Is my work covered by a warranty?
Yes. All labor is backed by a 1-year labor warranty, so you can trust the job was done right.
How do I know if my water heater needs repair or full replacement?
Common signs it's time to replace rather than repair include the unit being over 10 years old, rusty or discolored water, leaking around the base, unusual banging or popping noises, or a noticeable drop in hot water supply. We offer repair, replacement, and installation for both traditional tank and tankless water heaters, and can help you decide which option makes the most financial sense.
What are signs I need professional drain cleaning?
Slow-draining sinks or tubs, gurgling sounds from drains, recurring clogs after using store-bought drain cleaner, or foul odors coming from a drain are all signs of a buildup or blockage that a professional cleaning can clear more thoroughly and safely than DIY methods.
Can tree roots really damage my sewer line?
Yes. Tree roots are one of the most common causes of sewer line blockages in older neighborhoods, especially in areas with mature trees. Roots seek out moisture and can infiltrate small cracks or joints in sewer pipes, eventually causing major clogs or line damage that requires professional drain cleaning or repair.
Are you licensed to handle gas piping?
Yes. We install and repair gas lines for appliances such as ranges, water heaters, fireplaces, and generators, for both residential and commercial properties.
Do you handle plumbing for new construction or remodels?
Yes. We work directly with homeowners, businesses, and contractors on plumbing for new home builds, additions, and remodeling projects, from rough-in through final fixtures.
How do I prevent frozen or burst pipes in the winter?
In Western Washington, exposed pipes in crawl spaces, garages, and exterior walls are most at risk during cold snaps. Insulating exposed pipes, sealing drafts near pipe runs, and keeping a slow drip running during freezing temperatures can help prevent bursts. If a pipe does freeze or burst, call us right away, we offer 24-hour emergency service for exactly this situation.
