Very quick response and communication concerning our commercial bathroom drains issues. Diagnosis, recommended repairs and a rapid response all happened within a few days. It seems like our long-standing plumbing flow problem is finally solved. Not inexpensive, but given the limited access to our 100+ year-old…

Nathan, our technician, was awesome! He was very nice and extremely knowledgeable!! Our sewer pipe was blocked and Nathan found a ball of roots had made it into the exterior sewer pipe rubber boot connected to the house. Our cleanout was only plumbed one direction to the septic and not to the house. He suggested…

Doug was very professional. He arrived on time and gave a clear assessment of the issues. The job was beyond their scope, as it would need extensive excavation. He kindly referred me to a company more equipped for this work. I've worked with West Side several times and have always be very satisfied. I would highly recommend them.

Was at work when my wife called in panic that all of the toilets and sinks were full. Called at 8 am on a Sunday morning and was told that they would be there around noon. Plumber was exactly on time and he was a hoot. Professional, friendly, and funny as heck. You could tell he likes his job. He fixed the issue quickly. Happy wife, happy life.

I can’t say enough about the team at Valley Plumbing NW. Our sewer pump went out early this week and we panicked. Valley Plumbing was the quickest to respond and come out to investigate the problem.

Reliability (24%) — How rarely jobs go badly: share of 1–2★ reviews — 60% the last 24 months (or the 20 newest if fewer), 40% all-time; 0% = 100, 15%+ = 0; the category percentile can only raise it.

Craft & service (penalty, up to −10) — Google review highlights: Quality, Professionalism, Responsiveness, Punctuality — how rarely reviewers flag them as a negative, per review since highlights began; 0% = 100, 5%+ = 0.
