Emergency Plumbing in Federal Way
Burst pipes, sewer backups, no water at all, no hot water in winter. Regular service hours run Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM. After-hours service may be available when on-call coverage is available. We do not promise 24/7 because we do not staff 24/7. There are no emergency upcharges either way.
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.
What We Treat as Emergency in Federal Way
An emergency is something where waiting causes significant additional damage. A leaking faucet that drips into the sink is not an emergency. A burst supply line spraying water into a Twin Lakes family room is. Sewage backing up into a finished basement is. No water at all in a house with kids and pets is. No hot water in January when temperatures drop into the low 20s and pipes are at risk of freezing is.
What we do not promise: 24/7 service. We do not staff 24/7 and we are not going to advertise something we cannot reliably deliver. Regular hours run Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM. After-hours service may be available when on-call coverage is available, and we tell you straight when it is not.
