Recommended Customer Reviews
Have always used Watson Plumbing and Rich, the best plumber around. I had pinhole leaks in my kitchen faucet pipes and I knew those old pipes would not stand up to any repairs at all. I thought I would have to have the wall taken out to get at the repair but Rich knew how much pressure the old faucet and pipes could stand and I now have a lovely wall faucet. Thanks, Rich.
Shane H.Fantastic service, quality workmanship with great attention to detail and fair pricing. The staff at Watson went way above and beyond to install a toilet and sink in my master bathroom after I had replaced the tile flooring. I needed the work done quickly and they were able to squeeze me in the very next day. I would and will hire them for all my future plumbing needs. Thanks Tim, Patti and Kim! You guys are AWESOME!!! Highly recommended
Lucas H.These guys managed to fit my small job into a busy schedule when nobody -- and I mean nobody -- was able to. I must have called fifteen plumbers, and they were all at least three days out. Rich swung by between calls, dropped a flange in super old school way with jute and lead, and was out clean. I didn't get any ""you should have called a plumber first"" malarkey. I'd definitely call them first any time I have further plumbing needs.
Kristin V.The day before we had tenants moving in, we had a minor plumbing problem with the kitchen sink. I called Watson and they were able to schedule me for the next morning, which was great! The lost star (only 4 out of 5) was due to my having to call them the next morning after no one came 30 minutes past my appointment time. The scheduler apologized for the oversight and someone was at my door within 10 minutes.
The plumber was prompt and fixed my problem in under an hour, and there was no extra charge for the ""emergency"" appointment.
P S.These guys are amazing! I have been using their services for about 5 years now and am so glad that I found a good plumbing company for my rentals! They get the job done so that they never have to return. There's no one else I would use because other companies that have serviced my apartments always have to keep coming back for the same problem. But with Watson Plumbing, they get the job done right the first time!
I have been using their service for about five years now and to be honest, there is nobody else I trust to get the job done right the first time. Paying the full cost for a real, competent plumber has paid off in the long run. They fix all of my properties' old issues from before I bought the buildings.
Very poor overall experience. Plumber was very agitated. Huffed, puffed and heavily sighed throughout his time at my house. Tossed his tools around. Wanted me to come look at things, but when I asked what I was supposed to do, I was met with grumbling, mumbling. Constantly complained about things I had nothing to do with. I booked Watson because they were 10 blocks away, but was charged for 30 minutes of travel. When I questioned why there was so much travel time, I got a bunch of, 'well I'm not even supposed to be here, my day ended at 3, I'm doing you a favor..."" I paid him so he would leave. The job got done, but it was a brutal experience.
I couldn't be more pleased with Watson Plumbing and will definitely call them again in the future for any plumbing jobs.
In December, we were in the process of buying a home. In trying to do a sewer inspection, it was discovered that the sewer cap was fused on and the sewer scope guys were not comfortable removing it. The seller was supposed to hire a plumber, but after a week went by with nothing done, our deadline was approaching and we needed to do something quickly.
I was desperately calling around two days before christmas trying to find someone who would go out and remove the cap. When I reached Watson Plumbing, they responded immediately and said they could send someone out the next morning (christmas eve!). I didn't even bother to ask what the cost would be - I figured between the urgency, the short notice, and the holiday, I just needed to bite the bullet. Imagine my surprise when I got the bill a month later, and it was completely reasonable and less than I expected.
These guys do good work, they are ethical and above-board, and they don't price-gouge you just because you're in a bind and need help on short notice. I was totally impressed and can't recommend them enough.
I called this company based on the reviews here, and am writing this review based on how they handled my call. My pipes have frozen due to our frosty weather, and I had called several other companies who quoted my $300 to come out and defrost them. The helpful man who answered the phone at Watson first asked me a number of questions about my house. When he had determined the type of pipes I have, he told me that it was highly unlikely that they would burst in this kind of weather and that if he were in position he would wait until things warm up before spending a bunch of money on a situation that might resolve itself. He also advised me about turning off the water input to my house when I am not home to avoid damage if there is a break. This kind of advice is so helpful, and my experience confirms all the positive reviews that came before. I will definitely be calling these guys when and if I ever need a plumber!
They are fast, courteous, do meticulous work and clean up after themselves. I have found my new 'go-to' plumber.
