Had some old stuck valves that were causing issues. This is what it looked like before hand, impossible to shut off. Had to deal with ice maker disconnect problem and Joe came up with clever solution. He doesnt rush to throw together any solution that is best for him, he walked through all my options and lets me choose. Very experienced so know how to confront variety of issues.
Joe is fantastic! He was very responsive and personable. Highly knowledgeable and great at explaining the problem and best way to fix it. I also appreciated that he did not try to upsell services and was honest about what was necessary and what wasn’t. I highly recommend him and he will be my go to plumber for all future problems.
I'm lucky to know a caring professional like Joe. I've had several odd piping issues at my house, interior and exterior, and Joe has always been HUGELY helpful over the phone and in person. He really cares about his craft and customers - and he doesn't just fix things; he improves them. He has longevity and sustainability in mind. He is a prompt and clear communicator (read: explainer of his craft to simpletons like me), and a real cool guy. I can't say enough nice things about Joe!
Due to an inexpert repair by a non-plumbing contractor several years ago, a leak had developed in the main outflow pipe from my second floor kitchen. The leak was not just behind the dishwasher, but also behind the drywall in back of it, and then out of sight behind the adjacent cabinetry. (Please, people, don't install cabinets in front of pipes!) Simple Plumber was able to diagnose the problem expertly. The offending, and near-unreachable piping was cut off, and replaced with new, accessible pipes to the outflow. Before and after photos attached. The cabinets remain intact, there's no leak behind, and the kitchen sink is useable again. Simple Plumber is the real deal!
Joe is a fantastic plumber. He came to my house and fixed all my problems with my disposal, dishwasher and air gap. Everything worked perfectly after he was finished. It was easy to make an appointment with his wife Sally, he arrived on time, knew exactly what to do and got it done quickly and at a great price. I couldn’t be happier with the work he did. Several months later I had a major water leak after the a big box store dishwasher install and I couldn’t use my kitchen sink. The store couldn’t get anyone out for four days! I called Joe, sent him some pictures of the leak, he diagnosed it over the phone, explained what was going on and got it fixed for me within hours. What he did was way above and beyond any of my expectations and I was so grateful. So not only is Joe a great plumber, he is a wonderful human being and will always be my go-to plumber!
I had issues with my shower that I thought really needed some complicated work. The team just called me walked me through the process and we solved the issue in less than five minutes. They did not even charge. It is RARE to find people who give A+ customer service and also possess great integrity. Thank you so much. I will be coming back for any of my plumbing needs.
Had a pipe under the sink burst and water was goin everywhere. Found a plumber in Seattle that could come out same day. He got it fixed up fast and even looked at another leak I didn’t even know about. Wasn’t cheap but def worth it to stop the flooding. Really knew his stuff and didn’t try to upsell anything. Plumbing issues stress me out but this made it way easier. If you’re in Seattle and need a plumber that don’t mess around, I’d say give these local ones a shot. Saved me a huge headache for sure.
It's such a relief to have Joe to turn to for plumbing issues. I recently discovered a leak under my kitchen sink, thanks to the water alarm that kept it from becoming a bigger problem. There are several plumbers that are rated highly here in West Seattle but the reviews for Simple Plumber spoke to Joe's consistent integrity and skills, both of which are important to me. It's clear that his clients trust him -- trust that I see is well deserved.
When he arrived, he promptly diagnosed the issue as an aging (11-year- old) failing faucet. He recommended his three top brands, and I called my favorite hardware store (Junction True Value) to see if they had any in stock. They had all three brands and were waiting for him when he arrived a few minutes later. He selected a terrific faucet and then immediately got to work installing it when he got back.
In addition to doing excellent work, he recommended some other service people, who I will call on as well. Some of the most helpful tips concerned what to look for when repairing/lining a sewer, which I'll need to do at some point in the next several years. I had just gotten conflicting reports from a couple different companies. Joe recommended a company I was not familiar with, and told me that the lining comes in two thicknesses -- one super thin and the other quite a bit thicker. He said that if we don't specify that we want the thicker lining, companies will often install the thin one, which doesn't hold up nearly as long. But instead of lining, he strongly recommended pipe bursting for a fix that will last decades. I also learned from him that hydro-jetting is much easier on the sewer pipe than grinding (which had been recommended to me by someone else). All of this was extremely helpful information.
Thank you Joe for your excellent work and advice. It's a great comfort knowing that I can turn to you the next time I need a plumber!
