Response from Favinger Plumbing
Mr [Member Name Removed] did indeed hire Favinger Plumbing. I reviewed his job and spoke with the plumber. In addition to pulling and resetting his toilet, the plumber repaired a leak on a lavatory drain. While the plumber was at his house, Mr [Member Name Removed] also had him look at and provide a quote for installing a sump pump. Most people appreciate an efficient licensed plumber arriving with a well stocked truck, prepared to take care of almost any plumbing issue. From office and warehouse staff, to maintaining rolling-warehouse type trucks, to investing in the best tools and equipment, Favinger Plumbing invests a lot to make that happen, and our reputation bears that out. While it is expensive to deliver that level of service, I know we are competitive in the marketplace, and everyone has a choice whether or not to hire us. Fortunately we get very few complaints. If we do something wrong, have a leak, or there is any problem at all, we stand behind stand behind our work. I cannot "fix" being fast and efficient.

They never called us back.
Description of Work: We had an emergency plumbing issue-leaking pipe-that needed to be addressed over the weekend. I called the after hours paging system and was never called back. So I called Gary's Plumbing instead. Someone answered the phone and sent a plumber out immediately who fixed our leak in under 1 hour.

Response from Favinger Plumbing
I appreciate Mr [Member Name Removed]'s calling Favinger Plumbing. Our on-call plumber responded to five emergency calls over the weekend, but he never received a message from Mr [Member Name Removed]. I can't say definitively what happened. Perhaps our plumber messed up while retrieving messages, perhaps Mr [Member Name Removed] pressed the wrong button when attempting to page our plumber. I don't know. I'm sorry that he was not called back. Fortunately this is not typical for our on-call system, unfortunately we now have an unhappy, formerly potential customer. And I also appreciate how frustrating a plumbing emergency can be, and not getting a prompt response only exacerbates and already difficult situation. I apologize, but I don't know that we deserve an "F" for this one.

Description of Work: Replaced faucets for the clothes washer, strapped water heater and otherwise brought it up to code, pro-actively turned off an outside faucet and suggested that I cover it for winter. Since I am new in this climate that was very helpful. They were pleasant, professional, prompt, fast and efficient. I would use them again in a heartbeat.

When I called the company, they scheduled an appointment for the next working day. The serviceman figured out the problem quickly and fixed it. He gave me the choice of a simple fix or a much more expensive fix and his opinion that the least expensive one would probably fix the problem, so I decided to do the inexpensive alternative. After two weeks, it seems to be working fine. He was pleasant and did the job promptly. I am pleased with the experience and will use them again.

Plumber was professional, courteous and thorough. He did a great job, and didn't quit on it until he was successful. When finished, he cleaned up everything after left the place spotless. Great all around experience.
Description of Work: The plumber came out to the house promptly and cleared the clogged drain with a snake (after we'd spent 2 hours trying to do it with our own snake).

the toilet ring replacement went well. I was expecting worse. (possible damage to floor from broken bracket). but they did an excellent job, replacing bolts to bracket on wax ring and reseating toilet. overall- for this I am very happy that the price was right and did an exc ellent job .
Description of Work: I needed a Toilet seat "reset" with a new wax wing. this was first time I've had to do this and was not sure about proper placement of ring. plumber from favinger was very helpful. price was lower than I expected and job was done beyond to my satisfaction. (area cleaned, toilet parts repaired, reset and caulked all within an hour. I will use and refer this contractor over other's in my area.

Fantastic!! I will NEVER use another plumber. Now I have a friend asking if they go to Seattle..........
Description of Work: We just moved to Bellingham from Seattle. We had some very bad experiences with plumbers there, so I asked a neighbour if she could recommend somebody. It was an emergency due to a bad installation by the "orignal plumber" . It was a leaky pressure valve that finally exploded. Favinger reacted extremely quickly and solved my issue with no problem. I had expected to pay a lot more, but.............. About one week later I called back to have them come and fix a faucet that suddenly started squirting water. Upon their arrival, it was just barely dripped. Jordan fixed that and THEN said he was not going to charge me!!!!! Unbelievable! I cannot say enough good things about these people. They are efficient, friendly, neat and clean and animal lovers to boot!!! I will NEVER use another plumber! If I could rate them A plus, I would.

We had a vintage toilet in basement. When it developed a leak, it was time to have it replaced. I called Favinger and received same day service. They arrived on time, brought a choice of low flow replacement toilets, and installed our chosen toilet within a couple of hours. They cleaned up all evidence of the work, and left us happy customers.
Description of Work: Removed 40 year old toilet in basement and replaced it with new low flow toilet. Replaced leaky outdoor water faucet with new frost-free faucet.

From beginning to end, Favinger was a pleasure to work with and I am very pleased with the results.
Description of Work: I had Favinger out 3 times. Initially for an estimate; they were able to be here the next day. The first work visit they brought natural gas plumbing into the kitchen from the garage for a new gas range. This entailed being under the house in a rather nasty crawl space. The 2nd work visit envolved moving plumbing from one wall to another in the laundry room, and also extending the natural gas line outside to the grill. The 2nd day of work was a full day. One of the reasons for the high cost was the pipe used to transport gas which is pricey.

I was very pleased with Favinger Plumbing. I had a hot water heater installed about 6 years ago by another company and I wasn?t happy with those plumbers. The tank was a little bigger than what had been there before. So it sat out from the wall a little bit more and they had to kind of zigzag it when they put the piping up to the roof. It started pouring a couple of days later and the rain was coming in through the roof in the spot where they had the hose. So I called them and told them about the problem. It apparently loosened something on the roof and the guy who had come out said that it was not his job. He said that we were the ones who did it and it wasn?t leaking before. He told us that we had to get a roofer to fix that and so I did have a roofer come out to take care of it. The hot water tank started leaking on a Friday night at about 11 o?clock in the night. It was a 3 day weekend since Columbus Day was on Monday. So I called the same people because they were the only ones I knew, but they didn?t have an emergency help. They had voice mail. It said that they would get back to me on the first business day and I needed someone right then. So I called Favinger Plumbing since they had a coupon in the phone book. I thought to try them and see them. They not only allowed me to use the coupon, but they also deducted the emergency call that their plumber made on Saturday morning to come out and take a look at it. They made up for me from the bill because they didn?t want to charge me twice for coming out here to the house, which I thought was really cool. So there was almost $150 taken off the bill. He came out on Saturday and explained to me that he could fix it that day. He said that he would do it so that it wouldn?t leak anymore, but he also told us that it would cost us more since it was on a weekend. I asked him if he could come out on Monday and he agreed. He told me that he would schedule me first on Monday morning and they did. They were out here first thing on Monday morning and installed a beautiful hot water tank. They strapped it to the wall so that it wouldn?t come off in case of an earthquake. They put in a new pipe and everything. The guy asked me to call him if there was water coming through the roof. He said that he would come right out and also told me that he knew how to get on the roof. They cleaned up after themselves very nicely. I was thrilled. The people who had put my hot water tank also put in my furnace and I have replaced the furnace twice since I have been here. I have been here for about 25 years. So the plumbers from Favinger Plumbing said that they don?t do anything else other than plumbing. It was unfortunate since I wanted them to do all the work for me. They also modified the gas line since it?s a gas hot water tank.
Description of Work: Favinger Plumbing Inc replaced my hot water heater on the 11th of October. They enlarged the plumbing pipes because he said that they were too small and they were really tiny for the water going into the hot water tank. They replaced the gas line since he said that it was getting old. I don’t believe they even charged anything extra for that. I was surprised with the price. I thought that it was going to be $400 more than what I paid and so I am very pleased. They got their money, installed the water heater and they were done. I would definitely use their services in the future too.

I was cleaning a rental house and found a wet spot under the kitchen sink. I called Favinger and their guys were here before the end of the day. They took apart and reassembled flange nut in sink waste to stop the leak. Didn't even try to sell me a new part as the old one had just been crooked. They cleaned up after themselves and were very professional.
