Recent Plumbing Jobs in Everett, WA

A homeowner called just after 10pm on a Saturday. Water was pooling across the garage floor and she had already shut the main valve off. Two other companies she called had gone to voicemail.

A supply line fitting at the base of the water heater had corroded and failed. The unit was 11 years old — and Everett's Spada Lake water mineral content accelerates corrosion on older fittings. The tank itself was still sound.

We replaced the failed fitting, pressure-tested the connection, and confirmed the water heater tank was structurally fine. We advised the homeowner on what to watch for given the unit age — and did not push a replacement she did not need that night.

A homeowner heard running water inside a wall and found a section of drywall getting wet and expanding. He had shut the main off. No other company answered his call.

A copper supply line elbow in the crawlspace had cracked — a freeze fracture from a cold snap two weeks earlier that had been slowly weeping before it gave out completely.

We replaced the cracked elbow with a new copper section and pressure-tested the line. We also inspected adjacent crawlspace pipe runs for other freeze-vulnerable spots and insulated one at-risk elbow on site before it could become a second emergency.

A homeowner was tired of paying to have the same sewer backup cleared every two to three years. Different companies had snaked it repeatedly. It always came back.

Our camera scope showed root intrusion at two separate joints, plus buildup on the rough clay interior between them. Every previous snaking had cleared the blockage without removing the roots at the pipe wall — so it kept returning.

We ran a full mainline hydrojetting treatment to cut back the roots and scour the pipe wall. A camera re-scope confirmed clear passage at both previously blocked joints. We set up an annual hydrojetting schedule instead of waiting for the next backup.

A homeowner had a localized crack in a PVC sewer line with some root intrusion and wanted a spot repair rather than a full replacement quote he had received elsewhere.

Our camera scope confirmed a single cracked joint at 22 feet with fine roots entering through the crack. The rest of the lateral was in good condition — no reason to reline or replace the whole run.

We excavated to the cracked joint, removed the failed section, and installed a new PVC coupling. A camera re-scope confirmed the repair and a clean line beyond it.

A homeowner had error code 12 on the water heater and no hot water. He had opened the unit himself and found the thermocouple wires burnt. He expected to be told he needed a whole new unit.

We confirmed thermocouple burnout. The unit was 9 years old — normal for Everett given the water supply — with a sound tank and only moderate sediment. No structural failure. A repair, not a replacement.

We replaced the thermocouple assembly, relit the pilot, and confirmed sustained flame. While on site we flushed the tank, removing significant mineral buildup from nine years of Spada Lake water, and ran the unit through a full heat cycle.

A homeowner found the attic water heater drain pan overflowing when a damp patch appeared on the ceiling below. He called with a towel under it, worried the whole unit was failing.

An inlet fitting above the tank had corroded through at the threads — a brass-to-galvanized connection original to the 40-year-old home. The tank itself was only 6 years old and sound.

We replaced the corroded inlet fitting with a new stainless steel flex connector and pressure-tested it. We found early corrosion starting on the outlet fitting too and replaced it preventively while on site. Flushed the tank and confirmed performance.
