifold? My house in Vancouver does and I had a difficult time finding a plumber with experience to work on these systems. In fact, I contacted several companies and either didn't hear back at all or was met with confusion by the person answering the phone as if they didn't even know what a Manabloc manifold was. That is until I called Kruse Plumbing. Right from the first phone call they were so friendly and responsive and knew just what I was talking about. Cierra quickly arranged a time for their estimator, Bob, to come out to my house to inspect my system and write up an estimate. Bob showed up exactly on time to the minute and was very professional and knowledgeable about Manablocs and had the estimate to me via email the next day. Manabloc replacements aren't cheap but I thought the bid was very reasonable based on the research I had done, so I hired them right away. A few days later, Kevin was dispatched to my house to do the replacement. Kevin was great. Very confident and has replaced many Manablocs. I was told by another plumber that the drywall around the Manabloc cabinet would have to be cut back on both sides to expose the pipes and fittings. When I asked Kevin if he would need to do that he said, 'no, I've replaced Manablocs in tighter spaces than this one'! True to his word, the drywall was left intact which saved me even more money by not having to hire a drywall tradesman to put everything back together. Lastly, I was expecting this project to take up most of the day. Kevin was in and out in under 3 hours tops. So, if you are looking for a reliable plumbing company that actually seems to want your business and will treat you right, then I would highly recommend Kruse Plumbing..

I highly recommend Kruse Plumbing. Danny quickly found the source of my water leak and addressed the problem immediately. They were able to patch the water line the same day. The staff is friendly and reliable. Kruse Plumbing did an excellent job.

My hot water heater rusted out and water was running all over the garage floor. I called a friend and he recommended Kruse Plumbing. I called Kruse and they gave me a quote over the phone and service technician arrived within one hour. He measured the hot water heater, called someone at the company and someone drove out with my new water heater. In the meantime, the service tech took out the old one and then when the new one arrived, he installed it right away. Great, friendly service from the office person and the service tech. When the invoice arrived, there were no surprise extra charges as I've received from other companies. I highly recommend Kruse Plumbing. Fast, courteous, and efficient service.

We just had a new water heater installed by Danny of Kruse Plumbing, and he did an excellent job. I was very happy they could come out and do the install the next day when I called. Our 25 year old water heater started leaking, and less than 24 hours later, we have a new water heater. He wore a mask the entire time, for those of you who are concerned, and the work area was left very clean. Thanks to a speedy response and installation, we had minimal interruption in our hot water service.

They were very courteous when I called to inquire about the installation of a whole house filtration system. They explained that they were very busy and gave me the name of another company in Vancouver that specializes in that. I had a nice conversation with one of the owners about shared business experiences.

I had Daniel come out to my home (wore a mask the whole time) and replace a section of my old galvanized shower plumbing with copper and pex pipe, install a new mixing valve, run pex to the site of my future double sink vanity and split our one drain pipe into two.
Daniel was friendly, professional and punctual. He didn't mind me asking all sorts of plumbing questions while he worked.
From start to finish, CH Kruse plumbing was very easy to work with, well priced and professional. I'd highly recommend them for any of your plumbing needs.

Very happy with C.H. Kruse Plumbing! Arrived on time, was thorough, fixed the issue quickly and left the area clean. Estimate (for both time and bill) was accurate and very reasonable. I will definitely use this company again!

Great job. One handle was ridiculously difficult to turn and the stopper needed adjustment. Jaime changed out the kit on top. It works great. Stopper was adjusted too. Very nice guy too. I will use these guys again should the need arise.
