Steve is a journeyman plumber and it was clear he knew his plumbing. Came out to see what exactly I wanted done, I live an hour out of Spokane and he didn't charge to come out for this trip and ballpark estimate. He made a list of items he would need to bring and I scheduled the appt with the office. On the day of the appt, he came on time with a helper, worked almost a full day and was very pleasant. Checked with me on where I wanted the tub faucet and showed me or explained to me other issues or options on work I requested. I highly recommend Bulldog Rooter for any kind of plumbing issue you may have. I am one very satisfied customer and would call them again if needed.
Description of Work: Steve installed my bath tub, roman faucet, bathroom sink faucet, secured my vanity with silicone, fixed my washing machine valve that was leaking, installed my toilet (copper fitting), fixed the leak under the kitchen sink and removed and installed another sink in another bathroom.

mehiBeing a first-time home owner, I was a total neophyte regarding septic and sewage systems. We had never experienced a single problem with the septic system during 17 years of ownership. When Spokane County Utility Department contacted us concerning sewer connection, we were skeptical of the need for change and the process involved. So, after hearing their explanation of requirement for compliance, we were at a loss how to proceed. We gathered names of service providers from Home Advisor, Nickel-Nick and Exchange newspapers, joined Angie's List, and noted signs posted at homes in our area. We then contacted four contractors, who came to our home to survey the area, and returned with bids. For info: 1) Chris Folsom, Bobcat Service (Exchange news) came for a survey, but never followed up with a bid; 2) Ray Hanson, Capitol Construction (Home Advisor) provided a bid of $3,500; 3) Larry Miller Excavating (yard sign) bid $4,500; and 4) Bulldog Rooter (Angie's List) offered the service for $3,900. We chose Bulldog Rooter for several reasons: owner, Butch Jumalon, personally came to assess the project and explain the process. Throughout our several conversations, he emphasized the quality of their service and projection as to what we would experience during the four day process (dig, empty septic tank & permanently seal, lay connecting pipe, fill trench, return landscape). He also emphasized that at the end of each day, workers would clean the property, leaving it safe and clear of debris and rubble. Throughout our association, everything Butch told us was more than accurate. Each day, the lead digger and the worker (Butch's son) arrived at 7am and completed work around 7pm. They were hard working, yet precise in every task. Also, each responded immediately to any question or concern we had. Plus, Butch came to the site at least daily to track progress since the company had numerous on-going projects throughout the city of Spokane and the Valley. In conclusion, I couldn't be more pleased with Bulldog's service and work performed. I would recommend them for any excavating or plumbing work. They're honest, pleasant, and accurate in the services they provide.
Description of Work: Installed sewer connection between single-family home and sewer main beneath the street. Further, drained and sealed 1,000 gallon septic tank and system.

Plumber was prompt, pleasant, professional and very proficient. He determined what the problem was, replaced the malfunctioning device and overall resolved what was a continuing problem. It was the best plumbing work I have gotten. I highly recommend using Bulldog for any and all plumbing needs.

GREAT service, reasonable prices, overall just the best plumbing professionals we have ever used.
Description of Work: We have used Bulldog multiple times over the past 18 months. We found them on Angie's List and have been thrilled with their service. We have had them do simple work like unclogging a sink to more complicated stuff like retrieving a lost toy from a toilet (the most recent job). They have diagnosed a leak from our diaper sprayer that a major water damage company failed to find the cause of too.

John and his crew were fabulous. The entire house drainage was stopped up from a broken sewer drain and it became imperative to have the problems fixed as soon as possible. John was on site the next day. He located the problem, provided advice on the best solutions and started (and finished) the project without any delay. He was careful to listen to our concerns and act on them, for example, he took great care in protecting as much of the surrounding landscape as possible while still getting the job done. I will use him again for every plumbing need inside and outside.

Steve came and did an excellent job with the above. He even threw in tightening my two toilet seats. He fixed a Lowe's installer's water heater mistake and listened to what I wanted and got the proper shower head to install. This is an excellent company, and now I don't have to do any more trial and error visits for an ethical, customer-oriented, reasonably-priced, quality-work plumbing company! This is now my "go-to" plumbing company and I think Steve should be called "St. Stephen" from now on. :)
Description of Work: They put in drainage pipe from the pressure valve of my new water heater to my sink, and replaced my shower head.

Face it, when there is water coming out of the floor drain in the basement there is a problem at hand. Called the number and got a live person on the end (didn't happen with the previous call to another provider). Oh yeah, it was about 7:30 at night. Within 45 minutes Bill was at the house, unloading the power snake and getting started. Rammed through the roots, who knew they would be growing in the winter, and opened us up to the main sewer line out in the alley. Great service, great price and even though I hope I never have to call a plumber again, I know I will call these folks.
Description of Work: Bill came out and snaked out the main drain line for roots.

Bill showed up within a few hours of initially calling to have a water backup issue rectified. He tried to auger out our pip but couldn't due to a root going through the pipe. Through the process of puting a camera down our main line we determined that our 50 year old orangeburg pipe needed to be be replace as is was collapsing in sections and also had the huge root that had gone through it. We hired Bulldog to dig down about 6 feet to pull the old pipe out and replace it with a new 50 year warrantied pipe. They were clean and efficient and did a great job. They didn't even charge us for their initial service call (they came out about 8:00 on a Sunday evening) or for putting the camera down the pipe.

Steven came out and thawed out our pipes. He had a WONDERFUL attitde-even though we may have been his 100th call this weekend-Spokane was under a artic cold front for 7+ days. He then after leaving our place at 11:50 pm-went out to a home in Medical lake to help a elderly lade get her pipes thawed out. Will use these folks again and will recomend them too.

I would like to thank Bulldog Rooter for there great customer service, professional employees and fair pricing. A tip of my hat to Rick in dispatching and Dylan the plumber who did a great job for us. To access the sewer clean out the dryer and washing machine had to be moved which Dylan helped move and when the job was done Dylan moved the washing machine back and connected the water lines. After connecting the washer Dylan went to move the dryer but I told him I would take care of it. Dylan even cleaned up what little mess there was on our old concrete basement floor. If you want great customer service, professional workmanship and fair pricing, call BULLDOG ROOTER! I will call them again.
Description of Work: Dylan arrived on time and explained what he would need to do to clear my sewer line. From start to finish one hour and fifteen minutes. Just got to love trees roots in the sewer lines.

EXCELLENT service, cost and after-hours response! Make them your first call for any plumbing needs, you will be glad you did. Situation: Spokane is suffering extreme winter weather warning conditions complete with single digit temperature conditions. We started the day with a frozen pipe, reviewed Angie's List, contacted (3) companys (not Bulldog) and lined up one of them to fix the frozen pipe. After they left, we discovered another issue, a leaking pipe. We tried to contact the first plumber to come back to fix it, the office was closed and no 24-hour emergency service. Back to Angie's List looking for a 24-hour emergency plumbing repair service. We hit the jackpot, discovering BULLDOG Rooter and are we glad we did. My husband explained the situation and they said we would be put on their list in order of our call and they should be able to get to us sometime during the night. We received a call at 10:30 pm asking if it was too late to come out to fix the leaking pipe. Steve Haller was here by 11:15 pm and had the situation under control and fixed within an hour. Steve had been on duty since 6:00 am, still had a smile on his face, great sense of humor and an awesome attitude. For all future plumbing needs BULLDOG Rooter will be our first call. Make sure to ask for Steve. Thanks to all at BULLDOG, you are AWESOME!!!

We had a sudden issue over the Thanksgiving holiday with a blogged main sewer line. We consulted Angie's List and found Bulldog Rooter. Even though it was the holiday and even though they were very busy, they made time to come help us so we wouldn't have to wait out the holidays. They were fast, courteous and conscientious. I would definitely use them again and I would highly recommend then to others!

John and crew did an excellent job throughout the entire process. The only thing that Bulldog was not as strong on was their reluctance to install the iron filtration unit I purchased from a different company. They did recommend another local company, EcoWater that could, potentially install this unit, however Ecowater did not respond or return my calls in a timely manner, so I did not hire them. I hired a different plumber to complete the installation of the iron filtration unit though it could have been installed by Bulldog Rooter. While Bulldog Rooter is great about responsiveness 24/7 and not charging different rates for evenings and weekends, I generally do not like having to pay trip charges to service providers.
Description of Work: John originally responded to a call concerning a slow leak from the iron filtration unit (a component of the Culligan water softener system.) Culligan was unable to come out to my home until 7 days later. John was able to come out the same day I called. What started as a leak inside my home from a failing iron filtration unit morphed into the discovery of a leaking water hydrant outside of my home. The water hydrant was broken and would not shut off. John was extremely responsive to my panic because I did not know where the water shut off valve for the well was. Through cell phone photos, he was able to guide me and helped me locate the water shut off valve inside the house and came out to my home within a few hours to replace the outside water hydrant. He and two other guys, John and Jesse dug up the existing hydrant and replaced it with a new hydrant.

I called to see if they could come take a look at a leak we were having. They offered to come out to give me a free estimate. He said "We like our customers to know what the cost will be before we even start". I like that too. He said they could send someone out to look at it in 30 to 45 min. The tech they sent out was on time and very friendly. He was courteous and did an excellent job. I will recommend them to my friends.
Description of Work: I had water coming through the wall, they fixed the leak.
