Water Heater Repair in Seattle: what's different here
Older Seattle housing stock means galvanized supply lines and clay or cast-iron sewer laterals are still common. Many Seattle water heaters we see are in tight closets or crawlspaces in older homes. Common repairs are thermocouples, gas valves, elements, expansion tanks and leaking connections.
Permits and inspections
Repairs usually do not need a permit, but replacing a water heater does. Mechanical and plumbing permits in Seattle go through Seattle Department of Construction and Inspections (SDCI). When the work needs a permit, we pull it, schedule the inspection and leave you the paperwork.
Utilities
Most Seattle homes are on city water and sewer, so the main shutoff and sewer cleanout are usually easy to find.

Should I repair or replace my water heater in Seattle?
If the tank itself is leaking, it needs to be replaced. If it's a part like a thermocouple, gas valve, element or expansion tank, and the tank is under about 10 years old, a repair usually makes sense. We give a written price for both.
