First: we are an adult foster care home, so plumbing issues require immediate attention and must be done to code. Sean was professional, thorough and courteous. He provided exactly what we needed and had the job done quickly.
The old adage 'you get what you paid for' applies here. I feel I got a bargain.
I have put him on my speed dial for when the inevitable plumbing related issues arises.

I called Sean when my Gas water heater stopped working. He communicated very clearly, walked me through exactly what needed to be done and gave me a very great quote within 5 minutes.
Amazed we found such a personable, professional plumber with great pricing. Me and my wife hired him to replace our old tub/shower valve for next week ! Imagine Plumbing is our go to plumber from here on out ! Thanks Sean

Sean has helped us out twice now. The first time was when we moved into our new home and he successfully cleaned several drains that needed unclogging. Most recently, I was worried our shower drain was clogged so Sean came out to take a look. He quickly determined it was just normal P-trap water and didn't charge us for an unnecessary drain cleaning. We truly appreciate his time, expertise, and especially his honesty. Very thankful for his services and would absolutely recommend him.

We had a great experience with Imagine Plumbing and truly appreciated their professionalism and honesty. Sean, the owner, coordinated everything and communicated clearly throughout the entire process. It's obvious he takes a lot of pride in his business and in making sure customers feel taken care of.Kyle, his journeyman, came to our home to check out several issues--a backed-up kitchen sink, a leaking dishwasher, and a couple of slow drains. He was friendly, thorough, and took the time to show us how to remove our sink fixture so we could clear out gunk ourselves in the future. After a full inspection, he discovered the issue was simply that we needed to run the garbage disposal before starting the dishwasher--a total fluke--and they never tried to sell us anything we didn't need.
Sean even followed up afterward to make sure everything was still working properly and that we were happy with the visit. Both he and Kyle were genuine, knowledgeable, and easy to work with.
If you're looking for a trustworthy plumbing team that values communication and integrity, we highly recommend them.

We had Sean do two major projects a few years ago when he worked at another company. We needed another project done and wanted Sean to do the work. I found him online after finding out he was not at the other company.
Imagine Plumbing is awesome!

I spoke to several companies trying to schedule an estimate, each who required a fee to even bid on job.
During the first text exchange with Sean, I knew he was who I needed to go with. Outside of not charging a fee to give an estimate, he was very kind, knowledge, polite, and accommodating from the jump.
He was also great with communication, even calling when a raised bridge was going to make him a few minutes late. NO ONE DOES THIS!
He was a very pleasant guy. He estimated my cost (which was a bit higher than my cheap self wanted to pay) but he also took the time to explain the difference in both the quality of the product as well as the installer. He picked up equipment and got started right away. He remained pleasant even after a few "unexpected " issues kept him longer than planned.
He also helped me move a few items out of the way and returned them when done, leaving area in great shape. Also, he was very considerate of my neighbors. I told him it should be OK to park in front of my drive, which left him a bit in front of theirs too..but he would not do it without attempting to gain permission. That may sound small, but its actually not! Nobody needs angry neighbors!
He explained my new unit very clearly and thoroughly, leaving me knowing the "basics" and even a few signs to recognize any coming issues.
When job was complete. I knew I had made the right choice to go with Sean over the other companies.
Sometimes quality products and service cost a bit more upfront, but less in the long run!
So far, Im very happy with my new water heater.
You cant go wrong hiring Sean or his company to do your job.

If you appreciate education about the work that needs to be done, how it's to be done, how urgent it is to be done, and any other context that you're curious about, call Sean at Imaging Plumbing. Sean provides education before, during, and after the work for a more than reasonable price. He treats your home like it is his own and matches your energy.
It was Friday night - my SO's doggo was getting a bath and afterwards I hear a constant drip. "Turn off the water!" "I did!" I run to the bathroom, and indeed, the tub faucet was off. How did one shut off cause a leak so consistent and so big?
2 am on Saturday, I wake up in a panic, grab a bucket and start collecting water. First thing in the morning, I start calling companies for emergency plumbing. They all wanted to charge me for a quote and couldn't give me any reasonable understanding of what needed to be done without having an estimate/inspection.
I start talking to Sean and he gives me context that what I'm experiencing is common and that there is no need for high alarm. He explains what probably needs to be done and gives me a ballpark estimate. I cancelled my two other appointments to meet with Sean. He was out at my property on Monday and we spent 40 minutes looking for my water main shut off. It was buried underneath mud and grass, and after much investigation, he digs out the box holding the meter. The shut off valve won't budge and I have homework to do - call TVWD.
TVWD comes out the Wednesday morning and won't replace the valve since it's still operable. We shut the water off and back on again. Apparently TVWD likes to do the shut offs and turn ons so that if the valve breaks, it's on TVWD. I call them back to do the shut off half hour before Sean came back a second time to work on the leak.
It seems like there was much to be done. I had the faucet handle cartridge replaced. Looks like the faucet handle was installed lower than it should have been and too far into the wall and also, my hot water valve was in gnarly shape. Replacing the latter would be much more involved work and could down the road also need to be a re-pipe sort of a job. I asked Sean what the risks were - i.e. proactively replacing the valve when I could get to it/budget out for it vs. waiting for a leak behind a wall that would only make itself known through much greater damage, and even possibly mold. It is likely going to be mini bathroom remodel at that point of doing the valve replacement. I discussed strategy with Sean about tier 1 fix - replace the cartridge to stop the leak, tier 2 fix - replace the valve + mini bathroom remodel to prevent leaks behind the wall, and ultimately a tier 3 fix - re-piping the home. We talked timelines, budgets, etc. and I have a much clearer idea of the work that needs to be done.
I'm really grateful for how patient and educational Sean was. Most other folks might not take the time to give you necessary or extra information without trying to scare you into taking more action than you are ready for. I appreciated that he explained the pros and cons of taking action, multiple actions, and potentials for repeat or redundant work. Sean is definitely the sort of person you want in your corner for protecting one of your biggest investments and helping you sleep better at night, knowing that the information and advice is solid.
Thank you for taking care of my home, Sean!

Sean completely saved me in a very tough spot during a winter storm. A water line failed above our garage and flooded everything. He was able to talk to me through over the phone step by step getting water cut off to the specific faucet so our family could still have running water in the house until he can get here to replace the bad line. He was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and helpful. Can't recommend him enough!
Wow. Sean really came through for us in a winter storm. We had a water supply line to our hose spigot freeze. We couldn't get a plumber to answer our calls due to everyone being busy or closed. But Sean reached out and walked us through our emergency issue and somehow knew exactly how to help us. His help more than likely saved our home from further damage. What an amazing service, thank you Sean!!
Great company. We had a plumbing problem in the middle of the snowstorm. Sean couldn't get here because of the weather but he took the time to listen, to explain the situation carefully, and walked me through what might help. And it did. Very kind and generous. I'd hire him every time.
We needed someone to look at our 75-gal. hot water heater that seemed to be constantly heating the water. Sean was able to make a same day visit, and diagnosed a temperature sensor failure. Had the backup systems not been working, it could have caused catastrophic life and property damage. Sean's quick thinking and actions avoided this scenario! Sean did an impeccable job replacing the aging unit with a new one. Throughout the whole process he was professional, courteous, thorough, thoughtful, easy to work with and offered fair pricing. Sean paid attention to details- wearing booties in the house, letting us know the night before when he would arrive, contacting us when he was on his way and his ETA, what he was doing at each step of the process and how long things would take. He answered all of our questions, and has completely earned our trust. We give Sean the highest recommendation- he is the best to work with!

Sean was super helpful and nice, and even directed me towards other services when he thought they might be better suited. A solid human!
Sean was super responsive, fast, and helpful. His prices are more than fair. Five stars!
I called Sean about my water heater. Unfortunately he does not service condos, but he still chatted with me about my problem, offered me three referrals and was generally super helpful. I would have hired him if he serviced condos.
I needed a consult last minute to confirm that a drain configuration in our laundry room would work (deep sink with high waste line). Sean took the call and walked me through the reasons it would work over the phone. He was very kind and helpful. He even followed up with a text of the parts he thought I'd need. I really appreciated him taking the time to help me.
Like many others, I look for a professional that does great work, but is also fair, honest, and straightforward. Sean is all those things and is just a good guy. Highly recommended.
I requested service through yelp to help with a water pressure issue. I got a prompt reply back from the business owner of Imagine Plumbing Sean Anderson and then an over the phone diagnosis of what may be causing the water issue. He was extremely informative and walked me through step by step what this issue may be rather than setting up an appointment and charging a service fee just to inform me it most likely is a city/county issue. Sean you have my absolute respect in how you run your business. Straight forward and honest. When the water heater fails or something else in between, I will be using your service. Thank you!
Absolutely would recommend to others, and will be saving the contact info for future reference!
