Repiping
Report
Repiping is the process of replacing the plumbing network in a home or commercial building. There can be several reasons for repiping. Sometimes an aging system can create lots of problem on continual basis. Old water pipes can start leaking or may contaminate the water. Use of ineffective material is another reason for doing repiping.
Drain Cleaning
Report
The last thing as a home or business owner that you want to experience is a problematic drain issue. Blocked drains can cause very costly and serious sewage or water damage to floors, crawl spaces, ceilings, walls and basements.

All Purpose Plumbing is the best plumbing company I've ever dealt with. Their plumbers have many years experience and are super professional and talented. When the flooring contractor didn't reinstall my dishwasher correctly - and didn't leave the clips for doing so - the plumber was able to McGuyver a clip from 2 other parts and install it perfectly. Highly highly recommend!

About three years ago, these folks replaced a toilet for me. Because they were prompt, efficient, friendly, and affordable (at least by plumbing standards), I called them again when another toilet was in need of replacement. Once again, they were prompt, efficient, friendly, affordable, AND they gave me a military discount, too. Good work at a fair price!

Brian and Dawson were prompt, professional and thorough. I thought my drain was clogged and needed to be cleared. It turns out the new tub is connected to the old galvanized drain pipe. I was advised it isn't urgent but should be done eventually. They even showed me pictures of the old drain. There was no pressure to get it done now, they simply quoted me how much it would cost. They wore masks when asked and removed shoes as well. I always choose All-Purpose and am never disappointed.

Called to have the washing machine drain pipe connection fixed. Brian arrived on time, thoroughly checked out the situation, tested the connection and brainstormed various solutions. He was professional and polite, and explained how the whole house sewer/drainage system worked, which was helpful to me. He fixed the problem and kept the work area clean and dry. Pleased with the results; will use the company if needed in future.

Having purchased an expensive, high quality kitchen faucet we contracted with All Purpose for installation, even though the price for a simple installation seemed quite high. The first attempt, which took a couple of hours was not successful. The faucet was not secured properly and twisted in the hole in the counter. The plumber returned to fix it and got it a bit tighter, but again struggled with it.

Two months later when the faucet was again quite loose we called to have it fixed - again, specifically requesting a different plumber. All purpose agreed (though their focus was primarily on impressing us that they didn't guarantee their work and would charge another $49 service fee) and scheduled a plumber with a different name. The day he was to appear, they called to say he got hung up on another job and needed to reschedule.

When the plumber finally arrived it was not a different one, but the same plumber who hadn't gotten the faucet properly installed the first two attempts. On the third attempt he did what he should have done the first times and removed the disposal so he could properly get at the hardware to attach the faucet securely, and finally fixed the problem.

Except that we didn't notice that he failed to reattach the dishwasher hose to the disposal. so, the first time we ran the dishwasher it flooded our kitchen. We would not recommend this company - for anything.

It is the best service I have ever gotten from any plumbing company. Bryan was amazing very knowledgeable and knew what he was doing. I had a leak on the main water pipe and he came out and got it fixed right away. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking to get plumbing done at the home. Thanks so much Services: Plumbing leak repair, Drain cleaning

Called our regular plumber and he took a week to respond, then did not respond about getting a date set to come out as our toilet was leaking so I called All Purpose and they set me up for the very next day. When the plumber arrived, he found the problem quickly, provided me with an estimate and fixed the issue that day. So fast, and professional. Would recommend and use again.

From start to finish, I was extremely impressed on how everything was handled. Customer service and professionalism were phenomenal and couldn't have asked for better service. The team understood the situation of having one toilet operational in the house and made my service request top priority. My service was completed first thing the next morning.

The technician showed up with advanced noticed, made his analysis, asked for my permission on how to move forward, and provided me with options. The whole service from my first phone call to payment took less than 24 hours. If you are looking for any other service, you are wasting your time. Highly recommend this company. Glad doing business with them and I hope this review will provide the next potential client the trust and comfort in doing business with All Purpose Plumbing. They also provide military and senior citizen discount. Can't get any better than that.

Finally a plumber who fixed the kitchen sink after years and years. Had them replace my water heater. The only downside is the price. Everything is so expensive to fix my last two times working with them, I've had 2 great plumbers Services: Install water heater, Unclog drain, Repair garbage disposal, Repair faucet

Made an appointment to have them quote and possibly install the water filtration system we purchased from Pelican water. Advised this several times when making the appointment. On the day they were suppose to come out they advised they only install their own water systems. It takes a long time to get plumbers to come out. Now we have to start the process all over again.

Quoted me roughly $500 or so to fix a clogged kitchen sink (the clog was beyond the pipes under the sink - I had cleared them first and called All Purpose Plumbing because that didn't resolve the problem). I bought my own auger and fixed the problem for 1/10th of the bid. Was disappointed they didn't have a middle of the road option because $500 for a basic kitchen sink clog is a bit much unless there's evidence of a larger problem.

It was a wonderful experience! I called yesterday to report that my water tank was leaking. They were here at 10:30 this morning and left at 11:30! Such good time! I sent a phone picture of my water heater, so they knew what to buy BEFORE they came to my house. I was fortunate to be a Club Member because I got a discount AND priority service. I have recommended ALL-PURPOSE PLUMBING to all of my friends.

All Purpose Plumbing was quick, professional, on time, and able to assess the situation in quick order and provide solutions. Didn't try to sell us any extras. Cost was comparable. Will call on them again.

They came out quick after referred by our neighbor, gave us a fair quote, got us financed on the spot. They came out in a few days and replaced our water line from the street to the house underground without breaking ground and completed it that same day! Highly recommend!

Can't find good help nowadays, for those wanting to work I salute you (migrants), and for those doing the bare minimum- you disgust me. Been going weeks without a shower/tub after being duped by all purpose plumbing stating that they could do it all yet in the middle stated they couldn't. I'm a disabled veteran who's fighting with the VA, stay-at-home-dad, dealing with numerous appointments for son, wife, and dogs.

I can no longer work with my hands and I'm still left with this monstrosity of a mess because their recommended contractor is nonexistent/does not answer and trying to find someone to finish the job is like pulling teeth from a shark. I guess its time to work through the pain, the marine way. Thanks for nothing all purpose plumbing

All Purpose Plumbing arrived right on time and came the same day I discovered a terrible leak under my kitchen sink. The repairman was very informative, polite, and professional. Except for the fact that plumbing work is so expensive, I am very happy with the work that was done and highly recommend them! Services: Repair pipe, Install garbage disposal

All Purpose Plumbing was able to squeeze us into their packed schedule. Steve was very knowledgable, friendly & professional. He quickly identified the problem and repaired it in no time. Our situation was a bit of an emergency so we didn't have time to wait for other plumbers to come and give estimates, but All Purpose's pricing was in line with what we expected to pay. Definitely recommend.

We've used All Purpose Plumbing each and every time we've had a plumbing issues. Each time, no matter who we speak with on the phone or who comes to make the needed repairs, the customer service and respect is exceptional. We've been more than satisfied with the work that is completed. It is as though the work is being completed in their home!

I needed plumbing service on my out of state home and contacted All Purpose Plumbing in Tacoma, WA. The staff I worked with to describe my needs were exceptionally helpful and emailed me with confirmation and payment requirements. The work was done professionally and quickly and I will definitely use this company again for any plumbing needs I have in WA.

Comes out as promised. Very polite and put on shoe booties. Gene was my service man and I am in the process of purchasing a home. He was very thorough. Explained everything as he went. Great people person. This place and its workers should get a 10 star rating. Won't be using anyone else. Thank you all purpose and you're the best gene.

Ah, what to say, It's never a great moment when you have to call the plumber. It means you'll be spending money. I read online reviews to figure out what company to call and All Purpose Plumbing was recommended quite a few times. I'm glad I called this company. Gene Leal is their plumber who resolved my plumbing problems.
