Real Feedback From Our Customers
I called yesterday with multiple non-emergency issues. Two technicians came out today, changed out 3 shower heads, repaired a fourth, did a yearly tankless water heater flush and changed out filter for whole house water filtration, got something unjammed from the garbage disposal and used a camera out our sewer system to make sure all was clear after a floor drain backup. David and DJ were experienced, fast, professional and friendly! They did it all in 2 1/2 hrs including leaving for parts! Bulldog is who we will call for any plumbing needs in the future! Thanks guys!Posted on Google

Micheal MSeptember 23, 2026Jeremy was so great! He came out at 8pm for our water emergency. He was extremely helpful and educated us throughout the whole process. Was upfront about all our available prices and what route would be the most beneficial.Posted on Google
Nikko DSeptember 16, 2026Same day service. Vince was prepared, professional, personable, and explained things clearly.Posted on Google
Nat WAugust 17, 2026Got a flyer for Bulldogs usual tune up special so I called and got a same day service tech. Jeremy Archer was absolutely incredible, knowledgeable, personable and a big old dork to boot so we got to geek out on Star Wars stuff while he did my fix. Unfortunately the tankless heater is a more expensive flush out but he still gave me a different discount thay applied. He also recommended and ultimately installed an Ion polarization system after discussing options between that and a traditional water softener. Our pipe configuration wouldn't make for an easy and clean install on a softener but Jeremy was confident he could do it. We just didn't want a whole big install job at this time. 10/10 absolutely recommend Bulldog and Jeremy Archer!Posted on Google
Kyle TAugust 10, 2026My bathtub and shower were profoundly clogged. I called Bulldog Rooter the morning of the incident and was able to schedule same day service for a reasonable price. The tech, Austin Many, was friendly, professional, and thorough. After the job was finished, Austin took the time to explain what he had done and how to prevent any future issues. If I have any future plumbing needs, I would certainly use Bulldog Rooter.Posted on Google
Ben UAugust 7, 2026Called primary plumber, who said my issue was likely beyond their scope, recommended BULLDOG. Called BULLDOG, who sent someone out same day pronto. Automated texts sent me his name, photo, ETA, and reminder to secure pets. Josh arrived, surveyed the problem (gurgling, slow/no drains), popped septic lid, dislodged blockage at baffle; recommended follow-up with septic folks for pump out. Showed me what to check if gurgling/slow drain occurs again. Learned something new. Yay, job done. Almost on his way out, asked if any other plumbing issues. Yes, as a matter of fact, could you give me quote on installing stainless steel utility sink/table...removing old sink first? I have everything assembled, but ZERO plumbing knowledge, and bad back prevents heavy lifting, crawling on floor. Josh called office...yes, plumbers could be out same afternoon. Sure why not, let's just knock it out. Plumbers arrived, disassembled old sink, walked in new ss sink/table, adjusted new p-trap to span more than previous 3" from center. Showed me how to access aerator screen in faucet, AND learned about "aerator key" to remove other screens. Learned something new, again. Jason's new p-trap is work of art, AND he tested it for leaks (original plumbers who built this house 2021 *didn't* test fittings, and I had water gushing out of the cabinets). Long day, end of day, and these three guys (Josh, brother Jason, and Tyson) still had time and energy to indulge my request to lift washer & dryer onto dollies, so I can pull out dryer to vacuum vent, and [disconnect] both units to roll out of room when sealing cement floor. OUTFRICKINSTANDING, gentlemen. Very professional, efficient, good rapport, and all of this during August 2026 Fires and scorching weather. Thanks EPIC for recommending, and thanks BULLDOG for jobs well done.Posted on Google

Water Softener Installations in Coeur d’Alene
If you live in CDA, you already know the signs of hard water, such as spots on your glassware, crusty buildup on faucets, and water heaters that don’t seem to last as long as they should. North Idaho’s naturally mineral-heavy water can be tough on both your plumbing system and your everyday comfort. Bulldog Rooter offers tailored water softener solutions in Coeur d’Alene to protect your pipes, fixtures, and appliances while giving your family better-feeling water throughout the home. From lake-area properties to houses farther from town, we understand how local water quality affects each part of your system.
Over time, hard water can create scale inside water heaters, narrow your pipes, and leave calcium deposits on everything from shower doors to dishwasher jets. That buildup doesn’t just look bad—it can reduce efficiency, shorten equipment lifespan, and contribute to frustrating issues like low water pressure and frequent water heater repairs. Our licensed technicians can test your water, evaluate your plumbing layout, and recommend the right size and type of softener or conditioning system for your household. Whether you’re adding a softener for the first time or replacing an older unit that’s no longer keeping up, we focus on reliable products, clean installations, and clear explanations so you know exactly how your new system works.
