I've used Butterfield Plumbing on two occasions. The first was an emergency repair leak. Paul came…read moreout, identified the problem, opened the wall-up and made the repair. He was a nice guy and I enjoyed talking to him. It was expensive for 1-2 hours of work but that's to be expected for emergency repairs. Paul gave us a rough quote to add a bathroom in our basement and update plumbing in the house (it's an old house). I liked Paul enough that we only got one formal quote (from Butterfield) when the time came to add a bathroom in our basement and update plumbing. The job was quoted and expected to take 4 days and start the following day. Unfortunately, no one came for 3-days and the job ended up taking over 4 weeks to complete rough in. Before finishing the rough in and passing inspection, the owner Herb, began requesting payment. I said I wouldn't pay until they passed inspection and he suggested he could file a lien against my home despite the fact that the work wasn't complete, not to mention the terms on the contract were net-30 days payment. I stood my ground and was glad I did because they didn't pass the first inspection. They corrected the identified errors and passed inspection a couple days later. I paid them in full that day. Overall, Herb was unprofessional, difficult to get a hold of, and slow to get the work done. Other subcontractors we had doing work at the same informed us the plumbers were rarely on-site, left throughout the day, and ultimately Butterfield set our remodel back substantially. The experience was poor enough that we secured a different plumber to do the final finish work.

I lucked out is about all I can say. After being away from the Seattle homestead for many a moon,…read moreI planned to take a shower there yesterday morning. I held my hand in the water to see when it would be warm enough for me to jump in. Well, I waited and waited but it never got warm. I'm thinking, not good. A quick inspection of the water heater did not reveal any leaks. However the pilot light was out. I knew there was gas flowing because my furnace was on, so I figured the hot water heater had gone to meet its maker. So what do I do? Of course, I looked up "hot water heater" on Yelp. Up pops Butterfield Plumbing with a sturdy 4.5 average score over several dozen reviews. That's pretty convincing, so I called Butterfield at 10:00am and a gal on the other end of the phone gave me a noontime appointment for the tech to come out. However, around 10:30, the tech called to say he was in the area and wanted to know if he could come at that time. Of course, I said yes! A fresh-faced and friendly young man soon appeared at my front door. He was able to quickly diagnose that it was just the "thermo-couple" that had to be replaced, not the entire water heater. Hallelujah! Within minutes, my hot water heater was once again up and running. I especially liked that the tech took pains to show me the components inside the water heater and to patiently and carefully explain the diagnosis/repair/payment process. Like I said, I feel really lucky, my hot water heater was fixed within 1.5 hours of placing the initial call (and Butterfield didn't attempt to persuade me to go ahead with the more expensive option of replacing the entire heater). Oh, and I really liked that the tech had shoe protectors that he was faithful about taking on and off as he entered/exited the house. As a note: Butterfield may have payment plans available, but otherwise, they do expect cash or a check upon completion of work. In any event, I highly recommend Butterfield!

Emergency plumber taking advantage of you in a dire situation. Won't give an hourly rate over phone…read moresays tech will quote you when they get there. After waiting 24 hours for tech to arrive, and water has been shut off during that time to prevent flooding in my basement, he quotes me $600. I can refuse and continue with no water for another 24 hours trying to find a reasonable plumber, but of course we need the water now; and they know that. So I paid over $600 for a plumber for less than an hour of work. This is a scam, don't use ALLY.

I found Sam in the Chinook Book, and was excited to get a discount to fix my leaking toilets. I…read moreread the other Yelp reviews about his many problems, but I thought, a leaky toilet is a relatively small job, (fixing a leaking toilet is like Plumbing 101 right?). Sam seems so friendly at first--and he convinced me he knew what he was doing. But, $350 later, my toilets were not fixed at all. Sam agreed to come over to re-fix and actually did stop by again to state that he knew what he needed to do, and that he would order more parts and fix the toilets. But, since then, I have not been able to reach him. I have called and emailed him at least once a day for a month. I even used different phone numbers--but he did not answer his phone or emails--ever. It is also important to know that Sam is not verified by the state to do plumbing work. Like TM said, this can be verified by going to the state website (https://secure.lni.wa.gov/verify/) and typing in "Green T." I have also posted a screenshot from the website.

He got the water heater started, but we decided to replace it with a tankless one because who knows the next time it would die. He came back out a few days later and put in a tankless water heater that has worked out great! Worked out perfect --- they got our old one limping along long enough to replace it, so we were only out of hot water for less than a day. Super nice, straightforward, competitive pricing, informative, etc., definitely recommend working with them.

When I was calling around I could not believe the number of places that charge just to come out and diagnose the issue. That alone bothers me.

Totally understand they are running a business but it's nice to work with folks who focus on doing quality work as opposed to getting dem dollas.

Although from now on I am just going straight to DrainPro It's been several months since using Raman and we have had no further problems. Also tip - don't forget to check the Yelp deal with DrainPro. I trust him and DrainPro's hundreds of great reviews. You don't get so many great reviews by not being great!

I called this company due the reviews. they came promptly and proceeded to pump my septic tank, which I admit was overdue. when that didn't seem to fix the problem they Hydro jetted the main drain. Having told me on the phone that theyWould jet the drainfield I was surprised that he decided to leave the tank excavated with the lid off to supposedly save me money when I had to call them back because my system was failing. Being a senior citizen and a widow I felt I was being treated this way because I wouldn't know any different. I consulted some friends that have had a lot of issues with their Septic system. And they were shocked to hear they left it excavated and with all the rain. It was first of February. They advised me to call and have them come back and jet the drainfieldand then come then cover the system back up. It had been left open for approximately 2 1/2 weeks and surprise surprise after the drainfield was jetted the system was working fine, so now five months later it's running like a top and I'm surprised to see that I get a letter from the Pierce County health department that I was turned in for a violation reason Septic failure. The guy who told me all the stuff about it failing videoed it before it was jetted when it wasn't quite up to par. And of course he did not come with the guys He sent to do the job so he did not observe the fact that it was running fine. There's so many five star views on this company. I'm sorry to have to say this these things, but I am in the middle of trying to prove that I don't need $30,000 septic system at this time. I'm sure drain beast isn't gonna help me pay for it! very unethical considering I should've been notified in advance not get the letter five months later. From the Pierce County health department I believe this is the drain beast that's from the Puyallup area. It was Harmon I talked to on the phone. If they by chance tend to make this right, I will update this review.

These guys know their stuff, and they won't find a bunch of 'extras' to tag on. I EXPECTED extras. He KNEW I expected more to be wrong...and he could have easily hit me with more charges. I wouldn't have known. But, he didn't. The job came in at less than expected. That NEVER happens anymore (well, apparently, it does). And, they were just the NICEST guys! I don't think you can go wrong in hiring DUS. They're who I'll use...and the ONLY company I'll use in the future. I don't see them changing. Good people is simply who they are.
