This company was contracted by the condo HOA thru the Property management May 8 2024 for jetting services on the entire first floor of our building. At the time supervisor LT brought an apprentice Trevor and left him to do the work while he works on another unit across. Trevor goofed by disconnecting a hose and flooded the kitchen on final testing. My tenant is the one who noticed bec he did not know it flooded due to protective gears he's wearing and only paid attention to the bucket he was filling. Incident escalated and summoned LT from what he's doing, and the property management was contacted while damage is underway. Plumbing Joint did not pay anything for the damage because LT twisted his story and it was conveniently used by the Plumbing Joint to AVOID responsibility. LT's story implied that the disconnected hose was done on purpose by unit occupant and that tenant did not clear the path under the sink never mentioned in his story that he left his trainee (Trevor) to do the work unsupervised. Property Management downplayed the flooding incident also but arranged for mitigation same day which resulted to cutting and opening infected dry walls. Mitigation process took a week and a half to complete and cost the condo HOA $2,400 and my out of pocket cost of $2,500 to repair the damage which took six (6) months to find someone to fix the damaged areas. Insurance claim went all the way to intercompany arbitration but because it was labelled he say/she says so the company avoided paying. I will never let anyone from this company do work in any property of mine even ongoing maintenance contract via the Property Management or HOA unless one or the other signs off on pre-work condition. I will give this company minus -1 star if I could. This company's sorry excuse for "customer service" inspired me to write this review. STEER CLEAR

I wish I would have read the reviews before hiring The Joint Plumbing. I am very disappointed not only by the quality of service, but the lack of responsiveness, and manner of professionalism. Attached photos to show the poor quality of work. STAY AWAY!!!! I hired Joint Plumbing to install a whole home water filtration system. They came to my home, took off twice for materials and still left a pile of garbage that needed to be torn out and installed by professionals (see attached). They did not mount the filtration system to the wall and left the main water line dangling flimsy in place. The very next day, they sent a "Leave a review for $$" email, no wonder they have any 4-5 star reviews at all. STAY AWAY!

Sewage spill

Original customer service on the phone was great. Friendly and helpful. Unfortunately....We just had someone out to empty our septic tank. Our appointment was at 4pm. When I scheduled I was very clear that I wouldn't be home until 4pm. They showed up almost an hour early which meant I wasn't home and my husband had to leave in the middle of a meeting to help them. The cost ended up being $880 when we were qouted $699. The mess that was left behind was outrageous and disgusting. One of our dogs immediately rolled in it, which was even more disgusting. Very very disappointed in The Plumbing Joint and will definitely go elsewhere next time.

Metal bar spiked into generator pad

I recently had a whole-house generator installed. The Plumbing Joint Inc. was the sub-contractor for the gas piping to the generator. Because they were the sub-contractor, I had no contact with the office, customer service, or any staff other than the plumbing Technician (and a "trainee") they sent out to do the work. The job involved running gas piping through the crawl space, penetrating out through the wall of the house, dropping down into a pre-dug 2ft trench that went out around behind the generator, then coming up and connecting into the back of generator. When the Technician "finished" the job and left, I had numerous issues with what he had done. I contacted my Project Manager, who contacted The Plumbing Joint Inc, who then sent out the same Technician who had created all the problems in the first place. I had hoped they would send out a different, more qualified Technician to make the corrections - after all, the original guy thought he had done it "right" the first time, so why would the company think he would be capable of even identifying let alone fixing these problems ??? Wanting to be fair, I had my Project Manager, a general contractor neighbor, and my own plumber come over and look at the situation prior to this second visit. All agreed that it may functionally work to deliver gas to the generator, but overall the job was unacceptable. The Technician returned for the 2nd visit, and I pointed out all the issues that had been identified. For each item listed he blamed the "trainee" for having done the work. After 1.5 hours, the Technician said he needed to order another "part," and would schedule to come back for a 3rd time. After he left, I discovered that he had spent the time digging under the corner of the generator and undermining the pad. I later discovered the damage done to the new insulation in the crawl space. At this point I decided to cancel any further work on my property by The Plumbing Joint Inc. Instead, I had my own plumber make the corrections/repairs, and re-do the gas piping in the trench from the house to the generator. My list of issues: Cut the strings and tore down parts of the NEW overhead fiberglass insulation in the crawl space Knocked the foam sleeves off of water lines in the crawl space Failed to paint exposed black iron (=rust) Trapped my garden hose behind the gas pipe Gas pipe was expected to exit the house and run parallel to the already installed electrical line - it did not Metal bar spiked into the corner of the generator pad, potentially weakening the integrity of the pad Large wad of tracer wire left wound around the pipe above ground Rather than follow the existing trench, dug under the corner of the generator and undermined the pad by 7" Piled the dirt from his digging up on the pad and up against the side of the generator Did not caulk any of the wall penetrations PHOTOS: 1.

We drink more water now because of the great filter we bought! Their staff is highly knowledgeable, friendly, honest, professional and patient with my many questions. I hope more people discover this shop. I only learned about them after picking up their pamphlet next to PCC's water stand.

It is now March or 2025 and I live out on the Coast of Washington State, but my experiences with Custom Pure more than 10 years ago were so Wonderful I had to look it up and see if it was, as I hoped, still in business. To my Complete Delight it IS! I first learned of Custom Pure through someone I knew, and also at PCC (Puget Sound Consumer's Co-op) and I consumed only Custom Pure water, whose purification method is the Best I have ever encountered. For Excellent Health, pure water is crucial. I could not possibly have a higher recommendation for Custom Pure! And I shall see if I can find an outlet for it here on the Washington Coast. I would even be willing to help man a store out here. I consumed nothing but Custom Pure Water for about a year, and then briefly ran out and had to drink water from the faucet in my apartment. I was amazed that I was experiencing a mild but substantial psychotropic result from drinking that hideous Seattle Public Water! Custom Pure Water is to me, the Standard of the Purest WAter I have ever been privileged to have available for my consumption. Try it for yourself and You will see, over time, the huge difference it will make in your health. Please note that I eat healthy, and I do not use, abuse, nor consume to any degree, drugs, alcohol, nor tobacco. For those seeking optimum health and vitality, I highly highly highly recommend Custom Pure! ~ Sol A.

After several incredibly stressful days without water, I cannot recommend Brian Clarke highly…read moreenough. Our water went out unexpectedly due to what we believed was a major well failure. With a large three-story home, multiple bathrooms, an indoor pool, extensive plumbing, and a complex well system serving the property, we feared the worst. We even had other professionals come out, and while they were courteous and tried their best, no one could pinpoint the problem. Brian arrived, immediately approached the situation with confidence, experience, and professionalism, and quickly identified that the primary issue was a leak in our irrigation system along with a pressure tank that needed replacement. Thanks to his expertise, he had our water restored that same day so our family of five--including my young grandson--could make it through the weekend. He then returned exactly as promised, replaced the pressure tank, completed the repairs, and had everything operating perfectly. What impressed me most wasn't just his technical ability--it was his character. Brian genuinely cared about getting our family back on our feet. He never made us feel like just another customer, and it was obvious his priority was solving the problem, not maximizing the bill. His pricing was incredibly fair, especially considering the complexity of the work and the time he invested. In a world where trust and craftsmanship can be difficult to find, Brian Clarke stands out as someone who truly earns both. His knowledge, honesty, work ethic, and commitment to doing the job right are exceptional. I would recommend him without hesitation to any family, homeowner, or military member looking for someone they can completely trust. Thank you, Brian, for restoring more than our water--you restored our peace of mind. A & C Miller

This establishment is egregiously deceptive. I deeply regret not perusing the multitude of…read moreunfavorable critiques prior to engaging with them. For over a year, they have artfully siphoned funds from us under false pretenses. Our initial agreement was for the replenishment of a dozen jugs, yet, inexplicably, this number escalated to 16, while having been charged the whole time. On a separate occasion, five jugs were erroneously filled with distilled water instead of purified. Given my autoimmune condition, distilled water poses a significant health risk, depriving my body of essential nutrients. Upon addressing this concern, we were met with a defensive and evasive attitude, insinuating that the errors were of our own making. It's evident through the multitude of disapproving reviews that this company is not committed to the welfare of its clientele. I strongly advise against any association with them. They are scam artists with zero compassion. I am currently in process of filing complaints with the Washington state attorney general- consumer protection, and the Washington utilities and transport commission. I highly encourage you all to do the same until they change their asinine ways. I've taken the liberty of providing those numbers down below.

When Primo/Crystal Springs took over, we assumed they would use the same water source, however, that is not the case. It isn't just just a name takeover. So, we gave it like a few bottles before we asked customer service, if this was a water source change as well. Let's just be honest, it tastes like tap water. Not just tap water but metal pipes that need upgrades tap water. Now, without MM, we are stuck. Everyone in our office is now bringing their own water in. It is a sad day.
