Why Sumner homeowners recommend us

Real feedback on honest service, solid repairs, and plumbers people feel good calling again

We had an excellent experience with this plumbing company from start to finish. They responded quickly, arrived on time, and explained everything clearly before starting the work. The plumber was professional, respectful, and left the area spotless when the job was done. The repair was completed efficiently and at a fair price. It’s hard to find honest, reliable service these days, and this company definitely exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend to anyone needing quality plumbing work!

Recently had the unfortunate experience of having a shutoff valve underneath my main bathroom sink fail in the middle of the night and start flooding the bathroom. Fortunately I was still awake and able to turn off the main water fairly quickly but still, got to spend several hours trying to clean up water instead of getting to sleep. I went online the next day to find a plumber to replace the valve so I could get the water back on and found FME and contacted them online. I got an almost immediate response and was able to schedule an appointment that day. The team was professional and friendly and the price seemed reasonable so I went ahead and had them replace both the valves under the sink. I would definitely work with them again and I’m already considering having them replacing the other ticking time bomb plastic valves that are in the house.

Water heater started leaking, called FME Plumbing, and they got someone out the same day. From the time I called to having hot water back was about 3 hours, which is pretty impressive. The guys showed up, got right to work, kept things clean, and even wore shoe covers in the house. They also knocked $250 off the bill without me asking. Good, honest service. I’d use FME Plumbing again.
