FAQs

How do I know if I have a broken water line outside the house?

Common indications of a broken water line may include an excessively high water bill, puddles in your yard or the sound of running water when no faucets or relevant appliances are running.

 

How can you replace sewer pipes without digging up my landscaping?

Using Line Location and Trenchless Piping technology, it is possible to route a new sewer line with minimal digging.

 

Can I get someone to come to my house today?

We have technicians available specifically for emergency calls (206-783-4129) to diagnose and solve your plumbing problem right away.

 

What causes low water pressure and what can I do about it?

There are several things that could cause low water pressure, including a partially closed or malfunctioning shut off valve, a crimped water line, or deposits that gather in older galvanized pipes. If your neighbors have strong water pressure, the problem is most likely between the water meter and your home. A qualified technician will be able to identify the problem and explain your options.

 

Why is there a sewer smell in our house?

The most common cause of a sewer smell in the house is a dry p-trap, a curved pipe that is usually filled with water as a seal to hold out sewer gas. Unused showers or utility room overflow drains are often the culprits due to evaporation of water in the trap. If there are no such drains, it's time to call a plumber.
