They got us in same day and did an excellent emergency repair, thankful to Jeff and his crew!

I've hired Alchemy Plumbing a few times at my home in Lake Oswego for plumbing repairs. 2 years ago, I hired them to install a new kitchen sink, kitchen faucet, instant hot water tap and garbage disposal. All seemed fine until we realized there's been a slow leak from two connections off the garbage disposal, which has created some water damage and mold. No big deal, right? Easy fix! Today I called to see if this was considered a warranty repair. It's been more than a year, they say, so they'd need to charge me $85 to come and diagnose the issue. Well, ok....but that new work would be warrantied a year, right? 'The technician would need to tell me that.' she said. I asked to be transfered to someone who might be able to tell me if they'd warranty this new work. I was transferred to Kenzie in dispatch. Kenzie then told me, because I've complained in the past about this $85 diagnostic fee (which is true....once, when they refused to call the charge a trip fee and told me they needed to 'diagnose' a leaking exterior hose bib. I told them then I knew the issue, it was just a crushed gasket, and it didn't need to be diagnosed further. I said then that they could charge me $85 for a trip fee, but if they were going to attempt to diagnose something that I can clearly already diagnose, I'd skip their diagnosis and they can work from mine. They refused service. So for that repair I ended up using a different plumber without a 'diagnostic fee' who charged me $45 for the trip fee and $1.10 for the new gasket). Kenzie then said because I've complained in the past about a diagnostic fee, 'they'd need to separate from me, professionally.' And hung up on me. Plenty of options for a decent plumber in this town, I'd suggest you look elsewhere. Thanks for nothing, Alchemy! read more

Alchemy Plumbing - This is what your cabinet can look like 24 months after hiring Alchemy Plumbing to install a new kitchen sink/faucet/garbage disposal. - Plumbing Near Me - Lake Oswego, Oregon

We had a clogged shower drain upstairs with a loose pipe, which created a leak in the ceiling in the downstairs bathroom. Water pooled in the ceiling. After having such a positive experience with Alchemy last time putting in our new water heater, I knew who to call. I called Alchemy, and within one day, they came out and fixed the leak and replaced the pipes. They did a fabulous job, and Josh and Sarin were very professional and polite. You could tell they cared about us and wanted our needs met, which I appreciated. We are delighted with the finished product. We even told them on the spot about a leaking faucet in the bathtub, and they also fixed it that day. The value was in line with what other businesses quoted. The quality of the work and the speed at which they came over is also worth the price, in my opinion. I believe we have found our plumbing company read more

This is the second time we've had Alchemy do plumbing work in our home. Several months ago, they installed a new toilet for us and replaced a leaking faucet in our guest bathroom. Both tasks were completed thoughtfully and quickly. I am a person who questions everything and does a fair amount of research before making a purchase or a home improvement. Chase was excellent at answering all my questions and providing helpful feedback on the choice of water heaters and installation needs. That was truly appreciated. After assessing the project and the requirements of the water heater we wanted, he provided a cost estimate that was reasonable, given the amount of work required for a proper installation. I purchased the water heater we wanted and Chase and Christian picked it up and delivered it to our home for installation. That, too, was very appreciated. We had them install the new water heater in our garage. The one we chose was a natural gas, powered-ventilated model to replace the former, similar type of water heater that had failed after 13 years. Unfortunately, the exhaust vent connection to our galvanized chimney was not permissible with this newer model. Therefore, this necessitated fairly extensive tubing to an allowable exhaust point. This took more time than the installation of the water heater itself. Chase and Christian worked past regular business hours to ensure the installation was satisfactorily completed and that we would once again have hot water. Their determination and focus were admirable. They started up the new water heater and ensured it was functioning correctly. They left the area clean and tidy. We would highly recommend Alchemy Plumbing. read more

We used Alchemy Plumbing for our bathroom sink and toilet repair needs. Rhiley provided outstanding and professional service and got us up and running in the time quoted. He was knowledgeable, efficient and kind and let us know how to save on future repair needs. We will request him when we use Alchemy going forward. Gwen F. read more

I had a water leak that needed to be diagnosed and Baxter & Christian immediately went to work and identified the issue. Baxter communicated each step along the way which I appreciated. They were both very professional and transparent with the process and the breakdown of cost. I felt so confident with them that I also requested they install a new garbage disposal and fix a leaky tub faucet which they took care of for a very reasonable price. I will definitely use Alchemy for all my future plumbing needs. Highly recommend ++A read more

Alchemy Plumbing - New garbage disposal - Plumbing Near Me - Lake Oswego, Oregon

I reached out to Alchemy with a very specific issue. I told them the issue and the type of toilet. Jasmine wouldn't give me a price or even a range of what that would cost unless I paid $85 for a pro to give me the quote. And if I say yes, they don't charge the $85! Except jasmine couldn't give me the price to replace a wax ring and reset an American Standard Cabet Pro toilet or even a range or a ballpark. Unless I pay $85. read more

Had a great experience with Alchemy. They showed up right on time--no waiting around, were super clean and respectful of the space. They removed an old gas line for my dryer (which is electric now), and the whole process was smooth and efficient. They were organized, efficient and knew exactly what needed to be done. Plus, they were really polite and easy to talk to--Shout out to Steve P. Overall, it was a solid experience, and good value! I'd definitely call them again if anything else comes up. read more

I called Alchemy when my basement started filling up with water from a clogged main drain. They came out the same day, which was such a lifesaver. They snaked the line first, and when that didn't quite do it, they came back the next day and hydro-jetted it until everything was flowing perfectly again. They also ran a camera to check the pipe (it's the original one and super corroded) and explained what I can do to help prevent future clogs. They even gave me a quote in case I ever need to replace it. Really impressed with how responsive, thorough, and honest they were -- and just super easy to work with overall. read more

Jaime the owner seems like a good guy. Couple things went awry on the first visit but he took care of things and did right by me in the end. read more

Alchemy Plumbing - Broken sink - Plumbing Near Me - Lake Oswego, Oregon

Our upstairs shower was backing up the downstairs tub and was not draining. I showed Anthony the problem and he immediately knew what the problem was and went to work. He was able to fix the lines and get everything working again better than ever in no time and cleaned up his work area. Overall very impressed with Alchemy and Anthony. Price was very reasonable, they were responsive, good communication, punctual and professional. Would recommend 10/10 read more

Alchemy Plumbing promptly replaced a broken garbage disposal. Customer service was excellent. However, the price was exorbitant ($1,054) for a 1/2 HP disposal that retails between $150 and $250 at Home Depot. Even with one hour of labor, the charge was unreasonably high in my opinion. Unfortunately, I needed the repair done quickly. read more

A water pipe for the refrigerator's ice maker broke resulting in a flood in our kitchen. I contacted Alchemy Plumbing and they were great! I was able to get an appointment right away, they were very courteous and professional. The plumber was outstanding! He listened to us, offered various solutions and did a stellar job . The price was extremely affordable and no more floods! I highly recommend this company. read more

Highly recommend this team. Excellent communication and quick work. The quality of the work was outstanding.

Received an outrageous proposed price for two minor repairs. Paid the $85 visit fee and sent him on his way. Found another plumber who completed the work perfectly the same day(!) for less than half the price. read more

Alchemy Plumbing in Lake Oswego was selected by the property management company to fix a toilet in the house; the tenants accidentally unseated the wax ring while plunging the toilet. The plumbers couldn't find the crawlspace (weird since they were in contact with property mgmt) so they removed the toilet, capped the septic pipe, and left; left the job and had no schedule to return. I had to source a completely different plumber to finish the job read more

No problems at all. They got a significant job (exploratory dig, then complete main service line replacement + pressure regulator) done within two days start to finish, even though that depended on secondary groups (the utility locator service, plus a tunnel boring service). All nice folks. Did not track dirt in the house. Checked all the faucets. The work looks clean, and best of all, now we have running water again. (edit, technically not quite finished yet as a city inspector has to check it, but they explained that also). read more

I recently had Alchemy Plumbing to some work for me and I am very pleased. From the initial phone call to completion of the job (on time by the way) everything was handled professionally and promptly. I would highly recomend them ! read more

Josh from Alchemy hasn't even left my house yet and I feel motivated to already leave a glowing review. Prompt, fairly-priced, respectful, happy to explain process/costs/parts. Just easy to work with, high-integrity folks at this operation. It's tough to find service providers who hit all the marks and these guys really do. Would give a very strong recommendation to anyone looking for a plumbing service who is going make fixing their problem quick, stress-free, and easy. read more

We are only half done with the project but we've been very happy so far. I called for last minute help and was accommodated.

I have used Alchemy before, for a burst water pipe, a big job. Today I had a smaller, non-urgent job, but Alchemy treated it with equal importance. They found time same-day and got my shower working again. I really appreciate Alchemy's reliability and clear communication. read more

These guys are a class act! Ethical, honest and true to their word. We had a challenging plumbing issue and they did not give up on us and when things didn't go well, they made it right. This level of customer service and ethics is extremely rare - we really appreciate it. read more

Unqualified to do the basic job. Arrived late, without any notice. Poor demeanor during the time spent. Would not recommend. Your not clever and insulting my name! Try being a less prejudice, assuming my name is weed! Your assumptions prove your business practices are unprofessional and do not deserve more than 1-star. I still would not recommend your services to anyone! read more

Great service- efficient and professional. We needed a toilet replaced asap, and they were very helpful and responsive. Installation went perfectly. :) read more

The team did a great job fixing the leak I had and I'm so thankful they were able to get it fixed quickly, fall rain brings cooler nights, thankful no cold showers after the speedy repair. The price was in line with other companies they just had a quicker turn around time and I'm thankful they were able to save me. Definitely will be recommending them to friends in the future. The place was cleaned up as well. read more

Alchemy Plumbing was awesome! They were able to come out quickly to address specific repairs for 3 multi family properties. They were quick, efficient and didn't try to upsell. They just got the job done! I would recommend and use them again in a heartbeat! read more

Alchemy came to give a bid on a job. They charge $85 for this. At the time I gave them half down on the project, $1500. This was a mistake. I ended up going with another company and called to get a refund. They wanted to charge me $185 because the techs spent more time on site. After I protested they agreed to refund the deposit minus the original $85 they said they would charge. The lesson is, don't put down money until you have all the other bids. I think Alchemy was fair in the end. read more

Jaime was prompt and professional. His company equipment is new and well maintained. He provided an estimate for the job before starting. I'm hoping his company continues to grow as he is very capable. read more

AVOID - needed a toilet flange replaced (I have the toilet, wax ring, etc... just needed a replacement flange, should have been at most a 2-3 hour job). They wouldn't give a quote over the phone, had to send someone to look at the job. Today the tech quoted around $1,450. I thought I was hiring a small, reputable company, and expected the quote to be a bit over Google value to replace a flange ($145-$165) given labor - but definitely not $1,450 for a simple replacement of a plastic flange. Look elsewhere, this is price gouging. read more

Drew and Steven were great. They were able to replace my beeping sump pump the same day they came to look at it. They were very professional and provided exceptional service. The office staff are also great and easy to talk to. They made sure I can easily reach out to them if I need more assistance. Really wonderful experience with Alchemy. I'm so glad I found them. read more

Reviews said reasonable pricing, so I went ahead and booked an appointment for the nominal $85 fee. My repairs required replacing a shower valve cartridge, and installing a kitchen faucet. I had bought my own faucet. They were just going to install it. Quote given was for 1 1/2 hours PER task. $651.91 to install the faucet. $638.15 to replace the cartridge. Seriously. I don't understand contractors wanting to be paid the level of neurosurgeons. I'll be getting a handyman. These are not complex repairs. I would not recommend this business. read more

Service was done was very happy with how everything turned out. Keep up the great my sink.

Jordy was amazing: honest and straight forward and found the problem within minutes and saved me money as our water heater didn't need replacing after all: Chase and Jordy finished the job within a reasonable time frame, impressive! Would def' recommend Alchemy Pumbling Service: Water heater repair read more

The best! Most honorable plumbers. This time they re-piped and did a life changing job that improved our water pressure greatly. When there was an issue with the estimate they had the utmost integrity. Our home is improved with every job they do for us. They are in a complete different league than most plumbers read more

Fast, clean , efficient and friendly -- Alchemy's dispatcher, Kevin and technician, Anthony were the best advertisements for Alchemy Plumbing. read more

A pipe burst under our house overnight and we were in total panic. Got the water off but needed help ASAP. Jordy and his team were here by 11:30 am and went right to work. Just an hour later, all was fixed, and they were even able to help us avert another break that was likely to cause the same issue in just a matter of time. Very well priced, no fuss, explained what was happening and super easy to work with. Can't thank them enough! read more
