We had a major backup and already had another plumbing company out. Called Bulldog, they came out and told me they cleared from the cleanout to the alley. Then he took the industrial snake to the basement to the cleanout down there. He told me he used the camera and it looked like the pipe either broke or broke and slipped, so he couldn't clean it out.

He said a new piece of pipe installed with a new cleanout would be $5400! If he had actually used the industrial snake from the inside cleanout to the outside cleanout, the drain would be cleared. Instead I spent 3 months hauling raw sewage and waste water to the outside cleanout! Do your job Bulldog and quit trying to screw people! Teri McGinnis

I got a rental snake caught in my pipe I live pretty far out and was afraid of plumbers because of the price of Roto Rooter just for the mileage fee. Bulldogs mileage fee was much more reasonable (1/3 of the price. not exaggerating) and Sully was sent to my home immediately and I'm so thankful for my technician! He tried to fix this issues the cheapest ways he possibly could've, but I unfortunately needed a dig out.

It was expensive but reasonably so as he manually had to dig a hole where my dog likes to do her business and by hand scoop out gunk from my pipe that's probably been sitting there for 100 years and after doing all that. he dropped numerous other charges - including the mileage fee! He educated me the entire time and was friendly and funny and great with my hyped up kids and my loud dog.

And after working hard all day he was patient and kind when I didn't let him know that I applied for credit when there was no one in office to process it. His manager was nice enough to get that for me still. What a great crew! Amazing company! I'll recommend to everyone! Sully did a heck of a job with my issue and relieved the stress that came with it. All stars! Thank you so much!

I chose them based on neighborhood reviews. Johnny was my tech and he was such a pleasure to have in our home. Very professional and courteous. He went out of his way to make the result perfect for us It was not an easy job for him but he stayed with it to the end. I am a big fan now.

Our technician Vince was amazing. I'd give him 10 stars if I could. My kitchen sink and dishwasher backed up and I wasn't able to use them. He was knowledgeable and very honest. He gave me tips to prevent this from happening again. One of most genuine professionals I've ever had do work on my house. Will definitely be calling bulldog if I have an issue again!

Nick was very knowledgeable and professional. He called to give an ETA, arrived on time, protected the area he was working on and communicated his progress on a challenging job. He represented your company very well and we appreciate his help to resolve our drain issue. We highly recommend Bulldog. Thanks! Service: Drain cleaning

I was immediately impressed by Bulldog's staff and depth of expertise when introduced at the Spokane Home Show. A few weeks while later I had a sewer/plumbing issue that needed to be addressed ASAP. Bulldog Rooter was the best call I ever made. Numerous contractors over the years don't even come close to the excellent communication, responsiveness, expertise and professionalism of the folks at Bulldog. Our technician, Sully, was simply the best! I'd give Team Bulldog 6 stars. highly recommended!

The initial work was great. Good communication with the crew. Problem comes at the finish. I had requested that when refilling the hole they only fill to the point of a few inches below the sprinkler lines so that we could easily repair the lines that had be cut in order to repair the main. This was not done. The hole was almost completely filled. Now I have a few hours of digging in order to repair the sprinkler lines. Don't know why communication failed at the end. But it did.

Bulldog Rooter really came through for us. Our drain clogged mid day on a Sunday, and they were out here in minutes. Vince was friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and communicative. They weren't the cheapest option in town, but I feel confident in their work and am very satisfied with their service. We wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

Johnny and Bulldog, were- and are awesome. They were prompt about their appointment time and even called ahead to confirm the time they were most likely coming. That way your not guessing. I can't say enough how bulldog seems to hire and keep employees and that you actually feel comfortable about having in your home. Everyone I've met in my three different appointments were all so relatable and easy going and NORMAL. Johnny even got along with kids kids and let them get in their and watch his repair work and answered like 50, "but why is that?" Questions from my 4 year old.

And wasn't bothered at all. I can't say enough about how safe their employees seem in your home. And how you don't feel uncomfortable with them being there. Also the estimate they provide before the work starts is spot on and it didn't vary at all from what I paid. I gotta say, I seriously wish all businesses operated like bulldog. But maybe that's just some old fashioned expectations.

Thanks again Bulldog! P.S I called them only a day ahead of time and they made it out the following day and could have made it the same day. In case your in an emergent plumbing, sink, drain situation.

I was impressed from my first conversation and continued to be increasingly wowed. Bulldog came highly recommended. When I called, they were able to get a same-day appointment that worked with our schedule. Text and call updates introduced us to Jeremy and we knew his timing. He was very professional and wonderful with communication. He let us know how he would problem-solve and what our options would be.

We hadn't planned on replacing our hot water heater tonight, but it was reassuring to know we were getting a competitive price and the best service. We will call on Bulldog and Jeremy when the need arises again. Excited for hot showers tomorrow!

I just want to say Charles did an amazing job he was very informative and helpful. From the beginning of the process they were on time and always kept us updated on the status I would highly recommend this company to any family and friends. I got several other bids and bulldog was very competitive and honestly much more prompt than any other company. Don't waste your time with anyone else.

I've (unfortunately) needed a plumber a couple of times since moving into my home and have used Bulldog Rooter both times. They are professional, responsive and do quality work for a reasonable price. Zach has been here both times and is great - very knowledgeable, conscientious, and always explains everything (and is a very nice guy!). Definitely call Bulldog Rooter if you need plumbing work done!

My handyman couldn't replace the valve in my shower faucet and in fact caused a leak so I couldn't turn my water back on. One call to Bulldog Rooter and they said they would send Jesse right out. I was stunned. After forwarding his picture and introduction before his visit, he called me when he was on his way. He informed me of their charge policies and jumped in to fix the problem. I was very satisfied with the company and Jesse.

Very professional service. Technician showed up the same day to clean out my main sewer line, since the drain cleaner I'd dumped in the night before didn't work. Apparently the line did clear itself just before the technician arrived, but he was very thorough, ran a video line through the entire line, and didn't charge even half of what was quoted since the drain cleaner had already done the trick. This is the second time we've used them for two different drains, and they were very professional both times. I'd highly recommend them.

I have always wanted to leave a review like this and have the chance! There is too much good to say about this company! I had a blocked toilet that no amount of plunging could fix. Looked up plumbers on Yelp and decided to check out Bulldog. Their website was really easy to use and once I submitted a request, received a prompt phone call the next morning.

A technician was scheduled two days later and then I received a text with his photo and interests the morning of, which made the connection to the plumber personal. David was awesome, friendly, and professional and he called me when he was 20 min away from the scheduled time. He diagnosed the problem immediately and finished his work in 15 minutes. He explained what happened and also took the time to clean up. Hope I don't have any more plumbing issues, but these are my folks now!

Our basement started to flood and Bulldog came in and quickly cleared out the clog on Sunday evening. Excellent work by David Layne who did a great job and even leaned up the mess. They will be on speed dial for future needs. Fair price and they fixed the problem the first time versus other companies I read about on Yelp.

Where do I began- We called at 745 pm. Corey showed up at 930 pm. He did a stellar job of draining a kitchen sink, snaking out a kitchen drain, cleaning as he worked, and did one hell of a great job. Corey, you ROCK!

I use them for my biannual cleaning of my main waste drain. They're super responsive, well priced and reliable. In an emergency, they don't charge extra for night or weekend calls and it's always a free estimate for them to look at the problem before you agree to have it fixed.

Mike from Bulldog Rooter rocks! He's efficient and thorough. Not to mentioned all geared up for any possibility. Although he was able to address the immediate problem, thanks to his perseverance, we found damage that has been occurring over many years (well before I bought this home). Chapter 2 will be more extensive, as we found tree root invasion to the main sewer exit, very near the connection to the city sewer system. I've got more homework to do here, but I'll let you all know how that comes out. For now, we're back to business as usual! Thanks Mike!

This company is the best! The service was quick, thorough and professional. I had a hot water heater replaced and the technician Charles was a pleasure to work with. He took the time afterwards to answer all my questions so I could apply for an energy rebate from Avista. Looking forward to hot water! Their final bill was less than the quote due to a senior discount. Great company!

A+! Definitely recommend. Appointment the same day, received text confirming appointment time, address and name/photo of the technician so I knew who to expect. I received an estimate first which was reasonable. Erick ( and another guy who was in training, sorry didn't get his name) used high powered hydro jets to thoroughly clean the kitchen drain.

We then discovered a blockage where they determined the drain under the crawl space was like a roller coaster. :( Revised estimate given which was $$ but considering the several hours of work, also reasonable. Appointment made for first thing the next morning and they replaced three pieces of pipe and re- strapped them at the proper grade. They were very careful, explained everything, kept everything clean and did a great job! I feel so happy to not have to worry about this for a very long time!

It's kind of funny how problems always seem to happen on the weekends and that's exactly what happened here on a Friday night. Our tenants called at 9pm to tell us that the bathtub and toilets were clogged. I sent someone down to exam the problem and they said that it needed immediate attention and of course it couldn't wait til Monday.

I turned to yelp to find 24/7 plumbing services and was contacted within a few minutes. Since it was the weekend, these other plumbing companies rates were $200 an hour and that's not including if they have to remove the toilet to get to the sewer drain. I was horrified by the prices but when you've got clogged drains. what can you do. Thankfully I got a hold of Bulldog Rooter. Eric went over to the rental the next day and gave us upfront pricing with no weekend/overtime charges!

Thank goodness we didn't have to remove the toilet and the clog wasn't because of tree roots but because of them flushing down feminine hygiene products that got caught in the drain trap. Honest, reasonable rates, professional and courteous service, along with upfront pricing just made us loyal customers! So if you have a clog! Definitely call the dog!

Our basement water sensor alarmed us this morning that we had a problem. Called Bulldog and they came out. Ended up being roots in our main drain line blocking the flow. They did their Bulldog rooter magic and took care of the issues. The crew couldn't have been more helpful and professional. Very pleased with them. Highly recommend.

They came the same evening my tub sprung a leak. I was very pleased with the professional service and competitive price. I like supporting a local Spokane business too. Chris was great, fixed the tub within a few hours. I will use this company again in the future.

I'm happy to see there's a company out there that offers complete upfront pricing before the job is done. They also offer 24hr service at no additional charge even on weekends. Bulldog Rooter will never let you down!

Charged me $190 for changing out 2 bathroom sink drains, $180 for clearing bathtub drain & $80 for augering toilet, but I did get the 10% senior discount. Big deal! Tech, JoJon was pleasant to deal with, but had to call a senior plumber a couple of times to ask questions. When I called to complain about total bill, Chris was rude. He would not even give me some $ off my bill.

Guess being nice to your customers is a thing of the past & they don't care about repeat business! They have you sign an authorization form to do repair without giving you a price. I could have changed out the sink drains myself for $190. I will never use them again!

I've used Bulldog Rooter numerous times for my rental. If you need a drain snaked or a leak fixed, they're great. But I had a small need for a plumber in my home and it was awful. I had purchased two faucets for my kitchen and master bath. All they had to do was install them. They did. and charged me $835. That's WAY too much, especially when one of them looks like this.

What can I say we should probably be buying these guys Christmas gifts at this point, our 1955 house has needed some plumbing care over 2.5 years, literally 6 times I think. Everyone from their staff has been fast to get out here and did a great job. No problems with their work whatsoever. And we have had new sink faucets put in, shower switched out, cleaned the lines, little leaks, old pipe burst and a garbage disposal added. You can trust these guys.
