It would at least drain albeit slowly and was semi-useable before he came. In addition he had an attitude after being asked about shoe covers. I called GS to ask if they would return to rectify the problem without charge. They said no. I asked the service manager to call me. He did not. This is a second rate outfit.

Last August/September I called Shaw Plumbing for a water heater estimate. The technician told me my…read moreunit was 30 years old, unsafe to keep using, and needed immediate replacement -- then quoted $5,000 for a 50-gallon tank plus labor, despite the fact that I live alone and have no need for that size. I got a second opinion today (took me a while) before agreeing to anything. My new plumber found the unit was actually 13 years old and functioning fine -- no replacement necessary. In other words, everything I was told to justify a $5,000 job was false. I'll let readers draw their own conclusions about what happened here. What I do know is: get a second opinion before you sign anything with this company, especially if you're being told something needs to be replaced "ASAP." Feels like elder abuse and / or gender discrimination to me.

I want to give a shout out to employee David Stephens, who did the most amazing job for me…read moreyesterday. From start to finish I was pleasantly surprised of the great communication, fair price, quality work and fast service I received. He left my bathroom spotless after two messy repairs and I was so impressed. I have not always had good luck with contractors or repair people. More often than not, I have ended up feeling cheated, frustrated and disappointed, But not with Shaw. I believe this is the second fantastic experience I have had with this company. What really made my day was hearing from an employee what a great place Shaw is to work and how much they love their job. Now, you don't hear that every day! That right there is how you run a successful business. I highly recommend Shaw to all my family and Friends. The owner Hank Shaw, is a honest to goodness stand up guy.

Then this weekend, it stopped working again and they want to charge us again to come out. Clearly there is an issue with the hot water heater. This was supposed to be a high end water heater, but clearly it is not . The company only gives a 1 year warranty but according to the model number it has a 6 year warranty. We ended up going and buying a new hot water heater and installing ourselves. This was a terrible experience.

Ineffective Service, Exorbitant Charge for Nothing, and Management Ignores Customers…read more I regret calling Raptor Rooter & Plumbing LLC for a serious plumbing issue in mid-November 2025. Water was backing up from a basement floor drain in my South Hill Spokane home, creating a messy and urgent situation. Technician Brandon arrived and, after I described the recurring problem in detail, tested the drain by running water. He then briefly ran a cable snake only about 2 feet into the drain and stopped. He provided no diagnosis, no explanation for the backup, and admitted he didn't have a camera scope on hand--which likely would have revealed the root cause. After roughly 45 minutes, he left without resolving anything. I was shocked to be billed $462 for this unproductive visit. Hoping for some accountability, I left a message two days later for General Manager Chris, asking him to call me about Brandon's service. It's now January 7, 2026--nearly two months later--and Chris has never bothered to return my call, showing a complete lack of integrity or concern for customer satisfaction. Fortunately, I found a reputable plumbing company in the area. Their general manager and team were responsive, thorough, and fixed the problem permanently. Raptor Rooter's work was inadequate, their follow-through appalling, and their overall integrity horrendous. Save yourself the frustration and money--I STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU CHOOSE ANYONE ELSE for work beyond attaching a garden hose.

Or maybe upgrades you think you should be able to do, but may be just a little outside of your comfort zone or skill set? If so, I suggest you call Max of Greater Spokane Handyman sooner rather than later! Max took care of a tricky dimmer switch that I thought I should be able to install, two beautiful outdoor carriage lights that had been sitting in my garage for months waiting patiently to be installed, and a new programmable thermostat ( which would have left me freezing if I had attempted, which he even programmed for me!). So, if you want a talented, personable and reasonably priced handyman I wholeheartedly recommend you give Max a call!

We contacted Max and he was able to come and help us on short notice. He was able to disconnect the old one and install the new one, which included hardwiring it as there was no outlet. The work was outstanding and completed very quickly. This is a rental home and I'm sure we would not hesitate to contact Max for any future work.

A guy came out and looked at the Toilet and the flushing problem. He said that the toilet was very…read moreold and would need to be replaced. He quoted $1,000 to install a new one. That was ridiculous, toilets seldom go "bad", it is the fill and dump valves that need to be replaced. I fixed the flapper valve assembly myself for about $12. I hate to say this but it appears that there is something going on in the plumbing repair business where they are charging extremely high prices. You can call a few of them and they will all quote the same ridiculous price for a repair.
