My gas water heater was 14 years old and intermittently leaking from the bottom in the summer of 2016 and needed replacement. The water heater was a standard elevated setup in my garage with auxiliary components in seemingly decent condition (gas/water lines, vent pipes, expansion tank and aluminum stand). Beyond building code updates or necessary configuration changes I was not anticipating a lot of ancillary costs, and had initially researched the average retail cost of the heater itself. After getting a crazily exorbitant quote of nearly $2800 with tax from my regular heating and cooling company (who have serviced my furnace for years) I decided to seek an alternative. That's where Mike comes in. His pleasant smile and numerous positive Yelp reviews gave me immediate reassurance, and his office was able to provide a quote over email based on digital photos and a detailed description of the model and installation. Their estimate? $1660 plus tax! Nearly a grand of savings, with a detailed cost breakdown and a promise to reuse as much of the old components as possible. The prior estimate provided _no_ breakdown at all, just 2 different fixed costs for the 2 water heater options available (differing by insulation but with the same 6 year warranty) and the assumption that all the related components would be replaced (they spun that as a positive feature). It's nice to see exactly where your money is going, especially when it's towards a big ticket price. My mechanic does that -- why not my plumber? I quickly scheduled an appointment with Mike and he showed promptly on the day and time set (despite the snowfall, even). He and his assistant Cody worked quickly and efficiently to drain, remove and replace the old heater, upgrading the water lines and fittings along the way, with a new stand and expansion tank to boot (the new heater is a bit wider than the old one). They were done in 2 hours time and were polite and pleasant in every way, and happy to answer any questions or explain any work done. As promised, they reused what components they could -- avoiding any replacement of the vent piping, for example. The upgrades they performed made sense and were reasonably priced: brass water lines and fittings, stainless steel flex hose, etc. In the end the final cost was actually a bit cheaper than their estimate by about 50 bucks. After the sticker shock from the first company I had done a little research on my own and figured my brother and I could do the job ourselves for around a thousand dollars total, parts included. In the end that's about what Mike charged me, with some labor on top and the assurance that I'm getting this done correctly and up to current building safety code spec. I gladly wrote a check for the peace of mind of a quality and professional installation. Based on this experience I can heartily recommend Mike and his team for anyone that faces a similar job and for whom quality *and* price are important considerations. These shouldn't have to be mutually exclusive criteria. I know I plan to use them in the future for any plumbing related jobs that are too big or too complex to want to tackle on my own. read more

Had a toilet block up on me through a couple of days. No matter how hard I tried to unblock the drain, with tools etc I had, I could not reach the solid blockage. First of all I had the enjoyment of speaking on the phone today 1/14/26 with Whitney, also their scheduler. He was very nice, and helpful to the point he allowed your company to stand out more over the other 3-4 I had just called. I am pretty genuine and no nonsense. Service was quickly arranged for a Rep to drop by within an hour. That worked out. Had the treat of meeting Steve and his working buddy (sorry, cannot remember his name, maybe Dave, but a very nice Spanish fellow). They knew what they were doing, and quickly augered out the solid blockage. Nothing came back up, but was dislodged and on it's way down the pipe. Not cheap (I am old fashioned), nothing is these days, yet good value and excellent service. From my experience, this company is certainly work considering, probably selecting, for any pipe work needed. Thank you team! Kindly, Colin (Lynnwood 1/14/26). read more

Mike's plumbing was awesome! I have had a dripping faucet and shower head for 6 months. I'll admit that I don't know anything about fixing household problems. So, I generally get several estimates on whatever the problem is and still don't move forward bc I'm too scared I'll get ripped off or I'll choose the wrong vendor. I literally had three different plumbers come over to estimate the work to fix the problem. I chose Mike's Plumbing because: the person answering the phones was genuinely interested in the problem (asked lots of questions) and had great follow up, the folks that did the estimate were really nice and knowledgeable and the reviews on Yelp were good (but I've been duped by seemingly positive Yelp reviews before only to have the service provider to be quite poor so this was the least impactful on my choice). Anyway, Mike's Plumbing did such an amazing job fixing everything all within budget and well below the next vendor's estimate. Couldn't be more pleased. Would totally recommend them for a plumbing problem. read more

Beware of Mike's Plumbing and Drain Cleaning! I originally hired them to install my water heater 1.5 years ago. Recently, I called them back for troubleshooting when it stopped working. They charged an outrageous $310 per hour, and after an entire hour, the technician still couldn't find or resolve the issue. I was left with no answers but was still billed the full amount. When I questioned the high charge, I received no reasonable explanation or willingness to adjust the fee. I expected professionalism and expertise but got neither. If you're considering using Mike's Plumbing and Drain Cleaning, I'd strongly suggest looking elsewhere. Their high fees and lack of results make them a poor choice for anyone seeking reliable service. Frustrated, I called another plumber, who identified the problem in just 30 minutes. It's clear that Mike's Plumbing and Drain Cleaning lacks the expertise or professionalism to stand by their installations. read more

( Jake ) one of the plumbers from ( Mike's Plumbing ) did an outstanding job fixing my bathtubs clogged drain. From start to finish, his professionalism and expertise were evident.

He worked efficiently and diligently, ensuring the job was completed to the highest standard. I was impressed by his attention to detail and the care he took in his work. Moreover, Jake was friendly and approachable, making me feel comfortable asking questions. Overall, my experience with Jake was outstanding, and I highly recommend him and Mike's Plumbing for any plumbing needs. read more

Highly recommended, very pleased with results; gladly would call on this vendor again. Repairman Alex did an excellent job in quickly replacing a disposal for my tenant in Mountlake Terrace. The dishwasher needed an appliance expert, and, although that was beyond the scope of his expertise, he competently reviewed my options. Office clerk Sonoma kept me informed, reviewed my needs in detail upon intake, and provided a detailed estimate. She also had contacted me about potentially moving up the appointment at our convenience, which shows high degree of professionalism. Scheduling was very accommodating for schedules of landlord and tenant. Charges were very reasonable. read more

I never do reviews. This is my 1st. I am a new widow & learning how scary it can be when things go wrong with my house. Like my hot water tank leaking which it did recently. After getting 3 estimates, I chose Mike's Plumbing because I felt Kammy really listened & cared about my situation when I called. They didn't disappoint. There was excellent communication with the office concerning arrival times. The service technicians Alec, Hayden, & Dominic were punctual, professional, precise.....but above all kind (something in short supply these days). They may be a small company but they have a BIG heart!! I have them on speed dial for any future plumbing problems. read more

When one needs a plumber, it feels very critical! My wife was ill, her physical therapist was coming, and I needed to be present to help her. I called several plumbing firms who only seemed interested in taking advantage of my distress. I called Mike's Plumbing and they were the only one who treated my situation with compassion. Of all the plumbing firms I called, they were the only one who would give me a straight answer about what to expect to be charged (which was a very fair price) and who would be able to send me a plumber in a reasonable amount of time. The plumber they sent (Cody) was efficient and knowledgable. I would use them again in the future. read more

called to ask for an install of a dishwasher since the schedule showed open when i called at 1:pm. i heard the young man keep being coached -main point was being sure of hr $rate. after a bit i wondered if they were either bragging of rate or trying to scare me off because it was too small of a job.... i had $200 - $330 set for it. $550 - to $700 for new upstairs toilet, less for basement. maybe $2800 for outside sewer due to roots from next door. yet now i see they have a time issue. i hope the best for the young men working for them and maybe they can learn to do off clock work at $90 an hour. read more

Mike's Plumbing was recommended to us by a co-worker. Their team just completed a complete, trenchless replacement of the waterline and shut off valve to our home today. There was a small miscommunication about the job, but I called the office and they had it all straightened out in less than 15 minutes and they still finished the job ahead of schedule. Everyone we have dealt with has been professional, polite and helpful. Their rate was also significantly lower than others we were given. We are really thrilled, we feel like it was money well spent. We would definitely recommend this company. read more

Our hot water heater went out on a Sunday afternoon. We contacted Mike's Plumbing Monday morning. Ours is a complicated hot water heater, gas, direct vent in a very tight location. Steve was at our house by 10:30 am. He had to work for several hours to get the old one out and the new one in with all the code requirement (wedged in a corner next to a wall, gas piping and the clothes dryer). This was not an easy job. They came in right on the estimate they gave me over the phone. And we had hot water by dinner time. I apologize for this late review. They performed this job on April 24, 2017, read more

Mike's Plumbing is incredible!! I called expecting someone to just schedule a service visit, but instead they took the time to actually listen to my issue and help diagnose the problem right over the phone. They were patient, thorough, and clearly more interested in solving my problem than in rushing out here to collect a service fee. That kind of honesty and genuine customer care is rare these days. Who knew people like this actually still existed? Look no further for a trustworthy company. Mike's is it! read more

I accepted Mikes's invitation to call back. So, 6 week ago today, Friday evening, I left my name, phone number and a request for a callback. Six weeks later, nothing. Still waiting for that return call. In answer to the questions you want to ask: yes, I did call the correct phone number, yes, I did leave a message after listening to the correct voicemail announcement. There were no mistakes made on my end. read more

I have hired this company for a quick service, and they have performed outstanding. Great results, fresh price and I really appreciated the communication. I would highly recommend them for a quick plumbing fix and definitely for a bigger job as well. If they are very detail-oriented on the smaller jobs - then I can imagine them being extremely detailed on the bigger projects as well. Thank you guys. read more

I had a completely plugged kitchen sink drain headed into Labor Day weekend. Nicole did a great job scheduling but more importantly, following up and letting me know status as to when Mike would get here. He was efficient, did great work clearing the lines and had a creative solution to a complicated in-wall problem. Everything was cleaned up nicely when he left. I'd recommend to a friend. read more

Abbas was absolutely amazing! Took care of my unbelievably blocked kitchen sink and was super friendly and professional. They are taking care of my mom's plumbing problem this afternoon. Highly highly recommend this company! Erik in the office was awesome to work with as well-he got an appointment fast and I'm super happy with all of the service. read more

Today I had a representative from Mike's Plumbing (Abbas) come out to my condo in Edmonds. I had a problem with my bathtub fixtures and he took care of the problem in very fast order. He was very polite, very professional and did a great job! Thanks again to Mike's Plumbing and thanks for having Abbas come to my place. Vic Battson read more

It was time to replace a 13 year old 50 gallon lowboy water heater out of due diligence. Mike's provided a good quality Bradford White unit at half the price than what anyone else I contacted quoted me. Installation was on-time, professional and done right. Would highly recommend this company! read more
