About Us

Certified Plumbers Operating in Seattle, WA

Trusted Experts in Plumbing, Electrical, and HVAC Services in Seattle, WA

South West Plumbing was started over 40 years ago by Bill and Connie Buckingham out of their home with just one truck. Now, our company has over 40 trucks that serve King, Pierce, and Snohomish Counties. The name South West Plumbing came from the notion that we began serving only the West Seattle area. But over time, and with the addition of the West Seattle Bridge, serving a wider area became easier.

Abel and Daniel were amazing! They were there the next day to assess the water heater. They came with a big truck of supplies and were able to install what we needed the same day. They had professional uniforms with name badges. They wore shoe covers and placed floor protection down so they kept my house clean! Would call them again anytime. Thank you for…

Garrett and Stephen came out and quickly and professionally replaced our 70-year-old sewer plumbing after it cracked. They worked super hard and ensured we had working plumbing each night and through the weekend. They finished and cleaned up and I would highly recommend them.

Chris was a very professional, knowledgeable, polite and patient plumber. They said he'd be here within the hour, he was here in 20 minutes. Pieces were missing from our brand new toilet to be installed, he was willing to take his lunch and allow us the time to run to Home Depot to exchange the toilet. Once we had all the parts, he installed it…

We had issues with our water heater, so we called South West Plumbing and they came out to save the day! Abel and Daniel were the best; they thoroughly discussed our options and replaced our water heater the same day! They were professional and thoughtful while installing new water heater inside our home. Highly recommend!

our process

Work By The Job, Not The Hour

It is South West Plumbing’s policy to present the full-cost to you, the customer, before any work begins. We work by the job not by the hour. Our certified plumber will inspect and diagnose the situation, and will give you the cost only after doing so, but before any work is done. We always obtain your approval first.

Our customer service team will schedule an appointment at your convenience

Our dispatch team will call you with information about your technician once he is on his way.

We abide by a Code of Ethics

As part of the PHCC (Plumbing, Heating, and Cooling Contractors) and the NEXSTAR Network, we abide by a code of ethics that guides and directs the quality of our service to you. South West Plumbing is committed to serving you in a fast, friendly, and efficient manner, and we stand by our commitment.

FAQs

Where are you located?

Our main office is located in Renton but we have the ability to dispatch trucks from all over the greater Puget Sound. If you are located in the King, Snohomish, or Pierce Counties* call us, we can send a technician right to your door!

*If you live in one of these counties but are not accessible by bridge (I.e. Vashon Island) we apologize for any inconvenience but are unable to service your location.

Can I get an estimate over the phone?

Our Customer Service Representatives are not certified plumbers or technicians and therefore cannot give estimates or quotes over the phone. We dispatch our certified plumbers to you so they can provide you with an accurate quote since we charge by the job and not by the hour. Every situation is different and we would not want to mislead anyone with a phone quoted price.

What is a “Dispatch Fee”?

A dispatch fee is the minimum charge for sending a certified plumber or heating technician to your home to inspect/identify your problem and the best fit solution. This is a flat rate fee and is not related to the day or time of service, or the distance your technician traveled to get to you.

Is Your work guaranteed?

Yes! But it is important to note the difference between a guarantee and a warranty. South West Plumbing has both warranties on products and guarantees on our work. We guarantee quality service, which is a promise to you that we will do the job right every time. South West Plumbing is committed to serving you in a fast, friendly, and efficient manner, and we stand by our commitment.
