Services
Drain Cleaning
Our drain cleaning specialists use advanced hydro jetting and professional-grade snaking tools to eliminate stubborn clogs caused by grease buildup, hair, and tree roots. We diagnose issues with high-resolution camera inspections before performing targeted treatments that restore proper drainage. Annual maintenance prevents emergency backups and extends your plumbing system's lifespan while addressing Seattle's unique challenges like aging pipes and heavy rainfall.
Water Heater Installation
We install and repair electric, gas, and tankless water heaters with precise sizing calculations to match your household's demand. Our technicians ensure proper venting, temperature regulation, and energy efficiency while complying with local building codes. We replace aging units suffering from rust or leaks, and upgrade systems to modern energy-efficient models that reduce utility costs by up to 30%.
Sewer Line Repair
Our trenchless sewer repair technology minimizes property disruption while fixing cracked, collapsed, or root-infested pipes. We perform comprehensive camera inspections to identify leaks, blockages, and structural damage before implementing cured-in-place pipe lining or targeted excavations. We address Seattle's common issues with tree root infiltration and aging clay piping systems while ensuring proper slope and flow dynamics.
Emergency Plumbing
Our certified technicians respond to urgent plumbing crises within hours, including burst pipes, gas leaks, and sewage backups. We carry specialized equipment for immediate water extraction, pressure testing, and temporary shutoff solutions while implementing permanent fixes. Our team handles after-hours service calls with the same diagnostic rigor and code compliance as standard appointments.
Fixture Replacement
We install WaterSense-certified faucets, showerheads, and toilets that reduce water consumption by 20-60% without sacrificing performance. Our plumbers ensure proper sealing and waterproofing to prevent moisture damage while upgrading outdated components to modern, code-compliant fixtures. We handle complete bathroom renovations including tub-to-shower conversions and ADA-compliant installations.
