There's a reason why these guys have such a low rating. Don't ask me why I called them to help with my septic system problem. BUT,.... I did. The first person didn't seem to know what I was talking about, so he passed me to another person,.....he didn't seem interested in helping me, so he told me he would have someone else call me. My situation isn't rocket science in the septic world. Anyway I called someone else after waiting for a call back. Not very professional, these guys. read more

Had a dishwasher that needed installing. The old one was out, and everything was ready to be attached. They quoted me $721, about three times going rate. When I asked why, the repair man said that they were a premier company and that premier companies could charge that much. No thank you! read more

No Stars! I had a gushing valve at the base of the house last week & had to have the city come and turn off the water. A+ Services came also... and charged me $876 for installing a new ball valve... The plumber was here for 1 hour and 20 minutes. He explained the "flat rate system"... I was overwhelmed so I agreed to the price... but this was a total rip-off. I wrote the company a letter and asked for a partial refund. In the letter I said that if I didn't hear from them by this week, I would contact Jesse Jones at King 5 TV. They called on Tuesday and offered me $54 back!!! Today, I checked with Dept. of Labor and Industries and found out the plumber was a "trainee" without an active license. He was also unsupervised. This company and the plumber now have some nice fines to pay. Today, I also sent a note to Jesse Jones at King 5 TV. Consumers need to be aware of companies that charge "flat rates". !!!!! So when the company called me today, I asked for a total refund. They said they'd give me the total refund as long as I sign a letter agreeing to drop my notification to the "news". The general manager is supposed to deliver the check tomorrow... I will sign the letter so I get my money back... This is a gag order... Another sign of this company's ethics!!! BEWARE of A+ Services perky-two page add in the Olympia phone book! UPDATE 9.21.12 The company has given me a full refund via a credit on my card... They tried to blame me for not responding in a timely manner, and they claim the plumber really is licensed. I'll check again with L&I. BEWARE of companies that charge a FLAT RATE!!! read more

So it's Saturday, my tankless hot water heater won't work. I do what I can based on the manual, on Internet research and experience. Epic fail. I could find one company willing to come out on Saturday. I spoke with the dispatcher, who thereafter called me several times to update me on the status of plumber who was working his way to my place. Fast forward through actual diagnostics, multiple attempts to revive the hot water heater and ultimate identification of the core problem. Options were really not what I was hoping for but they were discussed fully, as were the costs. The options included various repairs, or replacement. I've had a tankless hot water heater for 30y and at this point have a good sense when it is worth repairing and when it's time to cut my losses. My plumber, Levi, was back on Monday at the promised time and as soon as a replacement could be obtained and it was fixed. Working well, hot showers are wonderful! In addition, no hidden charges, debris removed, nicely cleaned up and the key problem permanently fixed. Turned out it had been missed by 3 other companies previously. They were faster & probably cheaper but never fixed the actual cause. Having it fixed is worth it. I can't comment on the many bad reviews but they do not reflect my experience with this company. read more

Chris and Richie did an excellent job. Efficient, helpful, friendly. read more

i had called to gave someone come out and look at our furnace, it was blowing out cool air, they came out the next day and told us that the furnace was old and that they could fix it, however, it would nickle and dime us to death. We got a quote on fixing the furnace and a whole new system with a heat pump for AC during the summer, my husband went with the new system. Nick and Joe were awesome, had the unit delivered on Saturday and the installation was the Monday before New Years Eve. We love our new system and would recommend A+Services read more

I had a common experience with these clowns (back in 2015) that these other reviewers have had had. They pump your tank, then tell you your tank is cracked, they can fix it for $4,000 or so and that they must report it to the county. So basically, they try to extort the $ out of you. I called another septic company. They came out for free and said your tank is fine, A+ does this to many of their victims. It's been pumped three times since they tried to extort me, no issues whatsoever, no leaks no nothing. I had it pumped and checked today, 5 years later. By Rocklan. No issues at all with the tank!! Do not walk....RUN as far away from these crooks as you can. read more

I wish I could give this company zero stars. They came out to pump my septic and within ten minutes were telling me all the hundreds of dollars of additional fees they would have to charge me. Since I had the system inspected by a very reputable service a couple weeks earlier, I was confident enough to call bullish!t on it. I asked them to leave immediately. They are scam artists, super manipulative, and try to take advantage of single women who appear to know nothing about scary things like tools and septic systems. read more

I had A Plus do some work for me, and not only did they do a superior job, but I was presented with a rose when they were all done. A few years later I needed proof of this work being done. I spoke to Amanda and she was so helpful. She got the document for me and was very polite and efficient. I found this to be the case with all of the people that you work with at A Plus. read more

A+ did the inspection of my septic in 2013 and everything reported passing. I was not able to attend so I trusted the inspection report. It's been two years since the inspection I havery some issues. When we dug up the pump chamber there was a rotted out lid with a garbage bag over it. Problem is that the lid was so deteriorated that dirt filled the chamber. No way this occurred in this time period. I Called the Puyallup office and asked for a manager. The gal on the phone said it will take a full week before anyone would call me back although I asked for an immediate call back to discuss getting me up and running. If buying a home do not trust this service. I will be posting the report and pictures on facebook. read more

We've been trying to chase down a leak that was soaking our carpet for some time. I called A+ and got an appt. They actually were able to come a day early and their technician (I think his name was Larry?) diagnosed the problem within 15 minutes, and repaired it immediately. (loose fitting). I can't give anything but praise for their response time and service, courtesy, and expertise. I will never call anyone else. read more

I called for an electrical repair related to my septic system. Two visits and $2,300 later and they still couldn't fix it. The electrician lied about his knowledge and back-up support. I ended up hiring another electrician who fixed it in a jiffy. Don't call these people. They will waste your time and money. read more

I had a plus do a lot of plumbing on a house that I just purchased and all seemed well. About 3 months after they had fixed a leak in my downstairs toilet I called them to come investigate as I noticed it had a small seal leak. They sent a plumber out who pulled the toilet and resealed it. Within three weeks my floor had swollen up so badly that I could barely open my bathroom door. I immediately called them and spoke to Dillon and he reported it to Jeff the manager. It took 3 to 4 days for them to even come out and look at it at which point they told me they didn't do it it must have been my flooring man (who by the way installed the floors 2 months previous to the leak and subsequent damage). I have called with zero response and filed a complaint with the attorney general which they refused to respond to as well, AND they're not listed with the BBB. Zero response zero accountability I ended up spending $2,800 in restoration repairs due to them not putting the valve on correctly when reinstalling the toilet. My Restoration company said the water damage had happened within the last 2 weeks as there was no mold. There's literally nobody that wants to take any responsibility if you look at all of these complaints for their liabilities. My next course of action is litigation and I sure hope that those of you complaining do as well. read more

Our family received excellent customer service and work when having our serif system repaired/replaced. Very helpful!!

I can't speak for what I've seen regarding the electrical aspect of this company. But as for the septic, I haven't seen or heard anything like what this company does to people. Most recently I was replacing a effluent pump 2 days after they "pumped" the septic tank. Well I took off the cover and they didn't pump any of it. $350 later the customer was mad, I was mad and after calling back and threatening to call the county to inspect it, they finally agreed to come out and pump it for free. Apparently when the customer was watching one of the workers pump the poop. He got defensive and said "do you always watch when people work for you?" And immediately afterwards covered the hole and said he was done. I wish I could give them less that 1 stars but since I can't ill just have to give a review every time I come in contact with A+'s 'work'. read more

I do not recommend this business. When they told me my house would need to be re-piped, and that instead of one tankless hot water heater, the bid they gave me said two - that's when I got a second opinion. read more

We have had unfortunate service from this company. They did the pumping service required by the county prior our purchasing the house. So when we decided to sell our house this year we called A+. However, they came out to house and did the pumping and produced a report. That report was rejected by the County as it was not accurate. We had a completely different kind of sewer system than the report was submitted for. Now, yesterday when called back because of the report we were charged for that call. Tonight I was informed that the correct fix to our system will cost $1790.00. I will be calling them tomorrow to see what the fair solution is to this problem. read more

Only get 1 star because I can't give them 1/2 star, but that's all they deserve. The work was fine, but checking with other plumbers after the fact - I was gouged. Major overcharge for a shower valve replacement. I was stuck in Hawaii (poor me), but I got a frantic call from a tenant and they only number I had on my phone was A+. They charged me $1400 to replace the valve because they said they couldn't replace the $20 cartridge. I have checked with 3 other smaller reputable plumbers who all say they could have done the job for $200 max. Stay away from these guys until they start charging reasonable rates. read more

Robert and Will Were prompt and did an awesome job. I have used A+ for years and they have always done an awesome job... Thanks A+

This is the type of company that gives all plumbers a bad name! Total rip off. Seriously $660.00 to replace 2 water supply lines on a water heater, that took less than an hour. If I was not on my way out of town I would have NEVER used them, but circumstances did not give me that option. Be WARNED, please save your money and go elsewhere!!! read more

We had a heat pump installed by this company and they were great! Their bid came in significantly lower and we couldn't have asked for a more professional job. A big thanks to Shane, Dustin, Kyle and Tyler.... they were a great crew. read more

We had a septic emergency on Friday afternoon and they responded quickly. Were very professional and personable Most important, diagnosed and corrected the problem!! Very involved process but they worked hard and we could use all the facilities by SAT. Special thanks to Joseph, Daniel, Derek, Justin, La'e, Chris, Q, and Randy. From all the people involved, you can see the repair was pretty involved!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! read more

Came for county required inspection.. and was told there was a problem. $350 extra to use camera to check. Told me it would cost $2500 to fix problem! 2nd opinion said nothing is wrong, system is working as it should. What a scam! Wasted $350 but tried to get even more from me. Don't trust!! read more

Quality of work = average. Billing = outrageous. My elderly mother called this company to fix a leaky outside faucet. They came and gave 2 estimates with 2 price points: one for non-member ($366.01 or $688.85) and a "Honor Roll" member ($349.01 or $688.79). I don't question a dispatch charge - it's only fair. I question the nearly $300 charge for a $35 faucet (Woodford 1/2" hose bibb). Even Sears asks only $100 for the same part. I called to ask about the charges and was told the customer service rep was out of the office and only is in Tu/W/Th. I'm posting this now to let others know of the questionable billing practices and potential for astronomical charges. If this is resolved satisfactorily, I will amend this review. If not, I'll still amend it. Regardless, get more than one estimate/bid for work. read more

Used for septic pump. Prompt, nice and good price. They even back filled the dirt. The also offered a free plumber to run a camera to check for issues. Cheaper than everyone else I called and came that day. Will use again! read more

It is so not like me to not check out a company before calling but I did. Learned my lesson They came out and looked at my leaking shower faucet. Gave me a total price of $428 which I thought was very steep but figured it must be more involved than it looked to me. 15 minutes later and a cartridge I could of got at Home Depot for $28 and they were done. The guys reason was as the company gets bigger they have to charge more! Not only did they rip me off but they left mud prints on my floor and in the tub THEN the next day I turn it on and have no hot water in shower at all. I am at home waiting for them to come and fix it. I will update after that. read more

Needed electrical work ASAP. Unfortunately, had to wait a few days before they could fit me in. It took an hour for them to drive the few miles to my house and something one of them said about the time devoted to my repair didn't click until later. I think they drag their feet because they think it justifies the high cost of their services. The work was done, so I'm happy, but their pricing is super-high. The almost $40 charge to just give an estimate hooks you in. You don't want to waste that $40, so you go ahead with the work. I see so many bad reviews of them here. Maybe they'll revise their charges if they realize how outrageous they are. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. Don't use these guys. They will rip you off! I called them in a pinch while I was out of country because my septic pump quit working. They charged me over $5,000.00 to replace the pump and pump down the tank. And that was with my brother digging up the tank for them. Turns out that is an insanely high price for the services provided, and from the looks of others reviews I'm not alone when it comes to getting ripped off by this company. read more

Me and my husband purchased a furnace and a heat pump recommended by this place we spent over $8,000 for the new system 2 years ago I called A+ one week ago and told them that my system wasn't working right something was wrong they came out check the system said the circuit board was Burnt the brand that we bought was Coleman, Nick, is a serviceman one of them that came out he said that they don't sell Coleman no more the Coleman's are piece of s*** blah blah and he also stated that they did an overhaul of their office the only information he could give me is that my system wasn't a good system but they sold it too us. 2yrs ago Nick said he would have to get back to me to let me know what the cost would be or if they can even help me because they didn't sell Coleman's no more. A+ I don't recommend to anyone to use them my system was only two years old and they didn't even give a hoot or even try to help at all. So to make a long story short Nick from a+called me on the phone instated that they could not help me because they didn't sell Coleman's no more and Nick recommended that I call sunrise energy systems because they still did repairs on Coleman's. Right off the bat when I called sunrise energy systems the gal on the phone told me that they would be checking with Coleman to make sure there wasn't any recalls on any parts so come to find out it was a recall part the circuit board Dennis is the gentleman that came out and help me from sunrise energy systems very polite I would recommend sunrise energy systems any day I will have sunrise energy also be doing my yearly inspection not a plus. Sunrise 253-445-0622. It's just pretty sad when you pay A+ over 8k and within two years your system breaks down .. an a+ I got news for you I bought the second best Coleman that you can buy for $8,000 so don't tell me that my system is crap.. beware of a plus services. I hope you're happy with you review. Don't be surprised if I don't go too the BBB over this A+. read more

I would agree 100% with the other reviewer (Bob) of A+ services. Instead of A+ they should be named F- Services. Not only was I misquoted when I called for a quote, but the "rumors" that A+ Services try to jack up their services with extra fees/services that you original did not ask for turned out to be true. After having part of our septic pumped, we were informed that we needed to pay more to have more of the fluid pumped and were told we had a 600 gal. tank. Turns out, whoops - we actually have a 1200 gal. tank and we had to pay for it all. To make the matters worse, when I was told that the manager could review the tape, I was told that it was a "miscommunication" -- and although the manager claimed the person quoting me had quoted me correctly, when I asked if she had heard me respond with the amount I had heard (a few hundred dollars less than the supposed quote) she first said that she did not get that far in the conversation, but then a few seconds later said that she had.... It was all in all not a satisfying experience - the manager who I spoke with afterwards offered nothing other than "it must have been a miscommunication." Not to mention they TAPE YOU on the phone without telling you they are doing so. All in all an icky experience - I will stay away from A+ services with a 20 foot pole and not recommend them to anyone in the future. read more

This company is pretty much con-artists. They put in a bid for a certain price, then half way into the project, they suddenly jack up rates, but threaten to walk away with the hundreds of dollars you first put into it. They are rude and dishonest. Go with ANYONE else, you'll be better off. read more

My mom used them in the past for septic pumping. Thought I would try them too. Very quick and got everything taken care of. They came the same day I called. I don't have time to sit around waiting for a week to have someone pump my septic. Will use th again for sure. read more

Our tenants plugged excess devices into old wiring, burning wires in one outlet and heat damaging wires in 2 other outlets. Richie came out and checked every breaker in the breaker box to ensure the breakers were all good. He then checked every outlet on the involved circuit. He replaced all 3 outlets, explaining what had happened and what had caused the problem. He was very competent, efficient, and professional. Dealing with electrical or mechanical issues is usually challenging and at times traumatic. Richie was wonderful. He made what is generally unpleasant a very positive experience. I would definitely highly recommend A+ Services read more

Our sewer started draining slowly a few days ago. Then it began to back up completely and the house began to smell. Called Yelm Plumbing and was told they were out this week but this "sister company" could come out the next day (today). They came and figured that they needed to remove the toilet, snake the sewer line and replace the toilet. They quoted $790 for this; I had the entire sewer system jetted a year ago and spent $300. I found their quote outrageous and their expertise questionable. I would not recommend them. I have worked with better, more professional and reasonably priced plumbers in the 2 yrs that I have lived here. read more

I just purchased a home last year and I got a clogged drain. I tried to fix it but couldnt get it to work right. I called A+ and I spoke with a very nice lady whom sent someone out to see me. Long story short , the first thing I noticed is that they were on time , polite, professional and extremely courteous. The work was done in a quick professional manner , the tech let me know what he was doing and how he was going to fix it. I would totally use them again . read more

Dewey Fleecum and How! Yes, that's a Three Stooges reference to a law firm. But it applies here too. Abridged version of my experience with A+ (Fleecum and How!): Our septic system is in perfect working condition. But it was time to have it pumped off and I couldn't locate the number of the company that last did it for 300 dollars. So I called these shysters. The first move on their part was to open the outlet tank and douse it with Bio-Clean and a bucket of water. I asked what this was about and was told " this will keep your leach field clean, and it's FREE! So don't worry. "Ok, it's free, what can that hurt?" Thought I. Little did I know, but that was the first slight of hand BS trick he pulled. He then pulled up the filter and announced that "this filter was the worse thing I could do to my septic system, and we are going to replace it with the latest and greatest filter. An award winning filter that would function better than any other." It was Identical, aside from having a bit of metal wire mesh near the top. I asked how much that was going to cost, as the quote of 385 dollars to just pump off the tank was at the top of my budget for this job. He said not to worry about it. Slight of hand number two. The two lads were there for about an hour and a half, and had it all wrapped up at which time my wife showed up. We all discussed things a bit, and Shyster # 1 came from his truck with a rose and handed it to my wife. I joked that that was at least better than what a proctologist would do. We all got a laugh about that until he handed my wife his Ipad with the bill on it. She went from laughing to shock. The total was 993 dollars and change. I asked where the extra 600 dollars came from, and he didn't have an itemized invoice....what? After a few minutes of fuming on my part, we agreed that the office would email me an invoice within the next day or two. 4 days later, I called the office and asked for the invoice. "Yes sir, right away sir" was the reply. 3 days later I called again. Finally we got the invoice. TASK QTY DESCRIPTION CHARGE PP001 1 PUMPING PIERCE CO 1200 GAL NON SALE OF HOME $385.00 T4780 1 DRAIN FIELD TREATMENT W/ BIO CLEAN 2 CONTAINERS $309.00 PREF00 1 PLUMBING REFERRAL CODE (SEPTIC REFERS PL) $0.00 S9003 1 INSTALL FILTER SOCK ADD-ON $180.43 I9003 1 INSTALL FILTER SOCK ADD ON $0.00 DL001 1 BIO-CLEAN 1 CONTAINER $79.95 That filter must have won a Nobel Prize. The "FREE" Drain field treatment? 309 dollars. Maybe I don't know what free means. They also offered a "Free" visit from a plumber to inspect the house. No thanks, my bum still hurts from the last "free" item. I only saw Chris, I mean shyster #1 pour one can of Bio Clean into the drain tank. I called to speak to someone and was told I would get a call in 24 to 48 hours from a manager. That was over a week ago. I don't expect anyone will call. Someone might respond here on yelp to try to save their skins, but don't bother. I'm not going to read it. This company is full of shameless thieves and I wouldn't call them again if my life depended on it. read more

Called to pump septic then indicated I had a cracked tank. Thankfully decided NOT to move forward without another opinion. Not cracked. Saved $2600. Upon further research heard similar stories. Never calling them again read more

A+ is what I would give these guys. Good job on re-installing my toilet and taking care of the crazy mess that it left... I hope all is well with Jeff's finger! Thanks again! read more
