Isometric plumbing riser diagram of a Seattle houseA two-storey house drawn in outline. Copper supply lines run from the water main in the street through a meter and main shutoff to a water heater in the basement, then up to a kitchen sink and a second-floor bathroom. A vent stack rises through the roof and the drain line runs down to a four-inch side sewer that joins the sewer main under the street.

How a visit goes

The same five steps every time, so you know what happens next before you pick up the phone.

  1. Step 1

    You request a plumber

    On this site or by phone. We call back within 30 minutes during business hours and give you a two-hour arrival window.

  2. Step 2

    We text when the plumber is on the way

    With their name. You'll know who's knocking.

  3. Step 3

    The plumber looks, then writes the price down

    Before starting. You can say no; the $89 visit fee is all you'd owe.

  4. Step 4

    The work gets done

    Most repairs the same visit. Parts for common jobs are on the truck.

  5. Step 5

    The invoice matches the quote

    Paid by card, check or bank transfer. Warranty in writing on the invoice.

A 1920s Craftsman. Original galvanized supply, cast iron drains, clay side sewer, until somebody calls.

Built for houses that are older than the plumbers

Half the houses we work in were built between 1905 and 1945. That means galvanized supply lines rusting shut, cast iron drains with a century of scale, clay side sewers with roots in every joint, and a floor drain that only backs up in November.

We know where the shutoff is in a Ballard Craftsman before we open the door, and we quote the surprise in the crawlspace in writing before we touch it.

Anywhere inside Seattle city limits: Ballard, Fremont, Wallingford, Green Lake, Phinney Ridge, Greenwood, Queen Anne, Magnolia and every other neighbourhood. See the service area.

Restaurants, buildings and offices too

Backflow tests, grease traps, commercial water heaters and service agreements for Seattle businesses, on a calendar so nothing is a surprise.
