Rush Plumbing Inc

The Rush Plumbing team was great. We've had a couple of unique situations in our home, and each time. Robert was able to resolve them quickly. We really appreciate having a plumber we can rely on. More...

Rush fixed my bad water pressure issue professionally and less expensive than I was quoted by others. I believe that they are able to offer better customer service and prices due to them being a smaller operation with less overhead. They came out to look at the issue on a wednesday and had the underground trencher in the next tuesday. Weak water pressure  solved. Robert and Travis were both real nice. Hope I don't have any more plumbing issues, but if I do, I'm calling Rush. More...

Robert with Rush plumbing was recommended to us be a close friend and we are so thrilled with him!  Our VERY old plumbing was causing us problems on a re-occurring basis.  We had a few other plumbers come and all of them either tried to rip us off or do the bare minimum.  Robert came to our rescue and fixed us up when we had another backup but also helped us put together a plan for the more permanent fix.  When we decided to move forward he got to our project right away and had it done quickly.  We really enjoy Robert.  He has a funny, dry sense of humor.  I feel like Robert is always trying to partner with us and think about what really makes sense for our project.  With an old house like ours, I am happy to have Robert as my go to plumber!

Robert from Rush plumbing was first class. They cleaned my water heater when it was not working due to vent being blocked. Then when pilot light would not stay on, they came back out and too care of that too. Very responsive and professional. More...

I've engaged the services of Rush Plumbing twice. Both experiences were very positive.  Service is prompt and professional, and I believe that the advice I was given will provide the greatest benefit in the long term. I would not hesitate to use them again or to recommend their services. More...

Rush Plumbing was excellent. Very prompt, on time, efficient, and fast. My basement bathroom was starting to flood and Robert came right over and fixed the problem for me. His price was fair and he cleaned up all the mess once he was finished. I highly recommend Rush Plumbing for all your plumbing needs. More...

I have been trying for over a week to get a rather small but complicated plumbing job done.  I had a very old pedestal sink that the pipe had rusted out and come to find out the sink was not lined up with the drain coming out from the wall.  After 2 different people looked at it and didn't want to do the job, I started making calls.  I called 3 plumbing companies all of which could not take a look at it until next week.  I came upon Rush Plumbing via Yelp and called for help.  After talking to a Julie, who I must say couldn't have been nicer and explaining my plythe, she said she would call me back.  A few minutes later she called and could send Robert in the morning. It is very hard to find someone in the construction, plumbing, electrical field that not only does a great job but does it when they say they are going to.  Rush Plumbing did it all.  I got a call the next morning, I met Robert at the home and an hour or so later we were repaired!  I feel it was a fair price for a great job, done in a very timely fashion.  I would definitely recommend Rush Plumbing for your plumbing needs.Thank you Robert, Cody & Julie for all your help.

I read all the reviews about Rush Plumbing here...and they're all true.  I had Robert come out to re-pipe from the street to my house, re-pipe the house plus put in a new toilet. It was all done on time, at a reasonable cost with really no inconvenience to me at all.  He analyzes things well, explains what he plans to do, makes sure he answers all questions and follows through.  I would recommend him to anyone!Andrea D.

Very prompt service.  Analyzed problem with a water heater; discussed the options (repair or new water heater); no pressure; decided to get new water heater.  Price was competitive with big box store price.  Great job. More...

About a week ago I had my wash machine back up, simultaneously I had air bubbles coming out of my toilet as this happened.  I performed my due diligence and checked some possible things that could have caused this but knew my days were numbered and I needed to call a plumber sooner rather than later.  They call me back first thing the next and Robert the owner was out an hour earlier than expected.  He snaked the drain but when he pulled it back in it was covered in dirt...not good.  Camera revealed that at some point in my sewer line the water stopped flowing completely.  So now this goes from bad to worse.  He gives me a reasonable quote on digging up the line in front of my house to find out what is going on. One hour and four and a half feet later we discover my sewer line has collapsed or rather had collapsed at some point in time since this house was built.  Crap! Literally. Long story short yard was dug up about 20 feet of line was replaced and the remaining concrete was lined with CIPP.  They put everything back exactly the way it was even though we had agreed it was not necessary because we were going to redo our front yard anyway.Let's discuss the company for a minute. Robert and everyone that set foot in your yard our house was super professional and courteous, they were very concerned with our well being. They showed up on time or early to every appointment and had the job done a day ahead of schedule.  Not only would I recommend them I already have to both of my neighbors and some friends of mine.  Do your self a favor and call Rush Plumbing any of your plumbing needs.  These guys are legit!

Robert and Rush Plumbing are amazing.Our hot water heater died on us. It's a Polaris 30 gallon high efficiency boiler that is not very common. Robert arrived very promptly and got right to work. He diagnosed the issue in about 5 minutes as a faulty ignitor. Then the hard part came, finding a replacement part. Robert called everyone he knew and the nearest part was nearly an hour north or south of Seattle.Robert remembered seeing a very similar part at a supplier down in SODO. He took the chance and drove down to the shop. He arrived back at my house 20 minutes later with the part. It required a very minor modification to the wiring harness. About 30 minutes later it was installed and tested.We now have hot water once again!Robert is a rare person. He is knowledgeable and creative with problem solving. More...

This may be a long-ish review, but I think it's important to make it clear why I think Rush Plumbing is a very good, if not excellent plumbing outfit, and why you can hire them with confidence. I was having issues with the gas water heater in my 12-year old townhouse.  I wanted a local (West Seattle) plumber, and the Yelp reviews suggested Rush Plumbing was a good bet.I had to wait a couple of days for Robert to come out for an estimate, and when he did, he noted not only my main problem (T&P valve on heater leaking), but also put a pressure gauge on one of my exterior hose bibs and told me that the water pressure in my lines was too high, and that indicated the PRV (Pressure Reducing Valve) in my townhouse was failing, and needed to be replaced FAST."Oh-ho", I thought, "this is how it starts.  Plumber guy sizes me up as dumb yuppie with more money than brains, identifies a lot of extra work that needs to be done, and includes a 'rush factor' to push me into a quick decision to hire him".Determined not to be 'had', I went ahead and scheduled an appointment to have my heater replaced, but promptly went to the Internets to educate myself about the job ahead.  I was not encouraged when I found a couple of websites that suggested (1) PRVs usually last a LONG time, and are adjustable anyway, and (2) builders sometimes install the lines to exterior hose bibs UPSTREAM of the PRV so the homeowner will have a little more 'push' for jobs like hosing down the drive, etc.I called Robert to, Columbo-like, 'just ask a couple more questions'.  I expected him to become defensive and try to throw me off with more jargon and dire warnings of Imminent Household Catastrophe.  Instead, I found him to be a patient listener, who had very sound reasons for coming to his conclusions.  It didn't occur to him to try to adjust the PRV, because it was his experience that when the pressure readings were that far off, it was highly unusual that a pumphead adjustment would make any difference.  He also agreed that while, in his experience, plumbing exterior hose bibs in the manner I read about was unusual to him, he agreed it could certainly be possible, and agreed before we tore out the PRV, we should take a pressure reading from an inside bib, like the washing machine.  He also expressed that he wasn't bothered by my questions at all, or my concern about hiring a plumber who might be trying to 'gild the lily' a bit, stating that he preferred to work with informed customers than those who weren't.Sufficiently satisfied, I had him proceed with the job.  He arrived on time, and with all his gear ready to go.  The job took longer than planned, as he needed more time than anticipated to reassemble the plumbing around the new PRV and ensure it was leak-free.  Since the job was estimated at a flat price, the extra time did not affect my bill at all.  When finished, he left the work area as clean as an operating theatre.BTW, as it turned out, pressure measurements inside the house were also considerably higher than what is considered safe, and we also determined that the exterior hose bibs were plumbed DOWNSTREAM of the PRV, and hence, Robert's warning of high-pressure was quite warranted.In conclusion, when one hires a plumber, one is basically taking a leap of faith that the company hired will be both competent and honest.  I am happy to advise that Robert & Rush Plumbing are both.  I paid about $1900 + tax to replace the water heater/PRV/expansion tank.  While another company (AAA Water Heaters) has an advertised special to replace a standard gas water heater + expansion tank for $1100, please remember that I also had to change out the PRV and my heater is a 'short standard', which is more expensive than 'standard' heaters.  I don't think Rush Plumbing is a 'bargain basement' outfit, but their charges do not appear to be out of line, and since so much of plumbing appears to be a 'get what you pay for' situation, I do feel that I received very good value for money, and I suspect you will also.So why not 5 stars?  Two reasons: This is the first time I've ever had to hire a plumber, so I have nothing to compare against.  Also, I am waiting to see how the job holds together, and reserve the right to award the 5th star at a later date.Short story: Rush Plumbing is very competent and honest, and appears to deliver a good value.  You can hire them with confidence.

I have a leaking bathroom problem in the condo unit that I'm renting that needed to get fixed.  It doesn't help that the condo complex as a whole is undergoing remodeling and construction.  Calling Rush Plumbing is possibly the best decision I've made in this messy situation. From the moment I called, the lady on the phone was nothing but friendly and professional and actually sounded like she's happy to receive my call.  You all know what I mean when you reach those monotone robots.  Even when I had to call back multiple times to update the condo address or to check up on the whereabouts of the technician, she didn't sound a bit annoyed or in a rush.  I can seriously say that I am in a better mood after I hung up the phone. Imagine that! free mood therapy! Not only were they professional on the phone, the technician was top notch as well.  He was easy going and knowledgeable about the situation and did not give me the 'don't talk to me or ask too many questions' vibe that I sometimes get from other ppl I've had to deal with.  Turns out majority of the tiles in the shower have leaks all over and there are stains behind it from previous leaks.  Its pretty much pointless to re-caulk the whole area, and that we're better off to find some bathroom refurbishing company to redo the tile works.  I appreciated his honesty in the situation and the suggestions on what we can do to solve the problem.  When it was done he actually went out to his truck and used his ipad to show us where we can go and what to type to find the right type of person for the job we needed.  In my mind, this is going above and beyond for just a regular job.  Which is why he'll be the only plumber I go to for any future plumbing issues and that I'll recommend him to anyone else in need.

We needed a plumber to clear the drain for our washer hook up, hook up a slop sink and install new supply lines at our kitchen sink.  I emailed a quote request and Robert was out the next day to look at the work and give me a qoute.  He completed the work the very next morning and did an outstanding job.  Courteous, professional and clean.  It was nice to work with an owner/operator.

Rush Plumbing completed my gas plumbing job in record time. Rober followed through with exactly what he said he would do, when he would do it. That goes far with me!

We needed a plumber on Wednesday and used Yelp to comparison shop. Rush Plumbing was highly rated and we chose them to fix our problem. Robert was at our house Thursday and gave me an estimated price with the disclaimer that he wouldn't know for sure until he removed some things. Sadly, our cost went from $190 to $800 but Robert did a great job, explained everything he was doing and did it in a way that was easy to understand. I highly recommend Rush Plumbing to anyone in need of plumbing services in the West Seattle area. More...

The first time we called Rush Plumbing, they cleared a drain for us and pumped water from our crawl on very short notice following a storm.  They were very quick to respond and were very courteous and professional.  Rush also installed a Toto toilet for us, and moved a toilet shutoff valve.  The job was very clean and their experience showed.  I would use them again and would recommend them to friends.

While I do not technically live in the Seattle area full time, I do have a rental property and vacation home here. I was surprised to find severe damage and flooded areas on my property both in and around my place on my trip here last week. You'd think someone would have called me, but I guess that would be too much to ask.I was referred by a neighbor to call Robert at Rush Plumbing. The neighbor had been pleased with the service and found this company to be fair with the price and knowledgeable about the job at hand.I did call and my call was answered promptly and an immediate appointment was made. The owner of the company himself came out (on time) and found the source of the leak within minutes. It turned out to be a small job, but I could have been told otherwise... I was pretty upset at the time and was expecting the worst possible scenario. It was actually fixed and fixed right within a couple of hours. Things will dry and permanent damage is actually very minor.This plumber told me the entire cost up front, in plain english with no curve balls... I understood what he had to do and I understood the price. I feel it was fair, and considering he showed up right away... I'm pretty happy!No one likes to have to call a plumber, really. The best thing that can happen is you can call someone like this and it will be the best it can be. I feel Robert was honest and reasonable, and he left the jobsite clean. There was no music or foul language, and he was professional and polite. Seriously... if you need a fair and knowledgeable plumber, call him! More...
