Once again, Scottco Plumbing came to our rescue. We live in an older home with 80-year-old pipes. When our bathroom sink was running slow, we were hesitant to have it augured out as we were afraid the pipe would be damaged. That is what happened when another company tried to clear the bathtub drain. We ended up with a hole in the pipe and had to have it replaced. Having had great success with other jobs that Scottco did for us, we decided to have him work on the sink drain and thankfully he was able to clear the drain without any damage to the pipe. In less than 30 minutes the drain was back to draining quickly. We have the utmost trust in Scottco's services. Scott is fairly priced, dependable, does great work and is an all-around nice guy. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. read more

This review is from both my mom and I. We have both used Scottco and his crew multiple times for any and all of our plumbing needs. He is 100% THE BEST there is! He and his crew are easy to work with, flexible, very fair priced, do excellent, quality work, and are very kind. My mom and I both recommend Scottco to anyone looking for a plumber in the Tacoma area! read more

Our water heater failed and he delayed other small jobs to make certain we would have hot water today! He is honest, explains things well and doesn't try to upsell or make things more expensive. Reliable and reasonably priced. We will call him again! read more

Shout out to Scottco Plumbing! Our water heater was way overdue for replacement. We knew we needed replacement soon and I got a quote from them. Unfortunately the expansion tank blew before I had the replacement scheduled. When we explained our (emergent) situation they came over to assess and did the replacement the same day! Very professional and were very reasonably priced considering the short notice. I absolutely recommend Scottco and I am so glad to have a reliable plumber. Anyone know an electrician they feel the same about? read more

I had a major water leak and ScottCo came to my rescue, diagnosing and taking care of my problem quickly while explaining everything they did as they fixed it. They even arranged for a remediation company to come free of charge to inspect the leak area in my crawl space after the repair to make sure there was no water damage. I trust ScottCo, I have used them several times and I appreciate their responsiveness, quality, and fair pricing. ScottCo is my go-to company for all things related to my plumbing. read more

Scott was amazing. At 11 pm our basement toilet and shower started overflowing with sewage. We sent Scott an email, and he responded the next morning (We purposefully didn't call for something emergent). 30 minutes later he was at our house helping us out. He found a buried, uncapped outdoor sewer access point that had been missed by MULTIPLE sewer inspectors, and saved us a bunch of money. The prognosis still wasn't good, but he was fast, thorough, and very fairly priced (without any upsell). His company is pretty booked for the repair for we need, but he recommended other local companies and told us about some city programs that could help. We chatted with him for a bit and he clearly cares about helping people out in the neighborhood and not taking advantage of anyone. We will definitely use him again. read more

My toilet and shower backed up in the house I just bought, and I started googling different plumbing companies and looking at rates and ratings at 10pm. I stumbled on an older Reddit forum about plumbers in Tacoma and in the end, the person who asked about plumbers went with ScottCo and couldn't recommend them enough. So I called early the next morning about 6:30-7am and Scott, the owner answered right away. His rate of $500 for a clogged pipe under the house seemed reasonable and he was at the house within 2 hours. He didn't charge extra when my toilet needed to be taken apart, he simply pulled new parts out of his van and replaced the bits, put it back together and went under the house and took out the clog with his high pressure water system. He didn't try to charge extra or upsell me in anyway. He was in and out in less than 30 minutes. Probably the best experience with a plumber ever. read more

The plumbing in my home backed up when I did laundry the night before. Scottco Plumbing sent Dean and Victor to help get my drains flowing the next day. They were incredibly thorough and made sure the pipes were clean in all directions and working properly. They camera scoped my lines so I was able to see the before and after of their work. The price I was quoted was fair and I appreciated there was no pressure to fix unnecessary issues or spend more money once they began work. I will most definitely call Scottco should I have any future plumbing needs and I'm grateful I called them!! read more

Came highly recommend! Multiple calls! No returns! A total lack of professionalism right out of the gate! read more

I will never use another plumber, as long as Scott is saving the day in Tacoma. We've used Scott twice -- once to troubleshoot a clogged drain and most recently to replace a filing water heater. Both times Scott showed up within an hour or so, discovered the problem, gave me a quote, and returned the following day to fix the issue. It is clear that Scott cares deeply about the quality of work he does and prides himself in doing so expediently and inexpensively. I've never once felt like I was being taken advantage of or upsold. He is always cautious about the door, knowing I have indoor cats. He's never made me feel uncomfortable. Scott shoots straight and his work is without flaw. Can't recommend him highly enough. read more

We had Scott come out on a Saturday afternoon to clear a severely plugged shower drain. I tried several of the usual things but it was too plugged. Scott came out on short notice and tried to clear it with a small drain snake but it was to clogged. He brought in his heavy duty snake and after a lot of work he got the clog free. This is the 4th time we've had Scott out for small jobs. He has always been prompt, fair priced and does a great job. read more

I made the mistake of calling Roto Rooter to fix the leak under my sink. Nice man shows up and wants to charge me 950 dollars for the ten minute job. I told him that sounded a tad excessive. For a second opinion, I called Scott of Scottco who came right away and did the job for 150.00. Conclusion: don't call Roto Rooter. Call Scottco instead. Nice people, good work. read more

I've been in the Apt Rental business for 20 years and found Scottco Plumbing to be the best in Tacoma, For Prices as well as workmanship, Late night on a Saturday as well Highly Recommend for all your Plumbing needs. Islander Apartments Tacoma, WA read more

Scott did a second job for us and finished in one day and on budget. He is a true professional and great to deal with We have some other work that he is going to do for us later this year. I highly recommend him. Jeff C read more

Scottco was called to come check out the work of another plumber that I just couldn't trust anymore. He showed up within 5 minutes of my call and troubleshooted with my husband to get the water flowing in our bathroom. The other company wanted to charge an additional $900 to "maybe" fix the problem in our old home. Our water pressure is better than it was before the shotty work of the original plumber. He didn't even charge us. I'm beyond grateful for his responsiveness and professionalism. We will be using Scottco to re-pipe our 100 year old house to get rid of galvanized steel plumbing. I'll never call another plumber! read more

Came out to bid one of my job. Ask me what other company"s bid was. Told Scott what the price was. He got extremely offended refuse to give me a bid and took off in his van lol. Makes me wonder what he pays for those good reviews and how many of them are real read more

Called them late on a Sunday evening and they were at my house in an hour. They quickly were able to diagnose my problem and used a jet to clear the blockage. Very happy will definitely be my first call if I have any further problems. read more

Called this company to follow up on my employee's (my manager, to be specific) previous call to them, asking to get out to address a problem we have been having with our tankless water heater and a drain clog. I called because my manager wasn't given certainty as to WHEN he would be coming out and to emphasize the emergency nature of our restaurant's situation and the urgent need to get somebody out ASAP. I didn't even get to complete my explanation as to who I was. He interrupted when I stated the name of our business and he said, "Your gal already called and I told her that I would maybe try to come out sometime today or tomorrow. Okay? Thanks." And, unbelievably, he then simply hung up on me. Now, reading other reviews from people who have had similar experiences, I see that hanging up on people is pretty much the "norm" for Scottco. We were contacting Scottco because we had their sticker on our unit (which is being removed today). I immediately got on the phone with someone else and got on their schedule. Here's what I then texted to the person who hung up on me (who I can only assume is the owner of the company): "Hi. This is ***, the general manager at *********, the guy you hung up on 20 minutes ago. We are now on the schedule of one of your competitors. They are coming at a definite time, not sometime today or tomorrow." I told FlowHawks that if something opened up prior to the scheduled time, please come on out, and they did. They came two hours early, much to our extreme appreciation. By the way, I got no response at all from Scottco following my text to inform him we found somebody else willing to actually schedule their services. Scottco: don't promote your business as reliable. You aren't. read more

Scott is an honest plumber, so I will always call him for my future plumbing problems. He's done work here before, and was really great this time because he honestly said appliances are outside his purview, but that we would send someone out with the disclaimer that it would be expensive. Instead, he took the time to listen to what I told him I'd already done, and looked at pictures I sent him to help me troubleshoot my clogged dishwasher. By spending about 30 minutes with me on the phone, and bypassing an opportunity to get money, he has our trust for future jobs. Thanks, Scott! read more

I had to have a 200 ft long water service main replaced and Scott and Phil at Scottco plumbing did an amazing job for a very reasonable price compared to other bids. Scott was very responsive and reassuring any time I had a question about the process. They got my line replaced and my water working again very quickly and in a professional manner. I will definitely be using Scottco for any future plumbing needs. read more

I got a direct message on Yelp telling me I'm mean because I kept getting harassed by this guy. Photo is attached. If you miss appointments with me twice in a row and don't make any effort to let me know you'll be late (or not coming), maybe other consumers deserve to know you were unreliable for me. That isn't "tarnishing a small business owner"; that's just describing events you're embarrassed happened. read more

Scottco Plumbing - Plumbing Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

See all

Scott fixed a hot water line that sprung leaks behind my water heater a couple months ago. He came right away and fixed the issue quickly. Because I had issues related to the water leaking for a couple days, Scott couldn't just move my hot water heater back into position and be done with it. So, he hooked it up and moved it off to the side and promised to come back after all my repairs were finished to move the heater back into position and strap it down at no extra charge. True to his word, he just came back and finished it after all my repairs were over. His rates were very reasonable--like kind of shockingly reasonable given the rates everyone else charges in Western Washington. I did read some negative reviews prior to calling Scott, but that wasn't my experience at all, and as he explained, he likes to communicate over the phone, not by text. He is very reachable that way, and if a good plumber who doesn't charge an arm and a leg prefers a little flexibility on my part, I'll happily accommodate him. I'll definitely call him again if I ever have any plumbing needs, which hopefully won't be any time soon. read more

Scott and helper were in and out within 5 minutes. It wasn't a plumbing issue, it's my washing machine. He didn't charge me. Nowadays, I have been charged just to have something looked at. Or am pressured for some kind of services. No charge, no pressure. Rare breed nowadays. Thank you, Scott! And the helper for giving me a phone number for an appliance repair shop. read more

Wow! See below for previous review. I had a water heater die over the weekend. Scott came out Sunday night right after I called him and had it replaced by the time I got home from work on Monday. THANK YOU SCOTT!! Great service! For starters, he showed up on time. As it turned out, the repair was so quick and easy that when I asked how much I owed him his answer was "just have a great day". I almost fainted. He was very knowledgeable and let me know what I'll need to eventually take care of and what can wait. Im still in shock. read more

They came out to repair a bathroom sink for me in our only bathroom. When I called my usual plumber, they didn't call back and then when I got through they were booking out over a month. Scottco answered right away and had a courteous and skilled plumber there first thing in the AM. They were communicative and did a great job-- he even cleaned up around the work area so I didn't have to do any clean up. I plan to call them in the future first! read more

You can trust Scottco Plumbing. The price is fair, the service is excellent, and the value of a job done right is priceless! Came out to the house evaluated the issue within minutes and our faucet was as good as new once a part was replaced! Thank you Scottco! read more

I had Scott and Dean out again when my sewer lien backed up. They installed a clean out drain and scoped/hydro jetted the line. They did a great job and charged a reasonable price! ScottCo is my go-to plumbing company. read more

Scott added some hose bibs for me an did an excellent job at amazing price. I got an appointment very quickly. Highly recommended.

Scott replaced our gas h.w. tank this afternoon, and I was quite impressed with his whole process from start to finish. I just called him yesterday, and he was able to come out this afternoon. He kept me informed on his schedule, used an excellent quality h.w. tank, was fast, careful and professional in his work, gave us a quite good price, and even provided a 10 year warranty on both the tank and labor. I've worked with lots of plumbers in my 80 years and in my real estate career, and I don't think I ever used one quite as good and effective. He's now my go-to plumber. read more

Available next day for a plumbing repair! Easy to reach via phone/text and affordable pricing. Thank you!

Scott came to the house quickly, checked multiple potential issues, and was very reassuring and clear about his recommendations. So glad we called him. This is the second time we've used Scott Co. Both times he offered troubleshooting help over the phone before offering his services. 1st time he replaced a toilet and installed a flange. He clearly values the customer experience and does great work. read more

Theae guys came to give us a second opinion from a bid from Harts Plumbing. Scott took our call responded quickly. Came the next morning fixed it in a jiffy. He was so nice and reassuring and HONEST. He fixed our issue for FAR less than the bid from Harts. It wasn't cheap, plumbing never is, but I'd call them again if we needed plumbing. You can't go wrong with Scotts. read more

Scott from Scottco came out and unclogged a plugged drainage pipe for me. It was causing the basement to flood and was an emergency and Scott came out and figured the problem. His fix save our basement. He was so knowledge and helpful during the process. If you need quick service give Scott a call. read more

Scott really is incredible! Last night I got home and my toilet started overflowing with raw sewage water. There was about in inch and a half of water in my bathroom. My landlord wasn't picking up the phone and the emergency maintenance line was a bust too. So finally I started looking for emergency plumbers. I got hold of some people basically saying not your house not your problem, talk to your landlords. Not Scott. I got a hold of him at 9:30pm and explained my situation crying and not sounding sane. He calmed me down and told me he would be out soon. He came in 30 minutes!!! Not only did he arrive super fast but he went above and beyond to help us out. He fixed our toilet and helped suck all the water out. He didn't have to, but he checked our pipes and found a root growing into the pipes. He told us what to do and how to deal with our landlord so we don't get screwed over by this. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for fast, efficient and amazing service. :) THANK YOU SCOTT!!! read more

We called Scott bright and early and he was able to come out and get us a brand new water heater installed same day. He was prompt, professional, and genuinely cared about our needs. He even included an expansion tank and brought everything up to code. When doing his testing he noticed our bathroom faucet had low pressure and changed out a line and wala, the pressure was back! I would recommend Scott and his crew to anyone I know for their plumbing needs! read more

Incredible!! They were the 4th company called and the quickest to respond. Extremely friendly on the phone and made it a priority to c me out on short notice and replaced my water heater for a very reasonable price. Plus they gave a 10yr warranty and said to call anytime!! I am great full that they are so attentive to their clients. read more

I rarely post reviews, but Scottco was outstanding in fixing a pipe we accidentally drilled into. I called him Friday night and he was out first thing Saturday morning. He was extremely reasonable (compared to other quotes we had gotten), friendly, professional and trustworthy. The pipe was fixed quickly and he answered some questions we had about avoiding doing that in the future. We will definitely use Scott and his company for any future repairs needed. read more

Scottco replaced our 30 year old water heater yesterday. His bid was the best and it included labor and everything required to bring it up to code (earthquake straps, drip pan and expansion tonk). Several other bids considered those items as add-ons for extra cost. Scott even guarantees his work and the tank for 10 years! I definitely recommend him. read more

Scottco Plumbing - Good as new! - Plumbing Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

If I could give this business 0 stars, I would. They are very unprofessional. I referred them to my brother last week since i have used them before. My brother called for a plumbing issue, they gave him a window and never showed up. Then, my own house had an issue and my landlord scheduled them to come out. They canceled last minute stating that their employee is going home for the day because he has Pneumonia. Fist off, why the hell are you having your employee work if they have Pneumonia??? 2nd, the text they wrote was very unprofessional and they couldn't even spell. They sounds like a bunch of uneducated losers. Do NOT USE them. This is my 2nd review from another page. i am trying to get the word out so nobody else gets scammed. read more

Scott did a great, thorough job on our clogged drain problem. He is s good guy who is honest and knows what he's doing. The drain was so clogged with grease he took the hard way and replaced the whole line. I think we paid about a third more for Roto-rooter to come out and unclog the same drain about 5 years ago. Now we've got a solution that will last longer and it cost less. This was a really messy job and he figured out a way to get all the stinky, greasy pipes out for disposal without dragging them through the house. I really appreciated that he spent time and energy to be conscientious about cleanliness. If we had any questions about when he was going to arrive or if he could fit us in on short notice, we just sent him a text and he responded right away. read more
