"Hi [Member Name Removed], I see you’ve been a Favinger customer since 2015. In fact, our records show that we’ve cleared your drain lines several times since then, and have repeatedly noted the need to replace the drain line due to roots damaging the system. Unfortunately, this isn’t a problem that will go away on its own or with cleaning. While the work you and [Member Name Removed] did to clean the lines did temporarily clear the roots and clog, the roots have caused permanent damage to the line that can only be resolved through replacement. I’m sorry we are seeing this situation through different lenses, but after looking into it I stand behind Nick’s assessment. I hope you are able to find a solution to your ongoing drain issue. Dan Dunne Manager, Favinger Plumbing"
"Mr [Member Name Removed] did indeed hire Favinger Plumbing. I reviewed his job and spoke with the plumber. In addition to pulling and resetting his toilet, the plumber repaired a leak on a lavatory drain. While the plumber was at his house, Mr [Member Name Removed] also had him look at and provide a quote for installing a sump pump. Most people appreciate an efficient licensed plumber arriving with a well stocked truck, prepared to take care of almost any plumbing issue. From office and warehouse staff, to maintaining rolling-warehouse type trucks, to investing in the best tools and equipment, Favinger Plumbing invests a lot to make that happen, and our reputation bears that out. While it is expensive to deliver that level of service, I know we are competitive in the marketplace, and everyone has a choice whether or not to hire us. Fortunately we get very few complaints. If we do something wrong, have a leak, or there is any problem at all, we stand behind stand behind our work. I cannot "fix" being fast and efficient."
"We have no one named [Member name removed] in our database, nor do we do work in Samammish."
You know how relieved and happy you feel when you stumble across an excellent company with great employees when you have a weekend emergency and have to call whomever you can find that will respond? I do! I had an emergency and by chance called Favinger Plumbing to help me with a completely blocked sink drain on a weekend (I found their ad for 24 hour emergency plumbing service in an old phone book).
The guy showed up when he said he would, fixed my problem (snaked the line, removed the clog), didn't try to gouge me, didn't leave a mess, was nice, polite, professional. Wow. Wake me up, I think I'm dreaming. I've lived here for ten years and haven't had that experience even once with a plumber on a regularly scheduled call, not to mention an emergency. And I have an old, money pit of a house. So, trust me, I've used several other companies, including the "commercial" guys who advertise all the time....you know who I'm talking about.
Fast forward a couple of months. My dishwasher explodes all over the kitchen and floods everything at 3:00 am on a Sunday morning. I called Favinger again. Same thing. Showed up when he said he would, fixed the problem, didn't overcharge me, was nice, clean, professional.
OK, I'm on to something here. So, I schedule him for a follow up regular call to fix all of the stuff I never get fixed because I can never find a plumber I like. And, voila! He comes back on time, fixes the stuff that he can, makes suggestions for the things that he can't fix that day, charges me a reasonable price, promises to email me back with ideas for resolving the other issues, is clean, professional, nice. And....he actually DID follow up with email for the stuff that needs to be followed up on! Now I just have to reschedule him.
Is it possible to love a plumbing company? I think I do. And, I have to mention Travis by name as being such a pleasure to work with. I hope he's told very often how valuable an ambassador of the company he is. He's a gem.
Bottom line, in all seriousness, this is a very good, reliable, and honest company. You should not hesitate to hire them. Highest recommendation.
Excellent! I know that the straight A's on the ratings probably sounds phony, but I can not find a single thing concerning this project to be unhappy about!... Other than the failure happened in the first place, of course. I have never used these folks before, and, no, I'm not a relative of anybody at Favinger.
We did 2 quotes and Favinger's came in a little lower than the full project would have been with the other guys. I also liked the method of installation that Favinger's lead man on our project , Ross, described, so we went with them.
The project went without a hitch, despite the terrain. It was the most vertical 2 foot deep, hand dug ditch I've ever seen. The waterline was sleeved and bedded in pea gravel, just as described. All was done with a minimum of impact on our yard and in just a few days. They cleaned everything up to the point that you would hardly know they were there!
They needed to run the last part of the line under the house to connect up to our system. All was done in copper, at my request, with no up-charge. It was securely fastened and looked like it belonged there. Top quality work.
Even the hose bib was of a better quality than I expected, and rather than feeding it from the closest access point, Ross took the extra time necessary to feed it from a point another 20 feet up the line so that we would have better flow at the faucet.
The final bill actually reflected a discount because they didn't have to pay for a core drill to get through our foundation.
I have never been treated so fairly, nor witnessed as high a degree of professionalism from a contractor before. Ross and his crew did an outstanding job. We will definitely be calling on Favinger Plumbing the next time we have a need.
"Thank you!!!"
"Thank you!"
Plumbers from Favingers arrived to complete a plugged pipe. Despite unforeseen complications, they completed the job in a timely fashion and with a good sense of humor.
