    I never thought I would call a plumber a Rockstar but. Henry at Bob Oates plumbing truly is! This company is outstanding. The polite, patient receptionist got me an appointment in one day even though I knew they had no openings. Henry was on time and completed the work in less than an hour. On top of that he is a nice guy to be around. I know my old house has some major plumbing issues coming up in the future - I feel very fortunate to have found this company who I will call with no hesitation!

    Response from the owner

    They are super easygoing, extremely knowledgable, and not sales-y at all. It's difficult to come by honest and reasonably priced plumbers these days, and so I was really happy to work with them. Also supporting a small family business! They did a solid diagnostic assessment before proposing any work to fix the water pressure in our house. Would highly recommend!

    Response from the owner

    Hello Santi, Thank you for the kind words and your five star review. We here at Bob Oates, plumbing, sewer, and rooter are truly a family owned and operated full service company. It’s getting harder every day to compete with companies who care more about the bottom line than creating relationships with their customers.

    We had an emergency clog that turned into a big time sewer line repair job, and the Bob Oates team was timely, thorough, and helpful throughout. Prescott was a great project manager and kept us updated and informed the entire process. We're so glad we contacted them first!

Local Ground

Around Seattle, the main drain-field limit is a high water table: the saturated zone sits too close to the surface for a conventional field. Site conditions on any one lot can differ from the map. See the Seattle city page for the full soil profile.
