Shoreline's Dependable Plumber

The most common issues we see in mid-century Shoreline homes include galvanized steel supply pipes (causing low pressure and rusty water), deteriorating cast iron drain lines, failing wax seals under toilets, and outdated water heaters. We also find many original shut-off valves that have seized from decades of non-use — we replace these with modern quarter-turn ball valves during any service visit where we encounter them.

We can do partial repipes, but once galvanized pipes start failing, the entire system is typically at a similar stage of corrosion. Replacing just one section often shifts pressure to the next weakest point. For most Shoreline homes, a whole-house repipe with PEX or copper is the most cost-effective long-term solution. We complete most repipes in 2-3 days.

Richmond Beach homes near Puget Sound are exposed to salt air and higher humidity, which can accelerate corrosion on outdoor plumbing fixtures, hose bibs, and exposed pipe connections. We recommend stainless steel or brass fixtures for exterior applications and regular inspection of exposed plumbing in garages and crawl spaces for early signs of corrosion.

A running toilet wastes hundreds of gallons per day and can add significantly to your water bill. Common causes include a worn flapper, faulty fill valve, or misadjusted float. We carry all standard repair parts on our trucks and fix most running toilets in a single visit — typically under an hour. If the toilet is original to the home, a complete replacement may be more cost-effective.
