Services
Do you like fast service? How about free estimates? Low prices? As the leading source for residential and commercial plumbing in Bellevue, WA, Walt's Plumbing offers all three. And so much more. Since Walt Gillespie started offering affordable plumbing services in 1976, we have been committed to excellence.
A leaky faucet can be annoying, especially when you can hear the audible dripping day and night, but it can also be very costly. Significant leaks can waste hundreds of gallons of water every day, which could cost you up to $200 per year. You can save that money by acting fast and contacting faucet repair services in Bellevue, WA.
A home's plumbing system is only as good as its drains. Even if an appliance such as your bathtub or washing machine is still working and has hot water, a clogged or leaking drain will prevent you from using it. For example, you could have the best water pressure and the most luxurious showerhead, but if your drains aren't working, you can't enjoy a relaxing shower.
Some plumbing problems are possible to live with until you get them fixed. If your water heater goes out, you can suffer through a few cold showers and heat water on the stove if you need it. If your bathroom sink stops draining, you can brush your teeth in the kitchen. But if you have sewer problems, your whole home is out of commission until they get fixed.
A clogged drain can be a simple annoyance, but it can also pose a threat to your plumbing. If you have a clogged drain, don't wait to call Walt's Plumbing for rooter and drain services in the Kirkland, WA, and Bellevue, WA, areas. You can experience clogs in your sink, tub, washer, or even within your sewer pipes.

We have used Walt a number of times in the last 20 years. We put up with all his un-solicited political opinions because he did good work and was fair. This last time is the last time I will call him. He unplugged our main drain for $100 which was ok. I asked him to look at the bathroom sink drain. He said it was ok but charged me $100 dollars for doing nothing other than running a little water down the drain. This was a ripoff.

Affordable and honest work. This is a one man business and Walt charges the most fair out of every other plumbing companies that charges ridiculous minimums 100-250 without doing any work. Walt is old school but he gets the work done at the lowest cost. He helped cleared up a clogged sink pipe for me and replaced a cracked cap for less than $130. If you are not in rush and on budget, then Walt is your guy. If you need a scheduler and can afford to pay high dollars, then he is not your guy.

Walt came out and fixed the clog in our sink ina jiffy and put back the pipes I took off and replaced one of the at cost.
He's pretty busy but if you can get him to come out, you will save money.
He does not take credit cards

Walt helped me fix a broken pipe to the water main.
He's an incredibly skilled, honest, reliable plumber. Sure, he's his own person. He's old school. A bit hard to understand at times. His scheduling is unconventional. Overlook those small thing because you've got a pro's pro.

NOT RECOMMENDED: Beware of Walt's Plumbing : UNSAFE. The guy (Walt?) showed up at my door without being properly masked. When I asked him to cover his nose, he responded that he then would not be able to see. When I insisted, he basically just walked out the door and got verbally abusive.

It's important for both of us to ensure our mutual safety. I did my part; he didn't do his.

Do NOT support this behavior on the part of vendors. STAY SAFE

Both kitchen and bathroom bathtub blocked. Tried all sorts of means myself and even rented the power drain cleaner from Home Depot. But the block is too deep. Walt came on time, quickly fixed the issue. Very reasonable price. Highly recommended.

I found Walt through Next Door from neighborhood referrals. I needed to get the master bath toilet wax seal fixed after seeing a leak in the front of the toilet. I planned to initially try to fix it myself, which was on Saturday, but the bolts holding the toilet down were rusted and I didn't have the right tools so I decided to call Walt. He answered his phone that same day and said he'll call me back during the week when he would be available to see where I was at. Walt is certainly a very interesting character, but he's professional and really knows what he's doing. After

Old school plumber who answers his own phone calls. Set same day appointment and he was at my door within an hour. Rates are more than reasonable.

A no BS, straight talking guy.
I really think Walt is the last honest, no time wasting, very reasonably price tradesperson on the Eastside.
Have used him several times and cannot recommend Walt enough.

Walt's a real plumber and his prices are great. He's not one to chit chat so it's better if you tell him what you want and then get out of his way.
I have had him do several jobs for me and he's always done solid work. Shows up on time and the cost matches the quote.

Thought I only needed to replace a faucet cartridge in my bathroom sink but after doing so it still leaked. Called Walt's Plumbing and Walt came out shortly after the call. Walt is somewhat quiet but he is very professional and his work is EXCELLENT!! I also did not have to take out a second mortgage on my house to pay the bill which was spot on for the time spent and work done. Obviously I would definitely recommend Walt's Plumbing. Gary Mihulka

Walt is the best plumber. He comes out as soon as he can and he gets to work quickly. He is fast and figuring out the issue. He's a little gruff but you have to get past that. He is extremely reasonably priced, honest and just wants to do the work. What more can you ask for?

Walt was fabulous.
No nonsense
He answers his own phone (no fancy second-hand answering service) and if he can fit you, he'll show up ASAP

I called Walt as he was highly recommended in my neighborhood Nextdoor app. He came in short notice and mitigated my insta-hot water leak quickly and at a very reasonable rate. He recommended removing an unnecessary water filter. He also informed me that to fully remediate the situation and replace the fixture will require several hours and drilling a bigger hole in the granite countertop to accommodate the fixture size. Since the existing fixture has plastic pipes at some point they will be brittle and will probably leak and recommends doing that work when the time comes. I will not hesitate

Can't comment on their service, might be great, but definitively not interested in small jobs. Just called them to install a new Sink with fixtures etc in the laundry room, but was given the 'we are too busy with large remodels' :(

Walt has been our neighborhood plumber for the past 18 years. Aside from his demeanor, he is qualified and has done reliable, honest work from the usual clogs of sinks/toilets and faucet hardware replacement, to installations of disposal, sink and toilets. Yet, I was very disappointed how he scolded and insulted me on the last visit. Maybe I missed that verbal treatment these past years because of his mumblings...4 Stars for his work; 0 Stars for customer interface!

I hired Walt for another job, and again, was more than impressed with his work. I had Roto Rooters come by and quote me a price, which seemed excessive. I was right - Walt did the job in half and hour and charged less than a fifth (!!!) of what Roto Rooters quoted me. I'm so happy I found an honest reliable plumber who does an amazing job. Can't imagine hiring anyone else in the future!

I had various people install all-new countertops, sinks, faucets, etc. in my kids bathroom. Unfortunately no one saw that the old location of water valves and drains obstructed the pop-up drain rods in one of the faucets. They suggested that I move the plumbing at significant expense.
Walt's Plumbing was recommended by the Keller Supply warehouse in Redmond. Mr Walt Gillespie simply used a set of pliers and a hacksaw to cut down parts of the stainless assembly until it all fit.
He's a very nice, soft-spoken guy. Thank you for saving me time and $$ with a non-invasive solution to
