How Does Plumbing Repair Work in Washington?

A good repair has four parts: find the cause, fix only what is failing, test it and explain it. We do not replace a whole fixture when a seal will do, and we do not patch a pipe that is failing along its length.

Washington's homes range widely. The median home was built in 1978, about 13% of units date to 1939 or earlier, and the cold season runs about December 1 to March 1. That mix means old galvanized and copper in some houses, newer plastic in others, and winter stress on all of them.

Illinois requires a license for anyone who repairs plumbing, under the Illinois Plumbing License Law administered by the Illinois Department of Public Health. Ask any plumber for the license number and check it with IDPH.

What Should You Do Before the Plumber Arrives?

Stop the water first. Find your main shutoff valve, usually on a basement wall near the meter, and turn it clockwise. Open the lowest tap to drain the lines, and photograph any wet area before you clean up. Move belongings out of the water's path.

For a fixture problem, close the small stop valve under the sink or behind the toilet instead of the whole house. If you smell gas, leave the house and call the gas utility or 911 from outside.

Plumbing Repair Questions

How do I know if a plumbing problem is an emergency?
Treat it as an emergency if water is flowing and you cannot stop it, sewage is coming up, or you smell gas. Shut the main shutoff valve for water. For gas, leave the house and call the gas utility or 911 from outside. A slow drip or a running toilet can wait for a normal call.
What should I have ready when I call a plumber?
Know which fixture or room is affected, when it started and whether the water is shut off. Locate your main shutoff valve, and take a photo of any wet or damaged area. If you have a water bill that jumped, bring it. Those details let us tell you whether the job is simple or needs a closer look.
Is it better to repair an old fixture or replace it?
Repair a part that is wearing out normally, like a flapper, cartridge or washer. Replace a fixture with a cracked body, heavy corrosion or parts you cannot get. If the same pipe fails twice, spot repairs add up, and replacing the run can cost less over time. We tell you which route fits before we start.
Can plumbing repairs be done in winter?
Yes, and winter is when many repairs happen. Cold weather splits pipes, stiffens old valves and exposes weak spots in exterior walls. Roben V. wrote that Monte came out on the coldest day, in blizzard conditions. That is one customer's account. Call, tell us the problem, and we will say whether we can reach you.
