Walt's Plumbing

Walt was fabulous.
No nonsense
He answers his own phone (no fancy second-hand answering service) and if he can fit you, he'll show up ASAP
I called about a leaking water heater.
His other job was wrapping up in the

I called Walt as he was highly recommended in my neighborhood Nextdoor app. He came in short notice and mitigated my insta-hot water leak quickly and at a very reasonable rate. He recommended removing an unnecessary water filter. He also informed me that to fully remediate the situation and replace the fixture will require several hours and drilling a bigger hole in the granite countertop to accommodate the fixture size. Since the existing fixture has plastic pipes at some point they will be brittle and will probably leak and recommends doing that work when the time comes. I will not hesitate to call him for any future plumbing needs. Other folks have posted that he is gruff - that is true but he is knowledgeable, informative and helpful all of which more than make up for gruffness.

Can't comment on their service, might be great, but definitively not interested in small jobs. Just called them to install a new Sink with fixtures etc in the laundry room, but was given the 'we are too busy with large remodels' :(

I called Walt as he was highly recommended in Nextdoor app. He came in short notice, fixed my clogged sinks quickly and at a very reasonable rate. I will call him for any future need with no hesitation.

Walt has been our neighborhood plumber for the past 18 years. Aside from his demeanor, he is qualified and has done reliable, honest work from the usual clogs of sinks/toilets and faucet hardware replacement, to installations of disposal, sink and toilets. Yet, I was very disappointed how he scolded and insulted me on the last visit. Maybe I missed that verbal treatment these past years because of his mumblings...4 Stars for his work; 0 Stars for customer interface!

Walt was out here on short notice, snaked my sink drain and got rid of the clog. All at a very reasonable price. I would call him back in a minute for my plumbing needs!

I hired Walt for another job, and again, was more than impressed with his work. I had Roto Rooters come by and quote me a price, which seemed excessive. I was right - Walt did the job in half and hour and charged less than a fifth (!!!) of what Roto Rooters quoted me. I'm so happy I found an honest reliable plumber who does an amazing job. Can't imagine hiring anyone else in the future!

I had various people install all-new countertops, sinks, faucets, etc. in my kids bathroom. Unfortunately no one saw that the old location of water valves and drains obstructed the pop-up drain rods in one of the faucets. They suggested that I move the plumbing at significant expense.
Walt's Plumbing was recommended by the Keller Supply warehouse in Redmond. Mr Walt Gillespie simply used a set of pliers and a hacksaw to cut down parts of the stainless assembly until it all fit.
He's a very nice, soft-spoken guy. Thank you for saving me time and $$ with a non-invasive solution to my plumbing problem.

I have used Walt two separate times at my home in Bellevue. His prices are fair and he does quality work.

Walt fit my constantly-running toilet into his nearly-full schedule the same morning I called, giving me about 20 minutes notice when he found time. I described my problem and my toilet, and he brought all the parts he might need to complete the job. The water level looked borderline too high to me the first time, so he took the fill valve apart again, adjusted it, and reassembled it, grumbling as he did so. His price was just what I expected. I would call him again, and recommend him to others.
