Why Alki Plumbing

What Sets Us Apart

Seattle has no shortage of plumbers. What sets Alki Plumbing apart isn't one single thing — it's a commitment to straightforward, reliable service that shows up in every job we do. Since 2005, we've built our business on doing right by the customer, not just closing the ticket.

That means honest assessments, fair pricing, and workmanship that holds up. Below are the standards that define how we operate, on every job from a minor faucet repair to a full commercial repipe.

  • Licensed & Trained Plumbers

    Our team brings years of hands-on trade experience to every job. We stay current on plumbing best practices and Seattle building code requirements so every repair and installation is done to standard.

  • Seattle Code Compliance

    We work to Seattle and King County plumbing codes on every project, from a simple fixture swap to a full pipe replacement. You get work that's done right — and done legally.

  • Transparent Pricing

    No vague estimates, no surprise add-ons. We explain the scope of work and the cost before we start, so you know exactly what you're paying for and why.

  • Proven Materials & Methods

    We use quality, industry-standard materials and time-tested installation methods. No shortcuts, no cut-rate parts that fail in a year — just durable work built to last.

  • Workmanship You Can Rely On

    We stand behind the work we do. Our focus has always been on doing the job right the first time, so you're not calling another plumber to fix the same problem next month.

  • Honest Assessments

    If something doesn't need fixing, we'll tell you. If a repair is smarter than a replacement, we'll say so. You get practical recommendations based on what's actually best for your situation.

Built for Seattle's Homes & Climate

Seattle's older neighborhoods — Capitol Hill, Ballard, Queen Anne, Beacon Hill — are full of homes with original plumbing that's decades past its intended lifespan. Galvanized supply lines corrode from the inside, cast iron drains crack, and clay sewer lines fall prey to tree roots. Add the constant moisture of the Pacific Northwest, and small leaks become structural problems fast.

We know this housing stock. We know which materials hold up in this climate and which don't. And we know how to work with older homes without creating bigger problems in the process. That regional experience is part of what you get when you hire a local plumber who's been working in Seattle for years.
