I chose Sullivan because of our years with you. I'd disassembled our washer/dryer and a laundry sink for a new floor installation and felt professionals should do the reinstall of everything so it was done properly and that's what happened. Nick and Johnny came this afternoon and got everything back and running smoothly. I was very impressed at how thorough they were in evaluating what needed to be done and doing it. Thanks to them and your company.

We had a leak we could hear but couldn't see, and Sullivan Plumbing came to the rescue. Megan booked us for a service call the very next day, and Chris and Casey were outstanding. They were professional, friendly, and quickly identified and repaired the broken pipeall within an hour.
The pricing was fair and reasonable, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend the incredible team at Sullivan Plumbing without hesitation. Five stars!

I just took advantage of Sullivan's "protection plan", which includes an annual water heater tank flush and while-home plumbing inspection along with other perks like waived call-out fees and priority service when they're busy -it's affordable peace of mind. This is the second time I've done business with Sullivan, and the two plumbers and one office staff that I've met have all been great. Nick's inspection was thorough and diligent, and identified a major problem - excessive water pressure - that would otherwise have gone unnoticed until it caused an unpredictable failure. I'm happy with Sullivan and plan to stick with them.

Sullivan Plumbing has saved us so many times. Last week they installed a sump pump in our crawl space and routed it to the existing storm water drain pipe at our property line. They worked very hard digging a trench and a hole for the sump pump. Very professional, courteous and made sure they didnt leave without asking if we had any questions. They even coordinated with an electrical contractor who was unable to dig around the hard, impacted soil outside to place grounding rods. Such great service and attention to detail Kody noticed a leaky pipe in the crawl space and came back today to fix it. My water karma is restored with Sullivan Plumbing!

My sewer line had a root ball causing a back up into the house. Sullivan responded the same day I called and tried all they could to get the problem cleared from removing my toilet. Unfortunately it could not done. They put in a sewer line clean out and got the root ball cleared out and my line flowing again. They did it all in a timely manner. I can't complain about the price as everything is expensive now days. If I have to call a plumber again SULLIVAN is my first call.

Chris and John came out, identified a leak and told me how they were going to fix it, how long it would take and quoted me the price, two hours later, leak fixed, no mess left behind and the cost came in u der the original quote. HONEST company, great service and honorable employees.
Hope I never need them again but, if I do I know who I'm calling.
Great company and Service!

I recently had a great experience with the team at Sullivan Plumbing. I was in need of a professional water heater installation and they exceeded my expectations. From the initial call to the final inspection, their communication was top-notch.
It is hard to find fair pricing and honest service these days, but they provided a clear, upfront quote with no hidden fees. The technician was punctual, respectful of my home, and clearly highly skilled. If you are looking for a reliable plumber in Bellingham who does quality work at a reasonable rate, I cannot recommend them enough!

Kody from Sullivan Plumbing arrived promptly and after quickly diagnosing our issue got started. He had all the parts required for our repair in stock on his service van and was done in little over an hour. Kody (and Sullivan Plumbing) will be our go to call the next time we need service!

Kody and Casey fixed my leaking tub faucet. They were knowledgeable, communicative, friendly, clean, and efficient. This is the second time I've hired Sullivan Plumbing and have been pleased both times with the staff and the work. Both times I have felt comfortable with them in my home, which is important to me as a single mom. I don't know how much plumbing jobs typically cost, but the price seemed very reasonable and pricing was upfront.

Can't heap enough praise on Sullivan! Very highly recommended. Great service, wonderful people. From our first call to the office, to the same day service to remedy our issue, they were terrific. Amy was very nice, and got us scheduled quickly. Kody showed up after what would have been his last call for the day, and we were only expecting a diagnosis and estimate. But even though it was getting late, Kody diagnosed the problem and solved our issue! He was very kind and cheerful. No need to go anywhere else.

Sullivan replaced a few leaky hose bibbs and some water supply lines for my faucets. The same person that provided the estimate also did the work, which was awesome. They finished the work in a timely manner and worksite was cleaned up really well. I will recommend them to my friends and neighbors.

I could not be present for the work but trusted Nick who I had met before. He kept me apprised and corrected the problem we had. What is remarkable as well is that I had flagged him down a few months ago when I saw him leaving my neighbors house. I needed a plumber to assess a poorly draining sink. He assessed it and gave a couple of suggestions we could try before investing in an expensive repair. Honest, considerate, and capable.

We had a pretty good experience using Sullivan. Our water heater went out on a Friday and Kody installed a new one on Saturday. He was extremely patient and friendly - even measuring the dimensions of his truck for a curious neighbor. Not the first time utilizing Sullivan's services and won't be the last.

I had water coming out of the front of my new house yesterday. My usual plumber was fully booked and recommended Sullivan.
I called and they were out within an hour. They found my issue (which was luckily minor) and got it fixed quickly.
Ill definitely work with them again.

We have been using Sullivan Plumbing for 20 years on 2 separate homes. They have installed new shower and bath plumbing, toilets, water heaters, also kitchen sink plumbing along with a new garbage disposal (May 2025). They also set up the well pump, outdoor faucets etc. So we have used them extensively.
We have always found them to be professional, highly skilled and generally -- on the ball. In addition, we also found them to be honest in what could be repaired vs replaced. They are a smaller company, but we see that as a plus.

Kody and Johhny came out and installed our water heater and replaced some of the surrounding plumbing. They did a great job, listened to my requests and cleaned up the workspace and old items before they left.
I appreciate Sullivan Plumbing for their quick service, fair pricing and keeping it local!

We had a great experience with Sullivan Plumbing. They repaired a leaking drain from our claw foot tub for less than half what we had been quoted from another company (whose plumber had still not gotten back to us to explain the quote more than a week after their first repair failed).
Nick from Sullivan was courteous and knowledgeable and took care of the problem in just a couple hours. Highly recommended.

Their staff are responsive, friendly, professional, knowledgeable and all their work has been the best. We've called Sullivan Plumbing several times since buying our vintage house. From finding the source of a smell, to fixing the problem, new installations, recommendations for products and solutions, correcting non- plumbers attempts at installs and repairs - we have been completely happy with their work. They respect our home and our cats, and we will definitely continue to call them with all our plumbing needs. We still have a kitchen remodel to go!

Highly, Highly recommend Sullivan Plumbing! Nick got our vacation back on track! Visiting WA on holiday, we experienced a leaking pipe that caused the water to be shut off until a fix could happen. Sullivan came to the rescue, arriving asap. Nick drove out to our location, quickly diagnosed the issue, and got to work! He completely fixed our problem, flushed the system, and turned the water back on. NO MORE FLOODING!!! Couldn't have gone more smoothly. Thank you Sullivan Plumbing.
