Emergency Plumbing in Burien
After-hours when on-call coverage is available. Burst pipes, sewer backups, no water at all, no hot water in winter, and gas-smell calls. Regular service hours run Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM. After-hours service may be available when on-call coverage is available. No emergency upcharges either way. We do not promise 24/7 service, because we do not staff 24/7 service.
Smell gas right now?
Leave the building immediately. Do not use light switches, phones, or any electrical device inside. Do not start a vehicle in an attached garage.
Call the gas utility emergency line first from outside the building or from a neighbor's location. They are the right first call for a live gas leak.
Once the building is safe and the utility has responded, call us at (253) 386-5365 for any plumbing-side repair.
