I recently hired this plumbing company, and unfortunately, my experience was extremely…read moredisappointing. Amanda quoted me $100/hour for labor, along with a travel fee since my home is 31 minutes from their office. She also mentioned that the plumber might bring an apprentice, but assured me there would be no additional charge for that--only to later deny this claim. If the owner (Greg?) records phone calls, I highly recommend he reviews them. On the day of the service, the lead plumber, Gary, and his apprentice, Jeff, arrived at 9:37 am and finished the work by 11:20 am--under two hours. Afterward, they spent 20 minutes preparing the bill, which totaled a staggering $814. The breakdown was confusing and did not align with the original quote. It included a $150 travel fee, $200 for Gary's labor, inflated charges for materials ($133 + $25), and a surprise $125 fee for the apprentice, directly contradicting Amanda's assurance that there would be no extra charge. Even with the unexpected apprentice fee, the total should have been about $687, including tax. I pointed out the discrepancies to Gary, especially regarding the apprentice charge and the inflated total. However, Gary refused to listen and became increasingly aggressive. When I contacted Amanda for clarification, she denied her previous statements and insisted the apprentice rate was $50/hour (which also contradicts the $125 charge on the bill). In an attempt to resolve the situation, I offered to pay $100 extra just to settle the matter, but Gary insisted he had undercharged me and claimed he should bill me for 2.5 hours instead (including his time spent preparing the bill, and rounding up!). He threatened to undo the work unless I paid on the spot. When I called Amanda again, the situation escalated, and I had to contact 911. Gary then threatened to put a lien on my property, at which point I told him I was prepared to take the matter to court. Only after this confrontation did Gary agree to settle the bill for $645--still about $100 more than what I should have paid. I suspect the issue stemmed from Amanda's rough estimate of $1,245 for the job, which may have been passed on to Gary despite our agreement on an hourly rate. It appeared as though Gary was fixated on meeting that higher estimate (I suspect he might be working on commission). As a minority, I also sensed there might have been some bias involved. Gary seemed to think the threat of legal action would pressure me into submission. (To be clear, most people in this community have been welcoming and kind, so this was an isolated experience.) A final comment.. the "head plumber" Gary had a consistently negative attitude throughout the entire job. He wore a sour expression, as though I was inconveniencing him by simply being a customer. His demeanor was unprofessional, and he appeared to fix the problems begrudgingly as I pointed them out. I have seen reviews describing him as helpful, so it is possible he was having a bad day, but that is no excuse to bring such negativity into a customer interaction.

According to Brian and many others, it's the best on the market. So, after the descaling we had low water pressure and we were still getting intermittent hot water and our unit was flashing a code 63. Code 63 means the water flow is low and a few things could be wrong. The number one issue was after descaling the line needed to be cleared from the little catch baskets. They did their part but more gunk from the descaling needed to clear the pipes. So, Brian turned the water off and pulled the little catch baskets again but only one had stuff in it and may have been the problem. But what really was the problem was our shower heads. Brian and Eric recommended we pull the pressure plug from the shower head. While Brian was here he gave great advice on codes for our Rinnai and the quality of water in our area. Our water pressure was much better but we were still getting intermittent hot water. So, following Eric, Brian and YouTunes advice and we pulled the pressure plugs from the shower heard. Now the water flows like the Snoquaimie Falls, hold smokes! But you know what, the water stays hot with no issues!!! So, if you're having this problem pull the shower head first plus and that should fix the problem. The cost for this was $0.00!

I hired All-Purpose Plumbing to clear an emergency main sewer backup at my rental property in Tacoma. I manage the property remotely, so I specifically requested documentation of the work and the condition of the line. The technician spent approximately two hours on site and charged me $1,741.01. According to the invoice, the service was to clear the main sewer drain. However, the technician ultimately documented that he was "unable to clear clog." I was told the blockage involved baby wipes and was referred for a costly excavation/repair project. Because the sewer backup remained unresolved, I immediately called another licensed plumbing company for a second opinion. They restored flow shortly afterward and then performed a sewer camera inspection. Based on that inspection, they identified root intrusion as the issue. This differed from what I had been told during the original service call. I contacted All-Purpose Plumbing's management and provided the invoices and the subsequent findings. Rather than resolving my concerns, the discussion focused on defending the original service. I was offered partial refunds, but we were unable to reach an agreement. I ultimately disputed the charge with my credit card issuer. I did not dispute the entire amount because I recognized there was value in the technician traveling to the property and attempting the work. I disputed everything above approximately $165, which I believed was a reasonable amount for the service attempt. After reviewing the documentation I submitted, including invoices and supporting evidence, my credit card issuer ruled in my favor on the disputed amount. Every homeowner can draw their own conclusions, but my experience left me with three recommendations: 1. Ask for photos or video documenting the condition of your line before authorizing expensive repairs whenever possible. 2. Get a second opinion before agreeing to major excavation work. 3. If the initial diagnosis doesn't match later findings, keep all documentation and invoices. Based on my experience, I would not use All-Purpose Plumbing again.
