The Big Picture
Where this fits in your home's plumbing
Fresh water comes in under pressure, hot water gets made and piped to fixtures, and everything drains downhill to the sewer. Here's the whole loop — and where this service fits.
- Water main, shutoff & treatment Where city water enters — the shutoff, pressure regulator, and any filtration.
- Water heater You're here Tank or heat-pump — it feeds every hot line in the house.
- Tankless water heater Wall-hung, endless hot water heated on demand instead of stored.
- Kitchen plumbing Sink, faucet, disposal, dishwasher, and ice-maker lines.
- Bathroom plumbing Toilets, tubs, showers, and the supply and drain runs behind them.
- Drain lines & stack Every fixture drains into the stack — where clogs build up first.
- Sewer lateral The buried line from your house to the city main — roots and age live here.
- Sump pump Keeps groundwater out of the basement through wet Puget Sound winters.
- Gas lines Fuel supply to the furnace, water heater, range, and fireplace — leak-tested.

Transparent Pricing
What water heater typically costs
Representative installed ranges for the Seattle / Puget Sound area — your home's specifics set the real number, and you approve an upfront price before any work begins.
Permits pulled, code-compliant installation, and inspection coordination — included on every qualifying install.
Full breakdown, cost drivers, and FAQs in the hot water heater cost guide .
What moves the number
Tank vs. tankless vs. heat-pump
Tankless and heat-pump units cost more up front but last longer and cut energy bills. A like-for-like tank swap is the most affordable option.
Fuel type
Gas, electric, and heat-pump units have different equipment, venting, and electrical requirements that change the total.
Code upgrades
Washington code may require an expansion tank, new venting, a gas-line adjustment, a drain pan, or an electrical circuit — especially when changing fuel or type.
Location & access
A tight crawlspace, attic, or upstairs closet takes longer than a garage install and can affect labor.

Water Heater Repair FAQs
Why is my water heater leaking?
It could be a valve, fitting, or the tank itself. Valve and fitting leaks are repairable; a leaking tank usually means replacement. We'll diagnose it precisely.
Repair or replace my water heater?
If it's under about 6 years old and the issue is a component, repair makes sense. Older units with tank leaks are better replaced. We'll give you both options.
