I had an AAV leak under my sink, and while Joe was out of town (on vacation!), he graciously responded to my e-mails in a timely manner to help diagnose the issue and offer solutions (including which products to buy at the hardware store) to my problem (clogged drain, but with the complication that it's attached to a garbage disposal). With some helpful advice (and what NOT to use), I was able to resolve the clogged drain on my own. HOWEVER, if I ever have any more urgent issues that are unresolved -- I know who I'm calling next time. Thanks, Joe, for the helpful advice, and for graciously providing me assistance when you were out of town. read more

Joe has been our plumber since 2017, he was recommended by our realtor, and his hourly rate is lower than anyone else I've called. He's replaced a water heater, fixed a leaky sink and bathtub, replaced outdoor facets, helped renovate a bathroom including removing random pipes that were sticking out of the wall. Besides just fixing stuff, I appreciate that he takes the time to explain the problem, and tell me how I could fix it myself next time. Highly recommended! read more

Joe The Plumber - Plumbing Near Me

Joe is the best plumber I've *ever* hired. He showed up when he said he would, solved all my problems, charged what he said he would and was out the door in 30 minutes, all without using the $230 in parts I thought I needed to have replaced! He even explained what the actual problems were and answered all my pesky questions. Thanks, Joe! You're the best! - AJ read more

Joe has always been extremely helpful. I've tried to hire Joe twice but since they ended up being simple items both times his advice was enough to resolve the issue. I am just waiting for the time I have a job Joe can help me with, when I think pluming I think of Joe. read more

Okay; "all is forgiven" and I'm bumping Joe up to "5-stars" for my recent job. I was stressed out about finding the correct push button and rod assembly to my dual flush toilet that Joe had advised me to DIY. The descriptions and measurements at the online plumbing supply places weren't really that understandable and I had no confidence that I was buying the correct item. But, I took a leap of faith - and it turned out great! It took about a week for the parts to arrive, but I was able to DIY both the dual-flush toilet and the tub spout with diverter. So, Joe's fee turned out to be even more reasonable for fixing my clogged bathroom sink because it turned out to include a "consultation fee" advising what I could do on my own (saving myself a couple hundred bucks!) Thanks for being generous with information that saved me money, Joe and for boosting my confidence as a Do It Yourselfer. read more

Joe helped me with a shower/tub cartridge and handle issue. He was responsive and fair. He assessed my issue and provided some options, helping me to find what was best for my situation. This was my first time working with Joe, and I'll be calling him again when I need plumbing services in the future! read more

Joe did a great job fixing a our basement toilet that had been suffering years of water damage from previous owners. Fixed it with no fuss, on time, and at a very reasonable rate. Appreciated that he also called out other plumbing watch outs in the house - we'll be calling him for any future needs! read more

I messaged Joe The Plumber regarding a plumbing issue. He responded quickly via e-mail of what he thought the issue was even though he said that he wasn't working today because he had the flu. No other company would go out of their way and respond like Joe did. I will definitely call Joe if I have any plumbing needs in the future. read more

Joe has helped us several times over the years, most recently when our toilet was reinstalled incorrectly by our flooring people, resulting in a bunch of water in the floor and lower level wall. He diagnosed the problem, found a hole in our 90 year old lead pipes, replaced that section of pipe, and installed a new toilet. He showed us everything he was doing and why he was doing it, He is fantastic - honest, professional, a great plumber and an all around decent human. read more

This is the 2nd time I had Joe out to my house, this time to repair a finicky exterior faucet. Joe was able to come out the next day after I e-mailed him, and he finished the job very quickly and professionally. For the price, I could not be happier and I am relieve to finally have this annoying faucet fixed! Thanks Joe! read more

Joe is helpful, honest and efficient. A friend recommended him after we had a plumbing emergency in which our shower leaked into the floor below. He was super quick to respond over email, easy to schedule when we needed him and quick to accurately diagnose the cause of the problem. While his hourly rate took me aback at first, he worked quickly and it was worth every penny. He didn't try to upsell us on some grand solution that we didn't need like the big companies would. We wouldn't hesitate to call him next time, though I hope we never actually need his services again - ha! read more

Had a backed up drain line. Joe was responsive and got in touch. Friendly, good communication, worked quickly and solved my issue right away. Reasonable rates. Highly recommend. read more

Joe is excellent. Arrived on time, solved several tricky problems, had an eye for detail and price was reasonable. He completed our kitchen remodel sink install with faucet, disposer, dishwasher, air switch, drain, and somewhat complicated water filtration. He was very knowledgeable, read all the manuals, and installed quickly and efficiently. Highly recommend! read more

Joe was very nice, professional, and worked patiently to diagnose a problem that turned out not to be a plumbing one after all. I am grateful he took it slow rather than start opening walls to identify the source of the leak. My only complaint is that my house smelled of cigarette smoke for a while after Joe left. Had to open windows and spray air fresheners for the rest of the afternoon. read more

I've had Joe out a couple times, once a year ago to replace a waterheater, and just today to replace a kitchen faucet. Joe is kind and patient and cheerfully answers all my questions no matter how silly they sound. This faucet replacement today was a tricky one, the wall connections were completely rusted and I was worried I would need to have the pipe replaced, which would have been a nightmare to fix. In no time at all Joe found a solution and had my new faucet installed and working perfectly. Good-bye old broken, leaky, falling apart faucet, and hello new, happy and glimmering faucet! I am beyond relieved. Really appreciate Joe and highly recommend! read more

I highly recommend Joe! I emailed him my plumbing issues and some photos, and he arrived on time and resolved them all quickly. My shower has a single handle, and it no longer mixed hot/cold so it was either screaming hot or freezing. He came with the correct replacement part, showed me how it worked and the faulty valve he removed. He also fixed my toilet that would not refill after a flush, and my kitchen sink faucet. Friendly, easy to do business with, knowledgeable and professional, I will definitely be contacting Joe for any future plumbing needs! 100%! read more

Joe is amazing. I've worked with many plumbers over the years, both big and small companies, and Joe is the absolute best. From the initial appointment which was easy to schedule, to Joe's arrival- he was right on time. I had several items on the "to-do" list (valves, faucets, leaks). Joe was happy to repair, not "sell" and create unnecessary work and expense. Joe was friendly, fast, and willing to explain things when I'd ask. 100% trust with Joe. I highly recommend Joe and will send all my clients and friends to him as well. Thank you Joe! read more

Recently I had some plumbing issues and contacted Joe the Plumber based on Yelp reviews. Joe wasn't able to take on my job but he was super helpful anyways! He provided a ton of information as to how I should troubleshoot, what parts I can purchase at Home Depot to try and resolve my issue and then provided the city maps showing my exact sewer line location. I wouldn't hesitate to contact Joe if I ever need some help in the future. Thanks Joe! read more

On two separate instances, I called Joe asking him concerning his services for my bathtub and sink. Both of which Joe was so helpful and honest in his assessment, which saved me both time and $$$. A few months ago, my bathtub started getting a bubbly surface and Joe had me email a photo of my bathtub. After a discussion with Joe on the phone, he determined it was would involve his services, saving me time and money. Now just a few days ago, I called Joe about a problem with my airgap in my kitchen sink. Joe was able to diagnose the problem over the phone and instructed me on how the issue could be easily resolved on my own. For future plumbing problems that will require a professional, I can say without hesitation that I will be calling Joe, because he is so knowledgeable, professional, and honest. read more

I left him several voicemails and, when I didn't hear back from him within 24 hours, I tried the "contact me" on the website, I have heard good things about Joe but now I am starting to wonder... if he really wants my business.... I work in sales and this is not how you handle customers... ****** update***** Well Joe emailed me after I wrote the 1st review and stated that he could be there on friday between 12-2... OK cool I took the day off work so I could be at home that day... then at 5:15 AM I get am email from him stated that he could not make it and could come the following week. DUDE THIS IS NOT HOW YOU DO BUSINESS!!! I would have like to write a good review but, I have nothing to work with here, after I read all the good reviews I was like yeah this guy seems like a good choice to do the work I need done.... the worst part is, is that I see his truck 2 blocks from my house all the time... he could walk to my house to do the work... all not good... read more

We just purchased a house in QA with various small plumbing repairs. We were very satisfied with the degree of customer service and the quality of the repairs. Joe's rates were very fair and he worked quickly and expertly to minimize our expense. AMAZING. He even "found" the main water shut off instantly-- after the home inspector (who apparently is a big time contractor in the area) couldn't "find it". LOL! Will use again for all of our plumbing repairs! PS--- We had a few items on the home inspection report that we thought needed repair. After evaluation and discussion with us, it was determined the work didnt need to be done. Such integrity and honesty! A rare find these days! :) read more

I've used Joe the Plumber on a couple of occasions for my condo in Queen Anne. The first time, he was quite friendly and helpful and I thought he charged a reasonable fee to fix my kitchen faucet that was leaking. I recommended him to my tenants when we had a noisy/creaky bathroom faucet that needed to be repaired. However, this second time, he not only did a cursory check of my bathroom hardware, but rounded up his time. According to my tenant, he was there from 4:52 to 5:12 (20 mins approx) and charged us for half an hour plus tax. For turning on a faucet and a visual inspection, we were charged $98.64. I will upload a photo of the bill. read more

Joe The Plumber - Copy of invoice. $98 for cursory inspection (turning on faucet and visual inspection) that lasted no more than 20 mins. - Plumbing Near Me

I looked up the reviews of Joe the Plumber and was a bit hesitant to use him because there were only 3 on Yelp. I'm glad I ended up calling him. I have a rental (3-story townhome) in the North Seattle area and the master shower drain was getting slow. I called Joe up and he was responsive, explained his rate system (a fixed rate for first 15 mins and a smaller rate for every 15 mins thereafter), gave me an estimate that proved accurate and cheaper than his worst case scenario and he was easy to deal with. He has relatively limited hours because I think he drives from the Seatac area but I'd rather go with someone who does good work and charges a fair price than someone who's always available but overcharges and doesn't do a good job. He gave my tenants a time window between 10-12 and showed up at 1045. Much better than the cable installers that's for sure. I'm not claiming to have done tons of research on the matter but his rates seem very reasonable. I'd call him again. read more

Joe the Plumber is my hero today. I called him about a leaking bathtub faucet that I'd tried (and repeatedly failed) to fix. After a brief description of the problem and my bumbling attempts to repair it, he asked me to send him a photo of the broken stem valve. I did so...and he immediately called me back, explained what was broken and how to fix it. Myself. For less than $2. So. Thank you, Joe, for being helpful, encouraging and kind! When the inevitable happens and I find myself in need of plumbing help, Joe will definitely be the first person that I call (and the first person I will recommend to my friends, as well). read more

My dear fellow Yelpers, I don't bestow Sainthood often, but hereforth, I shall refer to Joe (his real name BTW) as St. Joe. If I could give him 10 stars, I most certainly would. I've had some really negative experiences with several local firms, the worst of which rhymes with "freakin." As such, I'd let a number of items go--you know the stuff: garbage disposal, faucets, toilet repair (OK, I have several--no need to worry here). And, holiday entertaining being what it is, I really needed to find a good plumber. I actually called JTP based on his Yelp reviews and I am a complete convert. He: 1) arrived on time; 2) was a very amiable sort; 3) is reasonably priced; 4) gave honest feedback on the crappy faucet I had purchased from Home Depot; and 5) came back in a very timely manner to install the better faucet I had ordered (with his help) from Amazon. I simply can't recommend him enough and have gone so far as to recommend him to my condo management company and the other tenants in my building. Good guy, good work, good prices. Wadelsedoyawant? read more

"Joe" replied to my email through his website, we discussed the project and my expectations, he was willing to come out and do the work. While on site troubleshooting he also identified and implemented solution to a drainage problem that had troubled me for 20 years, a problem that a couple other plumbers on other occasions had looked at, fumbled around with, and failed to solve. I recommend Joe every chance I get. (Rarely do places earn a 5-star review from me. But just to be clear, this was easily a 4.5 solution and service.) read more

We will never hire another plumber! Joe is a dream to work with--professional, friendly, quality-conscious, punctual, and clearly dedicated to doing top-notch work. He's also great at explaining plumbing issues to non-plumbing-savvy people. Joe has done a variety of projects for us, and we've been 100% happy with the results. I can't recommend Joe highly enough! read more

We were in a bind last week and Joe saved the day!!! We needed a plumber to come to our Queen Anne home as Toilet was backed up. He came over within an hour of the call. He was courteous friendly and super professional. He not only solved the problem immediately he did not over charge us. He was better then fair. We call plumbers usually once or twice a year and no one has ever been as efficient and as nice as he was. Very grateful for his service and highly recommend him! read more

My wife and I just bought a house in Seattle. Of course, there were some small things that weren't perfect, like our valves for the washer had slow leaks coming from them. The valves were set deep into the wall, limited access. I brought a photo to ACE and asked how they thought I could get to them to try to fix the leak - they said replace the valves. I tried contacting a handyman service first - they never responded to my email inquiry. Joe called right away, asked for photos, then explained how to fix the problem over the phone. I'm sure he could have come out, charged me an hours rate to do it, then been on his way. It was nice - so I know if I ever have any future plumbing requirements I'll go with Joe. I'm over by Ballard, so Joe will service more than just West Seattle, figured that might be helpful. read more

We definitely recommend Joe. We had him out to work on 2 toilets that kept running and one dripping faucet. His prices were way below quotes from the mega plumbers like Fox. He was able to come the day after we called and is a nice, respectable guy. There was a bit of a problem with the faucet and the toilets because we have an older house. He replaced the faucet cartridge but it still didnt work as well as we or he would have liked. He went off to his next job and lo and behold he showed up at our door that evening. He had called the manufacturer and found out the secret step to fix our problem. He came in and fixed it and then wanted to check our toilets again. He was there for about an extra hour and didn't charge us at all. I will recommend Joe to anyone I know who needs a plumber and will use him for all plumbing needs in our future. read more

What a nice man. He arrived early (after confirming it was OK with me first) and was a delight. He asked if he should remove his shoes (thoughtful!) Showed him my very old 1930's sink. He repaired my leak & improved the handles & washers. Now I'm not pouring money down the drain. I'll easily recoup the very reasonable charges for the repairs & time. He didn't even charge a travel fee or anything like that. I'll be calling Joe the Plumber next time I need help for sure. Thanks Joe for being a stand up guy! read more

I would highly recommend joe. One of our pipes started leaking and after my husband tried fixing it He called joe. He came out and saw what the problem was and said it was a simple fix. We had a 2 month old baby at the time and he said he would save us some $$$ and told my husband how to fix it. My husband was able to fix it himself. Joe said to call him if he had any problems and he would come over. He is a very nice guy, honest and not out to "get" anyone. I will use him in the future for all my plumbing needs! read more

Joe was great! Love that my sink is running smooth and he was very friendly. My husband and I had questions. He was happy to answer them and give us advice to save us aggravation in the future. He was very thorough and his pricing was fair. Definitely worth the call! read more

Joe was great! He was very quick to set up an appointment with us, arrived right on time, and fixed the low water pressure in our kitchen very quickly. His price was fair and he also gave us some good maintenance tips for our older home. Will definitely call Joe again next time we need a plumber! read more

Loved Joe the plumber! Fair, honest and reasonable. Fixed a leak in my shower drain and cost was minimal. Had me cut the drywall-saving money. Loved him will always use him! read more

We recently hired Joe to fix a leaking bathtub drain in our old house in Fremont. He was a really good listener and good at communicating problems and dedicated to finding the solution. He seemed very concerned about limiting the cost of the repair and not wasting time and was happy to add a few odds-and-ends repair projects (helping with grout on our tub that had mildewed and partially fallen off). He was also happy to demonstrate techniques so we could do future repairs ourselves. Price was very reasonable! read more

Best of the Best! We have had multiple plumbing experiences with a house that's 70 yrs old. We got Joe's name from a neighbor who highly recommended him. Joe got here early, spent time to make a correct diagnosis and fixed our tub leak. It was a gasket around the overflow drain. Fixed that and other problems and was very congenial and told us that we didn't need the work that other plumbers had suggested. read more

Joe is very responsive to emails. He had to reschedule my service and kept me updated while he was gone. He fixed a leaky kitchen faucet. The only bummer is that the diverter doesn't work right. I would like it if he could fix that for free if I get the part. Spending $80 for a five minute job would drive me crazy. He spent two hours fixing my faucet. With parts it came to $460 so he is not inexpensive. All in all, he did a good job. read more

Joe's so good, he didn't need to come to the house. I made the initial call thinking I needed a plumber to either get under the house and investigate or repipe the entire home but he called me back, discussed my situation and talked me through back flushing the system. And it worked! So, as a reviewer, I can't directly speak to his work or prices but being willing to talk it out and troubleshoot is certainly an appreciated sign of a professional. So, when i do need to call a plumber again, I won't hesitate to call Joe. And shout out to Joe's Plumbing Co (Aeros in Ballard?) for recommending Joe the Plumber in the first place. read more

Joe was here 45 minutes but I was charged $220. He said he added time for doing the paperwork, which is typically a part of owning a small business and not included in an hourly rate. Again he was here for only 45 minutes. He would not negotiate this disagreement. He also wears a very strong cologne so if you have any chemical sensitivities, he is not your guy read more
