Excellent. John P. was straight-forward, efficient and creative. We had a bid from another company for $2000+ and a very long, drawn process in front of us. John walked in, offered us a new option at a quarter of the cost. We appreciated his honesty. Fox Plumbers don't work on commission so they are not motivated to increase your price to improve their personal bottom line.

Fox came in and said we would need to replace the part - he then took off for a supply shop in south seattle (for which we were billed) and as it turns out they didn't have the part and had to order it. I authorized the travel time, but I was put out that it was a part that wasn't in stock (so I paid for a drive to south seattel and back for nothing). We had company coming and we needed that shower working. As it turned out he tinkered with it a bit and got it working (without the out of stock part). So good - its working. bad, they should have called ahead to the supply company and checked on the part first. Too expensive.
Description of Work: had a stuck valve in our shower - we tried to fix ourselves, but it was frozen and were concerned we had to cut through the wall.

I was pleased with them. I spent approximately $400 on that service. My interaction with them was very good. They were prompt and the individual appeared to be very knowledgeable and provided me with useful information that was beyond the scope of the immediate situation he was dealing with. He gave me good tips. I would use them again. I thought that the price was reasonable and the quality appeared to be good and I haven?t had any problems.

Workmanship was quick and professional. The kitchen was clean when he left. I thought the price was reasonable considering I requested service on a Sunday so I could have water on Monday morning.
Description of Work: A simple home project to stop a slow drip went from bad to worse to worse yet when a shut-off valve blew apart, flooding the kitchen. After I shut the main and mopped up the flood, I went to buy a replacement valve. When I bought the new valve, I was told the compression nut would need to be changed to install an industrial grade valve. I called Fox on a Sunday. Their serviceman replaced all three shut-off valves under the sink with higher quality ones, replaced a leaking hose, and checked the whole system for leaks.

Went well from the start. Even though the estimates went up they explained in detail the reasons and the options. The guys worked hard and stayed until 8pm the first night to ensure we were not without a sewer line overnight. They communicated well through every step of the process and I would definitely use them again in the future. Although hopefully I won't have to.
Description of Work: Initially called during heavy rain storm because my sewer line was clogged. I tried calling 5-8 different plumbers on that Saturday and Fox was the only one that was able to get out there within 2 hours. Came out and snaked my sewer line, they got a huge root ball out but could not get past a certain point with the snake. Luckily, that got the line flowing again. On the following Monday they came out and put a camera down the line and found an area that was totally gone the pipe had eroded to nothing. (90 year old concrete pipe). Gave me an initial estimate of $1200 to replace that section of pipe. When they got it dug up they found the entire line was gone all the way to the 6" clay line under the city sidewalk. The estimate went up to $8000. They had to remove the city sidewalk, and pipe burst the existing line and installed a new 4" pvc line.

Prompt and professional from my first call to Fox throughout the repairs.
Description of Work: Chad repaired two leaks in my basement: He replaced the leaking hot and cold laundry valves, as well as the defective laundry hoses I had just purchased at Lowe's. He also cleaned out my bathtub drain and reseated the drain hole hardware properly, as it was poorly done in the past. As serendipity would have it, shortly after he left, the pressure valve on my water line sprang a leak. Chad promptly returned to replace the failing valve. He also relocated it to a more appropriate place on the water line. He felt that turning the main water line off and on to fix the laundry room leaks had sped up the failure of the valve--rust was apparent were slow leakage had ocurred. I was relieved that I could have it fixed then, rather than down the road.

The response beginning with my call to Fox through the end of the technician's visit was highly professional and satisfactory.
Description of Work: My garbage disposal was clogged with glass. Brian was able to unjam it and get it running again. He also checked my water heater and recommended removing the water-logged expansion tank, which he explained was not necessary on my open system and could result in higher water bills. He removed said tank. Brian was very professional, efficient and explained things well.

Rick was great, came out and did a detailed estimate, answered my many questions and as I had more questions he promptly responded to all my emails. Jose and Brian, the guys that did the work were fantastic. Kept me informed on how the job was going and did a great clean up. My only "B" was cost. Fox was cheaper that other estimates but plumbers are expensive.

I had received a bid from Rick previously for the work to be done. Although he didn't return my call when I later wanted more info when I called the office they got in touch with him and I heard back right away! The people in the office are really on top of it! They were able to schedule the work for the same day and Joel and Will showed up and went to work. Will also looked at my leaky basement project and we discussed causes and remedies and he will get back to me with some options. I could not be happier with the service I received from Joel and Will. They were pleasant to be around and patiently explained what they were doing. Will spent time trying to troubleshoot my leaky basement and as a plus I got to practice my Spanish with Joel (although his English is better than my Spanish!). Great service from this company!
Description of Work: I had a new water line installed from my house to the water meter. I decided to go with the trenchless system so the whole yard wasn't dug up.

Overall, everything went great. The plumber, Kris, was professional, fast, kept me informed, did not use any pressure tactics for upgrades. Originally, I called on a Monday morning and someone was sent out promptly at 10, on time. They assessed my various issues, detected some new ones, and then went on a run for parts. Once back with the parts, they were installed fast and the issues and fixes were explained well. I set up an appointment the next day for a replacement of the water heater. Plumber ran a little late, so that he could get the proper paperwork and guarantees for the water heater. I appreciated the extra effort, and he kept me properly informed of when he would be there, etc. The installation of the water heater went pretty smooth and fast. He had to do some extra ventilation work that was not in the original estimate, but I was well informed of the minor extra cost, so no issues or surprises. This is the second time I have used Fox, and I'm very happy with them, and have confidence based on their work and based on the great attitudes I've seen from every one I have dealt with so far. I'm not really sure how their prices compare to other competitors, but in terms of value for money I think they are very good.
Description of Work: They fixed flow and leak issues with three faucets and a shower. This required finding the right parts for and replacing the plastic cylinder guts of them. They also replaced my 10 year old water heater, which was leaking - and not properly installed by the previous owners.

EXCELLENT. Marcus and Jesse were the technicians for us. They were quite frankly amazing to work with. Not only were they responsive, professional, and timely - but they had a can-do attitude that was refreshing. The project took place over the Thanksgiving week and they worked their tails off in very inclement weather. Fox Plumbing's pricing was very competitive and fair. I recommend Fox Plumbing to anyone who needs honest, hardworking, professional plumbing services.

I've used Fox before and was happy, so I called them again. Got a reminder call from Kris (my service technician) the morning of my appointment, which was very useful. He called again to see if he could come early, since traffic was lighter than usual. Kris was very pleasant, friendly, respectful, patient, and thorough. And, as I mentioned in the "services performed" section, he was very skillful in dealing with my silly demeanor and the overly friendly behavior of my dog. Kris was very interested in teaching me about my options, being honest about my choices, and helping me learn about the product and how it is easier to repair in the future (if necessary) than my last model. He even showed me how easy it would be to take it apart and replace things myself if I was so inclined. I am definitely NOT "so inclined," since I have a reliable plumbing company to work with, and apparently couldn't find a leaky O-ring if it dropped right into my bowl of corn flakes. Anyway, I could go on and on about how great Kris was, but it seems wrong to "gush" over a plumber! (haha) So suffice it to say that I was very pleased with the efficient, professional (yet friendly) service. When I looked at the back of Kris' card and read the company's mission statement**, my first thought was "it's working!" Thanks! ** "Mission Statement: It is our sincere desire to give all of our customers premium service every time, treat our customers like our friends and family, and plan on having a lifelong relationship with them."
Description of Work: 1. Diagnosed leak under kitchen sink as bad O-ring. 2. Discussed options for repair vs. replace, recommended replacement. 3. Explained why repair not recommended (other O-rings getting tight, meaning drying out and likely to leak in not-so-distant future). 4. Reviewed faucets available to replace right now (ones on the truck). 5. Laughed appropriately at my jokes. 6. Went through #2 & 3 again with my hubby on the phone. 7. Replaced the faucet. 8. Recommended keeping an eye on the air gap tubular under the sink, as there are signs of previous leakage (dried stains on outside of drain pipe). 9. Explained/showed me what the heck an air gap tubular is. 10. Recommended NOT replacing it now because it's not a current problem and might not be a problem for a long time. 11. Oh yes, put up with my dog licking his face and practically climbing into his lap while under the sink.

We needed a plumber, on Thanksgiving day, to unclog our kitchen drain. I called a few plumbers and Fox quoted an excellent price. They were also the nicest. The plumber arrived, in record time. That was really unexpected and appreciated, due to the fact that it was a holiday and it was snowing! He was extremely nice, and professional. He had us ready to start using our kitchen again, to prepare Thanksgiving dinner, in no time. These guys are really great. I highly recommend them. Next time I need a plumber, I'm calling them!

Response from Fox Plumbing & Heating
This is a very irresponsible and improper way to report on a company from over two years ago. Just because the price we supposeadly gave, was higher then they thought it should be, doesn't deserve to give a company such poor marks. Its often the case also, that the approach we reccomend is the better way to repair something, and may cost more. But a much better result for the customer. We reject this very shameful way of trying to hurt and defraud our good company and purposely mislead the good people at Angies list.

My old 40 gal water heater was starting to go bad, it was time to replace it. I have used Fox Plumbing in the past and have been very satisfied so I gave them a call. Called at 9am and tld them what I needed done. Kris Jones from Fox was here in an hour. He explained how he was going to install the new larger 50 gal water heater and any additional costs for materials, such as adding an expansion tank required by code, which I didn't have before. Kris removed the old water heater and installed the new one. He was finished in approx 2 1/2 hours. The new water heater was installed much more professionally than my old one. I was very pleased with Kris Jones and Fox and will definately call them for future plumbing needs.

Fox did a great job. Given what we were seeing, we were concerned that we might have to have some major plumbing work done. Fox figured out ways to resolve the issues that were easily done and they did an excellent job in explaining what they were doing and why. They did a check-up of all of our plumbing and gave us a 'thumbs up'. It's great to know that we have a plumbing company that we can trust. we have used them for a number of years and they do excellent work every time.
