I’m Noah, owner of FME Plumbing, and I bring more than 28 years of plumbing experience to every job. FME stands for Fife, Milton, and Edgewood, the communities where we live and raised our family.

What our general plumbing service covers

Some problems seem minor at first, but over time they can waste water, raise utility bills, damage cabinets, flooring, drywall, and create bigger repair costs.

Common plumbing problems we fix
Many homeowners call us because something is leaking, clogging, dripping, gurgling, or simply not working the way it used to. These issues can show up in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, garages, crawl spaces, utility rooms, and around outdoor hose bibs. We are equipped to diagnose the cause and make the proper repair instead of just treating the symptom.
We regularly help with leaking faucets, loose fixtures, slow filling toilets, toilets that run nonstop, hidden pipe leaks, noisy pipes, weak water flow, worn-out plumbing parts, old shut-off valves that no longer seal, and aging fixtures that are ready to be replaced. If your plumbing system has more than one issue happening at the same time, we can address the full list and help you prioritize repairs.
Our approach to plumbing repairs
We believe good plumbing service starts with honest communication and careful troubleshooting. Plumbing problems are not always as simple as they look on the surface. A stain on a wall may be a pipe leak. Low pressure at one sink may be a faucet issue, while low pressure throughout the house may point to a bigger system problem. We take the time to inspect the issue, identify what is causing it, and explain the repair clearly before work begins.
Our goal is to deliver repairs that last. That means using quality parts, following proven plumbing methods, and paying attention to the details that keep your system reliable. We also work cleanly and respectfully in your home. We know plumbing service can be stressful, especially when water is involved, so we do our best to make the process straightforward and hassle-free.
Why homeowners call us for general plumbing
General plumbing is about more than fixing a leak. It is about protecting your home, restoring convenience, and avoiding water damage or wasted water. A small drip can waste gallons over time. A hidden leak can damage framing, insulation, and flooring. A worn toilet or valve can fail at the worst possible moment. Getting repairs handled early can save money and prevent bigger problems later.
Customers choose FME Plumbing because we are local, experienced, and easy to talk to. We are a family business, not a franchise. My son is now working alongside me as an apprentice, and we take pride in carrying on a tradition of honest, quality workmanship. We treat your home like it is our own, because this is our community too.
Fixture repairs and replacements
If a plumbing fixture is outdated, damaged, or no longer worth repairing, we can help with replacement options. This includes faucets, toilets, sinks, and other common household plumbing fixtures. We can remove the old unit, check the condition of the existing connections, install the new fixture properly, and test everything for correct operation. If a repair makes more sense than a replacement, we will tell you that too.
Replacing old fixtures can improve function, reduce water waste, and give your kitchen or bathroom a fresh update. If you already have a fixture picked out, we can install it. If you need advice, we can help guide you toward a reliable option that fits your needs.
Leak detection and water-saving repairs
One of the most important parts of general plumbing is finding and fixing leaks before they turn into major damage. Some leaks are obvious, like water under a sink. Others are hidden behind walls, under floors, or in crawl spaces. Warning signs may include unusually high water bills, damp spots, musty smells, low water pressure, or the sound of running water when nothing is in use.
We look for the source of the problem and make targeted repairs to stop water loss and protect your property. In many cases, timely plumbing repair can help prevent mold growth, wood rot, and damage to drywall or cabinetry. Water-saving plumbing repairs also help reduce waste and improve the efficiency of your plumbing system.
Plumbing service for older homes and newer homes
Every home has its own plumbing challenges. Older homes may have aging pipes, worn valves, outdated fixtures, previous repair work, or plumbing materials that need special attention. Newer homes can still have leaks, fixture failures, pressure issues, and installation defects. With decades in the trade, we know how to work on a wide range of plumbing systems and adapt our repair approach to the age and layout of the home.
We understand that no two plumbing calls are exactly the same. That is why we do not rely on one-size-fits-all solutions. We look at the actual condition of the plumbing, the type of issue you are having, and the best way to fix it safely and correctly.
What to expect when you call FME Plumbing
When you contact us for general plumbing service, you can expect responsive communication, honest recommendations, and workmanship built on experience. We show up ready to diagnose the problem, answer your questions, and provide practical solutions. If there are multiple repair options, we explain them in plain language so you can make the best decision for your home.
We know you want a plumber you can trust, especially when someone is working inside your home. That trust matters to us. We built this company around serving our neighbors in Fife, Milton, Edgewood, and nearby communities with the kind of service we would want for our own family.

General Plumbing FAQs
Here are the questions we hear most from homeowners who need plumbing help. We believe in straight answers, honest service, and work you can feel good about inviting into your home.
- What kinds of general plumbing problems do you handle?
We handle most everyday residential plumbing issues, including leaking pipes, dripping faucets, running toilets, clogged drains, low water pressure, garbage disposal problems, water line issues, fixture repairs, and more. We also troubleshoot hidden plumbing problems that may be causing water damage, high water bills, or poor performance. If you are not sure what is wrong, give us a call at (253) 448-3471 and we will help you figure out the next step.
- Do you offer plumbing repairs or only bigger jobs?
We do both. Some customers call us for a small repair like a toilet that will not stop running. Others need larger work like replacing old pipes, repairing a broken water line, or updating plumbing fixtures throughout the home. At FME Plumbing, LLC, we treat small jobs and large jobs with the same care and attention. If it matters to you, it matters to us.
- How do I know if I should call a plumber or wait?
If you have active leaking, no hot water, low water pressure, a backed-up drain, a toilet that keeps overflowing, or signs of water where it should not be, it is best to call right away. Plumbing problems often get worse when they are ignored. A small leak can turn into damaged walls, floors, or cabinets. We would rather catch the problem early and save you money than see it become a bigger repair later.
- Who will be working in my home?
When you call FME Plumbing, you are calling a local family business, not a big box company or call center. I’m Noah, the owner, and I bring over 28 years of hands-on plumbing experience. FME stands for Fife, Milton, and Edgewood, the communities where we live and raised our family. My son is now working alongside me as an apprentice, and we take pride in doing honest work and treating your home with respect.
- Do you give honest estimates before starting the work?
Yes. We believe customers should know what is going on before work begins. We take time to inspect the issue, explain what we found in plain language, and go over the recommended repair or replacement options. Our goal is to help you make a confident decision without pressure. We focus on quality workmanship, fair communication, and solutions that fit your home and your budget.
- Why should I choose FME Plumbing, LLC for general plumbing service?
Because we are your neighbors, and we stand behind our work. We are not a national franchise sending different technicians every time. We are a local plumbing company built on experience, trust, and personal service. With over 28 years in the trade, we know how to solve plumbing problems the right way.

Why homeowners trust FME Plumbing
See what local customers say about our plumbing repairs, honest service, and results that last
"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."
"Service was wonderful. Servicemen arrived on time and assessed the situation and had to go out for additional parts. The servicemen made the repairs quickly and explained all the work done. The price was what was quoted over the phone and we were given an additional $75 for being a new customer. We would highly recommend this business."
"They showed up on time and did a great job!!"
"Thank you fme plumbing for coming out so quickly. We had our water heater serviced and so glad we found a local, family run business. Friendly, reasonably priced, knowledgeable. Will definitely be calling for any future plumbing needs."
"I had a leak coming from somewhere and didn't know where it was coming from and I didn't know who to call but man am I glad I called FME plumbing, I noticed that on my main level bathroom there was water damage on the sheet rock and i could basically put my hand right thru the wall so I knew I had to call someone quick. By the grace of God I found FME plumbing and a very kind gentleman named Noah greeted me at my front door and introduced himself, he was professional and knowledgeable and had a idea where the problem was coming from and within 30 minutes he was able you establish that the leak was from a bad seal in my upstairs bathroom and quickly removed my toilet and replaced the seal and stopped the leak. Now of course I will have to hire contractors to come and replace any sheet rock and other issues that the water leak may have damaged but Noah put a end to the leak in no time so that I could start work on repairing the rest of the damage and get back to a normal life again!!! He was fair and very reasonable with what he charged me and was very welcoming, I would absolutely recommend Noah and FME plumbing to my friends and family and anyone else i ran across that had a plumbing issue in their house. Thanks again for your rapid response and your great work Noah."
"I had a great experience with FME Plumbing. I came home from work to find my water heater had completely failed and there was water all over my garage. To make things even more stressful, I’m currently on crutches, so dealing with something like this felt overwhelming. I called them, and they showed up within an hour, which was a huge relief. From the moment they arrived, they were professional, efficient, and understanding of my situation. They quickly assessed the problem and had my water heater fully replaced in less than two hours from my initial call. What really stood out was that they didn’t just fix the issue and leave—they also took the time to help me clean up a good portion of the water, which I physically couldn’t manage on my own. That level of care and service meant a lot. If you’re in the Federal Way area and need fast, reliable plumbing help, I highly recommend them."
"Stop scrolling at FME Plumbing if you are in need of service. Seriously, this company is amazing! Quick response, friendly, knowledgeable and experienced, the whole package! Don’t just take my word for it, experience it yourself. I’m an actual customer and a satisfied one at that! 5 Stars!!"
"Noah really took great care of me and my family in moment of need. Our gas hot water heater had started to leak while I was out of town on business. Called Noah and he was at the house within a couple of hours. Called me to say that he had the new hot water heater on order and would have it installed the next day. Called back the following day to say that he was done. Can't thank him enough for his quick and professional response, and his work was done with a high degree of quality. I highly recommend FME Plumbing!"
"Awesome service from Noah and Brayden from FME. They arrived, saw the problem and came up with a fix. Noah is very pragmatic and I can tell he goes "The Extra Mile". They got me out of a situation in a short time that had taken me all day. I highly recommend them for all of your plumming needs."
"Good work promoted service"
"They were very professional and helped me quickly"
"They were able to come out the same day I called them to look at my no hot water problem. Turns out the supply line was leaking, but due to the age of my tank we decided to replace it. They did a professional job and answered all my questions. They removed the old tank and packing material from my house. I would recommend them for any plumbing needs you may have."
"It’s rare to find a plumbing team you can trust with one home, let alone three, but these pros are the absolute gold standard. I hired them to handle extensive work across my properties—including a complete re-pipe, tankless water heater installations, and various shower valves and sink drains—and the results were flawless. Their work is the definition of professional; the quality is top-tier, the installations are incredibly clean, and their technical expertise is evident in every weld and fitting. If you want the peace of mind that comes with high-caliber craftsmanship and reliable service, this is the only company you should call."
"Needed a gas line run to my deck and my BBQ hooked up to natural gas. FME Plumbing came out quickly, showed up on time, and the work was clean. Pricing was upfront with no surprises. Will definitely call again next time we need a plumber."
"I have had two different projects done by FME. One was a replacement of our failing main sewer line to our septic tank. The other project was a replacement of our ruptured main water line to the house. On both jobs they were handled professionally, on time and on budget. Would recommend 100%"
"He came out worked on my water heater did a great job"
"Highly recommend FME Plumbing!! I recently dealt with an urgent main waterline leak for my house in Bonney lake wa, this team handled it FLAWLESSLY. They provided a great estimate and replaced the line in freezing winter conditions without a single complaint. Their professionalism and speed were top-notch. This was truly a 5-star experience from start to finish!"
"FME Plumbing installed a shower pan for us. They went far and Beyond doing a great job, they called the next day to make sure we were satisfied. I would highly recommend this company to anyone that is looking for a quality company. Harry Madoulet."
"Found a leak under our kitchen sink right before family was coming into town and it had my wife pretty stressed. FME Plumbing was able to send someone out on short notice, explained the problem, and gave us the price up front before starting the work. Everything was fixed quickly and professionally. Super relieved and would definitely call them again."
