Signs you need a plumber

If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting a price.

Your options

The most common choices

What Puget Sound homeowners usually choose. Your pro can recommend the right fit for your home.

Repair visit

Leaks, clogs, running toilets and faucet swaps.

Tankless water heater

Endless hot water; may need gas or electrical upgrades.

What affects the price

Why two quotes can look so different

Labor and urgency

Most plumbers bill $135 to $225 an hour. Nights and weekends can cost 1.5 to 2 times more.

Age of the home

Galvanized or polybutylene pipes in older homes often mean bigger repairs.

Access

Pipes behind finished walls or under slabs take longer to reach and patch.

Permits

Water heaters, repipes and sewer work need permits in most Puget Sound cities.

A like-for-like tank swap usually takes 2 to 4 hours. Tankless installs take 4 to 8 hours, longer if gas or electrical work is needed.

If you have galvanized or polybutylene pipes, frequent leaks, or low pressure throughout the house, repiping with PEX is often cheaper than chasing repairs.

Yes, before buying an older home or if drains back up again and again. A camera shows roots, breaks or sags before you pay for a repair.
