3. Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Pete’s Plumbing is a fully licensed, bonded, and insured plumbing contractor in Washington State. We follow local codes and permit requirements for all work, whether it’s a small service call or a larger repipe, water heater replacement, or trenchless sewer project.

4. Do you install and repair both tank and tankless water heaters?

Yes. We install, replace, and repair gas and electric tank water heaters as well as high-efficiency tankless water heaters. Pete’s Plumbing can help if you have no hot water, a leaking tank, inconsistent temperatures, or you want to upgrade to an on-demand tankless system for better efficiency and endless hot water.

5. What brands of water heaters and fixtures do you work with?

We regularly work with trusted brands such as Rheem, American Standard, Kohler, Moen, Delta, Holdrite, Viega, and Charlotte for water heaters, fixtures, hangers, and fittings. If you already have a preferred brand, we can usually match or recommend equivalent equipment based on your budget and goals.

6. Can you help with water heater emergencies like leaks or no hot water?

Yes. If your water heater is leaking, has rust-colored water, or suddenly stops producing hot water, call (360) 548-0016. We offer fast response during normal business hours and do our best to prioritize no-hot-water and active leak calls for homeowners, landlords, and small businesses in Snohomish, Skagit, and Island Counties.

7. Do you offer drain cleaning and sewer services?

Yes. Pete’s Plumbing provides drain cleaning, mainline snaking, hydro-jetting (where appropriate), and sewer camera inspections. We help with clogged kitchen sinks, backed-up toilets, slow drains, and recurring sewer issues in homes, rental properties, and small commercial buildings across the North Sound.

8. What is trenchless sewer repair and do you provide it?

Trenchless sewer repair is a method of fixing or replacing sewer lines with minimal digging. Instead of fully excavating your yard, we use access points to replace or rehabilitate the pipe. Pete’s Plumbing offers trenchless options in many situations, depending on the condition, layout, and depth of your sewer line in cities like Everett, Marysville, Lake Stevens, Mount Vernon, and surrounding areas.

9. Do you install and repair gas lines?

Yes. We install and repair gas lines for ranges, dryers, BBQs, fireplaces, and backup generators. We also add new gas outlets during remodels or when converting from electric to gas appliances, always following current codes and pressure-testing lines for safety.

10. Can Pete’s Plumbing help with full house repipes and remodels?

Absolutely. We replace aging galvanized, failing copper, or problem plastic piping with modern materials and handle full home repipes, kitchen and bath remodel rough-ins, and trim-out work. A repipe can improve water pressure, reliability, and long-term plumbing performance for older homes in Everett, Snohomish, and nearby cities.

11. Do you work with landlords, property managers, and small businesses?

Yes. Pete’s Plumbing regularly services rental properties, small multi-family buildings, restaurants, offices, and shops. We coordinate with owners, tenants, and managers to minimize downtime, schedule access, and provide clear notes and photos of completed work when needed.

12. How do you handle pricing, estimates, and trip charges?

We focus on upfront, transparent pricing. For most service calls, we provide a clear estimate once we diagnose the problem and review options with you before any work begins. Larger jobs such as repipes, water heater replacements, and trenchless sewer work are quoted in writing so you know what to expect before you approve the project.

13. Do you offer a warranty and financing?

Most jobs from Pete’s Plumbing include a 1-year labor warranty, and many installed products are covered by a manufacturer warranty as well. Financing options may be available on larger projects such as repipes, water heater upgrades, or trenchless sewer repairs. Ask about current options when you call or request service.

14. What are your typical business hours?

Our standard service hours are generally Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with limited availability by appointment on Saturdays. Emergency availability can vary by day and location, so calling (360) 548-0016 is the best way to find out how quickly we can get to your job.

15. How can I schedule an appointment?

You can schedule by calling or texting (360) 548-0016 or by filling out the contact form on our website. Many customers text photos or short videos of their plumbing issue so we can give more accurate expectations before arriving on site.

16. Can Pete’s Plumbing help improve my home’s water quality?

Yes. We install and service water filtration and conditioning systems, including whole-house filters and other solutions to help with sediment, odor, or taste issues. This can be especially helpful for well systems and rural properties in places like Darrington, Sultan, Concrete, and Rockport.

17. Do you offer inspections for home buyers or sellers?

We can perform plumbing inspections, camera inspections of sewer lines, and water heater evaluations for buyers and sellers who want to understand the condition of the plumbing system before a sale. This can reveal hidden issues and help plan repairs or upgrades for homes in Everett, Snohomish, Marysville, and surrounding cities.
